Hi!

Attack, I just want to say, absolutely fantastic and thorough thread! Covered anything and everything!

I just have one problem...towelroot says my phone is not supported! :eek:

xt907 running version 182.46.15. TR worked flawlessly on my razr HD, and since no one else had problems with it, I don't understand why I'm receiving this error! Any ideas? Thanks :D
[Droid RAZR M General] ATTACK:
Moto patched the FakeID, Futex & TrustZone exploits on the .15 OTA. So unless your bootloader is unlocked, your stuck without root.
[Droid RAZR M General] xChowderrrx:
So I could use the FXZ and update to 183.46.10 and it should work?
[Droid RAZR M General] ATTACK:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
[Droid RAZR M General] xChowderrrx:
No sir, I can't unlock until I root, correct? And Samurai's FXZ is for locked or unlocked razr M's. I could root and unlock once I get to that version (through RSD or HouseOfMoto), right?
[Droid RAZR M General] mrkhigh:
It is infected because by definition it is a malicious file. To have to realize that this is a file that breaks into your phone.
[Droid RAZR M General] Pele2048:
So as I understand it, from the first line in this entire thread, There is NO WAY TO ROOT 183.46.15 based firmwares. And therefore no way to unlock the bootloader.

Somehow I was able to root my device with the above firmware.

Googling around, I've found that some people unlock the bootloader before rooting and others root before unlocking the bootloader.

Which is supposed to come first?
[Droid RAZR M General] fastpakr:
It can be rooted, but it cannot be unlocked.
[Droid RAZR M General] Pele2048:
Beautiful.

Scrap phone?
[Droid RAZR M General] rahimali:
It's a perfectly good phone even with a locked bootloader. Regardless, if you plan to scrap it do ask for my shipping address... :D
[Droid RAZR M General] Pele2048:
I mean it still makes phonecalls and all, but I was trying to get Cyanogenmod on it.

out of all the files here.

can someone please tell me which is KITKAT 182/183.46.10. I am on 4.0.4 and need to unlock my bootloader.

Thanks

edit

got it - KDA20.62-10.1
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
You should be able to unlock on 4.0.4. Someone asked this question on DroidRzr a couple of weeks ago. They tried Motopocalypse and it worked. The TZ is still vulnerable on 4.0.4.
[Droid RAZR M General] munchy_cool:
Worked like a charm.. One a few more queries though.. I am on JBBL and want to run cm 12 or blisspop, should i update to KKBL.. If yes then do i need to flash whole kk firmware from. Rsd or is there a way to update the BL only..

Also are twrp recoveries mentioned in OP compatible with both jbbl and kkbl..

Thanks

Lolli Popped M8
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Yes, you need to update to KKBL. I've never flashed just the BL myself, so I'm not sure if that's possible. I would just update via RSD and call it a day. The TWRP recoveries are compatible for KK, I'm not sure if they'll work for JB. I'm sure someone else will chime in.
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
"Need" is a strong word, that doesn't need to apply here.. Although it will give you more options. Currently I can flash Bliss Pop which is 5.1.1 or Vaneer which is 5.0.2 but it has more often builds. I am on a JBBL.

Bliss Pop has a JBBL version, and the recoveries are bootloader specific. ie if you have KKBL, you should NOT flash the JBBL recovery. So there are TWRP recoveries for both the JBBL and the KKBL. Some of us have NOT been updated to KitKat firmware (xt905 in Australia)

delete boat wares in debloat list but finished with bootloader loop
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
You probably deleted something important. Hopefully, you made a backup that you can restore.
[Droid RAZR M General] ATTACK:
The only items in the debloat list that would cause a bootloop, would be removing the launcher without having a replacement launcher installed. Everything else is completely safe and required no further action before removing.

Restore a backup or if your bl locked re-flash firmware.

rooting for lollipop

This is my first time here. I have never rooted any android before and don't have any knowledge of it. But i so want to change my stock kitkat 4.4.2 to lollipop. Because i like the material look and I'm bored of this kitkat interface. My system version is 182.46.15.XT907 .verizon.en.US. Is there any way. And if there is can you please guide me from scratch. Thanks
[Droid RAZR M General] mrkhigh:
Currently you cannot change stock kitkat to lollipop.

