Root exploit for Motorola Razr I (x86)
Source code:
https://github.com/CunningLogic/TwerkMyMoto
To use:
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb push rootme.sh /data/local/tmp/
adb push TwerkMyMoto.jar /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
adb shell /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
adb reboot
adb shell /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
This includes SuperSu 1.65 su binary, the updated binary does not work on this device, no idea why (i don't have the device)
Thanks a lot @jcase for this.
Again folks, this means no more BL unlock is needed to get root on our phones!
Works great on my phone (EU version)
Update (24th Nov 2013): IT'S Working! Tested on a Razr i (Brazilian) with Stock Retail SML29 ROM.
Tested root on Terminal Emulator.

This is not going to unlock your bootloader, only giving you root access that can easily be reverted in case you need to send it back to Moto for repair. That's why this is so awesome!

this is a method by HSD Pilot
Relock your Bootloader
You'll need an complete JB (4.1.2) Fastboot File of your Region for doing that!
Copy the content of the [XT890] Re-lock Bootloader.zip into the extracted Fastboot File Folder

If i lock my bootloader again, it will wipe my internal storage, right? Will I loose my current root? And more important, will that message saying that bootloader was unlocked be gone? If not, i have no reasons to re-lock it
Enviado de meu XT890 usando Tapatalk
Amazing!!! It works without unlocking the bootloader!
However, I had to replace the su binary with an older one (provided in the other rooting thread) and I'm currently using Superuser instead of SuperSu.
Your su was correctly copied to xbin but it was not working
Now I have removed unwanted system apps and installed Greenify without loosing the warranty. Win win!!!

My bootloader is still locked, can I use this and then install a custom recovery or unlocking is still needed for a custom recovery?
Thanks

Unfortunately to install custom recovery and custom ROMs is still necessary to unlock bootloader. But with ROOT and a little bit of time on Google, you can do very nice things with your Razr i (XT890) !
Search for Xposed and GravityBox.

I'm used to perform a nandroid backup before any modification, plus all the other benefits that come with a custom recovery... But I'll probably give it a try.

Just to check, there's no wipe involved in this?
EDIT: No wipe, seems to work! Yay!
---------- Post added at 07:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------
Actually, just testing this out, when I go into SuperSU it says that I need to update the SU binary. When I click 'Normal' (I don't have a cusotm recovery), it says almost instantly that the update failed. Any fix for this?
EDIT AGAIN: Wooooops, just seen that line in the OP that says I need 1.65. Fail moment!

Just DO NOT update SuperSU, you only have to keep it installed. It will be used to set permissions on apps and files.
Root working fine here! Stock ROM no BL Unlocked.

OP has a step by step, it tells you to execute it from adb for a reason

basically, the adb commands do the following:
- put su, rootme.sh and TwerkMyMoto.jar files into /data/local/tmp/
- change /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh permissions to 755
- run /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh script
- reboot
- run script again
i think if you can manage to do this in your phone, you can make it
but as jcase said, it tells you to execute it from adb for a reason

All Thanks to @Derjan23
I used Code from his post here
thanks to @OopsWare for his analysis of this code here
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for any damage at your device!
You're running this program on your own risk!
Here's unlock Program it does the following
1-try to read odm_reserved
2-check if your bootloader unlocked or locked
3-calculate the most effective string that you have to echo to reverse bootloader state(it will relock if your Bootloader is unlocked - unlock if your Bootloader is locked
4-you can copy echo command and use it after su root in terminal
DONT BLOWN ALL FUSES WITH echo /data/local/tmp/odm_reserved >/sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved
by using this program you have 16 chances to unlock relock bootloader before all fuses blown
you can read how this works here

the official method checks this numbers before unlock and this method unlock directly so sure it works - if you don't already know 262 234 232 even sim locked is unlocked with odm hack I only modified it to do whats really needed only - so you have other chances to relock unlock
Yes....

There's several of them, just search and read mate.
this method works if you used official bootloader unlock method or used my program to unlock - if you used the other hack method echo /data/local/tmp/odm_reserved >/sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved then you have no more chances to relock - anyone can't relock should check /sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved contents with es file explorer before and after using program
this program for LG 4X only and you should have stock JB and rooted device

Did they repair your phone ?
I'm just curious as I'm about to send mine in for charging problems and wondered if i should reoock it.
So i just tried to run the new RockMyMoto exploit for the Moto x after the camera update and when i get to the point of running the command line dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto, the line runs and it says "System is not write protected... Executing step 3..." now i'm assuming this is because i have a Dev Edition moto x, but the problem is that nothing actually happens. I'm assuming that the RockMyMoto figures it's already gotten past the write protection and just needs to install superuser. But it doesn't, my phone isn't rooted and supersu doesn't work. anyone got a way around this?

If your boot loader is already unlocked you don't need RockMyMoto....
If you have an unlocked X you can root it doing the following.
1) install twrp recovery
.....a) fastboot flash recovery twrp263.img
2) reboot phone to recovery
3) install su
.....a) mount system in recovery
.....b) adb push su /system/xbin/su
.....c) adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
4) reboot device

how to Root with locked bootloader
Hi, Is it possible to root on a locked bootloader. I feel its risky to unlock bootloader because we definitely loose warranty where as on locked bootloader its possible to regain warranty after full unroot.

