Did anyone see dhacker29's post about CM10 on Razr M?

Just read this post on twitter from dhacker29.
And we have Jellybean CM10 on the Droid Razr M
SurfaceFlinger(305): OpenGL informations:
SurfaceFlinger(305): vendor : Qualcomm
SurfaceFlinger(305): renderer : Adreno (TM) 225

I wonder if thats for dev phones only right now??? Can't wait to load up some ROMs

Of course that's for dev only. At the moment, only dev models can flash anything. We would need safe strap/boot strap in order to flash.

From what I have been reading I think they are pretty close with Safestrap3 for the M

That would be almost impossible. One does not simply crack a Motorola boot loader. Either we get a leak, or they let us unlock it on the website. We are only gunna get safe strap is my prediction.

I'd be more than happy with safestrap at this point. I mean this phone was 99% unrootable until Dan started getting back in the game. So M user's should take anything they can get at this point.
Plus if we were able to get plenty of workarounds for the original Razr's then I don't see why dhacker, p3, hash, etc, won't be able to do it for the M.
Got a white one on the way w00t w00t.

Keeping my S3, but the M will be the gf's phone. Wonder if she'll let me use it to try and port Paranoid Android over.
Aside from the original Galaxy Note, I've never wanted a phone more than the M, due to it's size, incidentally the same reason I wanted the Note originally lol.
Just can't give up my S3. But as you can see from my signature, I love Moto phones so maybe I'll end up with the Razr M HD or something lol.

Definitely a great phone. I'd recommend it. The RAZR HD is better, but you gotta like a bigger phone. I like the 4.3" screen. Believe it or not, this is the smallest android phone I've ever owned. Smaller then my Samsung fascinate!

Played with the M extensively, (my Lieutenant has one), and I'm the go to guy for all rooting and romming needs at work. His has some considerable lag and I can't help but chalk it up to the 1gb of RAM vs the 2gb on the S3. Touchwiz runs smoother and pushing a much larger screen and about 400 more megabytes worth of crap built into Sammy's rom.
W/ that said Moto has my heart and up until my S3 the Razr was the best phone I had owned. Hell I got my parents two Maxx's to get them started on their venture into smartphones. They love them.
Will be interested to do radio strength comparisons. My S3 was pulling better reception than my LT's M, side by side and where mine would still be in 4G, his was in 3G. This seems hit or miss w/ the M's, kind of like the VZW Gnex's. My Gnex was always rock solid on radios but my g/f's Gnex was horrendous. Well we went through 4 Gnex's til we got one that wouldn't drop a signal, sitting right next to mine w full 4G. (Have a tower literally 100ft from my apartment.)
Which brings me to my next point. This whole radio thing w/ the M has baffled me b/c that and build quality are what has always won me, along with others over when it comes to Moto. Locked BL's suck but radio strength and quality mean the world to me. I'm a bit superstitious and my g/f has the most awful luck w/ phones, (i.e....went through 4 Gnex's, her first 4S wouldn't activate on VZW and it was brand new, had to get a replacement, her RAZR charging port got jacked up and she's gentle with her phones, had to get a replacement, we bought her a used RAZR a month ago to leave the 4S behind, and this one wouldn't pull 4G at all....flashed every radio I could....I'm tellin ya, this girl has no luck w/ phones and I pray we actually get a good M, else I think I'm gonna tell her ass to just stick with dumbphones.

I'm pretty sure safestrap is like a recovery for locked boot loader devices. Since we are unable to change the boot img, we must work with that kernel and boot IMG. With safe strap, you have rom "slots" where you can install a system on a SD card (I think, haven't used it). If anyone has a better explanation/more details, help would be nice

It's basically like creating an extra partition. It bypasses the original startup by booting into the actual Safestrap boot screen. From there you have the option to go straight to recovery or do nothing and let the phone load into whatever partition you have active (safe side or non safe side).
Usually safe side is where you custom rom is and what you boot up to. Non safe side is your factory image. W/ bootstrap it would basically overwrite your factory image while piggybacking onto the factory bootloader. Safestrap was invented to prevent bricking in the event that fastboot files weren't available or a serious brick occurs.
Once you get really good, you can figure out ways to flash a custom rom on your non safe side (factory image side) and then another custom rom on your safe side. Virtually having dual boot on two custom roms lol.

I can't wait for some custom business on my M. I have been surprised with how much I love this device. My buddy has an S3 and I wouldn't trade for nothing. I just miss my ability to flash roms and tweak like my og razr.

I had an S3 for 2 months before trading for an M. Your findings are pretty much similar to mine. Radio seems a bit weaker than my S3 was. Also my S3 rarely lagged, but I have ran into lag issues with the M, not often but it's there and I also feel it's from the 1GB ram as I've underclocked my S3 before and it didn't lag like the M can sometimes.

Dissappointment - locked bootloader?

My previous phone (Galaxy SkyRocket) was a fantastic phone, but decided to upgrade since I could get the S4 for $99 and the SR was having trouble charging.
I come to find out there will be no rooting/Recovery/ROM because of the --- Mod Edit, masked profanity is senseless ---locked bootloader/MF3 Firmware from AT&T. And it doesn't sound like there is a good shot any of this will be cracked.
Very tempted to return the phone and get something else. Should I just hang in there and wait for a reliable root/recovery method or return the phone?

Its been 9 months since the s4 was released and no exploit has been found yet besides on MDL and safestrap on mf3 but then again 4.3 just came out very recently and you can root your phone. I'd say turn your phone back in and get a nexus 5. Or you can cough up the extra cash if you want a gs4 and get the Google play edition. But overall I love my s4.

Huge let down. I hate bloat ware. This may be my last Samsung phone. I might go back to HTC or check other offerings when the time comes. I miss all the things you could do with a rooted phone running a custom ROM.

I would return it before it's too late.

I got the LG G2 after coming back from a SGS4 and i gotta say, its a huge upgrade. Everything about it is better and there isn't any of this stupid KNOX and dumb Bootloaders

I'd say return it, I'm currently selling my S4, hopefully someone buys it. Never again Samsung.

LG G2 = Nexus 5. Same specs, same processor and everything more or less. Just Nexus 5 is unlocked and will have more support than any other phones usually.

safestrap makes the MF3 tolerable but yeah, not being able to dabble with kitkat really sucks. Since this is my work phone I'll probably just use safestrap with a stripped down stock. At the moment I have graviton which is acceptable but IMHO still has too much bloatware on it.

Anyone have any thoughts about selling it on Ebay?

Still love the hardware. The display is awesome. Removable battery, sd card. It is a dream phone. So aggravating that it has been hobbled like it is. Thought I was getting a great deal when I got it on eBay. Coming from s3 I just figured it would be easy to mod. Didn't do my research before buying. Still a great phone but really limited. So I am kind of stuck with it now. Maybe I could resell it and try to get one of those unlocked ones but crap they are expensive. I hope somehow it will get liberated.

This is what I am leaning towards. Just deal with the crap/bloatware and hope some breakthrough occurs with these boot loaders.
I think Ebay is gonna be too much of a hassle and the handset is really nice, although not being able to tether is SEVERELY annoying.
Thanks to all for the advice.

This thread is depressing to me lol (phone comes in tomorrow....)
G2 has whack design with its buttons and and no sdcard..
Anyway I will probably keep the s4 (hopeful root) till something good comes out (was hoping xperia z1 would come to att) and then give the phone to my mom....
Everybody should call Samsung 1800# tomorrow around same time and complain to unlock BL (or AT&T which ever it is)
Surge and a few other Devs are working their brains out past few weeks (hopefully picking up traction) and get unlock)

Being on a ATT One X I'm out of the loop has any exploit been found for 4.4? Or will we be in the same boat as the GS5 guys? How is the M8 doing?

No exploit has been found for 4.4 so as far as I know, we will be in the same situation that we are in the S5.
HTC is a different story cause they provide a method to unlock the bootloader via HTC dev.

I'm so hoping AT&T gets the G3 (and hoping even more the bootloader is unlocked).. I have the LG OG Pro, and LOVE it, but ready for something newer.. Would have got the G2, but the lack of a SD card slot turned me away from it.. Just hope we get lucky! :fingers-crossed:

I love my OG Pro...like looove it, but when ATT offered me an early upgrade (1 year early) on my line, I opted for the S5...not knowing that it was bootloader locked.
Depending on the info released today and when it comes available, I may be returning my GS5 for the G3. Because you know... LG > Samsung in my book. (Even though I had both Note and Note 2)

G3 is coming to all of the big 4. There's no chance in hell it will come with bootloader unlocked when getting the device through the carrier. If you want an unlocked bootloader, but it from 3rd party reseller or hope for a new exploit.

You guys might be real happy about this, I just read this article, where they did a benchmark with an International version the LG-F400S LG G3 variant which apparently works on AT&T's LTE network. My guess while not only does an International version work on AT&T which is amazing news, but chances are, wouldn't that also mean that the device in theory would also be factory Unlocked?!? :good:

You might also consider the G2, spec wise very similar to the S5, but can be rooted easily and custom recovery installed (not T-Mobile) without having to downgrade the OS from Kit Kat first. The first step requires a computer using IOROOT25, which roots the phone, the an app that installs on the phone called Autorec, installs recovery. Easy as pie. I hope the G3 will be just as easy.

