Towelroot: This device isn't supported currently

Hello! Please help me to root my XT907. I followed all the instructions carefully, I opened towelroot after the message on command prompt " Please open towelroot on your device, get root and press any key when you be" . But I got the error says that "This device isn't supported currently". I tried this more than 4 times but I got the same message by towel root. Moreover I'm seeing an error in SuperSU that binary is not installed.

Help me please.

Hi. Did you try to flash RSD firmware that I suggested to you?

aichauhan

There is a tricky chain of steps, and if one and only is missed, the whole thing screws up ( Try RSD too, please.

[Video] ROOT for Droid Razr M XT907- 183.46.15 (edited)

added the last step, that i skipped in earlier video

Finally got root!

Tried every version posted in this thread, and failed.

Tried factory reset, tried rooting again, and failed.

Tried VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml, and got rsd lite error, unknown command

Tried VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml and flashed without errors

ran install_root.bat again, and success.

Downgraded my July kernel date to May 1st

until last step then kernel is Jul 2014 again

system still 183.46.15.XT907

Build date still Tue Jul 29 05:55:21 PDT 2014

during every reboot I disconnected USB cable from PC (may not matter)

kept in Airplane mode till i used towelroot app, turned on wifi just before using towelroot.

Could you give me a link for the may 1 kernel please?
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
The root utility in this thread, flashes the old kernel as part of the root process
[Droid RAZR M General] hazam1992:
So, theoretically, if my firmware is 185.46.10 and the kernel is downgraded to may 1, then I can unlock my bootloader with motopocalypse?
[Droid RAZR M General] thewraith420:
No.. The bootloader exploit is in the tz partition and currently the old exploit is patched. What it does do is allow towelroot to root the device.
[Droid RAZR M General] Moondroid:
The 'threat' (re my post #84, pg 9) was coming from towelroot (tr.apk).

[Droid RAZR M General] thewraith420:
I'm already unlocked since the original kk release but I've been following this thread for a while now. I believe if it actually enters recovery b4 towelroot then something has already gone wrong. It was my understanding that the stock recovery is being erased and flashed with the .10 kernel. So booting to recovery should just boot normally but with the exploitable kernel. If an actual recovery shows up there's no way towelroot can work because you're still on the newer patched kernel.
[Droid RAZR M General] Moondroid:
I have questions, about the bat file (2 versions, one in the root.rar and a modified version in the Hydrogen Peroxide zip file [the separate download, not the one in root.rar]) and also about the final result (kernel date). But First:

Awesome, Mega-Thanks. (Sometimes a visual is worth a ton of talk.)

These are the detailed steps I gleaned from your video:

... color-coded for phone vs PC action

... your Connect/Disconnect steps colored gray (as in "optional"?)

--------------------------------------------------------------

Factory reset

Set up Wifi (but put in Airplane mode)

In Settings > About phone:

... enable Developer Options (Tap Build number)

... allow USB Debugging

... allow Mock Location

Delay sleep

(Turn off Lock?)

Connect Phone to PC

Download root.rar

Extract root.rar file

Open root folder

Phone is booted to Normal

Run Install_root.bat

Failure?

Stop bat file (click the X to close cmd window)

Rerun bat

Success?

Phone will reboot

Airplane mode

[Disconnect from PC]

Phone will reboot to Normal

Airplane mode

[Reconnect]

Phone will reboot to Fastboot

In bat process:

.. Runs Recovery(??)

.. sending recovery...

.. writing recovery...

.. okay

.. finished

Phone will reboot to Normal

[Disconnect]

Phone boots to Normal

[Reconnect]

Reboots to Recovery (No??)

Phone Reboots to Normal (bat still running)

Phone will Fastboot

Device found

ph) "Please open Towelroot on your device..."

Kernel version changed? (older date)

Apps Drawer > Towelroot (inverted Y)

Enable Wifi

Tap "make it ra1n"

Root? (success?)

Confirm with a root checker

(Re)Install Root checker (allow unknown)

Confirm root.

===================================

(EDIT, this is not in the video)

If root fails:

Use RSD Lite to flash an FXZ

Try Install_root.bat again.

But probably most importantly, my first question:

There are two versions of install_root.bat. The one in the Hydrogen Peroxide zip adds this line in the first pushes after 'echo sending files':

adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip /data/local/tmp/SuperSU.zip

And then near the end (right after adb uninstall org.keenteam):

adb install supersu.apk

adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/a"

adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/systemrw.sh"

adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/getroot"

adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/giefroot"

adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/wp_mod.ko"

adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/modulecrcpatch"

adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/installsupersu.sh"

adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/SuperSU.zip"

adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/memfile"

But sd_shadow, you used the one from root.rar and it worked? ...

But you now have the older kernel version permanently installed?

But...

hazam1992, your rooted Luge still shows your original kernel date?

So my two questions are:

1. Why two different versions of Install_root.bat? Which is the ideal intent?

2. Is it expected that the Kernel version should be permanently swapped, or not?

Anyone?
[Droid RAZR M General] hrrhacker:
Thank you All !!!

You helped me I have rooted my device..

The method I used:

Flashed firmware manually by fastboot command method instead of rsd lite because rsd lite cannot recognised my device in Ap fastboot mode.

After flash system version changed from 182.46.15 to 183.46.15

Screenshot:
[Droid RAZR M General] k3nny2k:
Dunno why there are 2 links in OP, but the latest version of root method is 1.0.5. It is first link in OP. It was most often confirmed working.

