Titanium backup has all apps still on file and you can go back and scroll through the list of apps. At the very bottom of the list you will see everything you uninstalled.

I cannot root with motofail2go probably on my RAZR M (XT907) key directories are locked down. This is ICS 4.0.4.

Mine was stuck after "getting root this may take a minute or two" and I just quit on it. I used root checker and it said I had root. This was after like 5-7 attempts so I don't know where it got the root but that was my last attempt.

So you should d/l root checker from play store and just see how far you got. I also replaced superuser and su

Jelly Bean success and root success.....BUT

I was able to do JB and root by replacing the two files "su, superuser" BUT....I am still having a problem. I am a new poster as well as being kinda new to rooting, etc so excuse me if this ends up being a simple thing.....

The whole reason I rooted was due to the inability to move apps to my 32gb sd card.....I ran out of space on the internal drive and heard rooting the device would allow me to move apps to the sd....

What I have done....

Successful root via the prior discussed methods and verified with "rootchecker" as a successful root

Installed "apps2sd" and attempted to move.....the is no option to do so! The app lists what apps can move but there is no option to move.....

what am I missing here???? I tried other apps that can move to sd without success...

Please and thank you in advance for any assistance!!

Hey, dude. Go to the Q&A section of this forum....there's a post called cannot move apps to SD card or something like that....look at the last post, I linked to the tutorial of what you have to do....I did it and it worked 100%! I was so happy when I found that hahah good luck

[Droid RAZR M General] Rtalian:
The motofail2go_windows.zip also includes a "run.sh," which works in MacOS. I expect it would work in GNU/Linux, too. The other thread, though, is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33153019.

As for the "run-as: Package 'com.motorola.bug2go' is unknown" issue, I was able to get around it without a wipe. I spent a lot of time and tried a lot of methods, but what I believe specifically fixed it is running the following in place of the "adb install Sudoku.apk" command:

From regular command line:

adb push Sudoku.apk /data/local/tmp/Sudoku.apk

Then from within "adb shell" (though you should be able to run it like the other shell commands):

pm install -i com.motorola.bug2go /data/local/tmp/Sudoku.apk

After this, the com.motorola.bug2go package was finally found by the run-as command.

Very noob question...

Doesn't uninstalling these applications free up space in internal storage?

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

So, just to be clear, based on this thread, you can use Titanium backup on a retail M without Root or unlocked bootloader to uninstall default (bloat) applications.
[Droid RAZR M General] altspeed:
You don't need an external app. You can disable/ uninstall from the native app manager.
[Droid RAZR M General] toddbecker:
Thanks!

I won't actually have my M for a few days, but the impression I had gotten from reading forums and reviews was that you couldn't remove the Verizon installed software. Playing with one in a Verizon store, that seemed to be the case as well. My overall concern is the amount of available space in internal memory, which seems to be approximately 4 GB off the shelf.
[Droid RAZR M General] alwaysbelieve1:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no way to uninstall apps that are built into the ROM because you may be able to disable them however I've never seen how to uninstall them...WITHOUT ROOT and using titanium backup.

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

Also isn't Verizon's backup service kind of redundant since most everything gets backed up with our Google accounts? I also have all of my pictures going to my dropbox account and syncing that way so I never lose them.
[Droid RAZR M General] narrow_minded:
I went through the whole process and got an "Exploit failed" message at the end. Any ideas around this?
[Droid RAZR M General] toddbecker:
So confused...

This is what I was trying to confirm. Your statement was my understanding, however, mk1151's post seemed to indicate that removing the apps after disabling and a reboot was possible using Titanium.
[Droid RAZR M General] narrow_minded:
Did it again and got "Exploit Completed"... but still no root. I did everything exactly as instructed.

Just to clarify, when I try to install USB drivers for Motorola, I end up downloading the Motorola device manager. Is this right?

Also, I am using a MacBook Pro and running the JB leak.
[Droid RAZR M General] Rtalian:
Look further up in the output. Do you see, "run-as: Package 'com.motorola.bug2go' is unknown?" If so, try replacing the following step:

adb install Sudoku.apk

with:

adb push Sudoku.apk /data/local/tmp/Sudoku.apk
adb shell "pm install -i com.motorola.bug2go /data/local/tmp/Sudoku.apk"

and continue with the rest of the steps.

Prinder than

Rooted my stock Razr M without any problems.
[Droid RAZR M General] wintermute000:
would this affect OTA if you leave your bootloader locked and otherwise don't mess with anything else (build.prop etc.)

All I really want is titanium and adblock
[Droid RAZR M General] got556:
Yes it could possibly affect any future OTA's. If you freeze stuff through TiBu then the OTA will not install. Just install OTARootkeeper and temp unroot before flashing any OTA's.

Secondly there will never be an unlocked bootloader for any of Moto's current line up.
[Droid RAZR M General] wintermute000:
I have an Australia GSM model not your US CDMA version so not sure about bootloader. But even on stock this thing flies so not particularly fussed. I also paid extra for local stock so want to keep warranty. Thanks then probably live without root I can deal with ads.
[Droid RAZR M General] IndianaBond:
A noob question: can we still get OTA updates on the rooted M? No JB leak installed.
[Droid RAZR M General] antp121:
I don't think so. I think you can use OTA Rootkeeper to preserve your root, unroot for the ota, and re-root after the OTA.
[Droid RAZR M General] got556:

You have to go back to stock through RSD Lite. Just so you know, this is the RAZR M thread, please ask for help in your respective thread :)
[Droid RAZR M General] jlivolsi:
Just to let you know the link from (wwwDOTdroid-lifeDOTcom/2012/10/16/droid-razr-hd-razr-m-and-atrix-hd-all-rooted/) leads to here, which is the post for HD, M, and Atrix. So, you probably will get questions about the HD, M, and Atrix on this thread, like mine. I apologize for the evident frustration in my post but I am pretty annoyed with Verizon for pushing this pointless update. I have used RSD Lite to restore the factory default, re-rooted my phone, and made sure I had survive OTA selected for superuser. The thing is Verizon forces this update to the phones, so I have no choice but to install it. I can't always hit the delay option every hour on my phone. Is anyone going to try to find a work around to this? If I knew the details of the Android operating system and what exactly I needed to do to get root I would just do it. Since I don't I need to ask those who do if they are going to be working on anything to get past this. Why do some get root after the update and some don't? What is the difference between the phones? I can tell you I uninstalled the apps I didn't want, i didn't just freeze them. I completely removed them. The update didn't seem to have an issue with that however.

[Droid RAZR M General] schufly73:
It took me many many tries before I could get root on JB. Finally I went to stock, rooted, used ota root keeper, then applied JB, and rooted again. That time it took. I must have tried a hundred timed before that.
[Droid RAZR M General] wintermute000:
well I just realised the Australian Razr M is bootloader unlockable like the dev edition, got the unlock code sitting in my inbox :good:

my question is: if I choose to unlock, how do I root without exploit?

Yes worked for my Aussie Razr M as well...got it, charged it and then rooted it. Now for Titanium Backup to do its magic. :) Loving the phone...
[Droid RAZR M General] wintermute000:
well I've invalidated my warranty now just by requesting the unlock code (didn't realise you were busted even if you don't flash it lol) so I might as well go ahead and unlock. So I don't need exploit, whats the 'full' version of getting root?

In absence of CWM I can't just flash a superuser zip?

Official jb update started rolling out today. Does this still work after the official jb update?

98.12.4.en.US
[Droid RAZR M General] Paramemetic:
No, but I'm trying to fix it. It fails due to Sudoku.apk being unable to install "INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED," among other things. It might be a lost cause but I'm going to try to fix the apks and see if I can't get them to push and run manually. If I can I'll try to rehost it.

No promises though.
[Droid RAZR M General] fletch33:
Didn't work for me after the update until I did a factory reset then it worked perfectly with replaced su files listed earlier in thread.

After factory reset it worked on the first try.
[Droid RAZR M General] believejason:
I’m on ICS, and I haven’t rooted yet. My phone decided (while I wasn't looking) to start the update process, and I am unable to stop it. For now I just have all data turned off so that it cannot continue to download the update. I want root, and it looks like I’m getting JB whether I like it or not, so the question right now is :

Should I hurry up and root before the update is applied? Or should I allow it to update normally and then try to root the 98.12.4.en.US Jelly Bean

You say that it works after the update if I factory reset and replace the su files in the exploit? Can anyone else confirm this?

If I root first, will the update apply correctly? If so, will I still have root privileges after the update?
[Droid RAZR M General] fletch33:
i can not tell you what your experience will be since reading this thread a few had some issues.

all i can tell you is what i did:

1. was root

2. lost root with update this morning

3. on JB with update

4. tried and tried(prob 15 times or more) to root the update on windows, linux, and osx and failed due to Sudoku.apk with the warning about UID changing.

5. thought i was going to be without root

6. did a factory reset of the M

7. using W8 with replaced su files listed in this thread it worked on the first attempt

8. all root apps working and root checker verified i am root as well

thats all i can tell ya
[Droid RAZR M General] Usagi_chan:
noob here.

Rooting does not make the phone network-independent, does it?

I have the standard Razr M, not the Developer one.

I think I'm stuck with Verizon even if I root the phone. That's true isn't it?
[Droid RAZR M General] freak4dell:
First of all, if you're looking to take it outside the US, it's all set to go out of the box.

Now to your question. Rooting doesn't affect the radios directly. However, after rooting, it is possible to flash a different radio and use the phone on AT&T or T-Mobile. I don't think the radio image that we need has been publicly released yet, though. The developers that are working on it have gotten it working on a Dev Edition phone, and so after they are sure that there aren't any problems, I'm betting they'll release the method to the public. I think part of the issue is that SafeStrap isn't to the point where things can be flashed yet, too. We'll get there, though, sooner than later.
[Droid RAZR M General] sototallycarl:
This works, no previous root needed. Factory reset is key.

links for root that include JB

Found links on www dot droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/5151-root-for-droid-razr-m/

that allow rooting in JB on the leak version. I'm guessing it works in the OTA version too.
[Droid RAZR M General] Yehudah:
I guess I'm still a little peeved. Is there absolutely no way to root a stock/retail M? As smart as the devs are, are the retail owners just stuck?
[Droid RAZR M General] audiomixman:
A sailboat? Why? :)

Sorry, I couldn't resist. We take our power cat to the Bahamas every year. Unless this phone is different from the previous Verizon "global" phones, you'll need to call them to have them SIM-unlock it for you. They should do with without question if you're account is in good standing and you've been a customer for at least a few months. Global support: 800-711-8300
[Droid RAZR M General] Yufice:
This entire thread is about rooting a retail M.
[Droid RAZR M General] Yehudah:
It's actually confusing. It's been posted that only DEV versions can be rooted and not retail versions.

I've personally tried the rooting process at least a dozen times with no luck. I finally gave up after reading that it's only available for DEV versions of the M.

Please verify.
[Droid RAZR M General] freak4dell:
You should read through the thread again. The method discussed in this thread is for the retail edition. You may need to replace a couple of the files to get it work, and several people have had to try numerous times before it finally took. It's all explained in the thread.
[Droid RAZR M General] ChuckLezz:
what problem are you currently having? and what version are you on (ICS or JB)? And ya, re-reading the thread might help.

[Droid RAZR M General] Yehudah:
I read the whole thread again.

I factory reset the phone and re-rooted. Root Checker says I'm rooted. While I feel like I've accomplished something (installing JB and then rooting), I can't seem to figure out how to dump the bloatware. I've forced them off, but shouldn't we be able to remove NFL, Slacker, Audible, etc?

And once I'm rooted, what's next?

I'm not a noob to smart phone hackery, but I came from winmobile, then apple... so I guess you could say I'm a droid newb.
[Droid RAZR M General] nwix:
nevermind

Fixed it, just had to factory reset, thanks everyone!
[Droid RAZR M General] Yehudah:

The only issue after the reset was the loss of two apps, and had to fix a few contacts. Other than that, the entire process took less than 20 minutes.

To remove those apps, you need to use something like Titanium Backup.

Just picked up my retail Razr M. On jellybean and rooted with no hang ups. Here are my steps:

1. Install Motorola Drivers (on your pc)

1. Updated it using the official OTA update.zip. (download the .zip to the root of the SD card and then update from it via recovery.)

1. Factory Reset

2. Turned on USB Debugging

3. Replaced the su and superuser files with the ones in here

4. Ran the run.bat as administrator. Followed the instructions.

5. Let the phone reboot and BOOM rooted

[Droid RAZR M General] hokieputter:
I'm running the official JB OTA. Just tried the root exploit and it worked like a charm. Here's what I did.

- Factory reset my device

- Replaced the Superuser.apk and Su binaries with the latest ones from here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/ Or you can just grab the zip attached here. That will work.

- Turn on USB debugging

- Run the batch file as administrator (not sure if this is necessary, but people had been reporting success, so I did it that way). To do so just right click and choose "run as administrator".

- Make sure you hold volume up + power for long enough. You will get one quick vibration, but that's not the one you want. The second is the one you're looking for, it comes ~5 seconds later.

- Hit enter to reboot and you're rooted. Very simple.

I verified root access with Root Checker, TiBu, etc..
[Droid RAZR M General] Yufice:
Download this: http://www.aosp.us/wp-content/files/Root.zip

Inside the folders you will find su.apk and superuser.apk. Copy and replace the ones that came in the original post with these two apks here.

TB is a great program. If you want to get rid of bloatware I'd say it's worth the 7 bucks; freezing apps is the only 'safe' way to get the crap off your phone.

OTA RootKeeper did the job!

This was my case: I was on ICS 4.0.4, rooted, installed OTA RootKeeper, updated to JB 4.1.1 without problems, launched OTA RootKeeper, and restored root. I was able to keep my original root (no need to root again in JB) thanks to OTA RootKeeper. :D

It looks like u got the failed UID and the 'com.motorola.bug2go' is unknown issue which someone previously told me you need to perform a data/cache wipe in order to fix and start over... here's what I did.

- lost root upgrading to Jb ota

- tried running exploit and got those 2 errors like you did.

- performed a factory reset.

- downloaded updated su and superuser.apk and swapped them in the exploit file.

- re-ran the exploit and it worked like a charm.

The only issue I had was with the bug report. Mine wasnt working at all and it took me six times for it to work. Good luck!
