Droid x root on gingerbread(2.3.3)


1. If you don’t already have them installed, download and install the Motorola usb drivers HERE.
2. Download Pete’s Motorola Root Tool HERE. It’s a zip file so you will have to extract it to a folder.
3. Your phone needs to have USB debugging enabled. So, go to Settings-Applications-Development, and check the box for “USB debugging”.
4. Connect your phone to your computer with usb cable and choose the “Charge Only” mode.
5. Navigate to the “Pete’s Motorola Root Tool.exe” file that you downloaded and extract earlier, and double click on it to open the one click root tool.
6. Press the button to root or unroot your phone and follow the onscreen instructions. Your phone will automatically reboot a few times during the procedure and then it will be done.

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

If you have trouble with the above method, try this one.
This one click method will root your phone that has a Froyo or Gingerbread ROM. It must be run on your computer and should work on any version of Windows. Again, this is for Windows ONLY.

1. If you don’t already have them installed, download and install the motorola usb drivers HERE.
2. Download the Droid 3 Easy Root Script HERE. It’s a zip file so you will have to extract it to a folder. (Dont worry about it saying Droid 3. It works on all Moto phones.)
3. Your phone needs to have USB debugging enabled. So, go to Settings-Applications-Development, and check the box for “USB debugging”.
4. Connect your phone to your computer with usb cable and choose the “Charge Only” mode.
5. Navigate to the Droid 3 Easy Root Script folder that you downloaded and extract earlier, and double click on the “Click to root your DROID 3.bat” file to open the one click root tool.
6. Follow the onscreen instruction. Your phone will automatically reboot a few times during the procedure and then it will be done.

PLEASE READ THIS!

-If your phone reboots to bootloader after the root method has rebooted your phone to continue the root process, simply unplug the phone, reboot the phone, then when the boot animation comes back up, plug the phone back in. Rinse and repeat for the amount of times the root process needs to root your phone.
