Yes i have but the first one i saw was confusing and the rest had no hlep at all. Thankyou! but do I click on V20B??

Check the thread below. And if your phone has v20b press that. There are all the information you need. Just search for the right thing and you will find the answer.
There is a lot of reading as well

There are different methods, some more simple, what version you have?

if you mean andriod version... I have 2.2.2

Look for UPK 3.6 and from there you can root with Blackjack.
After the root process you won`t lose anything but the warranty.

Okay, will do. Thanks heaps!

rooting your phone is dangerous but once you have done it, you will get a chance to try different roms. In short, Its fun!!!

How to root 2.3.4 (v20a)

Hi all,
My 2.2 OB was rooted until I updated it today to 2.3.4. I have tried all the suggestions in "the NooB now to" thread plus Gingerbreak, Unlockroot, Superoneclick & Blackjack. All without success.
They all seem to get the error message that system\app\Superuser.apk could not be created. Permission denied.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
TIA
Greg

I think this is a bit out of my league! I don't even understand what they are talking about. Sorry.

Then you can't root... wait i think somewhere on xda is a .bin + .fls files for smartflash tool... search for it.

Not at the moment. Devs do not look into it since it is possible to get root via unlocking the BL, which is sad

how about we start a "petition"? Cause by looking at the views of this threat it seems like people ARE interested in a solution but the devs are not looking into it because they think that noone needs it.
Any thoughts about this?

I was just about to post this question. I agree, the sheer number of views reflects the interest in this method.
I disagree that Moto updating would patch putting off devs - in all the years that I've owned Android phones with different manufacturers, that never put off any devs that I spoke with. Many acknowledged that it was getting harder but they never gave up. Then, someone would find a 'one root for all on this firmware for many phones' which completely override the manufacturer's 'patch'.
As for the petition...I have seen contributions to projects work. If it's a matter of pledging small donations I'd be happy to contribute, I have in the past. I'm not totally sure on the rules on this, they have changed I think. Another issue is that I believe it is Dan Rosenberg who is usually successful with Moto devices so he may be the best man for the job.
Even using an unlocked bootloader, finding information and sharing it on RSD Lite is difficult. Try Googling it: I cannot find a good, comprehensive guide that could be offered to newbies. You can find pieces on how to use it and where to find files, that's it. With the only root solution on Jelly Bean being using an unlocked bootloader, this RAZR i section fills with more bricked phones day after day after day...Any simpler root solution would go a long way to avoiding this.

well reading word by word more than one time, knowing what you are doing, straight following the instructions step by step and asking if you are unsure will avoid bricked phones, too.
Most of the bricked phone owners here read the wrong instruction or flashed the wrong files, cause they did not read word by word or did not ask when they were unsure doing the right things.
Just have a look through the threads: they mostly tried to root or flash with ics-files over JB....

I already wrote couple emails to D. Rosenberg and he immediately got back to me but his answer was a no. He is not going to look into getting root without unlocking the BL since there is a "perfectly viable manufacturer-supported unlock mechanism" (BL unlock)

The Reason i've posted yesterday, but no one was listening. He already stated that he won't root an unlockable Device, when there was the discussion about rooting the XT910/XT912 (JB).

I read German poorly now but the first seems to be instructions. I know there are many sets of instructions but I haven't found comprehensive guides that really go through what the software is, what all of it's capabilities are, what should not be done. For example, people keep using RSD Lite on here, downgrading Android version then getting a bricked phone. Why isn't that included in instruction guides? We need to know everything we can and can't do to avoid bricks.
Please, if you are know much about could you write a short guide of what you can do and what not to do?

Ah ha. That is a shame.
Rooting is still safer for the average user I think than unlocking the bootloader.
The problem with using RSD Lite is that it is hard to find a friendly nooby guide for everyone. Everyone says 'use it' then laugh at you when you brick your phone.

Hi guys,
so I read an article this morning that the folks from Lookout rooted the google glass via the exploit discovered by bluebox : Android security bug 8219321
It should be possible to get root on the Razr I with this exploit, does anyone know if someone is working on that?
Still by telling from the view of this threat people are really interested in getting su without unlocking the BL.

Help

Ok, first watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
I mean it seriously watch it then come back. Done? OK let's move on.
As you might have guessed, you have posted in the wrong section. Questions and help goes in the General forum for your device, this is development where people post their work. Also there are 2 or 3 threads in this section which explain how to root your device. So I recommend searching before posting. I will not post your solution, because you have to find it yourself, it's not hard at all (otherwise you and other new guys will never learn it and always keep asking the same questions over and over again)

Use this guide to root your phone .
Then search for Xperia V 4.4 and you will find lots of possible migration paths.

Is there Root for 5.3.2.1?

Hello everyone,
I searched the forums for some hrs to find if there is a possibility to root on 5.3.2.1
Most threads i found are quite old and saying that there is no root yet. But some say that root is actually working. I tried them without success.
Thats why i wanted to ask if there is a possibility of rooting that I didnt see?
I want to have a custom rom - there is no way to get this without root, isnt it?
Thanks for replies - and sorry for my bad english

No to both questions:
- no known method of rooting FireOS 5.3.2.1 and above
- no ability to install a custom ROM without root due to locked bootloader
You can take steps to make FireOS more palettable and improve performance:
- disable preinstalled apps
- remove lock screen ads
- use a different launcher
- enable/disable multi-user support
Each of these areas has one or move dedicated discussion threads which you likely encountered during your search.

Thanks for your reply!
And yes, i have alrady seen theese threads.
I have some aditional questions:
Is there any reason for trying the same root program several times?
Is it possible that root is working after an system update? I have seen a tutorial for rooting on 5.4.0

Not sure what "tutorial" you saw for rooting 5.4.0.0, but as far as we know here, it's not possible.

It was that one guy who made those two troll threads. One for 5.3.3, one for 5.4.0, and people ate it up.
