Hi guys,
I got Australian Razr M TX 905 telstra branded in Istanbul and it is still on 4.0.4
I tried to update OTA but it says " you are on latest firmware"
So I searched how to update JB but could not find.
Is it possible to change stock Telstra firmware to verizon or else to update JB?
And how?
Thanks for your help

You can unlock the bootloader (same as dev edition procedure and works exactly the same), then flash TWRP, then CM10 beta (CWM was broken last time I checked).
However you then need to do some kind of build.prop edit to enable GSM. A few members here have done it and written it up somewhere, search for it.
Note there is no official moto fastboot for the telstra build so proceed at your own risk. Of course you can backup using TWRP.
JB hasn't officially been released on the Razr M XT905 yet. Telstra say it's going to be out 1st Qtr 2013. Use CM10 at your own risk as with all current roms it's really for the Droid Razr M's (CDMA).
Guys I appreciate for your answers. So that means for me " don't touch anything and go on for official"
To be save yes.
Or you can try Verizon JB with Aussie Radio =D
I think someone (apacheo maybe?) suggested that we could update with;
* Unlock bootloader (same procedure as a Razr I)
* Get Verizon Jellybean ROM
* Flash system
* Flash boot
That being said, that doesn't work for me using regular Fastboot System errors out when flashing.
Perhaps not worth the trouble when Telstra is scheduling the "real thing" in early Feb.
Just trying to get a straight answer because there is so much conflicting info and versions out there.
I have a Verizon Motorola Droid Razr M 98.30.1.XT907Verizon.en.US running android 4.1.2 build 9.8.1Q-94-1 with kernal 3.0.31-gef7deb8
build date is listed as sept 26 2013.
Is this device with this software rootable? I tried motochopper and it failed
If it is rootable, what does it entail? How? Does it involve downgrading the software version?
Looking for some answers.
My main desire is to have the ability to use the phone as a hotspot, and maybe down the road experiment with something like cyanogen (maybe if i get brave enough).
Thanks to anyone that takes the time to answer.

Razr m general forum sticky
okay to delete post
thanks, i didn't look around even on the stickies because i got tired not finding things specific enough for my phone. i'll read the metioned sticky. moderator can delete this thread.
Last fall, I bought a used RAZR M with the intention of flashing it over to us on Page Plus. I had just flashed my wife's RAZR MAXX over and thought "How hard can it be?" This was JUST before Page Plus announced 4G LTE on their network (facepalm).
I rooted and unlocked the bootloader with motochopper. But I was having trouble finding an up to date guide for flashing the M to pageplus. The phone was on KitKat, and the exploit had just come out, so none of the guides had been updated... and of course none of them would be because Page Plus got 4G LTE. So my timing was just REALLY bad.
Long story short... I tried muddling through with an older guide. I flashed a recommended radio file via RSD Lite, and the M's radio stopped working completely.
I got frustrated with the process and set the phone aside, but I want to get it working now, since I can use it on Pageplus without flashing.
This is the current info on my phone:
System Version
182.46.10.XT907.Verizon.en.US
Android version
4.4.2
Baseband version
SM_BP101032.020.32.78P
Kernel version
3.4.42-g5170b6b
[email protected] #1

Build date

It's got ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.9, although for some reason every time I try to install a zip from it, it fails.
Can someone point me to a working radio for my phone I can install via RSD Lite, or tell me if there is a different/better way to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried downloading just the stock radio (or entire stock firmware FXZ) and flashing entirely back to default through RSD/House of Moto? Get the default stuff here: http://motofirmware.com/files/category/18-scorpionmini-xt907/

Ok, I know what you're thinking, 5.1 thread, again???? No it's not.
This is for Non Droid Turbo devices, non US Verizon. So Moto Maxx, Latin America devices such as the XT1225
I am currently on official 4.4.4 and I have already opt in for the Moto Feedback Network, so I should get the Soak test update when available.
So let's keep this threat updated about 5.1 updates for our international Droid Turbo variants.
And by the way here are the DROID TURBO - Android™ 5.1 Lollipop - Release Notes

Did you receive the survey or something? Or are you just being proactive and already creating a topic for when it happens?
Proactive mate, I have already singed up for the program and waiting for the soak for the international version.
Here we can follow updates about different variants of the phone (except for the main Droid turbo USA branch), who gets Soak, or official and news regarding that. I am using a PR XT1225, stock firmware and unrooted sadly due to corporate software.
This is the thread I need...waiting like you. I know we could root and stick L on it, but I want to see what develops first (and KK has been fine for me). But hopefully something will develop soon.

You're lucky you have that option, I don't as I have to use corporate software and cannot be rooted (let's not start talking about root cloaking etc as it didn't work for me)
Let's keep this alive with updates and share stories and we should be fine, I am assuming since Droid US has got 5.1 it won't be far for us. I would give it a month or two.
People keep saying that Droid turbo and Moto Maxx are left behind but the reality is, we are getting the 5.1 update at the same time as the Moto X so we should use the Moto X as an indicator. I think once Moto X (international version) gets the official 5.1 update (currently in Soak testing as the Droid Turbo) we will get it as well.
I think some people won't even have to wait. Tomorrow Motorola will release a downloadable file of Droid Turbo 5.1 for use with RSD lite, and since the Droid Turbo KK worked on Moto Maxx (since it's bootloader can be unlocked), I'm betting this one will too, but with some adjustments (like no flashing the rádio partition/flashing the intl rádio partition afterwards)
That might work, but I won't risk it. I would wait for the official OTA, I have already returned 100% stock. I would have totally gone for it if I didn't have my work apps complications.

The apps are a problem indeed. I'll wait for the oficial release, then go backup to KK, restore my stuff with titanium and update.

I do remember, for you it's really a no go if you want/have to keep the apps/data. Rootjunkysdl already have the OTA file, I'm backing up now to test my hypothesis.
Well I can justify asking for a new access code for my corporate apps after full wipe, but if something goes wrong with root / backup or installing the OTA as Zip my device will be banned. Can't take that risk. So I will have to wait for official or Soak OTA.
But please let us know how that goes for you. Which device do you have? is it a PR XT1225 ?

BR XT1225. One time I flashed the 4.4 Stock ROM for the Turbo in my device and it worked allright, and since this time I will just do the same then update, I think it'll work the same. Still backing up (a lot of data here).
Keep us updated mate.

I haven't tried everything yet because I'm restoring my phone from a hardbrick.
My tries and findings so far:
First hypothesis) Flash KK service ROM KDF21. Directly: I knew it wouldn't work from the begining, since the frequencies for the radio cell are different, but tried anyway. Managed to update to Lollipop (KK -> KK VoLTE -> KK something -> OTA Lollipop) but without cell signal it's useless
Second hypothesis) Flash radio partition from RETBR Lollipop over Droid Turbo Lollipop OTA: didn't work too, don't know exactly the reason.
Third hypothesis) Flash Droid Turbo KK over RETBR KK, BUT without the radio partition, then update: worked till I tried to update (somebody already posted that flashing Droid Turbo KK without flashing radio over RETBR KK works). The system won't update probably because the VoLTE/Advanced Calling update needs to modify radio and finds a different radio partition.
Fourth hypothesis) To be tested yet ---- Update Droid Turbo KK to the latest (after VoLTE), flash radio partition from RETBR KK, then update with Droid Turbo LP OTA: haven't tried this yet because when I was flashing RETBR KK again I bumped at the cable and it was already faulty, so I have to unbrick my device to try again and I'm gathering the stuff to do that (no tutorial available, maybe I'll put something together sometime)
Edit: nvm, found this just a couple threads below: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/turbo-unbrick-t3139811

Wow. You are brave!
I'm happy right now with CM 12.1 (5.1.1 Lollipop on my two XT1225 phones. I'm actually in Brazil right now for two weeks, using them.
Hope 5.1 files Motorola releases will help for custom ROMs for our phones.
When Motorola does release 5.1 for the XT1225 (Moto Turbo and international Moto Maxx), the kernel source code is the main thing, but won't come for awhile.
First it's the OTA, then the full image, then a month or so later the kernel code. At least that seems to be the pattern.