If looks is all you're after why don't you try theming it with a launcher
[Droid RAZR M General] akholicc:
that changes only the main screen and app drawer i wanted to change the status bar and its drop down. if theres any way. And btw is there not a single way i can root it?
[Droid RAZR M General] mrkhigh:
No you can root it. But you cannot upgrade to lollipop without paying more than the value of the phone to do it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=61015071

Also sadly lollipop is painfully slow on this device after a few weeks I went to kitkat again.
[Droid RAZR M General] akholicc:
thanks. and im not asking about literally upgrading it to lollipop, i heard from friends that there are some custom roms that look and feel like lollipop. i have never done this before so can you please guide me through if thats okay. please
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Since you can't unlock your boot loader, you can't install a custom ROM. However, you can root and install Xposed. There are some theming modules that can probably give you a LP look.

I really want to unlock my bootloader ?
[Droid RAZR M General] thedude59:
Not sure how many people are on here, but I had my bootloader unlocked the first go around. I m on stock 4.1.2 from what I understand in order for me to upgrade to kk I need a kk bootloader? I want to avoid using ota. I tried rsdlite 4.4.2 but it seems to just fail. And if I can upgrade to go back I just use my nandroid backup from TWRP right? Thanks for any input
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
RSD Lite version?

Firmware file name?
[Droid RAZR M General] thedude59:
The firmware was the Verizon .10 that everyone says to use with bootloader unlock. I'll have to check rsdlite version when I get home. But all I should have to do is flash the firmware through rsd, nothing really special. Kinda dummy proof isn't it? I guess my biggest fear is not being able to downgrade in case kk doesn't run well. I'm currently running on gci wireless which is a GSM network
[Droid RAZR M General] ATTACK:
Have you tried using House of Moto to flash stock firmware?

Sent from my XT1031
[Droid RAZR M General] thedude59:
Well I updated thru rsd lite to kk. Only thing is my phone could not find GSM anymore. So I then wanted to go backwards. Tried rsd to 4.1.2 did not work, tried the utility, didn't work, fastboot flashed everything manually. Now I'm soft bricked and suck on splash screen. So I used the utility 3 times and the 3rd time worked! Wahoo I was back in business, except to gsm. Tried the nv edit again, multiple times. But now a ota poped up! I thought this is great I'll just take this then my phone should be 100% stock and I'll be good to go. Nope that was a bad idea. Now the phone will not respond to anything. Just a flashing charging led. And my battery was 87% when I took the ota. Is this just a paper weight now? Or is there any chance of jumpstarting it? The phone is unlocked, if that makes a difference. I do have a black hat factory adapter, but don't really know what to do with it. Long story short I think I used rsd foolishly and somehow burnt out my GSM radio then bricked my phone. Looks like it's time to order a moto g.

Motorola droid Razr M fixed and working supper

hi

you are the man .

i was having red eye stuck issue on my droid razr m

i did not know the exact version of the mobile as it was my sis cell

i tried all wipe cache and factory reset .. but in vain that dsnt help at all .. still stuck on red eye

then i tryed sevral things but the fixing point was the latest RSD and the kkdd 4-4-2 rom ... i just flashed it with RSD after wiping cache and factory reset ... sucessful .. then my phone booted with ap fast menu .. reason was .. fastboot reason sticky bit factory etc

i used the key combination to boot it normally after 4 minuts my welcome screen appear and cell start working like never before

but the fastboot menu appear on every time i reboot the phone so i used ur method and now my phone is booting normally thanks to you and thanks to Xdadevelopers i wish u good luck guyz nice work thumbs up... u guyz always save us :cool:
[Droid RAZR M General] thedude59:
Thanks for the input. I just declared mine dead and moved on. I've been using this 3rd gen moto g for a week now and no regrets. For a 179$ you can't beat this phone. It may not have the faster computer or whatever, but it is buttery smooth and does everything I need it to do. And battery lasts a day and a half for me. That's streaming pandora, some YouTube and about 5.5 hours of screen time. The razr m was a good one but technology has gotten better and lolipop is so nice.

