Hey buddy.
The Razr blade root method should help you. Make sure to have your drivers installed and also be in MTP mode when connected to computer with debugging on in settings/developer options.

This method did not work for me
This is what I get. Tried it four times and still no root. It was rooted before the OTA Also.
Got it in MTP mode and have the latest Mot drivers installed. Also in debugging mode...
Any ideas. Thanks

Thanks for the replies.
I noticed they have root for 4.1.2 that was accidentally leaked on Christmas Eve last year... I'm afraid that maybe the update I have may not be that accidental leak... but rather a more official build than the leak was?
Were there two 4.1.2 jelly bean updates?

I have no idea. If you are on the latest update, the method above works.
I'll give the method above a shot.
Definitely won't hurt to try... hopefully.
Does using this method require a specific version of Windows? I only have a laptop with XP on it right now.
I know when it came to rooting my previous phone, the Thunderbolt, I had to have a laptop with Windows 7 for it to root properly.

Okay, so I tried running it and it was a no go.
I installed the "drivers" found here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Put my phone into MTP mode and turned on USB debugging.
Now, I downloaded and extracted the Razr Blade files and then double clicked run.bat (I got a prompt asking to extract all or just run) -- I just clicked run.
Here is my result:

Im pretty sure you got it by now, but for anyone else, this is either a driver error, or more likely, its the new adb security added in later android versions. If you see a popup on screen saying allow debugging, check always and allow.

[Q] bricked and can't access internal sd storage
Joining the ranks of the "what was he thinking" Had TNT4.0 lite running fine. tried to upgrade to: GtabComb_b3.1_bl1.2 hung on 3 birds. A post said "go to cwm and partition the internal sd" ...fool that I am, I did. So now it hangs on booting and there's no update.zip on the internal sd to use to restore 'cause it all got wiped by the partition. Soooo managed to get the drivers (including NVIDIA boot recovery) so that NVIDIA Harmony shows as a device on my win7 notebook, but NVIDIA's "d:" drive, while listed, is grayed out and not available. Back to CWM tried formatting and partitioning (ignorantly screwed with the sector and swap sizes) the internal SD card, mounting and unmounting (never shows and storage space, just mount/unmount) with no access from my pc to get some recovery files on it. HELP PLEASE- 1.suggestions to get access to the internal sd card and what files to put there 2.possible to get cwm 2.5.1.1 to see either the external sd or usb as location for update.zip file 3. proper settings for the internal sd card (sector size,swap size) 4 place to get my head examined

Click to collapse So you were on a 1.1 bootloader and you decided to jump to a 1.2 bootloader-based ROM (when that ROM has a perfectly good 1.1 bootloader-based version)? First things first: Are you able to boot into ClockworkMod? If yes, then you can copy any files you want to either sdcard, internal or external, using adb. To copy files to the internal SD card: Code: C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb push c:\some\path\file.zip /sdcard/xyz.zip C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb shell umount /sdcard To copy files to the external SD card: Code: C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb shell mount [B]/dev/block/mmcblk2p1[/B] /sdcard C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb push c:\some\path\file.zip /sdcard/xyz.zip C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb shell umount /sdcard If the "adb shell mount /sdcard" at the beginning complains about /sdcard already being mounted, just unmount the sdcard as shown in the last step, then start over again. If you have inadvertently loaded a 1.2 bootloader, downgrade to 1.1 by following the steps given here. After this, remove any external SD cards you may have so that there is no confusion when you format the SD card, then: 1. Reflash clockworkmod if needed, then boot into CWM. 2. Repartition internal SD card again with 2048 MB for /data and 0 for swap (no swap) and the rest for /sdcard. 3. Do a "wipe data/factory reset". 4. Use adb push to copy the GtabComb_b3.1_bl1.1.zip file onto the internal SD card using the commands above. 5. Install this zip file using CWM.
thank you very much for your help- i'm not experienced enough to know how to run adb...see below and thanks again So you were on a 1.1 bootloader and you decided to jump to a 1.2 bootloader-based ROM (when that ROM has a perfectly good 1.1 bootloader-based version)? ***yes- saw a post that said that if the opening screen showed the slide lock, that bootloader was 1.2...go figure**** First things first: Are you able to boot into ClockworkMod? *yes** If yes, then you can copy any files you want to either sdcard, internal or external, using adb. **can you help me understand how to do this- downloaded the java sdk; and the android sdk, but haven't been able to find out how to use them to move the files to the internal sd card....haven't figured out how to use adb*** To copy files to the internal SD card: ***I'm sorry, i don't understand the steps to do this...been looking on line so as not to bug you**** Code: C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb push c:\some\path\file.zip /sdcard/xyz.zip C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb shell umount /sdcard To copy files to the external SD card: Code: C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 /sdcard C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb push c:\some\path\file.zip /sdcard/xyz.zip C:\some\path\platform-tools> adb shell umount /sdcard If the "adb shell mount /sdcard" at the beginning complains about /sdcard already being mounted, just unmount the sdcard as shown in the last step, then start over again.

