One Click Root Version for Linux and Works for Mac, too!
This is still a work in progress! Gonna call it 3.3 (I went through 3 previous versions). It takes the 2.2.1 version and adds a user interface. Nice, easy, clean. In order to run this script, you need to chmod (change permission) of the .sh file, and then execute it.
Download the file here: http://kimete.com/droid/beta/dorootv3.sh
It is good for both Linux and Mac. All you have to do is execute it and the script will download all the appropriate files for you!
How to run this in Ubuntu/Linux
How-to video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvlB3e_UE8I
Note: General idea. You no longer need to update android-sdk, though.
1. Download the file.
2. Right-click the file, choose properties, choose the permission tab, and check executing file as program, close window
3. Double-click the file, choose Run in Terminal, and it'll start.
4. Choose 1 for install and root. Choose 2 for root process only. Only good if you've rooted using this method before, or you need to reroot your phone. Choose 3 to unroot. Choose 4 for credits/donation information. Choose 5 to exit. Choosing other numbers...
How-to for Mac
How-to video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7s8dtfYyHI
Note: General idea. You no longer need to download and install android-sdk anymore.
1. Download dorootv3.sh. Best to put it on your desktop.
2. Open a terminal. Go to the magnifying glass and type in terminal, and then select it.
3. Next, you need to change permissions. Type in the terminal chmod 0755 followed with a single space. Then drag the dorootv3.sh into terminal.
You should see something like this chmod 0755 /user/(file path)/dorootv3.sh. Press enter.
4. Now run your file by dragging the file into the terminal again and pressing enter!
5. Now choose and option...
New version of rooting for Linux and Mac! Version 2.2.1!
Linux 2.2.1: http://www.kimete.com/droid/beta/DoRootLinux_221.zip
Mac 2.2.1: http://www.kimete.com/droid/beta/DoRootMac_221.zip
General Instructions:
1. Extract the files.
2. Change the permissions on the doroot.sh file
3. Run doroot.sh file.
Instructions for Linux and Mac
1. Extract the respective files to somewhere accessible. Your home directory or desktop is idea. The file comes in a .zip file. Just open it up and drag and drop the DoRootMac or DoRootLinux folder.
2. Make sure you phone is in PC Mode with USB Debugging enabled
PC Mode: Notification blind -> USB connection -> PC Mode
USB Debugging: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging
You need USB debugging icon showing in notifications. Try Charge Only if you can't get PC Mode to show USB debugging.
3. Navigate to the folder in terminal.
example: [cd /DoRootMac or cd /DoRootLinux]
4. enter [chmod 0755 doroot.sh] then run it [./doroot.sh]
5. Let it run.
6. That's it, you are done.
One Click Root for Windows
Here's the Windows version. Facelessuser pushed this through and worked his magic. Give it a try. Very exciting stuff. I haven't used it yet, but according to him, it should work!
Download here, Ver. 2.1.4:
http://www.kimete.com/droid/beta/DoRootWin_2.1.4.zip
Instruction for Windows:
How-to video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7RGVikpQ8o
1. Extract the folder from the DORoot zip file to your desktop. You should be moving 7 or 8 files into the tools folder.
2. Install Motorola Drivers
(Tip, to stop the launching of the Verizon/Motorola site, go to the MotoConnect icon in the bottom righ, right click, when phone connects, nothing.)
3. Make sure you phone is in PC Mode with USB Debugging enabled
PC Mode: Notification blind -> USB connection -> PC Mode
USB Debugging: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging
You need USB debugging icon showing in notifications. Try Charge Only if you can't get PC Mode to show USB debugging.
4. Double-click and run doroot.bat
5. Let it run.
6. That's it, you are done.
Motorola Drivers (if you are using Windows) which can be found here:

