Rooting is one of the pre-requisites required before installing custom recoveries and other advanced features. Now there’s a rooting guide for Motorola Atrix HD MB886, thanks to XDA Developers member djrbliss. The name of the exploit is MotoFail2Go (sounds more like an app though).
There’s no unlocking of bootloader required, and this method has been tested on SIM-free and Bell variant of the device. The method is also applicable on Photon Q, Razr I, Razr HD and Razr M. However, the main device to be used for this guide is Atrix HD model number MB886.
Before following the steps, enable USB Debugging on your phone. Install handset USB drivers, and make sure you’re using a Windows PC. Charge the battery properly and disable any security softwares on the computer as they may interfere with installation of drivers and files. Create a backup of the important files and data (help). Please note that the instructions are to be followed at your own risk, as we won’t be responsible or pay any damages if anything unfortunate happens.
