first tutorial on how to root the backflip!
again sorry for the bad quality vids :( but hey its better than nothing.
now this is the link for the moto drivers n sdk files if you dnt already have em.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=6438

link for root files- http://modmymobile.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=28159
now unzip this onto yur desktop. then move the files to a folder on c drive. name it moto_msm_root.
(hit enter after each code)
now these codes are what yur going to type into the cmd in yur tools folder.
adb devices (to verify the connection)
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\su /sdcard/su
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\install-root.sh /data/local/tmp/install-root.sh
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
chmod 0755 install-root.sh
now you download connectbot from market. open that up on yur phone n type the codes:
cd /data/local/tmp
./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
then if you get [+] forked xxxx childs (need to wait a tiny bit) you wanna press enter on yur phone them type exit to exit connectbot.
now open the connect bot again it might show up as a black screen...so then press menu button n forseclose. then open up connect bot again n it should work if not then reboot yur phone. now when you get the # sign type this code in:
/data/local/tmp/install-root.sh
(if the script prints nothing, then it was successful)
you have now succesfully rooted yur motorola backflip!!!! :)
remember this description is for both part 1 and 2.

  • after root process (/data/local/tmp/install-root.­sh) everything worked well. BUT still typing su on terminal gives me an error reloc_library[1244]:... etc etc... cannot link executible...

    i am lost :-/

  • so to anyone who is getting the adb is not a recognized comand or something of that sort on cmd when you type adb devices you have to make sure you put the adb.exe file in the tools directory and make sure you change the system variables path to the adb android sdk tools directory if anyone needs anymore help let me know

  • Can you make become a router so you can get WiFi to a laptop like you can with the htc hero from sprint?

  • yeah you name is weird :P

  • this is all i get any help...

    C:\>adb devices

    'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

    operable program or batch file.

    C:\>adb push c:\Moto_MSM_Root\Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk

    'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

    operable program or batch file.

  • @22xx22xx22xx gives you root access..

  • I know I'm not this dense. What are the files called in your abd file and what are the files in the Moto_MSM_Root file and where did you get them. please email me if you can.

  • is this like jailbreaking

  • what does this do?

  • i've tried this on 3 computers now and it isn't working.. :/ and i just realized that when i type in the codes from the description on to "cmd" there's 2 things that i see might be the problem. when i type in the 3rd code (after adb devices) it says "cannot stat (code) no such file or directory" and on the second $ code it says the same thing.. the only places that come up with an error are when it says something to do with "rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" PLEASE HELP..
