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?

Hey,
Just wondering if its still possible after rooting and installing a custom ROM if you can still receive official updates from SE. And if so how?

Yes, you've to relock your bootloader and can update your device via PCC/SEUS/OTA.
And pls post in the correct section.

If you update via OTA after relocking bootloader you will brick your phone! Use PCC.

I've never tried it, but a lot of user in the thread reported, that they were able to update via OTA after relocking.

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.

not sure. read through that entire thread first (took me 3 or 4 full reads before I got the gist of it).
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.

Look for anything that was built prior to when the boot loader was unlocked in early April.

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

And another

There is another post where the UD is via the rsd xml and could be the same as the one you would the from vzw.

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 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?

Cannot Unlock Bootloader

I've already successfully rooted using king root. But just wanted to be sure whether I'll be able to swap rom for cm11. Your post made that clear.
Can I?
