Hi all, i was update my droid 3 up to .906. Now i want root my device (never root before), can i use old method like one_click_root?
do a search for motofail. That is the only known method that works for the .906 update.
Failing to Root
I too am attempting to root my Droid 3 for the first time. I tried both motofail from Dan Rosenberg and MotorolaOneClickRoot from Pete Souza. Below is a screen capture of my attempt.

Make sure that USB Debugging is selected (under menu->Applications->Development), and also make sure that you select Charge Only mode when you connect to your computer via USB.
For good measure, turn on "Never sleep while charging" or something along those lines. It should be near where you turn of USB Debugging.

you can find the sbf,motofail and .906 update all in my thread...link in my sig
You may also be missing drivers for it...
You can download the Moto Device Manager here
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
and this should be able to install the latest, proper drivers. These may not be needed, but it's just one more step in troubleshooting.
Hello All,
Used the root script from Bin4ry, all went well... except at the end where it informs you "If all goes well, I'll tell you, if not this will run forever" (or words to that effect), well... it ran for a considerable time, so I disconnected everything and messed around with the phone, terminal emulator informed me that I did indeed have root access (PID: 0) I was able to access sbin etc... great I thought, but why didn't SuperUser show a dialogue requesting root access... I assumed maybe a busybox problem so I downloaded that and installed it, it all worked well... still no root dialogue, just to make 100% sure I checked with RootChecker and it confirmed I have root. So I rebooted the phone, now there is no root access and I can't seem to get Bin4ry's script to work again, I'm assuming there are maybe remnant files causing an error of some sort?
Anyway, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this and maybe provide me with a solution to rooting the thing?!

v22 and later Bin4ry versions fail on Xperia T JB at the busybox installer, so use v21 instead. If you can't find it, I can upload it to somewhere, please pm.
I think just go to your phone, this line tells you what to do next

In your phone, the service menu is displayed, go to "service tests" > "display"
then just touch the screen,the color will change and the rooting process will proceed..

Why? Binary v21 works very nicely with xperia T... Interestingly, v25 seems to temporarily root it, then on reboot a factory reset is required before v21 will work. Strange.

It would have done it by now, if it hasn't done it's job in 2 minutes, it's not going to... I know it's painful, but.. restore your phone back to factory, uninstall/reinstall the Sony app from your computer and try again, it took me a fair bit of messing around, and ultimately when I got to where you were that's what did the trick.
You're also getting a "Restore started" then straight away "Restore finished" dialogue right? ... that's exactly where I was.
How this works is, the backup restore process is started and data is mounted as r/w the superuser app and busybox are put there during this time (all ninja like), but it seems it can/does fail, I'm sure someone cleverer than us can shed light as to why, but until then... start with a clean slate both on the Xperia and your computer (... a complex version of "Turn it off and turn it back on again")
I once read somewhere you have to keep tapping it every 3 or 4 second.
That's whati always do and it worked for me. I always use v21 though (just because I have it )

Fortunately I didn't have to go through all this. I went through the simple version of "turn it off and on again", and it worked. I simply disconnected my phone, rebooted it, restarted the process (twice), and it just magically worked on the third time.
Try v26 option 3. It worked fine for me. I have the Bond branded phone with locked bootloader.

I've been trying this for most of the day, having read everything here about doing it, and even watching the video.
Unfortunately, I let the phone update to 14.1.G.2.257, but I found the instructions on how to flash back to the previous 1.534. The flashing worked perfectly.
I am trying to use Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v32 having read how to and watched the tutorial. USB debugging is enabled, as is Unknown Sources, and the 'adb devices' command in the stuff folder of the afformentioned program lists the phone.
However, it does not seem to work. I get the following output:

The phone reboots, but there is no SuperUser app. I have re-run the program many times, reflashed the stock firmware again to make sure, and banged my head against my desktop several times to no avail.

