I cant seem to find a way to root my droid x running the GB OTA without a windows computer? Please help.
My computer runs Ubuntu

There is currently no way to root the OTA. Your best bet is to SBF back to .340 and upgrade via the TBH two-part .596 installation.

Ash is correct, OTA is un-rootable. If you want rootz, SBF is the way to go.

We can help ya do it if your unfamiliar.

He meant SBF to froyo then root and then flash the files for prerooted gingerbread.

Do research first. Yes you can SBF back to Froyo, z4root it, install droid2bootstrap install the 2 zips provided from MDW Part's I and II .. and that will get you .596 rooted...

This isnt a bash btw.. Just trying to make sure no misinformation is given... I see where your confusion was SyNiK4l. U were thinking of the gingerbread SBF I assume yes>?
