Trying to root the device. I have the latest OTA update Build SU1-15, and the latest version of Play installed on the phone. I get this error message...

Here's the "RockMyMoto" Root procedure, work's flawlessly, unless there is another way, I'm not aware..Just do (or not) a Titanium back of your apps, copy that backup and all your personal things to your computer storage for returning back to your device, in case of disaster.. Lol..I used this procedure on both my devices..worked great..

Awesome..I miss my unlimited, I was grandfathered from Alltel a few years ago, then when I upgraded a couple years ago..I lost the unlimited..now I pay for 6gb..anyhow..

Do you mean >> Mobile Hotspot.?

If so..there is a pretty simple way after Root is obtained..with an app named "SQLite Editor"..if you need assistance..just ask..take all of a minute or two, then a reboot..there may be another way..but this procedure works simply..

True SS dosen't work yet but there is a root procedure here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2538896. The instructions are a little more involved for the moto x because they already have the 4.4 update and have to downgrade to root. We won't have to downgrade so we only have to follow some of the instructions check it out.

Pwn wont work, try RockMyMoto. Original ROM restorable by flashing the OE fxz file, but qe will still tell root story. Google what you're looking for. Look here for details and how-to's (always on first page of thread/post).

Ok well....where to start??...

Im happily back in the Moto world with a Droid Maxx after a looong dreadful year and a half with a Galaxy S3...before that i had a Droid X for two years so im well aware of dealing with phones that are pretty locked down...

I've been doing some reading but im not sure if ive been reading about outdated methods and such...so basically what im looking for is if someone could give me a quick rundown on the status of things with these phones...

- What is the most up to date root method??...i use a Mac as my main computer and have ADB setup and what not...i can boot into Windows 7 through boot camp if its completely necessary...

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Metfanant:
thanks my man!...now for some questions

1. seems like the root instructions (the google docs link) are pretty windows specific...obviously adb works on Mac...i can also get the impactor software as well...but im not familiar with the telnet part...seems like a windows tool?...is there a Mac alternative? or should i just do this through my Windows partition?...

2. What is the status on a custom recovery for this phone?...seems (based on my reading) that because of write protection on this phones that originally there was an exploit that removed the recovery altogether?..although it seems that this is not the case anymore, and we can at least have the stock recovery while rooted w/write protection off??...

im heading out in a few to catch a midnight showing of The Hobbit so ill be offline till tomorrow, but any additional help will be greatly appreciated...things were VERY different back in the Droid X days, and after the bootloader was unlocked on the VZW GS3 things were pretty easy peasy, so there is some re-learning going on here :good:
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] NWKENT:
Yes..I go back to the Droid X days myself.. :) anyhow..

Yes..the instructions are for Windows OS..proven in Windows 7 Pro..the Telnet is a Windows option that needs to be "turned on"..instructions how to do so are included as for a Mac substitute..I cannot answer that question..and SafeStrap is my recovery..any other method..ask elsewhere..assured..this method is flawless..I own two XT1080M's..and this is a very stable method, simple.. :)

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Einsteindks:
Although, Safestrap is more like a hijack recovery. It doesn't sit in the recovery partition, but is a detour taken early in the startup process. Other than the developer edition, the rest of us have to live with the stock recovery, at best, for now.

fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Metfanant:
cool...looks like tomorrow ill get adb and the like working on my windows partition and ill root...im not super concerned about recovery options for the time being...the Maxx frankly performs significantly smoother than my GS3 did on any sort of combination of ROM/Kernel so as long as im rooted and can use my root related apps again im cool...

what is the status of full blown custom recoveries? is anyone actively working on it for the Maxx right now?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Einsteindks:
Nothing really, but with safestrap a custom recovery is mostly not necessary as it has TWRP built into it.

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] bendrum30:
I have the Developer's Edition and I've been running with Hashcode0f's latest TWRP build for the Moto X.

According to Hashcode: "it will probably work but might have to be adjusted to handle the device name asserts correctly." I believe Skrilax_CZ has made a custom recovery that you can find in the Droid Ultra Original Development forum here on XDA, but I think that is it for now.

Of course, give props to Hashcode, dhacker29, Skrilax_CZ, jcase, and the whole crew who work on this stuff for us.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Einsteindks:
Given Metfan's train of thought, I did not think he had a developer edition, so my response rolled that way. No sense in getting him worked up over something he does not have.,

fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Metfanant:
Correct...normal run of the mill locked down VZW Droid Maxx here...

Can anyone confirm that if I use the Mac versions of all the apps required in the Windows 7 instructions that it will work?

If it helps, I've seen far less Mac problems than Windows problems.

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] bendrum30:

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] fuzzychinsagrero:
So with this method just follow the in screen instructions? Obviously print it out since the screen will be busy? Have experience with root but not like this. Had xt912 so mattlgroff did ask the work for us. All I need are newest drivers, the adb bundle package and that's it right?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] NWKENT:
Yep..follow those instructions to the word.. :)

But..be sure and have all the computer software setup before you even start..and remember to unzip / place the exploit (RockMyMoto) and the cydiaimpactor in the (platform-tools) directory..seems I may have not been perfectly clear of this fact in my instructions sheet, read over this (printed) sheet numerous times before you start..this method has been proven numerous times, effective..

What all do you mean by computer software like all the steps before I actually start the process? Making sure everything is downloaded and ready to go or what else may I need? All this just seems way too much.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] NWKENT:
Be sure and install to your computer, the (ADT Bundle) to your Windows drive, create the bundle its own directory, so as to be less confusing if one is not experienced with the (adb) process..my directory looks like this >>> c:\android sdk\sdk\platform-tools\ and this is where your exploit will be extracted and a folder for (impactor) will be..

A directory that is under c:\ means a lot less keyboarding when it comes time to point to that directory..in your adb screen..

Yup..everything you need has a link in the instructions, except Motorola drivers..and if you have connected your device to your computer before, you should already have those sufficient drivers, but there is driver package one can download for Motorola devices..

What I mean is..have the adb process working, impactor installed, and proper Motorola device drivers..all this software must be working before one even starts the exploit..and of course..the exploit unzip in the directory mentioned..

Is that Droid Maxx 4.4 OTA actually 4.4 because its still 12.15.15, and thats what I have now.(New so I can't link anything yet.)
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] NWKENT:
If your device is 12.15.15..your device is on the last Jelly Bean (aka) 4.2.2 for the XT1080M..

Kit Kat is 4.4 and there is no Root method for 4.4 unless you wanna jump thru FLAMING hoops for Root exploit..AND if you are knowledgeable with adb commands..the Root for 4.4 is possible, but starting from 4.2.2 and doing the hoop jumping to keep Root..

Suggestion..keep on 4.2.2 (JB) until a factory (FXZ) is available for 4.4 and if ever..a do'able Root exploit in 4.4..otherwise, if you are using your primary (daily) device the risk is high to soft brick..and your device be grounded.. until you get thru the hoops.. :)
