If its on froyo you can root with z4 if you on the OTA for gingerbread there is not one click root yet. Use Droid 2 bootstrap it works on froyo and gingerbread where as Droid x bootstrap only works on froyo

Ok, I need to stop you right there. I've seen TONS of people post wrong information on the whole Droid 2 / Droid X bootstrap and what works with what, so don't feel singled out.
Droid X bootstrap works perfectly fine on GB. You just need to disable USB Debugging in Settings first. If you don't, it won't boot into recovery. Droid 2 bootstrap works as well, but if he already has Droid X bootstrap, there's no reason to make him search for Droid 2.

Why, oh why, would you want your recovery to be crippled in any way when you could replace it in 2.2 seconds? http://www.mediafire.com/?g8l7vy0futbc4g5
@op
If on Froyo:
-Start at step two of GB instructions
If on GB:
-SBF back to Froyo (google)
-Root with really any method, nothing special
-Install d2 bootstrapper as I posted above
-Install rooted OTA from TeamBlackHat aka mydroidworld.com
-???
-profit

Crippled? Your recovery isn't crippled in any way whatsoever if you use DX bootstrap. What are you talking about??
People can use whatever they want, I don't care, just hate to see wrong information spread around.

Ok
So I am gonna have to root the old school way, she is on gb. I am mainly looking to get rid of all the bull**** bloatcrap that Verizon loads, she doesn't care about custom roms. She actually likes the new blur. (whatever floats her boat).

You can also sbf back to froyo, use z4 root, then flah a pre-rooted gb leak. Personally that's what I would do

There is no way to root the OTA GB.

So there is no way to root the gingerbread ota update?

Google the Droid 3 root method. It is very straightforward and also works on the stock OTA .602 Droid X build.

need help for friend with a droid cliq

Trying to find the sbf file and the a one click root for a droid cliq on tmobile. Having touble finding the files. Seem like I need to get rsdlite 4.6 but cant find the sbf files for a droid cliq. Also heard of a couple of root programs but not sure they will work on his phone. I believe it is a droid cliq running 2.1 update 1. Not sure, just trying to help him root it. But I don't want to brick his phone.
Thanks

I don't know any specifics about the Cliq; however, Pete's website says that his Pete's Motorola Root Tools works on the Cliq.
A thread for Pete's Motorola Root Tools can be found here in the Droid X General forum.

[Q] Motorola Milestone x root- help please

Hey guys. I'm currently using a Motorola milestone x (debranded droid x) on a small CDMA network called Appalachian wireless. Its been a decent phone, but its a little outdated and as a result it's been having some performance anxiety as of late- namely a lack of available ram. I would love to be able to root the phone and help alleviate some of these issues, as well as adding an upgraded custom rom. Here are my phone specs:
SYSTEM VERSION: 4.5.604.MB809.ACG.en.US
ANDROID VERSION: 2.3.5
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.32.9-geadffa3
[email protected]#1
BUILD NUMBER: 4.5.1_57_MX2-34
ERI VERSION: 5
PRL VERSION: 10032
I'm Relatively new into the smartphone scene, and this is my first dive into the world of rooting, so please take nothing for granted. A step by step tutorial is what I need, and I haven't found one of those for the milestone x, so I figured I'd sign up and all for help. Tracks in advance for any help you can provide me.

I can't give you a step-by-step, but since you are already on system version .604, all you have to do it use the Zergrush v4 method (which can be found via a Google search).

Cool.. Is this zergrush a superoneclick root? And it won't disrupt my 3G coverage or anything? I read online where some users on the small regional carriers lost they're data coverage after rooting... Also, I read somewhere about how people who were rooting bricked their phone because of tripping some efuse that motorola had added through the 2.3.5 OTA update. This won't be an issue either?

So I was researching that zergrush method, and it talking about using an nTelos sbf file. Woul d I have to flash this sbf to root, and of so would it negatively affect my phone?
Sorry if this is a dumb question. Like I said, I'm totally new at this.

You wont have to flash any SBF files. Users not on .604 must flash the SBF file; however, since you are already on .604 you do not.
So just root with zergrush =D

Awesome!! Thanks a lot!!
Any suggestions on a custom rom?

I was stuck on 621 and sbf'd to 604 and I find that the best compatible rom is vortex rc1 because of its battery life and fastness also if your going to get any ROM for 604 you should get it from rootzwiki there's a thread that has multiple 604 compatible roms because not all ROM's are compatible

Thanks! I actually found it last night after doing a little more digging. Lol... At this point I'm just trying to find a way past this stupid pop up ad blocking the download screen on mediafire. First ad I've ever seen that you can't x out... Oh well. Thanks again. As for installing this rom, can I just do it from bootstrap/cwm recovery?

And is vortex a 2nd-init rom that I would have to sbf to get back from? Because I currently have no sbf available from my carrier.

Yea just bootstrap install zip from SD and then factory reset/clear cache
