I have TWRP installed so why am I not able to root? Those are errors its giving me. Can anyone help
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] techfellow:
Gave my phone to my nephew while I was at a dental appointment, and the idiot accepted the new update now my root is gone and so is my recovery. Will this utility brick my M?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] mattlgroff:
Yes everything will until we get a new root and fastboot FXZ. Which the root may not happen. You're SOL.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] mattlgroff:
You are already rooted previously so you would need to flash the Option 1 to remove it. If you are one the latest OTA you can't root (at least not yet).
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] slogar25:
Is your bootloader still unlocked? Just curious to see if that update relocked it

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] sloosecannon:
Twrp doesn't magically root the phone... You can install root if you want to from twrp, but it doesn't auto-root.

Second, the errors are caused by you not extracting the zip. It can't find adb because when it's run unextracted, it extracts the .bat to a temporary folder which doesn't have the required files. As Matt said, open the zip, extract it, then run the utility.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] techfellow:
Yes. My screen says

"Device is UNLOCKED. Status code:3"

Can't boot into CWM which I previously had, I get the android man on his back, belly open with a red triangle.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] slogar25:
Nice! You should be able to fastboot a custom recovery. Also, you would have to do some research but being unlocked should enable you to revert back to the version you were just on using RSD lite. Do the research though I am not a developer and I could be totally wrong.

New to RAZR m development. Is it still not possible to relock the bootloader? What if I return to stock and accept the update?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] simonbarsinistr:
Nothing can relock the boot loader, you've actually permanently blown an "e-fuse", or a one time only write bit of data that controlled the lock state. You'd have to do some hardware replacement to relock.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
Is there a way to get the warning for the unlocked boot loader off of the boot up screen?

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] mattlgroff:
Probably but its not related to this Utility.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Ianxcom:
Hmm. thanks guys.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] sloosecannon:
Depending on how the fuses function, there may be another one that can permanently re-lock it (I'm guessing at this point, but I find it feasible based on Dan's writeup on the exploit...)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] aviwdoowks:
FYI

I used the latest to load twrp on the newest UD.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Was your boot loader locked while you had the update?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] aviwdoowks:
No. If I did I would have deep doodoo.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] HemRoyd:
I'm confused by these statements and the following from the OP:

At what "specific" version of the OTA updates did this script become not recommended for use? Obviously there are good and bad 4.1.2 OTA's that have not been defined. Could OP be revised to clarify?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] aviwdoowks:
I used it to load twrp on the newest update.

Depending on the source of your current system.

9.8.1Q-78-1 is the ver if rsd is used. 98.18.78 if ota was taken.

This is an alternative. Bootlogo , Custom recovery & root all in one rsd flash.

Well I'm on stock 9.8.1Q-78-1 98.16.3 Locked, straight from Verizon. In (your) thread you link to, you say yourself the procedure is not tested on a locked phone...so I guess I should stay out of both of these threads :p
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
Look at the date on my post. It was after the first OTA to 4.1.2 (which you could unlock) and prior to the latest 4.1.2 OTA (which you can't unlock, but can still root). There's a root method for the latest OTA posted on DroidRzr.com.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] HemRoyd:
Yeah, I was the first to try it over there. Works great.

Now i have: XT907 9.8.1Q-66 rooted with locked bootloader

Target: XT907 9.8.1Q-78 (latest OTA)

My Plan:

1) Unlock bootloader via DROID RAZR M Utility 1.20

2) Download firmware from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/scorpion_mini_xt907/list.php

3) Replace firmware in DROID RAZR M folder

4) Flash via DROID RAZR M Utility 1.20

Is it possible? Problems with root?

You can't unlock the M on the latest update, so I haven't bothered.

Works perfectly!

