will this work for motorola droid ultra?

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

will this method work for the motorola droid ultra, we have yet to get root or bootloader unlock.:crying: You think you can find a method?
[RAZR HD Android Development] recDNA:
I don't think anybody even works on motorola any more.
[RAZR HD Android Development] beefytr:
will somebody introduce an exploit so that rooting after 9.20.1 update will be possible?

or we have to live with for some more time teh downgrade method?

:confused:
[RAZR HD Android Development] Six_Three:
I was on 9.18.1 which is the latest update available for my phone. I used the droid RAZR HD utility and used option 1 to downgrade everything to stock 4.1.2 (the motochopper exploitable version.) Once I successfully downgraded I rooted with motochopper. I then used Voodoo OTA root keeper and selected to make a root backup. I made sure I didn't have any apps uninstalled or frozen. I then temporarily unrooted with voodoo. I proceeded with the OTA update and once installed I went back into voodoo and restored root. I'm successfully rooted on the latest software version.

In the droid RAZR HD utility thread it says not to use it with the latest update, I however did and ran into no problems. Make sure you follow instructions carefully and use at your own risk.

[RAZR HD Android Development] beefytr:
Cheers mate for the response.

My maxx hd tells me I am 9.20.1; eventually I am supposed to refrain from using the utility.

However, as you have pointed out it is worth giving it a go - bearing all the risk eventually :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] beefytr:
Well, surprise...

Despite the strenous efforts to root the bloody gadget after OTA (9.20.1), all seem to have failed.

But, never give up...

A factory reset conquered the mother of all problems and gave the beautiful Razr Maxx HD the Root Access.

Good news for the ones who are interested...

Cheers,

Has anyone keep root after the OTA 9.30. I mistakenly forgot to backup root and unroot then take the update. I just backup root and then took the updates and now I am not root anymore. Can some help me with that?
[RAZR HD Android Development] drkdeath5000:
Is there anyway to obtain root after updating to 19.18.94 ? A way of downgrading or going back to stock maybe ?

hi i am using XT925 (SFR) officially updated on Kitkat 4.4.2, can't really root using any tool.. Any suggestions ?? or am i missing something?
[RAZR HD Android Development] JoseBerga:
There's no root exploit for root without unlock the bootloader, but xt925 is unlockable.. Just unlock your bootloader, flash twrp 2.8.6.0 and flash supersu.zip.. Thast's all..
[RAZR HD Android Development] nathanski:
how do you unlock it with no root?

ty for the link

thanks for the link .... its my mothers phone so i gave up on rooting it >>> or unlocking <<< i had wanted to but its the latest ota kitkat and is locked up pretty tight <<< TY tho.

Use magisk, it solves everything on android 4.2 and up, including 5.1.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pantoner:
I do have it in debugging mode, and when I go to the Android Recovery thing... I get the "ge1/1" which in my experience happens after you achieve root on an Original RAZR. I get an "Exploit Successful" in the CMD prompt... i must be missing something... maybe my RAZR HD is really good at being stock.

UPDATE: I got it to work! After generating a report by pressing Vol+ and pwr, I waited about 10 seconds after the second vibration. It worked flawlessly. Thanks for the help.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
You're welcome guys! glad I was of help and everything was figured out.

Root for all !!:cool:
[RAZR HD Android Development] W00fah:
Much respect mate! Worked like a charm! Got super and everything working :D. And got some apps frozen too with Titanium Backup. Thanks for posting!
[RAZR HD Android Development] senergy:
Great thanks! Works on a Telstra Razr HD (Australia)

Ran it the first time and said "Congratulations..." but no SU program would work. So I ran it again and it worked.

Hi,

Can we unroot the phone easily?
[RAZR HD Android Development] geoff5093:
Rooted perfectly for me, first try on the MAXX HD.
[RAZR HD Android Development] MadFoodScientist:
I would like to know this too before I root
[RAZR HD Android Development] jdedeaux:
factory restore will remove root.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
Yes you can! Factory restoring will unroot the phone as it deletes Superuser and busybox. You're good to go.
[RAZR HD Android Development] loquilo:
Thanks !

