Warning: This is semi complicated, and is known to ruin phones if done incorrectly. Proceed at your own risk
Needed:
1gb free space on the phone.
Working adb, must support the adb restore feature (ICS and up!)
Downloads:
backup.ab (300mb) mirrors: http://d-h.st/tau - http://depositfiles.com/files/9c61r4lgo - http://www.filefactory.com/file/2va8yp2i1h99/n/backup.ab
DNA_TeamAndIRC mirrors - http://d-h.st/D4r - http://www.putlocker.com/file/F357F205F5235B3D - http://rapidgator.net/file/59342799/DNA_TeamAndIRC.zip.html
Unzip DNA_TeamAndIRC, put runme.sh, CIDGen.apk and backup.ab into the directory where adb is (or anywhere if you have your paths setup right).
Please Check the readme.txt before continuing!
Code:
adb install CIDGen.apk
Run the CIDGen app on your phone, enter the last digit of your IMEI (NOT YOUR MEID) and press generate. Then confirm the generated file exists.
Code:
adb shell ls -l /sdcard/CIDBLOCK.img
If CIDBLOCK.img does not exist, run the app and try again. Do not proceed without generating a CIDBLOCK.img, it is needed to repair the phone and unlock.
Once you have CIDBLOCK.img on your sdcard, open two terminals (command prompts) and continue
In the first terminal/cmd prompt run these commands:
Code:
adb push runme.sh /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/runme.sh
adb shell /data/local/tmp/runme.sh
runme.sh will continue to loop and spit out No such file or link failed errors, just leave it running for now.
In the other terminal/cmd prompt run this commands:
Code:
adb restore backup.ab
Then allow the restore on your phone. Once the process is finished, you can go back to the looping terminal and stop it with control + c, or close the terminal
At this point, do not continue unless you are certain you can do this. Past this point, is where people can brick if they do not follow the directions correctly. If you run into a problem, find someone to help you. Do NOT power your phone off or reboot it. Leave it charging and find someone.
Code:
adb shell rm /data/data/com.htc.usage/files/exploit/*
adb shell mv /data/DxDrm /data/DxDrm_org
adb shell mkdir /data/DxDrm
adb shell ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /data/DxDrm/DxSecureDB
adb reboot
Once the phone is rebooted, open two terminals and repeat the restore exploit:
In the first one:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/runme.sh
This process will also loop forever and give out lots of "No such file" or "link failed" errors - again, just leave it running.
In the second terminal, restore the backup again:
Code:
adb restore backup.ab
After the restore is done, we will undo the DxDrm symlink attack and write the new CIDBLOCK.img:
Code:
adb shell mv /data/DxDrm /data/DxDrm_trash
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/CIDBLOCK.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
If this returns an "out of space error" come to our chat, and find either jcase or beaups. Do not reboot. Do not continue.
Code:
adb reboot
After reboot, you can go to http://HTCDev.com, and unlock through their official process. Choose the "All other supported models" option when selecting your phone.
Cheers!

I just did it, and it's really not that hard, took maybe 10 minutes, just copy and paste the commands and you should be good :good:
So I was able to unlock with this method via HTCDev, I installed TWRP and the insecure kernel, but my SuperSU will not work after I flashed the file in recovery. None of my apps can get root access, and I cannot update the superuser binary via SuperSU. What's going on here?

There doesn't seem to be a thread that guides you to obtain only root. All talks of flashing and bootloaders and unlocking has confused me. I only want to gain root access.
I have a US AT&T Atrix that upgraded from the latest Froyo to Gingerbread 4.5.91 through usb cable to the Motorola update software because I wasn't getting it OTA for some reason. (Android Market doesn't detect an update either)
Can anyone help me gain root?
If you were rooted before I believe you can run a script on your computer to give you root access back, though I am trying to find it myself and I've had no luck. I remember reading a few people have done this.
Don't take my word for it though...I could be wrong and I don't want to cause you harm
I did not already have root.

