I just downloaded towelroot and when I tried to root it said my device is not supported. I am on the RAZR M running 4.4.2 so how did you make it recognize your device as a gs5?
[Droid RAZR M General] Shmaks:
You should go here
[Droid RAZR M General] crim3s:
Thanks, it worked. Though I should point out for anyone else who sees this and wants to root their phone using this method that, in the link you gave me, the op's link to download hydrogen peroxide does not appear to work at all. It takes you to the site and everything but when you actually try to download the file a message comes up saying "This file contains a virus and can only be downloaded by the original uploader" (not verbatim).

But you can easily get the file by copying the name and pasting it on Google. The first link that came up worked. And once again, thank you.

what's the fuss?

It's totally simple! Check that your drivers have been installed correctly in the Device Manager. Should show up a new device when you connect the phone. Else, get the apk and run it on your phone, this was the way i first rooted mine . If all else fails, try Hydrogen Peroxide. That can't possibly fail.

The best is KINGROOT google it through phone . one click root tool . very easy and powerful.

this will root our phone in no time.

[Droid RAZR M General] Guapo613:
If your on 183.46.15 or 182.46.15 then towelroot will not work. If your on 183.46.10 or 182.46.10, then towelroot WILL work
[Droid RAZR M General] huzaifaaleem:
Thanks. I flashed an older firmware and installed towelroot. It worked :)
[Droid RAZR M General] Zohaibzx:
How did you flash an older firmware?
[Droid RAZR M General] DragonFire1024:
Only way to do so would be to have an unlocked bootloader. But why bother rooting if the bootloader is unlocked? There are more than a few custom ROMs for this device. I prefer Lineage 13, but currently have Lollipop 5.0.2.
[Droid RAZR M General] Zohaibzx:
Actually no. You just need to be rooted. I installed the latest Xposed firmware and installed framework from within the app. Xposed working perfectly now :)
[Droid RAZR M General] DragonFire1024:
Sorry I thought you meant the phone's firmware.
[Droid RAZR M General] huzaifaaleem:
It was this crazy method I came across on youtube. It used some QHSUSB mode in which you deliberately have to brick your phone for a while. It was just a slightly dated build though, no significantly old build can be flashed on a locked bootloader.
[Droid RAZR M General] lenchina julias:

Towelroot v5 is totally free and it is small in size (111 kb) easy to download and use. Towelroot v5 functions offline as well as without a PC it will root your device with one single click.

well i gotta say im impressed!!! to sum it up i installed 2 apks and im rooted and bootloader unlocked!!!! install rom manager in in 30 min ill have a custom rom!!! which do you guys prefer??
[Droid RAZR M General] mrkhigh:
So I assume the easiest way on this device to get cwm is ROM manager from play store?
[Droid RAZR M General] jrk190:
Unless you can fastboot flash. I'm not familiar with Moto Devices, my Nexus has me spoiled. I'd like to use CWM touch, do I just to fastboot flash recovery (cwm.img)

[Droid RAZR M General] ericerk:
All we need now is a custom recovery, and we can flash CM.
[Droid RAZR M General] megaghostgamer:
Not all custom recoveries work! http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960/ From Dhackers folder you're wanting to grab the TWRP that says 2710 aka 2.7.1.0. This one works with the KK update, the rest don't. You can also find his kk cm11 test builds in there! I don't suggest running them as a Daily Driver, they lag badly. Scored 3751 in benchmark pushing the processor to its limit. CM11 also has a display bug where when you turn the screen back on, it's automatically dim. The rest seems to be operable. A good start for us! :)
[Droid RAZR M General] jrk190:
What about CWM? It's my preference. If not, I'll learn to love TWRP. And it's just the new kernel, I bet it'll pan out soon ;D
[Droid RAZR M General] TheForceUnleashed:
So which CM11 build (3.4.x) is, in you guys' opinion, is the smoothest?
[Droid RAZR M General] gappledroid:

[Droid RAZR M General] megaghostgamer:
I tried flashing their latest cwm touch from their site, no luck. I'd use TWRP for now, I'm sure stuff will eventually work out.
[Droid RAZR M General] jrk190:
One thing at a time, I guess. I'm so excited.
[Droid RAZR M General] megaghostgamer:
Yeah, I was excited when I got it too. I had a droid 4 (TI OMAP like your GNexus) and in comparison the RAZR M does circles. I will warn you, it'll lag here and there but that's because of the script motorola puts in the phone for longer battery. There's a forum on droidrzr site on the razr hd side on how to remove it with a flashable. I would link you but I can't considering that site needs to be signed up for and that's against rules to link stuff to things with required log in. If you have any questions about the RAZR M, just mail me!

