Is it okay to use rageagainstthecage exploit to root my motorola droid on frk76 via superoneclick 1.7?
I realize this is the exploit used by the Droid Dream malware but would it be safe in this context? Also I assume there is a reason later versions of superoneclick do not have this option, is that because it is unsafe?
My final goal is to root my original Motorola Droid running Android 2.2.3 via superonclick then put cyanogenmod 7 onto it for my daily driver.

I have a Motorola Motoroi XT720 (South Korea) android.
Was running 2.1 and was able to root my phone using the Universal Androot "One-Click" app. Everything worked perfectly.
However, I just upgraded to 2.2 via Motorola's website and I can no longer root my phone.
Any ideas?
Please disregard...I guess Universal Androot doesnt work for my phone on 2.2, but I found a different program to root.
Please close or delete thread.
I recently upgraded my Samsung Intercept to Android 2.2.2 and now Z4Root is not working. I'll assume my carrier has blocked whatever method Z4 was using to get root access. This was by far the easiest and safest method I had found to temporarily root my phone. Am I out of luck or is development still going on for the application? Is there a safe method for rolling back the update to a previous version of android.
how did you upgrade to 2.2 after using z4root on 2.1.
apparently z4root changes some file permanently even after rebooting/unrooting that prevents installing the 2.2 update.
so how can i get 2.2 on my phone now?

I only used the temporary root for that very reason.
I was reading on another forum that if my phone is rooted and runs a carrier update it will brick my phone. True? How can this be prevented?

Hey if you're phone's already rooted and you simply install a carrier update I think it'll update the ROM and remove root access.
For example, if you have Froyo 2.2 and you have Root access, one you install an update with Gingerbread 2.3 you'll end up with your operator's official ROM and no way to run Visionary.
Did you root with a util such as Visionary? That just uses an exploit to get root access, however to take a leap forward you need to do Eng S Off and Radio S Off, following this you can then install some of the great custom ROMs which are out there.
Ya I used gingerbreak and using rom manager bricked my last phone. Not sure what Eng s off and radio s off means.

Just got a new phone, wanted to root it, didn't want it bricked.
I have the Java SDK and Android SDK ready to go. Downloaded Superoneclick.
Haven't seen any info about successful Huawei roots, so I just wanted to check and make sure it's safe.
Running Android 4.0.3 from WIND Mobile.
I've done this before with a Motorola XT720 running 2.1, never with a Huawei device or anything running ICS
Can I do this or will it brick my phone?
Thanks
Anybody???
I know there is a compatibility list with SuperOneClick and I don't want to brick my device.
I have the same question. Apparently our phone is quite the rarity and only 2 or 3 carriers in the world sell it.
I found the method:

Has anyone had the problem for the xoom just not rooting?
I've tried it with the AOI tool and the manual way...however when I download the root checker basic and check, it says device is not rooted.
I've had my fair share of fun with phones, but this is my first tablet root and its killing me that I can get this rooted.
