Motofail (GB+ICS): Universal Motorola Android Root Tools (Portable)

I want to buy you a cup of coffee! So many of us understand the need to root but some of us with lack of education, we gratefully appreciate the helping hand from people like you. Thank you Sir I am finally rooted.

Works on .905.
Thanks to you and djrbliss!

May 29, 2012 - An update to the verizon system unrooted me. I tried to re-root using petes tools, and a 1 click script, both of which failed on step 2.

I found the portable Motofail.exe today (June 3, 2012) and can verify it works on .906 on the Droid 3 on verizon.

Thanks so much for the hard work! <3

Will this work with 905

hmm, my phone motorola defy plus is bl7...
Bad news to root it?

I think, there are no ways directly to root my fone .... but i flashed it with rooted SBF, now it works

Thanks, thanks, thanks

I run this as administrator on my verizon d3, it goes through all steps, says "exploit complete" and "press any key to continue". The phone also did not reboot. I have the correct drivers installed, usb debugging check and I'm running as admin. But it looks like nothing happened to the phone, no super user or root access. What am I missing?

I want to confirm this too. Manually updated to the 906 release from stock recovery (phone had never been rooted or altered in any way), installed the most up to date Motorola drivers, ran this EXE and the phone is rooted. No drama at all.

And this was after I tried to use Pete's 1.07 one click tool and it failed at step two (failed because it doesn't support 906 yet).

Very slick, thanks for the help!!

Can't Root Droid RAZR MAXX

I am running 6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US which someone posted earlier was successfully rooted by this portable motofail. I have USB Debugging enabled

When I tried to install the latest Motorola drivers on my PC, my system said I already had more recent drivers installed. I am running Windows 7 64-bit.

motofail appears to work until at the end:

Attempting persistence...
* daemon not running. starting it now *
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
Cleaning up...
Rebooting...
Exploit complete!

Can someone point out where I am going wrong?

Not only am I a noob, but this is my first smart phone. Be gentle, I'm old...

I am answering my own post (sorta).

While the problem I just posted still exists, it is now moot to me as I have managed to root my phone using SuperOneClick v2.3.3.0 with the motofail exploit.

Still old, but feeling a wee bit smarter.

I am in "charge mode" USB debugging is enabled and i have up to date Motodrivers and also run the latest Motofail as ADMIN. It goes through the motions and here is what i get:

...obviously no root happening. I also tried the latest Superoneclick 2.3.3 and put the motofail file in the exploits folder and still it will not root. That way crashes much faster. I have disabled my firewall, etc, virus program everything. I am at a loss for ideas.. any from you??

Try a different usb port

If that does not work then try a different computer

If that still does not work then re-stock your phone (FXZ/update to .906) and try again before installing any of your apps or synchronizing your accounts.

Thanks! You were right.. I tried another computer with a brand new setup on windows 7 and it worked with the newest Motofail Portable. I appreciate your help.. not sure what is happening with this computer... oh well .
