How to root Motorola Bravo


The Motorola Bravo which is similar in design to the earlier released Citrus features a 3.7 inch touch screen, a 3 Mega Pixel camera, a FM Radio and GPS. The device has a 16 million color LCD glass display which shows vibrant and sharp graphics. The Brovo is equipped with an internal accelerometer. The device’s user interface includes Motorola's new MotoBlur interface.

Before we start, DISCLAIMER: Rooting may void the device’s warranty and the below mentioned method may be a bit risky and we are not responsible if the device is damaged or you lose data, therefore it is advisable to please proceed at your own risk.

Make sure that the battery is fully charged, because if the battery drains totally during the rooting process, bricking may happen. Also make sure to create a backup of the device data such as SMS, internet settings, contacts and other media files in order to get data back in case of problems.

Please make sure that ADB is installed. If you have not already installed ADB, please check our previous post for the same.

Once ADB is installed properly please download the Droid2Root.zip file and extract its contents to a folder “C:\Droid2Root” on the PC. Please create the folder if it is not already present.

Now connect the device with the PC using the USB data Cable. Please make sure to enable the USB Debugging option on the Motorola Bravo Android phone.

Open the command prompt in the PC and enter the following commands in the exact same order as listed below.

    cd C:|Droid2Root
    adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
    adb push su /sdcard/su
    adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
    adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
    adb shell
    cd data/local/tmp
    chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
    ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

Now wait for the process to get finished. The process might take 10 to 15 minutes. Once the process is over, the device will automatically reboot itself.

Once the process is finished, you will return to the C:\Droid2Root directory. Now type the following commands in the command prompt.

    adb shell (this will take to the # prompt)
    mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
    cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
    cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
    cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox
    chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
    chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
    mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
    exit

After finishing the above process, please enter the below mentioned commands to root the Motorola Bravo,

    adb shell
    su
    mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
    rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
    pm uninstall com.noshufou.android.su

That's it, once this process is over please disconnect the device from the PC. Now go to the Google Play store and install the latest version of Superuser app of any developer.

So that’s it you now have a rooted Motorola Bravo.
