As expected when the Droid X hit the hands of end users the attempt to root it began. The bad news is that from what community developers are saying is that Motorola really locked down this phone using the same locked and signed bootloader as the Milestone. Even more bad news we have yet to see an exploit for the Milestone which leaves a grim outlook on having custom ROM’s and recovery images on this new gem.

Sure with every new phone eventually an exploit may be found but if you are into moding your phones like I am you might want to hold off on the Droid X or patiently wait to see if an exploit can be found. I for one am keeping my original Droid until something is found because I change ROM’s and themes daily. What about you? Anyone here have a rooted Droid or other device that they will stick with until confirmation a Droid X exploit?
