oh yeah, I’m trying to root a Motorola Droid 2, v 2.3.3

Every time I get to step, “./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin”, I get kicked out as planned. When input “adb devices” it returns the device’s S/N but says it’s “offline” and I can’t access the phone until I reboot my phone. After I reboot my phone I re-access the adb shell but I still only receive the “$” vice “#”. I redo step, “./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin” but the same thing happens again. I can’t get past that. Out of curiosity, I moved on to step, “mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system” but as planned, the “operation is not permitted”. Can anyone help me?

I did this some time ago, but have been unable to figure out how to unroot the phone so I can apply the latest update – and now I get update pushes almost every day without the option to ignore them. Can you post instructions on how to unroot the phone if you rooted it with this method??? THANKS!

Here is my own version on how to Root Droid X. If you can’t get it to work, you might try doing the things that I tried.

I harmonize with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your coming updates. Saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the great lucidity in your writing.

There are a couple of spots where a space isn’t overly obvious unless you’re somewhat familiar with shell commands.

You are THE MAN (whether you're male or female)!! I hadn't known that you could do this from within the Droid X itself. Worked like a champ. For everyone who is stuck trying to get a # prompt after the execution of the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin, follow the link that coronelac referenced. Just be careful to follow the instructions exactly as indicated. There are a couple of spots where a space isn't overly obvious unless you're somewhat familiar with shell commands. For example, on the 'mount' command, there is a space before the final '/system'.

Once again, thank you for your debugging efforts and sharing the information you found.
