They screwed themselves over because of the Dock, haha.
Btw, there's another way to root your Photon too. I've used it and worked great. It's called Photon Torpedo. No HD Dock required. All it needs is a computer, mouse, keyboard, USB to Micro connected from your computer to your phone. Plus a few small commands in the CMD Prompt. Easy!

hi there!!

can you please post a clip on how to Root using the newer methods posted on XDA???….

i think the DOCK ROOT is probably not going to be the preffered way since an HD dock is pricey!!!

Thanks so much !

Glad I didnt do this,because my phone blacked out and I had to go up to sprint for a new one, and that was one of the first thing they asked me, is my phone rooted.

I don't get it if you know the root password (admin i assume from the video) can't you easily root it ?

Will the this Root effect insurance purposes, meaning if something happen to my phone will I be able to take it back , with out them finding a root on my phone and telling me I'm not eligible.

@KeithChalant Yep.

Well, I think it's a soft root, which is why it works on the Photon so early. Just port the stuff that's worked on the other locked up Moto phones, and voila, root.

Not at all ROM or recovery friendly, seeing as you can't actually do much aside from use SU(super user) required programs.

Why so fast? Is this phone even out?
