you need
moto-fastboot.exe not fastboot.exe
adb files found in petes root tools
Petes root tools
modified root.img in batc
instructions
extract any .zip or .gz
move all files to same folder like C:\root to make it easy
Enable USB debugging on phone
open command prompt
enter
cd/
cd c:root
adb shell rm /data/preinstall_md5/magic.md5 ( don't worry if you see an error)
adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/preinstall_md5/magic.md5
boot phone to fastboot
run commands
moto-fastboot.exe flash preinstall root.img
moto-fastboot.exe reboot
let phone boot complete, then reboot again (reboot just replaces the local.prop, but the old local.prop is still in memory, till second reboot)
command
adb shell should give you a root prompt (# instead of $)
run petes root tools, zerg rush, or superoneclick
then you rooted
