XP Users having ADB trouble, check out THIS post for a possible solution.
Part A: UPDATE FROM A CLEAN, UNROOTED PHONE (running 2.1).
(Run means type the command in quotes [but not the quotes] then press the Enter key)

1. Download the attached archive and expand it to a folder you can find (eg. c:\DroidXRoot_v2)
2. Set up ADB (Step-by-step guide for Windows Vista/7 HERE. <– USE THAT THREAD FOR ADB SUPPORT PLEASE.)
3. On the phone: Home, Menu Button, Settings, Applications, Development: Make sure the “USB debugging” option is enabled/checked.
4. Status bar, USB connection: Make sure “PC Mode” is selected.
5. Open a command prompt (Windows: Start, Run, “cmd”, OK; Linux: Terminal)
6. Run “adb devices”. If you don’t see your device listed under “List of devices attached”, return to step 2 and follow the link to setup ADB (use that topic for support) and return here when “adb devices” lists your X.
7. Run “CD c:\DroidXRoot” (or where ever you expanded the archive)
8. Run “adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk“
9. Run “adb push su /sdcard/su“
10. Run “adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox“
11. Run “adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid“
12. Run “adb shell“
13. Run “cd sqlite_stmt_journals“
14. Run “chmod 755 exploid“
15. On your phone, navigate to a screen where you can switch wifi/bluetooth on/off easily (settings, or a home screen with a widget)
16. IMMEDIATELY after executing the next step, toggle wifi or bluetooth off and back on
17. Run “./exploid” and follow directions on screen. Once this completes you’ll be back at a shell prompt.
18. Run “rootshell“. You’ll be prompted for a password.
19. Type in password “secretlol” and press Enter then you are root! (You’ll know because your prompt will now be a “#” instead of “$”)
20. Run “cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk“
21. Run “cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su“
22. Run “cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox“
23. Run “chmod 4755 /system/bin/su“
24. Run “chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox“
25. Run “rm /system/bin/rootshell“
26. Run “exit” to drop from root to a non-root user shell (on phone still)
27. Run “exit” to drop back to your machine command prompt (instead of phone)

To Confirm root is established:

1. Run “adb shell“
2. Run “su” (now you should see the # sign which indicates you are root)
3. Watch your screen so you can allow Superuser root access.

You’re done! feel free to kill the bloat apps snd such.
NOTE: It might be a smart idea to do “rm /system/bin/rootshell” after you have su and superuser in place as ANY program will have access to your root if you leave it (cause everyone will know the password)