So I am to use these instructions from the brief mobile site?
Read the full BriefMobile Motorola Atrix 4G review! The process of rooting your Motorola Atrix 4G has just been changed with the latest updates. We’ve updated the guide below to allow users to root.
How To: Motorola Atrix 4G Root
Root method found and executed by Brandon15811, the2dcour, and of course eval-! Make sure to thank them over at the forums.
Prerequisites:
Drivers installed 32-bit or 64-bit
ADB-Fastboot package
Root image (Mirror)
Outline
1. Extract the ADB-Fastboot package and root image to your C:\ Drive under a new folder titled “root”
2. Put your device into Fastboot mode: – Turn off your device. – Hold down the power button and downward volume button until you see “Fastboot” on your screen – Push the upward volume button
3. Open your command prompt (Start >> run “cmd” >> enter)
4.Type the following commands
Code:
cd C:/root
fastboot flash preinstall root.img
fastboot reboot
5. Enable USB debugging (Settings >> Applications >> Debugging)
6. Type the following commands
Code:
adb shell
/preinstall/dosu
7. Type the following commands
Code:
/bin/mount /system -o remount,rw
cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
PATH=/system/bin:$PATH pm install /preinstall/Superuser.apk
Congratulations! You are rooted!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, use those steps.
When you get to Step 6 ..after entering this command..
/preinstall/dosu
its going to look like you made an error. ignore it and just keeping typing in the commands
When I get to the last step and type to type in the PATH... command I get:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]
Is the last step just trying installing Superuser or is there a little more to what it is doing?
EDIT: Thanks for the help. I just got Superuser from the market and all root seems to be fine. Thank again!

Just a suggestion to the OP.
You can automate the first step putting it in your batch file like that:
Code:
adb shell su & echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_adb=1" > /data/local.prop & reboot
echo "When your phone has been rebooted and connected to ADB"
pause
or
Code:
adb shell su
adb shell echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_adb=1" > /data/local.prop
adb shell reboot
echo "When your phone has been rebooted and connected to ADB"
pause
pause will show in the command prompt "Press a key to continue..." so you'll have an output like this:
Code:
When your phone has been rebooted and connected to ADB
Press a key to continue...

Update, please see the OP!
Thanks for answering newbie questions - Perhaps forums should put a newbie glossary.
are the files coming back now that fastboot is around?
How did you deodex?
Howdy all!
Did you install TWRP and then take the OTA, now you can't get your phone to boot normally, but you do see TWRP?
Here's the easy fix:
If you have ADB access, plug in your phone and run this:
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Then you should be able to successfully reboot your phone via the TWRP menu option, or via a simple reboot command in adb.
If you DONT have ADB access (because of an early build of TWRP), you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.
After that finishes, you can reboot and continue on your happy way!
Let me know if this helps anyone!
As usual, I'm on #lg-g2 in Freenode as IOMonster, if I'm around I'll be happy to help wherever I can.

I am rooted and installed TWRP recovery but reverted back to the stock recovery before accepting the VZW OTA update. I'm now stuck in a boot loop and I can't get ADB to recognize my device when plugged in via USB. When I plug in my phone it shows the following:

fastboot: processing comands
Any idea why this is happening and how I can get my phone to boot normally?

I didn't. From what I've read its just best to flash the new TWRP and not worry about the new OTA. Besides there is nothing relevant about the OTA enough to worry about going through all the trouble of installing the OTA. Also the devs have pulled all the new update files and they will use those in their Roms

Yea, let's just wait for a ROM worth flashing and "F OTA"
How can we get the OTA if we have TWRP installed?
Can we falsh stock recovery and then accept the Update?

This will void your warranty, like all root exploits. Use this at your own risk. Do not take OTAs on rooted devices unless you know what you are doing, as it may cause a bootloop or a soft brick.
RockMyMoto is designed for MotoXs that have recieved the Camera update, patching PwnMyMoto. If you are unsure of your firmware, try PwnMyMoto first.
First step is to install Cydia Impactor, by Saurik. http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ This is required. You will also need adb installed and working, and be comfortable with the command line. Your phone must be on the same network as your PC.
Figure out the ip address of your phone:
adb shell getprop dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
unzip RockMyMoto-{version}.zip and push the exploit and su to /sdcard/:
adb push su /sdcard/
adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run Impactor and select "# start telnetd as system on port 2222", then hit start.
Once the process is complete, run telnet:
telnet {your phone's ipaddress} 2222
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The exploit will tell you to use adb to reboot:
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet for the second time, it will reboot on it's own:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet for the third time, it will not reboot:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wait 0-60 seconds, for su to install, then install SuperSu from the market.
Enjoy!
Known issues:
If you have AP isolation mode enabled in your AP (aka WiFi router) you won't be able to connect to your phone via telnet, disable isolation.

