Because you are asking in the wrong forum? I am not sure if these devices are compatible, I think you might have luck elsewhere. You could try starting here
XT908/Moto RAZR MAXX 4.0.4
Well I guess I assumed that the M stood for maxx a mistake I wasnt aware of at the time! And yes I know what assuming sometimes causes. But what device I have is the Moto RAZR MAXX 4G/LTE/running android 4.0.4 model XT908 Im with Bluegrass Cellular in KY. config version GAS_NA_GCXSPYDERLRA Build: 6.7.2-180_DHD-16_NA-27 in my opinion thats alot of info. But it is what it is! I totally love this phone and I can only imagine how much more I will like it when it gains Root Access! Hopefully and I hate to bother people but I was told that if I couldnt get root info. here it couldnt be had!! So here I am asking for the best method of rooting this device! And any help or guidance I receive from yal will be greatly appreciated more than you will ever know! So I guess you could say Im a student and very eager to learn with some of your know how and expertise! So I want to say in advance Thank you very very much!

P.S./ And I am having trouble to finding the RAZR MAXX 4.0.4 thread in this site! Its not a HD! So?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1360
That is the RAZR forum and the Maxx has identical firmware and hardware except for the battery, so it is covered in that forum.
The current Moto fail root exploit for ICS should also work on your firmware.
Still not rooted and double confused!?

My phone is a XT908 Motorola RAZR MAXX 4.0.4 ok a couple guys have said that most of the known exploits will not work on this phone? 6.16.207.XT908.LRA.en.US is the system version and the firmware config version GAS_NA_GCXSPYDERLRA is this phone that different from other Razr Maxx's Im on Bluegrass Cellular/Verizon And its CDMA if that matters if any of yal know what I could try it would totally appreciated!
You can root the xt908 using this tool & I use the cm11 for the xt912 spyder and it works perfect on my xt908 from Appalachian Wireless in Kentucky.

Hello gents,
I just picked up an S4 last night on Bell...model number is SGH-I337M I assume.
I haven't turned it on yet...just charged it.
I've been reading the forums this morning, and I keep seeing posts about not doing the OTA update. Is that for AT&T phones only? I read about locked bootloaders...is the I337M locked as well? From what I read, I think it is not?
I wasn't planning on rooting or flashing immediately...maybe not ever to be honest...but I'd like to option to be there should I want to.
Your device is NOT locked, only the US version, you are one of the lucky ones.
As far as rooting and such, do it when you feel comfortable about it, in the mean time, good time to read about it, here are 2 great starter sites. Good luck and enjoy.

Thanks for the reply. I suppose I should still be careful when updates are released...in case they decide to lock things down.
I tried the links...got a 404 page not found on both...but found them myself. Thanks again.
Yes, you are one of the lucky ones. Us pathetic souls on AT&T wish we had your Canadian service providers.
Well scratch the 3yr contract lol.

Wanna buy my phone then? As noted above, I haven't even turned it on yet! HAHAHA!
Three year contracts are ending soon...December 2nd at the latest. I read on mobilesyrup.ca that Bell is starting their new two year plans tomorrow...and Telus just made their two year plans public (not sure when they will be available).
Oh, and I'm not a total Samsung n00b. My first Android phone was an SGS i9000 (wife is currently using), and I am using an OG Note i717. I'll be giving her the Note shortly (tonight or tomorrow), and I'll use the SGS4. Then when the Note 3 comes out, I'll get that and give her the SGS4.
I added the links again.
If you just got the phone you will be on the latest canadian update. I doubt we will ever get our bootloaders locked..thats strictly an at&t thing but id still be wary of any ota.im rooted with custom recovery so no worries for me lol.
Enjoy your new device bro!

Lots of interest in the Moto X forums.........none here???
Well, when I entered this thread my opinion was "WTF, again, what chance this guy has against Motorola cryptography?" BUT, why not? There is nothing can be gathered from my unlock code, except my IMEI (reverse calculate from the unlock token or database match - both of which are unlikely) which could be used by Moto to re-lock my BL but if they wanted to, they would've done it with the latest update.
I'm going with it!

Thanks. Keep in mind, we are NOT attempting to crack Moto's cryptography, as I well know that this isn't possible (in my lifetime, at least). Instead, we are trying to find if a single code has successfully unlocked more than one device. There isn't any proof, based on Dan Rosenburg's (author of the Razr M Bootloader Exploit) analysis of the "token validation" logic, that the code is based on the IMEI.....although it COULD be the case. This whole thing is quite the mystery - especially the "China Middleman" aspect of it.
Dan suggests it is based on the particular certificate / key / hash / q-fuses for said devices. And once again....this is ALL based on complete speculation (as I've stated many times (don't care to count how many). )
Thanks to anyone who contributes and thanks for creating this effort! I have a BL locked Mini and it's a 2013 version so not only can I not pay (he only unlocks 2014s right now), but I don't have PayPal and I don't have $45. Really, this might work and so please post your codes if you want to help people like me... we can never know if it works until we try.

