[Motorola Droid RAZR] EvoNotion:
Matt, thanks for an awesome BAT ;)

I've read through the thread and your instructions, but before I attempt your method, I thought I would ask since I can't find the answer .

I'm on ICS .211 in ROM Slot 1 with SafeStrap 3.05

My Stock side won't boot.

Do I need to do anything in SafeStrap before running your utility? Do I need to be on the Stock Side?

Thanks.

**EDIT** Nevermind, i just went with it, looks good, rooted and happy, thank you!

I tried this utility multiple times with no success. Here is a screen shot when I run the .bat file. I've followed the directions regarding smartactions, have my USB debugging on, and not using mass storage. My drivers are updated too. Any suggestions?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AnoraxAudio:
did you extract the ZIP before you tried running the .bat?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTIM2L8:
From the screenshot it looks like you haven't extracted the contents to a folder on your computer. Extract to a folder on your desktop and open the folder and run it from there.

I get this exact error every time I run this (about the third time now and still no SU), but unlike this guy I can't resolve this by clearing Smartactions data or switching out of mass storage mode (have been in MTP mode).

I feel I should also make note that I am running SmartActions 4.2.2.4.2 according to the App Info page (while the play store insists I'm using 4.2.2.4.0). Unfortunately my device shipped with JB 4.1.2 and I can't uninstall updates to smartactions as there are no updates to uninstall. Is my version too advanced for the exploit?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dlintz:
Doh! Rooted with no problems. I feel like I'm getting dumber every day when it comes to all things techy. Having a kid takes up so much of my time these days. Thanks!

No Problem

I will say goodbye to my fifties come July 2014 and start a new decade in my life. I work in an it department which gives me a little edge but Android is totally different from what I do for a living.

Just glad I could help you as sometimes the answer is right in front of you but you can't see it because you are looking for it in an obvious place.

Happy Thanksgiving...

Hello, my phone had some battery issues, despite this fact i decided to try your tool, everything was fine, then I was writting the system and failed because of low battery, now I am getting just AP fastboot screen and it look like my phone is not charging, is there any possible way how to swutch off the battery level check?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
Get in fastboot mode and put it to your wall charger, let it there four 30mins or an hour, then it should work

Tapped from my RazR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] icefun:
As i mentioned before, I am facing some battery issues, I left my phone 2 days on charger, but I have still low battery
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ins5736:
The phone won't charge in fastboot. You need to get a factory cable. The factory cable won't charge, but it will provide power while you flash.

OG RAZR XT912 got 4.4 before S4!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
For me it solved the low battery in fastboot mode to let in wall charger

Tapped from my RazR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] icefun:
I have already odered the cable, because my phono is not charging in Fastboot mode, I have measured it, there is nothing going into the battery, because I am stuck in AP fastboot mode, nothing less nothing more
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mad_fitter:
Great script, OP. Makes every process involved painless and easy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moparfreak426:
so what happens if phone isnt 100% charged?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Usually nothing, but it's always something good to follow if you don't have a factory cable. Sometimes it takes multiple times to flash things, so if you start at 20% you could very well kill the battery and you wouldn't have a good time without a factory cable.

I just got this phone today and on 4.0.4. Using this utility after rooting can I use any rom or do I have to stick with an ics rom? If, not could someone point me on how to get on jellybean or kitkat from 4.0.4 - I've done some searching but looks like this is the first start....also does this have a custom recovery?

thanx in advane!!

Redoing my phone

I am rooted on .16 and currently running a custom ROM. I want to redo my phone and do the process all over again because its running kind of choppy lately (I might of messed up something in the past). I have Matt's Utility but not sure which option to run to redo everything and start fresh again (been awhile since I've done this). I am already rooted so I'm not sure if I have to use option 1 or just use option 3. Also I have SS3.65 on my SD card of my phone so I don't want to use option 4. Any help would be great.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bfederspill:

I'm having the same problem. Here's what pops up:

I tried running the program as an admin, I have my smart actions stripped of any actions until I do the root process, driver are up to date. I've attempted at least 6 times. No luck. Any solutions?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ins5736:
You can use the utility to flash back to the original firmware, which should include the previous version of Smart Actions. Alternatively, you can search for the Droid RAZRBlade exploit itself, rather than running it from Matt's utility. I couldn't get root with the utility a few months ago, but Dan's batch file did the trick.

Also, be sure you follow every step precisely. Even minor deviations prevent the exploit from working.

OG RAZR XT912 got 4.4 before S4!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nicktyelor:
I've tried Dan's version as well with the same problem. I also just flashed back to original firmware and tried matt's version again with no luck. Sigh....

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

I read over at droidrzr that someone needed to do a clean data wipe (so option 1 right?), but would this mess with my contacts, texts, files, etc? Or is it just a reset of the motorola apps?

Update: after some research, clean wipe does reset your device entirely, and I really don't want to have to do that. Is there any solution people have found? I just want to simply root my phone without a reset...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AnoraxAudio:
I didn't post in the thread that I had found a solution, but I did and I think it might help you.

It wasn't my version of Smartactions that was the problem, it was my screen lock settings

What I had to do was go under the settings for the lockscreen and completely disable the screen lock. When you run the utility you need to make sure that your screen lock is set to "none". It won't work even when it's set to "slide" (that's what I had it set on and until I disabled it the exploit wouldn't work). It has to be set on "none" in order to get it working properly (at least, it had to be that way for it to work for me).

Hopefully this works for you. Good luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nicktyelor:
Ok, I'll try that. Also, did you have a short cut for Smart Actions on your 1st home screen? I'm thinking having it there would make the process more direct. Will update with results.

Thanks!

