Did you take Amazon Wireless up on their Black Friday deal to get the Droid Razr for a penny? Are you now wondering how to root that bad boy? We have you covered.
Fortunately, this is one of the simpler hacks you’re going to see. It’s a one-click root, and it isn’t necessary to install the Android SDK and have ADB access in order to proceed.
Instructions are a little different for Windows and Mac/Linux, so we’ve provided two separate sets of directions.
Windows:
1. Install drivers
The first thing you’ll want to do is to make sure you have the necessary drivers on your PC:
Motorola drivers for Windows
2. Download root package
You can download the one-click root tool from the link below:
Droid Razr one-click root
After downloading, extract the files into an easy-to-find folder.
3. Prepare the Razr
Next you’ll want to open Settings>Applications on your Razr and change the following settings:
USB debugging box should be checkedUnknown sources box should be checked
4. Root
Now it’s time to connect your phone to your PC, via a USB cable.
Then all you need to do is run the Runme.bat file that you extracted earlier.
Your phone will reboot, and you will be rooted!
Mac/Linux:
1. Download root files
First you’ll want to download the following compressed file:
Droid Razr Root Package (Mac/Linux)
After downloading it, extract into your ‘Downloads’ folder (for simplicity’s sake).
2. Connect
Now hook your Droid Razr to your computer via USB. No drivers are necessary.
3. Root
Open a terminal window, and cd to the Downloads directory:
cd Downloads/DroidRazrRootMacLinux
The next part will be different on Mac or on Linux.
On Mac, type:
sh runmemac.sh
On Linux, type:
sh runmelinux.sh
Your phone will reboot, and you will be rooted.