It's OK for Razr HD (SFR).
[RAZR HD Android Development] kaktuss77:
Hi,

I proceeded a fatory / reset the root is still there. and system files that I edited. (remove shutter sound)

I did the factory / reset from the recovery.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
Try doing it in the phone settings, i think under privacy. Make sure you select to wipe internal too!
[RAZR HD Android Development] shova32:
This isn't working... I've factory reset set a number of times and it's still rooted (superuser is still in the app drawer). I haven't seen where it asked wipe internal.

Also I hit the power button and volume up, it goes to the boot mode selection but it doesn't allow me to select anything. HELP
[RAZR HD Android Development] shabbypenguin:
this will never work for removing root. the files are installed to system, a factory reset wipes data and is not allowed to touch system. ergo all you are doing is wiping out your apps and data.

you can manually unroot by using a root file manager program and mounting system as r/w (i prefer root explorer) and removing the following files

/system/app/Superuser.apk

/system/bin/su

and if it has it

/system/xbin/su

anyone wishing to thank the creator of this easy rooting script can do so here where he has his donate link up if you feel ever so appreciative.
[RAZR HD Android Development] GoClifGo05:
Just pre ordered the dev version. This work on that too?

Edit: yes it will but I forgot about being able to just flash SU in recovery since its unlocked. Woops.

[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
Ah yes you're correct, I forgot that any of the times i've removed root on my DX2, it was next to a sbf'ing; which is what really removed it.

Wiping internal only does the apps from data, the superuser is installed in the system.
[RAZR HD Android Development] shabbypenguin:
doing a factory reset wipes apps and data, wiping internal means you wipe your internal sdcard which for most devices is the default location for camera pictures and videos.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
ah okay haha i'll just shut up. I did include your instructions and credited in the OP! :cowboy:
[RAZR HD Android Development] shabbypenguin:
just making sure everything is defined man, there is always a bigger idiot than you can prepare for :P

on my nexus toolkit i had 4 files in the download, a folder named Files, the drivers, runme-linux.sh and runme-windows.bat. i got 6 PM's asking me how to use it :/

making sure no one deletes photos of their precious "wubby-boo-boo" or whatever and get mad at you is always a bonus :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
Haha yeah. I always save everything of importance to my SDcard. It's an automatic for me to set the camera to External SD. Always wiping and flashing so i just never see using the internal as a safe place to store files. Anything ever goes wrong with my phone, I never want to be at a loss, so all titanium backups and pictures are just a matter of popping out my sdcard and into another phone.

Same deal with a computer, idk why any intelligent person would save valuables on the computer and not to an External HDD :silly:
[RAZR HD Android Development] BinarySauce:
Genuine question, why would someone want to unroot their phone?
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
mm I guess in case they needed to return their phone. To avoid the hassles of voiding warranties.
[RAZR HD Android Development] W00fah:
Does anyone have an issue with the Play Store crashing a lot a bit after rooting?
[RAZR HD Android Development] gwhaley:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't our devices have a root checker they can see in recovery?
[RAZR HD Android Development] robstunner:
I've noticed this as well as wifi problems, I just assumed it to be unrelated.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Deus_eps_machina:
I've not had a single problem with any apps since rooting. Hell, I've had not a single problem even after uninstalling a bunch of crap directly using Titanium Backup Pro. Just waiting on custom recovery
[RAZR HD Android Development] robstunner:
I have temp fixed my problems. Under advanced wifi settings changing mine to 5ghz only seems to fix my problem. Using auto or 2.4 only locks it up. My router is a simultaneous dual band router.
[RAZR HD Android Development] W00fah:
I currently have my phone stock again for the whole afternoon and the Play Store hasn't crashed one. Maybe there was some sort of flub in the rooting process. Guess i could just reroot and hope it works ok.
[RAZR HD Android Development] robstunner:
I honestly think it was unrelated. My play store is working fine now. I think it had to do with my wifi problems
[RAZR HD Android Development] BinarySauce:
Do I have to unlock the bootloader to root the phone? Or vice-versa? Or is one the result of another? I'm lost on this aspect.
[RAZR HD Android Development] SirHoover2010:
You will be rooted (have root access to your device) your bootloader wont be unlocked any time soon
[RAZR HD Android Development] recDNA:
Has someone actually tried unrooting? I read a post somewhere claiming factory reset doesn't work (or at least didn't for the poster).
[RAZR HD Android Development] SirHoover2010:
I used rsd lite to flash my phone (atrix hd) and it unrooted it :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
Is this working with Droid Razr Maxx HD of Verizon Wireless.

