I really hate this phone, had I known how much of a headache this phone would be I would have just gave in and got a stupid iPhone. I am currently on 98.18.78 XT907 rooted with a locked bootloader (I used the work around after OTA update, wasn't previously rooted) I really don't need root. The only reason I wanted root was to install a custom ROM on my phone but when I finally got around to the idea of rooting my Razr M I was completely overwhelmed with all of the information and didn't even realize what I would and would not be able to do without an unlocked bootloader. I really don't want to mess around with safe strap... I don't want to mess around with anything anymore, this is all just a big mess and I will never get another Motorola product again for this.
...
Ok... Lets just say I am a little flustered and now I'm ranting, I'll try to just get to the point. My phone is rooted, it has safe strap installed (serving no purpose) and I mounted my external SD as internal memory by editing some lines of code (followed a tutorial). I want a clean slate. I want to be able to go back to stupid stock, because I would rather have the option of doing a restore to factory and not have to worry about freezing the updater, etc. Like I said, all I wanted root for was to load a custom ROM. Since that is such a headache right now due to lack of time, I would love to just have this phone back to stock, erase EVERYTHING, and just deal with it. Is this possible or am I stuck in limbo now until I get a new phone in a year?
I miss my Droid X soo much, even on gingerbread it was a better phone. :crying:
Droid X is not a better phone.
In post #62 of this thread RikRong has a link to the fastboot files you need. You should be able to use RSD to flash back to complete stock.

Who caused this mess? Who's the one that did this to your phone? You! You are the one crying and complaining about how much of a headache this phone is when actually YOU are in total control of what happened to your phone. So instead of coming on here and asking for help, you rant and rave about how you hate this phone that YOU caused.

I don't post that much; I read a lot. There's been a lot of problems that people have run into with their M's but they ask for help when they, themselves, did something wrong with it.
I couldn't sit by and let the op say how he hates this phone when he did everything to it that caused the issues. If he just came on here and said that he needed help, he would've got a pat on the back and been helped.

Do you turn off your phone once or twice a week? I usually do for a few seconds. It'll clear the cobwebs out of the phone. Also, there's an app called Memory Booster that I use that helps a lot.
I have been using total crap Android phones for quite a while, beginning with the LG Ally. That phone was totally unusable until it got hacked and I could load custom Roms on it. Then it wasn't a bad little phone at all. I've had the Play R800x, the Samsung Gem (for about 6 hours), and the LG Vortex. The Motorola Razr M is ANYTHING but a crap phone. Even stock ICS, it was a speedy, reliable and fun phone. Now with Jelly Bean, it's hardly worth the effort of loading a custom ROM for the differences they provide. Now, we have the promise of KitKat coming next, and even stock, I expect it will rock this phone out.
Brother, if you have troubles with the M, all I can say is, you DESERVE an iPhone. Or maybe even a Windows phone!
Naaaahhhh... no one deserves a Windows phone.

Please understand, I came from a an HTC incredible, the crown jewel of legacy androids. I have no other experiences except rooting other friends phones which were low budget prepaids. The hardware on the phone is decent. It certainly is unfortunate the bootloader is locked. I was on 4.2.2 since late last year with the dinc and it kills me I cannot use this phone to it's full potential

I tried installing the Gingerbread update, and when I installed both Parts 1 & 2, then rebooted, my phone only goes to the bootloader screen. Tried using RDS and that, and couldn't find my phone. So I'm stuck.
My phone boots now with a red Moto logo and then goes to the error screen.
My question is, what will Verizon say when they see it? I'm going to take it there later today. I'm under insurance but hacking voids that I believe.
What should I say to get it replaced at no cost?
I was going to say that I put it down, and then when I checked it later it was off, and then when I tried to boot it, this happened, saying I didn't hack it, maybe someone else got it.
Would that work?
Speedy answers would be great.
Thank you so much.
DO NOT TAKE IT TO VERIZON.
Look at the stickies, there is a thread about fixing your phone. You need to find the stock firmware and flash it with RSD.

