How to root Motorola Droid Mini tutorial

The Motorola Droid Mini was unveiled back in August, together with the Droid Ultra and Droid MAXX. Like any other Motorola devices, the Motorola Droid Mini can be easily rooted as well through various exploits. If you’re interested in gaining root-access for your Motorola Droid Mini, then this tutorial is for you. However, please do note that this procedure will not unlock your bootloader so you will still be unable to install custom ROMs on the device.

Before we begin, I would like to warn you that during the process of rooting, there is a risk of bricking your own device. So if you still want to proceed, you’ll be doing it at your own risk and we will hold no responsible for any form of damage on your device. Its a good practice for you to backup your device to an external source apart from your own SD Card.
