The Droid 4 from Motorola has barely been out for a few days now, and developers have already found a way to root it. XDA member mattlgroff has released an All-in-one utility tool for the Droid 4, which lets you root and unroot, install safestrap recovery so that you can flash custom ROMs later, and a lot more. At this point, the fastboot files for the Droid 4 were not available, so they are not included, but once they are out, the developer would be including those within the utility to allow you to also be able to do a system restore through fastboot.
