[Q] Root Issues Motorola Photon - Motorola Photon 4G

Hello, I'm having problems with the one click root, it goes through the steps normally but when it says "hackin yo ****" and restarts the command script says "error: phone not found"... How can I fix this error?

Can't help you with the AIO never used, i'd do the torpedo if I were you. Has never let me down and its literally just a few instructions a monkey could follow

actually i honestly think you could train a monkey to torpedo root hahaha

Its probably your drivers try reinstalling with latest. If still doesnt work , then try "Droid 3 root". Works perfectly for photon.
Sent not from your device!

Thank you guys for the advice, I will try these methods when I get off work today!

so I tried the droid 3 root and got this error:
"Running exploit step 3 of 3 (adding su, busybox, and superuser.apk)... FAIL!
ERROR: adb could not be granted root access via local.prop method"

Try installing ADB in your Machine 1st..
Do a Reboot after doing it..
Then enable Unknown source in your device and also USB debugging..
It worked for me flawless in the 1st try itself

Yeah it does i know I made a cmd path to get my computer to activate the bridge, I also had to go though and uninstall all my drivers and reboot and then install them again. The ones at "https:// rapidshare.com /files/1478950459/Root-Unlock-Relock.zip" i just uploaded the pack i used and QBKing77 video "How to root the Motorola Photon 4G and get Free Wifi Wireless " those set me right. just be sure to delete the spaces from the url.

hey, qbking777 has some great videos on youtube. real easy to fallow and he provides all the links you need. just type in photon 4g root in the search bar

I tried his method and had the same issue... man I don't know why it's this difficult... I've never had this much trouble

I have rooted several separate photons and did not encounter issues. did u read the "read me" included in the AIO files?
Also, make sure that USB port recognizes the phone, maybe try a different USB that is directly connected to the motherboards header.
Possible the debugging or charge only mod not selected?
Best of luck.

Always make sure you have a good USB cord, it may seem good but give connection one time and lose it the next. Have had that happen with even the one that comes with a phone.

There's about 3 ways to root. I think theres more but can't remember.
Z4Root

I have.
Also superoneclick.
I tried setting up adb/sdk on my computer and failed. Stuck with the newb rooting techniques.

Ok is Z4root the only one you can do right on your phone?
Yes because it is an app.

That was my understanding. Z4 no longer works for the Fascinate.

Liking a phone or not should have nothing to do with whether a root shortcut works
Really its not hard to root with adb and all rooted users should have the android sdk installed anyway
This is a honest question. Exactly why would one root their fascinate? I guess I should ask who would want root without flashing a new rom? So far I haven't seen any roms that end users should be concerned with that doesn't come with root. Just curious.

I ran into that issue with installing adb. Download the application to your download folder, have two windows open - your download folder, and a window by just clicking on computer from the start menu. Just drag and drop the program from your downloads folder to the C: drive. You will get the standard pop up asking if you want to take this action, just click on continue or ok, can't remember which one it says. Good to go.
You could always try using Odin. There's a file that you can flash through Odin that will root your phone, install stock 2.2, and install the latest clockwork 3.0 (orange). I used that and it worked really well. There is a slight inconvenience in that you need clockwork 2.5 (red) to flash most of these ROMs but that's a really easy fix. You just have to flash the old clockwork using Odin and you'll be fine. The only problem I ran into was finding ROMs/kernels that you could flash through Odin but there are definitely a few out there.
Perhaps you have your reasons, but why not odin cwm, then flash a rom like sc? Not really seeing the advantages of staying on stock rom and rooting.

I need help with the rooting process please

I want to root my Motorola Photon. I have been reading many posts on different rooting methods and I'm confused on all these methods. Of course, the dockless method sounds like the best since I don't have the dock. Can someone who is more experienced in rooting please tell me what is the best or easiest way to root the phone? Does anyone have a good step by step thread or website I can use? Any help would be great!
Shabby has a thread in the dev section which is one click. I am happy to help. What exactly are you confused about?

This thread here offers the 'once-click-root' for our device. What operating system are you on? I'll assume windows. If so download the zip file as well as the appropriate drivers and then just run the bat file.
I downloaded the drivers and the zipped Photon OCR file. I installed the drivers. Do I put the zipped file on the SD card or do I run one of the files with the phone plugged in to my computer?

Man...I downloaded many apps and tried different prompts in the thread. I am lost!!!! Is there anyone I can call for tech support? I'm trying to get this to work and I'm not having any luck. I guess I'm about as noob as noob can be! Is there a youtube vid anywhere?
um i think he was making a comment towards calling someone on here to help him with it.
i honestly dont understand the issue with so many people not being able to root... yall have a root that is far easier then the nexus s 4g (i should know i wrote the one click for that phone too)
Here is shabbypenguins one click root that worked very easy.
anyways without further waiting here it is
Download
Drivers in case you need em
32-Bit 64-Bit
driver mirrors
Download and install the drivers. Download and extract the one click root to your desk top.
Run the one click root from the folder you extracted to your desk top. After 3 reboots you should be rooted.
Make sure when you plug your phone into your computer you select charging only in the notification pull down.
If it don't root your phone the first time try it again, some people reported having to do it twice.

This may be a stupid question, but does it completely wipe your phone when you root it?
I'm close. I did it 4 times and no go. I attached a screenshot on the info. Could it be the phone resetting itself twice during the process?

Try turning the phone off then on.make sure you have the drivers installed. Try reinstalling them if you do them try again. Make sure USB debugging us checked on your phone under menu/settings/applications/development. And when you plug in your phone to your computer in the notification pull down make sure to check charge only.

Issue
Thanks for putting this together antdking
I came across an issue rooting my LG Optimus One with it, the batch script gave an error with something like "invalid option for su: --install"
Fixed it by adding single-quotes around the busybox command on line 409 like this:
adb -d wait-for-device shell "su -c '/system/bin/busybox --install -s /system/bbin'"

No. Rooting will only allow you to flash a custom recovery, which you need to do seperately after rooting.
Options for Custom Recoveries -
1) AmonRa 2) TWRP 3) CWM
I use AmonRa which I find most stable & functional. CWM installation from ROM manager could brick your phone.
Once you have installed your recovery, then you can flash any custom ROM you like from this forum.
Hope this helps.:good:

Charging port cant root. UL okay CWM okay

So my atrix doesnt charge via wall or pc. it doesnt even get recognized by the pc. i have an external battery charger to keep the juice up. I sucessfully unlocked and flashed rom racers recovery but CANNOT get root. during the ADB shell phase of root i get the error no device connected etc. im guessing the charging port is broken, does anyone have a quick fix? thanks.
problem is the root apps wont work and im wary of flashing a custom rom without root permissions. thanks

Have your tried flashing any custom ROMS on it? If I recall, I could be totally wrong, when I put my custom recovery on the phone, it had to be rooted.
Download root checker from the market. That should tell you if you are definitely rooted or not.
If you are you can put your micro sd card in the computer with an adapter, put the custom ROM on that way, put the sd card back in the phone and flash the ROM like that. Post back when you tried root checker.

Perhaps a driver issue. Make sure your java is updated then restart computer. If you can only connect one usb to the phone to run casual, unplug other usb devices like printers or flash drives.

i have one suggestion;
proceed to my guide and read thru the last section "android glossary". that will give you some insight on what all the android terminology means.
