[Q] And why did I leave my X2 again?...

---

Hey guys,
Ok, so here's the deal: I ruined my X2, completely unrelated to MODing, and opted for a 4G Bionic. Cool phone, but a totally different world from the X2. I can't even gain Root status. From what I gather this is mainly because I am on the new 5.9.902 build, which requires me to revert to an older version, gain root, flash forever root, THEN update? This is probably totally off base but any info is appreciated...Thx

Rooting 902 is easy:

Get the latest 5.5 moto-drivers here... USB and PC Charging Drivers -Motorola Mobility,Inc. USA
Make sure your device is in USB debugging mode,attach it to your PC.
Then use this to root.. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63864500/motofail_windows.zip (for windows pc only)
Extract the entire zip file,and execute “run.bat”.

Thanks bro, I'm on it now....

Alright, the problem is that when I open Motofail #1 my phone isn't recognized in "Charge Only" mode and #2 if I switch to "USB Mass" it roots but gives an error of not being able to push SU...

Any time man.

You in usb debugging mode and also turn on apps from unknown sources.

Still nothing. In Motofail, while it's doing it's thing it says things like "more than one device emulator" and a bunch of errors. IDK. What about if I Flashed to an earlier version? I read somewhere that you must have been rooted in a previous build to gain root in 902. True?

No. Motofail works flawlessly.
You have your phone booted normally?

Make sure usb debugging and appa from uknown sources are checked in setting>>>apps>>>development

Try using rear usb port too.

Yeah dude, just brought it home from Verizon. I haven't done anything...

You downloaded all the files to your pc, right?

To be on the safe side, reinstall the drivers.

Here's Moto's page where the most updated drivers are kept: http://developer.motorola.com/tools/...et_usb_driver/

After you've reinstalled, reboot your PC.

While your PC is rebooting, ensure that USB Debugging is enabled, as well as enabling "Unknown sources".

Once your PC is all the way back up, plug in your Bionic, set it to Charge Only, then run Motofail on it. Motofail absolutely works on 5.9.902

I've gone through every method I can find short of flashing back, which now that I think about would have been a bad idea I think. I've even tried to manually achieve root by Command Prompt (MS, which is the same thing as Terminal Emulator...right?) And PowerShell, also Microsoft, but i'm not familiar enough with the line commands or what they're supposed to look like...but i'm studying. This will not get me down!! Are there even any decent stable ROM's for the Bionic?

****ty Bionic stock...I CAN'T ROOT!!!
