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

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?

But the motofail2go doesn't work with the last upgrade either 81.5.31002-81.5.39001.Retail.en.GB or 81.5.31006-81.5.40002.Retail.en.EU, does 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.

Try Flashing a Euro Open found here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/ with kdz flash tool.......and please stop making so many threads about each and every question. And if you must do it then post it Q & A section. Thanks.
Ok, i will try that out. Should i flash over the existing v20a, or downgrade first...??
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
I do not think that you need to downgrade to 10H for that ....... If it does not work then you can downgrade to 10H but I am quite sure that it will work and you won't lose any data.
Good Luck.
You cant get eur xxx. Why would you want anyway?
Because on 262-001 i cannot unlock the bootloader, but on euro open rom i can..

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....

From the OP of that thread -
Z 10.4.B.0.569 couldn't be rooted with both exploit, so this root tools cannot be used with newer devices/firmwares than Z1 .257.

That's why I didn't link to that method in the first place.
Are you saying that it actually does work? If so, report it in that thread as a supported firmware.

No, it does not work. Tried already and can confirm it's failure.
Is there any way to do so without unlocking the bootloader?
Ive rooted my Z already using the advanced stock kernel v11 by DooMLoRd... thanks to all

Short answer : No.
Unlock your bootloader or wait for an exploit/prerooted rom.

I don't think you understand. There are some devices where you cannot unlock the bootloader at all, even if you wanted to, therefore that guide is no use to people that own those devices.
I'm not asking for help by the way. I have an unlockable bootloader and am fully aware of how to root.

Just search in the Xperia Z Android development and look for the rooted 4.4.2 roms by @Rajeev and @zippy01 and follow the steps howto install and tadaa you have root on a locked bl !!!
Verstuurd vanaf mijn LT22i met Tapatalk
LOL indeed.
Please people read and understand what I was responding to before quoting me and trying to be clever again. Posting a guide that requires unlocking then relocking the bootloader is not a method of rooting with a locked bootloader for the reasons in the post of mine that you quoted without reading properly.
We all know that you can downgrade to gain root and flash any stock based rom that you want. You will see that I already suggested it in the second post of this thread.
