NEW GUI ROOT METHOD!



Froyo GUI Root ~ Sil3ntKi11



This is a GUI program to root/unroot your DroidX phone. No Android SDK install required. All drivers are installed if needed.

Just two buttons, ROOT and UNROOT! Follow the instructions on the screen and you'll be rooted in a matter of seconds!



MAKE SURE YOU HAVE USB DEBUGGING ENABLED UNDER System > Applications > Development ON YOUR PHONE!

EDIT: If it doesn't root and you are turning Bluetooth on and off, try turning WiFi on/off instead!



Microsoft Windows only. You need the .NET 3.5 Framework but Vista and Windows 7 already come with the framework.

Enjoy!



YOU MUST EXTRACT ALL OF THE FOLDERS, ETC. THEN RUN! OTHERWISE IT WON'T WORK.

RIGHT CLICK AND RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR



Edit: Windows XP, Mac OSX and Ubuntu Linux Support Coming Soon



Edit: MediaFire link for those w/o an account. (edit by rainabba: we've opened downloads to guests!)



Edit: Still give props to Birdman and the rest of the community. This is simply putting their work (with some modifications to exploid) to use.

Edit: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. Please use at your own risk.

At the moment, rootshell is left on the device for easy unrooting. It is modified so that only my program may use it, however, if someone does

figure out away around using rootshell, I am not held responsible. This feature will be replaced with using su in the next release!



Edit:

Warning: Apparently if some /system/app .apks are missing when you try to update, the update will fail. Please do not remove /system/app .apk

unless you have backed your phone up (I made this mistake with the original root =[ haha). Next version will automatically backup for /system/app folder to your /sdcard/. I'll try to post a working backup folder for those who didn't back it up.

Screeny:

It's rooted anfter using this method thank you !! But i cna't open any rooted apps i'm getting superpermission denied....Anyone....

I ran the app agaim it's running perfectly!!

'Blackra1n' for android...brilliant. =D Move over geofail.

It's so weird, I didn't toggle anything the first time I rooted my X (through ADB) and it rooted fine, I thought it was a joke.

This is not working for me either, I'm going to try the longer method later. I just got my X in the mail today it has 604 preloaded on it. Tried on WinXP and Vista.

When I connect the droid to the computer it asks me to find drivers, I tried manually installing the ADB Composite driver, but still didn't work.

Wow, this is amazing. Now I just need my shiny new X to arrive in the mail so I can do this! 



Thanks a  million!

I did extract it. no go. running XP.

Try WiFi instead. Edit: And you should be in PC Mode on your DroidX. That doesn't matter. I lied haha.

Will unrooting with this program work if you used the long method to root in the first-place?

Sort of. I know this will sound weird, but if you re-root your phone with this program (nothing will be affected), then yes you can un-root. So just re-root it using this method and then un-root it. A little quirk but it works. I will add that functionality automatically in next release.

Are you using Windows XP? And that's great. Sorry I am still working out the bugs.

Yep, using XP SP3. :)