sesteinberg said: ***yes- saw a post that said that if the opening screen showed the slide lock, that bootloader was 1.2...go figure**** Click to expand... Click to collapse OK, this is very important. In your first post, you said you, "Had TNT4.0 lite running fine." TnT Lite 4.0 is a 1.1-based custom firmware. Which is why I thought you were on a 1.1 based firmware. Are you in fact running ViewSonic's new stock firmware with the TapNTap UI? ***how would I know this?*** Click to expand... Click to collapse Read this thread. As the first post there says: So, to check which branch you are on if you are on STOCK: Go to Settings -- About Tablet -- Tapu UI Version. If your firmware starts with "1.1", then you are on the 1.1 (old) branch. If your firmware starts with "1.2", then you are on the 1.2 (new) branch. Also an obvious difference between the two is that the 1.2 branch adds a lockscreen to the tablet. Click to expand... Click to collapse TnT Lite is very close to stock, so you can, I think, still go to Settings > About Tablet > TapUI Version and check the firmware version which indicates the bootloader being used. If, however, you find out that you do, in fact, have a 1.2 bootloader, then just flash the file you originally used: GtabComb_b3.1_bl1.2.zip. By reformatting the internal SD card and doing a factory reset, you've done all that's needed to prepare for a new ROM install. **can you help me understand how to do this- downloaded the java sdk; and the android sdk, but haven't been able to find out how to use them to move the files to the internal sd card....haven't figured out how to use adb*** Click to expand... Click to collapse To set up adb on Windows, see this thread. For quick one-shot use, follow the instructions here, and just replace the "adb" in the commands I gave with "sudo ./adb".
***Bought the tablet early this year, rooted it and installed a new rom tnt lite v 4.1.1 or 4.2.1 (i'm travelling and don't have the download--not viewsonic stock); I looked at the settings before this fiasco and did not see a 1.1 or 1.2 (because it was not longer stock?)- that's why I relied on the opening screen with the slide lock to (falsely?) conclude it was 1.2. ***on start-up the tablet loops at 3 birds--so I can no longer get to g-tab settings; I can reliably get to ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8- I did use it to "reset" the internal sd by partitioning it and using 2048mb and 0 for swap-no messages to suggest the internal sd was faulty** ***when I first flashed GtabComb_b3.1_bl1.2- it hung at 3 birds but I was able to revert to the tnt 4xxx by using CWM to select it on the internal SD card; when I flashed GtabComb_b3.1_bl1.2 the second time it hung again I found a posting on line that suggested re-partitioning the internal SD card which of course did not resolve the problem and took away my CWM restore possibilities*** ***i've just finished downloading Knoppix with the hope of using it to run Adb to get access to the internal SD card---I do have NVIDIA Harmony as a "device" in win7-but the "d:" drive on it is grayed out and not browsable *** this help you help me? thanks again