Hello All -

Just wanted to report that this tool saved my @ss. I had deleted the Verizon bloatware system apps after rooting the first time (big mistake, should have disabled them instead) and couldn't take the OTA update. I was able to use option 1 to get me back where I needed to be, and option 5 to root again. Worked perfectly. Used OTA Rootkeeper app to suspend root, upgraded via the the OTA, and then restored root back with OTA Rootkeeper. I can't thank you enough for your work Matt! The only thing that I don't get is before I was getting pushed the 98.16.3 update, and after performing the option 1, I started getting the 98.18.78 update. I have read that they are one in the same, but can't find anything that details each respectively. Doesn't seem to be a big deal, but still makes me wonder why..

Caleb
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] cheezzzz:
so I was on 4.1.1 eclipse and i RSD'd back to 4.1.1 stock

i then installed this utility 1.2, assumed it would work, but every time i select option 1 it would freeze up, my uber weak laptop pc would start to lag like mad.

I then tried to root, unlock BL while still on 4.1.1 stock and select option 1, it froze up again. read somewhere that it requires 2GB+ ram and USB3.0 free? is that why it seems like it takes forever?

anyways now I have just OTA-ed 4.1.2, will take it one step at a time, pretty sick of rebooting my laptop everytime it freezes up.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] aviwdoowks:
Matt has not made it ready for ...78.

I have used it to flash recovery on ...78 that part is ok.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] cheezzzz:
oh.. i think it would be heaps handy to include step by step instructions AND exceptions for compatibility of the Utility

managed to root and unlock BL after i OTA-ed to 4.1.2 though :D thank God
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] aviwdoowks:
This is not possible: ( correct me if I am wrong)

"managed to root and unlock BL after i OTA-ed to 4.1.2 "

I am sure you meant something else.

Or your BL was ULed beforehand.

Matt's motochopper will not root ...78

You must flash SU from the recovery Matt's installed.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] sloosecannon:
He may have OTA'd to the first 4.1.2 update that didn't patch the bootloader unlock
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] birdgofly:
Thank you so much for this utility! Yay root!

I used it to root my new razr m which came with 98.16.3! I used option one, then option five, and it worked like a charm!

But now I'm having trouble unlocking the bootloader =( The phone is now 98.15.66, and the app installed just fine. I granted it super user permissions and then rebooted annnnd nothing. I've tried it again a couple of times (press the button, reboot) but nothing different ever happens and still no unlock; nothing looks different and it won't let me install a custom recovery.

I've been searching a lot and from what I understand it is only the 98.18.78 that is unable to be unlocked? Or am I SOL as well?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] aviwdoowks:
Please post a SS or all the phone info page from settings.

As I want to see what turned out.

You are saying you successfully downgraded from the newest sw (step 1) & rooted (step 5).

This is newsworthy.

You cannot unlock on 98.16.3 the hole is patched.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] birdgofly:
I'm sorry I don't have a screenshot of it being 98.16.3 but it definitely was. The build date was May 8th I believe? The hole was patched with that update also? That really sucks =(

p.s. The baseband is old b/c I have it flashed to pageplus
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] birdgofly:
using this tutorial.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] aviwdoowks:
So there seems to be a root path for 98.16.3 at least by downgrading & getting root with Matt's.

This is news!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] birdgofly:
Well good! I had no idea I was getting lucky with that lol. Now if only I could be so lucky with the bootloader!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
.3 and .78 are just 2 different versions of the update. Neither of which are unlockable. However, you can root it.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] prosttyle:
Hello, i'm From Chile and i use my Razr M on GSM 1900 band. The phone is Bootloader Unlocked, but after trying severals custom ROMs i want to go back to Stock, flashing Stock ROM with this tool gonna affect my connectivity in any way? i'm scared that the radio.img file would turn my phone unable to get signal or something.

i'm really confused with this whole unlock US GSM stuff, my phone came unlocked and with Verizon ROM, but i dont know what they actually did before.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] mattlgroff:
RSD Lite.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dablazeizon4eva:
If i rsd lite back to stock will i have to re do the gsm unlock?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
Most likely, yes.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dablazeizon4eva:
OK.. That shouldn't be a problem. Are you aware of anywhere i can get the stock firmware/fastboot zip file to use in rsd lite? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
Here is a complete listing of RSD Firmware for just about every Moto out there.

