This is the One Click root method for the Motorola Photon 4G. Previously the best way to root the Photon was using webtop then there was a way through ADB, now its as easy as opening a batch file and waiting for the phone to reboot a few times. With or without knowledge of ADB or even Android at all you can easily root the Photon 4G in a few prep steps and double clicking a file.
Root the Photon 4G on Android 2.3.4 (One Click Root):
- Download and Extract the Motorola One Click Exploit (Download Link)
- Put your Photon 4G in USB Debugging mode (Settings -> Applications -> Development)
- Plug your Photon into the PC via USB
- Open the folder containing the Exploit you downloaded
- Run the file MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe
- Wait patiently for 3 reboots (the window will tell you when complete)
- Congrats your Motorola Photon 4G is Rooted!
Android Andvice and tutorials are in no way responsible for the use of these files. Root at your own risk although this has been tested personally and works great.
if i root my photon 4g using the above method, is there anyway to unroot if/when possible?
