Just to simplify the procedure for root access:
1. Download the attached archive and expand it to a folder you can find (eg. c:\desktop)
2. Set up ADB
3. On the phone: Home, Menu Button, Settings, Applications, Development: Make sure the "USB debugging" option is enabled/checked.
4. Status bar, USB connection: Make sure "PC Mode" is selected.
5. Open a command prompt (Windows: Start, Run, "cmd", OK; Linux: Terminal)
6. 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 X.
7. Run "CD c:\desktop" (or where ever you expanded the archive)
8. Run "adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk"
9. Run "adb push su /sdcard/su"
10. Run "adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox"
11. Run "adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid"
12. Run "adb shell"
13. Run "cd sqlite_stmt_journals"
14. Run "chmod 755 exploid"
15. On your phone, navigate to a screen where you can switch wifi/bluetooth on/off easily (settings, or a home screen with a widget)
16. IMMEDIATELY after executing the next step, toggle wifi or bluetooth off and back on
17. Run "./exploid" and follow directions on screen. Once this completes you'll be back at a shell prompt.
18. Run "rootshell". You'll be prompted for a password.
19. Type in password "hola mundo" and press Enter then you are root! (You'll know because your prompt will now be a "#" instead of "$")
20. Run "cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk"
21. Run "cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su"
22. Run "cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox"
23. Run "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"
24. Run "chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox"
25. Run "rm /system/bin/rootshell"
26. Run "exit" to drop from root to a non-root user shell (on phone still)
27. Run "exit" to drop back to your machine command prompt (instead of phone)

Let the fun begin and hopefully we will get cooked roms soon...
You have to be aware that there are at least two different versions of this phone. The Korean XT720 Motoroi and the European Milestone XT720. The internals are a bit different.
From memory the differences in specifications are (Korean / European):
SoC: 550 MHz OMAP3430 / 720 MHz OMAP3440
RAM: 256 MB / 512 MB
Network: Not sure, but I think they use some different HSPA frequencies
Mobile TV: DMB / None
There is also a Chinese version called XT705 which is very reminiscent of the XT720.
Anyways, as this may be my next phone I would clearly like a forum for this phone (the European one at least)
I have the Asian version XT720 with 550mhz processor, 256,ram 8mp camera, without mobile tv. why must they have so many variants i wonder...
Definitely a separate subforum would be called for. That and the new Droid X, Droid 2, etc... all different hardware.
Milestone XT720 is not released here yet as far as I know. And with all the hype on Sprint Evo and Droid Incredible, I think it's gonna take a while.

The Milestine XT720 is due to be released in the UK and Europe at the start of July.
There are no plans, to the best of my knowledge, for it to go on sale in the US.
We already got XT720 in Singapore and it is not similar to the Korean version of Motoroi. I think will be same with UK version. we're desperately looking for a way to root the phone.

I have the same, from Singapore as well.
Hi all, am from SG too....was just wondering, cant we use the method to root on milestone and apply it to milestone xt?
Yup I got the same also....
i also have a set from Starhub. Anyone knows if usb tethering is possible out-of-the-box?
Thanks in advance.
i have sent an email to Motorola Singapore, hope they will be honest to us

You could try USB or Bluetooth tethering via PDAnet from the market. No root required for that one.
exactly the same here.
exactly the same. From Singapore using Starhub
Me too looking for the same
I recently got this phone xt720.
Anyone got the 2.2 android on the XT 720 yet?
Also interested to see a app that can port HDMI video from youtube.

Dun think so, is running at 550mhz...unless we got root and overclock...if not is kinda laggy too.
Does anyone have any tricks on how to make the most of the terminal emulator that is available for install on the Galaxy Tab? I have been having a hard time being able to use tab completion on the command line, and finding the Up/Down arrow buttons (such as to run through history on the command line).
Does anyone know if the full Bash environment and/or GNU/CoreUtils are available? The BusyBox I installed on my rooted Tab seems quite limited.
Any thoughts on the Android terminal emulator (specifically on the Tab) are very much appreciated.
Thanks
Dear smart people,
When attempting to root my phone, in command prompt I type adb devices and my phone shows up but also emulator-5554. It prevents me from rooting or much else because I get error -2 devices connected.
So because of this I tried lots of other options and I was afraid I might have done something wrong onto my phone and last night I flashed with lg flash tool to 11a.
I am back to stock. please help me with root and recovery install.
thanks!
emulator-5554
hi
emulator-5554 refers to your Bluestack application in windows
you need to stop or kill those services, to do it follow the steps
1. Open Run command: press start and type run ( or ) press Window key +R
2. type "services.msc" and enter
3. wait for some time and this should open a window
4. In the new window, select "BlueStacks Android Service" and click stop [you just need to stop that service]
5. Now check in adb with "adb devices"
6. This should have removed the additional emulator, so you can continue with the rest of the process
If above steps didn't helped then try "adb -e reboot"
Good Luck :good:
Never mind. I
For LG use stump root application for easy root
Fisrt, a little backgroung:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500, Rooted, and I flashed Cyanogenmod 12.1 (CM now on) for testing purposes. First I noticed that in CM i couldn't retreive my own phone number and my SMS Center to be able to send SMS messages. CM does have a hidden menu (*#*#4636#*#*), but i wasn't able to update the SMS Center because everytime y entered the number (in my case +584240000954), the phone didn't update and allways returned blank SMSC. So I spent a couple days trying to find out the solution and the only procedure that worked for me was:
..:: THE SOLUTION ::..
::: Fixing the "Own Phone Number" :..
- I inserted the SIM card into my Blackberry phone (torch 9800) and inside setup I was able to write and save my own phone number to the SIM Card. Problem 1 Solved.
::: Fixing the SMS Center Number
- I inserted the SIM Card into my HUAWEI E353 USB STICK and plugged into my Computer. After Windows Installed and recognized the USB Stick, I went to Device Manager and Expanded the Modem devices, then after right-clic and properties I could find out the com port my modem was using (in my case was COM6), then i closed all the device manager opened windows.
- I then started PUTTY terminal connecting to the serial com6, then I fired the following AT commands:
AT (hit enter) <--- Response "OK"
AT+CGMI (hit enter) Response "HUAWEI"
AT+CSCA? (hit enter) Response in my case was "",145 wich means blank or nothing
AT+CSCA="+584240000954",145 (hit enter) --- The SMSC here is from Movistar Venezuela --- Response "OK"
In my case it's all i nedded to fix the SMSC on the SIM Card. Some people report that is needed the following extra AT command
AT+CSAS="+584240000954",145 (hit enter) <--- Response should be "OK", but in my case was "command not supported"
-Closed the putty terminal window, unplugged the USB Modem, removed the SIM Card and placed into my Galaxy S4 and.... voila.. I was able to send SMS Messages again in CM12.1
I hope this can help, i couldn't find any solution trying to send commands directly to the Galaxy S4 through USB or shell terminal.