Is there a way to retrieve the code? I'm unlocked via the Tao bao site on the first go around. I used the IM feature on the site to communicate so I don't have the code in an email. I can't remember for the life of me how I signed on to look to see if it's still there. Is the code stored on the device anywhere once unlocked?

No way to retrieve it from the device itself....and I'm not familiar with Taobao (or how to look up a prior purchase from there). You can try searching your email (if you even received one) for your IMEI, as he usually included it along with the unlock token.
Aside from that, I don't have any suggestions. Thanks for trying to help though.
If moto x gets a way to unlock bl for free, it could help us a lot!
I just wanted to say "THANKS!" to all the ---jerks--- that are putting bogus info into the form.....like "12345", or the most recent "1".....yeah, thanks for the humor you're giving me. Including Mr. XDA username "a"...how original....
Nice to get a good laugh every now and then.....knowing I can simply erase your bogus data away with one simple keystroke... LMAO
Collecting just unlock code make no sense. I think that code AT LEAST a hash code of IMEI. Well it might be not a IMEI but serial number or what ever. They run hashing on security chip and verify the signature. The chance of two phones having the same code is veeeeery low. In another words you won't find equal codes, I know for sure. The only way is to get how they calcualte the code but that would be hard because you don't know what it comes from and you have nothing at all, not even IMEI or serial.

OK, sure, we understand that. Now examine the logic. Nowhere does Dan Rosenburg suggest that the TOKEN is unique to a particular IMEI, OR in any way validated or hashed against the IMEI. Only that it is based on certificates / keys / hashes STORED in the CID partition, and blown Q-fuses.

Please consider that we have no interest in what you are suggesting....which is actually breaking Moto's encryption / master key. Based off my knowledge of key / certificate - based cryptography, I am well aware that even IF we had 10,000 VALID unlock token / IMEI combinations, it would STILL likely take -longer than our combined lifetimes- to crack the master key. And that's assuming you are correct about there being a correlation between Token & Serial / IMEI. Have you considered "q-fuses"? Moto very well could have blown q-fuses (identically) in more than one device...
Personally, I have no interest in -that-. I'm not seeing what purpose collecting the IMEI combinations would have, other than deterring people from actually participating in this because they don't want to share their IMEI...
So my questions really is: What are you trying to say that I haven't already? Self-admittedly, this probably won't work....said it more times than I care to count in the first post alone...
And finally, EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion, and I welcome to you "speculate" however you wish! Lets just please not clog up this thread with any more of it. This thread has a specific purpose, and I'd like to keep it at that. Thanks

That is Dan Rosenberg's method. I've mentioned his name multiple times in the OP, as well as his "Token Validation Logic".
Since the Razr M/HD AND the Moto X have the exact same SoC (MSM8960), his token validation logic likely still applies. @Topsnake is correct in that it will not work on the Moto X, but its because that method exploited a vulnerability in TrustZone to write to (blow) q-fuses in the secure area, thereby unlocking the BL.
All of this is described in the OP, but thanks for trying to add some useful info
Hello everybody. This idea is getting alot more interest in the Moto X section, and one user asked if we would be willing to share some details on the data collected so far. Here it is:
samwathegreat said:
Sure! I think everyone deserves to know the current status....
As of RIGHT NOW, we have:
86 submissions
of which 5 are completely and purposely BOGUS
and 2 sets (4 submissions) are -complete duplicates- and were posted from the same IP, within seconds of each other (I wonder if they really thought I wouldn't look at the timestamps / IP addresses?)
zero correlations
What I can also tell you is that IF the build dates entered are correct, we do have 3 sets (6 submissions) that have the same build date and are completely unique codes. This would seem to rule out the previously suggested idea that perhaps all units from a particular build date might use the same unlock-token.
Still need much more data to make any further (useful) correlations.
Hope everyone appreciates the update.... :good:

Sadly, someone correct me if I'm wrong but, I believe this is for a Motorola bought phone, not a Verizon bought phone made by Motorola.

While this generally works for moto phones, verizon phones and a few others are not eligible for it. If you try, the moto site will tell you this.
Only hope is that someone finds and exploit similar to the G3 and is able to force TWRP onto the phone without unlocking.
My G3 still technically has a locked bootloader but they managed to push TWRP to it anyway.
Unfortunately with the Turbo being Verizon exclusive and such a small following, I doubt we will ever see the day especially with the "Turbo 2" coming out. Best bet for now, is Motofail ($20) to push custom roms.

Apparently the Sunshine team that finally cracked the Droid Turbo has had no luck finding an exploit on this phone. It's gonna come down to giving one to someone who can crack it and pay them if they want money... If you really need root, at this point it would be easier to buy an X-Force, you can get the unlock code from Motorola. Verizon is not letting them hand out codes for the Droid Turbo 2.
There's a few root threads to read over, no one has gotten close to cracking the bootloader yet, until that happens, perm root is not achievable on this phone.

Good luck rooting that iPhone.
There's plenty of phones better than iPhone, and which can be rooted. You just bought the wrong phone. You should stay away from any Verizon phones in general, if rooting is important to you. Or at least make sure there's an exploit (like with Droid Turbo) before buying.
