Okay I have searched and searched through these forums through and through and there is no possible way the root a Droid 2 Global. I have tried all the ways listed here Pete's way the One Click and the Superone Click and I tried Z4root and that didn't work either! Is there a new way to do this???(When I had my HTC Eris that was unrootable too.) I think Im gonna give up and on my next upgrade I'll probably just get an iPhone 4s or something, because any phone I touch will before outdated and unrootable and unable to flash any of the cool custom roms and play emulators and crap. I'll just an iPhone 4s and talk to siri.
Thanks anyway for all the help guys and thanks developer for all your hard work!!!

Z4root will NOT work on stock 2.3.3. I've been using a Droid 3 one click root tool for linux and it's been working without fail. I've noticed this tool also works on the regular D2. Z4root will only work with the original stock.
EDIT: As far as cool roms, I'm using MIUI ICS. You like ICS but don't want to spend 700 bucks for an off contract phone? That's right. Your D2G runs it just fine lol.
MIUI isn't really ICS. It's just bits and pieces of the framework.

What does the DROID3 One-Click Root script tell you? Any errors while you run it?

Nothing. Once it finds the phone and the rooting process begins it will say running expoit 1 of 3 (setting up symlink) and it will remain at the reboot screen forever!
my phone says:
Bootloader DO.11
Battery OK
OK to program
Transfer Mode:
USB
then nothing happens!
This time I got the "server not running" error!
Make sure your phone is set to PC mode with USB debugging on. I usually have to run the script twice. The first time it doesn't do anything. End it and start it again and it works for me every time.
Also, as far as MIUI ICS, it's technically android 2.3.7 but it's still ICS to me lol. It's enough like it to make me happy.

Have you tried pulling the battery without unplugging the phone from the PC and closing the script's window?
So that it boots normally and continues.

I'm gonna try that now! Standby...
Nope that didn't work! I didnt think was going to either!
I just tried the latest version of SuperOneClick and again with this screen on my phone:
my phone says:
Bootloader D0.11
Battery OK
OK to program
Transfer Mode:
USB
I'm starting to think somehow that this screen somehow not allowing me the further root my phone! With the SuperOneClick the program running and then immediately stopped responding!
Any ideas?
what is the latest version?
I thought you just need it in usb charge mode and have usb debugging on
edit: I don't see a SuperOneClick that works with GB

try petes with a different computer
HTML:
http://www.psouza4.com/Droid3/
1. Make sure you have Motorola drivers installed.
2. Download and unzip 'MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4'
3. On your phone: Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging(check box)
4. Plug phone into computer and select "Charge Only" mode
5. Navigate to 'MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4' folder and run 'MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe'
6. Now just follow the instructions in the command window and unlock the phone after each reboot.
For Windows XP users having trouble try this -> v7 .bat One Click
edit: are you trying to using a computer with usb 1.0?
if that doesn't work, maybe sbf
Hi,
i am definitely not an expert, in fact everything i know about android i learned from reading other people's threads but i managed to root my droid 2 global yesterday using superoneclick.
the first time i tried to run it the program froze up in the middle of the process and wouldn't do anything, including close. while i was trying to figure out how to fix i came across a post that said to start the program while usb debugging is off and then turn it on when it says waiting for device so i tried that and it actually worked. go figure.
i have no idea if it will work for you or not but i thought i would share in case you wanted to give it a try.

Hi,
Since ICS update I have been going insane with the speed of my phone, and today I saw my friends Desire HD running Jelly Bean and it was flying. So naturally I have spent the last 5 hours reading up on how to get it!
I'm an absolute noob with Android, this is my first android and I my other smart phones ran windows 5.5 and 6.5 so however buggy the new OS it can not beat them.
I am confused about a couple of things and I have found many many guides that go in circles. my HBOOTS 1.29
1. Do I need S-off or do I just need my device rooted?
I have found the following guides that seem the most effective:

3. It seems the best ROM is this:

Are there anything better?
I don't care about looks, I want the usual phone features, speed, GPS, better battery life and bluetooth connectivity to my external Pressure Variometer (I use it for Paragliding). I don't care about issues with Wifi!
Many Thanks and sorry for repeating previous posts at times
You have 2 options. 1.) S-OFF your device, following the guide you linked. It opens up the whole phone, so after that you can do whatever you would like to. (Recommended)
2.) Unlock your bootloader through HTCDEV.COM website. (If you choose this, you can still install custom roms, but are unable to flash firmware/radio. For more info how to install custom roms with s-on see HERE)
Flashing the newest firmware is "always" an extra. They all come with stability/performance/radio... enhancement. ICS firmwares are 3.32 or 3.33. Whichever you have installed on your device, you are good to go as all recent ICS and Jelly Bean roms are working under both firmware. Some of them recommend 3.33 but are still working on 3.32. As far as I know 3.33 comes with newer radio...?
Rom-wise... It is really up to you what you are looking for and what you expect from your phone. Have a look around in the development section, there are plenty of custom roms/kernel about, either it is aosp/cm or sense based roms. They are all excellent and come with amazing support.
Have fun and good luck! :good:
edit: Have a look HERE too for some more info!
S-on/off
Is it possible to install a ROM on the phone with S-on and on the new rom later turn S-off if required. As I mentioned I'm new so I want to do one step at a time.

in order to S-OFF you must have rooted stock rom

HTC Sync issue
Hi,
I have just tried to get started on the process of rooting from HTCDev however my phone is unable to connect to my PC. (not a great start I know )
I have installed HTC sync however it can not connect to my PC either. Would resetting my phone to factory settings sort the issue?
Many Thanks

Hi,
You do not need to do anything to your phone.
You need to have the correct drivers on your PC.
If you are on a windows 7 or 8 then use THESE DRIVERS
Did you restart your PC after installing HTCSync?

