Can't unroot droid x

[ArmyDude]

bin and xbin are system folders. You should have xbin. If when you rooted, you copied busybox to xbin, then you will have it there. If not, it won't exist. busybox is an app that is needed for root access. I'm not sure it's actual specifics.

Busybox is a set of Linux applets (in this case, Android applets, but I digress) that do all sorts of useful things. A lot of apps rely on busybox being installed so the dev doesn't have to program that functionality into the app while coding it.

VERY useful bugger to have installed. The market has a busybox installer that I recommend for all rooters to download and use because it keeps your busybox install up-to-date.

Cool man thanks ill go download it right now.. you think the unrooting method will work after I install busybox? Or will I have to find a way to download xbin too?

xbin is just the folder busybox is installed to. Just skip the busybox line in the unrooting instructions from earlier and see if you run into any further errors.

Ok guys while using the terminal emulator it said no such directory found after I typed in rm /system/xbin/su ... I skipped the busybox command like u said.

OP, please see PM I just sent.

Did you get it figured out? BTW, doroot installs su and busybox to the /system/bin folder.

There is doroot on rootzwiki with directions and there is also the super one click for all droids app already linked in this section. Your choice.
