Droid 1 Rooting in 2015
I'm having issues rooting my completely stock Android 2.2.3 US Motorola Droid on Verizon with build FRK76 with baseband C_01.43.01P. I am running Windows 10 Tech Preview and Arch Linux, and can jump over to a Windows 8.1 machine if necessary. I have drivers and can see my droid in Device Manager as Android ADB Interface (with USB debugging on), Motorola A855 USB Device, and Motorola Flash Interface (in Bootloader).
I have rooted two more modern devices, but this one is escaping me.
Universal Androot, z4root, SuperOneClick, RSD Lite, and One Click Root are all failing for me. The methods that ship with adb.exe aren't seeing the phone when I run "adb devices":C:\...\Desktop\droid_oneclick>adb devices
List of devices attached
[nothing here but the next command prompt]
​That makes me think there may be some compatibility issues with Windows 10, but still, the .apk's didn't work either, and it looks like I'm stuck.
Is there a well-defined method without broken links documented somewhere I just haven't seen yet? Are there 'bad drivers' out there preventing adb from seeing it or known incompatibilities between particular drivers and software? Have all the exploits been patched out of my phone?

I found my answer to both points. This guide worked. I'm not allowed to post the guide link. Frustrating.
And to explain my ADB and RSDLite issues, it looks like the USB ports on the top of my computer count as a USB hub and these devices just don't see it.

Radiocomm and the D3

I'm going to look around with Radiocomm to see what kind of information this can provide about the Droid 3. Any information I find (version numbers, etc) will be posted here to help get root going.
Haven't used this particular tool, but should be able to just check things out.

would this help it talks about getting to the bootloader if not i will delete this.

RadioComm is a very powerful tool but it will not help to "unlock" the bootloader.
There are a great many useful things to explore with RadioComm, but you need to be VERY CAREFUL when using it and I do NOT recommend randomly hitting any buttons in the GUI and never write or execute ANYTHING unless you are absolutely certain you understand both what you are doing and how to recover or restore default values!!!
This is really important if you want to avoid damaging your phone.
I will be posting a lot more about RadioComm and how to use it safely to read and write the NVM and other functions.
I've worked in a production environment with testing and programming software similar to this, so I can translate some of the commands used (but please feel free to share!). I am just using read or get commands at the moment, to get the information out to the community. On the plus side, I have another upgrade coming up in a few months, so if I do brick this one, I can get another
After looking around some, the P2K tabs are the only sections I find that communicate with the droid 3 so far.
The SW version reported:
Tcdma_solana-user 2.3.4 5.5.1_84_D3G-20_TA-9 110613 release-keysMDM6600BP_N_03.18.16P
And I believe the eFuse is on the D3 as well, since the section communicates and verifies it.
For about phone (kernel, build, etc):

[Q] Need Root access for new upgrade path

New MotoX from sprint.
android version 4.2.2
baseband msm8960pro_bp_2323.020.90.00r
kernel 3.4.42.-xline.
system version 139.14.1
build 13.9.0q2.x-116-mx-17-57-1
i did a fair amount of searching but could not find the proper instructions for obtaining root access for the moto x. Need root access or this device would be a deal breaker.
Can someone point me to a link? I would be much appreciated. Thanks Listers!!!
You must of not even attempted to do any real looking. This forum is not that large for the Moto X and there is plenty of information for you to see.
1) you have a sprint phone so you can unlock the Bootloader, install TWRP, get root no matter the Android version
2) there is a clearly titled post in one of the subforums that will tell you how to get root

I did search the web and the forums; I'm sorry. it was a long day, i had just purchased the phone and wanted to make sure i didn't brick it. I have rooted/jailbroken several other devices but wanted to know if the latest ota update would cause a problem for that.
Again, I'm sorry for for the excess forum baggage.
I'll try again.

