Well I have rooted a tablet(cheap Chinese garbage), and SEVERAL instances of android SDK from eclair to jelly bean.

And I did not say this was permanent I figured everyone would see this as a TEMPORARY-ROOT(something to get us going until a better method comes available).

And remember z4root on froyo? probably not, my method is almost like that one.
[Droid Ultra General] wolfgart:
Your skills are welcome , Bro !!!

We work hard on this project

sent from my DROID MAXX
[Droid Ultra General] redpipe:
Yes, I used z4root on my samsung intercept a few years ago. z4root used the same method to install files but still used an exploit (rageagainstthecage) to get root. Plus, Android SDK is not a production build.
[Droid Ultra General] luisdev:
would be great for me avre the root without unlocking the bootloader for droid maxx, but there are hopes to see him soon an exploit?

$ 10 I would spend them.
[Droid Ultra General] wolfgart:
This is a "Bounty" thread , so we are spending time and money to have some Devs can works on it , so you can leave here your contribute .

I'm down for $20. We'll see if this exploit or the Moto X exploit hits first :) I either way, I think we'd have a winner.
[Droid Ultra General] Picolini:
Ahhh, **** it. Put me down for $10 USD. Hopefully this comes SOON.

Payment will be via PayPal, yes?

Also, OP, you wrote "FRIST" instead of "FIRST".

It will more than likely be the same method for both phones. The X also has a bounty thread so with that bounty and this bounty it's up to about $1300.

Hey...

I have owned a HTC Wildfire S before n don't have much experience with Motorola... How do you check if bootloader is unlocked?! Switch off and pressing power while holding down the Volume rocker? Does it help to achieve root easily if bootloader is unlocked?

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Isnt the Moto X rooted already except for the AT&T version?!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2430593
[Droid Ultra General] meddy6407:
Only on Rogers, not Verizon or AT& T.
[Droid Ultra General] 181charan:
Ohh.... What about accessing the bootloader part?! :)
[Droid Ultra General] meddy6407:
I think you had it right for booting into fastboot. On previous devices you would be able to see if the boot loader was unlocked in fastboot. And of course if it was unlocked, root access is typically easy.
[Droid Ultra General] 181charan:
EDIT! I was WRONG!
[Droid Ultra General] meddy6407:
Cool! :)

I'm sure someone here that knows more than I do may be able to use that info. Are you on AT&T?
[Droid Ultra General] wolfgart:
Great to know this ! But it's a Droid MAXX ???

Hope some Dev can do tests with you and your phone :good: Who knows if possible to do a reverse enginering about bootloader....

Checked mine in Fastboot, says : Locked :(
[Droid Ultra General] 181charan:
EDIT: I was given some WRONG info!
[Droid Ultra General] wolfgart:
uhm ?
[Droid Ultra General] 181charan:
EDIT:-

Actually my friend owns the phone and he was trying to show off with that pic he got from the net!
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
can we clarify, thats a moto x right? and where did it come from? that moto logo isnt on any of the production models, but it was on all of the leaked photos of motorola test/development devices.

also dose anyone know what (MS) is about, mine just says (S), (after "AP Fastboot Flash Mode") granted mine is definitely locked so idk what to make of this also i dont have "Switch consloe"
[Droid Ultra General] wolfgart:
right ....
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
you know what, i think this is an ultra. look how narrow the gap is between the ear speaker and the top of the screen the x is twice a wide right there. hopefully charan can give us some more info. this is really random
[Droid Ultra General] 181charan:
Yeah its an Ultra... :)

Okay Please ignore the damn pic! :-/ My friend gave me that pic and it was from somewhere on the net with the leaked stuff from a developers phone! His phone is actually locked! :-/

Okay ppl wont believe me anymore! Going away!!
[Droid Ultra General] meddy6407:
OK, what phone model do you have and which carrier are you on?

**ops just saw u posted.

**** Sorry to derail thread op.....put me in for $20.00
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
You can tell me where too get one! Lol jk. I wouldnt go into detail either if i were you. But that is very cool. Maybe a screen shot of the about phone menu might help? Maybe well gt really lucky and you've got an earlier kernal that is more exploitable like with the s4. Of course if for kind enough to provide that go ahead and blank out ur ESN. We don't want to gt u busted for anything :)
[Droid Ultra General] 181charan:
My friend got that pic from the net bro! Sorry for getting ur hopes up high! It was indeed from the leaked stuff n not his phone! :(:(:(:(
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Well that sucks butt

Hey thanks for trying to contribute anyway we all gt bad info some times. Even when you really are on the inside.
[Droid Ultra General] dobo84:
I'll throw 20$ to get it rooted but keep in mind drJbliss said these new moto device would be incredibly hard to root or use a custom recovery.

