I've been a heavy user of Android for a few years, and flashed several roms, mods and kernels on my LG P500 and my friend's phones. But this phone is a bit different from the other ones i've used, and my budget is a bit low, so i'm afraid of screwing up. What i need is to somebody to help me, with the requirements i need and the process of rooting this phone. Any help of someone who is already rooted would be appreciated. Regards, AnonymRocker.
Just unlock the bootloader and use this tool
http://www.batakang.com/ftp/RAZRi/RootUtility/RAZRi_Root_Windows.zip
Hi TheAnonymRocker
For this phone I tried several rooters but the one that worked was the TATAZEUS mentioned.
Install Drivers and simply execute Root.bat into the zip. Tested on 871.111.20003.XT890.Brasil.en.BR. But Works on 871.111.20003.XT890.Brasil.en.BR too.
To unlock this phone visit Motorola website to request unlock key. Lost Warranty but not the updates for phone.
I'm going to try this method once i get home. Thanks for your help!
Do i need the drivers to use the root tool? And if i screw up, can i possibly brick it?

Yes you've obviously got the root access but you've gained it from the previous version of ics. The last version wouldn't allow rooting without unlocked bootloader as it could be assumed from the experience of those who tried to root upgraded razri.
Ok, i got hone and tried to unlock the bootloader, but when i tried to enter the fastboot command, i got this:
"$" is not a valid command
Can anyone help me?

Nope, rooting is necesary to give some apps elevated permissions. If you want to change your firmware, you must unlock the bootloader, and the use a tool like RSD Lite to flash a new firm over the actual one.

You need to be on v20a, you can use the hacked kdz method as that's what I did. Then in dialer type in 3845#*880# then go to version info and look at software version. If it says euro xxx you can unlock if it doesn't then you most likely can't.

If you just follow the instructions, two things can happend:
Unlock the bootloader, or not...
Allways able to go back to V10x or remain in V20A.
Now, if you start to mess with other commands and files and programs (like nvflash), than you might have a problem.

Sorry to hijack the thread :good:
Did you manage to get your phone onto the EURO Firmware or you just unlocked your current firmware ?
To unlock the phone and install a custom ROM I take it that you must root the device first so :-
1) root
2) Unlock
3) cwm
4) custom rom
I am coming from a Galaxy S2 which I did not have to root just use ODIN so thats why I am asking because I want to go straight to custom CM10
I unlocked 262-001..... And
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers and you have to unlock bootlader before installing cwm....

Hey guys and girls i've had my Xperia Z C6603 since it came out and I had rooted it since it was realeased to be able to but the other day I went to flash a custom ROM and bricked it. I then used the Sony tool to put the latest OFW on and reset it and then tried many different rooting methods with no luck.
I have the
C6603 on 4.4.2 and the.bootloader is not allowed to be unlocked.
Is it possible to flash a custom ROM and root it? And if so which method will work?

If you're going to keep posting that, you should also advise people that it requires unlocking the bootloader and therefore invalidates warranty.

Indeed it does require an unlocked bootloader.
In your situation, the only way to gain root is to downgrade to a 4.2.2 firmware, root and flash a prerooted KitKat rom or a custom rom of your preference.

You're correct. There's no way to unlock your bootloader.
Yes, you will need to download a 4.2.2 firmware and flash it using Flashtool. This will probably require that you wipe your data, unfortunately.

1. Download a 4.2.2 FTF - Download.
2. Flash it with Flashtool.
3. Install XZDualRecovery using the unrooted method.
4. Install a prerooted KitKat rom, such as this or a custom rom of your choice.
If you need any help with Flashtool, then just ask.

When updating to a new ROM eg, one at 4.4.x do I really need to upgrade up each build version? I looked at the requirements and one requires the next down, and then again and I think I would need to do it like 4 times.
You shouldn't need to, as most custom roms provide everything you need. The zip sometimes contains everything or sometimes you have to use Flashtool to flash a supplied FTF for the kernel and baseband.
If you're unsure, you could ask in the specific thread for the rom.
