I tried to root my Razr 2.3.6 with motofail but not working. How do I root?

[SoLongSidekick]

Using motofail.

What method were you using? The direct method from Dan? Matt's tool? Which Razr model do you have?

We need more info than 'it didn't work'.

Do you have the errors it gave you when rooting?

I used your utility (1.4) to restore .173, then used option 2 to root 2.3.6. I also cannot root and this is the output:

I ran Dan's Motofail and it was successful. I should have attempted to install/run the RazrBootstrap-v2.0.apk as a test to see if your utility worked regardless of the errors.

I am rooted now after running Dan's Motofail utility.

Are you using the USB cable that came with the phone?

No one cares where this was sent from

[jessesmith121]

I am having issues as well. I cant get my phone into debugging mode. I am using the cable that came with the phone. I have the latest drivers from motorola and usb debugging is checked on the device... im on 2.3.6 this is driving me nuts...

[superrelaxx]

I used the stock cable. Check out this link. This utility worked for me. Will give you root so you can install bootstrap or safestrap:
