Hu, counter?! Can't understand what happens. What happens? Can't understand what you mean...
On what ROM are you? You will need to be in CM7. You don't have to rename it to update.zip
And flash it from custom (or latest) recovery via bootmenu.
P.S. remove imei numbers!
If you can't unlock it with the code, then ask your money back!

[Q]Australian Razr M (Telstra)

Hi guys, massive noob here.
Just a quick question, is there a difference between Motorola Droid Razr M and Motorola Razr M?
After flicking through the forums, wondering whether I should install the leaked JB OTA update, I read several posts stating that our version of the Razr M is equivalent to the Dev versions that are available from Moto themselves.
That being said, is it safe for me to flash the leaked OTA to my phone without any hassles via RSD Lite?
I'm also interested in rooting, but again, I'm not too sure if the root methods available on the forum are compatible with the Australian Razr M's.
Thanks
The ROMs should work, but I'm not sure whether they would flash over the radio or not. It may not even matter for you, since the Droid RAZR M also has GSM, but your LTE probably wouldn't work. There is a way to flash just the radio by itself, so theoretically, you could flash the ROM, then flash the original radio back. I'm not sure about all this, though.
As for rooting, the root method should work just the same for you. However, the best way to root for you would be to unlock the bootloader and just use the Dev Edition root method (http://aosp.us/?p=294).
root method works 100%
DO NOT TOUCH VERIZON JB UPDATE IT WILL BREAK YOUR RADIO
Yes bootloader is unlockable exactly same as dev edition as confirmed by several others on this forum and whirlpool. But unfortunately no ROMS yet lol

[Q] Recent Bootloader Unlock and root access guides

Hello everyone, I'm a brand new member with a couple questions.
I have read many threads here and elsewhere and have recently found two possible sources of information to help me finally unlock my boot loader > backup nandroid > flash cyanogenmod. Profit.
My Droid Razr M has root access. System Version: 98.18.94.XT907.Verizon.en.US / Android JB 4.1.2 / Build Number 9.8.1Q-94
Wen I started, I got used to the idea of staying with JB 4.1.2. It has worked well over the year. And having root and Titanium Backup has given me great power over my phone.
I would like to ask if it is possible to both root and unlock the newer KK 4.4.2 using the these methods I have found and my phone.
First PrankCallPimp youtube guide states I need to flash from JB 4.1.2 to Verizon stock KK 4.4.2 using RSDLite
Second Mr. Blue Coat provides a better stepwise guide outlining root access and unlock procedures, but starting with KK 4.4.2. Very Complete Blog.
I have assembled all of the files these sources suggest to have on hand during the project.
Additional questions. Is PrankCallPimp's method to flash to KK 4.4.2 using VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml files in RSDLite correct? His video cuts out after a while. After flashing KK 4.4.2 the phone will be similar to a factory reset and be susceptible to OTA updates. Currently I use Voodoo OTA to prevent updates. Should I reinstall Voodoo OTA to prevent Verizon pushed updates or go from there to root access and boot loader unlock procedures?
I have never liked following a youtube guide and wonder if there is a printed version I could review before starting. Also I installed RSDLite and my phone can be detected by the program.
I think if Mr. Blue Coats guide is acceptable to everyone, I could follow it with no problems.
What I'm worried about is giving up my currently profitable root access on JB 4.1.2 to go to KK 4.4.2.
It seems that if I really want an unlocked boot loader, I must take KK 4.4.2
If these two guides work, with someone's help, I would be happy to join them into a single clear guide to post here.
I lack the experience most of you have so I'm reaching out with these questions before I even consider going through with this.
Thanks All. Ps. I'm in no hurry.
Read this thoroughly
Thank You
Thank you for the ultrafast help!
There was my answer: 4. RESTORING / UPGRADING STOCK FIRMWARE.
And all the additional tools required for root access and boot loader unlock.

[Q] Unlocking bootloader and rooting HELP

Guys, help me out with my motorola razr m, I couldn't find any way to root my phone and unlock the bootloader. The kernel version is after 3 june and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-m/general/guide-faq-how-to-root-boot-unlock-t2869432 it says it cannot be rooted.
Any other possible method to root my phone, I am desperate to do, Please help me out in this.!!!!!
When people say it's not rootable, it's not rootable for real. Otherwise you'll see people celebrating success. Bear with the fact or try another phone.

questions about root and unlock bootloader

Hi all,
I want to ask to confirm a few things since my experience with android almost came from samsung notes, and I always unlock bootloader and root it right after I get my phones. Thanks in advance.
I bought a moto x pure edition from bh photo recently, and was thinking about unlock bootloader, root and enjoy the some features that need root access and/or customized room.
But I see that the vanilla (manufacturer) rom is very good and the release of OTA updates are relative reliably fast. My questions is
if I unlock bootloader and root, do I still have the OTA capability (I have to ask since I have not explore a lot customized room side of the moto x pure edition)?
if yes, what will happen if the OTA is applied? phone relocked or bootloader unlock and root access as usual?
Thanks
If you unlock bootloader, you will still have OTAs, but, im not sure if you root will still have OTA, i think yes, i think you loose OTAs if you change something in the firmware, but im not sure with the root tbh...

If you are unlocked only, it has zero effect on updates... if you unlocked and modified in anyway (root, TWRP, Xposed, whatever) the update with fail and either get stuck in recovery or bootloop, usually just wiping cache will get it booting again. OTAs cannot be applied unless you are purely stock.
Moto's will not relock the bootloader unless you specifically do it, but really there is no need to ever... other than purely security, there is nothing that can be regained by relocked that was lost in unlocking, including your warranty. Once you have been issues an unlock token, whether it is used or not, your warranty is gone forever.
Also be aware that rooting Moto's on Marshmallow is a bit different than older ways of rooting and requires a few extra steps, do your research on systemless and you won't have any problems.