Many thanks to facelessuser for working his magic!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my anti-virus tell me that the files contain Trojan's?
The files are exploits and hack your phone. Don't worry, they are clean. However, to be safe, do not download from any other source than the ones linked in this post.
I've gotten countless hate mail and comments on Youtube users about rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin being detected as a trojan. It is an EXPLOIT. If you are scared that the files I hosted are going to give your computer a virus. Look else where, like Z4Root, though, my understanding is that Z4Root also uses rage.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853704
What is do these files/programs/scripts do?
These scripts will root your Droid 2 or Droid X phone with the least amount of user input as possible.
Why should we use this method and not another method?
All the methods are based off the same process/procedure. If you feel like doing MORE work, we can't stop you. The reason why we wrote all these scripts is to expedite the process, make the procedure easier, and to reduce human input which reduces the chance of human error.
Is there anything I need to know in order to successfully root my phone?
Yes. READ THE DIRECTIONS. Read the directions first. A lot of people make errors because they don't read the directions. I've also provided links to my video and another video which outlines the root process. Both are only a few minutes long.
Root failed! What do I do?
Run the script again! Most people succeed on the first or second try. Usually the rest by the third try.
Do I have to install Android SDK and update it?
It depends. The new Linux/Mac version does not require you to. The windows one, we are still working on.
Does this work on other phones?
I can't answer that. I know it works for Droid 2 and Droid X.
Wait a minute, this isn't really one-click! What's the deal?
Deal with it. Don't like it, try the 25+ step process.
When I open up the Superuser app, I get a blank screen.
That is NORMAL. Superuser lists the processes/applications that you've allowed superuser access to. If you haven't allowed anything, then it will be blank.
How do I test if I have root or not?
Try downloading an app like Wireless Tether (published by Google), and running it.
What USB connection mode do I set my phone to?
PC Mode or Charge Only. Choose the one that comes up with USB Debugging.
I am not very good with computers. Is this something I can do?
Oh yes! The key to success is following the directions.
How do I update Android SDK?
On Windows, you just need to double click the SDK Manager.exe. On Linux/Mac, you need to go into terminal, navigate to the tools folder in the android sdk folder, and run this command ./android update sdk. More information can be found in the SDK Readme text file. On Windows, double-click and run the SDK Manager.
I am getting stuck at the "daemon not found/daemon is starting" part. What do I do?
You need to fumble with the settings on your phone. You don't need to close the terminal. Change between PC Mode and Charge Only mode until it starts to continue. If that still doesn't work, also try disabling then enabling USB debugging for each mode.

Reporting an Error or a Problem
You can report errors right here in this thread. Make sure you give us as much information as possible. List what operating system you are on, what phone you have, at what part of the script you had errors, and anything else you may have tried or done. The more information you provide us, the better we understand situations. Posting up pics or logs of the terminal is extremely helpful.

Appreciate my work and/or help, feel free to send donations my way! Poor college student here who just got a speeding ticket! Doh!

This is outdated information and should be used as a reference only! All updated versions have moved to POST #1.
Hi all. Made it to the front page of XDA Developers.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/easy-rooting-method-for-droid-2/
I just want to make sure credit is given where due. First of all, the original procedure was produced Sebastian Krahmer. From there I wrote an indepth tutorial to root the Droid 2. I took a vague instruction set and help it grown into something that the average person could understand. Understanding the need to simplify the process, I decided to write scripts to further streamline the process. What started out as a 3 part script that involved 8 or 9 commands eventually became a two part script that involved 3 or 4 commands. I have no programming background, by the way. Having trouble getting the process down into one part, facelessuser volunteered to take my work, and put a bunch of neat things into it to get it to work as one thing with error checking! So, with that said, I'd like to thank everyone that had a part in the project, especially facelessuser for his dark magic arts that made the script run, matt4542 for constantly testing my various scripts, and everyone who directly or indirectly ran the scripts!
We are moving forward!
===
Hi all.
We (me), facelessuser, and a few others are working furiously to get an easy one step program out for you guys. In the mean-time, I have a pretty safe, and clean, and easy 2 step method for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I am still cleaning stuff up, but for the most part, it all runs well.
What you need:
Android-SDK for your operating system which can be found here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Motorola Drivers (if you are using Windows) which can be found here:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers

Hey Thanks alot for writing this! I just tried it out and ran until completion.
A few things I found.
In the dos prompt, part2 the program asks user to input a few commands. Commands 2 and 3 should end in .sh. The program dosent mention this.
Thanks again

Typo in the 3rd step. You forgot to add '.sh'.

