Absolutely awesome piece of work!!! This tool does everything! I wish it had been available when I initially rooted my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. This is a developer whose efforts and work-product are worth supporting.

Do I gather from the discussion that a similar tool is available for my daughter's original Motorola Droid X (aka "Shadow")?

Thank you! Not everything... It doesn't make me breakfast yet... lol. In all seriousness though, I actually have a lot more planned for future releases.. so stay tuned!

The Droid X was my last device. No, Motorola is not a developer friendly company. Despite a great deal of effort from the community, the majority of their device's still have a locked bootloader, and the DroidX is included in that list. With a locked bootloader, doing something like this isn't really possible. We were limited to only flashing signed Motorola SBF files in order to restore our devices. There are ways to root on the Droid X, and install clockwork mod.. but not using the same methods this program does, and the device is never truly open.

It's the openness of these Samsung devices which make developing something like this possible.