Well I have funny news for you guys.
I actually saw your messages after I got back..but thank you for your time.
But the guy...bought the story. He said I was probably recieving a bad update, and was able to fix the phone.
The guy was awesome though, after, he could tell it had ben rooted, and said, "yeah just know that root won't work on Gingerbread", which he installed for me.
So problem solved.
The extent of how lucky I was is amazing.
Well good deal. I'm glad he was cool. You can root, you just have to sbf back to froyo first

You don't want the OTA. The upgrade in SOAK will stop you flashing back. After its released the devs will dig into it to see what is different to the leaked OTA.
Beamed from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium
Just because you dont have the OTA yet doesnt mean you where not picked. When its full the survey actually closes so if you filled it out you usually get the Soak. And like stated dont blindly update the OTA if you are unlocked or dont want to risk not being able to downgrade.

So, as of right now, I am running 1.83 with GladiAtrix, locked bootloader, and very happy.
When the OTA goes out to everybody who is on AT&T, who isn't in the SOAK, I know that I will have to flash back in order to actually get the OTA because of the changes to my file system. You are saying that this new OTA will prohibit me from being able to unlock my bootloader, when the time comes that I want to do that?
Personally I don't do custom ROMs (or unlock the bootloader) until the phone is out of warranty or Moto made it official not to release new updates. I can't rely on bugs in custom ROMs...learned the hard way a while back.
With that said, didn't Moto hint to be unlocking the bootloader with the Gingerbread update?

The OTA that was released a little while bricked people who tried to SBF down to a lower firmware. This OTA will most likely do the exact same thing.

Flashing around with RSD is bad in general. There wont be a reason to flash back to older builds since the bootloader is now unlocked. One little glitch while using RSD can result in a brick. Careful what you post about the Moto-OTA test. The main email said not to mention anything about the soak. This is the 4th post I have seen about it now even if you didnt get in, the NDA was still agreed too and now violated again.

It's cool man, i got shot down the other day, theres no need for it.
I've heard quite a bit of people complaining about battery life along with a load of other issues, I had it on my phone for a few days but I ended up going back to 4.3 for my own reasons, I just found it a little more stable.

Haha, no worries
I asked for it to be closed as it was just going round and round.
I think the problem with a place like XDA isn't the concept of what XDA is all about, it's the mix of cultures and what some people deem acceptable behaviour, others may not.
I tend to take most of it with a pinch of salt but some people are just plain vindictive.
I've been on XDA and before that Villain Rom since the beginning of Android, it's supposed to be a place to help one another not bark orders or belittle someone because they either don't understand something or misunderstood something.
At least that's the way I think of it.
I'm not a saint either but I'd sooner help someone than make them look like a spoon.
Also i'm not alone in that thought, some of the people who i've met on here have been absolute legends and would do anything to help, far too many people to name but they know who they are.

It's cool man, i got shot down the other day, theres no need for it.
I've heard quite a bit of people complaining about battery life along with a load of other issues, I had it on my phone for a few days but I ended up going back to 4.3 for my own reasons, I just found it a little more stable.

Nah I mean like how did you get it on your phone? Via flashing it? If so does it work properly. Because I know it's not out on PC companion just yet, in the UK.

Sorry about that. New to xda and was on my phone.
They say some apps are causing drain on Kit Kat due to them trying to access the Sd card and failing due to the new sd card restrictions

They probably didn't even think about this possibility. But since the dawn of Android it was a common feature that every app can write and access the SD card at will and if this is not possible, these apps are stuck and in a loop constantly trying to get access and this drains the battery faster than broken tyre loses air.

I know, this was clear to me, but how such a cracked mind do that without even think about it? Thousand scientist and engineers working on it. I really hate how they try to put us in this way, by force, trying to globalized all the devices as iPhones.

Flashed RomAur
Here you go

And tried a stock rom too.
You only need the FTF for that.

