Motorola Backflip / Cliq XT has been rooted!

[Skrilax_CZ]

So as you might have heard, Droid 2 has been rooted. Well the same method is working on the Motorola Backflip, as several users were able to root their AT&T Backflips (until now, only old Chinese and Euro Backflips could be rooted via the Cliq method, as well as Quench) and on also Cliq XT. However the method is one of the "patience is a virtue" types at the moment, so don't lose your nerves

The thread with instructions can be found here:

For Cliq XT: http://modmymobile.com/forums/405-mo...t-cliq-xt.html

There is a PHP error on the Backflip Root page...

"Fatal error: Call to undefined method vB_Template::fetch_template_raw() in /home/modmymob/public_html/forums/vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo_hook.php on line 25"

Is there no where else that displays the rooting instructions for the Backflip besides the page that has the error?

I'm following these instructions for rooting my Backflip:

Setup:
- Install adb unless you haven't done so (here) and Motorola drivers unless you haven't done so (here)
- Download attached archive
- Extract to a directory, I used c:\Moto_MSM_Root
- Make sure you have USB degugging enabled
- Change connection to PC Mode

Process:
- Open command prompt
- cd c:\wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- cd c:\Moto_MSM_Root
- adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
- adb push su /sdcard/su
- adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox (optional)
- adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- adb shell
- cd data/local/tmp
- chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

- let the process run until it returns you to c:/Moto_MSM_Root (be patient, but may need to reboot the phone)
- cd c:/wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is
- adb kill-server
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb shell (you should now have a # prompt)
- mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
- cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
- cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su
- cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox (optional)
- chown root.root /system/xbin/su
- chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
- chown root.root /system/bin/busybox (optional)
- chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox (optional)
- chown root.root /system/app/Superuser.apk
- chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
- mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
- exit
- exit

I get all the way down to the bolded line and my prompt displays a "$" instead of the expected "#". Where did I go wrong? How do I fix this to completion?

Errors should be fixed guys. Sorry for the trouble.
