It’s probably best that I don’t have a Windows box and that I don’t trust a virtual Windows machine when it comes to hacking phones. I have a habit of hacking phones before finishing coverage of stock features. The DROID X, which I just brought home yesterday, now enjoys the one-click rooting that we’ve seen turn up for so many other devices.

The first root method for X took approximately 20 steps to complete, so this Windows app will be a great relief to many an aspiring hacker. I need to review the device before tinkering, but you never know what might happen in a week or two.

The program can be downloaded from Droid-Life
