I don't know what went wrong in my rooting process?! - Motorola Droid X2

I used doomloords zergrush root method on my DX2 on 2.3.4. It ran through the steps seemingly well and rebooted like it should. Upon boot there was no super user and It tested negative for root? So I tried runnin the program again, and when I "press any key" all of the steps show up instantly like it was just showing what had already been done. Then I thought I would just try runnin the unroot and all the steps were there popped up instantly too. Every time I run through the root method nothing happens now, and I don't have superuser? Uhhhh...i need to get rooted soon!!!

Read page 482 to help troubleshoot zergrush. It works great only one reboot I use it all the time. Good luck I think these tips from Ash will vet you there.

I highly doubt it makes a difference but, I used Zergrush on 2.3.5 and it worked flawlessly. On 2.3.4 I used Motorola One Click Root and it worked fine. If it gives you a hard time still and you want to try what I did, let me know. I think I still have the files saved somewhere.

Kewl. I didn't think it did. It was really easy. Never heard of any problems with it until now.

in windows 7, zerg fails everytime, for me
but in linux (ezSBF) works fine

Must of gave myself bad luck. Last night is first time I had problems with zergrush. Had to use Pete's one click. I have used zergeush over 10 times with no issues. And I ran out of time to troubleshoot the problem.

Would you send me the motorola one click root? Since I'm still on 2.3.4 and zergrush continues to fail...is there an OTA 2.3.5?! When did that come out because it's still not available on my phone..

let's see if I can work magic again
zergrush works perfectly well with rooting,2.3.4 AS WELL AS 2.3.5
so since you got thru the whole script and it didn't error on ya, I'm thinking you may have forgot to check the unknown sources box in settings>applications on you x2
try this
first turn it on(while your in there, might as well give the debugging setting a toggle off/on, make sure debugging is ON before exiting and starting zergrush)
try the script again
if it hits through the script with no errors but you still don't see superuser
then go into the play store, install superuser , AND get a busybox installer and see if you can manually install that way
then reboot and see if you can use a root capable app
let me know if this works if you try it please

It doesn't even run through the script. The entire script just pops up from my previous try. I'll try the busy box installer...

you did unzip the zergrush package before running the script correct?
you should have done a right click extract all/decompress here (depending on what zip tool used)

How did i forget to try that?
Lol, I GOT ROOOTTTTEEEEEED!!!
But i noticed during the root script (by the way i used zergrush v4) is said something along the lines of:
not enough space in /system/
freeing up space in /system/ by removing google maps
and upon reboot, i still had my icon but when i clicked on it is just kept saying loading for an extremely long time... so i started deleting all the apps i never use. then i got a notification that said "updated to newest version" so did zergrush just remove the updates for it to make room? then when i had freed up space i got it back? because i dont want to get into removing bloatware...or anything that could cause bricking. because i bricked my LG ally (no dev for those phones) and cant afford to lose my droid. lol, just rooted for wifi tethering! thanks ash, travis, and everyone else! but do you recommend i install CWM for safety??

you are fine
I recommend installing our BSR, don't install,cwm from,ROM manager or anything
there is links floating inn or forum, check the sticky made by booked or moonshadow for correct apk
then make,a nandroid backup.
and don't worry
if you remove any bloatware apks that won't be enough to hard brick ya, if anything dies wrong from removing boat apps all you need to do is flash an,sbf and you will be back in the game
I, have yet to see a hard bricked Droid x2(vzw)
milestone x2 might be a different story tho not sure lol
but having a, nandroid backup of stock rooted will make everything even easier for ya if something goes wrong you can just restore nandroid and PRESTO you will have EVERYTHING back to EXACTLY how it was when you created said nandroid trust me on that one, you wont regret having a nandroid backup available
