Droid X Gets Rooted

Posted by Soulskill on from the root-root-root-for-the-home-team dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Droid X forums have posted a procedure to root the new Motorola Droid X, putting to rest Andoid fans' fears that they would never gain access to the device's secrets due to a reported eFuse that would brick the phone if certain boot files were tampered with. Rooting the phone is the first step in gaining complete control over the device."

    You mean you didn't realize that the carriers would force this one the phones regardless of who wrote the OS?

    Really? You didn't expect this? Cell phones have never been 'open', the fleeting few moments that you could get an android device that didn't have to be broken to modify the OS are few and drawing near a to a close.

    If you didn't expect this than you really do need to take your fanboy blinders off.
