I'm trying to root my Motorola Razr i XT890.

First I need to unlock the bootloader (right?), so I was fallowing this thread: Unlock the Bootloader on Your RAZR i

The thread is about 2 years old, so if is there any new solution for rooting my phone, please point me to the right direction.

1. I've downloaded the USB driver and the full SDK from moto site. I've installed the USB driver and unzipped the SDK (I was not able to find any install.exe, I clicked "SDK Manager.exe" but nothing happens).

2. Config the phone to USB debug, reboot in fastboot mode, plugged to USB.

3. I opened the CMD, get into the adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools\ where fastboot.exe and typed: fastboot oem get_unlock_data
the result is: FAILED (remote: Restricted OEM command) :confused:

Some phone data:
Version: 982.50.29.XT890.Brasil.en.BR
Kernell: 3.0.34-gf0ff387
hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid80) )

I've never rooted a phone or anything, so please, give me detailed newbie help. Thanks in advance! :good:

Thank you for the info. So I do not need to unlock the bootloader. Nice. Anyway, this is odd that I'm not allowed to do so. Also, there is almost no info about this issue.

My Android version is 4.1.2. I followed the link you pointed and the instructions are:

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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

What a heck is this? :confused:
Can you give me some help with it? :D

ADB is a comandline-tool like cmd.exe, google how to use...

1. Install RAZRi drivers.
2. Enable USB-Debugging in Developer-Options on Handy.
3. Download ADB files (ADB is a comandline-tool, google how to use)
4. Extract "TwerkMyMoto.zip" (rootme.sh + SU + TwerkMyMoto.jar MUST be in same folder with ADB.exe)
5. Connect your RAZRi to PC and run ADB.exe. Check if ADB shows Handy as "device".
6. Follow the Steps "To use". (You have to copy and paste each line in the ADB-Window and execute it)

Good luck!

Congrats for rooting your first device :) :good:

I have had a look in the source code some time ago...
something is loaded into system filesystem and needs a reboot to commit changes.
After that it needs to execute again. So thats why the line is doubled...

Did u test if root is working?
And it would be nice if you hit "Thanks" Button if i could help :cyclops:

Nice!
I hope this root-methode is still working after KitKat Update in the next weeks...

Now u are rooted i recommend u to enable Adobe Flash: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952878&page=4 (last page)

And to start modding try "Xposed Framework". There u can load tons of "mods" on to your handy.
i recommend "Xposed Framework" + GravityBox + YouTube Addaway.
(maybe its better to backup your important Data befor playing around...)

And no worries that u mess up your device. If u stuck in bootloops or something else is broken just flash back your original firmware with RSD-Lite: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239706

So, have fun with your rooted device and thanks for pressing Thanks-Button!

Hi there, I am having the same issue but my OS version is 4.4.2 now.

There is also a nice guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1928551

But I would still need the code.....

So what do you propose I should do? I only need root so I can use a directory binding tool to make some room on the internal space, I ran out and can no longer update the apps.... :(

(Btw. I did unlock my first RAZR, but that one broke down so now I am on an used one.. )

Thanks!
