------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Now that we have gotten that out of the way on to the root. :D:D


I will tell you now this is a LONG grueling process not meant for most new comers but if you want to take a stab feel free ill help if need be.


Now first things first before we do ANYTHING make sure your using a Droid Maxx, Droid Ultra, Moto X or any of those phones and make sure their on System version: 19.5.3 and Android: 4.4. Now that we've separated the men from the women (no sexism implied) lets move on.


You now need to go into your settings and make sure you have developer options available if not go to about phone in settings and scroll down and tap build number till it tells you your a developer. Pretty straight forward and simple. Now go back and go into developer options and enable USB Debugging and plug your phone into your PC (don't forget you need a computer for this process). Now it will most likely prompt you to authorize your pc on your device. Tap the check box and tap OK.


Now I need you to do a couple of things. Make sure you don't have an update pending, make sure your battery is charged, and make sure you have no root apps installed, this is almost specifically pointed at SuperSu, Superuser, etc. This will ensure your safe to do this whole process error free (not guaranteed but almost positive it prevents all your problems).


Now that we've separated the boys from the men lets continue.


Your going to want to download the file below ROOT.zip. That is the file with all the goodies. Download it and extract it to your C drive (root directory).


Go to the ROOT/PIE folder and run the ROOT.bat it will direct you from there. If you want me to paste what it says here, well then here you go-->
First it will say​
--Root Achived--
Now you'll need to follow the other directions it gives you.​
Please run wpbegone.exe in /ROOT/RWPD/ as administrator-------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Press Enter when you've done so and its made you say yes a couple of times----
This is somewhat what it will look like. Do what it says and it will say the next thing.​
Please click ONCE on 1.bat and hold Enter once it says waiting for adb-----------

Once its rerooted your device with pie and has said must play a little while--------

longer please wait till it goes through the process and gets to clobbering 2--------

Then click 2.bat ONCE and press and hold enter till it roots your device-----------

After your rooted wait till all is completed and it tells you to press enter------------

Then reroot your device using pie and go to the safestrap app now in your app-

drawer and tap install recovery. Then reboot into recovery using safestrap-------

and install su.zip on your sdcard/internalstorage and reboot-------------------------

After all of that go to SuperSu and update your binary--------------------------------

now your done :) PROFIT B**** ;D
Follow those instructions to the tee or it will NOT work.​
If you need urgent help email me at [email protected] if not just post on here and ill get back to you asap i am a busy person and may be living on the streets soon so please don't be a d*** to me. Be patient.

Credits for Pie go to jcase

Your right neither of us would, this behavior is why I'm toning down my public work.
And that is sad to hear @jcase but I understand and have followed your lead with my work ( granted it is MUCH LESS than yours).

Know that some of us such as @samwathegreat @SamuriHL @bigv5150 @caseky621 and myself do appreciate your work and understand the frustration you must feel when someone does this.

While all guides and tutorials are highly appreciated, reposting them is highly unnecessary and will only be confusing for people trying to find the right guide. Pie root by Jcase can be found here, and as his thread states:
Pie is a root for motorola devices, should work up to and including 4.4.2.
Meaning it also works on the Droid Ultra or any Motorola device for that matter.
