There is no CWM Recovery for the XT530/311 :( ...


This root method works perfectly well on the XT530 2.3.5 . I have tried it ..

To update download the Motorola Software update Tool for your country . and connect your phone and run it, it will take about 30 mins or so ..

Looking for Root tools ? Help is HERE !!!

Got it rooted !!

Model: Moto XT311
Ver: UK Motorola 'Fire'
Running: v2.3.4
Kernel: Apps_2.6.32.9
Build Number: 4_40C_4067

Here is how i did it to the letter... Even at times i questioned the sequence but it worked.. These instructions are formulated from various sources.. Before you begin unzip the main Zip file I have uploaded and then unzip all the contained zips to one folder. Call the folder Root and put it on your main drive ie(C:/). Ensure that the infamous FXX_PR3_NV.xml is in the root folder..

INSTRUCTIONS:-

Before Rooting:

Prepare your phone by doing the following:
- Go to Settings > Applications > CHECK "Unknown Sources"
- Go to Settings > Applications > Developer > CHECK "USB Debugging" and "Stay Awake"
- Connect your phone via USB, when prompted DO NOT select USB Mass Storage.

1. download and UN-compress all files. on your phone, choose application setting->development->enable "USB debugging", then connect your phone with your pc with USB cable and install driver automatically.

2. install SUT1.75 & RSD LiTE by Motorola which include drivers.

3. Run SUT1.75, choose FXX_PR3_NV.xml. Make sure you select file open option XML from drop down in file open menu.

4. Run cmd > adb shell (if your ROOT folder is located in c:\, then change directly to c:\ROOT, type adb shell), wait untill "#" appear, then you can minimise the cmd window.

5. Open RootD3 folder, run RootD3_zhCN.cmd,

Phone will reboot 3 times. After the 1st reboot, please check if the 2nd reboot starts automatically, if not, unplug the USB cable and plug it again, Goto step 5 again and complete when the 3rd reboot is done.

6. Go into SuperOneClick folder, run SuperOneClick.exe, press Root.
Force a connection with USB drivers. The software will automaticaly do this. The program will now executed and run with NO ERRORS.

After it says it is completed, check if you have the Skull Android icon ( Get SUuperUser APP) Now look in the menu, if Confirmed, your phone has been rooted.

I can't upload any files or provide links as im new round here..

I HAVE ALL FILES/SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR THIS PROCEDURE !!!

Vefire unistalling apps AFTER rooting always backup or you will loose data from before root applied...

YaY! I rooted my Motorola Fire XT311 this morning. I'm very thankful for this forum and "lichingho"

Actually, I tried it two weeks ago but couldn't find the files as they are expired then yesterday I found it somewhere on the web and I did it!

The main reason behind rooting my phone was to get rid of low internal memory message. Can experts guide me here how to do that? Any specific application or function?

    Model: Motorola XT311
    Android version: 2.3.5 ;)

    This method worked for me. On step 5 I chose RootD3.cmd file. I only had to unplug and plug usb cable on this step as it was explained.

    You can see the images here: h t t p s ://sites.google.com/site/wikihowtosetup/root-motorola-xt316-or-xt510

    Thank you!!!

    Hi, since i had some trouble rooting my Fire XT (X530) on 2.3.5, i'll tell you what to do (no guarantees though ^^).
    The original link in the howto no longer works, a google search brings up many alternatives fortunately: can't post links yet, google for rooting_xt316.zip
    Turn on USB debugging on your phone
    Unzip the archive
    Install and run SUT LR, choose the file FXX_PR3_NV.xml from the ROOT folder, your phone will reboot after flashing. (personal data was left intact, don't take my word for it though!!!)
    Get into a cmd window, navigate to RootD3 and type: adb shell
    wait until # appears (don't remember if phone rebooted lol)
    [optional?]open RootD3 folder, run RootD3_zhCN.cmd[/optional?] (hung for me)
    Be sure to have the SD unmounted in the phone before running SuperOneClick (it mounts again at every restart)
    Run newest SuperOneClick (not sure if included one will work as i didn't try) as administrator and press Root

    Check for Superuser app
    ???
    Profit! :p

    SuperOneClick always hung at step 5 before doing above mentioned steps. Hope they will be useful to someone. :)

    @arkfirext:
    - I have rooted my XT311 using this method
    - command "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2" works, now I have (almost) all my apps on sdcard. This only works after root, and I recomend that you use a big sdcard (at least 4GB) so you don't have to remove it from the phone very often.

    Here is how you set default install location to sd card:

    First you have to enable USB debugging on your Android device from Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.
    Now you need to download and install the Android SDK on your computer from developer.android.com/sdk. Once you’ve downloaded and extracted the package to the folder of your choice, run SDK Setup.exe and click on Available Packages to the left. If you get an error message at this point, enable “Force ht t ps:/ /…” in the Settings. From the list of available packages, select “Usb Driver package”, click on the Install Selected button in the bottom right corner and follow the prompts.
    Connect your phone to your computer with a USB-cable. Your OS will prompt you to install new drivers. Choose to install them from the android-sdk/usb_driver folder. Do not mount your device; you only need to plug-in the cable.
    Next, run a command prompt and navigate to the Android-SDK\tools folder. In Windows, this is done by selecting Run from the Start Menu (or by pressing Win+R) and typing cmd. You change drives in the command prompt by entering the drive letter followed by a colon :)), and change folders with the CD command. For example, to enter the Android-SDK folder, simply type cd android-sdk.
    In the Android-SDK\tools folder, type in adb devices and you should get a serial number starting with “H” in return. All you have to do next is entering adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2. Voilà, you’re done! Android will now install apps to the SD card by default.
    To switch back to storing software on the internal memory, enter adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0.
