Im confused on how to update safe strap to the newest one. I cant flash any of the roms due to the older safe strap. Also how do i unroot my razr m i took of some of the stock apps off so if i unroot will this effect my phone.

I just purchsed a new Razr M with the newest OTA installed. From what I see there is no root or unlocked bootloader, is this correct?

You need to dig a little harder. There is a root process, based off of Motochopper. It's over on Droidrzr.com.

See my stickys
failure to root
I did try this before posting, but assumed there was a problem because it fails.
Where is system.img or system.img.ext4 which says it may help. I am familiar with rooting, but not where to find this.
Question ..i see alot of kit kat roms..what's the most stable 4.4 kit kat ROM ?
CyanogenMod 11 is pretty stable. I flash the nightly's once or twice a month, and I've never had a problem. Battery life is decent and everything seems to work.

For me PAC-rom is very very stable. Battery life better than in CM11, Carbon, Gummy. And PAC-rom is more customizable than every ROM i've tryed for RAZR M.

You can flash custom ROM on your locked bootloader phone with SafeStrap recovery. Some people says that perfomance wouldn't be like if you flash it with normal custom recovery(i.e. CWM or TWRP), but i never noticed that. Of course, you need to root your phone to use SS recovery.

But none of the newer custom ROMs (Android 4.2+) work with SafeStrap, mind you.

Andy is correct, you can't flash just any ROM with SS. In fact, there are very few SS compatible ROMs out there right now. When or if they release the 4.4 OTA, I'm pretty sure there will a plethora of stock and aftermarket ROMs made available for SS.
So, I got this phone and it's running 4.1.2 (System version 98.18.78.XT907.Verizon.en.US) and I wanted to upgrade to KitKat but when I check for updates it says it's already up to date. What do I need to do to get the KitKat update?

Thanks! It worked
Even with locked bootloader?
Can I do the update to KitKat with a locked BL? I'm on the same 98.18.78 as the op and I have root on my otherwise stock 4.1.2 JB xt907.

yes you can update with locked bootloader, you can not downgrade with locked bootloader.
see [GUIDE][FAQ][KK] How to Root, Boot Unlock & More
I believe best option is flash VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_1FF.xml.zip with RSD Lite then unlock bootloader
do not use VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml it can not be unlocked at this time
WORKING!!! Thanks y'all!

Flashed VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_1FF.xml.zip with RSD Lite; file 15 which was system.img didn't want to load & kept telling me "fail" but I did NOT exit the Fastboot mode (don't like expensive bricks), I just kept trying until it worked on a different USB port.
Got root via towelroot.apk & then unlocked bootloader using motoapocalypse.apk.
Install TWRP recovery from http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/51942-recoverytwrp-2800/
Installed my apps & made a backup.
Works like a charm; thanks!

Thank you for updating to the unlockable version and taking advantage of it. Too many people ignore the warnings that .15 is not unlockable and beg for an unlock... Not gonna happen! Happy Flashing!

Good afternoon everyone , I am Brazilian and forgive my English gloogle translator. But yesterday wanted to install a custom rom on my phone (Motorola Razr M KitKat 4.4.2 ) , I did root it and installed an app called flashfly to flash a recovery , it rebooted and tried everything as you can imagine and not know what else to try. Here is a sense of how it is :
AP Flashboot Flash Mode (S)
10.9B(*) (sha-61146a2, 2014-07-09 06:20:44)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device is LOCKED Status Code 0
Battery OK
Tranfer Mode:
Usb Connected
Failed to hab check for boot: 0 x56
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure
usb connected
Please help me have this phone to 4 days :crying:
You can't install a recovery on a locked bootloader. You might need to reflash firmware to clear the boot failure.

What system version are you on? If it ends in .15, you cannot unlock the bootloader. If it ends in .10, root using TowelRoot and unlock with the Motopocalypse app.

No, you cannot downgrade a locked bootloader. You are stuck.
