Nope. If there was, it would be all over the dev section.
The hack kit is very simple, just takes a little patience.
Hack kit is the best, read the instructions there r videos on you tube that are also very helpful

I rooted with the GUI method from Bubby, and it was very easy to follow. You do have to temporarily downgrade the ROM before restoring it to the stock AT&T one, but you're guided through the process. I recommend it.
Thank you so much! I was wondering if I had to do the gold card thing and what is s-off??

Either way you do it, with the hack kit or the one-click, you'll still need a gold card. S-off is is security off. It allows you to flash custom ROMs/Kernels/Radios
If all you're looking for is sideloading, the sideload wonder machine will do this without root
Windows
MAC/Linux
I have been using the side load wonder machine and if I root will I be able to sideload right on my phone without the side load wonder machine?

No. Make a gold card and either do attn1's hack kit or bubby's easy 1 click GUI.

If you just want to sideload then you won't need root, just use the Sideload Wonder Machine. If you want root then you'll have to use one of the two methods that gunny mentioned, there's no Superoneclick. If you go with bybby's tool it should take you less then 30 minutes to root.

Control. You control what your phone is able to do, not ATT.
Getting rid of the bloatware, ads, sideloading (amazon app store, anyone?), and of course, as mentioned, custom roms.

If all you want is free tethering follow this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960058&highlight=wifi+tether). Keep in mind - free means you don't have to pay the additional fee to ATT, but the data that's used while using wifi hotspot will still count against your data. The link to Bubby's 1 click has already been posted. Here's attn1's original hack kit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352) thread which was the original root method. Bubby's method packs this into a GUI
To the OP:
I don't know if there's a way to confirm whether or not your gold card was created successfully other than attempting to downgrade the ROM. If the downgrade completes, then you created a good gold card.
Pretty curious myself. Just starting the research phase as far as rooting goes.
I'm on the road and don't have a computer with me, is there a way to root without a computer? Does the visionary method work for this device? Just got today....

Not sure on the visionary method... All I have read on the G2x forums pertains to using a computer.
Visionary only pertains to those HTC devices with that nand-protection You'll need a computer to root
Ok I found one to use today after work... Damn we don't have much development support for this phone...

Not really sure what you're asking but both of the root methods used for the thunderbolt require the use of a computer. I personally recommend Jcase's method because it gives you insight to the way the tb works and basic adb experience.

Specifically, which version of 4.1.2? Depending on which version you have, you either can use the old root method (http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...ot-razr-hd-xt926-for-locked-devices-on-91879/) or the new method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602592).
Only use the new method if you are on 9.30.1. Anything before that can use the one before that.
I am on the 9.30.1 sorry when I Googled the root I couldn't find one for this version.

I am not boot loader unlocked but I will give it a try.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Then you want the new root method (known as Saferoot). Not sure why you mentioned you have a locked bootloader, because if you did have an unlocked bootloader, then you wouldn't have to use any of the methods I just posted. You could just sideload it via a custom recovery. But, since you have a locked bootloader, then you have to use the Saferoot method since you are on 9.30.1.
Ok I will use the second link in your post and try it out. I am understanding that there is no unlock for the 9.30.1 bootloader am I correct?

Correct. The only way to unlock it now is if Motorola/Verizon allows it to be. Otherwise, the exploit that use to exist is no longer available as it has been patched and there is no way to go back and put the exploit back in. It's been patched and lost forever.
But, with the Saferoot option, you can still root the phone. However, DO NOT GO TO KITKAT! If you do, you will lose root for good. Some are trying to find a way to find a new exploit to allow rooting under KitKat, but at this time, there is no way to preserve root over to KitKat nor root KitKat.
So, if you wish to keep root, stay on 9.30.1 JB and pray that someone finds a way to root KitKat for locked bootloaders.
Don't worry about the KK update my dad updated and he can't teather WiFi now.

Yup. That exploit requires root as it is and it's been patched. There is a way to enable it, but it requires root, so unless you have root, WiFi tethering is gone under KitKat, at least hacking it for free is gone.
So is writing to the external SD card for apps. Apps can only write to a certain directory on the external SD card, unless you have root, which in case you can then hack it to work like it did under JB. otherwise, any apps that attempt to write to the external SD card won't be able to except for their directory under the Android/data directory. And then, if you uninstall the app, it wipes out all the files saved to the SD card.
Again, having root will fix this, but only if you have an unlocked bootloader since that is the only way to get root under KitKat for the XT926.

And you can unlock your bootloader again.
Who would have thought that Motorola would have reintroduced the exploit to allow unlocking of the bootloader? Wow! Must not have used a good code management system. :laugh:
Too funny.

i think they thought you had a dev edition they probably were going to send you to there unlock site and it would not work ad they would say sorry byeeee
They said to use the android SDK and I told the woman that it is not a Dev edition. The woman was one of the generic call center people who probably didn't know how an android phone worked though.

You don't even need them, as it's been said. Just root KK and then go use Motopocalypse to unlock your bootloader.
