How to Root the Motorola XPRT on Froyo

Although it’s been about two years since Motorola announced its XPRT Android smartphone, the device hasn’t been updated to any newer version of firmware and is still running the oldy Froyo. No matter what manufacturer thinks of its device, the Android Community’s there to provide users with third-party goodies, such as root methods and custom recoveries. And that’s the case with our XPRT. The device has gotten a root method as well as a custom recovery, all thanks to hard-working developers. In this guide, we’ll be showing you how you can root your Motorola XPRT and unlock its true potential!
