Manual Root
[edit] Download
psneuter: Download
Superuser: Download
busybox: Download
Unzip the downloaded files into the same folder
Open a terminal and change to the folder.
You need the android SDK and ADB working. To make sure type:
adb devices
if your device lists, then you are ready to go!
[edit] Gain Root
Run the following commands:
adb push psneuter /data/local/temp/psneuter
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/temp/psneuter
./data/local/temp/psneuter
ADB should hang, wait a little while and then type:
adb shell
NOTE: You should have the "#" sign instead of the "$". If you do, you have temporary root, and can continue on.
Type:
exit
adb push busybox /data/local/temp/busybox
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/temp/busybox
./data/local/temp/busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
The last command should return nothing

update i learned how to do the procedure and finished sucesfully however the phone is still not rooted. i did reboot the phone after it seems faster now but not rooted.i downloaded the root checker app and scaned the phone it emailed me a log and here is that log

is it even posible to root this phone?

i guess im not allowed to be helped or somthing.

i have a procedure here that i had to build up from 2 seperate write ups. i had to use this one http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...oid-without-rsd-lite-up-including-frg83d.html along with this one together http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Motorola_Flipside to get it to root properly.
here is what i did. u will need the downloads from both links for this to work i beleive. follow the steps from the second link to gain root once u get to where the number simbole is shown in the command line u need to switch to the instructions in link 1 and start at step 13 and follow to the end. this works to root your flipside when nothing els will work at least for me it did none of the apps that are suposed to root for you worked for me.
thank you me for having to figure this out on my own have fun

Problem rooting
I rooted my Flipside at its stock state and it worked fine. And then I upgraded my software to 2.2.2 Froyo and lost the root so now I am trying to reinstall z4root and re-root the phone but z4root now doesn't work. It gets successfully installed but when I hit PERMANENT ROOT it just stays in that window with the turning wheel and gets stuck there. It doesn't completely root. I've tried the hard reset by pulling the battery, and hitting the back key and forced closing it and then trying it again. Nothing works! HELP!

I once had a flipside. I rooted it the stock rom and then updated to gingerbread and then rooted again. I used superoneclick though. I'm not sure which version, but there is (or was) a flipside forum here on xda with documentation on the entire process.

Really? I thought the only upgrade I can do to it is from stock to Froyo. How'd you do that? I'm sorry. I am totally untechie. :/

What am I doing wrong? USB Debugging is on and the phone is set to charge only all the correct files are where they need to be?

What Android Version were you on when you began the process? Also what method did you use to start the Downgrade process?

It actually worked I pulled battery restarted the computer changed ports this was the old method in adb

Hi guys, I'm in Turkey and my friend went to USA 4 months ago. He promise bought me a HTC One X, when he bought my htc one x in amazon, amazon sent my friend a AT&T One X. This is not intentionally, and we sent message to amazon. And they sent me network pin to unlock my network. And I want to root, unlock bootloader, super cid . But I can't make this at the moment. I installed over and over htc drivers, and opened usb debugging mode, and opened root exploid. but this exploid says:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
DON'T TOUCH THE DEVICE OR UNPLUG WHILE ROOTING!

You need to figure out what hboot and firmware version you're on first. Different root methods for each.
Check your Settings>About>Software information and see what it says under Android version and Software number.
Then reboot to bootloader and see what it says next to HBOOT.

Can you post a link to the exploit you are using?

I think you're using the wrong exploit. You need this one:

[Q] Have I bricked the thing?

So I went to replace libaudioflinger.so in /system/lib with one I'd built myself, but unfortunately something obviously went wrong and when I rebooted the device, it just hangs on the loading screen.
The good thing is that the original file is in /sdcard named '_libaudioflinger.so_', and I can connect via adb there. If i run 'su' which gives me some sort of root access, but when I try 'mount -o remount rw /system', it shows up as "Operation not permitted". If I'm able to get that filesystem mounted, I just need to run "mv /sdcard/_libaudioflinger.so_ /system/lib/libaudioflinger.so", anybody any ideas how I might be able to recover this?

Hopped on #android-root and they got me all sorted. Basically just had some sort of a bad root/su which wasn't giving me the correct access. All back up and running 100% now, though.

If it boots into the bootloader you can always flash the factory image