---------- Post added at 03:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ----------

He didn't say these exactly but future moto devices. And these are now the future devices

[Droid Ultra General] wolfgart:
no , cause to use this tool , Phone must be rooted before unlock bootloader
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Yea, but while were on the subjects of fans work has anyone tryed moto chopper on the 12.7.4 build? My maxx came out of the box with 12.7.7 so I couldn't try. I wonder if all Max shipped with 12.7.7?

I'm on 12.7.7 too

[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
On launch most came with the 7.4 and guys were alerted to the update. I got mine on Aug 30 and either it had 7.7 on it already or the Verizon sales person updated it for me.
[Droid Ultra General] wolfgart:
on Razr Maxx , root is arrived before unlocking bootloader. So could be the same for us
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
If you have your box what s/w version it shipped with is on there.

I've updated to 7.7 . my phone was originally 7.4

[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Ok cool so that awnsers that question. Did you try motochopper first. I'm mostly sure it wouldn't make difference but a first hand account could help the cause.

[Droid Ultra General] One2thTEXAN:
I tried motochopper on 7.4 before I updated to 7.7 and no go.
[Droid Ultra General] jamontoast1291:
Mine also came with 7.7, got it last Tuesday.
[Droid Ultra General] morphius2036:
OK we have a bounty page but I don't see anyone talking or any root discussions.

I am not a Dev but have assisted in the past for the Droid Eris and Moto DX2.
[Droid Ultra General] luisdev:
maybe write something obvious but you have to track down who developed motochopper
[Droid Ultra General] Dr. Carpenter:
That would be Dan Rosenberg, but rumor has it he's retired from rooting due to the increasing difficulty in finding exploits
[Droid Ultra General] luisdev:
but there are root exploits for Android version 4.2.2? then if they are kernel are almost identical, this might suggest some idea to have some developer Dan Rosenberg to try then there are the dollars up for grabs.
[Droid Ultra General] Dr. Carpenter:
I don't know enough about the process so I just assume it's not that easy. If it was, we would have root already. And if Dan says it's hard, it's really hard. That guy has rooted just about everything.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Yea, unfortunately no devs have jumped in with anything interesting so we just kinda been brain storming very general stuff.
[Droid Ultra General] gunnyman:
Please retract my pledge. I have the AT&T Moto X and I'll only be donating to the bounty for My phone.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
This is against the rules of the bounty, and truly bad form especially seeing as how in all likely hood any root method for these device will work on your moto x regardless of carier. That being said I will remove you pledge from the total in fairness to the bounty claimer.
[Droid Ultra General] radzer0:
Someone needs to send dan the phone. Than he will want it on his own phone :)
[Droid Ultra General] One2thTEXAN:
Patience. Can't say it enough. :cool:

That's the first thing on my list after I win the lottery :)

Please put me down for an additional $20. I will cover the retracted amount. I would hate to see the amount go down. I pledged $20 before so I will pledge $40 total.

Thanks man we all appreciate that, if I could afford it id have done it myself if could afford it but I'm poor at the moment. So a double thanks from me. I'll up date now.
[Droid Ultra General] jcase:

[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Just heads up to everyone Verizon is supposedly working the first service update for the droid line now, it tentative release date is October so keep an eye out for it next month.
[Droid Ultra General] Piaband:
Can you refuse updates?
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Couldn't say for sure. Vzw are sneeky bas***ds but hopefully it will be the same as it is now. As soon as it goes out I'll put up the change log and see if it patches the coming exploit.
[Droid Ultra General] One2thTEXAN:
Pretty sure you can refuse it. But I'm also pretty sure that you have to set it to "remind you later."

So I usually set it to remind me 24 hours later. It's an annoyance, but is effective. :cowboy:
[Droid Ultra General] redpipe:
No, you can't refuse the updates but you can postpone them for up to 24 hours at a time. After you are rooted you can to disable to OTA app, but until then be careful.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Yeah but if we get root before the update just use voodoo and protect root take update and restore root. Best of both worlds.
[Droid Ultra General] raichur0xx0rz:
Yes, definitely be careful - I was refusing the release day update for a while and it randomly popped up while I was texting and I ended up accepting it since the Install option was over the keyboard...
[Droid Ultra General] morphius2036:
JCase is the ****...not much on the personality or patience with noobs but knows his mess.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
If we get root I'm pretty sure there's an apk you can freeze/delete to stop the prompt
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Yes there is, my point is you don't have to as long as you protect root.

