Guys,
I would like to ask for help, the staff has more knowledge of the platform and the methods of root, flash, etc, to create this post to end the misunderstandings in relation to the Droid 2 and the process of root and flash ROM's.
I had other androids like quench, backflip, Galaxy S and never had so much difficulty in getting success necesse process.
Would you please help create a topic, explaining step by step how to root the 4.5.629 version, and how to install the bootloader on a phone that does not have ROMMananger and have gone through other procedures. For me and other people who are having trouble understanding the steps to upgrade their phones to CM9, or other versions.
I already searched on other forums and even here on xda, but the downgrade process, among others, are not always the details that give no security risk to me and many attempt the procedure. Since many end up losing cellular processes for doing it wrong and failing to reverse them.
In my country a droid 2 costs about $ 500, a galaxy s3 around $ 1000. So I would be very grateful if you could help extend the maximum functionality from this device.
Thank you for your patience guys

There is no totally risk free method of obtaining root, but there are methods now that allow you to root without bricking the phone.
In my signature you will find a link to an EzSbf style recovery and root CD, as well as a root only CD. I can give you no guarantees, but you can read what others have said, and make an educated decision. The link in my signature is to a post that originally had the previous method (required bricking), so many of the responders in that thread are referring to that previous method. However, on rootzwiki I posted basically the same CD, and all the responses are about the new method. That thread is at

The thread on xda is in my signature.
Hope this answers some of your questions.

It is not possible to install a custom kernel on the D2G (nor most other Motorola devices). Its bootloader will only allow the use of kernels that have been cryptographically signed with Motorola's private key.
There are a number of tweakable CPU governors available, see for example http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10911-co...e-interactivex-and-smartass-v2-cpu-governors/
I don't know if overclocking above 1.2 GHz is possible, but with a decent ROM it really isn't needed anyway (we would get a bigger performance improvement from more RAM).
I recently bought a Moto X Pure from an XDA Member which should be here at the beginning of next week.
I used to own a GS5 which as you know is pretty locked down. Locked bootloader, hard to root, if you updated you're screwed, ect. So! I've been out of the rooting game for a while now and only really dipped my toes in to begin with.
My question is, can anyone explain the basics and benefits of a rooted device? Specifically, Xposed Framework/Modules, Root detection with Android Pay, and maybe some things that i've gotta try out with a fully unlocked android device. I plan to install an AOSP ROM but im gonna try out stock Moto X first and see how i like it.
Another short question I have regarding Android Pay, i've heard that some root techniques make Android Pay not work, some are fine, some custom ROMs wont work, AOSP roms will, can somebody clarify all this for me?
Thanks guys, you're always helpful. Glad to be back.

Hello,
Please post your query here Ask any Query Newbie Friendly with all relevant details, the experts there maybe able to assist you.

Got stuck with a bunch of these and I need root them to make them useful. They are running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
I primarily need to hide the SystemUI on these devices, so if we can do this without root, then I can work with that, although not the best. I have tried KingRoot and KingoRoot. Both of which fail. I don't like them anyway because you get stuck with something other than SuperSU which is far superior.
I will pay the first person who PMs me a solution $200 via PayPal.
Thanks,

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately we don't do bounty threads or anything like that here, if kingroot/framroot etc isn't an option you could try this

Good evening everyone sirs of this fine forum!
So, after a couple of year with iXXXXe (wasn't my choice), I'm now back to Android.
I just bought an Honor 6x, after months of reading online.
I haven't really started to use it yet, that's because I'm a little paranoid.
As you can see in my signature below, I used to have a MOTO G really boosted up, almost reaching perfection.
I like to be in control of everything in my phone before starting to use it.
Here come my questions:
- i installed BETA app by Honor, but at the moment I can't try Nougat, you know why?
- is it useful to unlock the bootloader and root this phone? I've read there are not many ROMS at the moment. What do you think? What would I achieve unlocking the bootloader and rooting?
- Xposed framework and Gravity app are still up? Are they working with my device?
- I really like to have a "clean" phone, like stock: no preinstalled apps, no fancy UI, just the basic. What would you suggest me to do?
- In the end, all said: should I use this Honor "out of the box", or is it worth to spend some time messing with it?
I really looking forward your answers, mates!
Sorry, but I've been outside the world for the past 2 years, I feel like I lost some things in the way.
Bye <3

I think at this moment its better to use it out of the box as u can uninstall and deactivate all apps u dont need. With root you will not get much new roms and features but only root useful apps such as ad blocker and such.
I would recommend to use it out if the box too, I had installed the nougat update and rooted it for AdAway but now I am back on the latest official update without root and it works fine although I miss my ad blocker

Thank you for your reply.
So for the moment I'm keeping it stock. I'm still on MM, waiting to upgrade to Nougat as soon as I can.
@MadMurl0c , why did you go back to official? What about rooting after upgrading to N and using ad blocker with the latest official?
I tried to install Viper4Android but i accidently deleted audio_effects.conf so I decided to go back to stock rom and wait until huawei releases the official Android 7 build. (Another reason was the Bootloader unlocked warning on boot) AdAway worked fine but I don't have anything else about stock to complain about. The only thing that annoys me is that you can't delete system apps without root but you can atleast disable most of them. I hope that answered your Question

For adaway no root substitute -
Adguard.
Well.. I own a Galaxy j4 model sm-j400m and I have been doing research before going to mod it and root. Some days ago Samsung posted via the Samsung members app that they will release Android Pie for this device on July. So the question is...
What will happen with the recovery? What about root access?
Should I keep the original rom with no root and update to pie and then root?
Also I request a complete guide introducing this device and how to root and get TWRP. Yes I know that there are some other posts about.. but I want one explaining everything noob-proof. I'm still learning about this device. Same with Android Oreo. It's not easy for me to adapt to this new system version since I just switched from lollipop.
Please reply if you can. I just want to research everything and allow this post to be useful for everyone who has the same device.

Unless the security features will be updated in any way, I would think we'd be fine. After all, it's just a new operating environment and should have no affect on custom recoveries and the like. However, a) no one can guarantee anything until it actually comes around, and b) I'm pretty sure that if you upgraded, unless you had any persistence at all, you'd need to re-root.
Your best bet would be to just stick with 8.1 for a while until we get the green-light that everything works on Android Pie.
As for the noob's guide, I'll try my best to write on (the Chicken's way!).

Well... I think the same of sticking for a while with Oreo since I don't even have been using for more than a few days. So I'm still new to it. I still have to learn a lot. I want to understand this system before moving to another and also let's wait til pie becomes more mature. I'm not a fan of upgrading fast. I prefer update when everything works. So let's say that I'll keep on Oreo ... Let me root first hdhdhs...
Later.. like end of the year or maybe the next I would consider upgrading to pie.
About the guide... Well.. it would be handy to have some help.. I think this thread needs and deserves a noob-proof guide for rooting and everything that's has to be known.
