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give up and on my next upgrade I'll probably just get an iPhone 4s or something, because any phone I touch will before outdated and unrootable and unable to flash any of the cool custom roms and play emulators and crap.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.

Diced, mixed, or blended, it's still the best rom I've used

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.

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!

You seem to be having issues getting ADB to start. Is USB debugging mode enabled on the device? Have you installed USB drivers for this device on your PC? What operating system are you using?

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.

Yes! Thank you! I was going to wait until a viable root method came along before picking up my AT&T S4...now I don't have to wait at all.
By the way, you may want to start another thread in the AT&T S4 forums. People over there may not come to this forum all that often.
my turn tonight cant wait....

Wohooo worked for me! Thanks so much! Time to restore my Titanium Backups

If you actually read my post, assuming you DIDN'T, I DID this and it DOESN'T FULLY remove the root (still says rooted in restore boot menu, about phone, and download boot menu)
Flasher
I used the LG flasher (RD tool/uptestex) and it stops at 2% with type param error, then i tried the lg tool from THEIR website and it freezes it's DLing new software, in Firmware Update for all of these (+ button when booting) and I have triple checked I have all the drivers etc.
Anyone have a link or instructions on how to root, unlock the Bootloader, and install custom recovery on the Metro varient running stock 6.0? Been searching around and can only find 5.1 and down instructions. Cant afford to brick.
from what i am reading, you should be able to use the same method that they used to root the tmobile 6.0 update found here http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-root-t-mobile-6-0-update.1008880/
i havent tried it myself yet, so if you have the courage please report back and let us know how it goes
edit i couldnt wait anymore...i kdz'd back to stock and im trying to force the ota to come through...will post back with results when i get it and attempt to root
Thank you for this link. This worked beautifully. i was able to get into TWRP and do a full backup and install Super SU. Yes, I'm using MS631 with Android 6.0 and now I can say I'm successfully rooted. This made my day being able to root the Stylo after the upgrade.
Encase you're unsure on how to gain access to a command line through Windows hold down shift key and right click the file. Should see the option to open command line and from then on follow the steps.

That's right. That's what happened to me. The only ways to fix the problem is either by flashing a KDZ (with a computer), or send it to LG for repairs. Better safe than sorry.

nope. It happens to me too. I think you have to have Android SDK Tools installed on your PC alongside ADB for it to work, sadly

I did, it turns out, I had to install the appropriate drivers fro the Stylo MTP, then I had to install the appropriate ADB Drivers by updating to LGE Mobile ADB Drivers, then after that, I had to do "adb reboot-bootloader" and that booted it straight into the fastboot interface, but to no avail, I couldn't get fastboot to recognise the device, so I went into device manager, and I saw "(something)com bootloader interface", I expanded that, and saw Android Bootloader interface. So I updated the software, hit load from PC, and hit Android Bootloader Interface Version 9.0.0.0 instead of 11, and fastboot saw my phone

Back in the day when I first rooted this device on Marshmallow I just used this simple YouTube tutorial. Does it not work on 7.0?
EDIT: If not the same guy has a video for 7.0 as well, but it roots with Magisk(instead of SuperSU), which I personally don't like.

Some simple things you can try that I saw worked for others with this issue on XDA:
1) MAKE sure your Odin is up to date.
2) Try a different USB slot.
3) Try a different USB cord.
4) Some even had luck bypassing this issue by running Odin on a Windows Virtual Machine.
There are also many other threads like THIS out there on XDA that you can search for answers.

Don't root with odin. Install twrp recovery and flash the magisk or super user zip. If you can't flash anything you need to reinstall samsung usb drivers. And I don't mean auto install via Windows I mean download the exe manually. And get the right twrp. Google twrp and your device name. I've never had this issue
