I wake up everyday looking for news about 2.3 getting released. I am on 2.2.1 so I lost the ability to root. So i hope this comes out soon and if anyone has any info please post.
Officially it should come out in "coming weeks" as this tweet suggests - http://twitter.com/googlenexus/status/16974464310845440.
But there's a way to root your 2.2.1 anyways. Follow this guide:

Just unlock your bootloader.
I have tried the super one click no luck
Other than unlocking, which is the preferred and safest way to do it. You could just follow the guide that was linked here. I did it for my friend just last week because he was afraid of the official way to root for some reason. It worked perfectly.
Yeah I did it the rageagainstthecage way.

Works fine for me. Did you get stuck at the looping problem after following the steps in the OP?
The way around that, as many of us have discovered, is to turn the phone off then run SuperOneClick and select 'root'. Turn the phone back on once 'waiting for device..' is shown in the program and then just leave it until it finishes.
Ensure USB debugging is enabled before you get started and that your PC has the required drivers installed. (Check Device Manager).
To be fair the Original Post needs updating as the instructions aren't very good without the above being mentioned.

Dumb question but, does that method allow you to install custom roms (e.g. CM7) without unlocking the bootloader, thus keeping the warranty?

Using exploit to root allows you to get rooted device without unlocking the bootloader. However, I cannot tell you 'your warranty is kept' for certain(as long as bootloader is locked and you can revert to stock, I think it's okay).

This does not unlock the boot loader....... and, yes you can flash roms once rooted.
Good luck on that warrenty buisness.

If you do revert to stock there should be no way to tell you ever modified the rom, isn't that right?

His question isn't about relocking the bootloader. But as long as you reflash the stock ROM and recovery, then I don't think there would be a way to tell without further examination. Regardless, HTC isn't too strict with the warranty claims, as many members on this forum have claimed warranty and sent back rooted phones to HTC. You should be fine.

that's 3 weeks. "coming weeks" being a PR equivalent of more than a month, we should be waiting for gb another 2 weeks at least...
It's only 5% of GB, but you can have the keyboard from it. A definite improvement and works perfectly on my N1 with 2.2.1 (no root needed):

So I did the root keeper wrong and updated, losing root. Anyone else in this club with me? It's only been a few hours and I already miss it.
Atleast I have better pictures though....

You could reflash the software back to before the update with the KXZ firmware and try the process over again. Depends if the hassle is worth it to you.

This process is just flashing the firmware through rsdlite which won't happen because it's a downgrade. I tried.

Some of us didn't want root in the first place! #TeamStockMotoX :silly:
I'm confused as to why someone wouldn't just unlock their bootloader if they are going to be making changes to their system. I understand the warranty issue but who uses that? Most people go through asurion and they won't even notice. Haha

Your wifi was only screwed up within Recovery mode (write off) correct?
I have a similiar issue. Whether its affecting other things or not, i dont know.
But what do you mean you restored via RSD lite and did it all over again and it was fine?
How did you ujse RSD lite to reflash the firmware since you got the updated OTA, it wont let you downgrade

My wifi was messed up in any mode. It wouldn't turn on for some reason. I restored the 17.51 firmware after the botched update messed up my wifi and it worked fine and I actually ended up doing it 2 times since a titanium backup messed up my phone. I was definitely on the 17.54 update. It definitely let me downgrade. How would you like me to prove it to you?
my wifi messed up in recovery mode but lte works. Normal mode everything is fine. I am rooted now with latest update.

Me too. My wifi is FUBARED in recovery. It's because we don't have the new kernel and to be technical were using the old system/recovery in our "recovery mode" I think that's why it's working in the regular mode and not recovery mode..... Or that's what I understand. Though I'm probably wrong.
When I upgraded I got a failed upgrade after final boot. Although it still says the newest version. I'm tempted to RSD back like some others have just to try but I don't want a paper weight.

While I'm kind of excited to see SafeStrap out, and updated (fixes phone/data, etc...), I'm still hoping some attempt is in the works for unlock on at&t.
Regardless, there aren't any custom roms to really flash anyways.
Had I an unlocked bootloader, I'd have a custom kernel in the works, and maybe some custom roms with some TeamAcid love.
Come see, come saw... Patience wins all.
Just wondering...
I was about to go through the process when it ocurred to me that the update would be coming AT SOME POINT.

Root, for sure. If you're on 19.6.3, you will have to RSD the 19.5.3 image so you can achieve the permanent root with write protect off, then take the OTA up to 19.6.3.

