How to root the Motorola I1! (yet to be confirmed)
By Rainabba (thanks to Birdman for the process)Again, http://AllDroid.org has the priveledge of releasing a root tutorial based on birdmans root process inspired by the vulnerability Sebastian Kramer discovered. (Run means type the command in quotes [but not the quotes] then press the Enter key)
- Download the attached archive and expand it to a folder you can find (eg. c:\MotoI1Root)
- Set up ADB (Step-by-step guide for Windows Vista/7 HERE. <-- USE THAT THREAD FOR ADB SUPPORT PLEASE.)
- On the phone: Home, Menu Button, Settings, Applications, Development: Make sure the "USB debugging" option is enabled/checked.
- Status bar, USB connection: Make sure "PC Mode" is selected.
- Open a command prompt (Windows: Start, Run, "cmd", OK; Linux: Terminal)
- Run "adb devices". If you don't see your device listed under "List of devices attached", return to step 2 and follow the link to setup ADB (use that topic for support) and return here when "adb devices" lists your I1.
- Run "CD c:\MotoI1Root" (or where ever you expanded the archive)
- Run "adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk"
- Run "adb push su /sdcard/su"
- Run "adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox"
- Run "adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid"
- Run "adb shell"
- Run "cd sqlite_stmt_journals"
- Run "chmod 755 exploid"
- On your phone, navigate to a screen where you can switch wifi/bluetooth on/off easily (settings, or a home screen with a widget)
- IMMEDIATELY after executing the next step, toggle wifi or bluetooth off and back on
- Run "./exploid" and follow directions on screen. Once this completes you'll be back at a shell prompt.
- Run "rootshell". You'll be prompted for a password.
- Type in password "secretlol" and press Enter then you are root! (You'll know because your prompt will now be a "#" instead of "$")
- Run "cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk"
- Run "cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su"
- Run "cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox"
- Run "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"
- Run "chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox"
- Run "rm /system/bin/rootshell"
- Run "exit" to drop from root to a non-root user shell (on phone still)
- Run "exit" to drop back to your machine command prompt (instead of phone)
To Confirm root is established:
- Run "adb shell"
- Run "su" (now you should see the # sign which indicates you are root)
- Watch your screen so you can allow Superuser root access.
You're done! feel free to kill the bloat apps snd such. NOTE: It might be a smart idea to do "rm /system/bin/rootshell" after you have su and superuser in place as ANY program will have access to your root if you leave it (cause everyone will know the password) Credits

I have been working with Birdman on this. The original exploid file from the DroidX worked but of course the rootshell was not written to /system/bin/. Birdman put together the new from my data from my i1 but it is not recognizing the new file. I checked to see if exploid was in /sqlite_stmt_journals/ location and it is. So just being curious I put the from the DroidX in there again and it ran. Then put the new back and when I entered ./exploid it said not found. I am kind of curious though, on the DroidX files there are five files and in the new one there are four. The new one is missing the exploid.c file. Could this be the problem and what exactly does the exploid.c file do and which one is being pushed over to /sqlite_stmt_journals and ran when we run ./exploid?
Thanks,
Greg

Thanks,
Greg If 'ls' shows exploid, then './exploid' won't return "./exploid: not found". Perhaps something about it not being executable in which case you'd need to run the chmod step. That's just basic linux for ya. Tommorrow we could setup some remote access if you want my direct help.

When ls it gives me the following:
ls
phx
sqlite_stmt_journals
cache
sdcard
etc
system
init.iDEN.rc
default.prop
init.goldfish.rc
init.rc
data
sbin
sys
init
proc
dev
Does this look right to you?
When I chmod 755 exploid it goes through and doesn't give me any error, why does it work with the droidx version and what is the second exploid file that is a .c file that is with the DroidX files?
Thanks,
Greg

I didnt obviously or I would b telling you what happening im guessing this is a master reset combination, well if anyone has tried please post response I acquired a Boost phone, unlocked it for Nextel Brazil. All worked fine but I couldn't send sms or use IDEN internet. I did the reset described above and now all services are working fine. During the reset a image of a phone being took out of a box appeared. Since ALL my data were erased, it's probably a master reset/factory reset. It solved my problem thank you. Now i'm looking forward to root this baby.

The button combination you described above does an out of the box reset. All information is wiped back to new state.

Has anyone done the root? If someone could, please explain whether this process is even posted up and gave some error, how to correct this error. I appreciate everyone's help.
Regards,
Marcelo.

I got a friend that just got a i1, I was going to root it tonight. I looked at it for 5mins last night, the browser is trash imo but for a $50 a month unlimited this should sell good. Also there is way to many icons in the status bar, I hate blur we need aosp on this now :) I need to play with some more though, a quick scroll through settings and I see that you can't mount SD and have ADB at the same time :( Oh and ADB is in Settings/USB Settings if I remember correctly.
So let me get this right no one rooted this yet? I guess someone did or the tut wouldn't be here, or in theory it works?
I would try to push busybox to /sqlite_stmt_journals and chmod busybox if you pushed the other files from tut already then run exploid?
cd c:\MotoI1Root (or where ever you expanded the archive)
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid
adb push busybox /sqlite_stmt_journals/busybox
adb shell
cd sqlite_stmt_journals
chmod 755 exploid
chmod 755 busybox
Immediately after the next command, you will need to disable and enable the wi-fi using the power widget on the phone:
./exploid
then run:
rootshell
enter password rootnow
prompt will change to # - now we have root
