How to root Motorola Milestone 3 XT860

We have good news for Motorola Milestone 3 XT860. The smartphone is scheduled for a rooting. The tutorial we’re taking you through is nothing to worry about. The entire procedure will go smoothly!

A quick peek at our rooting method is in order. The tool we found most useful was SRSRoot. Your phone’s introduction to this app comes at the right time. The device is already 3 years old. Other names it’s known as are the following: Motorola XT860 4G and Motorola Milestone 3 ME863. When it first came out, your phone has this processor: dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9. There are many ways of making it move faster. The SRSRoot has all of them. Then there’s another spec your handset contains: Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread. This and all of the other Android versions are massively supported by the freeware.

The benefits of this procedure

Another important addition to your phone comes in the form of battery tweaks. Your smartphone could also do with new features, too; and it will enjoy them very soon! Other benefits of root access: custom ROMs, root-only apps and none of the major security troubles. The SRSRoot is powered by an SRS Server and it doesn’t get you involved with bloatware. This rooting app lets you play with a series of customization options, too. Superuser and admin permission is available next. Motorola-Milestone-3-XT860

The rooting has to be completed with a Build ID. Whichever variant you choose is OK with the SRSRoot. We selected 5.5.1-112_SLU-61.3. One last thing to be said about the app: many products can use it.

The default warranty provided with your phone won’t last long. The rooting takes it away, but it comes back after you’ve used a suitable tutorial.

There’s always a couple of risks when you’re after an upgrade guide. Particularly if you want this procedure for a rooted device. Following an update, the smartphone will see its root access gone. Same happens to this other element: the system partition. Every data of major important is safe; as are the internal / external SD cards.

every important bit of data inside the phone needs to be backed up;
initiate, on your Motorola Milestone 3, a full NANDroid backup;
the laptop has to come with Windows;
once done with the above, disable the phone’s security software;