After unlocking bootloader, whats the significant loss? Like for example, after unlocking bootloader of xperia i lost my DRM keys and then after even relocking i couldn't get them back so some Sony apps like walkman, track id were not working.

Absolutely right. All "tutorials" with unlocking bootloader, formatting userdata, installing custom recovery are trash. Especially because we are going to get L update soon and custom ROMs aren't going to be the priority for a lot of people.

Quick thing guys... Correct me if i am wrong.
When you root the device, changes are done to system and (i think) now Google as a second level checks if there are changes done at the system. If that's the case, will we get L push update with locked default bootloader and a rooted device?
Thanks.

Unlocking bootloader here will wipe all the data stock in the phone. AFAIK there is no loss over here.

Install - SYSTEM APP REMOVER from Google Play Store
Hi,
I have bought a droid turbo 32GB red from ebay. It works, no problem. But I want to install custom rom.
So, the blue bootloader unlocked message is there when I start the phone. In fastboot mode device is locked, status code 2.
I have already used sunshine to unlock the bootloader again. Sunshine told me it was a success, but status code is always 2.
When I want to flash TWRP recovery via fastboot I get message (bootloader) preflash validation failed.
What can I do?
Thanks and greetings from germany.
Only one little tip, please.
Once a Droid Turbo XT1254 bootloader is unlocked, if the previous owner relocked it can not be unlocked again.
Status 2 means unlocked at one point and then relocked, yes?
I don`t know what it means...
It means someone unlocked it, relocked it, and now it cannot be unlocked again.

tested this on my device and it worked. Keep in mind we can't guarantee it will work for you and also can't guarantee it won't kill your device (but I don't see why it should). Copy paste this command, do NOT make any errors.
From a ROOT adb shell (if you don't have root you'll need to figure out how to get it, kingroot, etc):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sp bs=1 seek=8
It should hang for a few seconds and then you should see something like:
dd: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sp: No space left on device
1048569+0 records in
1048568+0 records out
1048568 bytes transferred in 7.203 secs (145573 bytes/sec)
At that point reboot to bootloader and hopefully your problem is solved. Do NOT relock that device again in the future.

Makes sense, since your bootloader is still locked.
but "From a ROOT adb shell (if you don't have root you'll need to figure out how to get it, kingroot, etc)". So, kingroot rooted the device, but I get problems with closing apps etc...
So, I am sorry, but I dont not know how I get adb root access? Is it a terminal emulator which root king gave root access or is it a special ADB command when the phone is in fastboot mode? In fastboot mode there is also (Secure)...

If you can get root through king root even if its just temporary make sure all programs you can close are closed then use a terminal emulator on your phone and should be able to type in the command there I will do some more searching and see what else I can find out u may also want to go to rootninja website and ask them they could probably explain it better than me. Should have asked this first but I assume your on the latest version of lollipop if not that could be a problem and we will need to get u up to date on that first

You can also use Sunshine to get root access. Just start it and follow the directions until it says that it has root access.

Was gonna link him the same tutorial.
Glad to see now three people succeed with this method.
So I just got My OnePlus 3T and like most, would like it rooted! I have had experience with rooting and unlocking bootloader, but since My earlier devices were by Sony, there is a lot of difference. In Sony devices, there was no need to unlock bootloader to root, but it seems that for rooting 3T, I need to unlock bootloader. Even that doesn't seem difficult since there is this great guide with a toolkit. But My concern is that do I need to backup any partition before I unlock bootloader? Like in Sony we had a TA partition, which could be backed up before unlocking bootloader and would get wiped after unlocking bootloader. This is just for keeping it as backup and restore it to device if I decide to lock bootloader again. Also, will I loose anything if I unlock bootloader? Such as anything specific to OEM or camera functionality?
Nope. On OP devices there's no permanent penalty for unlocking. If you ever want to go back, you can re-lock the bootloader. But: unlocking and locking will wipe your phone. So you can't carry over root to a locked bootloader.

Okay, that helps! So to return back to locked bootloader everything would need to be like stock(no root, custom recovery etc.)
I had read somewhere about EFS backup and that it is related to IMEI number of the phone. This need to be done before or after the rooting process?
Also, would I need to disable encryption (as it is seen enabled in settings) and remove the fingerprint lock option before unlocking bootloader?
And just to be clear, I'm going to do following steps in the sequence to flash TWRP and root, Please let Me know if it is correct:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP.
3. Flash SuperUser
all this with the help of ToolKit of OnePlus 3T. I don't need to take backup as the phone is new.
Also, I will be flashing the phh SuperUser for support with Magisk as mentioned here.
Hey, do you guys know if you can get official OTAs if you have TWRP installed?

I did the advice backup as a precaution. Then did your 1,2,3 steps. May I ask, why Magisk? Is Android Pay currently working with stock ROM + Root + unlocked bootloader?

AFAIK stock recovery is required. Otherwise install zip manually via downloads.oneplus.net

I'm not interested in Android Pay, as it doesn't work in My country, It is Pokemon Go I wanted, but I guess it doesn't work. Thanks for the infor though! It was a lot simple in Sony!