ownmoto or whatever?? um... ok... I can tell you haven't browsed the different sections for the Moto X here or you would have seen in the "Moto X Original Android Development" section that its called "PwnMyMoto"
Brokenwall gave you a way to root your sprint device, no matter what stock rom you're running... OTA updates or not. Granted unlocking your bootloader voids your warranty... and he didn't give you a 100% newbie step by step guide which it now seems you were really looking for.
Also in the Moto X Original Android Development is a thread titiled... "[Root] RockMyMoto (Yes, even the first OTA)" which is pretty obvious as to what it is for. If you took a few minutes to read it, you'd know it is what you want if you don't want to unlock your bootloader. Its not a very long thead (141 posts currently) so it wont take long to read. The original post contains everything you need, except how to make sure you have Telnet as part of your Windows install (there are posts in that thread later that say what to do to enable/install Telnet as a Windows Feature inside Add/Remove Programs).
Sorry, if I come across as harsh. I know you just want to root without screwing up your phone, and I get that. But I'm afraid if you haven't been able to look around and find this stuff, you'll likely not be able to properly follow and understand the instructions and will therefore stand a good chance of messing up your phone!!!
OK. I am sorry about the post. I know I'm at the mercy of the forum here.
I was up till 2 am getting this phone unlocked, but when I installed wireless tether it said I was not rooted.
Had to install sdk, get a long unlock code, etc.
Evidently I have yet to attain root access, but its not as though I"m not trying.
I have done rooted/jailbroken a couple times before with my htc evo/iphone, and am fairly computer literate, but I just can't hash this out.
I read this thread, but could not quite make out the steps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509590., The video has no sound, which makes it a little more difficult.
I have also read about an OTA on 10/7 or so that patched some of the root methods, so, at the risk of getting put in my place, I'm humbly coming to ask for assistance in helping get my phone rooted.
Again, I'm sorry for being stuck here and having to ask the question. I would greatly appreciate the assistance of someone who can speak to my specific situation.
Thank you and regards to those who can help.

The steps taken in the video are exactly explained in the post.
There are a few assumptions.. 1. Your PC has telnet on it, or you know how to install it. (there is a link further in that thread which Windows users can follow. 2. You have ADB Driver and Platform tools from the AndroidSDK installed correctly on your PC, and Moto drivers installed. Again, there are threads on this already, so you'll have to find/follow them.
You could also try to follow this post -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47067076 however, it uses puttytel.exe instead of Telnet so it will look a little different. It too assumes you've properly installed ADB Driver and Platform Toos from the Android SDK along with the Moto drivers.
Another option is the "Tool Kit" -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477132 which is an "all in one" type tool that should set things up and help you too. I've not used it, but it appears to be a complete package including ADB and the drivers. Only thing would be if you want to use "Flash back to stock" you need to download the ROM file separately.

Right now, there is the rom the phone shipped with. If you have that, you use PwnMyMoto process to root it. The "camera update" that was pushed over the air. If you have that, you use RockMyMoto. And as of yesterday, if you have Verizon X, there is KitKat which can not be rooted (unless your carrier allows you to unlock your phone's boot loader)
I tried the puttytel thread, but I kept getting a timeout like this guy did:
"After running cydia impactor I see a popup for a second that says payload and then it disappears. I then try to run puttytel but it just keeps failing with "network error: connection timed out"." That was the error I kept getting.
The other problem I am currently having is not being able to push files to my device because it doesnt show up as a drive letter. I have usb debugging enabled.
I would about paypal someone for some help at this point. Bummed. I just want my device rooted so I can send my daughter the one I promised here.

I have no idea why this process has been so difficult this time around. I have rooted, downloaded & installed custom roms, etc.

Isn't this just for the verizon model?
Guys/Gals/Developers.... I'm really stuck, and would greatly appreciate some help.
I have read thru the threads.
I can't get my phone to be recognized as a drive. Only a camera. Yes, I installed usb mass storage from play store. No luck.
I can't push files to the root of the device.
I have to believe it can be done, I'm just not getting it for some reason.
I'm really sorry, as I have said in multiple posts. Like I said, I would paypal you a reasonable sum if one of the more experienced people out there want to remote in via logmein and help. I know that sounds lame. I'm normally a guy who likes to research it all himself and do this.
I'm normally the guy who helps other people with this stuff, but I just can't hash this out. I've spent the last three days of my free time reading, researching, trying to get the thing to connect as a drive so I can push files to it and run them via adb.. Even went so far as considering buying a wireless adapter to put the files there wirelessly. I'd try now but I'm exhausted. If you can help, please PM me and we can work out something if you are willing. Thanks to those who have suggested methods. I do appreciate your help. I have tried them all except the last kit kat method which I thought was just for Verizon. I'm with sprint. As tired as I am, I'm afraid to brick the thing. I'm very close to asking for a method to restore the phone and take it back. I really wanted wireless tether. I need it for work and to run the ipad on occasion. Sorry this was a long post/thread.
Sorry I'm not as quick as the rest of you. Just want a rooted phone and can't seem to get it done this time on my own.
Any suggestions?

