I have spent days trying to find a way to root this phone. Some times I think I am so close, and other days it seems like it will never happen. My latest attempts have been to find scripts and executables that the system is likely to execute as the privileged user and insert a call to telnetd or fire off a shell somewhere.
The thing that makes me want it even more is the delay in the update to the firmware that was expected by the end of June. Android 2.1, according to Motorola's previous projections, was supposed to hit the Cliq and the Cliq XT in Q2 (April, May, or June). They announced that it wasn't going to happen -- I think on June 30. I could really care less about all of the features of 2.1, but I do care that it is at least 1.6. There are a number of applications that I would like to use that require >=1.6.
Having root would just be bonus. I'd like to use WiFi tethering and make a few minor adjustments. Seems like you own the box you should be able to do what you want on it, right?
