It Uses combination of several hacks giefroot, Towelroot, flashing an older Kernel over the Stock recovery...

This does not unlock the bootloader,

there is no practical way to unlock the bootloader once the kernel /bootloader is newer than June 3, 2014 (July 29)

There is no custom Recovery without an Unlocked Bootloader, no custom Recovery, no Custom Roms

So stop asking

Toubleshooting

rooting Error:If you see this error

"error more than one device and emulator found"

"-waiting for your device-"

"error: protocol fault (status read)"

try on PC

adb kill-server

adb devices

or

on device toggle ADB debugging OFF/ON﻿

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

If you see errors at the beginning

like apk already installed

that is fine.

if root stops at or just after

" "Starting: Intent { cmp=org.keenteam/.ServiceExploitActivity } "

Disconnect USB cable, Power off Phone, Hold Volume Down Button, Press Power for ~5 secs, Release Power button, then release Volume Button.

When you see AP Fastboot Mode, reconnect usb cable

if it fails to continue within a min or so, restart Phone and Root.bat

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

If Rooting fails try

So after factory reset several times, now will try to flash but does not look too easy.

[Droid RAZR M General] patt2k:
so using this firmware: VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml will work with luge to downgrade it shadow?
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
I would try rooting with current version first

This was the first thing I tried was towelroot ,should I try hydrogen first? if it will fail can you recommend which firmware file to download?

I believe others have flashed 183.46.15 success fully, but I would have to go back and search...
[Droid RAZR M General] patt2k:
Alright when you have done just tag me or something would apperciate it :D need to root 2 of these bad boyz.
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
I would factory reset first, and retry root
[Droid RAZR M General] patt2k:
Sorry forgot to mention I first tried towelroot then your app,after rebooting the phone it did not load adb again to continue the script I meant the script was running but the phone didn't get detected again in your app.

I will do factory reset in few minutes like you suggested.

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] this from your site is good for flashing to luge? VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
Not sure.
[Droid RAZR M General] patt2k:
it looks like downgrade went fine however for some reason I can't get it to roam with my sim card from Poland it either roams on AT&T or T-Mobile I saw some people saying they unlocked it as well for USE here in US what are the steps towards it do you know? sry for bothering you so much lol

I also saw your script trying to write recovery with locked bootloader this should fail.. weird
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
I think the usual option is to use this

[PATCH][GUIDE] Patch to fully enable GSM on Verizon CDMA Android phones by Mentor.37

But you need a custom Recovery to install

There is a custom Recovery that can be installed but it's not fully compatible, not sure if the patch will install correctly or not.
[Droid RAZR M General] patt2k:
Root worked! I got towelroot to work awesome. So how are these other people getting this to work without custom recovery.. I owe you a beer sir.. for your time seriously. What I meant is how they did the sim unlock without custom recovery.. or I should not worry about it not picking up roaming because it is supposed to be sim unlocked so in Europe it should be ok?

it appears to be installed,installed recovery,selected reboot to recovery but after few seconds it just reboots and android starts booting. Well at least I have root.

the phone has the global/lte-cdma/gsm menu but it will not pull up roaming this way I could know for sure everything works fine.

EDIT: after re-installing weird looking recovery loaded!

another option is [HowTo] [VZW XT907/926 RAZR M/HD] Unlock US GSM Carriers Using RadioComm

[Droid RAZR M General] patt2k:
I think the patch somehow makes the phone go into LTE/CDMA with gsm sim inserted. I am gonna leave this for tonight lol. I guess if everyone says it works outside USA with no issues then it should be ok.

It shouldn't cause any issues that I flashed Moto M firmware right? I don't see anything different everything seems to be the same.
[Droid RAZR M General] SublimeFoxTheater:
I messed up my phone and had to reflash but it failed every time.

Don't know if it's mentioned here but the way I finally got it to work was uninstalled rsd lite and installed a newer version.

Version 6.1.6 seems to work but earlier ones failed every time.

Thanks to sd_shadow and hydrogen peroxode guy my phone is recovered, rooted, and good to go this weekend.

Great work guys, I love this phone but having root makes it a million times better.
[Droid RAZR M General] patt2k:
you have M or Luge? did you flash "M" Firmware if you have Luge? I did on one of these and will be doing it now on second one.
[Droid RAZR M General] SublimeFoxTheater:
I have an m and flashed the luge image to it.

