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.

Will XT907 ROMS work on XT905?

Hi guys,
I'm thinking of getting a RAZR M and since I'm in Australia, I just want to know if XT907 roms like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735565 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735587 will work on the Australian version of the RAZR M.
I've seen this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329570 but it doesn't really say much about Cyanogenmod.
Thanks, any reply will be appreciated
DrShellgon:fingers-crossed:

There's already a thread here.

Do you know any stable CM roms? Preferably 10.1, 10.2 and 11
Thanks
DrShellgon :fingers-crossed:

You just have to look at CM's own site. The older CM10 builds are obsoleted now, the newer CM11 ROMs are here. Since most of the CM versions have never been really "stable", there's no "stable" and "RC" labels anymore, just "Nightly" and "M Snapshot". The latest Snapshot "M7" was just released yesterday.

Oh haha thanks so M Snapshot is the best to use for daily use right?

xt905 brick
when i update The latest Snapshot "M7" cm 11.it brick my xt905..
but it is my good luck that i have backup of my rom so i restore it..
some one try it ???

Not sure about this, since I don't have an XT905. Did you follow the instructions?
Did M6 work for you? Or what version did you update from?

If you're going for CM11, yes.

when i try cm 11 M7 and M6 booth file after wipe data/factory reset. install zip from sdcard these error appear
in both file
this package for xt925 xt926 xt 907vanquish_u,vanquish.scorpion mini,mb866,qinarz.asanti.asanti_c,
xt897,xt897c"devices:this is scorpion_mini_u".
e:error in /sdcard/cm11 cm-11-20140505-SNAPSHOT-M6-moto_msm8960.zip (status 7) installation aborted..

Then it seems to be a problem with the recovery.
Do you have the latest CWM (right now it's 6.0.4.4)?

Try CarbonROM, really good kitkat rom in my opinion

and as for this error you will have to add xt905 in it or remove getvar lines. google it . (not confirm. just came in my mind)

Is it possible to update to Cyanogenmod if your Razr M is already running Jelly Bean? Cos the Australian version comes preloaded with Jelly Bean and I don't know if there's any way to downgrade it back to ICS to unlock the bootloader.

No, your bootloader has to be unlocked. But since the Australian Razr M is not a Verizon phone, there's no need for exploits etc.
You can unlock it the official way.

And additionally, even after unlocking the bootloader, don't I have to somehow downgrade back down to ICS to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928551

It's not about ICS, it's about having a firmware with an unpatched exploit for the unlock and the latest even was a JB one. But this is only for Verizon devices and there is no way to downgrade with a locked bootloader anyway.
So, if your bootloader is locked, you cannot downgrade. If it's unlocked you don't have to downgrade (because it would be only for the unlock...).

Thanks, but one more question: with CM11 at this link here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Moto_msm8960_Info, is the 9.18.79 firmware JB?

It says
This can only be accomplished on stock firmware versions prior to 9.18.79
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since the builds are unified for all the 2012 Razrs, 9.18.79 is for Razr HD (yes, it's JB and the latest unlockable was JB too).
But since yesterday and the new towelroot this is already a bit outdated, because even newer KK firmwares seem to be unlockable again (until Moto patch it another time).

Oh haha thanks so much happening with the RAZR M recently. So since this info is probably outdated, should I just wait a while for everything to get up to date before thinking about flashing?

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.

[Q] 183.46.10 unable to unlock bootloader

I have been trying for a better part of a day with no avail. I am hoping that someone would able to point me in the correct direction of what I am trying to do.
I used Towelroot to root the Razr M and installed SuperSU from the Play Store. It is fully rooted from what I can tell, but using the Motopocalypse APK and the Windows application with no success.
Any suggestions?

Can someone please confirm whether it's possible or not to unlock bootloader on this 185.46.10?

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.
