did mine and my wifes no problems
A lot of people have good luck with the AIO method. I personally don't like it though. I prefer the photon-torpedo method. But that's just my preference.
I used AIO One Click Root myself, and it always works, that is true, you cannot go wrong with it as long as you follow the few directions.

I use the Photon-torpedo method and always works like a champ.

aio is the best
question is everyone rooting straight out the box or running the System update then rooting
Sent from my HERO200 using xda premium
Doing a System Motorola Software Update, then Rooting. If you have the device, I personally recommend System Update, Install Proper Drivers To Your PC, and Using the AIO One Click Root Method. It is arguably the easiest.
I can't make it work

getting a photon in less than a month researching root methods still on the fence about unlocking. no 4g around me for 100 miles but still can't seem to bring myself to intentionally screwing something up. think IM going to root and run stock ROM

Joker has a rom that can be used with a locked bootloader.

AIO One Click Root is the foolproof way for me personally.

I too used AIO method from ACsyndicate
Beautiful thing about this phone . You can use custom rom and kernal and if 1 day u wanted to go back just flash the sbf with rsd.
AIO all the way

thanks for all ur help people
If you don't have 4G in your area, then you gotta unlock the BL and flash one of Joker's ROM's and Kernel's, makes the phone ridiculously fast. Plus it still serves its main purpose, being a phone. To me, that's full of win. Plus I'm in Diego with no 4G.

New X2 user....need tips

Just got my hands on a Milestone X2. It came with 2.3.6 already installed. I've been searching for rooting information but most of it topped out at 2.3.4. Any ideas what to do next. I'm already missing apps like adfree lol.
I would try zergrush and/or petes one click root. May not work in that version but can't hurt to try.

According to this thread, there is no root 4 u. Sorry boss.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405077

Best(easiest) method to unlock boot loader using mac (osx)???

I've searched all morning for an answer to this and while there is a thread that includes somewhat instructions to do it on a mac. those instructions are very faint. if someone here has used a mac and knows of easy way to unlock the bootloader feel free to share
a short how to would be nice of you as well. I'm familiar with using terminal if its needed.
btw im rooted already.
jeez no one?
Bootcamp windows?

That is what I use (bootcamp) for anything that requires more than some adb stuff.

Yeah it looks like ill have to resort to that...
Using "sbf_flash" on a mac?
So, I've been reading a ton and still am unsure... is there any reason I could not follow the instructions on this thread here to unlock my bootloader with a Mac? (And would it also work to flash the sbf as well?)
(Seems very similar to instructions on doing this on a mac for the Atrix too).
Those threads seem pretty old, so I just want to make sure they are still accurate, and I am not missing some reason I see so many people say using a Mac isn't possible....

Rooting help with thunderbolt

Ok i im not super awesome at flashing roms or rooting but i get around lol. I just got a HTC thunderbolt and been trying to find working links for any root program. Its like every link even on this site sends me to livid or some bum site that has nothing to do with what im trying to accomplish i need downloads so i can start my flashing adventures.
Use the allinone tool over in the development section. Best thing for the thunderbolt.

[Q] Guide for Rooting?

I am switching from a S5 to the M8 shortly and am trying to find a guide on how to root this phone. It's very possible I just missed it while looking through the forum or maybe there isn't one at all. Keep in mind that I am a Mac user and have 0 access to a windows machine. Could some link me to a guide if one already exists or if one doesn't could anyone, with the knowledge to do so, make a guide on how to do this.
Thanks guys.
Here is the link to root but you might be out of luck if you can't use a PC. I believe this is only for PC and I think I read that a Mac version won't be worked on but I could be wrong.
Also, there is a video on YouTube that breaks down how to use the toolkit.

Yeah I've seen this one. It looks incredible other than being locked down to PC. Maybe I'll Downloader a virtual machine or something. Idk.
