I tried to root my phone, just to get some of the bloatware off and I get stuck after flashing the IMG file On:
Download the files
Connect your phone to your computer
Switch to fastboot mode by turning off your phone, and turning it back while holding down the Volume Down button until you see Fastboot on the screen. Press volume up button and you should see “Starting Fastboot protocol supportâ€. Note: your computer might install new drivers
Unzip the 5 files to your C:\ Drive under a new folder named “rootâ€
Open a command prompt on your computer (Windows logo key + R, type cmd) and go to that directory (should be c:\root) by typing cd c:\root and press enter
Type the following commands one by one:
Type moto-fastboot.exe flash preinstall preinstall.img and press enter
Type moto-fastboot.exe reboot and press enter
At first. I couldn't do this:
At this point your phone will reboot. After it reboots completely, type the following on the same command prompt (if /preinstall/dosu does not work, try /preinstall/su):
Type adb shell and press enter
Type /preinstall/dosu and press enter
Type /bin/mount -o remount,rw /system and press enter
Type cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/ and press enter
Type chmod 6755 /system/bin/su and press enter
Type PATH=/system/bin:$PATH pm install /preinstall/Superuser.apk and press enter
And reboot the phone, it should be rooted
*Please let us know how the process goes for you if you follow these steps. We want to hear from you.
Then I found out I didn't have USB Debugging on. Now it won't even open the first part. Works fine, not bricked, but fuck.
