Need help with rooting the Droid X

[joeymoose]

So i followed the steps in the no adb root video. Everything goes smooth until the video suddenly ends half way through. Im having trouble with the second part, do i close the terminal and then enter the second part? Do i just continue? I keep on getting su permission denied... argh! Can some please help me? Pm me or just reply in this thread.

Thanks,

Moose

[Abe21599]

Awesome! Rooted, and tethered! Now all I have to do is get a HDMI converter and load up some Movies on this bad boy!


Thanks ABE!