It is unbelievable, but that is the only good phone, which verison provides with global ready function.

Thats the big disadvantage of using WCDMA networks...

Want to upgrade my comapny phone.

OFFTOPIC:

Does anybody know the roadmap of verizons upcoming gloabel phones?
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
check back at the updated op for unroot instructions.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
Check the op again for the unroot instructions.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
The two things are on a whole nother level. You do not have to unlock the boot loader. That's to have unrestricted access to flashing Roms and Kernels. Rooting allows you to use root-only apps in the play store and have system access for things such as freezing bloatware and removing files.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
Yes this will work to root the Verizon Droid Razr HD. It's the same across all variations. The only thing that is different between the different ones is the bootloader is encrypted unless you the the Deb edition. So flashing Roms on the Verizon version will have to be figured out by the Devs who get the phone.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Snake-Plissken:
thanks,

i guess the biggest problem is not verizon, it is motorola, had the RAZR, (the first one which came out) and there was no possibity either, maybe now, sold this piece of crap. But my RARZ was the international version from germany with SIM. Motorola is just not modder friendly :( but stupid verizon has only RAZR´s as global phones besides the iphone, and who wants an iphone ;)
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
nah its Verizon mainly. they make Moto keep their bootloaders locked. You have to buy "developer editions".
[RAZR HD Android Development] recDNA:
OK, so if I understand correctly, with no custom recovery we cannot create nandroids so if I somehow screw up and end up in a boot loop or something (while rooted) I am totally screwed with no way out of it?
[RAZR HD Android Development] koftheworld:
P3droid has competed a custom recovery that should be released soon. You can recover from a boot loop if there is a sbf file available.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
well actually you're not really risking all that much with just root. Just like with my Dx2 that I still have when I can't get to my recovery. you have fast boot files in which you can use a program called RSD lite and bring your phone back to stock.
[RAZR HD Android Development] recDNA:
Links and details would be great if you have the time.
[RAZR HD Android Development] jimmydafish:
Don't you think the disclaimer should be larger and a link to his original post included in your post. Plus you dropped out his Paypal donation link. How about you fix all that up OP?
[RAZR HD Android Development] SirHoover2010:
If the root is the same for a whole bunch of Moto phones, is the recovery the same also. Like will the razr hd, razr m, and atrix hd all use the same recovert
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
I thought it was sufficient, I even addressed him by his actual name so I would for sure be showing crediting for his work. I also not only stated that it was not created by me, but that I had no part whatsoever. Then even furthermore to make sure people knew I was not posting someone else's work as my own I told them specifically what they should be only thanking me for. But I guess the four instances wasn't enough for you. Also Developer shabbypenguin included the link to his paypal within a couple of pages of the thread creation before the thread gets really big. I wasn't able to do it at the time of opening; I never "dropped" it out of it, but I can go ahead and edit in a hyperlink. How about that for you sir?

Oh and not to mention - five, a screenshot showing the the beginning that claims the owner's work, which I purposely did instead of just showing the end of the script that it worked.
[RAZR HD Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
P3Droid and me are still working out the kinks, but it is close
[RAZR HD Android Development] BinarySauce:
I'm on Verizon, so no custom ROMs at all until it's unlocked? It's inevitable that it will be unlocked soon like the Verizon GS3 right?

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

No that's not true at all. All we need is safestrap from hashcode :) I'm not sure if it can get unlocked like the gs3, but I would guess not. Most Moto phones have never been successfully unlocked, but maybe with the dev version out it'll be different.
[RAZR HD Android Development] jimmydafish:
You insinuate that you had somehow been responsible for this or had a hand in it. Let me fix your post so you can see how this should look. you dropped his paypal and never linked to his original post. This is very bad form. The person who rooted your device spent a great deal of time in doing so and deserves the recognition from doing so. not some tiny ass print at the bottom like an after thought. I mean really the creator of the root gets the tiniest font at the bottom. Terrible.

