I'm currently on 98.30.1 on my Razr M with a locked bootloader. I was wondering if it is possible to restore a backup from another Razr M that backed up and earlier firmware using safestrap. I'm having terrible battery issues with the latest OTA. I had better battery life with 98.12.4 and was curious if this was possible.

No. Your kernel is locked (boot.img). But once you have a ss backup of your virgin sys (for a fall back when kk comes). Start disabling apps from settings/apps. There is a list of good to remove apps in the 926 forum.

You can try moparman371 ...78 system on ...94 boot.
Go my restore thread ~ in the middle, for the link. You will have to mod the script.

Download and install Towelroot, run it. Download supersu, busybox, and safestrap. Install. For roms, follow devs instructions to install their roms. Do not skip a step.

I just need to install that on my phone, or computer?...I guess I thought I was going to have to do work with drivers and some other things, and then link the phone up o the computer and all that other stuff...
Anyways thank you very much for your quick help so far!
I think you only need a pc to Odin anything to install modded roms. Nc4 is roots with towelroot, then you just install supersu, busybox, and safestrap and run them.

Make sure you download safestrap 3.75

ok do you get those from the playstore, or from the internet on the phone. When I typed in towelroot on google play, I got DriveDroid (paid), Soft buttons, Root checker and unroot PRO as results.

Are you downloading to a pc? If so which browser are you using? As far as I know to download a stock rom, go to sammobile.com . It's a pain in the butt to log in and everything but once it works, you can download the stock rom from them and flash it via odin. I just did that with my note 10.1 to return it to stock.

My GF needs a updated (stable) VZ TW rom for her S5. I don't remember how to flash a stock VZ ROM to my girlfriend's S5 using twrp without locking the bootloader? Any help would be great. Thanks. And any suggestions on stock TW ROMs?
Anybody?

I don't think you can without locking the bootloader

If I understand/read it right. I only flash the ROM zips, in twrp. Kernel is included.

Since the lock info is almost completely contained in Qfuses on the SoC, it should work just fine to put a normal verizon rom on it...I don't know why you wouldn't just use an AOSP rom though...
Thanks. It is for my GF....she's needs the stability. And on CM ROMs the GPS doesn't work. Maybe I can convince her to try something different though. Ha.
You can flash this.

It flashes recovery, though--make sure you don't do that if you don't want it.
Thanks. Will give it a try tonight
Nope didn't boot. Gave it about 13min
I had to flash TWRP in Odin to restore.... (A scary couple of minutes. Lol)
You really can't brick these things. Just create an unbrick image (there's a thread about somewhere around here) and put it on an sdcard. I'm serious--I absolutely hosed my phone (no bootloader) and that brought it right back.
Of course, I'm not issuing a _challenge_

I'm really curious at to why that ROM wouldn't work. What did you use to flash it?

Thanks...I'm using twrp, I was using Phil's. But I'll don't remember. When I get back into town I'll try again. Is there an update to twrp maybe? I would rather use a cm ROM but I could never get the GPS to pick up satellites.
I rooted this phone a long time ago for a friend of mine. Now its locking up even after factory reset. It starts the setup process and just locks up and reboots or it needs a batt pull.
I never installed a recovery or safestrap.
It's been so long since I've messed with any phones. I don't know where to start.
I'm thinking odin might fix it, but I'm not sure what file to use. I would like to get android 5.+, but I don't want to lose root.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
What version rom are you on any version after bod5 cannot be rooted and would go into bootloop and if that's the case you might look into Odin the same full version tar with Odin because any verison after bod5 doesn't allow downgrading

If your truly on pure kit Kat you can downgrade with N12 or NCG via Odin full tar and start over again with the root process

MARSHMALLOW 6.0.1 CANNOT BE ROOTED you have will have to back to lollipop and start root procedure.
Intall this app to check your CID if its start with 15
Then you can unlock your bootloader and possibly root on 6.0.1

Unfortunately you cannot unlock your bootloader.
You have to go back to lollipop then root and then install 6.0 Marshmallow.
---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------
First download vzw lollipop PB1 stock rom.
You can search in xda for download link
Is this method still working if so my cid is 15
6.0.1 can be rooted and if you are going to odin flash lollipop why? Flash twrp in odin mode then flash supersu zip through twrp. Boom rooted then can flash any rom you want. Easy I've rooted every phone this way. Simple
