A forum user going by the name TheDudesAndroid over at ModMyMoto announced yesterday that he has successfully rooted the Motorola Cliq.
The five-step process currently reflashes the phone with an unlocked Android 1.5 ROM, but it does open the gate for future ports of Android 2.0 or 2.1.
As a final note, TheDude warns against ROMs modded for other phones and addresses the DEXT:
Cyanogen roms WILL NOT RUN on your phone yet. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH G1 roms, hero roms, etc yet. This does not make your phone ready to flash update.zips I will be creating custom ROM’s with improvements upon 1.5 and hopefully a 2.1 port.
I wanted to wait till it was ready..but alas.
DEXT Users: This will work for your phone, the radio is not flashed as part of the update, HOWEVER, your internet pay not work. I didn’t setup the proper APN’s. This update is geared toward Cliq, but I will be releasing a proper dexted update based on the orange update.zip
