Hey man I understand how frustrating this can be. I think I did the same thing you did. Are you using the files from the very first post in this forum? If so that's your problem. You probably have Jelly Bean on your phone android 4.1.1. In this thread there is another post w the proper files replaced to work with JB. Also did you do a factor reset on your phone b4 trying to root it? If the rooting fails you should do a factory reset before trying again by going to Settings-Privacy-factory reset. Then retry it. Thats what worked for me.

This is the post with the files used to JB tool

[/COLOR]I also had to modify my Motofail to make it work.

ICS and JB use a different superuser.apk and soduko.apk

Normal ICS Tool: http://ppl.ug/Ose_N98ng90/

The Modified JB Tool: http://ppl.ug/2qKBLMKDeGo/

(I have already replaced the apk here and also included the source of the new apk)

- 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. ## I have already done this for you in the JB download ##

- 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. Profit.[/QUOTE]

I think I got a little futher
[Droid RAZR M General] law10:
help

I apologize for the quick question, but can anyone explain what else I need to do? I have downloaded the other su and Superuser files,

updated my drivers on my computer, and enabled USB toggling. My phone is connected and at 100%. When I run the run.bat file as administrator,

it only goes up to this point and stops. Any idea why the root will not run?
[Droid RAZR M General] poeskippds:
you need to wait longer. Mine hung up there for a couple min. you may need to do a factory reset.

Thank you yet again for coming up with a root solution for another moto device, your contributions have been invaluable. Despite the locked bootloader there are many of us who desire the best built android device (IMO). I ran the script with no problems. After reading through the pages of this forum it helped me through in a breeze.

I just traded the superuser apk with the supersu and trade the su binaries as suggested and it worked the first try. Thank you and thanks to everyone who posted there experiences with this matter.

This is the new process for JB, also posted here is the old file for ICS.

Make sure to match the correct file to the Correct Firmware.

I just got my Razr M from somebody, it still had ICS loaded, and factory reset. I rooted it first with the motofail2go After replacing the Superuser.apk and SU as explained above. I then Downloaded VooDoo OTA rootkeeper, and it protected root through the OTA to JB, and restored root just fine. I am now on JB OTA and rooted, all apps working great. Thanks for explaining on switching the .apks and SU files!
[Droid RAZR M General] blindman75:
I rooted my RAZR m a few weeks back. After the last Jb update I lost root but regained root with voodo root keeper. Today something I did with supseruser caused me to loose root. Vodoo says the device is rooted but the root permission granted box is not checked. Tried to update su but failed.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks it worked great

My first moto root

Hey I just rooted my ladies Razr m after a good month of convincing her into letting me. I followed the instructions as posted above and it was quick and painless. She had the J.B. OTA update as soon as she turned on the phone so I made sure to use the updated files as was mentioned. Thanks for making it all look easy
[Droid RAZR M General] whodisname:
I don't have my.razr m anymore cuz I broke the screen. But I rooted it about 6 times after sbf back to stock bla bla. Use motofail2go. Replace the superuser and Su with the ones found here specifically for that. Make sure you go to the unzipped files and replace the unzipped superuser and Su files with the ones in the unzipped superuser and unzipped Su file. Then unzip. The bug report is actually full of play. Turn the volume all the way down. But before you open the moto file just relax a sec. Unplug your phone from the comp. Go get a glass of whatever you like to drink, some chips or whatever.

Now. Uninstall any Motorola drivers you have. All of them. While this is happening go ahead and factory reset your.phone. make a backup first if it matters to you.

Now.when uninstall is done on your pc reboot. (I know I'm going overboard with the instructions but would you rather more than enough or not quite sufficient?!)

http://m.motorola.com/us/consumers/Mobile-Phones/mobile-phones,en_US,sc.html?start=0&sz=500

Go there. Somewhere around there is a thing to hook that or any Motorola to your comp. (I don't have a computer right in my face right now)

Install that.

Reboot both your phone and computer. Don't plug your phone in until all boots are totally complete. Then wait for the windows to pop up that let you know your phone is hooked up. Ie... " what you want to do with this dri e, pi k an action etc. Twice it must ask you. And I hope you have also taken this time to put your phone into mass storage mode and enable android debugging and also enable no. Market apps.

Now. At this point you are ready to ensure that your. Phone volume is all the way down to silent.

Deep breath.

Now, run motofail2go.

Follow them instructions. Take your time. It ain't really time sensitive.

PROFIT.

Hope this helps.