Everytime i type: $ ./doroot2.sh

thank for the help!

The " ./ " before doroot.sh tells linux to look in the current directory for the file to run. Make sure you in the tools directory of the sdk and that the script is there as well.

I am working on it. Hahaha. I don't have any programming background. So I am learning on the fly, but progress is being made.
Though, I have to say that the process is much much much easier than what it originally began as. So... moving in the right direction.

I'm not much of a programmer. I'm on Windows. Do I need to chmod the files, and if so, how would I do that?

Just follow the instructions. Launch the doroot1.bat file. The .bat file will launch you into ADB shell. chmod the doroot2.sh file, then run it. adb shell again. chmod the doroot3.sh file and run that. Hope that helps. I am on google talk if you need help.

I'm stuck on the second step. Attempting to contact you through Google Talk...
Thanks, by the way.

You are okay. Superuser lists the program you've allowed superuser access to. You haven't given any apps access, therefore blank!

How to Install Apps to the SD Card by Default on Android Phones

There are certain tricks to regain a couple of MB here and there, like clearing the cache that some applications use, but for those with a taste for apps and games, the phone storage limitation has been quite a nuisance. Android users with root access have been able to enjoy the Apps2SD utility, but getting it to work is a comparatively complicated process. Frozen yogurt to the rescue!
To install an app to the SD card on Android, the application itself needs to support it. In my experience though, most current apps can be moved to the external storage. However, the system installs all new applications on your device’s internal memory by default, except for those that explicitly request external installation. Luckily, it’s possible to make your Android 2.2+ phone put apps on the SD card by default instead. Here’s how:
1. First you have to enable USB debugging on your Android device from Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.
2. Now you need to download and install the Android SDK on your computer from the attached file. Once you’ve downloaded and extracted the package to the folder of your choice, run SDK Setup.exe and click on Available Packages to the left. If you get an error message at this point, enable “Force http: in the Settings. From the list of available packages, select “Usb Driver package”, click on the Install Selected button in the bottom right corner and follow the prompts.
3. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB-cable. Your OS will prompt you to install new drivers. Choose to install them from the android-sdk/usb_driver folder. Do not mount your device; you only need to plug-in the cable.
4. Next, run a command prompt and navigate to the Android-SDK\tools folder. In Windows, this is done by selecting Run from the Start Menu (or by pressing Win+R) and typing cmd. You change drives in the command prompt by entering the drive letter followed by a colon ), and change folders with the CD command. For example, to enter the Android-SDK folder, simply type cd android-sdk.
5. In the Android-SDK\tools folder, type in adb devices and you should get a serial number starting with “H” in return. All you have to do next is entering adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2. You’re done! Android will now install apps to the SD card by default.
6. To switch back to storing software on the internal memory, enter adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0.

hello,
you can push and pull by adb command, to transfer files i believe you need root permission.

Hello,
no need for root.
do on PC:
1) install adb driver: http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
2) install adb tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...tool-android-wear-apk-tools-sideload-t2929177
Make sure adb tool is in same folder as adb (c:\adb\ )
Do on watch
3) preferences >> system >> info >> build number - press 10x to enable developer options
4) developer options >> enable ADB debugging
Now connect the watch to the PC and start the tool. It should be able to connect to the watch and you can install apk's with the tool.
Unfortunately it doesnt work for all apps, just try out.
I installed: simple radio, rpi automation, volume manager, floating toucher.
Hope it helps
regards
reiko

and where are the apk`s for the huawei watch 2

Which apk's do you mean?
You can install any apk...no dedicated huawei watch 2 ones.
The adb tool let you select the apk from any location/folder.
Just try it.
Does this answer your question?

Thanks!
Where do I get the ADB tool from? Do I need to download the full android studio? Do I then need to put the adb.exe into c:\adb\? I've used this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269#post42407269 and put the adb.exe under c:\adb\, but it doesn't work.. The command adb doesn't work btw.
Thanks again!

Hello,
no need for android studio.
downloads tool + adb driver -> see my post "do on PC".

Obviously my adb driver must already on the watch ...so I did what you referred - but when I click connect to the watch nnothing happens - on the other side the PC is showing LEO ...the watch ....

