Looking for some help if possible.

I'm currently unrooted on 4.4

Jcase just released SlapMyMoto which requires downgrading and then some similar steps to RockMyMoto.

My biggest issue here is that I do not want to downground until I'm sure everything seems to be working properly. I have drivers installed and ADB seems to recognize my device fine.

But when testing Cydia Impactor, It starts to run and then says "signature bugs unavailable." Before I begin the process, I'd like to get all the programs working. Any reason why I might be getting this error message?

Edit: Would this only work once I'm already on 4.2.2 instead of 4.4? And so I can't test it until I downgrade?
[Moto X General] tejaskary:
Yeah looks like it works only on 4.2.2, thats why he is asking us to downgrade....I don't think its very risky to downgrade, you can always take the OTA to 4.4 or flash FXZ for 4.4 as well, these are available for VZ now....Multiple people have downgraded and confirmed it was working fine...Ofcourse you will lose all data, I just backed up everything using the Moto X toolkit and am preparing to downgrade

Newb Help

Through a lot of trial and error, I was finally able to root my Droid Maxx. Thank you for the help.
[Moto X General] ahjee:
So I previously used this method and all was fine. i then I tried to use a method to make system r/w without having to reboot into recovery and it worked but I had an issue with an app...so i restored back to stock...anyway, now when i try to use this method to gain root i cannot seem to complete this process...i complete steps one through 3, but step four when you repeat the process is where things don't seem to work successfully . I repeat one through three and it doesn't auto reboot at all for me
[Moto X General] ahjee:
okay, so like i have mentioned, i did use this method to root my phone but for some reason it will longer work.

Here is a screen shot of what is going on so far.

I followed steps one through three and before i even used adb reboot this is what it has said.

Once I do type ADB Reboot it makes no change.

I have RockMyMoto.jar and the Su in my "sdcard" so i don't see that being the problem.

Any ideas?
[Moto X General] ahjee:
anyone have any idea what i am doing wrong? i just restored my back to stock, so its completely clean, no apps other than stock, no settings changed except usb debugging is on but, i put the two files within the RockMyMoto zip in my sd card and follow the steps and as you see it does not wokr for me
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
You didn't by chance run motowpnomo did you?

via my slapped KIT KAT moto X
[Moto X General] ahjee:
Um I did before yes but since then I have restored to stock a few times, is this something that persists through a restore?

Also I should mention I am a Droid Ultra user
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
Yes. Once you disable write protection using motowpnomo it is permanent. I know an updated version of slapmymoto is in the works for rooting 4.4 after wp disabled, but I don't know about rockmymoto.

Can anyone give me some insight on how to start a telnet session. I've watched the video many times and there's no specific instructions.
[Moto X General] DanielNTX:
Use putty (google it) or install telnet from add/remove features in Windows.
[Moto X General] ahjee:
So even though I've restored the stick firmware of 12.15.15 it is still rewritable? That's crazy, I don't recall the op stating this... Wish I had known

If you have an unlocked bootloader already what should you do then? :o I want to keep stock recovery but root it, since that would probably explain why this hasnt worked for me..:S

OK so i guess that i am worse than a Newb. I have adb installed and can connect to my phone. I have my IP address. I have downloaded both the needed Apps & after I input my IP and port 2222 a new window opens..before i can type in (dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto) it always times out. I am also unclear where the RockMyMoto & SU should be placed. Can someone help?

Hey.. I've pushed to SD card like ordered but I know there isn't an SD card on Droid Ultra, so what is the equivalent file location for it? Otherwise the guide is great.
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
I think it is still SD card. Even though it is internal.

It doesn't work nevertheless. It shows a bunch of things involving the RockMyMoto.jar thing and Java etc.

Any help with this or is there another way to root?:confused: still on stock 4.2.2
[Moto X General] ks73417:
Make sure you have wifi turned on the phone, Tethering off and both your phone and the computer that you are using to do ADB are connected to the same network/router.

Nice Share. Rocking my MOTO:good:
[Moto X General] matthewthemanparker:
I'm having the same problem.
[Moto X General] koocheese:
The OP doesn't mention the adb push commands which puts the 2 necessary files on the sdcard.