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dablazeizon4eva:
OK. Thank you.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dablazeizon4eva:
no luck.. stuck on boot screen

I just went through every firmware listed and no luck... I am now stuck on the stock boot screen??? Any way to bring it back???
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dablazeizon4eva:
FIXED!!!!!!

used VZW_XT907_4.0.4-7.7.1Q-144_SMQ_S1-36-10_CFC.xml and deleted the commands that failed and it worked great. Used RSD Lite...

had no problems getting the phone to go back to stock like i posted in last post but now it had an update.... i downloaded the update and it went to restart but now it wont turn on at all or even light up when plugged in??? im in deep this time. Anyone know a solution?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] gagnier27:
hello, i update to the latest OTA, but before that unlocked the bootloader how can i instal a custom recovery TWRP. thank
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] mattlgroff:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Boot right into TWRP because the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script will remove it every time system tries to boot. TWRP will ask if you want to disable recovery flash, you should tell it to do so.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] megaghostgamer:
So I just wanna get this straight, I'm picking up a Motorola droid razr m tomorrow and if it has 4.1.2 latest ota, I cannot root it nor unlock bootloader also if it has let's say the 98.16.3 that is rootable, can't I safestrap it and use roms via safestrap?? Thanks everyone and have a great day! Also sorry if this already has been answered, I've been looking through this thread for a while and got confused from others experiences with the device.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
.78 and .3 are both updates, just different version of it. With that being said, you can't unlock it but you can root it. Once you can root it, you can use SS. However, there are very few ROMs available for SS.

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] megaghostgamer:
Thank you and yeah I have safestrap on my droid 4 and to use newer roms leech kernel is needed which I see isn't available for razr m but that's not a problem. I run on stock on my droid 4 with root anyway. Thanks again and have a great day! :)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
I bricked my phone and had to use RSD to restore back to stock. I am trying to re-root it and to no avail. This is starting to tick me off greatly. Any ideas what is going wrong?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
I you RSD'd back to the latest update, you'll need to use Motochopper 1.3 to root.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] megaghostgamer:
Let me get this right. The latest ota can get unlocked boot loader? Ignore me scratching base band out didn't mean to

Also sorry for million of questions.. seems people have told me it can and can't because I have latest ota on my phone

Also im referring to motochopper from the link that someone gave me on here
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
The latest update (.3 or .78) CANNOT be unlocked, but it can be rooted.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] megaghostgamer:
Thank you. Sorry for asking. Motochopper thread says latest update and I was curious but thanks :)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
Yeah Motochopper is the root exploit that has been around for the last 2 updates but Motopocalypse was the bootloader unlock exploit for the previous update.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] remf4i:
So 98.16.3 can't be used with this?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
Only if you're bootloader is unlocked. If it's not, you'll need to use Motochopper 1.3 to root. .3 and .78 are the same update.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] remf4i:
So I can't unlock my bootloader correct?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
Correct
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] cvhovey:
Read through the thread and searched elsewhere, including sbf.droid-developers.org, but don't see an answer to my question .... not new to rooting or that, but trying to get up to speed on the Razr M. I'm using TWRP ... not looking for suggestions about the other recovery options.

I'm on 4.1.2 system 98.16.3 showing build 9.8.1Q-78-1 with bootloader already unlocked and rooted.

Here's what I'm not clear about:

1) Can I still use Matt's Utility to bail myself out if I soft brick or what to return to a clean slate .... and not risk locked bootloader?

2) Or do I need to use one of the ...xml.zip files via RSD (then I assume re-unlock bootloader via Motopocalypse)?

3) ....then if RSD is the only option, unsure which ...xml.zip file to use since none show the same 9.8.1Q-78-1 build.

