The factory reset ends up instantly resetting phone right? How come all my apps are still there? Its not changing the exploit fail

Btw are you booting into recovery to factory? When I booted into recovery I got a weird error picture and had to boot menu again to get out of it
[Droid RAZR M General] antp121:
What I did was, after the update, while still on recovery, wiping data/cache. Worked like a charm after that.

I've frozen all the bloatware in titanium, but I still see backup assistant running when I go to running apps, any ideas??
[Droid RAZR M General] antp121:
Those of you not rooted and on the latest ota, I highly suggest you update to the official OTA and root within the next 24 hours. P3droid will be releasing his toolbox for the RAZR m which will allow a bunch of customization. It will allow you to apply a custom boot animation, splash screen, battery icon, debloat, rebloat and more! Definitely awesome.
[Droid RAZR M General] hokieputter:
Did you freeze just backup assistant apps? Also freeze anything with "backup" in the name and you should not see it running any longer. Those other processes could still be running in the background. This approach has worked just fine for me.

Some Questions

Hi, had a few noob questions I was hoping someone could help me with....

I've never rooted a phone before and with the Verizon OTA available today, I'm not entirely sure what I should do... Does this sound right?

1. Install OTA RootKeeper

2. Root the phone following djrbliss' instructions

3. Turn on Survival Mode on superuser

4. Temp un-root using Root-Keeper

5. Run the OTA Update

6. Re-root using RootKeeper

Just don't wanna get stuck when upgrading to JB...

Hi guys I have an issue with this rooting OK so before I was able to root device installed super user and had root privileges used the failmoto go2 software but after I got job upgrade root no longer worked super user was still installed I have attempted to remove su by unrooting it which did uninstall su but when I tried the motofailgo2 it did not root it kept saying exploit failed last resort was to clear cache partitions and factory reset I reattempted to root this time it said completed exploit successfully installed su was added back on but when checked with root checker still said no root privileges.. so does this mean that this will not work with job update?

need to unroot

The root process worked perfectly. Now I am trying to install the Verizon JB update, but it keeps failing. I suspect because the phone is rooted. How can I unroot my phone that was rooted using this method?

thank you
[Droid RAZR M General] droidman89:
Yea it shouldn't really interfere with your installation with update since this rooting method just unlocks your footing permissions and does not tamper with the rom but there us a ROM out there that many use including myself but be warned may or may not work some people said worked some said it did as you can see by my post it did not work , but anyways the app is called voodoo Ota .A.K.A root keeper it allows you to temporary unroot your device and backs up your root settings to SD card so when you update you can temp un root but of course updating may wipe out root and this is were the root back up comes to play you can restore your back up root settings and gain back your root access with that same app! Like I said for some reason it didn't work for me but you can give it a shot. Good luck
[Droid RAZR M General] dconn6640:
I'm not running a rom, I just got this RAZR m the other day and it has stock ICS. The first thing I did was apply djrbliss root so I could use TB. Then the VZW update popped up, but the install fails. So, is there a way to undo this root?
[Droid RAZR M General] ctl904:
Just throwing out another confirmation, root worked like a charm. Updated to Jelly Bean night before last night. Read over this entire thread about three times last night just to make sure i had everything understood and ready to go, and attempted the root this morning. From device wipe to finish, reboot and check root with Root Checker, done within 10 minutes.

Halp plox

So I just updated to OTA Jellybean a few days ago. Tried the exploit. run.bat gave the OK but root checker says I had no root access and Superuser didn't install. Just did a factory reset and tried it again. Same result except Superuser is now showing up. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[Droid RAZR M General] jpnestel:
For those having trouble with root. I just wanted to share my method. For the part that says push vol up and down simultaneously for the bug report. I pushed vol up and power together instead and it worked the first time. No wipes necessary. Hope this helps someone.
[Droid RAZR M General] Jade_Falcon:
Alllllllright, I have a US Cellular Electrify M, which according to all I've read it's basically the Razr M - just a slightly different appearance.

Unfortunately, before I even had a chance to read up on it and such, the OTA connected to my home network and updated the phone. So I'm assuming this is why I'm having so many troubles.

I now have gone ahead and unlocked the bootloader, however the rooting fails. I too see the "Exploit Failed" error.

I've read through every post on this thread and nothing is working.

However, the one post I read about pressing the up volume + power key until you get a SECOND vibrate for the bug report - I'm unable to do this. If I press the buttons once, there's a slight vibrate, though if I hold them the phone resets itself.

Any ideas??

Also - someone else asked the question, if you have an unlocked bootloader, are there other ways to root the phone?

TIA!

[Droid RAZR M General] Jaronian:
2nd Vibrate for Bugreport

I have now rooted and rerooted droid M with JB OTA update. The misstep people seem to be making is that they are not able to get the second vibrate to open bugreport. There is a trick to it.......

