[Anomander]

Use motofail_windows.zip which can be found fairly easily.

No prob. This thread is a bit old and doesn't have the updated methods for the latest updates for the bionic.

You probably got drivers for the wrong architecture. If you downloaded the 32-bit drivers, then you probably need 64-bit ones instead or vice versa.

does anyone have the link to 32bit drivers? I have ICS and want to root it now. Thanks

You can download the Driver Manager from here which should get you the proper drivers https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

Will this work with....

System Version 5.9.905.XT875 Verizon.en.US?
Android Version 2.3.4
Build Number 5.5.1_84_DBN-74
ERI Version 5
PRL Version 15130Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-g4fc328e??

I certainly do not want to brick the phone although the battery calibration tool i want to use requires the phone to be "rooted"

Thank you for any help:hail:

Hi linuxgator, do you still need to use the drivers and the same process or just use the motofail?

Thanks!

You need to have the drivers installed to use motofail. Once you do, you will need to have usb debugging enabled and be in charge only mode, then just run the motofail batch file.

Will this work with 905?

As far as I know, motofail is the only one that works for 905.

Can anyone who has used this for 905 confirm?

 

[el2002nyc]

Yes. If your on 905, use Motofail exploit.
