I used puttytel.exe, as mentioned from another post of another member. Telnet is on our os for windows but at the time I hadn't bothered to activate it, if you just Google puttytel.exe you'll find your link. As the poster of his thread stated you do NOT need the entire directory of files, only the .exe file.

Then when you run cydia impactor you just open putty, type in your IP and change port from "22" to "2222" and run it. Dialog box will pop up just lime a telnet box.

Same method just a different program

So does that mean if 4.5 or whatever comes next is released I won't be able to upgrade? I came from a Galaxy Nexus on KK and I enjoyed it though I'm enjoying JB just as much.

Just would hate being stuck on KK for the next 2yrs

JB is only going as high as 4.2.2-12.15.15. The next upgrade to 4.4 is KK. If you make the jump to 4.4, future updates will be KK. So I believe NWKENT is suggesting that you play with 4.2.2-12.15.15 for a while instead of heading directly to KK on 4.4.

I just picked up the VZW Droid Maxx and it is already OTA KitKat.

A lot of those will be upgraded... Most people just click ok when a popup appears.

You might want to check swappa. Prices can be better than eBay and most sellers can be asked, and will know, if they are on 4.2 or 4.4.... Just a thought.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] NWKENT:
Yes..I have contacted many of the sellers on EBay..and there almost all on 4.4 Kit Kat..

This seller has two on 4.2.2 JB as of two days ago..if you find a Public Maxx on JB..it is gold..I thought of purchasing one, but since I already have more than one Maxx..I ordered a Moto XDEV instead..it came with 4.4.2 KK..

Search this in EBay search bar >> NEW MOTOROLA VERIZON DROID MAXX 32GB XT1080M GSM FACTORY UNLOCKED CLEAN ESN

The auction doesn't state JB OS..I contacted them..they assured me that he had two on JB..I was searching for a Maxx on JB for a friend of mine in Italy..I think he may have ordered one of them.!

So just to clarify you were in recovery with write permission and made changes then rebooted normal to no writer pernission and it undid your changes. So you then repeatd but booted a second time into recovery then into normal boot and they stuck.

Thank god these phones reboot in like 5 seconds or this would suck.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] jcase:
If you want to edit system you need it to return 0, to get it to, just reboot to recovery
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
That is exactly how it went down. On the second try with the reboot to "write mode" I got the "androidbis upgrading" dialog pop up thingymajig (super high tech term right there). I assume this is what made the change premanate and still required write protection to be disabled.

Now these were gapps so idk if thats why the double recovery boot was needed or if this is going be for all apps/changes.

Im not sure I just installed the stock google keyboard which is themed with colors I had to delete the stock keyboard then install the apk but I did not have to do what you did above.

No. First time I installed it, I DL'd directly to phone, from link in OP and ran it. It did reboot 3 times. I was coming from 1.1 on his first root method.

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] One2thTEXAN:
It replaces/overwrites the previous method, so I want to say yes. But if you want to wait for more confirmation, do so.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] melfunn:
I installed the apk posted in the OP. Problem I am having, is with Supersu. It won't update the binaries. I know I am rooted because when I adb to check if recovery is write protected, I get a return of "0". Also, I used adb to uninstall Supersu. Does the "id" represent the device id? I've used the play store supersu as well the ver. initially posted for d/l on the other thread that jcase had provided(09/14/2013).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was able to undo the root. I went into the superuser app into its settings click the option to full unroot. Then I was able to root again. i guess this is a workaround for hard resets since you cant with this root method.

I get the thread discussion here, but my question still stands. Just because of that guys want to be rooted. Whether it comes from this method or another.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] BladeRunner:
I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, but, yes if you have an unlocked bootloader you can root 4.4. If you do NOT have an unlocked bootloader, then there is no direct way to root, you need to have been rooted on 4.2.2 using RockMyMoto, use MotoWpNoMo to turn off WP and slapMyMoto to get root on 4.4. Taking the OTA to 4.4.2 disables Write Protection after a reboot but you retain root.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] AreOh:
The question was if on 4.4, stock and unrooted, could you unlock the boot loader and then get root. I get confused around different threads regarding this.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] TolaSkamp:
How can you check to see if the bootloader is unlocked?

Sent using Tapatalk 2
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] nimdae:
This information really is all over the place.

Yes, you can unlock the boot loader. As to the cost, a "free" method is still not available for non DE devices. Once the boot loader is unlocked, there is nothing to stop you from rooting.

The easiest way to tell if your boot loader is unlocked is to reboot normally. If you see a scary looking warning about the boot loader being unlocked, which may result in your untimely death, or even the end of the world, then your boot loader is unlocked.

This is really off topic from this thread. You don't even have to use the search function to find this information because almost all of it is on the first page of their respective forum.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] AreOh:
Is this was directed to me, I haven't physically checked, I'm just assuming it is since I purchased the phone at a Verizon store. And the only update I've applied was the camera update.

The information being "all over the place" is really what's confusing me. If it were in this forum I'd have a much clearer understanding. And I'll admit that I do skim through threads in the X forum because it has so many pages. I really want to just know what can and can't be done. Also, what's the easiest method. I never used adb or any of the things mentioned in this particular thread. But, sorry for the slight derailment.

Just wondering

If everybody wants there phone unlocked why not go here unlockunit seems like a real company that does this. I've never tried this but seems they have been around a while doing this.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] br0adband:
You're confusing a cellular unlock aka SIM unlock (to allow you to use a cell phone on a different carrier than the one that sold it) with a bootloader unlock (which allows you to root/install custom ROMs/firmware/experiment/etc).

They are two hugely different things.

Besides, the Droid Ultra/MAXX/Mini are already unlocked from the factory for GSM operation - you just put a nanoSIM from whatever carrier you want in the nanoSIM slot and fire it up. It'll complain about it being a SIM card from an unknown source but it will work just fine. I use my Droid Mini (and previously I had a Droid MAXX) with T-Mobile without issues, all I had to do was add the APN fast.t-mobile.com to get the proper compatibility.

The Droid Ultra/MAXX/Mini are bootloader locked from the factory and the codes "from that Chinese guy" were used to unlock the bootloader which would allow pretty much complete access to everything on the phone including the ability to install custom ROMs/firmware as you please. Without an unlocked bootloader the best you can hope for is to be able to root the device and use Safestrap but you'd still be limited to using ROMs/firmware that use the same kernel that already exists on the device (meaning if you have 4.2.2 Jelly Bean you couldn't use 4.4/4.4.2 KitKat ROMs or firmware because of the kernel differences).

4.4 Root/unlock

I am in the same predicament and I was wondering if doing a system restore would this help me to get around this?

There isn't even a developer's option or a debugging setting.

I'm at a loss because I had an HTC when they first came out and than 2 Motorola phones afterwards. I had all three set up with custom ROMs etc. I am at a complete loss.

Is it worth it to do a system restore once the phone has had the OTA updates?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] NWKENT:
To activate "Developer Options" do this >> Settings\About phone\Build number..then press on Build number seven times, a notification will indicate "you are now a developer" ..then back out to " Settings"..scroll down to "Developer options"..

As for Root..nothing you can do at this point, a reset/restore will not help..

Most do not understand why the devices are very difficult to gain Root, even if it is possible..DON'T blame Motorola..Google and Verizon are your cause..people have become silly over security..
