How to Root the Motorola Bravo

The Motorola Bravo got its software version upgraded to Froyo in April this year and within a few days, it got a working root method. Usually, when an update arrives, it just breaks the root access and the developer community then starts the work to bring a new method on the tablet. All thanks to the community, we now have a working root method for the Motorola Bravo and the following guide explains how you can use it. Buckle up and see how you can root your device!