Thanks for helping me get up to speed.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ezknives:
I am on the build as you rooted and unlocked.... I have used this utility several times since the update... as long as your unlocked your good... the boot loader will not relock you don't need to worry about that... but you will need to root it again and update your system back to the .3 or . 78 build... I usually root install voodoo protect root update and restore root... I also had to flash a custom recovery after the restore...he did an amazing job (as always) on this utility I know he has saved many of my phones using his utilities....
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] cvhovey:
Same here, Matt has saved the day for me more than once with his tools. Unfortunately, the which files to use to "update your system back" after using Matt's tool and re-rooting is where I'm at a loss. So I think I'm going to stay put on stock rooted at least until I can figure out which of the ...xml.zip files correspond to which system version / build / build date .... something that sbf.droid-developers.org didn't bother to include in the XT907 listings.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ezknives:
Idk I just flash what ever is in the zip... option one... use motochopper zip to root... install voodoo... protect root... install updates via ota ...restore root... debloat it with RAZR toolbox...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] cvhovey:
^ Thx ... that made it clear to (semi-brain-dead) me. The steps you take jogged my brain out of hibernation so now I feel more comfortable knowing exactly what I'd need to do to back myself out of a mess.

Also, if your referring to the Razr M Toolbox from P3droid on the Play store, it keeps throwing me different error messages when trying to download ... will keep trying.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] svarasnj:
I have this locked XT907. Every single time I try to boot it in recovery mode it always hangs up on that fastboot screen with a message Device is LOCKED. Status code:0. Failed to hab check for recovery:0x56. Fastboot reason: boot failure.

So I used utility 1.20 and tried to root it, unlock bootloader. Everything seems to work fine but as soon as I try to flash to custom recovery ,thats where it all stops.

Any ideas are welcome. I;m not even sure what to do anymore. thanx guys
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
What is your firmware version?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] svarasnj:
System version: 98.15.66.xt907 verizon

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
Hm... Did you try flash FW by RSD lite?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] TheForceUnleashed:
I wonder if Motochopper could somehow work on 98.30.1.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
In your screenshot, it shows that your bootloader is locked. So, you won't be able to load a custom recovery. If you're still on the older OTA, you should be able to unlock the bootloader.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] svarasnj:
I tried. Again as soon as the phone reboots it goes to the same fastboot screen ( pic was attached in previous post) and thats it.

How can you find out if its older or newer and where? thanx
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
Did you try lastetst FW? I mean VRZ_XT907_9.8.1Q-94-1_CFC.xml.zip

If you have no unlocked boot, you can try something like this
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] svarasnj:
I tried latest FW this is what I got. It successfully decompressed the file but got the following message: see pic1 attached

I tried other 2 files from the link odexed and deoxed and got an error, see pic 2.

Somehow it cant pass the fastboot screen. It always gets stuck there.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
On S-sh - you try to flash 4.0.4! Don`t do it!!

Downgrade = death!

Go to stock recovery, make wipe data & try again to flash FW, but 4.1.2 (VRZ_XT907_9.8.1Q-66-1_1FF.xml.zip, VRZ_XT907_9.8.1Q-78-1_1FF.xml.zip or VRZ_XT907_9.8.1Q-94-1_CFC.xml.zip)

If you had "system version: 98.15.66.xt907 verizon" flash VRZ_XT907_9.8.1Q-66-1_1FF.xml.zip

Good luck, Man!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] svarasnj:
Again, my phone does not boot to recovery. Went to privacy>reset to factory settings and got this. As soon as the phone reboots and gets stuck on that fastboot screen.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
sh***t... Thats beacouse you tried to flash ICS to JB-phone... ((

Is RSD can flash it now?

P.S. Write me to PM - I`ll try to help you
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
Noigel hit it on the head, you tried to flash older firmware so it's failing at the trusted zone. You're still able to boot into fastboot, so RSD the latest firmware and you should be good.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] svarasnj:
can you please point it to the latest firmware. I highly doubt it but I can try again.
