[Droid RAZR M General] jabeth407:
Can't run the batch file 'run.bat' to start it all.

To Whom it may concern;

I'm not unfamiliar with computers, but I can't seem to get the motorola razr m to root. I can't even get it close. With this process the phone doesn't use the batch file as a set of commands to be processed. It wants to know what program I want to use to view the batch file. Another process involved hooking the phone to the computer and then forcing a reload of the boot sector (root) with modified ROM programs. That one couldn't seem to figure out where it's own files were and kept shutting itself down.

Motorola's website says my phone is up to date, several times. I have this patch, a Blur Version ROM, and an Eclipse ROM. Can't get either one of those to update to the phone through the forced updating process. What am I doing wrong? All I want is to be able to record phone conversations. I had to buy a Motorola and then find out about their desire to alter standard ROM code with some special blend that they cook up. I have been through all the recorder programs. None of them works completely. The best one's programmer suggested that I root this phone which I'd been trying to do. Which brings me back to this site & forum. This is my second time. It didn't work the first time or this time, obviously. I haven't gotten anyone else's process to work either. The phone isn't anything special, it's standard, cheap, notsosmartphone.

I think that if I can rewrite the ROM and finish getting complete access to the phone, I will be able to record my conversations without screwing with the phone. One paid for programs (apps) locks me out of the microphone when making calls. It can be reset in the middle of the call by pressing speakerphone on/off. The microphone then comes on, poof! like magic! Of course, it still isn't recording right.

I find it utterly exasperating that these phones don't come with a utility that records calls. The call isn't your property. You don't own the equipment that is used in 'making' the call. Maybe that is why NO phone records it's own calls and these latter mini-computer phones have to be tweaked to get them to work because the manufacturer doesn't want conversations recorded! Sounds paranoid but, think about it. Why the extra effort to capture a call!?

How does anyone find this stuff out?

Mine computer was doing this too. I'm on a Sony Vaio 64bit Win7 platform and I have found that when the phone sleeps it disconnects from the computer. Nothing I did to the computer or the phone got it to communicate again. Unplugged it/replugged it came back up in the computer's file manager until it went to sleep again. The Device Manager wouldn't or couldn't find it, even after it had been hooked up. I get a weird msg. "motorola wants to make changes to my hardrive" everytime I plug it into the computer. It also opens up a web page for that backup assistant stupidproofing.

Tell your phone to not sleep when you have it hooked up to your computer. Make sure it isn't set up for a hotspot or your computer will bring it in as a networked connection instead of a portable drive.