Use these instructions along with jcase's instructions (where you downloaded RockMyMoto) and you'll be rooted just fine.
[Moto X General] panicfreek:
OK i hate this phone and I wish the forums were cleaned up HAHA where on my puter do i put the SU & RockMyMoto files? do they go in the same folder as ADB? they don't seem to be pushing through to the phone..telenet is now connecting thank goodness
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
Yes. Put those files in your fastboot folder.

slapped the sh*t out of my X
[Moto X General] panicfreek:
Where is that? I have been trying to add these two files with ADB. is that not right?...ahh what happened to Razr Blade :crying:

i am so sick of this thing..
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
So you should have adb installed on your PC. Put those files in SDK platform tools. Along with all the other files you will need.

slapped the sh*t out of my X
[Moto X General] koocheese:
Yes! Unzip both files into the same folder that you have ADB and fastboot in.

Hold "Shift" and right click, select "Open command window here" from within your ADB folder.

Ensure your phone has USB debugging enabled and plug your phone in via USB.

Type "adb devices"

If you don't see any devices listed, then figure out why your ADB isn't seeing your phone. (search terms like "how to set up adb on windows #")

If you do see devices listed, good, proceed to type the following.

adb push su /sdcard/

adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/

I don't believe either will return a message, but if you wanna check, use a file manager and look at the root of sdcard. Who knows, perhaps you can even bluetooth/wifi transfer the 2 files onto your sdcard, but you'll need adb working regardless for the next steps.

Now you may follow the rest of the directions of this thread starting at step 1.

If you're still having troubles, I recommend you start from scratch, read both this and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47065174#post47065174 or Google it!
[Moto X General] panicfreek:
thanks so much for the help..turns out it was ADB not installing correctly (at least I think that's what It was) used the new install for ADB & everything worked fine... Win64 can sometimes being a pain

No sd card for Moto X, where do I push the files?

My Moto X (Republic Wireless) doesn't have an SD Card slot, so there is no sd card directory. Where do I push the SU and RockMyMoto to root the phone?
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
Just type it in like it says. You still have internal storage.

Slapped the sh*t out of my X
[Moto X General] jacobjapan:
I tried that but it told me that the directory wasn't found.
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
Are you opening up your command prompt from adb? Are the files you need to push in your fastboot directory?

Slapped the sh*t out of my X
[Moto X General] jacobjapan:
Yes to the first question and I have the RockMyMoto folder in the fastboot directory, should I put the two files that are in that folder into the fastboot directory?

The sdk is stored on my C drive. So it's C:\android-sdk-windows\sdk\platform-tools\adb

In the ADB folder is the RockMyMoto folder. Here's a screenshot of what I get when I try and root it.
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
Yes. Take them out of the folder

I got puttytel to work

Hey guys if your still having the problem of getting puttytel to work

I noticed that the Ip address I was putting in the puttytel, which I got from doing a google search of "what is my IP address" is wrong

so what I did is I went to the google play store and downloaded on my cell a app called "WiFi File Transfer" and when you open it up and click on the start button a window opens up and it will give you a address the section before the : is the IP address of you phone .... example my window says : 192.168.1.XXX:1234 (x= numbers) so my IP address I put into puttyle is 192.168.1.XXX (leaving off the :1234) and it worked

you don't need the app other than just to get that number but I would write it down as you need to enter it a few times

now before that I also looked on youtube and found "adb win 7" which had a good video of how to install android SDK but I don't think in the end I needed that

ok well in the end my cell is rooted ... good luck:good:
[Moto X General] jkalmoni:
Aggravated....

Hello community. Ii need help. I am sure that can get this root to happen, but I am finding myself annoyed that there isn't a true start-to-finish thread on this and i am stumped. Here's the deal...

I have PuttyTel,SimpleADB, the RockMyMoto file. I have been able to locate the devices ip address but keep getting stuck at basically 'file can't be found" when running the exploit to push RockMyMoto to the handset. I think JCase stated in his video where to put certain files prior to running adb/Putty, but that video's audio will no longer play. Can some please help me with this? I have never had such a hard time rooting a device and frankly, Im getting discouraged. thanks in advance.
[Moto X General] ws6race:
Hey i was doing alot of overkill to try to get this to work but after watching youtube video adb win7 i put a copy of the su and RockMyMoto.jar in the c: location ....

Also i connected my cell made a sdcard folder (there isnt one) and put a copy in there ....

After that i ran everything through puttytel and followed only the steps on the start of this post and it worked ... I had to close and reopen both purtytel and cyidia and go through the steps 3xs ... Hope this somewhat helps
[Moto X General] jkalmoni:
To be more specific, what files need to be placed where. Sorry I didn't make that clear previously.
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
Put the files from the rockmymoto. Zip in your fastboot directory. Unzipped of course.

