    now if i could jsut find a root method that works….

    • DXuser

      Droid 4 root method doesn’t work?

      • John

        It didn’t for me.  Tried a couple different methods, Droid 4 root and Peter’s Motorola root program but both failed.  When I tried to go back to .602, my phone bricked with multiple bootloader errors (It shows the same bootloader version but they don’t like each other). Fortunate to get a replacement from Verizon which put me back to .605. They told me not to try and go back to a previous version again.

    Will not root, and will brick the phone if sbf back to .602 is attempted

  • NATIVESPINNER

    I got my root back by using superuser su 2.3.6.3 installed from cw mod after dx2 bootloader

    • Em001

      What exactly did you have to do to get back root?
