[Root] TwerkMyMoto 1.0 (no unlock root)

jcase · Nov 24, 2013

Root exploit for Motorola Razr I (x86)

Source code:
https://github.com/CunningLogic/TwerkMyMoto

To use:
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb push rootme.sh /data/local/tmp/
adb push TwerkMyMoto.jar /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
adb shell /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
adb reboot
adb shell /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh

This includes SuperSu 1.65 su binary, the updated binary does not work on this device, no idea why (i don't have the device)

Thanks a lot @jcase for this.

Again folks, this means no more BL unlock is needed to get root on our phones!
Works great on my phone (EU version)

Update (24th Nov 2013): IT'S Working! Tested on a Razr i (Brazilian) with Stock Retail SML29 ROM.

Tested root on Terminal Emulator.

This is not going to unlock your bootloader, only giving you root access that can easily be reverted in case you need to send it back to Moto for repair. That's why this is so awesome!

this is a method by HSD Pilot

Relock your Bootloader

You'll need an complete JB (4.1.2) Fastboot File of your Region for doing that!

Copy the content of the [XT890] Re-lock Bootloader.zip into the extracted Fastboot File Folder

If i lock my bootloader again, it will wipe my internal storage, right? Will I loose my current root? And more important, will that message saying that bootloader was unlocked be gone? If not, i have no reasons to re-lock it

Amazing!!! It works without unlocking the bootloader!

However, I had to replace the su binary with an older one (provided in the other rooting thread) and I'm currently using Superuser instead of SuperSu.
Your su was correctly copied to xbin but it was not working

Now I have removed unwanted system apps and installed Greenify without loosing the warranty. Win win!!!

My bootloader is still locked, can I use this and then install a custom recovery or unlocking is still needed for a custom recovery?
Thanks

Unfortunately to install custom recovery and custom ROMs is still necessary to unlock bootloader. But with ROOT and a little bit of time on Google, you can do very nice things with your Razr i (XT890) !

Search for Xposed and GravityBox.

Thanks for your answer.
I'm used to perform a nandroid backup before any modification, plus all the other benefits that come with a custom recovery... But I'll probably give it a try.

Just to check, there's no wipe involved in this?

EDIT: No wipe, seems to work! Yay!

Actually, just testing this out, when I go into SuperSU it says that I need to update the SU binary. When I click 'Normal' (I don't have a cusotm recovery), it says almost instantly that the update failed. Any fix for this?

EDIT AGAIN: Wooooops, just seen that line in the OP that says I need 1.65. Fail moment!

Just DO NOT update SuperSU, you only have to keep it installed. It will be used to set permissions on apps and files.

Root working fine here!

Stock ROM no BL Unlocked.

Guys i'm feeling bad for this, but i can't manage to do it via terminal emulator on my phone (I don't have PC access until weekend)
There's someone who can explain me step by step? D:

OP has a step by step, it tells you to execute it from adb for a reason

basically, the adb commands do the following:

- put su, rootme.sh and TwerkMyMoto.jar files into /data/local/tmp/
- change /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh permissions to 755
- run /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh script
- reboot
- run script again

i think if you can manage to do this in your phone, you can make it
but as jcase said, it tells you to execute it from adb for a reason
