Done to my Verizon Razr, Excellent
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GulMiguel:
Obviously, there are no ROMs yet to start flashing. However, the desire for root (for me anyway) means that I get to run things like Root Explorer and other system apps that allow me a bit more control over this awesome phone. The recovery was pretty awesome also. Right now, I'm quite happy to have just that. I'm still just fascinated with how awesome the RAZR actually is. I had earlier dismissed it as a phone I would even consider. But I'll be damned if it isn't an actual good phone. Will there be some flaws to potentially come to the surface? Of course there will!! There is always a flaw. Will I go ape sh*t over it? Heck no. I think I may very well have found my last phone for a while. (That will make my wife happy - she gets sick of me always coming home with a different phone.) That stops now. Win or lose, I'm sticking with the RAZR. Thanks to all you guys for giving me some wonderful tools to go with this wonderful phone.

Rooted my standard/stock Verizon Razr with zero issues. Point of fact, not sure it matters but changed to"charge only" and definitely confirmed abd installed properly.

I am fully rooted! Yay! Great job to abloom involved, the devs are simply amazing!

FrAsErTaG,

Does this method now apply Nitro's recovery, or is it just for root access?

Droid Razr disappointment in Dallas/Fort Worth

Got Razr on Friday. Rooted, went fine. Friday night and Saturday very little 4G LTE connectivity. Exchanged phone as instructed. New phone, did not root. Again, 4G LTE very little, would switch to 3G and then to 1X and then nothing. Hit Airplane mode on, turn off, 4G LTE comes back for 10 - 15 minutes then gone. Back to Verizon store. My sales associate reported that every Razr she had sold had been returned for the same reason - very little 4G LTE connectivity. Returned my phone, got my refund with no re-stocking and back to my Charge - 4G all the time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] supermartin73:
I suck. Rogers, all good and done.

Rooted!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] facinater:
Do you remember your build date?

I just got my razor Sunday and I've been getting a very good 4g signal. Even on the fringes of 4g areas. I've even got signal in places that should not have 4g?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Droidel:
I am about to throw my razr out the window. No solid 3G nor 4G since i got it. Called support and they claim that there is a national outage affecting this.

Razr in the store doesn't drop data, my friends razr doesn't drop data. They don't want to exchange in store because there is an ongoing network issue. What is with this stupid thing. Next step Rezound?

Anybody that has rooted his European (Dutch?) model

with System version: 651.73.18.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU ??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jerrybritt:
No do not remember. Heard the line about a national problem and should be fixed, yada yada just like the Bionic. For 300.00 I wasnt going to accept that story. If it gets fixed, fine but not for me. Hopefully all of you that still have it will be happy. A great phone but the one disappointment for me was too much. Move on to next "Dream" - Nexus if and when it comes out.

Thanks frasertag
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nagnrik:
Hi, I am not able to root my RAZR... It is not able to mount /system into R/W. why the hell??? :(.. Any Idea?? Is this because of the latest OTA update I have done here??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
It's already known: zergRush exploit has been fixed. If you update with an OTA, you'll lose root until another exploit will be written.

This rooting script is based on zergRush.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stevessvt:
Anyone try to re-root after unrooting with z4?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nagnrik:
Thanks, I wait then....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CLB-NL:
Anybody with the answer on this question?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
@CLB-NL

Is it Android 2.3.6?

It seems a version prior the unofficial OTA, but after the official en.EU one.

If it is, probably you can't root it with zergRush.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] FrAsErTaG:
Hey Guys

DONATE PLEASE http://mobro.co/frasertag

​
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CLB-NL:
No it's Android 2.3.5... If you need more information, let me know!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chasmccl:
CLB-NL et al

Rooted VZW with ZergRush 4, which installed 2.3.5 in US Razr. Works fine. ROM Manager wants ClockworkMod, but only offers Bionic. Think I'll wait until the dust settles and there's a stable Razr version. In any event, I'm now rooted and able to use my Barnacle WiFi, which, for me is the biggest issue. ClockworkMod backups will be nice when available. Is anyone using Titanium got get sys backups?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BigBlue007:
CWM backup/restore already works using this recovery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 1846:
Just to clarify, are there enough resources (recovery, unroot, etc) to unbrick if the root fails, or am I stuck with a paperweight in the 5% chance the MotoDroid attacks the root program?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BigBlue007:
That depends on how much risk in life you want to accept. :D A nandroid backup from within CWM should help you out of almost any possible problems, but of course there's no 100% certainty.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 1846:
So is there any type of tool yet to be released that would decrease said risk?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BigBlue007:
Yes: A full flashable ROM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dco717:
Is there an unroot option?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BigBlue007:
Is there a search function? :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 1846:
Do you install ROM sbefore or after rooting?