It has much faster and quieter boot animation and more modern icons.
[Droid RAZR M General] patt2k:
Lolz well that is something I wouldn't expect anyone to do :D so if I flashed M firmware onto Luge it shouldn't make any difference? you think?

I am going to Europe and giving these 2 as a gift (luge rooted w/moto m firmware)

The thing I can't figure out is why it won't roam using my international sims from Poland (my note4 roams on AT&T or T-Mobile with Polish sim card)

Could it be because AT&T and T-Mobile are supposed to be blocked on this phone?
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
Which FXZ are you calling the Luge firmware,?all I can find are M

183.45.15 - VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml

183.45.15 - VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml

183.45.10 - .VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml
[Droid RAZR M General] SublimeFoxTheater:
The third one, xml file said prepaid so that's why I thought it was the luge firmware.
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
Where does it say prepaid?
[Droid RAZR M General] SublimeFoxTheater:
I dunno I have since deleted it but here is a screenshot of my "about phone" now that I have flashed:

My phone was a Razr M purchased through a contract in 2012 before the Luge renaming, but now it says Luge, has modern camera icon instead of rangefinder one, and stock background and boot animation are much different. So are the sounds.
[Droid RAZR M General] patt2k:
Lol you flashed firmware that is not rootable this is the firmware I came from on the luge lmao. Care to share which files you flashed? or if you did root then tell me how because on this firmware I could not(either way tell me which files you used) :D
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
The Luge firmware is rootable, several have reported that Hydrogen root works, but for some reason Hydrogen fails with some devices M and Luge alike, the fix is to wipe data and/or flash firmware.

flashing the Luge firmware on a Luge would be prefered, but I was unaware that the Luge firmware was available.

Motorola does not normally make their firmware available to the public, but Motorola Firmware servers have been searchable for several years, by some clever hackers, who then share their finds with us.
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
Do you remember what site you downloaded it from?
[Droid RAZR M General] patt2k:
Yea it makes sence but with my luges they would get stuck on recovery with your script so I had to flash M firmware,which is fine as long as it works. Like you saw previous pics it just won't boot to recovery at all (stuck on that red triangle) but because of you also I know how to proper reset with RSDlite so it's all good.

Inside the 2 luges there were Verizon prepaid sims not activated and they pick up signal right away so I know that sim functionalty works just fine and should be good in Europe, if anything goes wrong I can contact you when I am in Europe before i give them away? cheers!

Rooting 185.45.10 (Luge)

I may make a separate thread for this later.

I do not have a Luge, so I have not tested this.

Rooting the Luge should work just as good as the Razr M

Which means factory reset and/or flashing firmware may be necessary, like the Razr M.

Try my modified Hydrogen_PEROXIDE_1_0_0_5.For.Luge.185.45.10

Only thing I changed is the recovery.img which seems to be different from the M.

watch my video in post #1

Or you can use the original Hydrogen_PEROXIDE_1_0_0_5

If the Stock recovery does not work after rooting.

Then flash the recovery.img with mfastboot.exe

For Razr Luge not M

again I don't have a Luge so this may not be quite right.

Testing

I flashed the Luge system.img to my Razr M

now I have

System version : 185.45.10 .XT907.Verizon.en.US

Model Number: Luge

Build Number: KPA20.10.1

Build date: Mon Aug 25 12:42:20 PDT 2014

the rest is unchanged.

Then I tested my Hydrogen_PEROXIDE_1_0_0_5.For.Luge.185.45.10.rar

Rooted fine, tested Luge recovery with a wipe cache, and that went fine.

I watched the video on YouTube and strangely as I was doing the entire process it was in sync with the video. Anyways, I have root and it works great. Only thing that I had to do differently was that I had to install SuperSU to get root checker to work (which is strange). But I later found out that it was optional and that I could've waited until the phone was completely rooted as SuperSU would be installed automatically. Oh well, live and learn lol

Could be a few different things

what is the current system version and kernel name/date?

what does it say on AP Fastboot screen, complete text?

you tried re-downloading root.rar file?

you have extracted files from .rar?

try flashing the kernel with fastboot.exe

open Hydrogen_PEROXIDE_1_0_0_5/Files folder

Copy fastboot.exe, adb.exe, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, and root.img

to a new folder in c drive named root so location is c:\root

Open a Command Prompt (start>all programs>accessories>Command prompt)

change directory to root folder with

cd\root

then

fastboot flash recovery root.img

fastboot reboot

then run the install_root.bat again
