can someone please make a video of how to root a motorola x2 running 2.3.6!? I've looked at all the threads , i've performed sbf and end up bricking my phone! i've already briked 2 phones! someone please tell how to do this! idk if its my computer or what? im tire of braking my phone!
If you are on 2.3.6 then I believe you have a milestone X2. Maybe I'm wrong but I think the Droid X2 only goes up to 2.3.5. So if you are using stuff not made for the Milestone X2 then yes, you will mess stuff up.
EDIT: If you, in fact, have a Milestone X2, go here:

I have come across a motorola droid x2 dev phone
from before the phone actually released.
might help root procedures for someone who knows things
Blur_Version .1. 10. 1. mb810. verizon. en. us
firmware 2.1
baseband 2.6.29-omap1
hrpw76[not a link]il93lnxdroid13 #1
bootloader fastboot mode:12.01
Well its certainly interesting.
Do you have the capability to do a complete dump of the device for some of the big brains here can pick at?
Moved to proper forum.
I could do a dump if someone tells me how.

Gonna put it up on ebay... esn is clear so there is no real reason to hold onto it...
If Someone has some instructions on how i could help the community before it is gone, ill be more than willing to do whatever you guys want...
shoot me a private message if anyone wants anything before its gone!!!
Thanks

Are you sure this is a Droid X2 and not a Droid X? Does it have a camera button? Just asking because the blur version is mb810 which is a Droid X

The 810 is a droid x, and the X2 was never on 2.1.

Remember he said it was a dev phone. It prob has an earlier than release software installed on it.
if it really is a dev phone, give a dev the chance to buy it instead of some shmuck who wants a fancy pants phone on ebay
which are you doing?

same here, i think
I'm having reboots every day on froyo. I don't think I have much to lose by upgrading.

Im gonna take the update. I sbf'd last night. Im gonna try to save the update and install later. Im gonna see if the xda community can root it and I can go back to being bloat free

Im not rommed but im rooted, but i hear lots of people talk about SBFing to stock so they can get the update, but if your just rooted doesnt it not matter?
EDIT, never owned a Droid and have always used phones with easily unlocked bootloaders so this whole SBF thing is new to me
My experience with other droids, You will get the update still but it might fail installing if you are rooted. Some custom roms remove the ota ability.
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
Also theres a good chance the sbf will not work if you take the OTA update just ask the atrix users
No root, no upgrade. I've got my Honeycomb tablet rooted, rom'd, and OC'd faster than the phone, I can hold out until Verizon allows a full unlock if I have to.
How would the abc not work after the ota? DROID x users can sbf from .496 back to 2.3.340 .then again I understand this is a new phone .... and ATRIX users can't sbf back to 2.2? Wow.

abc? I'm assuming you mean sbf.
The x did lose their sbf ability, then they got a new one. Any time a OTA updates the bootloader, the current sbf becomes worthless. New bootloader needs a new sbf.
BTW so far this isn't 100% confirmed but it *looks* like the x2 gingerbread update contains a new bootloader, meaning it probably will hard brick your phone if you try to sbf. So if you already updated, have fun waiting for the dev team to find an exploit to root 2.3.4. You basically updated to a D3 minus the keyboard.

Im gonna wait and see what happens with the updaters... Let them deal with what may come... I have downloaded the update from the link in another thread for when everything does get sorted out...

+1 on that. I have NO plans to apply this update. I'm rooted and need to stay that way.

Yep just ask the attic users which tried to sbf from 2.3.4 they all got a hard brick

I don't plan on updating until GB is rooted.
Seems like a lot of people around the net upgraded not knowing it can't be rooted, or are disappointed in the update (for trivial reasons). I will wait to see what P3 is doing today with it via his Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/P3Droid
I am waiting. In cases like this I suspend my usual early adopter mentality. I'd like to be able to root and sbf. I bought the phone after I saw the sbf (and days before Verizon implemented tiered data) so I feel no need to cripple myself.
That said, I am envious of those playing with their "new" phones today.

well i voted i was going to stay (rooted and affinity rom), but i broke down and upgraded... havent regretted it yet
To bad this isn't 2.3.4 its 2.3.3 one reason I haven't upgraded yet I want all the new blur features or im keeping root.

Here's my dilemma, I just went out and bought myself a Motorola milestone x2 which I have through a local provider. I believe this phone is the same if not very similar to the Droid x2. My problem is the fact I got it with the android version 2.3.5 and can't root with any sort of one click root off my computer. The plan is to sbf back to android version 2.2 or 2.3.3 but am not sure if I can use the Droid x2 files contained on this site and don't wanna turn the phone into an expensive paperweight so any input would be great. I've search for earlier versions of the milestone x2 but only can find phones w a slide out keyboard n don't wanna chance it.

Yes I have v1-v3 actually. Everything seems to work fine until it gets to the point of writing su and busybox to the phone, claims everything is read only. my phone will restart while the program says I'm rooted but I'm not

I would try to find specific files for that phone. There seem to be significant differences between the Milestone and the X2. I would check over at androidforums.com, they have a few milestone forums, but nothing for "milestone x2." Can't quite find that phone anywhere actually. I'm almost 100% that the x2 sbf file won't work properly if you flash it on that phone.
Thats odd..I had the choice between this and the htc merge...went with this because of the duel core, 1ghz processor and bigger screen..plus I had some problems with htc phones in the past. I wouldn't have figured this would be so difficult to root

It is not.
Phone info and box both say Milestone x2.
Same specs as the droid x2 as same visual.
I really can't find any info on the phone online..a lil here or a little there with little to no responses about it.
Its very odd
To the op: could you post a screen shot of your system version thru build # on the about phone screen in portrait mode(or post the equivalent)? It could be you could try update.zipping the latest 1.3.413 of 235 found here in the "cheesecake" thread. You would do it from stock recovery and if it let you do it it might be the safest venture. Not recommending it as yet though.
Is this the phone ur refering to http://www.cellcom.com/device.html?id=247&categoryid=1
It looks like a replica of the droid x2 spec wise
Here a pic in the about phone settings

Looks exactly like it!
Looking at it now it seems that this is just a renaming of the phone for smaller service providers.

Well here was to wishful thinking. Thanks for checking.
The phone wont work if he tries to update SBF with the droid x2s.. He wont be able to call n such.... The baseband will change and so will his PRLs....
The update.zip SHOULDN'T work on your device due to needed apk checks... you could try to edit it and remove the kernel flashes... that would be your best bet.
Well I'm hopefully meeting up with someone tomorrow before work who has the same phone and provider whose rooted..will post back with what I can
Sent from my Milestone X2 using XDA App
kool kool man... keep the REFs and Mods seperate till they become tested fully. They should ALL work because none of the mods so far flash the kernel, but still be careful because(TO MY KNOWLEDGE) we don't have a SBF for that phone. And It would suck balls if your baseband n stuff got flashed over.
Just post in the OPs that its for the Milestone x2 and one of the guys will index it for you in the stickies. Also, PM me when you get it rooted, and flash another rom. I need to see if something changes if you dont mind.
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.

Yes there is working ICS. You really need to go to droidhive.com or droidrzr.com for information. I don't know if you have CDMA but those sites have a lot more activity for CDMA phones. Plus you need to READ!

The pros of ICS?! Lots of pros. Cons are it is leaked and installing can be a pain if you don't have everything in order in case something goes wrong. That is why I said you need to read and do research to understand this phone and how flashing works.
