[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seattle3D:
Hello,

I am unable to root this dang phone! Trying to use RootJunky's "RSD Lite for Mac and Linux" instructions found here: ww.rootjunky.com/tag/linux, and just failing! I've got two phones now stuck in "Please wait, this may take a few minutes" mode.

Computer Specs:

Ubuntu 16.04

Phone Specs:

DROID RAZR HD

182.46.15.XT926.Verizon.en.US

4.4.2

VANQUISH_BP_100731.020.64.21P

KDA20.62-15

Steps:

Downloaded RSD-Lite-Mac_Linux.zip from ttp://rootjunkysdl.com/files/Android%20Programs/RSD-Lite-Mac-Linux.zip

unzip to a folder

Downloaded VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip from AndroidFileHost.com (Motorola-Firmware-Team)

unzip to same folder

Open terminal

cd to folder

run `sudo ./rsd-flash.sh VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml`

At first this would not get past the first file in the .xml. I had an MD5 error. After fiddling with it for hours I discovered that I needed to change all the MD5's in the .xml to lower case! Ok. Did that. Which got me through the flash, but with MANY ERRORS.

user5@system:~/Documents/projects/droid/razr_hd/RSD-Lite-Mac-Linux$ sudo bash rsd-flash.sh VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml
