You directions were helpful but a little confusing as I explain below. Perhaps you can correct the instructions above to make a bit clearer. Thank you.

#2 says to download CWM and place it in the ‘fastboot’ folder. Well when I downloaded fastboot, it had it’s own folder on C drive and it had a subfolder called fastboot. So I put the CWM image there. But then….

#9,10 says to go to the SDK/platform tools folder and open a command prompt from there. Then in the command prompt, type, “fastboot devices”. This works because there’s a ‘fastboot’ app in that folder. So far, so good because it reads the devices serial number and I’m cooking…. But then…

#11 says to now type ‘fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery.img’. But it doesn’t work, it fails. Why? Because earlier it told me to put the CWM image in the ‘fastboot’ folder – which isn’t the platform-tools folder.

The answer was now that I had the device unlocked and fastboot was recognizing the device, I opened a new command prompt in my ‘fastboot’ folder and then typed: ‘fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery.img’

Bammo! CWM recovery opened. I flashed SuperSU from the phone’s external card and then rebooted. Root Checker app confirmed that now I have root. Thanks everyone for helping.

But when I scroll down to it, before I can do much of anything the screen goes to the warning message from Motorola saying the Bootload is Unlocked leaving is open to critical blah blah blah…. Why is it doing this? Thanks.