Ok now I copied the adb driver in c:/adb but still the same result: watch is connected but the apk tool says you must first connect the watch ....

Pls see attached the log file

nothing to complain about the tool, but if is just to install apk, adb install is really very easy. if you need to delete apk, you can do directly by watch....

Unfortunately it doesnt work for all apps, just try out.
I installed: simple radio, rpi automation, volume manager, floating toucher.
Hope it helps
regards
reiko

looking for some ideas for programs to install -that can run as standalone programs as i'm using as LTE device at moment

This worked for me.

Ok....new to the smartwatch ROM flashing scene...NOOB alert...lol. How exactly do you 'connect' your smartwatch to a PC? USB cable from charge base to PC and the watch just sits on the wireless stand? That's it?

I'm not rooted, can use adb Wi-Fi though, to even sideload apk files which I have.
For ordinary file transfer, installing the app NavExplorer on both the watch and phone makes file transfer easy. If I remember, long press on files on watch for command options.

how to run an app on a tablet which only opens Settings?

On an Asus Zenpad 3s 10 Z500KL tablet, RU Unistaller Pro has been wrongly used to freeze an app named "ZenUI Launcher". After restart, only notification bar and Settings work. I need to run RU Unistaller Pro to defrost "ZenUI Launcher".
How can I run RU Unistaller Pro in this situation (via ADB, or any other solution)?
Or if you have any other solution, please guide me.
Sincere thanks in advance

In the tablet, when I click on “View in Google Play Store”, Google Play page opens but in a normal web page not in mobile mode. I searched for RU Uninstaller. It was found. How should I "start" it from there?

In the tablet, when I click on “View in Google Play Store”, Google Play page opens but in a normal web page not in mobile mode. I searched for RU Uninstaller. It was found. There is an "OPEN IN PLAY STORE APP" at the bottom of the page. When I click on it, another page opens (https://goo.gl/app...) and says: "404. That's an error. The requested URL was not found on this server. That's all we know."
So, how should I "start" it from there?

Maybe try googling like the google app on your browser, then it might open Google Play store without issues.

You can also use a terminal emulator app or the terminal emulator that is built into TWRP to run adb shell commands(adb shell, not regular adb). Terminal emulator and adb shell are virtually the same thing, they both use the same commands, just remove the "adb" or "adb shell" part from the commands.

1. Before posting this thread, I had seen the link you mentioned. I could not figure out how to use it to solve my problem.
2. can you explain how to use your own suggestion about "terminal emulator app"? (as far as I know, there is no TWRP for this tablet.)

You don't have TWRP but do you have root? If your device isn't rooted, terminal emulator won't work.
If you are rooted, install the Terminal Emulator app, open terminal emulator(grant superuser permission when promoted), then type:
su (then press enter)
Then type the am command as described in the link, just change the command to input the name of the actual apk file associated to the app that you want to start, you have to know the actual name of the app package instead of the name of the app as it appears in app drawer or homescreen. I don't know the actual package name of the app(s) you want to start so you will have to figure out the exact command for yourself.

Ok without root, you need to add --user 0 to the am command and you wouldn't have to type the "su" command first before typing the am command, you just type the am command.
So you would add it to the command as follows:
am start --user 0 (then the rest of the command including the proper package name for the app you desire to start)

If terminal emulator doesn't work, install "adb/fastboot 15 second installer" on your PC, then open a terminal on PC, connect your device to PC while the phone is booted into system as you would normally use the device, then type:
adb devices (press enter, if it returns a serial number you're connected)
Then type:
adb shell (press enter)
This will put you in adb shell to run shell commands
Then type:
adb shell (along with the rest of your am command with --user 0 and your app package name)
Hopefully, that works for you.

If Terminal Emulator works for you without root, you can create a script as a batch file (.bat file, select "file" in note editor, then "save as", then "all files", name the file "whateveryouwant.bat) using a note editor on PC with the commands contained in order in the file. Move the created file to your device and store it in the root of your internal sdcard, then run the script by opening Terminal Emulator and typing the command to run your batch file script whenever you want, this can automate the process somewhat.
