Tutorial

For quick results, follow these steps: (moderators, please put this tutorial in the main post to help the others. Thanks)

1 - Download the Virtual Box from Oracle - Choose the version that suits to your OS: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

2 - Download the .ova file to use with Virtual Box: https://mega.co.nz/#!ZtRmDITb!Cg6dEwem_N4FKzJDUOvWQjtQoLoN2Ip7UcupGCyVL18

It's mandatory to have access to a wireless connection between your phone and your PC. You can also use other methods, but I really don't know if they are effective.

Download and install the Virtual Box, giving all the authorizations to install some virtual adapters. After doing it, import the "Root_Bionic_JB.ova" using CTRL + I as the screens below (mine is in portuguese-BR, but you'll understand):

Then, press CTRL + S to enable the Virtual Box to detect your phone using the USB Port:

Now, you're ready to begin. Press Start:

Be sure that your phone is connected as Media Device (MTP) and the debugging mode is enabled. Then, follow the path as the screens below and insert the IP configuration which appears at the Virtual Box screen:

Now, see if you phone will show the following screen:

If positive, press enter at the Virtual Box screen and see if it will change, saying that your device is detected. Then, connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable and verify if the Virtual Box will detect it:

If positive, you will need to press enter and follow the process at the screen, as above. Once your phone vibrates, press enter and wait till the next step. Press enter again to reboot.

Congratulations. Now you have a Razr (Maxx) with Jelly Bean rooted.

every time i try to connect to remote storage appear a message saying there is an error in network with remote host
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichelBFR:
Did you installed all the virtual network adapters from Virtual Box?!

VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter is one of them.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] underface:
what is the password for mega.co.nz file?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adaskar:
same here and i installed all network interfaces
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ficus*:
when i go to file -> remote storage and i select add storage, a popup message appears saying "wi-fi is not connected. would you like to connect now?". i have two possibilities: cancel (which returns me to the previous screen) and open wi-fi (which lists me all the available wifis).

unfortunately, i don't have a wifi connection - therefore i can't procede with the process? or am i missing something?

oh, i don't know if this is important, but on the USB configuration screen (in virtual box settings), i have only Motorola XT875, and i'm missing XT910 and XT912. my phone is a XT910 (italiam gsm RAZR)

edit: i manged to add the XT910 in the USB configuration settings by using "add filter from device [alt+INS]", but nothing changed. my phone has USB debugging enabled and it is connected as MTP

download this:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ramdanih:
Working fine.. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichelBFR:
Try to configure the USB detection in the Virtual Box with your phone plugged in your PC. Sure it will appear and you'll be able to check in the list.

Do you have a laptop? You can use it as a wifi router.

I really don't know if you can use the wifi router capability of the Razr to connect itself in the wireless lan.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ramdanih:
My step:

Using a another android phone for thethering..

Connect wifi your PC and Razr from thethering

Follow step by step from MicheleBFR post :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adaskar:
even if i had a wifi connection, i only managed to have root with following your steps :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
Will it work if we connect both the (laptop and RAZR ) with tether . I though pc or laptop should connect to LAN and mobile to wifi and then it can help me outta lolz .

:D:D:D:D:D

Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
Sir u browse xda at work?? ........i have been caught many times looking at xda threads in chem class....... Lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ficus*:
ok it looks like it is mandatory to have a wifi connection to create the file shared folder. i went to a friend's house and i managed to pass the step i was blocked before, but now i get stuck a couple of steps later: the virtual box arrives and displays the "* daemon started succesfully *", but nothing happens next (the virtualbox freezes after sometime). the only difference from the screenshot tutorial it is that the ip address indicated in the virtualbox is different than the one in the screenshot. of course, on the phone i added my virtualbox's ip indication, and i succesfully visualize the shared folder contents on my phone, so i think this is correct.

anyone knows how to pass the "* daemon started succesfully *" message?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichelBFR:
You have to add your phone to the Virtual Box USB settings.

Try to delete any devices that appear on the list. Then add your phone again. Once you get to the black screen with the root process info, go to devices and click on your phone.

