DMUpdater: One Click ROOT for Droid 1, Droid X, and EVO 4G

[olta777]

DOES IT AGAIN!!!! One click Root for Droid 1, Droid X, and EVO 4G...Easy and fast, right from your phone.


PLEASE READ:
-This is ONLY for Android 2.1
-DO NOT flash SP Recovery to Droid X or EVO 4G


Download the APK...





Instructions from Droidforums:

1. Download install the APK
2. Click, "Root my Phone"
3. Click "Allow" when app requests SuperUser access
4. Allow SPRecovery to be flashed on your phone (Droid 1 only)

Voila, your 2.1 Android handset is now rooted with a custom recovery (SPRecovery). Do not attempt this if you're running Android 2.2. We don't yet know the ramifications.

So far we only tested DMUpdater 12 on the Droid 1, and it worked flawlessly. However it also supposedly works with the DROID X and HTC Evo 4G, but has not been confirmed on our end, so be wary. DO NOT FLASH SPRECOVERY ON ANYTHING BUT THE DROID 1. Also, note this version is still considered a beta, so it may not always work as intended. Let us know how it worked for you. With such an easy tool available, now is as good a time as any to root, dontcha think?

Will I need to log back into google account or will it keep all info?

[BBCrackman]

you should be able to keep all info. But worst case you will have to log back into your google account

Can you use wifi tether once you root the X?

man, wish i would have found this last week when i was rooting my droid... i downgraded to 2.0.1 or whatever the stock version is then rooted to froyo 2.2. this would have made things much easier. if you did this would you be able to then move from 2.1 to froyo 2.2. i know you wouldnt have the sp recovery image but would there be some other way to upgrade to froyo after doing this.

anyone try it on 2.2?...'cause i'm about to..i've been trying to fix this root thing through almost every method on this site. i might just do it out of desperation

From all I have read, this does not work on 2.2... You have a high chance of getting a brick.