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Motorola and Verizon should spend less time trying to screw us out of root and more time trying to make the UI and OS better.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Ture , but dose that work 100% of the time? I know 4.3 is supported for it.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Verizon shouldnt have damn thing to do with our UI or OS. Lol
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
True but they are the reason the phone is so locked down that was my point.
[Droid Ultra General] :
Sounds very promising. Looking forward to hearing more. :)
[Droid Ultra General] jcase:
Hello. I plan on collecting this sometime between tonight and saturday night, depending on time.

I need a dump of /system/app posted from each device that support is required for, and each firmware variantion for that device.

MotoX for AT&T and Verizon are already supported
[Droid Ultra General] TruEastSydeBoi:
Hopefully someone will dump for Verizon - Droid Maxx. Mine has yet arrive.
[Droid Ultra General] @work:
Let me know how to make the dump and I will get on it. I can post it to bittorent or whatever the favored file host is. I am on a moto maxx and working from home all day. Will I be revealing any personal info by doing this?
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Any one have a link to a good tutorial on how to do a system dump without root? Sorry Google search is giving me bs awnsers.
[Droid Ultra General] @work:
Is this dump good enough?

adb pull /system/app
[Droid Ultra General] @work:
Ok pulling now, Is there a prefered host? My personal information is not at risk here right? Data is stored in another location?
[Droid Ultra General] jcase:
adb pull /system/app

then zip the pulled files, upload to whatever works for you, no personal info is at risk

I have Verizon and AT&T MotoX done,

I need Droid Maxx/Ultra/Mini and whatever else needs root
[Droid Ultra General] redpipe:
No personal information is included, these are just system apps that come with the phone. It shouldn't include any user data at all. Host shouldn't matter.
[Droid Ultra General] @work:
I have it uploading to google drive atm, but here is a torrent of the file if you don't want to wait. I believe all my proxies are disabled so you should be able to connect to me.

The google drive folder where the torrent and the zip will appear is here

I need 1 person with a mini and ultra to pm me. Be available, and be competent as well as have adb and be able to get on IRC.
[Droid Ultra General] jcase:
Maxx confirmed, Ultra looks good but untested, i need a dump from the mini
[Droid Ultra General] asuhoops8628:
pretty sure i am going to buy a maxx now... coming from OG Maxx.

Is there a particular firmware I will need to be on in order to run the exploit.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

wonder what the odds are that root apps like safestrap would work out of the box....

my guess is very slim :/
[Droid Ultra General] redpipe:
If that torrent isn't working, I uploaded my Maxx /system/app dump here

http://www.sendspace.com/file/9stbkr
[Droid Ultra General] @work:
Someone is downloading a copy now, but the link to google drive is working now and should be much faster. Looks like the MAXX already got its root though.

The version I uploaded is from the firmware that shipped with the device, I have been dodging the launch day update since day one.
[Droid Ultra General] luisdev:
I have the droid maxx waiting to have root access, in annoy some messages posted by verizon sim unknown that open a window every time you start it and the data line off, it is absurd that verizon insert these things ruining the Android system with the complicity of motorola and google, I do not follow, but it is used for the dump? what they do?

ps

thanks to those who it is affecting root exploit
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
I am no expert by any means but I believe hashcode has to make a safstrap for each individual os unless they are very similar so I would imagine the moto x, maxx, mini, ultra would use the same SS. But an existing SS would not work.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
It actually might be worth a try, a accidentally ran the RAZR HD as on a RAZR m and it booted but the buttons to go to the actual recover when push off the screen due to the difference in screen size. I'll give it a shot asap
[Droid Ultra General] AWD FTW:
Wooo patiently waiting for root to be released for Maxx. Good work Jcase
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Thats my point the razr line was very similar I hope it works but I am not holding my breath. Whats the worst that can happen you brick it :cool:
[Droid Ultra General] Indirect:
Still need the ultra and mini users to pm me...
[Droid Ultra General] blue26:

