Rooting a Droid X: In the following simple solution, I cover a simple way to Root a Droid X, or almost any other Android Based Phone via Z4Root, created by RyanZA. By Rooting your phone, you obtain System Level Access, enabling you to do things with your Droid that are not possible with limited user access. Busybox is also included with Z4Root.

How to easily Root a Droid X with Z4Root
- Download the Z4Root package and install it to your Droid.
- Navigate to your list of installed applications, and Click Z4Root
- Choose Permanent Root. An Option to Un-Root becomes available after the phone has been Rooted, so you can return your phone to factory Unrooted condition.
- Wait for Z4Root to do its magic. Once finished, reboot your Phone.
- To confirm that your Droid phone is rooted, you should see a new Superuser application in your applications menu.
