[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herbbowlman:
Count me in as one that wanted good specs in a smaller phone. I've been sitting on an upgrade for my Incredible since the beginning of the year. The trend towards huge phones really had me disheartened. If I didn't see the Razr M, I probably would've gotten a iPhone 4s.

My Razr M arrives Monday. Can't wait.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwartzman93:
I have a Galaxy S3 but I wanted to share a tip for anyone looking to unlock the bootloader....Samsung was supposed to release a Developer Edition Galaxy S3, but they never did....When the bootloader still hadnt been unlock they were saying it was completely possible to take the unlocked bootloader from the developer edition(if it had existed) and port it to the Locked S3...so if someone does happen to buy the Developer edition, they should look into helping out the rest of the Razr M community
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
That would be nice, and if something like that existed, we wouldn't have to use the Motorola tool, so they wouldn't know that we unlocked it. We might just be able to go back to the locked one before sending the phone in for service.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwaysbelieve1:
Agreed and I was actually going to be doing the exact same thing, but was quite disheartened because I didn't want to be giving up android.

So glad that didn't happen! :)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard_rsp:
Well, i am not a developer, but I bought a RAZR M off eBay and apparently its a developer phone... don't know if I could be any help, but I might be willing to give it a try if no one else steps up...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlgroff:
Have you unlocked it yet? Please PM me if you need help
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str0ntium:
Just make sure your Android SDK tools are updated to 4.1 and that your your device drivers are up to date. Also helps to plug the phone in, after the moto software is installed, while it's in debugging mode once. It will install some diff drivers for that mode. you should have no problem unlocking.

To get the phone ready to get the code, just power it down. Hold both volume +/- keys down and then the power button. Use the down volume key to select AP Fastboot. Then volume up, once, to select it. Now, connect the usb connector and go to c:\Android-sdk-Windows\tools in a cmd console. Type what the site advises and go from there (- the $'s).

And, I have to add... Those who use the Atrix HD as an example that this thing will be hard pressed to be rooted...we will have unlocked bootloaders out there. That means someone can find an exploit to at least get us root. Unlocking the bootloader is probably not going to happen. It's hardware locked. I would love a root exploit, though.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard_rsp:
Whoa, hold up a bit......Maybe I should have posted that I am still a novice with Android in general and REALLY don't know even WHY I would root, etc.... I like the stock ICS and don't really have any desire to modify even my launcher - so I may very will be a LAST resort for getting anything done; however, I wanted to offer that I might be willing to try and help (if no one else does).

As far as unlocking, I believe the my phone came out of the box ready to go (at least I have a developer options menu in my settings).
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
Everybody has the developer options. That's different from unlocking your bootloader.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard_rsp:
Yikes! That tells you how little I know about these things!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str0ntium:
The developer options are part of ICS. Has nothing to do with whether you have a developer edition, or not.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard_rsp:
Ahh good to know! OK, so maybe I don't have a developer edition... (actually I don't know if I do or not- bought on eBay)... sorry folks, carry-on
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str0ntium:
The only way to tell is to follow the steps I outlined, before. Go to that site and follow the instructions. If the number you paste into the box doesn't bring up a button to unlock the bootloader...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richard_rsp:
Well, no dice. Mine is a regular version (which is good for me, cause it has a warranty (!). Good luck with the rooting - sorry I couldn't help!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str0ntium:
It may take a while, but we'll get root :) If there are unlocked loaders, out there, we will get root.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
I wouldn't really worry about not getting root. Even devices that nobody has ever heard of have root, and this device has a bit of interest in it already, so I'm 99.9% sure that somebody will figure out how to root it. Plus, even if somebody hasn't figured it out for the M by then, the HD uses pretty much the same hardware, and somebody will figure it out for the HD. Most likely, though, somebody will figure it out for the M first, then that method will probably be good for the HD as well.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwaysbelieve1:
Now that is VERY good to know!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlgroff:
Now that is a VERY big assumption with no technical reasoning behind it.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Has anyone who already has the stock Razr M tried booting into fast boot and running the command "fast boot OEM get_unlock_data" to see if it returns an error?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jntdroid:
It does nothing - just returns a list of items as if you only input "fastboot" - i.e. the various options/strings to go with the fastboot command.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianf21:
Holding both volume keys at the same time while plugged into the computer will boot to recovery. After the droid shows up, pressing both volume keys again will get the menus.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jntdroid:
And in order to get into the bootloader (or rather fastboot), hold down both volume keys while powering on, a white menu will pop-up, volume-down navigates, volume-up selects. Select AP Fastboot.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Str0ntium:
This was all covered in post #20...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jntdroid:
Not that I'm surprised, but this "universal root" method doesn't work. Had to try it at least...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianf21:
Which method does that use? I tried the one with the insecure /data/local/12m/batch file, but the file is not there. I can't find anything with write permissions. If we could get a readable copy of init.rc then we might be able to see if there is something that is writable. The debug flash that is out there might be our best hope.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jntdroid:
Forgive me as you're getting over my head, but from his thread:

"It uses a remount timing issue in Androids "adb restore" service."

Don't know if that helps or not...

The batch file in his .zip might be helpful, but some of what he's doing in there goes over my head as well, so I won't try and interpret. :)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jersey846:
I am highly considering finally upgrading from my Droid Pro which is rooted. After rooting, I have a hard time believing I could live without root now. Root Call Blocker is an absolute must as well as Titanium. All the rest of the call block apps that don't require root are barely any good at all. If this phone gets rooted it's easily my next phone. Heck, even my Droid Pro has root... and I bet half of you haven't even heard of the Droid Pro unless you are one of the three of us who bought it.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celticjon:
I'm in the same boat. Currently have a Droid Pro, seriously looking at the M. I don't want a huge phone and the M seems to fill that sweet spot. The M seems like it's fast becoming a popular phone, and since it has similar guts as the Razr HDs, I'm sure it will be rooted eventually, although who knows exactly when.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jersey846:
I totally agree about the size. Call me crazy, but I don't have Kindle sized pockets... nor do I want Kindle sized pockets. The size of the M seems perfect! As do the specs and the price.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwaysbelieve1:
Bueler...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jersey846:
Well I've ordered the Razr M so hopefully root comes sooner or later because I'm really gonna miss it until then! The considerable upgrade in performance, style, and technology from from what I had on my Droid Pro will tide me over in the mean time.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwaysbelieve1:
This phone totally rocks and I'm coming from the Samsung galaxy s2.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarzy00:
I understand that root probably won't come out for a while (if at all) but just curious if there are any devs currently working on root at this time?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jersey846:
I'd love to know too! I am thinking the demand is there from what everybody is saying.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlgroff:
Call me crazy but I think devs are getting the dev edition ;)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
That's what scares me. To many of us, this is the best (maybe even only) phone option right now - powerful phone in a small form factor, but with the developer edition being unlockable, I'm afraid we may never see root nor any rom support :crying:
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jersey846:
It's still very early on. My Droid Pro even got root suport.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarzy00:
Since the dev version is out, I'm praying the that their would be an exploit between the 2 devices... but ya never know
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmydafish:
That was easy and a piece of cake. The Razr, HD, Photon, emmm not so much. I don't see root happening anytime soon.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlgroff:
You don't need to look for an exploit on the Dev Edition at all. Flash CWM Recovery (thanks to P3Droid for making that ;) ), flash root.zip and its done.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarzy00:
Already feeling like I should have gotten the dev edition... ;(
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlgroff:
You might still be in your 14 day return period? You can get another phone that's unlockable instead.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarzy00:
I can't tho because I sent in my rebate right away before I even knew there was a dev edition... unlucky me.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remf4i:
Where does a person get the dev edition?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlgroff:
http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/Developer-Edition/developer-edition,en_US,sc.html

Shipping out Friday according to some buyers who had a bit of delay.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wado1971:
I received mine from Motorola on the 19th. I think the delay is over. Bonus feature on the dev edition is a nice signature on the Kevlar back. Just in case you needed a little push.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuke61:
I didn't order my dev edition until the 23rd, but I just checked and my order is still "Being Processed" - bummer.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwaysbelieve1:
What is the advantage to the dev version over the regular? This income

Phone is awesome even without root IMO.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarzy00:
I agree, but the dev version can be unlocked (boot loader) and apparently the dev version has root already? Not 100% positive on this tho
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlgroff:
1. Build insecure kernel from source.

2. Flash insecure kernel.

3. Root.

4. ???

5. Profit

OR

1. Build recovery.img

2. Flash recovery.img

3. Flash Root.zip

4. ???

5. Profit

Someone has done these already.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwaysbelieve1:
If they have done them already why don't they give them to us so that we can do that on our phones now?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrilax_CZ:
Dev edition root isn't any kind of hack, that's why there isn't any topic about it. You simply unlock the bootloader and then do whatever you want :)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
It probably wouldn't work on regular Ms, because regular Ms are locked down.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvo515:
Where are you finding this stuff
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
For the Developer Edition:

http://aosp.us/?p=294

I assume the fastboot commands just wouldn't even work on a regular M, but I have no clue. Try it at your own risk if you want, but I'm thinking there's no way it's that easy.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlgroff:
Those commands will work but will brick your phone unless you restore factory partition images. Not a good idea on a retail M.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwaysbelieve1:
Delete please
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allc0re:
I got the Razr M almost a month ago now. I love it, but I miss root (I had Galaxy S international) terribly! I would work on exploiting it if I knew how to begin. I really think this 'it's not the dev edition so buy a new phone' mentality is just lame.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwaysbelieve1:
Absolutely absolutely absolutely agreed and wish I myself knew more so that we can work together to make that happen for our Razr M community!

I am S-Off & currently running ViperRez v1.0.3 on my Rezound. However, am attempting to update to latest RUU which brings some concerns. I read the instructions provided by Android Police but just need to clarify issues before I proceed. Basicly I will be doing this through my Rezound as I just moved & don't have Internet yet. But my question is do I need to do anything else besides rebooting to bootloader which will flash by itself after renaming to PH98IMG.zip & placing on root of sd card.

searched but couldnt find any answer to my problem.i installed the cwm recovery using following steps:

Download the cwm tar package and odin3 here

Put phone into download mode and connect to the PC And open odin3

Flash the cwm tar package as PDA and wait for phone to reboot.

now i want to root my galaxy ace s7500 but i can get it in cwm recovery mode (holding volup+voldwn+home+pwr button). when i do this,fone just starts vibraing and screen remains blank. however,it restarts and works just fine.

tried to remove the battry and followed the same steps.now all i get is a blink of cwm recovery mode and then screen turns blank again.

it shows the yellow triangle on startup which means cwm is installed.

plz help.

thankx in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hacknet07:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3 (no root)

Carrier: AT&T

I lost my LTE service overnight in a spot which had consistent LTE speeds of 15-20mb down since I bought the Galaxy S3. At&T said that they did not throttle me, since I was well under my 5GB limit, so I'm not sure what the heck is going on. They also stated that there were no known outages in this area. It's been over a week since I've seen any LTE in my office. No structural changes to the building. No towers were erected in this area within the last week.

Does anyone know any tips or tricks to fixing this LTE issue? :confused:

Global Warming? :silly: :D

Any advice is better than no advice. Thanks! :)

If you provide me with a fix that resolves my issue, I will donate $5 to your PayPal account. :good: :good:

UPDATE: Apparently there are several people complaining about this issue. It seems as if At&t is having issues with the LTE service here in Los Angeles.

UPDATE (9.24.12):

At&t gave up on trying to repair the issue. There is a brand new GS3 somewhere in the FEDex office with my name on it. I will still donate the money to one person from this thread for trying. I want to thank you all for all of your help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
AT&T will not admit they throttled you - its a customer service nightmare for them to have to deal with irate customers.

Their policy is to tell you there is nothing wrong on their end and to return/exchange your sim and/or phone for a new one instead of dealing with the "i'm throttled" yelling.

its actually kind of smart ,as im sure they would otherwise be getting 10's of thousands of calls a month regarding throttling.

how fast are your speeds now? and what is your current data usage at?

---

so that AT&T wouldn't have to admit they were throttling my sister (same account) they replaced her iphone for a brand new (refurb) and gave us $150 credit on the account for "our troubles"

next day she sold her iphone for $450 on craigslist and got an android =)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
You're not throttled.. Being throttled you would be at 512k capped though speed tests could report 500-600k.

Anything above 1mb you're 100%not capped and something else is going on

Another long shot, despite the obvious software tips your trying. Could it possibly be your sim card? Theoretically the sim could be bad. First though I would also go to settings -> mobile networks and make sure you have lte enabled. Stupid I know. And if you have battery saver enabled it might be disabling your lte to conserve battery life.

I can't see how a factory reset would help. Try the above first.
