should do. if not use the Droid Razr M utility to restore to stock then run the unlock process
seriously starting to question whether or not i should just pull both the threads and videos ive posted about sim unlocking and letting people just suffer with their issues. this is way too friggin easy and worthwhile to pass up! but im too nice a guy to do that. especially since the videos have a few THOUSAND hits.
how the hell do i keep seeing posts about "i cant do it" "how do you unlock for this carrier" "i want my razr m on a sim company" when its RIGHT HERE!!!!!!&#@%^&#@%

Could use virtualmachine or make a secondary partition so as not to lose anything you currently have on your machine. Also I updated the video description with a link to the drivers more suited for the process
droid razr m 4.4
4.4 kit kat OTA update just came out and I think my phone automatically updated.. this method does not work for kit kat on droid RAZR M. I can see the nv file and write the nv file, than when I reboot it goes back to 01. 00 does not stick. Used CDMA workshop 3x and goes back every time. Any suggestions?

Did you try the radiocomm method? I had a tough time, I had to do it 5-6 times before it would stick..more importantly make sure you have all the drivers installed..I tried 5 time on my pc with 64bit windows and it didn't stick so i went to a computer with window 7 32/bit and it worked first time..after you write it to 00 leave it sit for about 30 sec before restart. wish you luck

wow without root though? your stuck with that stupid.. "invalid sim" message from Verizon.. (I guess if you never reboot your phone much.. it's probably fine)
re.
when I try to unlock my droid razr m, I get on the video and when it says click on Motorola its not on my computer so I cant click on it what do I do? thanks
Is there anyway someone could create a new radio for the 186.15 radio that I could flash that would unlock my device? because it's stuck in fast dormancy and there's no windows computers around

Hi everybody, this what happened:
I tried to flash my atrix with Atrix 1.26 Retail SBF through RSDLite.
After that it shut down and when i try to turn it on it says :"Failed to boot 0X1000" then it shuts down again. It doesn't even give me any option.
For the record, my phone was up to date (i got that wifi only system update by att). Also, this phone is unlocked and I have no warranty with any carrier.
I hope I didn't brick it.
Please give me simple solutions if there is any. Your help will b very much appreciated.
Thank you so much.
i'll let others break down the news to you..
Sorry bud, but I believe you now have a nice set of glass upon to look at.

People are being helpful...by telling you sorry. If you need it for work, you'll probably just need to go buy a new phone ASAP. Like others have said, there are plenty of warnings and instructions on what/what not to do on your phone. Unfortunately, you missed those. Hope you can find another phone for cheap...
You have a hard brick, never try to downgrade. Nottach was able to fix his because he got a brick by upgrading, and he was lucky enough to figure it out. Downgrading on the other hand ruins your device, every time

We are helping you, by telling you that there's nothing that you can do. Your phone is hard bricked. There is absolutely no way to recover from a hard brick, period. You need to replace the phone. That is the reality, and there is no getting around it.
I was running CM9 on my Atrix when my digitizer went bad and I got a dead spot. I submitted it for warranty and before I sent it I tried to put it back to normal. I did something wrong I guess and ended up with a different boot error (didn't even give me an error code the screen was black unless I plugged it in I just got the NV flash thing). Anyways, I sent it in and the same phone came back completely working with a fixed screen. I think when they get it they hook it up with a factory cable and flash it back to stock with the SBK, which we don't even have access too. Just send it in for warranty saying it has software problems, and I can almost guarantee you it will come back working.

Possible he does with motorola. OP there is a tool on motorola website to see if its under warranty. Maybe give that a shot.
Bro do some reseatch that error message is a soft brick I believe I ran into a similar issue when I first roote it last year
Just thought I would weigh in that I received this same error code after an attempted SBF flash of zomgunlock-lite.sbf, and thought all hope was lost, but then I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27158667&postcount=153
The instructions there helped me un-brick my phone, and I'm a happy camper once again
I have installed at least 2 different roms and still can't fix the dialer bug. The numbers are not recognized by any operator on calls, it just doesn't don't anything.
Does anyone know any solution or at least know how to come back to stock? Razr M unlocked bootloader

What are the bands used for GSM by your carrier?
The phone is factory SIM unlocked, meaning that it will accept any SIM, but if the bands for your carrier are the same as US GSM, you need to use the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542 to open up those bands...
Also, if you haven't already, you'll want to edit your build.prop for GSM use. I'm probably gonna write up a guide on how to do it here eventually so I have an easy link to point to.
Also, FWIW, you won't really get an improvement on stock if you're having connection problems. If anything, stock will lock you down more because Verizon is annoying...

