[ROOT] Cliq XT

[mangus7175]

You were right, I assumed it was just abbre. of command...I am now rooted, great guide, now what do I need to do to make sure the next time I reboot I dont go back to being unrooted?

Nothing, your phone will remain rooted from this point on unless a push from TMO/Moto changes that.

Sweet, will I still get the OTA update for 2.1 whenever they release it?

The stock 2.1 update will remove your root status. I would just wait until someone develops a 2.1 ROM. Which more than likely, will be a lot quicker than Moto's official ROM.

Congrats!!

Yes you will still get OTA, unless you apply a custom ROM. You are golden

How true that is. They progress that is being made by devs here is outstanding.

How hard is it to install a custom ROM once one is available?

I'm a noob when it comes to this Root thing, so I have I've Tried The Given Root Method For The Cliq XT... Can Sumbody Help?... I'm Not Too Familiar With This...

It's quite simple, just flash J_r0dd's custom recovery, and place the custom ROM's zip file on your SDCard, and boot the phone while holding the Camera button, then select the zip file to update from.

I would recommend installing the F-22 ROM until a 2.1 ROM is developed.

Just follow the instructions as written. It is easy to follow just make sure that it is done exactly as written and you will not have any problems.

Could not be more simple than what @cwierts1 stated.

Ok before I start, I need to do the j_rodd recovery first, then install the f-22m or are they integrated and need to be done at virtually the same time?

Is the recovery its own rom or just a way to select a rom such as f-22?

Yes, boot into j-rodd recovery and perform backup, then Nand backup. This will create an image of what you have on the XT now, in case you want to go gack to it later.

Then to install the Raptor ROM, use j-rodd to wipe first, then flash from zip the raptor, finally reboot to a great ROM. Just follow the instruction here http://modmymobile.com/forums/558-mo...1-31-44-a.html and no problems.

Can CyanogenMod be installed now or what?

Can CyanogenMod be installed now or what?

Have not found a ROM that will work everything yet, other than the two custom 1.5 ROMs on this web site.

Exactly what part are you having trouble with?

Thanks for the tutorial!!!

My first rooted phone and it was not hard, thanks to everyone's generous work.

After installing Super Manager I delete ~10 of MOTO's bloatware apps and the phone is running faster and much smoother. I used WiFi Fixer to keep my wireless connection working (after the 1.32.16 update, the WiFi connection would fail and I could not reconnect without rebooting the phone).

I'm now one happy XT owner who's waiting for an awesome 2.1/2.2 ROM.
