I have tried various methods to rooting my android device, but to no success. Motochopper gets to the root, then says it failed, and its cleaning up. It does this every time. I also tried to download EasyRootICS but the url doesn't work for some reason. can someone please help me root my Razr M 4.1.2 so I can install Cyanogenmod.

Which system version do you have? If it's the latest OTA, you need Motochopper 1.3 to root it. Also, if it is the latest, you can't install cyanogenmod because the bootloader unlock is patched...

You can use this & restore your data back when done-the steps are in the op.
If all you need is custom recovery. Rom manager works and will allow you to flash cwmr right from your rooted phone- no pc needed.

Hi Guys, I want to root my nexus 4 running 4.3 but I have heard it is not as easy to do since the update, any help please.
P.S: this will be my first attempt at rooting. :fingers-crossed:
I would be interested in knowing how to too.
Background info: I was rooted before this latest update, so my bootloader is still unlocked. Are there any one click method that can work with 4.3?

I used both toolkits that are stickied in the Orig Dev thread to root 4.3. Was extremely simple.

You can also use ClockworkMod's superuser program instead, if you prefer. It has worked flawlessly for me on 4.3.
The 4.3 permission issues have been resolved in both programs (although in different ways).
For superuser go here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser&hl=en
Click on "Read More".
Click on the url link for Manual installation with the recovery zip (Recommended if you are having installation issues or are not rooted), and download the file.
Flash recovery in fastboot and then flash superuser in recovery.
Rooting 4.3 is identical to rooting 4.2 (or any other version really) with the exception of requiring an updated su application. The only difference is the implementation, which you as the end user shouldn't have to worry about as long as it's working okay.
Will CF Auto Root work with 4.4.2 I just updated to on my AT&T S4??? Any method to get it Back Rooted Yet?

There are people working on it. But no, there is not root on 4.4.2 yet.

It's been less than 24 hours... have a little patience.
Try it out and let us know. When I get to my computer later I will be experimenting with some methods.

Trying to Root AT&T Galaxy S4 i337 4.4.2 methods fail, why?
I am trying to root my AT&T Galaxy S4 i337UCUFNB1 android 4.4.2 kitkat. I have tried the towelroot method by Geohot and it fails because the phone reboots and I've also tried the "motochopper" method :"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604":4382 , which looked like it was going to work and then I get this error in the image provided. I don't know what I am doing wrong I followed the steps of both methods, if someone can help me figure this out I would be VERY grateful!

THANK YOU X100 !!!!! :good: :good: :good:
I’m cant update to KK.
I have two Razr M phones
The old one was running KK, since yesterday I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader!
I have a new xt907 which was running JB, rooted, Safestrap was installed .
I can’t update the new phone to KK.
I read every thread on update problems
I uninstalled Safestrap
I tried to flash every version of fastboot files with RSD lite and even the Universal script generator , which worked fine on my old phone when I upgraded to KK.
What do I try next?

So this is not my first rooted device but it is my first time rooting my Razr M since it got upgraded to Kit Kat. It is also my first time installing Xposed so some help would be appreciated.
Yes is safe to install xposed... here is a nice collection of modules ... Be sure to unlock your boot loader before the next ota is pushed as when the next ota comes we may not be lucky enough to find a root method...

Is unlocking the bootloader necessary if i don't plan on installing any custom roms? If i needed to return to stock i could just use RSD right?

When the next ota update comes you will lose root and if there isn't a root exploit for that version with an unlocked BL you can always flash SuperSU via recovery and get root back... And yes rsd is an option to return to stock to accept the next ota

Alright. Thanks for the help.
But just to make sure, unlocking the bootloader is not necessary for Xposed right?
Correct.... But is strongly recommend

Alright, i'm assuming that motochopper is still the best option to unlock the bootloader right?
Use the Motopocalypse app