No, Kernel is swapped temporary, instead of stock recovery. Thats why there is a step 'reboot to recovery' , if all is ok the phone boots with vulnerable kernel and we can root it. After all procedures we put recovery back.
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
My video does not show the last step

Reflashing the recovery

Now my phone shows Jul kernel
[Droid RAZR M General] Moondroid:
Thank you hrrhacker for the screenshot. And this furthers my question, which (I'm just guessing) just might be the difference in whether a phone may brick or not when trying to Unlock...

We now have 2 or 3 examples each, where the Kernel version is permanently changed, and/or system version changes, or not.

But...

And...

(Didn't mean to misrepresent your video contents)

Aha. The bolded parts. That explains all "differences" in final results (screenshots), right?
[Droid RAZR M General] hrrhacker:
When flashed the firmware system version changed from 182 to 183 ..

Confirmed Root Working on Locked Bootloader

Tried it and worked flawlessly in just one attempt. Phone rebooted a couple of times and had to disconnect and reconnect the phone with PC after reboot to enlist the device in the exploit.:victory:

I have attached some screenshots to confirm it's working.

My Phone Details

Verizon 183.46.15 KK 4.4.2 build date July 2014

Bootloader is LOCKED!

Furthermore, the update SU Binary prompt shows up everytime I launch but it's easy to bypass and dosen't affects the root.

Update SU Binary Installed Successfully in Normal Mode. No Bootloop and Root Problems.

The exploit simply works by flashing a recovery with a kernel date before July 2014 and then automatically reflashes the original if root is successful. But still, how it is able to flash recovery if bootloader is unlocked??? I am new to such things and would appreciate some details. Now I know how it works. The exploit flashes a signed kernel update which the locked BL recognizes and thus opens the gate for the exploit to flash the update.

Tinkering:p

Installed Xposed Framework. Works Great!

Wished if

A Bootloader unlock method existed... I desperately want to flash a Lollipop Rom :D

Can you please help me rooting my droid razr m, 182,46,15 i want cyanogenmod 12 on my phone..
[Droid RAZR M General] 0rtli:
You cannot flash CM 12 until bootloader is locked. This method only gives you root permission, not unlocking the bootloader yet.
[Droid RAZR M General] k3nny2k:
Even with root you cannot install cyanogen.

It requires unlocked BL which is impossible for now on .15

For getting root you should read a few previous pages and of course OP.
[Droid RAZR M General] Jexojahanzeb:
how to check

How do I check whether my bootloader is locked or unlocked. What if my boot loader is locked, can I revert it back tojelly bwana and start that process all over again?
[Droid RAZR M General] xKroniK13x:
Boot into fast boot and it will tell you status code. Status code 3, unlocked means you are unlocked. Anything else for the most part is locked. You cannot downgrade on a locked bootloader.

[Droid RAZR M General] hrrhacker:

[Droid RAZR M General] xKroniK13x:
No, as the stock recovery has signed code from Motorola. Locked BL checks for that signature and if it isn't there, it refuses to flash.

It was not a clean process though because at the end of the process, it told me it was out of memory????, now the towelroot app and the "CVE-2014-7911" is still present in my app drawer. I also cant factory reset from the phone itself.

Still waiting to unlock bootloader Newssss hahaha any one have a bad news or good
[Droid RAZR M General] xKroniK13x:
It probably is not possible. There were only a few versions unlockable and that was due to a exploitable TZ partition. It has since been patched and likely won't be exploitable again, at least in the near future. This was warned before the .15 update came out that it would be fixed, but I hope for those on the Luge that an unlock happens, but I wouldn't get my hopes up... Root is surprising enough, honestly.

Sent from my RAZR M on BlissPop Lollipop 5.0.2 from Tapatalk
[Droid RAZR M General] rahimali:
I do agree. Once rooted and debloated, the stock ROM is surprisingly acceptable so even if the bootloader can't be unlocked, root should be good enough for most...

(I say this from experience since while I'm unlocked and on a custom ROM, my wife is very happy with stock KK even though her RAZR M is unlocked as well...) :)
[Droid RAZR M General] hrrhacker:
I bought it a month ago in that .15 was not aware of it
[Droid RAZR M General] Guapo613:
I agree, the debloated, stock ROM is great!!. I was previously using Debloater by Gatesjunior and it worked awesome but rooting the RAZR M and being able to remove bloatware thus saving a few more MB's of the stock, 8 GB ROM is priceless :)

EDIT: Does anybody know if you can use Safestrap or CWM recovery so as to make a backup of the stock ROM??
[Droid RAZR M General] hazam1992:
There's talk of new bootloader unlock method over on 4pda.

But they're testing it extensively to avoid any chance of bricking peoples phones.

Just cross your fingers and wait.... Hopefully there'll be a new exploit soon....

[MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION]

How should writing logfiles be handled now?

Previously using the Xposed log was not okay, but now permissions are missing... SELinuxHelper.getAppDataFileService() allows only to read files.

So could you add something to write files? Or whats the best way?

:confused:
[Xposed General] rovo89:
I don't know what's the best way yet... maybe the services could learn to write files as well, but it will be quite some effort. An alternative might be logcat. I could also imagine adding more APIs to write something to the Xposed log with a special prefix (e.g. your module's package name) that the installer could then handle better. But for now, I don't really have a good answer to that question.
[Xposed General] defim:
In case you add file writing, rename and delete would be also usefull.

With these the oldest logfile could delete at startup and then current "rotated"/renamed to something like "old"
