Friend if mine wants her X2 rooted and she is on 2.3.5. I've looked for rooting methods and can only find broken or outdated ones. Can someone link me to the most recent root tools for the X2? I'm actually an Inc2 user and am not familiar with the process for Motorola phones.

If it has the 1.3.418 OTA update you can use :

Nice. Now just one other q: being an HTC owner I've never had to use red lite or never had to SBF back to any stock ROM....is there a guide around here for that process? To go from 2.3.5 to 2.3.4 I mean. I've done a quick look through of some of these forums today and all I find is people referencing the process

2.3.5
I flashed back to 2.3.5 Now I am rooted but my phone is back up to 2.3.5. Is this normal? Can I still flash a rom?

There's so many post already in this forum on exactly this. Not being mean, but just use the search box for "gingerbread root DROID x2".
DX2 - Eclipse v0.7

Gingerbreak doesn't work on Gingerbread for DX2.
You have to use the Motorola one click root method if you are already on GB.
If you are on froyo gingerbreak will work, then you can flash p3's gingerbread zip.
And find the right recovery. Its not the DX recovery. And you have to be plugged in when using the recovery.
Hey guys, so I purchased my Razr Maxx locally from a guy who has it stock rooted. I currently have the latest 6.12.181 software on there with Android 2.3.6.
With that being said, I would like to unroot the phone to start fresh and I may be sending my phone in for repairs. Can someone please direct me to a tutorial (video or website) that will show me how to do this?
I found this site: http://droidrazrroot.com/droid-razr-unroot/how-to-unrootunbrick-your-rooted-droid-razr-back-to-android-2-3-66-12-173/
But that site is to go back to 6.12.173 which is the older version. Do I follow those steps but with a different file?
Sorry if I sound noobish, but I have never had a Motorola phone before or done any rooting (or unrooting) with one.
Thanks!
You can go to earlier update and it will update to the latest once up and running.

Ive been searching for a clear and concise how to for flashing the X2 rom i have the cm10 port and it fails something to the extent of wrong kernel
the X2 was givin to me so i dont know the history
The specs are as follows
system version 1.3.418.Mb870.verizon.en.us
Android Version 2.3.5
Baseband N_03.13.31P
Kernal version 2.6.32.9-00008
id read somewhere about having to sbf down to froyo before rooting is this the issue?
all roms are flashed on 2.3.4, with exception of eclipse, which is flashed on 2.3.5
flash back to 2.3.4, using sbf and rsd lite,
reroot, install bsr, install cm10

this is how i sbf my phone to 2.3.4, it seems to be the easiest. just make an iso disk, restart your computer with the disk inside, sbf. heres the link http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x2-hacks/41697-tool-ezsbf-dx2.html , although i think it is the same link that shadow gave you. just making sure you saw the ez sbf disc option. good luck.
Your best bet would be to SBF and run a ROM like CM7 or Eclipse 2.3 or Liberty3 (most stable roms)

So..I rooted my phone on 2.3.5. If I SBF back to 2.3.4, can I use RootKeeper to get root back?? Or will that cause problems?
flashing a sbf rewrites all system files, there will be no rootkeeper backup

One more question, will I need to go through the activation process with my carrier after SBF flash?
which carrier?

just dial *228 if you don't get an activation screen.
it's an automated call just press 1, when prompted.
Sent from my XT862 using xda premium
you should just use ezSBF DX2 2.3.4
less likely to cause reactivation problems
What roms, if any, can I use on my Droid X2 after flashing it over to Cricket? Can I even root the phone now after its flashed over? Thanks.

you can install eclipse 2.3 as phone is on 2.3.5
if you soft brick, do not use rsd lite, it will wipe radio settings
you should be able to use DX2 2.3.4 ezSBF or flash SBFs with 'sbf_flash'
links in my list

good idea to back up apn settings, using 'apn back up and restore'
and make a nandroid in DX2 bsr (bootstrap/ system recovery)
There is a very good flash to Cricket tutorial over on cricketusersforums that will guide you through the flashing process... I had to reflash my X2 so many times I became a pro lol... Just in case you have to sbf you won't be totally screwed.

I have a Droid Razr, the original, flashed to cricket with Gingerbread 2.3.6 . I am trying to find a safe way to update the kernal and get ics while still flashed to cricket. I have not had success finding a tutorial by using google. But maybe someone else could try. Or help me in some way. Please and thank you
