Anyone ever rooted Droid Pro?

Anyone that has used the Z4root, can you set up a temp root and install like Root Explorer to rename the files you don't want and reboot and lose root and still have the files renamed? Then do a temp root and rename back and do a restart and lose root say if a new update comes out?

+1 on this question. I just want to kill the DR O O I I D sound, but Root Explorer won't modify a file without root.

I just successfully did this. I downloaded Z4root on my PC, then moved it to the SD Card over the USB cable. After installing and rooting using Z4root, I looked for the "Root Explorer" app that people refer to, but all I found was a paid app that I didn't feel like paying for. Since I am quite comfortable with Linux, instead I then used "Android Terminal Emulator" (you can find it on the Android Market) and performed the following commands.

su
mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cd /system/media
mv droid.ogg droid.orig
cd /system/media/audio/ui
mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.orig
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
sync
reboot

The boot DDDRROIIIDDD sound and the camera click sounds are now both gone.

I then went back into Z4root and unrooted. So far so good.

I just rooted my Droid Pro using the link for the z4root above by hookbill and it worked great! thanks hook!

although i did run into a little problem. the first time i ran the z4, it took forever on the loading screen after i clicked permanent root so i had to battery pull and tried again. just a heads up for anyone that is also running into the same problem.

Think I have an older version of z4 it rooted my phone fine but does not have an option for unroot. Nor did it have one for temp root or perm root just root. Never the less it did work and I am rooted and going to rename some bloat. Is the same list of files safe to remove from the Droid X usable with the Pro?
