My friend found the way to root OTA .629!

Make sure your phone working on .629,

1.Flash repacked .608 sbf
http://db.tt/xj6oos8G
(Never Try Full .608 SBF !!!)


2 .Download tool PetesMotorolaRootTools or SuperOneClick extract all and run.(Just like rooting .608:)

Note : - FIRST - Please Enable USB Debugging , Then connect cable for usb type Charge only



3.Install app otarootkeeper(Can be found in Play Store,it's free),backup su, unroot.


4.Reboot to Motorola Recovery, Wipe, apply .629 OTA update.zip,reboot.

5.install otarootkeeper app again,restore su

Check your device, it should rooted

ATTENTION: Reapply .629 update is very important, when you flashed our repacked .608 sbf, your device is working on a unstable hybrid rom

Failed for me... First flash failed, everything else has followed that... Unable to root with SuperOneClick, reflashing with upadet.zip hasn't give any different output...
Oh, yes, Droid works, as I haven't done anything...

Yes, no help from it... still the same problem.

UPDATE: For all with some sort of problems (!), blindly follow guide from link, for RESTORING device... apply 608, apply repacked 629, (IMPORTANT) full wipe in recovery, root, unroot, flash update, re-root. Works like a charm, all radios are full to go!

Now, rooted, I'm finally able to delete all those stupid Verizon bloatware (I'm not on Verizon, even more, I CAN'T use Verizon, I'm not in U.S.!) - got around 10-15% on speed (some things apparently are in startup and slowing the phone down).

Other thing, before this update, I had some minor and occasional problems with touch - like ghosts or something, after unlocking touch started to do weird stuff, opening apps by it-self, moving icons across the screen - no more, it works great (for now). This might be because of fresh and full install and wipe (yes, it's a hassle to do it, to install all apps again, set them up... but, it's kinda good solution...).