[Moto X General] jkalmoni:
OK, so my adb placement should be (unzipped) c:/minimalADBandFastboot/? I'm using MinimalAdb and I see fastboot within the folder, but no fast boot folder specifically... (I really appreciate all the help here, btw.)

[Moto X General] jkalmoni:
Yeah...what? Where? I wish someone would give me a .."step1: download this file and put it in this folder, step 2: etc..." A recent link indicated that "MinimalADB and Fastboot" program would suffice for the adb functions needed...so that's what I have...do I have to go get the android SDK? If not, what files from the RockMyMoto zip need to be put into what folder so that when I run the exploit, the RockMyMoto.jar is found? Do I need to put any other files into any other obscure locations to make this all work?
[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
You don't need the SDK. but when you download and install ADB it gives you an SDK folder. In that folder you have a platform tools folder. Put the files in there

[Moto X General] jkalmoni:
Still not getting it...

OK, so I appreciate the quick responses. The problem is, I am still not getting the answer to my question.. just getting bits and pieces. I am comfortable with everything except the first and most important parts... the exact adb files I should have downloaded, end EXACTLY where I should put them so that when I run the exploit in Putty, it actually finds the file. I am REALLY trying to get any one to simply lay it out for me...you know, "step 1..do this, step two, do this..put this file in this location..etc..." Can/will anyone please help me properly on this one. I am running out of ways to ask the same question. And, as you all can probably get from my posts tone, I am really getting aggravated.

I have downloaded on to a windows 8.1 machine the following:

1. ADT Bundle for Windows which include eclipse (?) SDK, And Android SDK Manager. I have unzipped it to the C:/ location

2. Cydia Impactor

3. Puttytel

4. RockMyMoto.zip which includes the .jar and the SU files

Per a previous response I have moved the RockMyMoto files into the "platform-tools folder inside the sdk folder.

I have no problem connection to adb and getting my devices ip address. Apparent I am not getting the initial rocmmymoto files (or maybe sdk) in the correct location. Ugh........................................................................................ makes me want to just forget about rooting this damn thing...but I can't let it go. lol

[Moto X General] lowvolt1:
Ok, here we go.

Continue Reading ....

First, let me say, I am not new to rooting but have always used a "one click" method.

Secondly, I have never used adb and didn't really know what it was, although seeing it in print many times.

Third, I do have a windows 7 PC and know how to use Google. This coupled with a little thought, got me through it.

I googled how to use adb. And was able to set it up. After finding my IP address, I moved on to the next step. When I received the "no such directory" error, I realized that the files I was trying to push were not in that directory.

I moved the files and started the process over. I then got past that part and received the "read only" error. That was simply due to my back slashes being forward slashes, in the command line.

After I moved past that step, it was time to telnet. I kept getting a "command not recognized" error. Again I turned to Google. I found out that on windows 7 you have to go into control panel and turn telnet on. I did that and tried to connect to the device following the instructions in the OP. I kept getting a "can't connect to device" error. I remembered reading in the OP that on windows and with certain router settings you may not be able to connect. I went back to that part of the OP and clicked on the " here" link. I then was directed to the how to for windows RockMyMoto thread. I followed that tutorial and without a hitch, I am rooted.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2509590

Not sure if you have seen this.

Don't over think it. Put the rockmymoto.jar and supersu files that were in the. Zip into your platform tools folder.

To use adb you will open the platform tools folder find adb within that folder hold shift right click on adb. And select open command prompt here.

Push rockmymoto.jar and supersu to the device. And follow the rest of the instructions.

When you get to the cydia impactor part, you have to run cydia and then do your puttytel. You will do this three times.

This info. Should get you done. If not tag me and we will get you through it.

Since your on 4.4 the bugs are not there. You have to start on 4.2.2, root with rockmymoto run motowpnomo then flash back to 4.2.2 using rsdlite and then do slapmymoto. In the slap process you will be prompted to take the 4.4 OTA.

Great tool - thanks for putting this together.

Suggestion for the OP:

For those of use who aren't yet as far up on the learning curve, it'd be helpful to call out what and how we need to push to the sd card:

adb push su /sdcard/

adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/

Put this upfront in the original post, and this will then be 120% newb proof!

Thanks again -

[Moto X General] hovax615@hotmail.com:
You don't even need puttytel. Windows has its own built in telnet client. Or up command prompt and type telnet then it'll bring up telnet. All you'll have to do is o (for open) (IP address) space 2222. So it should look like.

o 192.82.1.08 2222 and then you'll be connected run the command lines provided for rock my moto. Its really simple a caveman can do it from the original post by jcase.