So, your phone will be detected and will appear on the screen.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ficus*:
thanks, i managed to root my phone. what changed is that, when i reconnected my phone to the pc, windows installed the drivers for three virtualbox usb ports (which for some reason didn't happen the first time). i also tried your suggestion to delete all the devices in the virtualbox usb configuration screen, so i don't know which one (or both) the things made it work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cyrixleong:
You can try hit the 2ND button on the right add your device manually, then try it again. I think same issue with me for the night when I try to root with virtualbox and now my phone is root :) hope this will helping you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djfirestorm:
I almost lost my mind doing this, added and deleted it probably 8 or 9 times before it took. One thing I noticed on the final one, is when you go to devices and select it, go back and see if it is checked off (not in settings, under the Devices->USB) then it works. Hope that helps those struggling to not give up.lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichelBFR:
:confused:

See the image attached. I found this when I was rooting my sister's Razr (mine is Maxx version). Delete any device in the USB configuration list. Then, start the Virtual Box emulation. Once you get in the main window, connect your phone and check if it appears in the "devices" tab (as the screen). If positive, click on your device and wait to see if the Windows will install another driver.

Disconnect and connect your phone and repeat the last part, check if it appears in the "devices" tab and click on it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] laerun81:
All I did was wait until you get *daemon started successfully*, at which point it will stall waiting for usb. I then use the top menu of virtualbox to select the appropriate usb port, did it one more time and the process took as soon as it found my razr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottdanpor:
Not working for me, the Host IP is always blank. Does this work differently on windows 8 or with a static IP setup?

Edit: Got it sorted. So for any others, this will NOT work if your router is configured for static IP addresses. Set it to DHCP. Also discovered this will not work with a USB 3.0 port.

Ugh... trial and error...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] laerun81:
Host IP is your computers IP address. Open command prompt and type "ipconfig" it will tell you your IP. On a router its usually 192.168.X.XXX or something similar
[Motorola Droid RAZR] davicito75:
Thanks it worked perfect!

I turned on the first try ... but at last I have my phone as I want. (rooted)

thank you!

greetings from Chile!:good::D:cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gjnicholson:
This ran perfrectly. Your instructions are clear and the process is easy to follow.

I had root on the OTA, but wanted to install my preferred sbf and this enabled me to get root.:D

Thanks for your efforts in helping me root my Razr XT 910!:D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] georgiangelov:
Very nice! But I have one problem, after every reboot it tells me SU binary need to be updated, how can i fix this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] By.TRabZonLu™:
!!

I have the same problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] underface:
Update by wifi

Or

You press hardware button when phone vibrated? During rooting?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] By.TRabZonLu™:
cevap

Which one is the hardware button?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] georgiangelov:
Yes..I'll sbf flash JB again and to repeat root process. This time I'll make sure to press that button.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] By.TRabZonLu™:
Which one is the hardware button?

confirmed after the device is opened normally after the vibration, the phone started again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichelBFR:
I had the same problem. I don't know why. Maybe because the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper had a backup that was conflicting with the system. When I applied the root process, the new SuperUser apk gave me that message.

So I deleted the Rootkeeper's backup, deleted the old SU apk and did all the process over again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
Mine just stays stuck on * daemon started successfully * and never does the rest... i followed instructions correctly!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] By.TRabZonLu™:
bmm have my phone. but it went right to the root. share your BMM loaded with root?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
im sorry, was this message for me? if so, i dont understand what ur asking for...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] By.TRabZonLu™:
cevap

How can root through bmm?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheMrcool212:
Boot to the recovery, go to system keeper and select install root.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] By.TRabZonLu™:
There are no files in the root only bmm.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
so can any one help with my issue? as stated above, after following instructions carefully, the program eventually stays stuck on * daemon started successfully * and never does the rooting... any suggestions?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zemaniel:
Confirm, need reconect phone then PC install virtualbox usb port. After this root correctly work. THX.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheMrcool212:
I can't download the file, it asks me to enter a decryption key. Can you please to put the updated link correctly? Because i see there's a three dots in the middle the link.

Help me to root my phone

Hi. I try to avoid posting on this forum but I'm already desperate. Sorry for my english, i have used google translate.

I bricked my phone 2 weeks ago and since then i have a lot of poblems with him with him. I have read hundreds of posts on the forums and still have not reached a solution. I'm not a developer but i`m a good user of the mobile phones.