Dan (@djrbliss) has posted the root method.

http://xdaforums.com/show...05&postcount=1

Despite my strong belief that people who are interested in rooting should buy devices with unlocked bootloaders instead of expecting the magical hackers in the sky to give out free exploits (which are in short supply), I'm once again continuing to encourage bad behavior by publishing another root exploit:

http://vulnfactory.org/public/motofail2go_windows.zip

Instructions:

1. Download and extract the entire zip file.

2. Ensure your device is connected via USB and that you have installed the latest ADB drivers from Motorola.

3. Double-click "run.bat" and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. The exploit will ask you to press a button combination at one point.

If the exploit prints an error saying something like "run-as: Package 'com.motorola.bug2go' is unknown", then unfortunately you will have to wipe your data and cache partitions and try again.

This exploit should work on the Razr M, Atrix HD, Photon Q, Razr i (you might need to replace some of the binaries with x86 versions?), and the upcoming Razr HD.

[RAZR HD Android Development] blacknet101:
this is the first time i have ever seen someone complain like a little girl over a posting. Honestly he credited the person who made it and that's enough, no where does it say you need to provide link to every single thing he credits. You have a problem with this then get the hell off this thread and go cry somewhere else.

anyways back to the topic!

once the recovery has been released, wouldn't we have to wait for Safestrap to be released as well?
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
Wow you have some serious comprehension issues. I never once insinuated that I was any way responsible for creating the exploit. I in fact made it very clear that I was not and specifically said what I should only appreciated for. "Let me fix your post", who do you think you are seriously? Got a pretty high image of yourself huh? Do I care? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but honestly nobody asked for yours on what you think is bad form. The developer was more then credited so that's what matters and you can step off. Look at you go with your little HS girl attitude. Once again nobody asked "fyi", okay? Really don't know where you come from with your pedestal mentality. Thanks anyway, have a good day with yourself.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
Thank you, I know the maturity of these guys on the internet..if he's got issues, then he can just leave, nobody forcing him to endure the atrocity..
[RAZR HD Android Development] BinarySauce:
Oh awesome, one thing though: what is safestrap and what is hashcode? All this stuff is cool but I'm have a hard time getting into the community with all of these terms(name-wise, not basic stuff like ROM, kernel, flash, OTA, API, etc.). :confused:
[RAZR HD Android Development] SirHoover2010:
Safestrap is a recovery that can be used with a locked bootloader, they are created by HashCode :)

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

Jus don't confuse anyone that is unsure though, HashCode is a man, not a program. He developed safestrap. He is working on safestrap for the newer moto phones not :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] koftheworld:
Exactly.Hash is THE man when it comes to moto and Safestrap. He dhacker and P3droid are Moto Gods. Thanks guys for your awesome contributions.
[RAZR HD Android Development] lucidvtec:
Not to deter to many peeps

But having safe strap and a recovery is nice

But until the boot loader gets un locked properly we won't have the truely cool roms and features....just like with the reg RAZR... no real undervolting

They have been working on xexec for how long?? As a work around....kinda got it going but lots of bugs...and deff does not run as smoothly

Remember if the bootloaders were unlocked more devs would be working on this

That. Should be the number one priority ...its deff the hardest... but if that was done everything else will be a lot easier and better control
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
Yes sir, I agree. I'm just hoping they'll be able to figure something out for us for roms, since this is an upgraded version of the Razr with its mega battery for a smart phone. Hopefully the fact that there is a developer edition will help them crack into things.
[RAZR HD Android Development] koftheworld:
Kexec has been worked on quite extensively by hash and completely bypasses the locked bootloader. There are bugs, but that had mostly been due to time lost due to the server doing down a few times, work on his kindle fire, recoding of Safestrap, not to mention his supporting 5 devices at once.

I am very skeptical about the bootloader being unlocked.Moto has mostly been successful in keeping their devices locked tight. Kexec is our only realistic option of flashing custom kernels.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Schoat333:
You must be new to Motorola parts of the forum. Be careful who you are call out, as jimmydafish, AKA P3droid, isn't just some nobody that came in to complain. He has contributed a lot for VZW phones, and especially Motorolas.

I see both points, but agree with jimmydafish since his post already existed. It could have just been copied and pasted including all credits to the original developer.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
Possible root patch

Hey guys just a heads up. There's a new a patch out for Droid HD, a "security patch". If you don't want to risk losing your root, wait out updating until its figured out. Hope I helped you guys out :good:
