Root progress - RAZR HD General

Can someone tell me up to what version of Android can be currently rooted. I'm trying to find a Motorola DroidRazr HD for my dad but I'll only get him a phone that can be rooted. I don't want to know what updates can pass root on from previous versions, just what versions can be rooted.

Currently they can all be rooted on the RAZR HD/M but only some of the older versions can unlock bootloader for custom recovery/roms

[Q] What is the latest radio?

I've had a few issues and was wondering if maybe I missed updating my baseband.

That is the latest baseband.
How does one update the radio anyway?

You can just flash it in recovery. I think Avi has one in his thread. If you can't find it, I have one I can upload, but I'll have to do it when I get home to my computer.

Hey guys, I just got a factory replacement for this phone and it came with the latest update. I know I can't unlock my bootloader but is there a way to root?

As far as i know there is a possible root. Is it XT912, or XT902? That'd be helpful information. Also your probably ruining jellybean(4.1.2) which you can root. There is a forum explaining the root process for a razr m using motochopper.

[Q] Should I downgrade to have access to a root method?

Hello. I'm on the new system version 98.18.94 and I was curious if you guys think I should use the droid razr m utility to downgrade to an earlier version so I can root it. Is it suggested that I do that or should I wait for a root method for my current version?

There is no DG.
See my stickys about ...94 or ...1
Yes there is. I have downgraded using the utility before. It deletes everything but I have a backup on my SD card

Using the first option, it downgrades it to stock jellybean

Using the utility before doesn't mean you can use it now. On this latest OTA (and I think the one before), they got rid of the ability to downgrade. There are many people that have tried to downgrade and they get a fastboot fail, but since you're the ONLY one that seems to have this magical ability, go ahead and try it. :good:

That utility is for 2 OTAs ago. If you use it on .94, you risk a brick.
I've bricked my phone before while I was on this update. I used the utility to revive my phone. It worked just fine.

That utility was designed for two OTAs ago. So, if you used it, you would be on that system version if your bootloader was unlocked or you would have a soft brick and fastboot fail if your BL was locked. If you took the utility and replaced the .xml with .94 (which I've seen some people do), then that's why it would be working now. If you didn't replace the file, then I call BS because your system version is still .94.
I am as confused as you my friend

I'm not confused. If you tell us straight, then we can help a lot more.
Here's how it goes:
- Utility 1.10 was designed for 98.12.4(4.1.1) that came out early this year.
- Utility 1.20 was designed for 98.15.66 or 98.16.1(4.1.2)(I can't remember the exact version) and it had the BL unlock tool in it
There has been no updated utility for the last two OTAs because Matt didn't think it was worth it. Some guys over in the HD forum updated the HD utility to include the newest firmware, but there's been nothing like this for the M.
Okay so I have the razr m utility 1.20 and I tried downgrading with rsd lite recently which obviously didn't work. But it was stuck in ap fastboot mode so I used his utility to flash the stock 4.1.2 system, kernel, radio, etc. It worked just fine. I don't know why, I don't know how, but it worked.

Yeah, but it didn't downgrade you because you're still .94. It probably flashed the baseband (which is possible on a locked BL), which cleared the fastboot flash fail, but it obviously didn't flash the system or kernel because you're still on .94.

You fastbooted ...94 boot.img, not ...66 (or ...78) boot.img as you are locked.
I had to re-update my phone to .94 again after that whole thing

Can't upgrade to 4.4 Please help

My rooted Droid R M HD won't install. It goes to about 1/4 through the install process then a red warning sign pops up and the phone reboots.
9.18.94 XT926
Xt926 is the RAZR HD tho it may be very similar to the M xt907 you may find more assistance in the HD community... I would say just rsd the stock firmware from here and you should be good to go...