I confirm that this does work on the Droid Maxx on the new OTA update !!!
Thanks JCASE Much Appreciated !!!

This might a dumb question, but why don't we just release a rooted OTA update?
Quick question about this exploit. I know that the issue with the first two earlier methods is that everything is still signature checked, which prevents Custom ROM/Kernel flashing, as well as Custom Recoveries.
Does this exploit bypass the signature check to allow for custom recovery, or not just yet?
PS: Your skills are godlike. A million thanks for your root hacks!

no, just me forgetting to attach it, seems ppl were using hte one i have in the motox forum. attached and fixed, thanks
I'm not sure why or how I did this but I am rooted with no write protection off I still have stock recovery. Everything went smooth but when I entered dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto for the first time it said I was rooted and to install super user I have tried since to go through the steps but i end up in the same spot
~ $ dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto

youve almost got a triple negitive going on there, so to clarify, you are rooted, with write protection disabled (ie cant make lasting changes to /system) and you still have stock recovery. is that right?
I am getting link failed file exists when attempting to start telnet.
Forget all that, I was using the wrong port, now the process beings to start the telnet process hangs at waiting for completion then goes back to the impactor main menu, the telnet connection is not successful after that.
I am using the latest soak test update, Am I wrong thinking that this method works with that update?

Yup sorry if it was confusing.
Ok I think I figured it out my phone is already rooted even after a factory reset. I used voodoo when I took the update and everything worked but I had no touchless controls so I did a factory reset after installing stock recovery. I must have had the protected su on the phone still and it stayed unless jcase has a work around for this I am stuck until the new fxz comes out. Then I can completely wipe su out and I will be able to start all over. It really is not that big of a deal I can use almost everything with just root even xpsosed setting work. It would appear the exploit does not allow you to run it if you have root it must verify you do and thinks all is well so it never installs the writer protection off and replaces the stock recovery. My stupid mistake for trying to short cut this I should have just did an fxz took the update and used this method.
Aaaaaaaaand back to rooted. JCASE you are the man!!
If anyone has questions on what to do ask away. it was very simple
I've never used adb before in my life. Would you recommend me trying it lol. Meaning would it be easy for a first timer.

ADB is not difficult. There are tons of tutorials all over the web. I wish I knew more about telnet and the other stuff involved tho

You need to go into settings and about phone. Scroll to the bottom to build number and tap it like 6-7 times you'll see it countdown and say "now you are a developer". This enables developer options

No problem. The rest should be cake if you have adb and have used it before. Let me know if you have trouble

would it be of any help if I sent you the dump from a phone with vipermax and twrp, or does it need to be stock/stock?
I think I know the answer, but was just trying to help if possible..

Go ahead and dump it. I can compare it to a stock build.Prop my guess is that if he modified any keys there are going to be unrelated to what I am looking for.
Do you have Sprint or a International Variant?... Nevermind I see you use sprint =)

for some reason, I keep getting a message that it cant get the file because it is being used by another process..
I am trying to get it while in my bootloader; not a booted rom..any suggestions?
thanks

Reboot your phone then:
adb kill-server (Just to make sure it's not active)
adb start-server (To get adb damon going again)
then run the command again.
I hate to be so lame...
should I be issuing these commands when the phone is booted into the rom, or somewhere else?
first htc phone in 5 years, so I forgot all this stuff; sorry!

Typically it would be with the phone booted up normally.
Keep in mind that the HTC Sync Manager may use the ADB bridge so you want to close that before attempting the commands in a command prompt. Also you may want to reboot your computer just to flush the memory in case your running an app that has a memory leak.
Thanks,
Would be easier to just pull it.
adb pull system/build.prop
This will pull it to whatever directory your running adb from.
Anyway.. Here's the stock international one and the sprint one (it was modified by me for my rom, vipermax)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3jtmlfez3x5qrrn/international_build.prop
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uoablha9gyjvhog/sprint_vipermax_build.prop
yep, doing that it popped right up!
thanks Vin
Ok have what I need. @Vinchenzop: when modifying the build prob for your Rom did you change any of the keys that report model info, product name, carrier props?