Let's start:

After my battery died while trying to reinstall a custom rom and I've made ​​my own microUSB factory cable with a glue gun, operation that took 3 hours, I managed to charge the phone about 5 minutes after which I tripped on the way to bathroom and broke it, and i had to spend another hour to stick it back. :))

I finally succeeded to recharge and was able to install on it with RSD lite version << 9.8.2O-fastboot-14_S7_USASPDRICS01RTFE1007.0R_USASPDRJBRTFR_P013_A014_p2b_S1FF_fb_CFC.xml 124_SPUEM>> because no other version would work. I mention that I bought retail phone in Europe (do not know exactly if it is bought in France or elsewhere on the box instructions are written in French). GSM is well understood.

Currently: I have a Motorola RAZR MAXX which is as follows:

No root.

CID can not restore because i think you can`t restore it on a unrooted phone (error says - no access, or something) i`ve tried to restore it with fastboot, cid, and mbm in same folder and with cmd commands.

When i turn on the phone i have to select BP tools that otherwise does not start.

when i connect the phone to my pc the only option to select in notifications is USB debbuging. Media or mass storage device option do not appear, it gives me an error (AT command service stopped), which I guess would be the problem for which I guess it`s wrong because I noticed in a tutorial that both options ,media device and USB debugging should be selected .

I managed to install and follow root steps from the tutorial , worked without any error but when I try to start Superuser and install it tells me <<<(there was an error installing superuser, please send a log of the error.)

I want to root my phone to restore my cid and install a custom root optimized a little better than the crap that I have now.

Please help me! I hope you like my story :)

Thank you with all my heart!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottdanpor:
I had a similar problem, went back to stock with no root and couldn't restore CID. I know you said you tried with commands, but I know this method worked for me. If it doesn't work for you I would say your issue is elsewhere. You may need to re-flash, sounds like there is an issue with USB detection? I hope you get it sorted.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] smiley60:
Hi From some countries it s so difficult to download from mega.It s Crap

So please upload to another uploader if u can

thank you
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bavilo:
For some reason VirtualBox detects my Razr but it says I should check Connectivity Settings. The script simply won't detect my phone...I have no idea why...anyone else with similar issues?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
+1 mine said that at first, but after trying again a couple of times, it recognized it but froze on " daemon started successfully " every time....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Newmak:
I can't download the virtualbox file in Mega. What's the decryptation key for the .ova file?.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichelBFR:
He, accidentally, copied a incomplete link.

Here is the correct: https://mega.co.nz/#!ZtRmDITb!Cg6dEwem_N4FKzJDUOvWQjtQoLoN2Ip7UcupGCyVL18
[Motorola Droid RAZR] beastie-boy:
Had this issue too. Go to USB settings in VirtualBox, delete existing filter(s), add new (will detect XT910) and it should be fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cirith:
Is it really correct? I get a "file not available" screen...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Newmak:
Could anyone upload the file in other file hosting service?.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichelBFR:
Here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?84f3hkx11bpl3fc

Hope it works now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
just did this and it detected it as XT910 too, but it still froze on " daemon started successfully " :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Newmak:
Yes. It works. Thank you.:good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] laerun81:
Hey Luisit, was there just one option to select xt910? Mine showed 2 for some reason and only one of them actually worked. Also I had to select it a couple of times before it started.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
There was only 1 option, "XT910", and I selected it. I did notice that the screenshots posted on page 3 the pc showed 3 devices, and now you say it showed 2, so there must be something I'm missing...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] laerun81:
What OS are you running? I am using windows 8. Not sure if I had to mess with compatibility settings... something to consider though. Also running virtualbox as admin, unlikely to help but who knows?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
windows 7 and i didnt try running VB as admin... might aswell give it another go?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] junior_ilha:
NICE WORK

Thanks a lot.. That was realy easy if you read all information that is givven....

You've just made my day.. Thanks:cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] laerun81:
How did it go? I was just thinking.... do you happen to have another PC available, a laptop for example? Might be worth a try to just switch to a different system and see if it works there. We all know how finikey windows can be at the best of times.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
I actually gave up on the current firmware I was running (Rogers Canada) and decided to try out with the other latam one, Fido Canada (not to mention I had some instability with the Rogers base). As soon as the flash through RSD finished, even before setting up my accounts, I gave it another try... First I checked the usb devices and it showed up just like on the screenshots on page 3, then, as I clicked on start, it installed a driver, a virtual box usb driver, then I just did everything as normal clicking enter on everything and typing in the remote access info and as it prompted to connect the device I did, made sure it was on MTP and usb debugging was enabled and in just a couple of seconds I was finally rooted!!!!!! Maybe it had to do with the base? The Rogers Canada firmware? I don't really know... All I know is I'm finally rooted :D thanks everyone and yourself too for helping me out!