You must turn your volume all the way down before trying to hit the button combination. It is on the first or second volume up & power combination from here that you can achieve the double vibrate needed.

Let me know if this works for anyone still having issues.
[Droid RAZR M General] Jade_Falcon:
ahh... that makes sense... I wondered why the instructions mentioned the volume down vibration...

Setting my phone's volume all the way down to silent/no vibrate, I was able to get the double vibrate when pressing volume up + power. However, still no luck. (again if I hold the buttons longer the phone hangs and restarts itself) And if I try after the initial double vibrate, I still get "Exploit Failed"

So... I've tried everything I could find mentioned in this thread. I'm thinking I just can't root this thing. Though according to TeamUSCellular website, other Elecrify M users have been able to use this.

Basically what happened was we had an OTA update for US Cellular customers that caused people to lose root. Though after unlocking the bootloader, supposedely you could get it back. (I applied that update accidentally the moment I started playing with my new phone, and may be why I can't root. Though I did unlock the bootloader...)

I think I'm giving up for now, unless I can find a safe way to root with the unlocked bootloader.

If it helps...

Motorola Electrify M (basically the Razr M)

Network Lock

Hi.

I want to buy Motorola Droid Razr M phone. I would like to unlock this phone to be used in different network (other then Verison),

I don't need 4g , 3g will be good enough for me.

I never used standard ROMs on my devices, i always downloaded custom rom , so it was always unlocked to all networks.

Is it possible to unlock Motorola Droid Razr M with stock ROM and use it in another 3g network?

Thanks.
[Droid RAZR M General] whodisname:
So this looks pretty straightforward. I have rooted several types of phones but never a motorola. Im going to order it straight from verizon as soon as i get off work tonight and should have it tomorrow one question. I assume that the only way to get a dev edition is to pay the full retail price? I cant afford that all at once right now and this phone i have now needs replacing BAD!! I hate most stock apps as and always use custom ROMS and i never had a locked bootloader phone. Kinda annoys me that something that i pay for has to look like the salesmans idea of nice.
[Droid RAZR M General] whodisname:
Wow. This is one hell of an upgrade!! Im not gunna try rooting this for a week, shoot maybe two!! But I hate the useless apps so I will eventually!! Really good stuff right here!
[Droid RAZR M General] whodisname:
Really nice. I might not even root it for a while.
[Droid RAZR M General] christpuncher:
What
[Droid RAZR M General] Dr. Hax:
ALL Verizon 4G phones are required by law to not have a SIM lock. Your phone is unlocked.
[Droid RAZR M General] dyskinesia:
Just to be sure. This works for standard Verizon Razr M? Not just the development one?

I am looking to pick up one off contract (in order to keep unlimited data) but before I buy it I need to know if this works to root it.

#1 reason is for functional wifi tether.

#2. titanium backup

any issues with this plan?
[Droid RAZR M General] whodisname:
I'm talking about the boot loader. I like custom roms. I don't mind keeping Verizon!
[Droid RAZR M General] scottjb:
I upgraded two of my lines from 3G to 4G devices without losing unlimited data. Did Verizon tell you they would not do an upgrade without removing unlimited?
[Droid RAZR M General] dyskinesia:
Yes. I called tuesday and was told no problem keep your plan as long as you want. We cant take it away from you. My wife wasnt sure what she wanted so we couldnt do it then. So the agent said i'll put a note in your file to ensure we dont have any issues. So yesterday she goes to the local store and they told her it was impossible to upgrade w/o losing unlimited data. So i called *611. They told me the same thing. So i hung up and called back and was told the same thing by CSR and manager. So i got online and chatted with a CSR through website who said as of sep 2012 only way to keep unlimited is to pay full price for phone or get it from another source (ebay).
[Droid RAZR M General] scottjb:
Thanks for the information. I did mine prior to Setup., 2012. I guess that's the way to eventually force everyone on to metered plans.
[Droid RAZR M General] dyskinesia:
i think i read somewhere that they were "forced" to go that way when they realized the new iphones would severely tax their network.

not sure why that phone specifically, just sounds like an excuse.

anyway off to ebay to find a good used M

Error

I keep getting an Error:"more then one device and emulator" waiting for device, and it just loops that message. I've done it 3 times now. I replaced the SU and Superuser files and factory reset each time. I am getting the vibrations 5 seconds apart, but then I get the error. In fact I get it before it asks to do the bug report also.

Any ideas?
[Droid RAZR M General] ph1nn:
So guys, back on topic, I'm thinking about getting the RAZR M later this month when my upgrade is up. It seems like the best option with the Nexus 4 not being able to do LTE/CDMA and I think the GS3 is too damn big.

Anyway, so if I get the RAZR M and it has the Jelly Bean OTA update on it, does this root method work? The topic got very side tracked and the OP doesn't seem at all updated, so I ask the question here.

