[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You do not need root to install TWRP with an unlocked phone. Ugh, I don't think you can use WinDroid on XP, Sherri. I just read the entire thread, 16 pages, and although I cannot find it now, I am pretty sure you need Net Framework 4.5 or higher. I checked my Windows Update history and see I just updated to 4.61 on 2/18/2016, so I must have had 4.5 when I did use Windroid. The program does not install, run in an empty folder so it can make it's own data folder. You should be able to run the program w/out plugging in the phone and see it run. Windroid has been updated several times since I used it, now at v3 and checking the spreadsheet, our Moto X Pure phones are officially supported to Marshmallow. But, if you cannot get it to run on XP and I do not think you can, no point in talking about it. Yes there are manual ways to do this, but they are not "simple" methods if you have never used adb and fastboot in a command prompt before.

Honest Opinion for you: "Borrow" a Windows 7 or higher laptop for one night and you can get it all done with Windroid and not leave a mark on the PC you borrowed. Just delete the Windroid folder when you are done with it! Read nuggets 1-3 below if you do.

Sherri, I do believe that you are of the caliber to perform these mods, but I don't think you are quite ready to do it yet. That is why I am sending you all this stuff, to get your feet wet and see what you are getting in to. And, hopefully, learn how to do it. To do this the old fashioned way, you need all the right Motorola drivers installed, as well as the Android Platform Tools, or at the very least, adb and fastboot commands on the PC. Getting platform tools or adb/fastboot setup is a bit difficult, but there is a "15 second installer" for this on XDA. I will post the link for it, but stay away from it unless/until you really are ready to go through with it. You do catch on quick, Sherri, but this is a LOT to read and digest.

Either find a PC that you can use for WinDroid or read this stuff until you feel confident that you can do it, install the Motorola Device Manager, cycle through all modes of USB connections, allowing Windows to install the correct drivers for each one (The adb driver is pretty important.), then enable USB debugging in Developer Options (Repeatedly press the build number in About Phone until Developer Options appears.), and enable OEM unlock in Developer Options. Then you are ready to install adb.exe and fastboot.exe and use them. Borrowing a PC to run WinDroid for a night does not sound so bad as it first did, does it now?

WHAT FOLLOWS IS NOT "LIGHT" READING!

Sorry but I am super tired, maybe 3 hours sleep in 2 days so this copy and paste is the best I can do for right now. This will give you plenty of useful information to read for the time being. All of it is pertinent.

Now, it gets ulgy if you cannot do the Windroid thing. You must unlock the bootloader to install TWRP and Root. Unlocking the bootloader can wipe the phone as a factory reset would. I didn't care since I did it within hours of getting the phone, don't remember if that happened though.

I will give you two web sites with all the instructions on how to do this phone without WinDroid, "the old fashioned way". Read them and if you do not understand fully how to do this then don't try it until you do understand it with the manual method...

[Steps] How to unlock bootloader of Moto X Style/Pure 2015 [Root]

If you are able to get Windroid working on another computer you can use, here are some nuggets for you from the Windroid thread. Here are 4 nuggets, each with the URL of the post it came from and under that URL is the tip you need. At very bottom is URL and instructions to the official TWRP page with files and instructions. Once I rest up and get my own phone back in my hands, I can probably be more helpful. :eek:

That seems to be the issue for a lot people, and I'll include a message about that in the next update. Enable OEM unlock in Developer option in the OS before using the tool.

I had thought that TWRP hadn't flashed, because I too got the "No Command" error after attempting to gain root at the last step. I tried flashing TWRP again, only instead of letting the program reboot, I selected Recovery on the phone while still in Fastboot mode (use the volume keys to navigate the menus, and the power button to select) and it booted into TWRP.

Install TWRP manually. Instructions here:

https://twrp.me/devices/motorolamotox2015pure.html

Download the TWRP image (listed in the website above. It is a .IMG file)

Download the Android toolkit (specifically you need ADB.EXE and FASTBOOT.EXE)

Put your phone in bootloader (fastboot) mode, by holding the Down Volume + Power button to turn the phone on.

Push the TWRP image onto your phone as a recovery (instructions at bottom of website).

If you successfully do all of this, and get an image of an Android-in-distress when you reboot, then just hold the power down for 2 seconds, and it should clear that image.
