    • It works for the current OS!! You can check it by visiting the xda official thread given at the bottom of the post.. If you do have further queries do let us know 🙂

      • Since Motorola/Verizon has a locked (and encrypted) bootloader and the current OS is 4.4 (KitKat) I do not see how this is possible. In fact there is a bounty of over $2000.00 for anyone who can root the Droid Maxx and no one has collected. SlapMyMoto by Jcase requires 4.2.2 but there is no way to flash my phone back to that. It is not a developer edition. There was hope that you could buy an unlock code from some guy in China but he was arrested or something and no longer sells.

  1. When I type ‘adb install -r MotoRoot1.1-Droid.apk’ it says ‘can’t find ‘MotoRoot1.1-Droid.apk’ to install. When I type ‘adb devices’ it shows the device attached so I know the bridge is open, but it can’t find the apk files on my phone. How can I direct it to find the apk files?
