nnnn.... maybe.
I tried a couple of different wifi networks before mine would work. In fact I had to move before it was possible... All of the WAPs I was joining were managed systems with the ports blocked.
If there were a way to connect the phone to a network with a cable, sure. As far as I know, there isn't, but you can think on that with your given hardware a little more efficiently than we can. Perhaps there is a router lying around with a USB port in it... I would be searching the app store for some such solution. The exploit does require the phone to access an IP on the local network, and thus it must be connected. This is not a stupid question at all. If IT people were afraid to ask questions whose answers appear to be obvious, we would hit so many stupid roadblocks that Android development would never occur. Keep at it, but you can easily set this up with a laptop and any router. It doesn't even have to be connected to the Internet, so just digging a Linksys out of the attic would work. The only major thing that needs to work on it is DHCP, and even that's negotiable if you can manually set IPs with it. Good luck.

Make sure you have debugging mode enabled before you plug in...Settings...turn Developer options ON then down the screen...check USB debugging...hope works
How very awesome. I just got an Atrix HD for super-cheap for use on Straight Talk, and rooting this thing to dump the bloatware would be awesome. You making it easier is even better.
Wifi
Hey could anybody help with a workaround for the wifi? I'm able to get to the point where it needs to be mounted but my ip address is a 129.xxx not a 198.xxx. I'm not sure how to work with that.

Awesome, thanks for the help! I do have a laptop with WiFi, I think i'll give turning it into a hotspot a shot.
Alright, had my friend set up a hotspot with connectify and tried to root through that.
Everything seemed to be going well, but then I got this
Figured it might be normal and went on, SuperSU app was installed on my phone. But when I open it, it says
Not sure how to proceed...
I searched this thread and saw a few people had this same issue, but couldn't figure out the solution...

Took me like 4 tries but it worked.
First try was with someone's pre-created virtualbox image. Couldn't get it to see the phone
Second try was with a wubi-installed 12.04 LTS. Couldn't get it to run adb
Third try was with 10.04 live CD on that same PC. Couldn't keep a stable network connection. It's an Ivy Bridge box so maybe it's too new
Fourth try was with the 10.04 live CD on a Lenovo Sandy Bridge laptop. Worked like a charm.
But now I'm rooted. W00t!

Plug your phone in, open up VirtualBox Manager then go to Settings then USB hit the green plus sign. I added "Unknown Device 1BCF blah blah lah. and make sure motorola mb886. Once I did those two things I booted up Ubuntu and it worked.
the issue i'm having is the network still not having the appropriate ip address. im still getting a 129. or 127 instead of the 192. its kind of frustrating.
Then your issue seems to be router issue.

Had that problem when i was using a third party application to create remote storage. Try the builtin 'Files' app on the device to attach the remote storage.
Good Luck.
As per the original instructions, the built-in "Files" app was used. That is not the problem. It would have been nice if that was it, but, it isn't.
I'm actually using the built in files app, so that shouldn't be the issue

yes the files app is fine. my issue is that its still telling me that the directory wasn't found or it didn't exist. i have it mounted and the share is open and everything. do i need to connect it different, i.e. as a camera or as a file transfer device?
I followed the instructions but when I try to run the code, i dont get any message.
I never had used Linux for rooting purposes before, Do I need to do something else before? Debugging is on.

Hi, there's a easy way to root youre phone. Go to general section and go to easier root exploit and download the motochopper and follow the instruction. Its so easy compare to this, i tried this many times and i failed. By the way im using Atrix Hd Bell version.

I'm leaving this post here for posterity's sake, but an easier root method is now available at:
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/15208-root-motochopper-yet-another-android-root-exploit/
The package may be downloaded at http://vulnfactory.org/public/motochopper.zip

As promised, this post describes how to root the Atrix HD Jelly Bean build. This should also work on other Motorola 4.1.2 builds (Razr/Razr Maxx, Razr HD, Razr M, etc.).
The exploit requires setting up a special Samba share and mounting this share on your phone using the File Manager app. I apologize that this process may seem involved for some of you, and request that members of this community help each other out if some of you are having problems completing the procedure. I'm not able to provide individual tech support to every user who wants to root this phone.
The following instructions require a working Linux installation. The following instructions are for Ubuntu. If you don't want to install Ubuntu permanently on your machine, I suggest using a LiveCD installation. Instructions on setting this up are described here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD#How-To_LiveCD_Ubuntu
Once you're booted into Ubuntu, open a terminal. Create a new directory for your Samba share:
Code:mkdir /tmp/share
Next, install the samba package:
Code:sudo apt-get install samba
Edit the configuration file for samba:
Code:sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
Add the following lines to the end of the configuration file and save your changes:
Code:[share] path = /tmp/share available = yes valid users = guest read only = yes browsable = yes public = yes
Close the text editor once you've saved your changes.
Next, create a user for the Samba share by typing in the terminal:
Code:sudo useradd guest -m -G users
Set a password for the new user. Remember this password:
Code:sudo passwd guest
Provide a password here and press enter. You won't see the characters you're typing, so be careful.
Next, set a password on the share. Use the same password you just provided:
Code:sudo smbpasswd -a guest
Type the password you created before and press enter.
Next, restart the Samba server:
Code:sudo restart smbd
Finally, download and prepare the required files to the Samba share:
Code:cd /tmp/share wget [url]http://vulnfactory.org/public/motoshare.tgz[/url] tar xvf motoshare.tgz sudo chown root:root pwn sudo chmod 6755 pwn
At this point, you'll need to know the IP address of your Linux host, which you can get by running "ifconfig" from your terminal (it should be of the form "192.168.x.x").
Next, move over to your Android device. Ensure you have enabled USB Debugging Mode (under Settings -> Development Settings). Ensure your device is connected via Wifi.
Open the "File Manager" app, and select "Remote storage". Click "Add storage", and fill in fields as follows:
Code:Host IP address: [your Linux machine's IP address] Domain name: WORKGROUP Shared folder name: share User: guest Password: [the password you created above]
At this point, the phone will mount your Linux share. To complete the process, plug in your phone via USB to your Linux machine, and type the following in your Linux terminal:
Code:sudo /tmp/share/adb kill-server sudo /tmp/share/adb shell /storage/rfs0/pwn
If it's successful, this should print "[+] Rooting complete!".
Finally, install Supersu by typing the following in the terminal:
Code:sudo /tmp/share/adb install /tmp/share/eu.chainfire.supersu.apk
Congratulations, enjoy your rooted device.
I can't stress this enough: I can't provide individualized tech support for everyone on this forum. Please help each other.

You can unlock your RAZR i and root anytime you want. Something these users would do in a split second if they could.

There is a technical problem in doing a windows version from what I understand. Its not that difficult to boot a Linux LiveCD or LiveUSB don't even have to install it on your computer.
EDIT: If you need help post it here