Click to collapse The fact that you remember installing TnT Lite 4.x and also have CWM v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 working strongly suggests to me that your bootloader is 1.1. I do have NVIDIA Harmony as a "device" in win7-but the "d:" drive on it is grayed out and not browsable *** Click to expand... Click to collapse It might not show up as a USB disk, but, you should still be able to use adb on Windows. I'm not a Windows user--don't even have it on my PC--but, try this: In CWM, select "mounts and storage", then "mount USB storage". See if the external SD card shows up as a drive on Windows. EDIT: If you don't have an external SD card, you can make the internal SD card's VFAT partition appear as a drive on Windows/Linux by using these adb commands: 1. Create a new file called fstab.txt with these contents: Code: /dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache yaffs2 rw /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /data ext3 rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 rw /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard vfat rw /dev/block/mmcblk2p2 /sd-ext auto rw 2. Copy this fstab.txt onto the gTablet using adb: Code: C:\> adb push C:\some\path\fstab.txt [B]/etc/fstab[/B] 3. On gTablet, create a symbolic link (it's like a shortcut) from /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 to /dev/block/mmcblk2p1, which is what CWM is trying to mount: Code: C:\> adb shell ln -sf /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 4. Back in the CWM main menu, select "mounts and storage", then "mount USB storage".
I am having a similar issue with my G Tablet. After farting around with it the other day I lost track of what I was doing and now at start up it just sits with the three birds image and does nothing. When I try to boot into recovery I get: "Detect a recovery key pressed" followed by "Booting recovery kernel image" Then it just sits there. So I searched all over for solutions and found the nvflash threads. I downloaded all the files needed but my PC's just won't detect the tablet and therefore I can't install the drivers for it. I have two Win 7 machines, on 32 and on 64 . Both do the same. What should I be doing next ? Any ideas ?
tried the various mounting options- internal sd mounts but makes no difference in terms of being visible on my PC; external sd (with memory card inserted) gives an error message; usb storage mount- no apparent effect burning knopp disk now- and will try to get adb to allow commuication with tab...any tricks?

Frogbone said: Thanks for pointing out this great site !! Click to expand... Click to collapse It is the distilled wisdom of the xda-developers gTablet forum in one place. Consider making a donation to keep that site up.
Back home and at this again- went to "Dummies" "code red" downloaded the USB driver (had done this previously through SDK tools) and while I don't get any error messages when connecting the g-tablet; Device manager shows only a "Android Debug Bridge Interface" working ok and drive up to date. below is from the code red instructions: Using your PC, download the driver for USB connector here (clicky). Alternate source driver for USB connector. ***done*** Unzip the SystemUSB.zip file and place the folder "Flash USB driver" somewhere easy for you to find. I suggest your desktop. ***done*** Turn on your gtab by pressing the power button and volume less (-) button simultaneously and hold. Your screen will turn on with the 3 viewsonic birds and then it will turn black. Looks like it is off, but I promise you it is on in APX mode. ***As I mentioned before, I have CWM which reliably starts on holding the power button and the volume (-) button- I was able to get to a state (using the "menu" key) where the device is clearly on- black screen, but backlighting obvious.... is this APX mode?*** Do not click here. Connect your gtab to your computer via usb. Your computer will say driver install unsucessful. ****doesn't happen...did before I installed the USB driver from the SDK**** Right click on Computer icon --> Properties --> Device Manager (left side) --> right click APX and choose upgrade driver. ***I see the Android Debug Bridge (working properly) but no APX; updated this driver with the USB driver recommended in code red- shows up to date, but still no APX reference*** Navigate to where you put the USB driver folder and select the folder. Your computer should now recognize the gtab in APX mode. ***I have no idea if this has occurred. In device manager it is listed as a "Portable device" drive d...but drive d isn't accessible....any way to confirm that the gtablet is in APX mode and that I've got the correct driver on my PC---again, no error on initial connection. I downloaded NVFLash with CWM for 1.1 (the boot loader it seems most likely I had)- unzipped and ran it under the conditions above....ran nvflash_gtablet.bat (with CWM) --I get: "NVflash started" then "unknown device found" then "press enter to continue:" pressing "enter" closes the dos window but no activity on the pc and none on the tablet. If I run NVflash at the three birds screen on the tablet I get NVflash started and then "USB device not found" which I guess makes sense. Do I have the wrong USB driver on my PC? Am I not getting into APX mode on the tablet? Are the instruction different when Cwm is already installed -- should I have used the NVflash without CWM? thanks as ever.
The gTablet has 3 distinct modes of operation: 1. The normal mode. Press the power button when the tablet is switched off and this is where you land. In this mode the gTab bootloader loads the linux kernel (which the firmware supplies) and this then runs the firmware you installed. This mode is where you will spend most of your time. 2. Recovery mode. You enter this mode by first pressing the Volume [+] key, then while this key is pressed, pushing the power button. Keep the Volume [+] key depressed until you see a "Detect a recovery key pressed/Booting recovery kernel image" message. Recovery mode will take you either into the stock recovery or into ClockworkMod recovery. This mode exists so that you can a) fix problems with your firmware, or b) install things like the firmware itself using a safe kernel, a mini-filesystem image and the CWM Recovery program. 3. APX mode. You enter this mode by first pressing the Volume [-] key, then while this key is pressed, pushing the power button. Keep the Volume [-] key depressed until you see the blank screen right after the 3 birds boot logo has flashed by. This is a very low-level mode which lets you recover from a "soft-brick". You should get into this mode only if CWM Recovery can't be used to fix your problems (and 90% of problems can be fixed within CWM with a bit of thinking). In Linux you can tell which mode you're in by issuing a lsusb command: Here's the gTab in APX mode (Volume [-] and Power): Code: $ [B]lsusb[/B] Bus 002 Device 011: ID 0955:[B]7820[/B] NVidia Corp. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:c03d Logitech, Inc.

