Different Method

OK - I've just done this with a different method:

1. after cleaning htc desire c inside and outside properly and precautiously, I unlocked bootloader by registering to https htcdev com bootloader (..with dots and slash, of course) and following the steps (little complicated though)

2. rooted with supersu (simply google, please)

3. afterwards I playstored RASHR's recovery flasher after downloading 'golfu's' recovery image with 'OFFICIAL TWRP app' - also from playstore and flashed golfu's latest image with RASHR - poweroff

4. placing in any micro-SD-card and after holding Volume_down + shortly Power-Button and keep holding Volume_down I got into stock 'Download-MOde' and then I chose 'Recovery' with the Volume_down (or Volume_up)-Buttons and continued pressing Volume_up--button instantly and holding that button pressed Power-Button shortly and thus, I got into TWRP-Recovery, (simply google all that in case, please)

5. So, inside I made a backup to an external mirco-SD-Card I had put in before to the back right side (leaving battery inside) - and tapped backwards inside TWRP and chose 'Advanced' and then ADB-Terminal - that is Terminal

6. I chose the appropriate folder /dev/block as starting folder - and without need to use SU I wrote

# strings -n 8 mmcblk0p7 ===> m m c b l k 0 p 7 (it's all a little small, maybe here you need google, too) and the # right 8-digit number was something like 5-6 or so lines after your IMEI-number which I copied by taking mobile phone pictures and after reboot/powerdown I

7. enjoyed a sim-lock free htc desire c after inserting the 8 number quickly

nb: maybe this is a solution for those with custom rom like cyanogen mod ..

Bout the same process I used

Works!!!!

Just make sure to root and protect before going to jelly bean

NO WAY to root jelly bean right now!!! I tried
[RAZR HD Android Development] BinarySauce:
I originally liked the idea of rooting, then I found out that I don't need root to reliably freeze apps, and messing with verizon stuff makes it hard to flash updates in the future, so I'm on the fence... so I guess are there any downsides to rooting? If not then i'd do it for the heck of it.
[RAZR HD Android Development] lucidvtec:
U have to have been rooted to properly freeze or remove some of the bloat. .as its in the systems

I use titanium backup for that
[RAZR HD Android Development] ikesik:
Update to .41 went flawlessly after downgrading from .39, removing safestrap and starting anew. That said, I found it odd that when I updated to .41, my phone s running painfully slow. Upon examination, I found that the CPU frequency was being restricted to 384mhz for both min and max. Using setcpu I changed this of course, but I am curious to know of anyone else experienced this? I still feel like the .41 update runs more slowly than the vitreous rom with safestrap.
[RAZR HD Android Development] coolestmage:
I'm am having a hard time believing this is going to be the official release. HDMI output is still wonky. There is no way to change the resolution and even the overscan option that was present in ICS is missing. Why would Motorola remove such a useful feature?
[RAZR HD Android Development] shaddix2:
I thought the version match the one that Verizon said was official on their website
[RAZR HD Android Development] lucidvtec:
That's what I read

Super smooth for me
[RAZR HD Android Development] GoClifGo05:
Lol you guys cant just wait less than a week to take the official OTA??? :p

Also just wanted to point out that if anyone else here has the developer edition you don't need to go through this. You can just simply root the JB OTA.
[RAZR HD Android Development] shaddix2:
Hell no man 2 days is essentially an eternity when it comes to jelly bean!!
[RAZR HD Android Development] BinarySauce:
In Jellybean you can disable apps so they never run, don't need root for that. And I ain't removing any bloat(just disabling), because I've heard the bloat needs to be intact to get future updates.

So again, any downsides to rooting? If I root and don't remove bloat will my phone still be upgradable and not too 'tweaked'?
[RAZR HD Android Development] shaddix2:
Its trivially simplistic to remove root, in fact once you are more comfortable with it, you will not want to take updates ota anymore. There is more risk in getting bricked that way(ota) because you don't have custom recoveries and backups etc.
[RAZR HD Android Development] GoClifGo05:
If you just freeze bloat you can unfreeze it before the update. And yes if you only root you can still get updates.

I'm trying to go through the last few steps to get Jelly Bean but not root. When I boot into recovery and select update from sd card, recovery gives me an error that it failed to mount sd card. Any idea why?

[RAZR HD Android Development] EdwardN:
Do you have a SD card installed in the phone? Is it formatted fat32 or something else? Formatting the card within the phone is the best way to ensure compatibility.
[RAZR HD Android Development] gtownie:
Man I feel pretty dumb. Didn't have an sd card in the phone.

Updated with this leak! Everything went well... got impatient, but it seems like it will be the same version as the official update coming this week.

So far so good, everything seems to be working well, but volumes (ringtones, notifications, etc) seem to be a bit lower than they were in ICS... anyone else notice that?
[RAZR HD Android Development] sammyboy405:
Everything Worked just as described.

Curious though if this will be the same as the OTA.
[RAZR HD Android Development] GoClifGo05:
Lots of people are saying they have heard/read that this is the official OTA.
[RAZR HD Android Development] shaddix2:
They were too loud in ICS on the lowest settings. Minimum volume for ringer settings is now quiet how it should be!
[RAZR HD Android Development] cardman827:
Hey Guys, wonder if I could get a little help. I followed the instructions got all the way to the end but I can't seem to restore root. I was already running jelly bean had never rooted before so I followed all the instructions went back to ics and now back at jellybean again and no root.

Any help would be appreciated thanks..
[RAZR HD Android Development] GoClifGo05:
You made a SU backup then temp uprooted and then took the OTA and restored SU backup? Did you update SU binaries after restore?

You sbf to ics, take the small update, root. Update su and update binaries. Unroot with voodoo, install the leak, restore root. Worked for me at least.
[RAZR HD Android Development] cardman827:
I did follow the instructions exactly as stated and all the steps worked correctly but It won't restore root. I will try it again now and let you know if it works. Thanks for the replies...
[RAZR HD Android Development] ianargent:
Ok, I followed the instructions as given, and my update fails due to a build.prop mismatch. I'm not entirely sure why this might be, I haven't been manually editing it, and the only tool I might have used to make a change I thought I undid.
[RAZR HD Android Development] manuski:
I have the same error. I wonder if it's due to a bad download or maybewe have to sbf from a fresh start.
[RAZR HD Android Development] ianargent:
The OTA and the download both error out in the same fashion for me, so I'm going to start from the beginning and go though all the steps.
[RAZR HD Android Development] cardman827:
It worked! Have no idea why it didn't work the first time. Thanks ...
[RAZR HD Android Development] 007shark:
My OTA to jellybean kept failing so following these instructions worked great. I was able to keep root and reinstall safestrap.

Edit: I had to download the jellybean zip file twice. The first download kept failing signature verification.

[RAZR HD Android Development] pfak:
The su binary included in the DROID RAZR HD utility posted in the original thread doesn't work properly with Superuser on Jellybean. It works if you pull up an adb shell. Here's what I did to fix the issue (after you've tried to restore root using OTA root keeper):

1. Grabbed http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip and extracted bin/su from it.

2. Pushed the new su binary to the device, in /data/local/tmp

adb push su /data/local/tmp

3. Pulled up a shell, and su to root, and remount /system as rw

adb shell

su -

mount -o remount,rw /system

4. Copy the new su in place and fix permissions

cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin/su

chown root:root /system/bin/su

chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

5. Remount file system as read only

mount -o remount,ro /system

You should be good to go at that point!

[RAZR HD Android Development] RoomTenONine:
Worked perfectly. I was on the previous JB leak and these steps were excellent. My only note is when I first ran the RAZR HD Util I did so as an admin (work PC) and the initial fastbook back to ICS didn't work. By not right-clicking and selecting "run as admin" it all worked perfectly.

Any suggestions?? I had chrome (from verizon) installed but hated the verizon bookmarks/favorites that kept popping up. So i deleted the stock chrome browser from Verizon and redownloaded the basic chrome browser from the "Play Store". Could that be the problem? Do i need to SBF all the way back to have a completely stock system?

Any suggestions welcomed.
[RAZR HD Android Development] mikepfly2:
Could someone post an MD5 to the OP files to validate downloads?

So far loving this phone on ICS, can't wait to see what JB has to offer!
[RAZR HD Android Development] manuski:
My error seems to be ro.builds.fingerprint. I don't know what that's about but I'm already on the first leak of .72. I'm already setup so all i tried was to backup root with ota, put delta on external and recovery from Motorola with power and volumes. I already have root and slots.

Testing this on mine now, I will report back.

Or I can just make a fool of myself in public. Step 2 and 3 are the instructions, and I was able to follow them to get root back. Thanks

Nahh, you didn't make a fool of yourself because I did the same thing! Thank you pfak for your very helpful instructions. It saved me from suddenly having a cardiac arrest from not being able to restore root.

So I got to step 4 and did the fastboot

"4. Plug in Phone to USB and use the DROID RAZR HD Utility 1.00 to Fastboot Restore 0.6.25 (ICS 4.0.4 Official Software)"

It says press any key when phone comes back on....but it doesnt come back on.

In device manager i see no phone only "qhsusb_dload" with a missing driver.

Unplugging phone and plugging back in the pc recognizes it but nothing ever on screen.

I cant get into download mode or any mode for that matter with any key combinations.

any ideas?

Sounds like you don't have the latest moto usb drivers on your machine.

Is this the most pp to Date Droid Razr Maxx HD Root?

Has anything changed since the original post 3 days ago? I tried rooting yesterday with no luck. I am about to try again. I get to step 6 and then after the bug report part, it says hit any key to continue in the utility, and then the phone restarts when I press any button, and the utility says no device detected.

Thanks all!

true... but then again, if you follow Step 7 of the OP, then you do NOT need to do all that manual updating of the SU. just let Google Play update the app.. then use the app to update the binary..

follow the instructions. i wrote them for myself.. as I did each step.. for myself. (and for you :) )
[RAZR HD Android Development] ianargent:
I did update the binaries at step 7, had root when I rebooted into jelly bean, I thought, but in the morning there was no root and a newer version than the one I had installed the night before.

Not ruling out human error, mind you, it was late...

Ok, the official VZW Jellybean OTA is coming anyday. If my phone is at the level of steps 1-13, What's the consensus of the list to letting the OTA install vs side-loading it(step 14-20) and keeping root?

The amount of people that didn't do this, is astounding .. :) Better than starting from step #1.

I'm having exactly the same problem. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!

After I rooted, Super User was listed as Up to Date in the PLAY Store. I went into the app itself and ran the update, which said I had the current version anyways (3.1.1) and I'm getting the sideload error mentioned above.

HELP!!!! PLEASE! I'm afraid that once the OTA is available for me I won't be able to install that either.

Hi guys,

I just ordered my Droid RAZR HD yesterday. In preparation I rooted my Thunderbolt for the first time and loaded titanium backup.

My question is, my phone may come with Jelly Bean preloaded, if that is the case will this method work to allow me to root it or am i outta luck?

Chrome system browser

Did you find a solution, it looks like we need to get a copy of the the chromesystembrowser.apk from someone. Did you fin it? I am having the same problem.
[RAZR HD Android Development] chrisgriner:
I wanted to report I was having issues processing this update and the OTA update. My issues were tied directly to the fact that I renamed various system APK's to .apk.bak

If anyone had gained ROOT and renamed system APKs or removed them, this update will not work. You will have to rename the original APKs to their original .apk format or restore the ones you have deleted.

After renaming any .bak files back to .apk, the update processed and I was upgraded to the .41 update.

I did not try it, but I would imagine the failing OTA update would have worked after I renamed the system APKs. However, I did not try this since the update process in this thread provided more error support.

Thanks for putting this together.

assert failed: apply_patch_check("system/app/vznavigator.apk", "{long hex number, probably a hash}". "{Another long hex number, probably a hash}")
[RAZR HD Android Development] ianargent:
That particular file's hash does not match the hash that the patching process expects. This is a delta patch, so it's only changing the parts of the files that it needs to. Do you have VZNavigator frozen, by chance, or did you freeze it at one point? Try updating it from the market and redo the upgrade.

(I couldn't easily replace build.prop with a fresh copy, myself)

I used TB to backup then restore VZNavigator. I will try to get a clean version from the store.

Issues with Safestrap

If you are using Safestrap prior to the 9.1.41 OTA update, be sure you go into the Safestrap app, and click "Uninstall Recovery."

I had issues trying to install the OTA update - it would start the update and about a third of the way in it would stop and then I would get a "system update failed" message on the next boot up. I had done everything else recommended on this thread and other forums (e.g. used Voodoo to backup and temporarily unroot, unfroze the bloatware, reverted changed system files back to original condition, etc.) but it would still fail on me. After I uninstalled Safestrap's recovery, the OTA update worked and am now running Jelly Bean with root!

Hope this helps anyone with the issue I faced.
[RAZR HD Android Development] danawr:
I learned the hard way as well. I followed the DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility including the step to install Safestrap before the Jelly Bean Update. The update aborts with a hashcode mismatch on the /system/bin/logwrapper file. Safestrap installs it's own version of this file. After starting over and skipping the Safestrap step I have successfully installed the Jelly Bean update with Root intact.

I get to 6. install Root exploit using DROID RAZR HD Utility 1.00 (make sure you read the note about pressing Vol Up and Power on your phone when asked to do so). Also NOTE: Wiping 'Data' will erase all your Camera pics that are NOT stored on 'SDCard' by default.

When I try to root I get an error message stating adb is not recognized as an internal or external command.

Prior to starting this process I was already running an older version of JB and I was rooted. Everything worked perfectly.

Right now I'm back to ICS with no root. I haven't attempted to install the OTA update or the new JB. Any ideas what is causing this issue?
[RAZR HD Android Development] projekt8e:
It appears people have been able to keep their root with OTA root keeper after using the OTA update. Maybe root ICS and use the OTA?

Yes I had the same message flashing for the past 5 hours, I was one of the soak testers... I never had a problem rooting or installing any of the leaks or rom's prior to testing the soaks but now that message pops up every couple seconds and disappears, sometimes it stays and you have to push ok but it comes right back!!!

I have used Matts utility 3 times now and tried different things, I think somehow something was updated when I was on the soak and then backed up to my google account and it gets restored when I register my account now with the leaks but isnt compatible with it...

I have finally tried a Factory Data reset once I was seeing those annoying Moto messages(Rooted on latest JB Leak) and have updated everything and now they are gone and I am still rooted!!! :good:

Can Safestrap be installed back after the OTA update?
[RAZR HD Android Development] cditty:
I used OTA Rootkeeper and also upgraded to SU Elite and turned on their OTA protection.

I left protection on in SU, temporarily unrooted in Voodoo. Took the Verizon OTA from the Verizon network. Installed it, restored root in Voodoo and I kept root without a problem.

The key is to make sure you update the SU binaries first. I had to do it twice, because I left that step out in the first try and lost root.

i apologize if the answer is in here already but i could not find an exact answer.