And must we crack the bootloader before ROMs are made, or is it just a matter of some developer taking the time to tweak everything to the specifics of the RAZR?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] FrAsErTaG:
Im not making or baking a rom until there is an official way back to stock or the bootloader gets unlocked and we can have a real recovery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CLB-NL:
Am I really the only Razr-user with

System version: 651.73.18.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU

I want root, but I'm not gonna try the methods that are existing right now..

Because I don't wanna (soft)brick my Razr.. But I want root-acces... ****ty :mad::D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jcutter347:
Locked bootloader only prevents custom kernels. ROMS can still be made.

Root for the RAZR

Finally got my 1 cent RAZR tonight - cool phone - I have confirmed I can adb to reboot but when I run the program to root the phone I receive the error:

"The system cannot find the path specified.'

Any ideas?

**UPDATE**

adb device works, too....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 1846:
While I have absolutely no idea and I'm literally 3 days into the rooted community, I get "Cannot find path specified" lots when Comodo blocks it or I'm not running as admin.

2% chance if you run as Admin it'll work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] networkdood:
Yeah, I have been doing that. My captivate has no problems, and the RAZR is seen per the ADB DEVICES command. I will keep working on it, because I want to delete most of the bloatware. Thanks, though.

**This does work with 64-bit WIN7, right? Weird, that I cannot locate the drivers, even though I ran the installation program, but if ADB DEVICE works, then the drivers are installed - would that be correct?**
[Motorola Droid RAZR] networkdood:
THIS worked for me, THANKS!!

Happy TURKEY DAY!!!:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sir ahmed:
successfully rooted ..

but i have a strange issue !!!!! :(

the widgets of toggle bluetooth,flight mode,gps,wifi and mobile data toggle disappeared !!!!!!??

also i cant holding press on their positions on the screen!!! ( starnge )

also i couldn't get them back in any page of screen !!!

any help please :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] networkdood:
When that happened on my CAPTIVATE, I just rebooted the phone after removing the widget, and all was good.

Anyone know how to change fonts on this phone? lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sir ahmed:
infact i can't remove the widgets !! coz they are allready disappear !! and even when i hold press on thier positions nothing happen even choice options of widgets and shortcuts ..etc don't showing !!!

i really don't know whats wrong !!

i have rebooted many times it's useless :eek::confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
Usually there are TrueTypeFonts in /system/font or something like that.

It is as simple as replacing them with other TTFs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] networkdood:
Yeah, I found a couple of font changer apps on the market. Problem solved. Weird how the phone has no direct option to change fonts, but thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
Is there anyone who can confirm the root works for the 651.73.18.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU systemversion? (i own a dutch RAZR).

Annnd we have ROOT! XT910

Thanks DoOMLoRD... First Android device and rooted with ease. I can confirm this worked on an international unit (XT910 - Rogers). My RAZR is unlocked, rooted and boot animation customized.

Just a tip:

I did this on my Win7, make sure you reboot your PC after installing the moto_adb_driver.

Thanks!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] icecreamsandwich:
hey im kinda new here and just wanted to ask a few things, when i root will i be able to upgrade android normally or do i have to unroot?, whats the recovery for, does it just make a 1:1 copy of your current state or what?

thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zeidof:
Not yet, i had to downgrade
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tgeigel:
What do you mean? All u need to so is install the drivers, plug phone in abs have it as charging only, extract the zip file and clock the run.bat file
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ker~Man:
Download Mode = Samsung; Not Motorola! I Think That's asheg's Confusion!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] davidws:
Forgive my ignorance, how do I downgrade?

Do I just:

1. Copy the update.zip to phone memory root

2. Boot in Recovery Mode (STOCK Motorola Recovery)

3. Flash?

EDIT: found the instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20036927&postcount=65

just need to figure out RSD Lite on Mac...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] asheg:
well, yeah. i am a former sgs2 user.

i had problems with ADB driver, reinstalled all drivers and it worked. well strange that it can be rooted in normal mode -)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mobzter:
ok so i went through root process.. everything seemed to be fine, restarted got to lockscreen on reboot but as soon as i unlocked screen my screens gone all black, notification bar is still intact, the volume/power options popup appear, keypads would light up as usual. does seem to be running normally in background however the rest of the screen seems to have given up!

any help would be greatly appreciated right now.. thanks

**UPDATE** scratch that.. it was just the stupid golocker app
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gils3310:
Hi all

I have a problem.

I could root my phone with the en.FR version.

I flashed yesterday my phone with the latest en.EU version and now i cannot do it again.

It get stuck at "*daemon strates successfully*"

and nothing else.

Any idea ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] davidws:
You won't be able to gain root again if you installed the update. I made the same mistake and the only way is to flash the previous version. I think I'm just going to wait for a new rooting method.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gils3310:
Nope, You can gain root again.