[Droid Ultra General] b4ifuru18:
You and I both my friend, you and I both. I've been waiting for two weeks to get Tasker working..... Its so close now!
[Droid Ultra General] dobo84:
Might be even better news coming...
[Droid Ultra General] mistermojorizin:
this is my first droid. does droid report if it's rooted, even if bootloader remains locked? if so, where/how?
[Droid Ultra General] Dr. Carpenter:
Saw the tweet, for those of you that didn't, jcase said it's looking like we'll be able to load roms. At this point, I couldn't care much less about roms, just want root apps to work. If we do get roms, I'm hoping someone makes one based on stock with features added so we can keep active notifications and whatnot.
[Droid Ultra General] Picolini:
Motorola collects phone statistics on various things like charging times, apps, and they are away of when your device is rooted. The only impact should be an issue if you try to get a replacement or repair under warranty. You may not be covered if a manufacturing defect arises.
[Droid Ultra General] dobo84:
Sorta will need to be a stock ROM.. Cyanogen would be useless since we don't have a led for notifications.
[Droid Ultra General] :
If we can get a full unlock I'm talking boot loader, customer recovery, root, customer roms, the works I'll pledge $60.00.

I just want to also take the time to thank the guys taking time out of their personal life to work on this. I'm pretty knowledgeable with technology and what not but this far exceeds what I can do in coding with Linux.

So here's to you soldiers of android and your dedication for a wonderful OS.
[Droid Ultra General] b4ifuru18:
I'm pledging $50 just for Root.
[Droid Ultra General] VandyCWG:
I would be shocked for a bootloader unlock, as they have been locked down for awhile. But for a bootloader unlock, I would dig into my couches and throw cash down.
[Droid Ultra General] One2thTEXAN:
I couldn't care less about a bootloader being unlocked. I'm over the whole matching the right kernel, radio and rom just to TRY and make everything work a 100%. It's ridiculous. Nothing ever works a 100%, if it did, these forums would be worthless other than to grab downloads.

There is absolutely nothing performance wise on this Maxx I want changed. I could free up space and be themed and it would be perfect. Just my two cents.

[Droid Ultra General] sabbotage:
Care to elaborate since nobody else asked?
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Jcase Posted that it looks like we will be able to load Roms I take that one of two ways either he has a custom recovery working on the phone or an unlocked boot loader. Feels like Christmas the anticipation of opening my present.
[Droid Ultra General] :
Yup, I'm totally cool with those that like to load custom ROMs and what-not. For me, I only want root so I can permanently remove the bloat. The ability to backup/restore is just icing on the cake. I'm very happy with Moto's skin as it's as close to stock as you're going to get on a carrier-subsidized phone not made by Apple. :laugh:

Also wanted to say thanks to those that are taking time out of their personal lives to do this for the Android community. I'm sure the bounty helps ;) but even then, you have a life, job, family, etc., and I'm sure this takes away from it. So thanks for what you do.
[Droid Ultra General] jcase:
more like I was informed safestrap is a possibility
[Droid Ultra General] spiral777:
I'll pledge $20, $30 if I could get a description of your troubleshooting process as to how you achieved root... I'm always wanting to learn more
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Thanks for the update I thought unlocked boot loader was pushing it but a guy can dream.
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
jcase - with the maxx root, does that include the OTA that went out like a week or so after release? i think the update was 12.7.7 software version based on VZW docs i see online
[Droid Ultra General] jcase:
we shall see i guess, on release, because i dont know what firmware it was tested on
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
That update came at launch, and it seems many came with it out of the box. I got mine on 9/5 and it was preinstalled. So it sound like the odds are in our favor. And I've seen the full (not from Vzw site) change log and it dosnt state there's any security updates/fixes.
[Droid Ultra General] darksizzle:
I have a mini and I will get you the /system/apps folder for it. But I'm in Colorado and in the National Guard and they called me to help with the floods but if someone hasn't helped you by them I will get it to you when I get home.
[Droid Ultra General] One2thTEXAN:
All the 12.7.7 update was for, was mobile wallet and wifi reminder time change. Pretty sure it wasn't for exploits. :)
[Droid Ultra General] gotsaved289:
So just curious is there an ETA for the release of the root method?

OUCH!!! Easy with that ETA stuff huh! These guys are doing their thing. Some poeple have a tendency to get a little cranky when asked. Just a thought.......................
[Droid Ultra General] jimmydafish:
Currently he has neither. Also he is not working on the bootloader, it is still locked.