I looked into getting the G2 before I decided on my Optimus G Pro, but the lack of an SD slot instantly turned me away.. I've rooted many phones and installed more roms and kernels than I can count.. I'm studying development right now trying to get the hang of it so I can develop roms/kernels etc.. Thanks for your input!

I need a new phone bad and the LG G3 has everything I want. Sleek design, Wireless Charging, Removable battery, etc. If ATT locks down the bootloader, I'll be looking elsewhere.
I walked into an ATT store the other day and said I'm looking for a new phone. He said everyone really likes the GS5. I rolled my eyes and said no thanks. He had a puzzled look on his face and then I told him I'm not buying a bootloader locked phone. He just mumbled, "uh ya" and walked away. I walked out.
I was going to wait for the nexus 6 but that is dead now.
Looks like HTC is the only option these days for root and custom roms unless you go Oppo or One Plus One.

You can get the international version of all the phones you mentioned and they come with unlocked bootloaders. Look in the XDA forum for those phones (S5) and they probably have custom rom and a root process.....

The problem is having to pay full price for the phone. Yes, I know contracts end up being more expensive, but not everyone has about $700 in their pocket to drop on a phone.

I was thinking of picking up one of the Korean version on ebay. How can I know for sure that I will get 4g on AT&T?

You can not root 5.0 or 4.4.4 nor can you downgrade to a rootable version.
If you are on 4.4.2 or lower. ..then it can be rooted but you can never upgrade to a higher rev OS

The only thing I don't like is I'm stuck with lollipop sad but kitkat is almost obsolete. Iv had my N6 for about 7 months and I'm thinking about getting somthing different. I will be buying from swappa because that's were I got my nexus and they have great prices. I'm on Verizon been with them for about 3 yrs but am seriously thinking about switching carriers because GSM has more options as far as root goes hope that makes sense,lol. I want a device that I can at least root, I want the note 3 or 4 or 5. I would prefer to stay with CDMA if I can but if need be I can switch. I need help picking out a good device with at least a 5.7" and rootable.

Doesn't the new N6P come stock lollipop? I busted my nexus 6 a few weeks ago and now I'm out of a phone. My son kicked his football over a high wall I had on a pair of shorts with my N6 in my pocket and when I jumped over the wall it flew outa my pocket . Unfortunately when it came outa my pocket it landed screen first into some rock's. It's dead 'crying'. I had to call Verizon and get insurance on the device. Bad thing is I gotta wait a month before I can file a claim for a new device because when you first start the insurance you gotta wait a while. I'm using my old HTC one max with a damaged SIM card slot, so I can only use it on WiFi...Needless to say I'm gonna be without a device untill I can use my vzw insurance. The N6P is an ok device but I really like the note 4. When I get my replacement N6 I am gonna sell it and use that money for a note 4. I would like to get a Sprint note 4 and then use it on VZW if that's possible.
Kit Kat all the way!

Been a while

Well it's been a while since I have been checking for updates and all. I am still on the stock rooted rom for my Moto X Pure
Running:
5.1.1
Build LPH23.116-18
I just switched over to my LG G3 for a few days and plan on doing some updates to this Moto X.
Do you suggest any Custom ROMS or are you letting the phone update and staying stock rooted.

Stock 5.1.1 is still the smoothest with the best battery life, and very stable. I can't stand MM, because it can't scroll smooth enough for me. It's like scrolling through mud or sand. Custom ROMS are getting buggier by the day. But if you can live without flashlight and video recording, I think it was the 1/15 build of AICP is pretty decent.

Thanks for the info. I will just leave the Moto as is then.
I think I will stick with my LG G3 for a few. There is alot of things that I missed that is did and the Moto does not.

I have a different opinion, I stayed stock MM for a long time and recently flashed a Rom and have been very happy with it. the 01/30 build of the Bliss rom is very stable and smooth. The Camera video works as does the flashlight. Battery seems the same to me. I get bored with stock so I'm liking messing with all the features the rom gives you.

I may try out the Bliss rom then. Nothing to loose I can always TWRP my Original ROM back when ever. I am not using the Moto X right now anyway so let the flashing go. Hell I'm back using my LG G3 and pondering on selling the Moto X Pure. So much I missed with the G3.

If you backup if Lollipop, and you upgrade to the MM bootloader -you can't go back, without the restore to stock tool.

Sorry sold it already got 425 for it.... I guess I won't be in this area of XDA anymore. Time to move one to another phone to play with. Just got to decide what.
Running my LG G3 with Jasmine ROM as my daily driver for now.