No. That will work for any Moto X Developer Edition or Carrier edition with an unlocked boot loader. So T-Mobile, Sprint, etc.. If you can unlock your boot loader via -> https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth then you can root via this process.

To get your phone to show up in windows as Drive Letter, needs USB Mass Storage mode. Ok, You've installed an app for that, fine... but 1. I'm not aware of that app working, and more importantly, 2. I am not aware of any root method in these forums that requires your phone to show as a "drive letter" to work. So I couldn't even begin to suggest what you are doing wrong.
What instructions are you actually trying to follow? Why not post questions on it in that particular thread, including exact details of what you've done, what you see on your phone, any/all errors or messages, etc.???
And if what you really want to do is tether with sprint, I hope you have checked out threads with suggestions on hacks/ways that work to tether on Sprint Moto X before you worry about rooting.
For example, if you want to remain non-rooted, FoxFi could possibly be an option. As I am a Verizon user and haven't used it, I can't say how well it works for Spint, and I can't say how well it works for Verizon, just that Verizon KK users say it doesn't work, but it did with the JB/4.2.2 roms..
KidJoe;
Thanks for your patience. I'm sorry about all of this. I have tried to be as clear as I can be, but I will redouble my efforts. Let me read clearly that last link and I will post back. I do want root access for all the other cool things it enables too, so I'm determined to get it right. I just want to be careful not to miss something and turn a decent phone into a paperweight.
That link you referenced is exactly what I used to unlock. When I reboot the phone, I get a white screen with a red exclamation point that says bootloader unlocked.
Fox Fi is a no go
Update. Just tried Foxfi. Does not work with current status of unlock but not rooted. I need root, but how does one copy files to the device via usb? I remember there being a setting.
I opened a new thread on this subject. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47740046#post47740046
Hope that's not against the rules. I really thing the failure is related to my inability (or ignorance of how to ) push files to the device.
Good gravy. This has eaten up WAY too much time.
Apparently its a mixed bag over at sprint. Some can some can't.

Developer Options are initially hidden from the user on a clean installation. Go to Settings -> About Phone. Scroll down to "Build number" and tap 7 to 8 times to enable Developer Options. Developer Options should now be accessible in Settings.​[SIZE=+1]Q12: I'm running XXX ROM and the developer asked for a logcat. What do I do?[/SIZE]
This will get a bootup log from the device. This requires the use of a PC as well as ADB. Get ADB by installing the Android SDK, or download Minimal ADB with fastboot ( for Windows only ). This also assumes that LG's USB drivers have been previously installed.
Power off device
Open a command prompt in the folder where you extracted the Minimal ADB contents to or where your copy of ADB.exe lives on your filesystem
Type:
Code:
adb -d logcat > logcat.log
and press Enter. You will see "*** waiting for device ***" . "logcat.log" can be any unique name you prefer.
Attach USB cable to PC and Power on device
As soon as you notice life in the device or the LG logo appears attach USB cable to device. The command prompt window will appear to hang. Don't worry. About half way thru the bootanimation the command prompt will return normally. You can then find the logcat in the same folder as ADB.exe.
[SIZE=+1]Q13: I'm running XXX ROM and the developer asked for a dmesg. What do I do?[/SIZE]
This requires the use of a PC and the ADB executable binary. See Q #12 for a link for Minimal ADB for Windows if you don't have ADB installed on your PC.
Open a command prompt window where the ADB binary lives.
Type:
Code:
adb shell su -c dmesg > dmesg.log
and press Enter. "dmesg.log" should be any unique filename of your choosing. You will now find the dmesg log in the same folder as the ADB binary.
[SIZE=+1]Q14: I've flashed a custom recovery but what are the key combos to get there?[/SIZE]
NOTE: This is also how to perform a factory reset if you don't have a custom recovery installed
Power off the device
Press and hold Power + Volume down
When the LG logo appears on the screen, quickly release the Power button, still holding the Volume down button, and press and hold Power again until the "Factory Reset" screen appears. Don't worry, this won't reset the device.
Use the volume keys to navigate up and down and Power to select. Scroll down and select "Yes" and repeat once more. It may take up to 10 seconds for the device to boot to recovery.

