I am thinking about rootin' the old Droid, and I know there be plenty of web sites on this topic. Which have yous guys found useful?
Thank you please.
(Droid X, Verizon)
Number one piece of advice. If you want to root,
DO NOT ACCEPT ANY "OTA" (over the air) UPDATES FROM YOUR CARRIER. Choose "no", "later" or whatever for any kind of prompt your phone gives you to update itself from the carrier's network. This can prevent you from rooting your phone for as much as six months to a year, while the Android open-source community figures out a workaround for the latest updates to make rooting for your model and Android/carrier version rootable again.

Read the FAQ's, and read people's problem threads. View the information about Android OS version numbers and phone models. Each new release of Android OS customized by each phones maker and the carrier usually blocks previous methods used to hack and root their phone. So again, don't accept or apply any updates.
