Important instructions

  1. The first of them makes an appearance by instructing you to do as follows: after the file we mentioned in our pre-requisites is on your laptop’s desktop, you should use the phone’s USB cord so that the device is connected to your laptop. This will take only a few seconds; so wait for the process to complete and then simply take the z4Root APK file from the computer to the Droid Pro memory card (if you have problems finding this file we mentioned, you will see it’s in the first folder sitting at the top).
  2. [sc name=”banner-jos”]The second step will tell you to take the USB cable out of the handset so that the two devices are no longer plugged to one another. Your next task is the following: find the File Manager app (it’s on the smartphone), launch it and then install the APK file.
  3. When you’re done with these actions, the third step will need this from you: go to the APK file and simply open it (it is located in the phone’s App Drawer). Once this is performed by you, you will then have to use the button called Root by tapping on it. This way, the Droid Pro is going to get rooted.
  4. The final step, the fourth, will ask the following: reboot the smartphone and you’ll be done. It’s now time to take full advantage of your newly rooted Motorola Droid Pro XT610!
