Rooting the Motorola Cliq XT

Still not update for the Motorola CliqXT, soooo.....


I still haven't been able to make much progress in rooting this thing. I tried the method that works for one version of the phone - the Quench. The phone is packaged as the Cliq XT on T-Mobile here in the US, but in Brazil it's called the Quench.


This is the program to root it: http://www.taranfx.com/download/instant-root.zip


The only problem is it only works on two know versions of the firmware (and one rumored version):



  • Blur_Version.0.12.196.MB501.TIM.en.BR # WORKS


  • Blur_Version.0.12.183.MB501.TIM.en.BR # Dont Work


The current state of rooting is with modifying a recovery tool. This probably means the method will be to downgrade the firmware, run the exploit, and then install a modified firmware after the exploit. It feels like we're getting close, but scraping at the edge of nothing sometimes.


Reading this forum makes it feel pretty promising: modmymobile.com.