I'm no so concerned for the bootloader yet, i realize this phone will never have much ROM support, but root is a must for me.

Thanks
[Droid RAZR M General] claylong:
I just picked up the M yesterday and was able to root. In an attempt to solve a WiFi issue with my corporate network, I ran the OTA update today, taking me to 98.12.4.XT907. This seems to have lost my root. Despite the fact that motofail2go reports success on my subsequent root attempts (after factory resets), su doesn't seem to be available.

This may not be an answer to your question, but my experience so far is that root doesn't work with this OTA update.

Anyone have any more updated info? I haven't come across anything yet in this thread, or in the sister thread for the Atrix HD.
[Droid RAZR M General] ph1nn:
Yea i went back carefully after I posed that, It looks like you can root the OTA JB update just fine. Most people say to do a factory reset and follow this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34058649&postcount=170

Looks like root does work with OTA JB, so maybe I'll get this phone. The bootloader on the other hand won't be unlocked but oh well, it looks like safestrap3 gets around that. I doubt there will ever be much modding with this phone anyway, but it's the only VZW phone I like. Hopefully Moto will update it once or twice (to JB 4.2 maybe?), I highly doubt to Key Lime Pie but who knows. Most Android phones never get an update after 6 months anyway, and CyanogenMod should just rename themselves to SamsungMod now.
[Droid RAZR M General] JOLiu:
To answer your question - yes, the root exploit will work w/ the Jelly Bean OTA update. How I got my root was as follows:

(1) perform the OTA update first (preferably immediately after you get your phone)

(2) factory wipe the phone

(3) root using the following instructions found here.

For me personally, the root process did not work until I replaced the su and superuser.apk. However, when I followed these steps, the root has worked great.
[Droid RAZR M General] claylong:
Worked great. Thank you both for info, I feel like I can breathe again!

Rooted question

Can anyone confirm that with a rooted RAZR M, you can redirect the Google Play Music cache to and SD card (using something like Directory Bind)?

This is the primary reason I wish to root, so I don't want to do the reset and attempt to root, if it won't ultimately allow me to cache my Google Music on my SD card, rather than the < 2 GB of free space remaining on my internal storage.

I went ahead and rooted, but have been unsuccessful in getting my google music cache to store on the external SD card.

[Droid RAZR M General] whodisname:
It works. I assure you. Get the su and superuser apk. Put them into your motofail2go file before extracting. Do a factory reset then setup your phone. Debuggeing and volume all the way down before touching the power+vol up buttons simultaniously for a puny nanosecond.
[Droid RAZR M General] skippid:
Same thing happened to me the other day when I received my replacement M. Triple check you swapped both .apks. I used the old one on accident, and received a semi root. I had SU, but root was not established even though my phone said it was. I swapped files again after making copies of the originals, and restarted. I had root, and two SU apps in the tray. Just disable the older one.
[Droid RAZR M General] Dyelon:
As someone who constantly had problems rooting, i hope people understand how vital the FACTORY RESET through the fastboot/recovery is.... it literally will not work without doing so

Also, when doing the bug report, hold the buttons till you get a second vibration. About 5 seconds.
[Droid RAZR M General] :
Hey guys, I just got Razr M and while the lack of official CM is disappointing, I've been trying to get root at least. However I can never get it to work. Here's my procedure.

1. Reboot into recovery

2. Wipe data/cache

3. Reboot, set up phone

4. Make sure USB debugging, drivers, etc.

5. Connect to PC

6. Run .bat file as Admin, follow steps.

7. Press Vol Up + Power when prompted. Here's where I get confused. I get the 1st vibrate, but I don't get the 2nd vibrate (~5s) even after holding both down for at least 10s. I also get the "run-as: Package ‘com.motorola.bug2go’ is unknown" error, EVEN though I just wiped data/cache.

8. Displays "exploit complete" in CMD, reboot.

However I still get unrooted in Root Checker, etc. Anyone know what is going on? I'm thinking I didn't trigger the proper bug report, but how do I do that?

Hope this helps someone out who has been struggling!!
[Droid RAZR M General] believejason:
The phone does not run the batch file. The computer runs the batch file while the phone is plugged into the computer. You didnt mention what OS you have on the computer, but the computer must be running windows. This process does not involve (you) putting any files on the phone all. You unzip the files to your computer, plug the phone into your computer, and run the batch file on your computer.

This process also does not involve a modified ROM. In order to do that sort of thing, you would need to unlock the bootloader. The Razr M bootloader has not yet been unlocked by anyone at all (to my knowledge).

This process will only give you root privileges on the existing stock operating system. It will not allow you to install eclipse or any other custom rom. I am not really sure what to tell you about software for recording your calls.

Correct me if I'm wrong..