Yea m8, using flashtool you don't need to root your phone for that.
All part of the flashing process.
You don't need to root your phone nor unlock the bootloader to flash an FTF file.
it's simply a case of choosing the correct model number and just flash away (mostly)
You can always return to stock and you can always get back to where you was.
This is one of the greatest things about the Z1 i've found, i had a HTC One previously and i missed how you could flash rom's without the need to use a PC but with the Z1 it's so much easier to get back and remove root.
Sorry forgot to mention, obviously flash the correct type of FTF if you ever do, if you've never done it before then research it until you understand what youre about to do.

I know what you deleted and I agree with you 100%, I already thanked you in the other thread. Yes, Google play dirty. I hate that. I hope somehow the restriction to SD will be cracked and Apps will be installed into it, thanks of some great Developer.

Root is automatically activated when the phone has been in free fall for more than 10 seconds. Find a tall building and throw your phone off of it.
Seriously, have a look around before you post questions like this.

He was just asking a basic question. Did you really have to reply so meanly to him?
With it being a Verizon Droid brand, there's a good chance the answer is never. Probably not a lot of developers with the phone and Big Red is pretty serious about locking it down, hence the answers.

Actually I have looked. I have seen several sources that claim rooting this latest VZW Droid phone is trivially easy. They even post instructions on how to do it.
Now, I wasn't at first going to believe those sources, because they have some odd errors, like 1/2 way thru their instructions they start to refer to the Mot Z Force Droid as being a Samsung phone.
However, based on your knowledgeable answer, I will take your vouching that these sources are being 100% reliable.

Quite the opposite. If there isn't a root method on this forum, then there isn't one that works.

I've seen several sources claiming root for NON-VZW Moto Z phones (i.e.: Bootloader unlocked), I've seen none valid for VZW Droid (i.e.: Locked down like fort Knox)... Guess we have different search engines.
Wrote to Moto, no intention of unlocking it either. So unless someone finds an exploit/backdoor/Universal unlock key, you're SOL.
The current issue is that taking an update will destroy your chances of getting root. Take 0 updates until an exploit is found that will allow us root. Dirtycow/quadrooter are the only linux exploits that we might be able to get to work. Its just a matter of who. I know Jcase (https://twitter.com/jcase?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) has posted in a couple places about compiling dirtycow and even has an "Android Hacking" basics kinda PDF floating around. He has done a lot in the community (SunShine) he doesn't deserve the hate being thrown at him for not developing a root method for this one device.

Oh. Well now I regret taking all those updates. I still doubt we'll get root on this device tho. I can only hope. It seems XDA forums has gone quiet and essentially given up on trying to root this phone, but I hope I'm wrong about that.

pretty much true
I wish that some developer would even try working on this. I myself have thought of many things and will probably create a separate post for root soon since I have a couple ideas which I feel MIGHT MAYBE work, but I need the XDA community to pitch in and help me think of a method. Like I said, I have a rough idea but it needs refining, which I can hopefully get from the community.
Moto z force jailbreak
So what you guys are saying it's inpossable to jail brake our phone? So I should just go out and get a new phone if I want to jail break it?
I was aware the when I bought my phone used that the Droid version probably wouldn't see root anytime soon but I bought it anyway because I did research online and felt the phone had good enough specs and the UI looked good and had cool features so I personally don't even need or miss having root on this phone. My reasons for rooting phones has ALWAYS been for performance tweaks with occasional UI adjustments.
My last phone was an Acend XT (H611) which before having the bootloader unlocked and flashing a debloated and tweaked stock rom it was an utter POS. I paid $50 for that Ascent XT and I liked it but performance and UI wise it doesn't even compare to the Moto Z Force. So I personally don't even miss having root.

Yeah need bootloader unlocked and Verizon won't let Lenovo Unlock our Droid version.
I am more concerned about when we will get another update for Oreo because it has problems sometimes.... I have to restart my phone once a week because the fingerprint scanner or chop for flashlight stop working or some other random bug pops up.
Damn Verizon, thets how they killed the turbo 2