As for the topic, don't get too excited everyone. Majority of the 4.4+ Roms do not work for us. I'd give it time and just play around with stuff for now.
[Droid RAZR M General] jrk190:
I went through the same stages. I went from Xperia Play, to LG enlighten, Then HTC Merge, Droid Bionic, then Galaxy Nexus. Too many in the past year... Hoping the RAZR will be my last before I switch carriers. The snapdragon and NFC are what attract me. At least now we can use ROM's to extend the life of this phone when Verizon pulls the plug on support, like they always do.
[Droid RAZR M General] mauri6870:
Yes, that's the firmware version i'm on and it worked for me
[Droid RAZR M General] TheForceUnleashed:

Hey guys. So i unlocked the bootloader, fastboot says Status Unlocked, code 3, the normal. Anyway, i flashed TWRP 2.5 in fastboot mode but whenever i try to enter recovery mode, the "Warning: bootloader unlocked" screen stays there endlessly. Long pressing volume up+down doesn't do anything. Eventually the device reboots. Any help?
[Droid RAZR M General] megaghostgamer:
Flash this http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960/TWRP2710-RAZR_M-KITKAT.img , it's the updated recovery. Flash it like you did 2.5 . It comes from Dhacker29's folder found here: http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960/

[Droid RAZR M General] Klen2:
The easiest way is to download recovery from here: http://loki.rombitch.com/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960 (TWRP 2.7.1 for M) And flash it via Rashr app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools

It shouldn't, but it could fix the hole, so the next OTAs won't be unlockable again. I became soak invitation, so something is comming.

Native Wifi Tether After Rooting 4.4.2

Has anyone been able to get native wifi tether to work after rooting and/or unlocking? I know the old SQL Lite / Entitlement Services hack no longer works. I tried the XPosed Framework "moto tether" module, and it didn't work. So I tried a method I found under a thread titled "Native Tether for Kit Kat 19.5.3" here on XDA, and that doesn't seem to work for me either. Another XT907 user, on page three of that thread, said that he/she was able to get it working using that method. Unfortunately, it was late and I didn't follow the directions as closely as I should have- I overwrote the original Entitlement APK file from the hack. Any chance anyone here would be willing to shoot me a copy via PM? Here's where it's located if anyone is feeling generous enough to assist a fellow Moto M rooter: /system/priv-app/VZWEntitlementService.apk

Thanks for any assistance!

[Droid RAZR M General] gappledroid:
Im a big noob in this area (still learning), but I can tell you from my understanding that Towelroot will work on 4.1.2 but not Motopocalypse to unlock the BL because the hole was patched, that's why we need to upgrade to KK because the hole is open again. Weird...NO... A dev in Motorola using the old code, that's weird. LOL

Apparently I am the only person that is having issues with rooting using Towelroot. Any tricks that I should be aware of? I downloaded the .apk and ran it, but Root Checker says I am not rooted. I was under the impression that it was a simple 'Install and Run' tool.

[Droid RAZR M General] camdecoster:
Because of the KK update, there's an issue with fast dormancy on GSM networks that renders the phone almost unusable unless you edit the build.prop file. I had purchased a Razr M for my mother-in-law but the bootloader was locked. It was fine on JB, but once she upgraded to KK, the phone wasn't going to work anymore. I ended up selling her Razr M the day that the exploit was released and read after the sale that the bootloader could be unlocked. So I went about finding another Razr M knowing that I could use the new exploit to unlock the bootloader and make the phone work. The icing on the cake was that the phone I ended up buying was still on 4.1.1 and could therefore use the original exploit to unlock the bootloader. Good grief. At least I have a working phone for my mother-in-law.

This was so easy, so glad it worked. Unlocked, have the unlocked BL graphic, checked for unlocked and code 3 in fastboot. Rebooted multiple times and root checker gave me green every time.
