How to Root the Motorola Devour

1. Use the USB data transfer cable to connect the Motorola Devour to your computer.

2. Extract the devour_root archive anywhere on your hard disk drive. Although it is better to create a new folder to hold the extracted files, it is not mandatory.

3. Open the command prompt and install ADB Devices by running these commands; hit the 'Enter' key after each command:cd\

cd AndroidSDK\tools\

adb devices

4. Press the 'Home' button on the Motorola Devour and tap 'Settings.' Tap 'Applications,' tap 'Development' and enable the 'USB debugging' feature. Tap the phone's Status bar and select 'PC Mode' in the USB Connection section. Activate Bluetooth on the Devour.

5. Use the command prompt to run the following commands; hit the 'Enter' key after each command:adb devices

CD X:\devour_root

adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk

adb push su /sdcard/su

adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox

adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid

adb shell

cd sqlite_stmt_journals

chmod 755 exploidEnter the path to the extracted devour_root archive instead of 'X:\devour_root.'

6. Run './exploid' in the command prompt and immediately turn the Bluetooth off and then back on, on the smartphone. A shell prompt will appear on your computer screen.

7. Type 'rootshell' in the shell prompt and press the 'Enter' key. Enter 'secretlol' when you are prompted for a password and press 'Enter.' You are now a root user on your Motorola Devour. However, after you restart your phone, you lose all root privileges.