Bluetooth issues...

I recently successfully rooted my Droid RAZR M using sd_shadow's 2015 method. I unfortunately have the updated KK with the build date of July 29, 2014 and therefore can't unlock my bootloader. I originally had the 182 kernel but using rsd lite I successfully flashed the 183 Luge kernel and gained root. As far as I could tell the phone functioned flawlessly. However that same week I decided to upgrade and gave my Droid RAZR M to my mother. She has no business operating a phone with root access so I un-rooted and flashed the stock Droid RAZR M firmware back to the phone. After doing so I noticed that the kernel version was still the 183 instead of my stock 182 that I had before rooting. I understand that I just flashed a stock RAZR M firmware to it that had the 183 kernel. Like the rest of you I've searched high and low for a way to root and unlock this phone, however I've never come across a stock firmware with the 182 kernel version. Since un-rooting I've had issues with the bluetooth not recognizing other devices while scanning. Yes both devices are visible and the RAZR M's bluetooth comes on, stays on, and functions. Other devices can recognize it when scanning and after they send a pairing request I can successfully connect via bluetooth and successfully reconnect once paired. The only issue is that my RAZR M is not recognizing other devices. Could this be due to the kernel version change? I've tried all the usuals like soft and hard resets, safe mode, reboots, I even reflashed the firmware. I do disable most of the bloatware but have even done factory resets to fix that...any help would be appreciated, the bluetooth was one of the main features my mother was wanting for her headset, this is her first android device so I have to handle all of this lol

I have not tried going back to 183, and I do not use Bluetooth for anything.
[Droid RAZR M General] DAILEY45735:
Sorry I meant to say the Luge firmware, kernel version 185. I don't think the kernel version 182 would download actually. I'll have to get back on your list and try it again. Nonetheless I've got a couple of options now that I really should've thought of, lol, thank you both. I'll post the outcome...
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
182.45.15, 183.45.15, & 186.45.10

Are basically the same system versions

But the way moto/Verizon have been updating, kernel/bootloader can be different.

Normally with moto droids, you can downgrade as long as its the same android version, but with the kernel different there could be radio issues, including Bluetooth.

When you flash firmware (.XML.zip)

It is done in several different parts: bootloader, kernel, recovery, system...

System version is different from kernel version and bootloader version.

It could be helpful if you post current

System version

Kernel version

Build version

Yeah I know the kernel is correct, thank you for the confirmation though. Honestly, since my last post, I've been so busy that I haven't had time to try re-flashing the firmware. I do still plan to though as soon as my schedule opens up a bit. I have however successfully paired a bluetooth headset somehow, so in the meantime my mother is happy lol. I'll post an update as soon as possible as to whether the re-flashing fixes it.

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

Also, thank you for the help and suggestions ( no matter how obvious they should have been to me ). I believe re-flashing the firmware will solve my problem. As I said before though, finding the time and prying the phone from my Facebook/candy crush addicted mother will be the real battle in fixing the issue lol.

downgrade firmware to unlock bootloader?

I am new here, my Moto Razr M is on firmware 183.46.15 with Google security patch update. I tried searching on web but couldn't find any exploit to unlock my boot-loader because of this update , I am not very sure if I am right (because I haven't tested that yet).

If somehow downgrade works for firmware (183.46.15 to 98.15.66 or if it even possible to downgrade 183.46.15) then will the "Motopocalypse" exploit would work?

Hi,

I just found my old XT926 Droid Razr Maxx HD again and saw that I could upgrade to 182.46.10 which is 4.4.2 KitKat.

On previous forums I saw that this was able to be exploited and that I could unlock the bootloader, but the main post of this one says they patched it so it is no longer able to unlock the bootloader.

I've got a bricked droid razr m (xt907). It's stuck at the fastboot screen and won't go to any other screens. I had a problem getting a factory usb cable to connect the phone to the computer.

When I switched to an admin account the computer found the phone and I was able to to flash it using the House of Moto flasher and the 15.1 update of kk. Unfortunately, it failed on every partition.

I'm wondering if it's possible to erase all data on the phone (including the bootloader) using fastboot and then reinstall everything?