I just try to do my stuff with my PC at works where I had a conflict with drivers. Just had to uninstall them and do it again...

Now I have root, AOSP Theme and everything on my RAZR with the UK update ^^
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
Are you saying that you used the method in this post and rooted 651.150.1/ 2.3.6?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gils3310:
Nope,

Im not talking about the OTA 2.3.6 but the UK 2.3.5/651.73.23.

This version is more up to date than the french version (radio, software and webTop, but still in 2.3.5)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gigiofriz:
how did you do the downgrade
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
Fantastic, at first I really didn't care about rooting this since stock is so good..

Then I saw that fu**ing google maps running in the background polling my GPS all the damn time.

I hate that crap, don't understand why it does this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] phaeacian:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
Ok...question.....had the OG Droid, rooted Rom'd it to death. This thing is a different beast in that it is locked down. Now....I see here a Root method using Zerglings...and a Safestrap deal. Are they both for rooting the phone? Or do I root FIRST and THEN use Safestrap to be able to switch between Stock and Rooted Rom??? Never used Safestrap. Do they both root the phone different ways? Or is it something else? I'd really like to root...dying to,really...but there appears to be LOTS of confusion as to the 'how to do it with which method' deal. I'm pretty confused about which direction to go....Safestrap or root here or can we use both or .....:confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Safestrap is a clever post-boot recovery method to safely use custom ROMs on phones with locked bootloaders. Quite different from rooting. If all you want is root access, the files in the OP of this thread are all you need. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
Rooted! Fast and painless. Now might have to go check out the Safestrap deal. :)

One other quick question about this...now that I'm rooted, can I DL Rom manager and do a CWM backup of the stock rom? Or if I go Safestrap do I even have to worry about that??? I honestly can't remember...did I DL CWM seperately when I rooted my OG or did it come in the package? IS it a seperate entity? I'd definately want to backup the stock rom before messing around with new ones on a locked BL....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iwang:
rooted, success!!!

now i can install setcpu

does anyone tried bloatfreezer, or is there any other app to freeze the bloats?

thanks to OP!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cxpher:
SetCPU can increase the min speed of the processor(by default 300 mhz i think) up to 1200 and change the scheduler to ondemand.

That improves performance but still, there's no overclocking without custom kernels and there are no custom kernels without an unlocked bootloader.

Moto needs to hurry this part up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zeidof:
on ur phone, choose "charge only" after connecting usb cable, it will work
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
Was on charge, however, you gave me an idea that worked.

Removed my extra SD card, and BAM. A OK!

Btw, forgot to re-add maps to auto kill and disable wireless location. Was down to 50% battery after only 12 hours!

With maps dead and wireless loc off, it lasted me 36 hours, with sync and some gaming + surf (!!!)

Gmaps suck ballz
[Motorola Droid RAZR] v-b-n:
Hmm ... Rooting went well .. no errors and works across all rooted apps as expected ..

However, my launcher seems to have messed up ...

1) Half the time the press on the launcher to add things doesnt do anything except vibrate (no popup)

2) If the popup finally comes, and try to add any of the toggle widgets, nothing happens ... even toggle widgets from Market dont show up on screen ... install successfully and show in Widget list just fine ... wierd !

Anybody experienced this or something similar ??

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Topgun966:
Make sure USB Debugging is on in the phone. That means the scripts is waiting for the phone but cant see it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
Sometimes you have to unplug and replug before the computer starts installing a driver.

If your computer doesn't do anything, go into device manager and check for new hardware manually. Keeps happening on my work PC.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Topgun966:
Also ADB might be stuck. Just go to the folder inside and type "adb kill-server"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
Thanks guys! I installed that dumb Motocast thing, and then it worked!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gehrc:
I just got a message on my phone that said an update was available. Does this mean that I need to unroot before installing it? Also, will I be able to root it again afterwards?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Caseyk621:
No you don't have to unroot however you will lose root after update. You will be able to re-root though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RyanTX:

So, for someone that's rooting/re-rooting, is the preferred procedure to use ZergRush V3 vs V2 that's in the OP?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RyanTX:
I just rooted my Razr with V3 and it took all of 30 seconds. Perfect. Now if we only had MIUI and other ROMs... :(

[Motorola Droid RAZR] WVULTRA:
dligon:

Had issues with the first Razr and Verizon replaced it. Have the replacement rooted using this process:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341578

And it works fine. I did use ZergRush Ver. 3 as recommended by DoomLord:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321582

And am having no issues so far. Using TiBu Pro, I've backed up all the system/apps and am freezing/un-installing bloat very carefully. Also did an adb pull /system immediately after rooting.

IMO, we've got to bear with it till Motorola releases an unlocked XFZ.

Good luck! ;)
