There aren’t many useful tutorials on how to root Motorola Fire XT around. After buying the device, I had to go through a lot of mixed guides, tutorials, and instructions to finally root my Motorola Fire XT. In this tutorial, I’ll describe the simplest procedure for rooting the Motorola Fire XT 530/531.
Steps:
Download this rooting package. (Contains a patch for Motorola Fire XT, SuperOneClick v2.3.3 and SUTLR_v1.8.2)
Extract each .zip inside it.
Install SUTLR. The supplied setup file installs on both x64 and x86 systems.
Open SUT LR. Click on ‘Next’. Select the file FXX_PR3_NV.xml image file inside the “Patch Motorola Fire XT” folder.
On your phone, go to settings > applications. Check allow installation of apps from unknown sources. Then go to settings > developement. Check USB Debugging, and Stay Awake (Optional).
Connect your phone to PC. Don’t choose anything on the phone. DON’T EVER select mass-storage.
Flash the image file (.xml) on your phone by clicking ‘next’.
Your phone will restart several times and this process won’t take much time.
When your phone is back online, you can perform a restart if you wish.
Go to the SuperOneClick folder and open it. Click on ‘Root’, and within a minute, you’re done!
Enjoy your rooted Motorola Fire XT!
It takes less than 5 minutes to root it.
You’ll see the ‘SuperUser’ app when you press the launcher button. Let me know if you have any questions at all regarding this tutorial.
