Root and bootloader unlock on stock KK - RAZR HD General

Hi,
Root works using @geohot kernel exploit. And when you root it you can use old bootloader exploit to unlock bootloader. Just unlocked my razr
Edit:
After reading some comments I decided to add quick walkthrough (there are other ones inside this thread, so you're not obligated to use mine:
1. Get root exploit either from the original thread or from my dropbox.
2. You can also download bl unlocker motopocalypse.apk from my dropbox.
3. Put those files on your phone.
4. Install tr.apk and motopocalypse.apk
5. Run tr.apk, wait till it reboots your phone.
6. Check if root is working, if it does then run motopocalypse.
7. Check in fastboot more if "status code" equals "3" (turn off your phone and start it with power button + vol up pressed simultaneously).
8. If it does, you can appreciate @geohut and @djrbliss work by donating to them.

Awesome stuff i saw this mentioned in the other thread but wasnt sure if it was the real deal. I'm locked on the previous jelly bean build so i'm guessing if i now update to kitkat i can then gain root and unlock the bootloader?

Happy Father's Day!

I was on stock jb, updated to stock kk, then used root exploit and BL unlocker.

Downloading the KK update now! I'm so excited just hope its not going to let me down.
Just to verify will this work on a locked xt926 running JB 9.18.94?

this is extremely lucky we get two chances to unlock our boot loaders every one who still has this phone better do this while they still can i almost think Motorola made it so we could unlock again because they felt sorry for us.:laugh:

I seem to be having problems updating to kitkat ota- after clicking install it rebooted and failed to update.

Okay thanks i'm downloading the xt926 version now.
When its finished do i just flash it using odin or is there something else i should use? Being stuck with a locked bootloader all this time has made me forget a few things .

As said in previous post use rds lite. Load xml file in rds and flash it. It should all go smoothly.

one made by Dan Rosenberg. You can find it in droid toolkits in dev part. Since trustzone kernel's smc handling in kk firmware is the same as in ICS and first JB it works like charm

Is it called Motoacolypse by chance?

Yes, motoapocalypse. Someone on droidrzr just tried it on his HD and it worked for him. OMFG!

Generic = unbranded. You can flash it to any C6602. Even when flashing branded versions, it will never put a simlock on your phone.
If you use Google Translate on that site, it says 'Not packaged simlock.ta'.

Good news.
I own my Z almost 3 months, but I never rooted it yet. That's crazy for me, before I was thinking, that root will be first thing to do. So I just couldn't find reason for root. I think, that I'll root it, when next version of android will be available (4.3 or 5) as custom rom, because after it's announcement I will not be able to wait for stock rom. Also may be I'll flash CyanogenMod, when it's camera will have stock's functionality.
So. I can't say anything about rooting this particular device yet.
flash it ...... 4.2.2 too smooth ....nice work . thx

Hmm...
So is it just the RAZR M XT907 that got this update? Or did the XT926 get the same thing? My thread I linked was for both, though I only had an XT926 to play with but as with all phones I unlock for customers I check for the most recent updates on the phone and I wasnt notified of any. I'm leaving the thread up because its useful to those who haven't taken it for the XT907, but could it go void because of the inability to downgrade the bootloader yet?

yes, you can reroot. since your bootloader is already unlocked, I'm assuming you have a custom recovery installed (TWRP or CWM)? if so, then you can flash supersu (search for it on XDA) via recovery.

Rom for Locked BL

No you can't. With a locked bootloader you can't just flash anything. However, you can use SafeStrap, after rooting, and flash some of older SafeStrap ROMs.

Yes, but make sure you flash back the stock kernel, as you will relock the bootloader when you restore your TA and soft brick your phone if it's still on the advanced stock kernel.

ahh, so i should make a only kernel ftf of my own 569 firmware and flash only kernel before i restore my TA-backup. But, do i loose root if i flash my own kernel only of 569?
Ok i unlocked my bootloader and rooted my device this way written by OP. No problem, i got root
Then i made my own Only kernel from my orginal ftf and flash it to remove DooMLoaRD's kernel we used here and it worked i still have root.
Proof:
And now i'm gonna relock my bootloader using my TA-Backup, crossing fingers and everything else.
EDIT:
YES YES Got ROOT and with "Locked Bootloader"
Thank you very much MMX35, DooMLoaRD, kingvortex and DevShaft

[Q] 183.46.10 unable to unlock bootloader

I have been trying for a better part of a day with no avail. I am hoping that someone would able to point me in the correct direction of what I am trying to do.
I used Towelroot to root the Razr M and installed SuperSU from the Play Store. It is fully rooted from what I can tell, but using the Motopocalypse APK and the Windows application with no success.
Any suggestions?
Can someone please confirm whether it's possible or not to unlock bootloader on this 185.46.10?
