I got a Droid Razr M for an upgrade, Worked great so i rooted it, Still worked great all that day, then i went to sleep and when i woke and the WiFi would not work!
The toggle switch turned a darker gray, When i tap it it turns on then in a split second turns back off.
I have done a Factory Data Reset and then i did a hard reset and then i wiped the hole thing out and re flashed it to its original state. Still would not work!
So as a last resort contact Motorola for support and they tell me that i had rooted my device and there is nothing they can do. I didn't say anything about rooting it so they must be logging all users data. (Invasion of Privacy?)
So i am back here again, Not being able to use WiFi, On a 2GB/M plan. f%$king peace of $#!+.
Nothing else is bad! Its just the wifi!?

It is probably your fault. A broken radio is your burden why do you think they do not want you rooting? The radio partition can get borked very easily. You need to renew it.
Do my restore. See my signature

There is a lot of verbal running on there but few steps. Read the rsd tutorial & get rsd to see the phone while you have the phone in bootloader - fastboot. Then stop & check in here again....

Ok, SaturnsVoid... so, first, sorry to hear about the problem. Motorola/VZ is giving you BS... rooting won't break your WiFi unless you did something or installed something that would...
What's your current system version?
Have you taken any OTAs since you had it? If not, you may still be able to unlock.
Also, may want to try using WiFi Connection Fixer on the Play Store (requires root...)
If those don't work, try PMing me... I can help you work it out...
Hey guys so i fallowed the root method "Motofail" from a thread that said it unlocked the bootloader... well it didnt so when i used safestrap to flash cm11 it rebooted into fastboot and i have no unlocked bootloader... is it possible to get out of this? even if reverting to stock? please Get back to me fast if you can since this is not my phone and would like to fix it rather quickly P.S i found a new method for unlocking my bootloader called "Motocolapse" so if my phone is operationable i can do it now... its just a matter of i tried flashing cm11 and when i did a system reboot it only goes to fastboot please respond any way to fix!

Well, it looks like Android is pawning you.
Motofail was the root exploit for the 4.1.1 version and it didn't unlock the bootloader. Motopocalypse was the only method to unlock the BL and, according the date you posted from your fastboot screen, you're on the May OTA that blocks the BL unlock. You really need to stop using random tools and start reading before you do something. Also, you can't flash CM11 with SS. Utility 1.20 is the correct utility to use for your system version. Are you sure you're using the 1.20 Utility? That's the only reason I can see that you're getting the fail. Did you try to flash the newer OTA at any point?

Don't take it personally, it's just a little bit of sarcasm. I know it can get lost through the internet.
With that being said. I reread thread and saw that date again. Utility 1.20 was for the OTA prior to that, so that's why you're probably running into issues. Sorry, you can slap me because I told you wrong in the post after yours where you talked about using 1.20. Matt never updated a utility to reflect the newest OTA. As for CM11, it specifically states on the CM website that you need an unlocked bootloader:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Xt907_Info
CM was designed for SS on the Razr because the Razr never had an unlockable BL:

Problem was using utility 1.20. It was designed for the OTA in April. His FB screen says he took the OTA in May. Do you have the FXZ for .78 or .1 somewhere? I'm not on my home computer, otherwise I would look. I think he needs to RSD to save this.

Hey man i see you bricked your phone no worries i'll help you out i've done it myself.
so you're going to need
motorola drivers
RSD lite lastest version
4.1.2 xml file for razr m ( just google search it)
and patience
ok so
I guess you know how to put your razr m in fastboot mood if not you power your device off and hold the power , vol - and sorta click it multple times. until it brings you to the screen. then you should be able to run rsd lite and flash the 4.1.2 xml file would could be found with a single google search. so flashing firmware is pretty easy.. it should be a breeze. after that just leave your phone as it is. motorola will be releasing the 4.4 update swoon hopefully so i would just wait.
hope this was semi helpful

Someone quoted me but for you.
WARNING: You REALLY need to UNDERSTAND and read EVERYTHING or you MAY brick your phone!
IF YOU HAVE NOT UNLOCKED, THIS BUILD WILL PERMANENTLY PREVENT YOU FROM DOING SO. STOP NOW and GO UNLOCK!
Purpose of this thread:
To get you, the locked or unlocked RAZR HD xt926 owner, from any version to 4.4.2 (KDA20.62-15.1).
Things you will need:
FXZ KDA20.62-15.1 thanks @stras1234 as always!
Instructions:
Use the RSD Flasher with KEEP DATA to flash this on your phone with RSD.
OR
Use the House of Moto with KEEP DATA to flash this to your phone with fastboot.
OR
Use RSD Lite to flash it, but, you will lose data unless you modify the XML file manually.
This will get you a clean OTA install. You will lose root.
Thanks, I was looking for the fxz.
Guess I am a n00b how do you flash this?