He is right. Root it because soon you wont have the chance too and will regret it.
I will add, that I started with 19.5.3 and achieved root with WP off. I have not tested the OTA using RSD to go from 19.6.3 back to 19.5.3. I only assume perhaps wrongfully, it will work. I have had no trouble restoring my now debloated stock image from SS. Had the Eclispe ROM in the stock slot, didn't care for it and went back to my image. Root access only tools are cool.:good:

The unlocked bootloader will allow you to use AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod however -
Once you have permanent root with WP off - with SafeStrap installed you can backup your stock slot. I was looking around for ROMs for the Maxx and happened to find one for the stock slot, seems you can not install a ROM into any other slot as it just comes up with the belly up android bot. But an Eclipse ROM did install to the stock slot. It wasn't anything like CM and more resembled the stock ROM only somewhat modded. I just didn't care for it and restored my back up. I used ROMToolBox to uninstall the unwanted Verizon and Google stuff and made a new backup.
Bootloader remains locked. Everything works including wifi hotspot, cameras, etc...
"RSD lite will work that's what I had to do. It will take about 5-10 minutes and all of your data will be gone but its worth it. Just back everything up"
Just so you know, there is now a method out that allows you to go back to 19.5.3, root and return to 19.6.3 with full root and write protection off without losing data. I did it last night and everything worked, without losing any data.

If you have the 19.6.3 version, you can revert back to the 19.5.3 and ONLY 19.5.3 update. This can be done using House of Moto if you wish to keep your data. Once on 19.5.3, root is possible. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are able to go back to previous system versions (i.e. 19.6.3 -> 19.5.3) as long as it is the same version of android (i.e. 4.4 -> 4.4).
For bootloader unlock, the only way to go about that is through the Chinese vendor. This can be done for any system version.

No and yes. You need it unlocked to install the image and they recommend locking it when done but you're not going to want to. It returns it to stock Lollipop so no root.

All Your Root Questions Answered:
This thread is a work in progress. Ask your root questions, and I'll answer them in the OP. This way we can clean up the other thread.
Thank you @DmdStar, @somberfox, @CrashXXL, and everyone else I missed (which I will add to the OP)
Q: I followed all the directions and after I finished the root procedure, my device is stuck at the M logo? HALP.
A: You didn't follow all the directions, and now you're going to have to start over from step one. Flash SU6-7 in RSD Lite as mentioned in the directions, and follow the directions word-for-word. You're only wasting your own time, not ours.
Q: My phone is stuck at the black green and the root script isn't detecting my phone?
A: You're probably using a USB3.0 port which isn't supported. Move your phone to a USB2.0 port and install the Qualcomm drivers provided in the download.
Q: Why is it taking so long, I think it froze.
A: Just leave your phone alone and get a coffee. Make that three. It's a long process.
Q: Can I install blah-blah ROM?
A: NO! While this is a perma-root, you are unable to disable write-protection, therefore you can't use Safestrap.
Q: Now that I'm rooted, can I unlock my bootloader?
A: SU4-21 was the last system update that worked with Sunshine. Unless you can get in contact with the Chinese middleman, you're out of luck. Sorry.
Q: Why won't my changes to /system persist after a reboot?
A: Unfortunately, no one has managed to circumvent write protection on the device, therefore you can't do anything to /system and expect it to persist unless you do soft-reboots. Sorry.
Q: Can I delete system apps?
A: No, unless you edit the system.mbn and split it into 16mb chunk files. There's no way around this, sorry.
Q: Can I install your Busybox image?
A: I mean if you want a brick, go right ahead. No one's stopping you.
Q: Viper4Android?
A: Which needs Busybox. Again, feel free to proceed at your own risk.
Q: Can I downgrade to SU6-7 if I took the upgrade to SU6-7.2?
A: Yes, you can. There's no magic trick to downgrading to SU6-7, just flash it in RSD Lite.
Q: Can i have only root with SU6-7 and locked bootloader?
A: You can not unlock your bootloader past SU4-21.
Q: Wait, if we can downgrade to SU6-7, why not just downgrade to SU4-21 and unlock our bootloaders?
A: Because you can't. Debating about it on the forums won't magically make it work neither. Nor will complaining about Motorola locking down the devices. You bought an on-contract device that you knew was going to be locked and stock. They also had a developer edition MAXX for sale. If you didn't get it, blame yourself, not Motorola/Verizon.
Q: Can we take the OTA update without losing root?
A: Yes, but you will lose Xposed if you do.(Answered by @DmdStar)

yeah thx
Nice one ! Thanks for Viper4Android information. What preset did you choose (battery saving, high/super quality) ?
Actually I don't see what stops you from deleting an app, although it's faster "frozing" it via Titanium for example (paid solution). I removed some files successfully (I should try with apps). Also, did you try installing another ROM ? I didn't take the time to try it but it might work with the python script. You just would have to replace almost all memory blocks, which would take 16+ hours (!!).
I've another question : did someone succeed in installing CF.Lumen ?
Thanks again for the faq

P.S. that azure blue really hurts the eyes.

It's possible if you edit the image like what you're doing. That answer was meant more for people who want to edit /system directly from the device. I'll clarify it.

Only if you put it in the image before you flash it to the phone it seems, if you do it afterwards it does not persist.

Dude why are you telling people to take the update when we already know that it'll break Xposed? If you're not here to help, don't post. Simple as that.

i don t tell anyone to update the Droid maxx.
are you referring to losing functionality of a baked in exposed? I am running the crash exploit, with non-baked exposed, on SU6-7.2