I don't want to state the obvious here, but... look at the top of the tablet and see which key is the Volume [-] key and which is Volume [+]; then press the correct key. Many other users have made this same mistake. BTW, did you try pushing the files you need to use (the 1.2 to 1.1 bootloader downgrade zip file and the GtabComb ROM install zip file) using adb on Linux, then installing the files after the push?
sesteinberg, If you can get your G Tablet in APX Mode and connectect to your PC, then the steps I went through to restore a G Tablet may help you. Guide - Restore G Tablet after a failed Recovery Mode update djab67
THANK YOU - your description of the two modes was key- with vol- plus power the tablet showed up in windows device manager as USB recovery mode (rather than APX) BUT, in this mode the tablet was recognized by NVFlash and restored. THANK you again for your time and patience. I am currently showing: Android 0s version 2.2 Tap UI version 1.1-3588 Kernal 2.6.32.9-00000-10.8.2-dirty [email protected] #16 Could you recommend a Rom? Will I need to root it before installing? (yes I recognize this as bootloader 1.1) worth going to android 3.0? appreciate your expertise
Glad we could help you. You wanted to try out GtabComb before. Beta 3.3 came out yesterday and it works pretty well--all considering. Try it out. Make sure you get the 1.1 bootloader version. Copy the file onto the SD card, boot into CWM (Volume + and Power), then do a "wipe data / factory reset" from the menu first, and finally, install the GtabComb zip file. Note that it will take some time for the first boot--about 5 - 7 minutes--so don't panic if nothing seems to happen.

[Q] Storage contents not being shown on computer (device without CID)
Hi guys Since I lost the CID of my RAZR XT910, I'v been using Boot Menu Manager. There's one annoying problem has been always bugging me. The contents of both internal and external storage are not being correctly shown on computer (Windows 7), no matter the device is connected as MTP or mass storage. For example, I create a folder with file manager on the device and then connect phone to computer, this folder may not be displayed. It seems that the contents are cached on the computer and never get refreshed. This happens most of the time. Everytime I transfer files I have to use a card reader, and this is very inconvenient. Does anyone know if this is caused by Boot Menu Manager or there's something wrong with my computer system? Thanks for any infomation in advance.
