4.1.1 root method not working - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to root the Verizon RAZR M via the motofail2go method but it isn't working. The bat file installed superuser as a system app but I do not have root. Does anyone know of any alternative method to get this thing rooted? I just want to be able to use all my favorite apps on this thing.

Lost my root?

I use my tablet mainly for netflix, fb, games and microsoft word but one day I tried opening Trickster Mod and it said i didnt have root. It was so weird because I did root my tablet but it just disappeared. I was wondering if I should start from the beginning or if theres a way to get my root back?

Download root checker from the play store and verify if it has root.

no need to start at the beginning, you should be able to just root it the same way you did before after unlocking your boatloader

I checked and I no longer have root. Does this mean I lost my ROM too?and kernel?

If you lost your ROM... You would be staring at the Google logo. To root, open up your superuser app (or download from play store) and update su binary from the app. If that doesn't work, you can grab a flashable zip of SuperSU.

If your bootloader and tablet is already unlocked then rerooting should be a breeze. Just use whichever toolkit you previously unlocked it with and get that root back in it. Then install busybox from playstore and check SuperSu the app to see if your permissions are okay.

Why isnt my phone rooting?

I used motochopper.
It rooted and rebooted but when I try to use a root app it wont work.

Love the 90s Good Times.
The way I rooted was to install the oudhs recovery and flash the super user flew in the same post. Recovery asked to fix the auto stock recover reinstall fix. Allowed it and I was rooted.

UCUEMJ6 OTA. Any help requested to root.

I got a used phone. Did not check the version. It has the ucuemj6 firmware. 4.3 update. When I use the new method to root by copying the pwn and the script file to the sd card, Knox and SE kicks in and the permission is denied to the shell. I tried killing various Knox and Se Android processes.
I tried running from adb shell. Again adb is denied permission.
But nothing works.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

This isn't an official version its a leaked version of mj6 the real update won't be out till 11/13/13. There's only one known method to root the device but was deemed not a safe way to root the device. I'll let you figure out the root method just READ and your answer will come.

Thanks. I know what you are talking about. even if I root, the bootloader is locked now right? Can this be unlocked? Any options for mem

Yes correct the bootlaoader has been locked since the mf3 firmware the previous firmware before this...safestrap is a work around that doesn't mess with the stock ROM slot and you are able to flash only 4.2.2 Roms with safestrap. Since your on the LEAKED version on 4.3 there is no other options at the moment besides rooting and the root apps like wanam xposed, xposed installer, nottach xposed. Etc. People on Verizon hasn't found anything yet about unlocking the boot loader so until the official 4.3 releases for us just check both the Verizon thread and our at&t thread.

Its not reccomended on xda but you can root the phone with VRoot but it installs a Chinese superuser into your phone. I've got it running with no problems so if you want to root it you can use the VRoot method

update fail

hello i have the razr m. unlocked not rooted and it is not letting me take the update. i dont undertand why.. has anyone had this same problem? thank you
Install superSU from the app store and see if you still get root access from apps.
It used to happen to me. Apparently the phone was rooted it just didn't have superSU installed.

i tried it still nothing.. it says i have superuser already.. is this the reson i cant do verizon update?
I'm also having issues with the ota update. I'm rooted on 98.18.78 with locked boot loader. It fails about 30% then dead andy. I'm guessing the recovery is broken somehow. But I don't know how to flash the stock recovery if my bootloader is locked.

That's what I'm thinking to. It has a bad recovery. I tried using the old version of the RAZR m utility. But that didn't help at all :/

Don't have root access

I rooted my phone or at least I thought I did, but when I try to use flashing it says I don't have superuser access. I have successfully rooted a galaxy we and a HTC one xl, so I don't consider myself a noob. I guess I am to this device though. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
