Root Motorola Backflip

Root process requires a PC / laptop which is then connected to the phone using a data cable. phone should also have a microSD.

I assume the rooting process is implemented in the PC / laptop using the windows operating system.

Before process of root, the preparations that needed are:

• Install adb on your PC / laptop. Please download it here. Take that in accordance with the operating system your PC / laptop.
• Install the 'motorola usb driver' in the PC / laptop. Please download it here. Take a motorola 4.7.1 drivers motoconnect.
• Download the files to root. Please download it here. May need to make a user id first before you can download.
• Extract 'rooting file' above to a folder that's easy to access. I put in c: \ backflip
• Download from the market 'ConnectBot' and install on mobile phone

Preparing motorola backflip:

• Plug moto to the PC / laptop using a data cable
• Make sure USB debugging mode is active. The way is go to the "Settings-> Applications-> Development. Then tick" USB debugging ".
• Make sure the connection mode to PC / laptop is "PC Mode (Charge Only)"

Start doing rooting from PC / laptop:

1. Type "cmd" in start menu windows (without quotes). The screen command prompt will appear.
2. Type "cd 'location' sdk \ tools" at the command prompt windows
3. Type "adb devices" at the command prompt. Later will come the list of connected devices. If not means a PC / laptop has not been successful in detecting our devices. Try to re-connect the data cable again.
4. Type "adb push c: \ backflip \ Superuser.apk / sdcard / Superuser.apk"
5. Type "adb push c: \ backflip \ su / sdcard / su"
6. type "adb push c: \ backflip \ rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin / data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin"
7. Type "adb push c: \ backflip \ install-root.sh / data / local / tmp / install-root.sh"
8. Type "adb shell"
9. Type "cd /data/local/tmp"
10. Type "chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin"
11. Type "chmod 0755 install-root.sh"

Now we turn to the device in a state still connected to a PC / laptop:

• Run 'connectbot' that have previously been downloaded
• Login as localhost
• Type "cd / data / local / tmp"
• Type "./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin"
• Wait until it says below. 

 Forked xxxx childs.

• Press enter and type "exit"
• Run back ConnectBot
• Type "/ data / local / tmp / install-root.sh". If there is not any message, it means that process of root successfully.
• Type "exit"
