I've been working on a root for almost a week. I have a spare RAZR at hand and have tried almost every public root available. I think it's time to start thinking outside of the box.

Here's my concern though - granted that I find a root. If I release one prior to an official OTA, we could be risking our chances of seeing a root on that OTA because a quick fix moto might do if this root becomes viral. In that case, maybe holding off without root might be a good idea. I could just release the root privately among the Droid RZR community for those who are stuck on their JB w/o root, though we would still be risking our chances of having an available root for the OTA.

Like I said, I am still working trying to find a root. I do have work, class and gym so most of my time is spent elsewhere but my free time this last week has been dedicated to finding a root. Wish me luck!


I'm sure we can conjure up SOME method of keeping a root release private until the OTA is pushed out. It could be posted in an invite only forum, or a forum that requires a PW. But IDK, that don't stop people from sharing it and it ends up back on Moto's desk.

It don't matter anymore if we get the fastboot files and the security doesn't change.

Thanks for sharing your infinite wisdom... Considering the forum app I'm using doesn't list whether this is an original RAZR thread or not, I'll dismiss your ignorant comment for what it was... ignorance. Next time you want to attempt to criticize someone, how bout acting like the mature adult you're obviously not and being respectful, instead of condescending.

....?

So, I rooted my homies DX just recently, and the method there involves using the signature on the system.img from the Milestone to mount system as writable and sneak the binaries in.

It was sketchy, and a big pain, but worked. Wondering if maybe there's some possibility here with the .img from the HD or M or i fastboots? Different signatures probably? Or do you need the .sbf, of which I understand there are none of for any of these phones?

Sorry if I'm being nooby. Just some thoughts!

So is this posted on say xda forums, where there are lots of developers? The more we get out the word that we're offering money for someone to do it, the ore likely it is to happen.

I hate XDA. :) I've been told jcase is working on it... It is very complicated to make a root exploit... The better devs there are whirleyes, dtrail, hacker... None of em make root exploits. Not attacking you, basically saying I don't wanna post it on XDA, though it is a better idea.

Gimme a few minutes and I'll update the pledges.