This isn't the correct place to ask this question as this is supposed to be a reference thread only.
However, since it's been asked and I'm here, LOL, I use GravityBox [ KK ] for everything you just mentioned. There really isn't any need for most of GravityBox functionality in CM however.

I'd firstly ask IF it will receive the update, and only maybe then when will that happen. Either way, there's basically no info regarding our device, at least no info that I know of. Strangely enough, LG G3 updates will start rolling out this week in Europe (or Poland at least). Interesting to see that, because I don't think any company would risk it to 'test' their major updates this way...

Well, it has sort of been a frequent question lately, thought I'd just answer it. But okay...
my phone is stuck in boot loop CM 11
I have the LG L90 D415 and when I flashed an update through a CM Updater (which was broken and I didn't know this until after the flash) I got stuck in a CM boot loop. Volume Down+Power is not taking me to recovery. What do I do?
I think that there needs to be some editions to this thread, especially for the bootstacks since I see at least 5 people a week on the forums asking about issues related to the bootstacks and things have changed since the KitKat days. If it is possible, we should include update data. I'm sorry if this seems like a bunch @shinobisoft but I think it is necessary

I'll have to do some research on the bootstacks. I never upgraded to CM12 so I never went thru the bootstack issues. I also am no longer using my L90 as I had to change carriers but I still own the device. Work has picked up so much for me that I don't even have the time to answer questions here let alone build any ROMs.

You CANNOT use SuperSU as of yet. Use this app

False. I have been using SuperSU to gain root access for apps that require it. It just fails to update the SU binary (which isn't essential, since it is only a newer version of it).

This doesn't get any further, since it requires a custom recovery to install the new binaries. Stick with SuperSU... after a couple reboots it should successfully be granting root access to applications, but will just continue to peskier about updating the binary (which is NOT necessary at the moment).

Two steps: follow Unlocking the bootloader and Getting Rooted (64bit).
Updates after root
Hi.
I have been using this root method for a while on Australian 510 and its working superbly, many thanks! Of late though, I am frequently being bugged by a recurring notification that there is an update for the phone available, to version 1.50.841.2. I have tried installing the update several times but it always fails. Does anyone know a work around? As an aside, after unlocking the bootloader I got a message that there was an updated HTC Service Pack available but my phone was detected as being modified so the install was not available and I wouldn't get any further notification of updates. What are these service packs? Do they effect system functionality or are they only updates to HTC apps? Is it possible to still install these somehow?
Cheers.
HTC Desire 510eaa

[Q] Partial Root & Update--any problem?

Summary: Started root, didn't complete it (?), then update downloaded.
I began root process last night--my first try--using Towelroot. When I pressed the "Make it Rain" button, I got an error message that my device was not supported (I don't recall the exact words). Using Android 4.4.4.
I've not found a way to continue this, although I see some alternate methods in another thread.
What is apparently going to be a 2-hour over Wifi update from AT&T, is in process. Are there any problems regarding this and proceeding with the root process?

You started two threads asking the same question and your answer is in the AT&T General threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3076803
I did not start two threads with the same question. They were related but distinct., and the second one quoted the first for CONTEXT but the question was different.
They both regarded partial root. One regarded the major upgrade [4.4.4 --> 5.0], the other regarded an SD card. Thanks, and I will look where you pointed me and hope the answers are specific, like my questions were.

I do not see answers to my questions in General AT&T. I'm new here, but I am trying to follow basic forum etiquette. 1. Only one question initiated per thread. 2. Post to the forum that fits best. I feel my post fits under troubleshooting. I'm not just asking out of curiosity, I've put myself into two corners (as I see it). One is, partially rooted my phone then updating my software. The other is, how is my SD card related to the root--should it be (have been) installed prior to my attempt to root. I am here combining my issues in one post to show my belief that they are troubleshooting issues AND I need help before I proceed.
Perhaps there's an underlying question, and I hope I get some feedback. Have I indeed partially rooted, if I got as far as Towelroot's "Make it Rain" command but (not supported) it did not go further? Thanks so much in advance, I'm sure "newbie" would be a compliment.

If you pressed make it rain and then it said device not supported you're not rooted
Not sure? Download Root checker from Playstore