The GSM band used by my Carrier (Virgin Mobile Chile) is GSM 1900, also i've never edited build.prop since the last time i did for illusion ROM and it didnt work, giving me a softbrick.
The problem i'm having right now is the DialPad, it wont work at all in calls, in any Custom ROM i've installed so far... i dont know what am i doing wrong? since i dont see that bug very often over here

wait... what do you mean by dialpad?
Do you mean the dialpad that you can access in-call? Like to "press 1 to continue"?
There should be a button on the bottom-right to access that... just tap it and it will appear

haha yeah i know that, the thing is i can tap them all and nothing will happen, for example: press 1 to access your account ... then i press 1, and nothing... i can actually spam numbers and nothing, its like pressing nothing at all even when i cant literally have my screen full of numbers actually dialed.

I want to root my Razr M and need assistance as I've never rooted a phone before. Could someone link me a safe guide that I can use? My phone is that "Not for sale. Motorola Mobility Confidential Restricted Property" version and it apparently can't seem to detect any kitkat update(even though razr m has the update). So I'm going to root it and update it to kitkat. I'm not a noob per say, just that I haven't ever rooted a phone and have least bit knowledge about cellphones.

Everything has the potential to go bad. So, if you're not willing to accept that, modifying is not for you. With that being said, Sam's update is easy to use if you follow the directions. Once updated, root and unlocking the bootloader are also easy.

Hello everyone. First of all I want to say that this is a great forum with tons of valuable information. You guys do excellent jobs here. Now. I have a recently purchased S4 with AT&T. It is imperative that I get this phone unlocked TODAY. I am going in for surgery and my daughter is going to be left alone at home and I need her to have a phone to be able to contact me at the hospital if need be or in case of an emergency. I have tried all of the way that I have found on here to unlock this device and have not been successful. I cannot even get it Rooted. I tried with MotoChopper. I tried ODIN, King, and whatever the last one is. I have tried the *#0011# and it goes to the service menu but when I key in the number one, a screen flashes real quickly that says menu not exist. then back to the service screen. I do not know where to go from here. Can someone please assist me with a step by step tutorial on what needs to be done? I would be extremely grateful. I am standing by refreshing the page hoping for responses. Thanks!
I assume you want to sim unlock it? Do you know what firmware version you're on?

Those are complicated procedures and take time to learn w/o breaking your phone which you don't want to do atm.
With sim unlocking which is for using phone on another carrier I have no exp with. But, thought Obama passed law requiring carriers to give you that info. Otherwise, maybe someone else has done it on your model or Google alot.
Again, I am confused on why you need to sim unlock or root--sorry--
Hope you get it sorted in time--:good:
I have a Droid Maxx, and Razr Maxx HD and perhaps some beer cash for the answer to root...
I was thinking flashing twrp, then let it root, or am i way off or require an unlocked bootloader? I tried sunshine, but no go as it requires root.
So if i understand, you can get root without an unlocked bootloader, or is an unlocked bootloader a prerequisite of root? I am thinking not, but i am a Windows/SharePoint guy and pretty dumb to linux...

I was thinking flashing twrp, then let it root, or am i way off or require an unlocked bootloader? I tried sunshine, but no go as it requires root.
So if i understand, you can get root without an unlocked bootloader, or is an unlocked bootloader a prerequisite of root? I am thinking not, but i am a Windows/SharePoint guy and pretty dumb to linux...

You need an unlocked bootloader to flash TWRP (which flashes SuperSU). There is no known root method available yet because the phone has only been out for about 8 hours.
The Sunshine team has apparently said they will not be supporting Motorola devices for 4.4.4 in their 3.0 release, only HTC, so unlikely it will work there.
Has anyone tried Towelroot?

I think they said the opposite: "Verizon users on 4.4.4 you will have to wait for the 3.0 release."

Yes, that is in the website. Someone posted this in another thread here. There's no link to the OP so I'm not sure beyond what it says.

Yeah, I didn't think I'd need root but the dpi on this thing is just way too high. For being such a great display it's hindered by the scaling. Easily fixed with root though!!
Found this on some Chinese site. If I had a backup phone I'd try it. But I don't. So can't risk bricking. Anyone else want to take a leap of faith? Ummm... Won't let me post the link because I'm still a noob apparently... So gonna try breaking it up. Just remove the line returns and spaces.

Didn't work for me. Too be safe I used a virtual machine with a snap shot taken before installing so I can revert back without the risk of spyware. Also tried Kingo but no luck with either.

Also vroot during the root attempt installs 2 apps on your phone and who knows what it installs on Windows without running a regmon, if you do decide to try it make sure you uninstall the 2 chinese apps when your done trying. Also like I mentioned above I would highly not to install vroot or Kingo on your daily driver windows machine. Leave the testing to people who have virtual machines they can install these apps on.
I have used vroot and kingo in the past to successfully root so I know they do/can work, they just haven't been updated yet to work on the Droid Turbo. Hopefully they will.

Thanks for posting the unbroken link for me
Dang, you guys got my hopes up reading through this.
I keep checking the other Moto forums for root options. I'm banking on anything that will root a Moto 4.4.4 phone will work on ours. The Moto G 4.4.4 update has a later build date than our version.