Update: SUCCESS

I can't thank you enough. Holy cow Anorax, THANK YOU. I was literally just about to do a clean wipe on my phone and thought I might as well check the forums for any answers. Root worked flawlessly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AnoraxAudio:
It's not a problem at all, I'm just glad I could be helpful before you did something regrettable.

To be honest I was about ready to quit attempting root by the time I found out about the screen lock thing, so I know how frustrated you were about it.

I'm honestly surprised that the utility doesn't mention that having the lock screen active could get in the way of rooting, because it needs to, especially since it's affected the exploit more than once. Or at least it should be in the OP if anything.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] panicfreek:
Do we have any idea on when this will be updated for us dummy's that just bought this phone today & surprised to find out that KitKat had been installed?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ins5736:
Probably never. If you have KitKat on your phone already, that means you already have root (Superuser) and a custom recovery (BMM or safestrap) installed. Finally, the utility should work regardless of the rom on the phone because the bootloader is locked and therefore unchanged.

OG RAZR XT912 got 4.4 before S4!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] panicfreek:
ok to make myself even dummier.. Kitkat is not on the phone =( .. the phone is stock..trying to find the easiest way to root.. i have used this utility before on my previous razr but it does not seem to be working for the razr maxx... any suggestions?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tristar:
Does this utility work if .215 leak is installed ?

If this is already answered, I apologize, however I was unable to find it..

Can someone assist with this query ?

Does this utility work if .215 leak is installed ?

I have searched the threads and found that .215 needs to be downgraded to .211, however all recommend Utility 1.82 which I'm unable to find.

Will Matt's JB util do the trick ?

Thanks !

It is kind of strange but I am pretty sure I have never ever unlock my lock screen in order to use this utility.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] AnoraxAudio:
Hmm... Maybe it has to do with my phone being relatively new? I got mine about six months ago from Verizon's phone replacement insurance company (Azurion?), so maybe you have to have the screen completely unlocked if you recently got the phone

My spyder is xt910. this method can be for me?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bwpoersch:
Guys, I'm pulling my hair out here. I have an XT912 and ALL I did was root the phone and installed the CWM Black apk, now I'm getting the "Encryption Unsuccessful" error and can no longer boot. I've read thru all of this and it seems I should be able to fix it with this utility, but I'm unable to download it using any of the links. It either never gives me a link to download or it wants me to download some stupid iLivid media streamer, but nothing downloads!! Can someone either tell me how to download this OR provide a direct link that eliminates the guesswork about HOW do download it? Thank you in advance!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bwpoersch:
Well I screwed it up but good this time, tired of waiting for a response to above, I changed partition size and now it won't boot at all, just flashes the "M" logo, then goes dark. Computer sees the Razr in device manager, but that's all. I'm downloading the ADB SDK to see if I can do something with it, if not, the phone's going in a shoe box.

Recent VZW update broke root

I just received VZW's latest update and it broke root. The phone is now Android ver. 4.1.2, system ver. 98.72.165.XT912.Verizon.en.US

Yup! You can restore with this utility from 165.

Hi Matt. I need to flash a DROID Maxx back to 4.2.2 from 4.4. Would that be possible using your utility?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
Yup it can be downgraded with this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RBarnett09:
Will it work to root the latest OTA as well?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
No harm in trying.

I have to return my Razr back to work. It's been rooted since day one, but no custom roms. It's currently running 4.1.2 (build 9.8.20-72_VZW-16-5). Just want to make sure I can restore back to stock with this script.

Will I have any problems if I just Flash JB firmware (no data wipe)?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
I believe you'd probably be OK, but if you're returning it you want to wipe it anyway.

Don't know if this is a little late or not, but I would definitely give this a shot. If you can get to APfastboot, I think you'll be fine in trying.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] teamfatman76:
Not booting to fastboot at all!

I was in the process of using the script, and had a catastrophic fail of my PC, and now the Razr wont boot past the green M logo, stays there a few seconds, then shuts off. If I leave the phone plugged in to the PC, this process repeats without me pressing buttons, Any suggestions?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
You need to catch it on reboot to get it into AP Fastboot mode again. Its gonna be tricky.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teamfatman76:
Gave it a shot, just kept pressing both vol keys and power, held it for about 30 seconds, it flashed the green Moto logo for about 15 seconds, then it disappeared, and no other response, held it for about three minutes longer, and no response. If I release the keys, sometimes, the green M will flash, I try pressing vol & power, no response. If I wait until screen is blank again, and press vol & power, a green line will flash across screen, but no other response.

I've also noticed when I press vol down and power, then the green line flashes, if I press vol up or power, it then flashes to the green Moto logo for 15-30 seconds, then the screen goes blank. Even if I run the script and leave it at "waiting on device" it didn't get me anywhere.

Ideas?

Quick question.

My phone already has

Android Vers. :4.1.2

Do I have to do steps 1 or 2 shown in the opening guide?

Or can I just continue on with steps 3 and 4?

After wiping phone of course....

.::-EDIT-::.

I just decided to go ahead and do all steps just to be sure it takes..

Thanks RazrGuy!

I have the utilities for both the xt912 and a droid 4 and like an idiot ended up running option 1 of the droid 4 utility on my xt912 on accident. It gave me some kind of mbm error ... Failed and just turned off forever during reboot. Any advice is very much appreciated as it is completely dead with no signs of life when charging the battery directly, hooked to my pc or both.? Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
The only thing I can suggest is gambling $10 on a TBH factory programming adapter. Besides powering up the phone without it needing to boot first, I'm told it also forces the phone into AP fastboot mode so you can go ahead and flash it.

I don't have a link handy, but you can Google them; you can also find instructions for making your own adapter/cable, but IMHO it's well worth the money even if you are an electronic tech just to avoid the chance of damaging your phone.

BTW: my sig link is to an updated version of the utility for xt912, including the latest versions of firmware and SafeStrap...
