Motorola CLIQ rooted: Can the hackers port Android 1.6 before Moto?
24 Dec 2009 // 8 comments // Mobile Development News
It took awhile, but the guys from ModMyMoto were finally able to find an exploit and gain root access on the Motorola CLIQ. Android modder TheDude has posted the instructions so that any user can hack their phone. He goes on to say they are currently planning custom ROMs based off Android 1.5 and potentially Android 2.1.
Motorola has pushed out some updates to the CLIQ, but has yet to make an official statement about updating the phone to Android 1.6 or higher. Hackers were able to bring Android 1.6 to the G1 and myTouch 3G before T-Mobile rolled it out and I expect we will see a similar situation again.
I’m really excited to see if someone can port the stock version of Android 1.6, with no Motoblur.
My CLIQ is currently sitting on my desk with a dead battery. Whenever I can locate my charger, I’m going to hack it and provide a full report. The instructions look rather simple so hopefully it won’t take that long.

Was there a lot of dust on that CLIQ?
I’ve become the ‘Unofficial Android Guy’ at my work.
Our employer sells many phones.
I’ve gotten at least two dozen friends to buy either the G1, MyTouch 3G, Hero or Droid – all because I brag about how awesome it is at work, during lunch, at break, etc.
I CAN FINALLY NOW RECOMMEND THE CLIQ *** lmao ***
Thanks too all the devs that made this possible!
great! i just dont wanna do it till i hear more things about it like if it works or turns my phone into a chunk of metal that does nothing
Wow thank the universe, a response to our woes!
There were a lot of folks spending lots of time to get this done. Thank god it’s finally over. Well, the initial effort to root is over. Now, on to the ROMS.