OK i may try this. I just hate to do a factory reset. Is there anyway around this?
[Droid RAZR M General] whodisname:
Look you are already on a computer. Just copy the files.from your phone (with a right click and hold) to a new folder you create anywhere you want. Make a new folder and call it "razrmbackup" or whatever. Copy both drives and you don't lose much at all. And root is totally worth it.

---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------

Ps idk. I don't think so but if you got a min of free time try it without. I'm not totally convinced the reset is mandatory either.

I just ran motofail2go and it seemed successful. I have superuser on my phone but rootchecker is saying im not rooted. also tried titanium backup which also says im not rooted. Ran motofail2go, and it also completed again, but still dont have root access.

EDIT: Used Germanese's JB link for motofail and that worked! All good now
[Droid RAZR M General] blindman75:
Can you provide a link for the jb version of motofail
[Droid RAZR M General] lennykravitz2004:

[Droid RAZR M General] alwaysbelieve1:
Mine does the same thing and I have followed all the instructions explicitly. I am running Windows 8 if that matters.

What did you do to get yours to work?
[Droid RAZR M General] blindman75:

[Droid RAZR M General] alwaysbelieve1:
Ok so my replacement Razr M has 4.1.1 is that an issue for root because no matter what I do it won't go past the setting and turning on Daemon screen. I left it for the past 3 hours and it is still there. What do I need to do? I already factory reset everything and rebooted my computer.
[Droid RAZR M General] whodisname:
Kinda puter you got?

Ps. If it ain't done in 15 min it ain't workin.
[Droid RAZR M General] alwaysbelieve1:
Fujitsu... My prior Razr M was rooted on both ICS and JB. And no problems reading back then. So I don't understand what the problem is now. Maybe the files are not the right files. Or does it not root on 4.1 .1?
[Droid RAZR M General] slogar25:
This method works for jb 4.1.1. How long has it been since you updated the Motorola drivers? I think they have updated them recently.
[Droid RAZR M General] alwaysbelieve1:
I updated them last night because I thought that might be an issue; however that did not work either. Could this be a Windows 8 issue? Because when I rooted before I was using Windows 7 still.
[Droid RAZR M General] slogar25:
Could be, I haven't used windows 8 yet. Did you reboot your computer after you installed the driver update?
[Droid RAZR M General] alwaysbelieve1:
Oh yes... still not rooted. I'll be trying another computer over the weekend to see if I can make it work.

Unroot after root?

So our warranty is void after rooting the device? Does that mean if I was to drop my phone and the screen cracked, Verizon would not send a replacement phone because I have it rooted?

Another question. If I root my RAZR M and it was "bricked" dies that mean I cannot unroot it to fix it? I dont understand the term brick and how to fix my phone if that were to happen??? Please help
[Droid RAZR M General] Coronado is dead:
If they check the root checker, yes, they could deny the repair/replacement. I have heard that using an SBF to restore the phone resets the root checker to 0/0, but I have not been able to personally confirm that yet, so take that with a grain of salt.
[Droid RAZR M General] whodisname:
Verizon wouldn't send a phone to you in that case anyway. It means that you can't get a free phone due to hard/software malfunctions or improperly built device. If your phone works fine for a week then its unlikely that one of these problems exist anyway. (Nit impossible tho) your insurance will replace it no matter what. If they have stipulations about rooted phones then just throw it in the dishwasher. Let em check THAT!

[Droid RAZR M General] jabeth407:
Got Rid of It

After talking with motorola for hours with chat & phone calls, they finally tell me that the RAZR M that I had couldn't be rooted. I asked lots of questions as to why but, couldn't get straight answers. When I asked how aftermarket hackers can root a phone that isn't hooked into their bootloader unlocker program they wouldn't tell me. Round & round I when with 'em. They told me to get a phone from them that could be rooted or unlocked. I'm not convinced their the same thing as motorola's rep told me it was. I bought a RAZR HD developer edition for 6 times the cost of the RAZR M. I unlocked it. All the root dependent apps tell me it isn't rooted. At this point, I have $1,000 invested in 2 months and I'm no closer to getting a phone call recorded or a rooted phone. I have got to be the only programmer to stupid to understand the OS on these phones.

I'll switch over to the HD forum and harrass knowledge from some more people.

[Droid RAZR M General] MJ5150:
I followed these exact step on my Razr M that I received from Verizon with Jelly Bean. No factory reset necessary, I am rooted.

I will comment on the amount of time until I got the vibration. I got a vibration as soon as I clicked on volume up & power. Nine seconds later, I got another vibration, shorter than the first one. The batch file completed in 36 seconds, and then rebooted my device. I opened Titanium backup, and it was able to gain root access. Root Checker also came back with a successfully rooted message.

