Hey
guys, I thought I'd write a small guide on how to root your Android phone. The
Droid X in particular! I've gotten a lot of requests from people who need help
rooting their phones. I'm kind of surprised because a lot of guides are already
on YouTube or Google The Droid X is an amazing phone by
the way, just got mine a month ago and am loving it!

Step 3: Extract the files in RootMyX2. (Make sure you remember where you extract them!)
Step 4: Now take out your Droid X and go into USB Debugging Mode! You can do this by going into Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Then check the USB Debugging box.