Oops, thanks! I did look for one, but obviously not well enough.
READ THIIS!
*this thread is for desire 510. it will NOT work on m7,or any older device. please check the general forum for your particular device for a similar thread.
this thread will let you unlock your bootloader without htcdev,or let you change your hboot watermark from relocked or unlocked back to stock.
advantages
-no hassle with htcdev,tokens,or unlock codes
-no submitting your phones personal info to htc
-the ability to get back to 100% stock without any visual traces or records of having been s off or unlocking your bootloader.
*you must be s off.
*you must have superuser installed
read this:
this will not work if your s on. its not a way to magically unlock
the usual disclaimers:
use this info at your own risk. if it melts your phone into a little pile of plastic goo,its not my fault.
credits
-beaups for schooling me on echo comand protocol
-strace for originally discovering the location of the lock status flag(check out this thread for more info)
*i have tested this on my gsm cricket desire 510 variant(a11_ul). let me know if you try it on a different variant,or if youd like to dump partitions and have me take a look
IF you are an advanced user with adb/fastboot set up and some basic knowlede of the cmd window,you can skip to #2
1)set up adb(windows 7 and older)
-download this file
-install drivers: if you have htc sync installed,you should allready have drivers. if not,you can install htc sync,or install these modified htc drivers from revolutionary (driver mirror)
-unzip your miniadb_v1031.zip file. this is native funtionality in windows 7. you otherwise may need a utility such as "7-zip" to extract,or unzip it. place the unzipped folder onto the root of your C drive on your PC. root means the top level,not inside any folders. so just copy and paste,or drag and drop the folder onto C with everything else that is there. you may want to rename it to "miniadb_m7" since youll be putting some device specific files in here.
-open a command window. on windows 7,click the start bubble in the lower left and type "command" in the search box. xp i believe is similar or the same. doing this should open a small black command window.
-change to your miniadb_m7 directory. type the following at the prompt in your cmd window:
cd c:\miniadb_m7
your command promt should change to "c:miniadb_m7>" provided you: 1)unzipped the miniadb_v1031 zip file,and 2)put the folder on your c drive,and 3)entered the name of the folder correctly ("miniadb_m7" in this case)
-now make sure usb debugging is checked in developer options(you will need to turn it on first),and plug your phone into your PC with a usb cable
-make sure your phone is being recognized- type:
adb devices
if your drivers are installed correctly,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,then enter this command:
adb reboot bootloader
this should take your phone to the "fastboot" screen,wich is white with colored letters. this is one mode of your bootloaders interactive modes. at the top youll see fastboot devices as confirmation youre in fastboot.
now enter:
fastboot devices
again,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,you can enter the following to boot back to the phones OS:
fastboot reboot
and now,youve installed adb/fastboot and tested youre phones drivers. if at either spot,you have trouble and dont get your serial number back,there is some sort of connection issue. use these steps to troubleshoot:
troubleshooting connectivity issues:
-try a reboot of the PC
-try different usb cables and ports
-dont use a usb hub
-dont use usb 3.0
-make sure nothing capable of comunicating with the phone is enabled and running. htc sync,pdanet,easy tether,and even itunes have all been known to cause issues.
-windows 8 has been known to have issues. try a windows 7 or older machine
failing the above,
-i use these drivers for fastboot and adb(donwload and run as admin): http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe (mirror)
failing that,try manually updating the drivers in the following manner:
-put the phone in fastboot mode(select fastboot from the hboot menu)
-open device manager on the PC
-plug in phone,watch for it to pop up in device manager.
-update drivers with device manager,pointing the wizard to the extracted
driver download folder from above
note that you can check the connectivity of the phone,and make sure drivers are working by in the following manner:
-open cmd window. change to directory containing adb/fastboot utilities
-adb with the phone in the booted OS,usb debug enabled,enter:
adb devices in a cmd window
-fastboot with phone in fastboot,enter:
fastboot devices in cmd window
in either case,a properly connected phone with working drivers installed should report back the phones serial number.

Hello everybody! I am new to xda so I hope I'm in the right place. Rooting a KF (2013) has proved to be quite challenging for me, also because I am dumb .

The kindle has been told to reboot in Fastboot Mode.

In both cases my tablet reboots but checking with 'Root Analyzer' I can see that it is not rooted.
I have also tried rooting with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v30 choosing the 1st option but I get this:

Now unlock your device and confirm the restore operation.
Please look at your device and click RESTORE!
If all is successful i will tell you, if not this shell will run forever.
Running ...
At this point, my kindle fire displays a screen where I have to choose between 'Do not restore' and 'Restore my data' and I chose 'Restore my data' but my tablet does not reboot at all and the runme.bat file keeps running forever. I have also tried not to press anything at all on the 'Do not restore/Restore my data' screen and I get this:
HTML:
Successful, going to reboot your device in 10 seconds!
Waiting for device to show up again....
Going to copy files to it's place
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
You can close all open command-prompts now!
After reboot all is done! Have fun!

My tablet actually reboots but checking with Root Analyzer I still see the message 'No, your device is not rooted'. What should I do? :'( Ask me all the questions you need and I'll do my best to answer them. Also, please keep in mind that I am not technical therefore explain me things as you would explain them to a quite smart baby Thanks for your help!
