Help rooting DX2 - Motorola Droid X2

Hi guys,
Trying to root my DX2 and I'm not haveing any luck with the script tool posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818758 . The phone is running android 2.3.5 with system version 1.3.418. I followed the instructions to a "T", but nothing happens. The phone doesn't reboot or anything. Is there something I'm supposed to do before attempting to root, like unlock the bootloader or something?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

I used the self extracting file, just like in the video.
I bought the phone used so I'm not sure of its history. But as far as I can tell, it's completely stock and unrooted.
When I run the executable it just hangs after restarting the daemon. The phone doesn't do anything. I Even tried going into fastboot manually as suggested in the video. No luck what so ever.

install moto drivers manually
turn phone on
enable usb debugging (system/apps/developer options)
connect to pc
change usb mode to charge only or pc mode
if you did that, try toggling usb debugging off/on

Just started over fresh to make sure I didn't miss anything. Did a factory reset on the phone (erased all data on internal storage and sd card). Then I downloaded and installed the drivers (MotorolaDeviceManager_2.3.4.exe). Then I ran the self extracting file (DroidX2_Root_2012.exe). No dice. Same as before. The script stalls after restarting the daemon and phone does nothing. I even made sure I was using the stock Motorola cable to connect the phone to the computer.
Do I need to SBF to a different release, like 2.3.4?

Oh, btw, I made sure usb debugging was on....after toggling it on and off a few times. I also tried both charge only and pc mode for the USB connection.

also depends on what you are going to do rooted
if you are going to flash eclipse, flash 2.3.5 sbf, and retry root
if you are going to flash any other roms, use 2.3.4 sbf, and toot with pete's root tools, or moto fail, superoneclick......

Not exactly sure what rom I will end up with. I figured on starting with a MIUI rom as I've used them on a couple other devices. I'm familiar with them and pretty happy with the performance.
With that said, it looks like I should SBF to 2.3.4 and them try to root. Correct? Any other suggestions?

I would recommend MIUI 2.8.10 because it is running Ice Cream Sandwich ! MIUI4DX2 (the one running gingerbread has really huge problems when it comes to stability with games ! Anyways yes MIUI is beautiful but has some little bugs but as a daily driver i recommend it after you have flashed the ROM you should get Titanium Backup Pro and freeze a couple things but make sure you know what you are doing! I never use v6 supercharge because for some reason it makes my phone run slower :/