I flashed the fxz, but it now says my Android version is 4.4, not 4.4.2. Is there a reason for the downgrade The System version is now '19.5.3.obake_verizon.Verizon.ens.US'. Thanks.
Um what? That system version is for a Droid maxx. This FXZ is for the razr hd. There is no possible way you flashed this FXZ on a razr hd and ended up with what you're saying.

Take a look at it yourself.
That didn't come from this FXZ. What, EXACTLY, did you flash?
I flashed 'VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml' using your utility with the KEEP DATA option.
I don't know what to say. I for sure didn't hunt around for a Maxx fxz and I certainly don't have a copy of one sitting around on my PC. I downloaded the .zip you posted above and used your utility to flash it. Afterwards I flashed dhacker's CWM (v6.0.4.9) and SU (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip). That is it. I did nothing else.
that screen shot made me lol
other than the obvious, correct phone, wrong version, the build date is funny too.
how the f did that even boot lol
---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------
im working on flashing this now to verify the file and will report back soon.
I've already had someone verify the FXZ in my download link and send me a screen shot of it. It doesn't look like yours so I really don't know what to tell you. There is no way possible that the FXZ I posted has anything that shows obake in it as that's a COMPLETELY different device. This is the xt926 RAZR HD and RAZR HD MAXX. It's not the Droid Maxx which is what the screen shot you posted shows. Post a copy of your swdl.txt file from the RSD flash. You'll find it in your RSD install folder.

That's nice. Doesn't give me the information I asked for.

Telling me what's in the screen shot doesn't really solve the problem. I can make that screen shot say anything I want. Doesn't mean the information is accurate.

Chillax. I am not by my PC. I will post it once I get home.
So I just came across this tweet from droidx - https://youtu.be/QicDqTKb_sU supposedly this root method will work with any android phone 5.1.1 or lower. Lots of caution needed here due to the origin and amount of permissions needed, but he did show it rooting a Verizon note 4. I have the apk but haven't tried it as I'm using a prerooted image and haven't flashed back to stock.
http://www.kingroot.net
UPDATED INFO (5/13/15)
1) English version is available here through XDA (LINK);
2) This is a temporary root that doesn't survive a reboot (this is due to write protection); and
3) A permanent root solution (for the Note 4) is being worked on off of XDA (due to some thread circumstances) (reference is here).
Right now there is no word of anyone working on a Droid Turbo permanent root solution.
New perma-root discussion for the Note 4 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60713495
Update (5/18/15)
1) There is a new script out that will delete kinguser and install supersu instead! The link is here. Keep in mind that this script will need to be modified for our device, but according to the script authors it should be applicable.
2) It has been recommended to soft reboot the device using this app from the play store. There are a million of these type of apps available, but this one is being used on the Note 4 side.

Download the version directly from their website. I'm going to remove the English site link.
The official version doesn't have that issue.

I just read a ton of the note 4 thread, and many people had to try a few times to get it to work. Supposedly this is just a temp root method on devices with write protection. If you do get root, try a reboot and see if it sticks.
I'm not sure if this method in it's current form gets us anything over what we have now but it could lead to more.

I've heard enabling allow mock locations might be necessary.
They are working on a perm method but nothing yet. This is very interesting.
FYI this doesn't install SuperSU or let it be installed.
Yeah, temp root. No write permissions.

I confirm doesn't survive reboot also
So what's the point if write protection is still on?
I don't believe this kind of sites
tried the app and the pc app method.. both didtn work for the droid turbo. now im thinking they stole some info.
I have a SM-G935U that I bought from BestBuy some time ago and I was wondering if there is a root for it. The carrier versions have a root, but I don't know much about the unlocked.
Did u find out? I thought the answer was a firm no since the bootloader is locked but I also really don't know what I'm talking about.

No, I never found out. I kind of just let it go. It's like people don't know the unlocked US Snapdragon version exists. Like how we got the Nougat update slower than all the other variants.
Check out the url I posted above. I guess you can now! And it seems really easy. (famous last words.)
Buried on like page 69 are even better instructions apparently. Here's a screenshot of what dude said to him to do.
