HELP

I can use all the steps in the 1.33 version on my motorola droid razr XT926 on android 4.1.2 9.20. 1.XT926.Verizon.en.US 9.8.Q-79-1, I know if I worked since I want to upgrade to a custom ROM:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[RAZR HD Android Development] phufford:
No, you cannot. 9.20.1 doesn't have a working bootloader unlock for it. To make it worse, once you're on 9.20.1, you'll be stuck on it until someone figures out how to find a new exploit to unlock the bootloader again. The 9.20.1 update patched the old exploit that allowed for the original bootloader unlock.

You will, however, be able to root 9.20.1. So at least you have something, but you'll be waiting for a new bootloader exploit before you can run a custom ROM.
[RAZR HD Android Development] iBolski:
Actually, it was patched BEFORE the latest OTA. There was a 9.79 OTA that actually fixed the bootloader unlock exploit.

The latest OTA patches the previous root exploit and at this time, there is no existing root for this OTA, unless you have an unlocked bootloader.
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
Actually, its called 9.18.79 and its the same as 9.20.1, according to SamuriHL,

and patched the BL unlock as described by the previous poster.

After trying to run option 1 to install the stock firmware coming from a version of Cyanogenmod, I'm stuck on the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen. Any suggestions?
[RAZR HD Android Development] RikRong:
Did you FDR after restoring to stock?
[RAZR HD Android Development] m_kranzler11:
I think the problem is that it is failing to install the system image. When I run option #1 it says "FAILED (remote failure)" when trying to install the system image. Any ideas or workarounds?
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
try this https://www.dropbox.com/s/bpjghbbv0v6r4v5/DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.3.gpt fix.rar

and if you have twrp installed, i suggest you switch to cwm afterwards, twrp is the root of a lot of evils imo.
[RAZR HD Android Development] m_kranzler11:
Finally got it back up and running. For some reason I couldn't get it to install the system image from OSX, however after many tries it finally worked on Windows.

[RAZR HD Android Development] gtownie:
Thanks. I called Verizon and they are sending me a replacement. I'll try that utility now anyway.

EDIT - Actually, I'm kind of afraid to mess anything up (or change anything) since VZW is sending me a new one. I think I'm going to hold off on the utility, even though I'm anxious to try it. Just because I'm curious, what would that utility do differently?
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
not sure why you are worried about messing something up, its already messed up. plus your bootloader is unlocked, which could lead to a bill for the new phone if they notice that. also, if the refirb comes with one of the newer updates, you are done modding

just my opinion.
[RAZR HD Android Development] gtownie:
Point taken. Tried it and got the following:

Oh well - thumbs up and thanks for sending that over.
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
hmmmm wtf lol

im not an expert but im guessing thats not run from a windows machine?
[RAZR HD Android Development] gtownie:
Oh forgot to mention - I'm on a mac. Able to use the utility in the first post (1.34) via Terminal. Is the one from Dropbox Windows only?
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
yes, it doesn't use the standard fastboot, im guessing that's why the commands failed.

i didnt make the base multi platform script so im not sure how to fix it. fastboot needs to have an "m" in front of it to work the way i have it set up, like mfastboot.

if you know how to do it manually just flash the gpt-main file using mfastboot from the command prompt from within the directory of the new script.

that file is doing all the work here, so if it works, you can use the 1.33 or 1.34 utility as you normally would to put the rest of the files back on.
[RAZR HD Android Development] ibscum:
OK. Please bear with me. I am unlocked and am on slimbean 4.3.1 - which is a great rom. I want to restore to stock, partly in anticipation of getting the kitkat update. Plus I've been feeling the need to go stock for the stability since I use this phone heavily for work.

Am I correct in assuming this will safely restore me back to 4.1 stock without issues? Do I need to restore stock recovery to catch any OTA? I have read that downgrading will cause issues so I'm being paranoid about it
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
yes this will restore you to stock, yes you need to put stock recovery back on to install updates, the phone will "catch" them no matter your recovery but if its not stock the install will fail, and no you will not have issues from downgrading. any issues would commonly be from inadequate wiping.

"Superuser binary (su) must be updated" --> "error installing Superuser"

Hi, I've been following the instructions with 1.33 on my Mac and have gotten as far as installing Superuser and Moto-pocaly (steps 4 & 5).

First off, I had this phone on Verizion 9.30.1 before (don't have a VZN account/SIM), and I'm trying to root this phone, few things that's going wrong:

Once reverted back to 9.18.94 with option 1, it loads up and can't get past the "Please wait a few minutes" after selecting a language (so I have to press the "4 corners" on the setup screen a few times to skip past it)

Installing Superuser and Motopocaly isn't a problem but Superuser, once launched, shows "binary (su) must be updated" and clicking install gives me "error installing Superuser" (thus, Motopocaly can't be used unlock bootloader), can't check Root because there's no WiFi to download the root checker app

WiFi toggle is greyed out and can't activate it (can't connect, no networks listed, it doesn't show a device MAC Address either... weird)

Again, I'm on a Mac and I've followed the instructions to a tee (everything seems to be going right). What am I doing wrong? Any help would be sincerely appreciated, thanks!!!

You mean this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2602592

Saferoot is meant for for 9.30 but I'm back on 9.18 through Matt's utility

Followed it all the way thorough:

Succeeded in getroot!
Remount success!
Copying files..
Done.. reboot to enable root!

ADB shell seems to be working (it's being logged multiple times, over and over), but it's just stuck on, indefinitely:

On your phone, watch for the SuperSU permission popup and give
permission for ADB Shell to gain root permissions.

No luck so far. Anything else I can try?

Edit: so I get this after 10 minutes of waiting

Edit: nevermind! I just switched from camera (ptp) to media device (mtp) mode a few times and it finished automatically!

Hey guys.

I downloaded both 1.33 and 1.34, and neither one seems to have the updated list of tools (ie. 8 of them. #4 being the updated root)

I'm running it from mac terminal if that makes any difference...any ideas?

thanks!
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
i did not put the updated root for the latest build in the scriptd. the root in there is respective to the build of the phone.

as for the mac problems, i didn't make any changes from the 1.2 versions (matts versions) and the 1.3 versions (mine). i don't know if any mac code needed to be changed for the newer builds and im not a scripting wizard and cant do it if that's the problem. sorry

try to bring up the 1.2 build and if it shows the options you are lacking, the there is a problem on mt end that i cant fix. if it doesn't show the options its a problem on your end.

Data Wipe and NO Data Wipe files are included.
[RAZR HD Android Development] sheep348:
I thought moving my question here would be better for anyone looking later. Once I download and open a .bat file I just need to follow the instructions provided in the utility? Or is it really just one click and wait till the phone boots normally?
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
you need to follow the instructions, i think its 2 clicks and 1 number lol

after it starts, just let it go. the phone will reboot when its done.

be patient, it may take over 5 minutes (occasionally longer) to fully boot up.

this has nothing to do with the utility and is normal.
[RAZR HD Android Development] sheep348:
Again thanks I don't mean to complain or be complicated I just don't know much about what I am doing. Download will finish in five minutes and I'll give it a shot.

Worked perfectly. I downloaded SuperSU but I don't have root. Did I miss something obvious?

you lost root when you flashed, this was unavoidable.

AP Fastboot: Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 1

Hello, if I have a RAZR HD that says

Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 1

at the AP Fastboot screen, should I just comment out the line of the script that flashes the boot code? The current bootloader version is 10.9B.

Thanks much!
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
im not sure what you are implying, but ill make a guess.

you shouldnt need to edit out anything.

once the bootloader is unlocked, there is no known method to lock it back (if thats even possible).

with an unlocked bootloader, you can flash forward and backward at will with no worries.

be sure to read the WARNING in the op for flashing backwards with this script, if that applies to you.

Hello,

I have an XT925, my bootloader is unlocked, and I'm on official leaked OTA 4.4 (modified to be flashed with CWM recovery).

RSD lite fail to downgrade befause of GPT security. It seems it is because of "partition_signed" if I understood the OP message...

Can I downgrade with RSD Lite without "partition_signed" ?

Thank you

Edit : I tried, I had to remove patititon_signed and tz_signed from XML file to enable flash

Someone know what tz_signed is for ?
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
as long as whatever "services" you deleted are in one of the partitions that would normally be flashed by a factory file, such as system, then yes re-flashing as you stated will replace the files.
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
yes, to downgrade you need to remove those 2 lines and getvar, as you stated.

the reason you have to delete them is, they can never be downgraded, even with an unlocked phone. trying will just result in a fail result as im sure you saw.

tz= trust zone, its part of the security. you could use google if you want a more detailed description.
[RAZR HD Android Development] sunkim50:
sorry if this question has been answered. i am currently using a XT926 with an UL bootloader. I am on the official KK rom, but looking to go back to JB. Which package should i use and i assume i am going to have to remove those 2 lines from the XML? Can someone provide me with some steps to get back to JB.
[RAZR HD Android Development] :
download whichever jb file you want from here

remove the previously mentioned lines

flash with rsd
[RAZR HD Android Development] sunkim50:
ok so i downloaded the latest JB that I wanted to downgrade to. I extracted the file into a fold and tried to edit the XML file but could not find the parition_signed or the tz_signed lines in the file. am i missing something? is this the correct XML file i should be using? XML filename is VRZ_XT926_9.8.1Q-94-1_CFC.xml
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
his file is a little different than ours.

i dont have it downloaded to copy the exact lines, but they should look similar to this:

step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt.bin" MD5="4B0DA1EC11FE16010A852C0794EE1E6B"

step operation="flash" partition="tz" filename="tz.mbn" MD5="8514ED883150B7A0579F9431CD872B39"

and the 1 or 2 that say "......getvar......"
[RAZR HD Android Development] sunkim50:
thanks, just got it working, but just realized i don't have root now and I don't think I have my recovery. Anyone to fastboot into the phone and push the root?
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
to do it that way you would need to push and install the recovery first.

from the cwm post:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery CWM6049-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img

you will need adb and fastboot to do it.

if you dont have them, but have any of this utility downloaded, open the command prompt from within the utility directory. both are in there, thats how i do it.
[RAZR HD Android Development] bweN diorD:
almost forgot, if you use the utilities adb and fastboot, dont forget to drop your recovery file in the directory or it wont be able to find it.
[RAZR HD Android Development] sunkim50:
Thanks, i got it working. I used the mfastboot.exe and loaded a TWRP recovery and finally back to JB. Thanks for your help.

Got in case anyone else wants to do this:

1. Download the Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.9.30.1.XT926.Verizon.en.US from here

2. Extract the file into its own folder and edit the XML file and remove lines that contain getvar and the 2 other lines mentioning partition and tz (see previous post).

2a. If you are using the file above, then attached is the edit XML file that I used which can be unzipped and overwrite the exiting file in the extracted folder

3. Use RSD lite to flash using the edited XML file

4. Once the phone reboot you will need to fastboot into the phone again and load a custom recovery (mfastboot.exe and the recovery file will be needed)

i did install the apk , then the phone said that will reboot , and after 15 sec he is rebooting , but after that a`m not rooted at all . any ideas ?

my system version is 182.46.10.xt926 ...

after you install cwm, flash this in recovery. once the bootloader is unlocked you dont need towelroot, and its best to just flash the su zip in recovery. it will get you a properly working root.