Make sure you are not using a USB hub or USB 3.0 connection.
Try different USB ports.(front and back)
Try a different PC/laptop.

Problem is not about htc sync or other software...Follow the steps...fastboot works even without adb or others..personally tried on senation and atrix..
1)Install drivers (naked)..check in device manager..it ll show htc device...
2)Download fastboot..and place it on any drive where u can access easily...file attached..
3)Set Path if already not...snap attached..
4)Trun off ur device and boot into hboot...select fastboot and it 'll show bootloader and other options...
5)attach ur device now...and start with start here.bat file..
6)if not worked..then run above file as admin or try to restart ur pc..

Great, thank you that seemed to have worked I'm going to now proceed with S-off and ROM installation. Will undoubtedly re-post again.
Just one more question, Do I need to delete/format the files off my SD card or not, I have backed up anything of value.
Also the network is not unlocked, would the network be unlocked with a new ROM?
A recent root exploit I published for Motorola devices, Motochopper, should do the trick for rooting the Qualcomm-based variants of the Samsung Galaxy S4, including the AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile branded models.
Download the exploit here:
http://vulnfactory.org/public/motochopper.zip
Instructions:
Extract the entire contents of the zip file.
If you are using Windows, ensure you have installed the latest Samsung USB drivers available for your phone.
Ensure USB Debugging mode is enabled on your device.
Connect your device to your PC via USB.
If you are using Windows, navigate to the extracted directory and execute "run.bat". If you are using Linux or OS X, navigate to the extracted directory in a terminal and execute "./run.sh".
Approve the ADB connection from your PC on your device.
Warning:
At this point, since there are no custom recoveries or stock images available, it may not be possible to repair your device should you accidentally break it. Please be aware of this before performing any modifications to your phone.
As always, future OTA updates may remove the ability to regain root access, so proceed with caution when updating. Enjoy!

Sorry about that, just needed to update the version of ADB I was including. It should work fine now. Try downloading a fresh copy from the same link and trying again.
I've updated the instructions to mention that you will need to approve the ADB connection from your PC on the device.

Hi guys. Recently I have this problem with my nexus 5 drivers, not all of them just the bootloader ones, I have tried a lot of times to completely uninstall them, the reinstall but in the end i get the same error. in device manager Code 10 this device cannot start.
I want to mention that i have Cataclysm ROM installed and also elementalx kernel, the fact that once i erased all my internal storage, and that I have watched a lot of tutorials but none of them worked.
EDIT:how do I add attachments?
EDIT2:i think its something wrong with the computer, cause i tried on another pc and it worked.

Bootloader = software that loads the OS as its main purpose
Fastboot = set of commands that can be executed while the phone is running the bootloader but has not loaded the OS yet.
As the title says, i cant manage to unlock the bootloader. My device is GM1910, i am running 9.5.10 GM21AA. i went to OB2 but then rolled back and decided i wanted to unlock and root, but for some reason i cannot. followed all the proper guides, tried the adb method, but when i type fastboot oem unlock, it just says waiting for device. I also tried the all-in-one tool and same problem, the moment i check for bootloader status, the application hangs. has anyone faced this issue before? could use some help. Thanks
Using the OP cable and tried on both USB 3 and 2

Sounds more like a USB connectivity issue, than a problem with the device. Try the command: fastboot devices
And if it just hangs, then you don't have USB fastboot connectivity.
To be clear, the phone is booted to bootloader-fastboot mode (which is required for fastboot commands)?
You need the latest windows 10 drivers, adb & fastboot. And off course Open Beta it's still young... meanning sh.. could happen.

Yes adb devices does register and adb reboot bootloader command does take me to the bootloader, but when i tried the fastboot devices it didnt register, so i think you are on to something. I will check again once i get home today. Thanks
I was on open beta, i reverted to 9.5.10 Pie in order to unlock bootloader and root.
If its not too much trouble, could you link me to the drivers (i would ask adb too but seeing as it works when i do adb devices command, i think thats working fine)? Thanks

Thanks. This was the version i was working with yesterday. Could you link me to the usb drivers i might need? Since response stops at fastboot i am assuming the drivers are to blame
One thing you can try, on Windows go to Device Manager, find the phone, and pick the option to update the drivers. Select the drivers manually (don't let Windows find the drivers automatically). Then the one called Generic Android Device (or something like that).
I sometimes have to do this, to get Windows to work with adb/fastboot.
This is all on my old Windows 7 machine. So if you have Win 10, it might be a bit different.

Thank you. You were right about the driver issue....going through the device manager yielded the driver situation. Had to enable debugging to finally let the driver install. I completely forgot about this. I had to do this same thing when i had to unlock bootloader and twrp for my HTC 10.
Now that i am done with this, a few final things i would like to clear out....doing the local update on root to restore stock system is still valid right? and if i want to go full stock from say custom roms like los and so on, a flash through MSM tool? Will doing that also relock the bootloader? Sorry for all the noob questions and thanks in advance.
Local upgrade works with/without root or twrp.
MSM tool revert youre phone like it's out of the factory. Bootloader locked, no root, no twrp.
If you come back to Oos from custom roms you need to Format Data (this will wipe ALL in youre phone. everything).
