[Root] RockMyMoto (Yes, even the first OTA)

This will void your warranty, like all root exploits. Use this at your own risk. Do not take OTAs on rooted devices unless you know what you are doing, as it may cause a bootloop or a soft brick.
RockMyMoto is designed for MotoXs that have recieved the Camera update, patching PwnMyMoto. If you are unsure of your firmware, try PwnMyMoto first.
First step is to install Cydia Impactor, by Saurik. http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ This is required. You will also need adb installed and working, and be comfortable with the command line. Your phone must be on the same network as your PC.
Figure out the ip address of your phone:
adb shell getprop dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
unzip RockMyMoto-{version}.zip and push the exploit and su to /sdcard/:
adb push su /sdcard/
adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run Impactor and select "# start telnetd as system on port 2222", then hit start.
Once the process is complete, run telnet:
telnet {your phone's ipaddress} 2222
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The exploit will tell you to use adb to reboot:
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet for the second time, it will reboot on it's own:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet for the third time, it will not reboot:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wait 0-60 seconds, for su to install, then install SuperSu from the market.
Enjoy!
Known issues:
If you have AP isolation mode enabled in your AP (aka WiFi router) you won't be able to connect to your phone via telnet, disable isolation.

Amazing! Trying now...

Doing this now. Wonderful job jcase.
Edit: It works.

OMG It worked like a charm! Thank you jcase!!!
one thing though
adb push RockMyMoto-1.0.zip /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
should have been
adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/
which should have been extracted with su from the zip.

Okay. I have never rooted like this before. Adb = command prompt? Do I need the SDK? Or just the rockmymoto and the other program?

Quick question, does this method force us to reboot recovery for system r/w like pwnmymoto?

I haven't taken the update so could I just unfreeze apps, unroot, uninstall root apps, take the update, then run this? I don't want to RSD a third time today.

Also if anyone is not by a PC you can just type getprop and whatever command to get the info you need using terminal emulator. Just don't type adb shell before getprop. And just typing getprop in terminal emulator will list your whole build.prop or you can just type getprop ro.secure & hit enter & that will tell you whether your s-off or not by listing a 0 or a 1. That was just a example if you just want to find out just 1 line like jcase first command to get your ipaddress. You would just type getprop dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress & hit enter & terminal emulator will list your sensitive data if your not by a PC

Okay I finally got it!! Yay Root!

When I try the telnet action, I get an error that the 'link failed File exists'. If I try to proceed to the next step, same error. My router is an Asus router and I made sure Isolation was unchecked, and there was a setting for telnet (never used this before) and I tried both on and off for that one.
Anybody have a clue how I can get through this?
Thanks!

[Q] Terminal not showing any output?

After I have succesfull root and unroot my terminal doesn't show any output only error messages. I'm also unable to re-root my device. When I copy psneuter to /data/local/tmp the terminal doesn't give any message nor an error message but psneuter isn't copy. I have verified it by createing in a file in /data/local/tmp and copy it to my sdcard. Gingerbreak doesn't work either and gives error "Couldn't extract asset". I have an orphaned su on my device but it has only user rights. Is there a way I can fix my terminal and re-root my device? Uh!

Are you sure the issue is not with the terminal app ?
you can try other terminal app to confirm

I tried many things I also tried a different terminal app to no avail. The solution was to copy a working busybox. I think toolbox would work, too. My busybox was out-of-order and toolbox was also replaced with busybox! As a result many blobs didn't work and the terminal was black. Su did work because it a standalone applet. Adb push to /data/local/tmp worked, too, but the terminal was black and many applet not working.

Its not OSX cause I s-off'd using my MBP. When it hangs on the su command, look at your phone and grant SU permissions for firewater to execute. This happened to me as well.

I set SU to grant permission automatiaclly. It doesnt make a difference on my end still hanging at "su"

You could also do it In terminal emulator if you if comfortable enough
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

When you uninstalled did you uninstall weaksauce and su, hard reboot, and reinstall both again or just su? Maybe try that to start from a clean slate. I also noticed that you used the chmod command before su (which must have been how it appeared at first because that is how it shows up in some instructional videos) but the firewater site now has su before chmod and that is what I used. Not sure that the order matters but it was changed so who knows?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using xda premium

That's eventually how I got it to work is by switching the order of the commands. I actually had to type in adb shell twice because it kicked me out of shell every time I just went by the old instructions

You need busybox installed.
Try this commands:
chattr -AacdDijsStu *.apk
rm "your package name"
This time it will get removed without error

You need to have root access.
Try rooting your device, use Kingroot App
Then, try these commands
su
chattr -AacdDijsStu *.apk
rm "your package name"

How can I delete the su file from the /system/bin and /system/xbin I keep getting operation not permitted

Nevermind... I just found out I delete the virus previously . I did so much stuff with the cellphone, I think what got rid of it was a "Format" I applied with the PC. Because I plugged in my cellphone and my laptop, browse its files and find the malware, and I try to delete it but it say that I was not allowed, so I just select the cellphone and did a "quick format" you know? That thing you do with the USB Flash drive, and i did, and later I found this website and I tried what you said and on the screen appear a message saying not found.... I just right now check the system apps with root brower and I cannot find the malware, even with my ikarus antivirus! Im so happy! Thank you anyways this is such a helpfull blog... Im still going to run some scans though, to really make sure the malware is gone for good! thanks again

I rooted mine and all hell broke loose. Insane lag and tons of fc's. Then I couldn't install anything and WiFi calling won't work.

Followed all instructions and even watched a video. Eng boot installed fine but trying to get root is another story. After pushing root via adb it says Success then phone automatically reboots. SuperSU is installed, but root checker says there is not root. Also starting up titanium back up it cannot detect root either.
I have re-downloaded and pushed the files about 4 additional times without success. Any ideas? Thanks in advanced.

So making new root bat with the added lines of add wait-for-device did not work. After it rebooted and the start up was complete it randomly rebooted once before I could check the root status. When it booted back up again root checker showed no root.
On a side note any have the PD8 firmware? It won't download to my phone for some reason. And I'm using my surface pro from work to do all of this and can't connect to my wifi with it. I have PB8, would it be safe to down grade via Odin then start fresh with the process if nobody has the PD8?

Wiped cache and tried again. Got this before it told me there was no root this time.

As soon as I posted my last post root checker asked for root permission. I granted it and checked root status again. It says I'm good. Thank you for the help.
