Easily Root your DROID 4 & 3, RAZR, RAZR MAXX, and BIONIC
Share:
Now users of the Motorola DROID 4, DROID 3, DROID RAZR, DROID RAZR MAXX, and DROID BIONIC can easily root their phone. Thanks to Dan Rosenberg's new MotoFail program for PCs, it can be accomplished in just a few short steps and in less than 5 minutes.
First, you need to make sure you have Motorola 5.4.0 drivers installed on your system. Then download the MotoFail file to your desktop and unzip it. On your phone, go into the Settings/Applications and check "Unknown Sources" and in Development check "USB Debugging". Connect the phone to your PC and select the "Charge Only" on the phone (this may be in the top notification bar). After it is connected, and the Motorola USB drivers find the phone, open the MotoFail folder on the PC and click on the "run.bat" file. This will start the rooting process, and the phone will restart a couple times. When it is done, the program will say the rooting process is completed and you can unplug the phone from the PC. Now you can use Superuser, BusyBox, AdsGone, Titanium Backup, Root Explorer and any other program that requires the phone to be rooted.

Answer for #2 post: Try unplugging the phone from the computer. Make sure you have the Motorola Drivers installed on your computer and the USB Debugging checked. Next, try plugging the phone back into the computer, but use a different USB port. If you are using a PC, typically the ports on the back of the computer work the best. Attempt to run again, and if it fails again, try to download & unzip the program again. If it fails yet again, I have no clue.
Answer for #3 post: YES! Rooting a phone allows you access to everything the phone company doesn't want you to have access to. Some of these things will turn your phone into a very expensive paperweight. Some of these things give you access to abilities like backing up your apps & data.

i just did this and i still am unable to use any of the wifi tethering apps ( seems verizons wifi tething program still blocks it ) if you are planning a pc/laptop tether just get easytether or pdanet they both work without rooting

I think this root procedure is useless, There has to be another root procedure out there..... There may be another file or process to add to this procedure to make the tethering work.

Rooting does a lot more than allow you to bypass paying for tethering. If you really want tethering to work, pay for it or get yourself a ROM with it built into the ROM. Calling the one click root procedure useless is just ignorant. If you can't even get the tethering to work on your own, I highly doubt that you are competent enough to use ADB and Command Prompt aptly enough to be able to root your phone through traditional manners. I'm not meaning to flame you, comments like that just annoy me.

before rooting ppl with problems, do a restore than start new.
