bootloader unlock
At the moment you can not unlock the bootloader... you can root it...and from the reading up on it I did it doesn't look like the unlock will come soon either... I went through the same thing I feel for you ... best of luck...

Hmm...
So is it just the RAZR M XT907 that got this update? Or did the XT926 get the same thing? My thread I linked was for both, though I only had an XT926 to play with but as with all phones I unlock for customers I check for the most recent updates on the phone and I wasnt notified of any. I'm leaving the thread up because its useful to those who haven't taken it for the XT907, but could it go void because of the inability to downgrade the bootloader yet?

yes, you can reroot. since your bootloader is already unlocked, I'm assuming you have a custom recovery installed (TWRP or CWM)? if so, then you can flash supersu (search for it on XDA) via recovery.

Droid Razr M XT 907 (4.1.2 Build 9.8.1Q-66). I have root acces and cant unlock bootloader due to the latest update. So my question is can I install any rom on this particular "locked" phone?

No you can't. With a locked bootloader you can't just flash anything. However, you can use SafeStrap, after rooting, and flash some of older SafeStrap ROMs.

If you are locked why do you have that build?
Also the newest stock deodexed is a good SS rom.

One cannot tell by the ss if you are on the previous build or the
new. Is that the result of the root method work around?
And you have not yet voodoo'ed & taken the ota?
Maybe the ota is not used in the final step to ...78.
Edit or whatever the next step is?

i did not even check just side loaded it right after the update after reflashing twrp
OK. I updated, root was retained. No need to side load it back. I didn't remove xposed first, I DID however turn off the modules. Everything is fine, turned mods back on and rebooted, still fine.

So even in the international versions the bootloader cannot be unlocked? I thought it was only the US versions where the bootloaders would be locked down.
Can custom ROMs not be flashed through ODIN? I really just want to get away from TouchWiz.
Edit: Am I correct in assuming that you dont get OTA updates while rooted? If so how would it be possible to update the OS if I cannot flash ROMs?
Are you on the enxyos version?

We wouldn't know for sure. You have a different processor and different firmware to include an unlockable firmware.
You're posting in a SPRINT forum where almost all members don't have an unlockable bootloader therefor don't have any experience achieving what you're seeking.
Thus, you'd be better off posting your inquiry in a thread for your device, not ours.
But your bootloader should already be unlocked.
Just flash the TWRP recovery just like you did when you rooted. Shouldn't be that difficult.
Does this means that "Link2SD" can't be fully used on S7 (G935F)?
because I get the infamous "/data/sdext2 mount not found" error and for what i have googled, is because of a protected /system folder...
Am i right?

Nope... Unless you want a brick. None of the one-click methods will work and there have been instances of bricking.
Rooting is only possible by unlocking the bootloader and flashing a systemless root (SuperSU) manually with TWRP.

Welcome to XDA!!
To install custom ROM, you will need to have a S-OFFed device to do so. S-OFFing need hardware tools, and it cost money. XTC2Clip and FireWater are the two known S-OFF tools that work on D820 for now.

If so, why dont you ask that guy from The Mainland forum, he should be the most well known of his own ROM.
Afaik, without S-OFF you can hardly do any modification to the system.

Yes, you can search the web with your phone's CID and download the corresponding fw, after that rename the zip according to your phone MID, and place it onto your external SD Card, then boot into bootloader. The fw should be automatically flashed then.