The only complaint I have at this time is the device seems just a little slower than it was before I rooted, which is unfortunate. Not a huge amount slower, but enough that I wanted to mention.

Can't root my Razr M

Hi everyone!

I am following all the directions, and my phone responds to all the steps done by the exploit. It asks to induce a bug report (power+volume up) and I do so, and my phone vibrates twice. Then my phone vibrates again and the exploit says its done and asks me to press a key to reboot my phone. The phone gets rebooted, but when it's not rooted. I did this several times, but nothing happens.

PLEASE help me as to how to overcome this issue.

Are you on ICS or JB? Also, where did you grab your root/zip file from in this thread, from the OP or from post # 299? Maybe you've grabbed an older (the original) version, or the wrong one...???

for those having trouble, I replaced the su & superuser apps - also, when performing the bug report (power + volume up), make sure before hand that your volume is not all the way up. wait until you get a double-vibration (not a single vibration followed by another single vibration a few seconds later) - this double vibration is back to back.

after ensuring these two steps, it worked for me. thanks to all!

Root is regained

I have a Telstra Razr M that I HAD recovered Root using Voodoo OTA RootKeeper BUT after the JB update, nothing would work for me to regain root.

After trying every permutation within this thread including Factory resets I was getting a little frustrated - the bug report exploit just wouldn't work - None of the motofail2go exploits nor another 'Reset exploit' regained root.

Then I found this thread - Root Achieved

Followed the instructions & root is regained

So - if it just isn't happening for you, give this a try!

Sithra
[Droid RAZR M General] shepherd17:
Just to be specific, you rooted a Japanese Softbank Razr M device without factory resetting? I haven't found any way to do this and have tried everything in this thread. It seems like there are different results depending on which of the multiple models of Razr M you have.

If you are saying you did this on a Japanese Razr M, any advice you might have as to what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. The error I constantly have been getting is mentioned in the instructions

"run-as: Package 'com.motorola.bug2go' is unknown"

and the advice given is to "wipe you data and cache partitions and try again"

On that advice, I have done a factory reset through the settings every time I try to rerun the root app. This doesn't have any apparent effect as I am still unable to root the device.

I'm hoping that I can get into the fastboot/recovery mode to do the factory reset as the one poster has mentioned this is vital and I am not sure how to do this. I have been able to get into some kind of recovery mode but there is nothing I can seemingly do on that screen.

The exploit is known NOT to work on the Softbank M and there is no known method currently for that device, sorry.
[Droid RAZR M General] wintermute000:
when I try to trigger bug report using stock jellybean Telstra (XT905), I get a succession of vibrations (not one or two) then phone will reboot AS SOON AS power button is not being held down. Script waits for reboot, cleans up, reboots the phone again saying finished OK but nothing.

Same phone rooted OK using this method when ICS, something's changed or am I triggering the bug report wrong? Yeah I'm using the updated supersu binaries
[Droid RAZR M General] Sithra:
I had the exact same experience - must have tried 20 times but evidently the bug report isn't triggered ...

I solved my problem using the steps in this thread
[Droid RAZR M General] wintermute000:
er if I'm not reading it wrong, that thread is to regain root if you used OTA rootkeeper?

I'm talking about rooting from scratch (I was paranoid and unrooted fully before OTA, thinking that as Verizon JB users are rooting no worries we should be OK too, but looks like I was dumb lol).

Or we need to figure out how to trigger the bug report in JB Aussie build. Its definitely NOT power+up or power+down anymore. Even if I do it without USB connected, my phone vibrates constantly and as soon as power is released, boom reboots.
[Droid RAZR M General] vo_danh:
Used the method on the first post to the letter except I ran the run.bat with right click "run as administrator". Had to try 2-3 times to press the vol up + power key before I could get it to vibrate. After restart I had "SuperUser" app in my list. I downloaded ES file explorer and can browse my system folders. Titanium backup loads but tells me it can't acquire root. Root Checker Basic by joeykrim was not able to verify root either but may not support my device yet XT907 as noted by other users under the app comments. Root Checker from Free Android Tools also says unable to verify root.

So far I settled for disabling the apps I didn't like auto loading all the time.

I tried the files from the OSP site, replaced them into the motofail2go and re-ran as before as admin. Now SuperUser has disappeared, and SuperSU shows up, and does ask me to allow root access. Tried Root Checker Basic again by joeykrim and it verified that its rooted. Titanium backup now has root access and has the uninstall options. Superuser and SuperSU still doesn't show any apps in list.