Sent From An Awesome Rooted XT910!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Running great! :)

For those it won't work on first try: Be sure you remove all devices from Vbox USB settings, add only your device, then plug OFF your phone, wait 30 secs and plug it IN, now Windows will install VBox USB drivers. Start Vbox and follow the steps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ghost_razr:
After using this method, i was able to root but now i am stuck at "unable to update su binary" inside superuser. Any solutions?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Make sure you give Super SU root permissions. Otherwise remove any Superuser apps (but DON'T unroot) and install SUper SU from gplay.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ghost_razr:
Had to root again second time, installed Super SU from playstore then gave it root permissions. Now fully on JB!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] laerun81:
Nice! Glad to see you finally got it rooted! That is odd how you had to use the LATAM ROM instead, but at least your enjoying root! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
Thanks! I agree it's odd, maybe it had something to do with me rooting right after I flashed the Rom, without installing any apps nor changing any settings? Either way, I'm now happily rooted :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ssssssssssssssssssssssss:
I'm running british rom without cid it's hard for me to get root since I have to boot through bp-tool is there anyone sucess with out cid?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
No CID backup stored anywhere? I'm not sure if this exploit fully reboots when it goes to black screen... But you may try to press and hold "Vol-Up + Vol-Down" AS SOON as it goes to black screen. If you success it will show the bootmenu to select BP Tools manually and hopefully continue the exploit... That's how we did when I brought up an early root method for the ICS leak kernel some months ago..If I remember right Frasertag also did so. Otherwise check if you have set VBox the right way.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ssssssssssssssssssssssss:
well my one is bricked so I delete cid and flash jb... I already have my cid back up can I restore it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottdanpor:
Yes you can!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] s27moto:
any news about zip file to root without pc
[Motorola Droid RAZR] therazrguy:
Guess what therazrguy is back and alive but needs some time more , by 30th may for sure I will release the how to video to root the razr xt910 and xt912 ..

Don't worry guys, ny school has kept me busy but will help all of you guys,and if possible then some Rom reviews as well

Cheers to all of you :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
Nah not yet I'm even kinda looking for windows version . So i believe we need to wait for little more time to get working windows root method

Thanks!!

Please hit the thanks button if i helped ya in anyways !!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] shakti15:
having network problem . space for host IP address show blank.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichelBFR:
Check if your router has the DHCP feature enabled.

I think it will not work with static IP.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] shakti15:
i checked DHCP is enabled and with dynamic IP
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichelBFR:
Did you installed all the Virtual Box adapters (at the first setup) and give permissions through the firewall (if you're using one)?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] therazrguy:
My device is not detected in the virtual box, any ideas anyone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Knoedelkopf:
Thanks for the instructions, after a few fails it works now! :)

[MENTION=4395722]therazrguy[/MENTION]

Is your phone not detected by your pc or just in the virtual box?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] therazrguy:
Not in the virtual box
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Knoedelkopf:
Okay.

My steps:

Connect the phone via MTP & USB Debugging enabled.

Opened the Virtual Box and enabled my phone in the settings (-> screenshots)

Added remote storage on my razr and filled in the data (host ip, domain-name, username etc.. that is given in the virtual box) (-> another user posted screenshots before, here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40882049&postcount=18 )

Started everything.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] therazrguy:
Do you have the latest drivers ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mojo_69:
Nothing worked for me until i used your guide to root my XT910 GSM phone. Many thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
I have tried and failed to root using this method several times :( I have seen "/storage/rfs0/pwn not found", and with an updated version of the VM image found here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/bi...-easy-root-bionic-stock-4-1-2-jelly-bean.html I get a slightly different "sh: pwn: not found", but in both cases the exploit doesn't appear to get triggered.

Is the "hard way" documented somewhere? I may have more luck with that!

EDIT: I got it working. Turns out you *need* to use the stock File Manager app during the root process, ES File Explorer will not work. Hope this helps somebody in the same position as me!

works perfectly! be sure to not attach your usb cabble untill it is requested and that no moto stuff popsup on your pc!!! i tried for 3-4 times until the virtual machine recognized the phone but then...it all worked up!

We must thank the developer for this virtual machine....he could give us a simple script and a lot of instructions...but he did a lot of work to be as simple as possible for us!
