Motorola did some hard work preparing the encrypted boot loader that came with its flagship devices, Droid 2 and Droid X. The encryption was meant to keep hackers at bay and prevent the phones from being rooted. But for whatever it was worth, you and us always knew that eventually, phones will be rooted. In fact, no android phone can remain unrooted, right?

Rooting Droid 2 didn’t take much time but the root process was a bit complicated thus far, which made many users just shy away. But the latest turn of the events at the XDA Forums suggests that finally One Click Root Access has landed for lesser mortals who don’t like lengthy process and prefer automation above all.

That said, what’s wonderful about this is that the One Click root procedure has arrived for all all three platforms – Windows, Linux and Mac. So, are you all geared up to root Droid 2? Here is how to root D2 with steps:

Many thanks to facelessuser for working his magic!

The developer of the root method has clearly stated that there is good probability that the root process may not go as planned but has asked users to try again and not get frustrated. Note that we’re no responsible for anything whatsoever, if you brick your phone.

Before going to root your phone, you must understand the process and risks behind this. And for this, there is no better place than the XDA Forums. For any problems, queries and user opinions about this root method, visit this thread at the Forums.
