Step 1.

Click the Menu Icon at the bottom right hand corner of your phone. Make sure the tab across the top says "All apps" Scroll down and click "Settings" After this scroll down to the bottom and click "About phone" Look for "Android Version" and make sure it says 2.3.5 under it. Now hit the back icon (The Arrow at the bottom of your phone) and click on "Applications" next click on "Development" at the top you will see "USB debugging" click it on. Make sure it has a Green Check Mark.

Step 2.

Hit the Menu Icon again and scroll down to and click "Play Store" at the top right hand corner of the screen click the Magnifying Glass and type in "Superuser" and hit enter.
You will see under apps "Superuser" with "ChainsDD" wrote under it. Click it. Download, Accept and Install. You may be asked to update binaries, but you can't until your rooted, so don't worry about it. (You may see a "#" in your notifications bar at the top of the screen. If you slide down your bar you will see a message like this" # su binary outdated" With sub-text stating "Tap to update su binary" Just leave it there and dont worry about it until later.)

Step 3 - Time to move to your Computer!

Now we download the drivers!

Click the windows icon at the bottom left corner of your computer and click on control panel.
Click on "System and Maintenance" then click "System" and look for "System Type" it should say 32-bit or 64-bit Operating System. Alternatively click the windows icon and type in the search bar "System" and follow the previous steps.

Now that you have found your System type, we will download the drivers!



You can save the zip file anywhere, I recommend saving it to your desktop.

Double click on the folder you downloaded (Either 32bit.zip or 64bit.zip) and then click on Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation and run the setup.

Step 4. Are we done yet?

We are almost there!

Now we need to create a folder for the root files.

Click on the windows icon at the bottom left hand corner and click on "Computer" now click on your C: drive. Right click in blank space, go to new and click on folder. Name it "Root"

Now we have 2 more downloads left, I recommend saving the files to your desktop after you click the links.



After you are finished downloading, right click on the adb-fastboot.zip and click "Extract All... " Then click browse and locate the folder you previously made by clicking on computer>(C:)>Root

Move the Torpedo root file there too.

Step 5.

Now connect your Phone to your computer using a USB cable. (One should have come with your Phone) After doing this, your computer will start "Installing device drivers" automatically. Just wait until it finishes.

Back to my Phone!

Look back at your phone now, there should be a Grey USB Icon in your notification bar at the top of the screen. Slide it down and click on USB Settings.
Click on "Charge Only" (This step is not necessary, but I find it makes it alot more successful)

The Final Stretch!!!

Back to your computer. Click Start>Run> type CMD and hit OK. Or Click Start, type run and click on it, then type CMD and hit OK.

Here is a picture of exactly what your screen should look like


  • cd C:\Root
  • adb push photon-torpedo.tar /data/tmp
  • adb shell
  • cd /data/tmp
  • /bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar
  • /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh
  • /data/tmp/install-su.sh
You will get an error message after you type /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh
The error message will say this.

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libpcprofile.so' cannot be loaded as audit interface: unde
fined symbol: la_version; ignored.
Fatal server error:

and start again.
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support

for help.
ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log
bash: groups: command not found
root@localhost:/data/tmp#

All you do now is simply type /data/tmp/install-su.sh and hit enter.

Please double check the picture I posted above to make sure your screen looks the exact same!!!

Now you are rooted! But do you want to be sure? YES!

Go back to your phone now ( you can leave it plugged into the computer, its fine) Click on Menu>Play Store and search for "Root Checker" You should see an app named "Root Checker Basic" by joeykrim download and follow on-screen instructions on your phone. Once finished, just open Root Check Basic and Click on "Verify Root Access"It Should say Congratulations! This device has root access!
