Step by step rooting for Droid X running 2.3.4

[01123]

Hi All,

Is there a safe way i can root my verizon droid running 2.3.4 and system vrsion 4.5.621. I thought i read that rooting this version was blocked and i also read that flashing back to an older version that is rootable will brick my phone. I was wondering if there was a way to root this phone.??


Thanks!
