I’m cant update to KK.
I have two Razr M phones
The old one was running KK, since yesterday I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader!
I have a new xt907 which was running JB, rooted, Safestrap was installed .
I can’t update the new phone to KK.
I read every thread on update problems
I uninstalled Safestrap
I tried to flash every version of fastboot files with RSD lite and even the Universal script generator , which worked fine on my old phone when I upgraded to KK.
What do I try next?

You can use this & restore your data back when done-the steps are in the op.
If all you need is custom recovery. Rom manager works and will allow you to flash cwmr right from your rooted phone- no pc needed.

Motorola device manager says that there are updates available for my razr m. I'm wary to update "OTA" because I dont want to loose root/bootloader.
I'm pretty happy with the stock ROM (still called motoblur?) Is there a stock rooted rom with all the radio updates and security stuff thats the latest version?
The only other android phone I had was a sprint HTC EVO. That phone it seemed would always have a stock rooted ROM based on the newest updates. Is that the case with the RAZR M?
Thanks for the help and any info that can be provided guys.
Love this phone =)

Yeah, take the update, you'll probably need stock recovery to do it, and then re-root or you can just flash one of these: http://batakang.com/ftp/?dir=devs/mhous33/XT907 . The first zip can be flashed in recovery and the other is for RSD. You'll need to root these too, but that's easy enough if you're unlocked.
Okay I have safe strap recovery 4.33 or something like that. Where can I download the stock recovery?
I seem to remember clockwork was able to hot swap recoveries. Would that be a good method for swapping to stock then back to safe strap?
Also, do I just download the OTA in zip form? If so, where can I find it at?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks to everyone helping me with this.

Yes.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to do that. I've nosed around everywhere in safestrap and can't find where to go to flash stock recovery. You have been a lot of help already man thank you.

Could you just fast boot it... fastboot flash recovery "filename"... like you would twrp.... I really have no idea...

Thank you I'll try that.

Yeah, I haven't found a stock recovery.img that's flashable. Just flash the stock recovery.img in fastboot, exactly the same way you loaded up TWRP.
I took the ota with twrp installed and unlocked BL. It flashed and at the end twrp asked if I wanted to fix root, I selected yes and kept root. I was wary in doing it by reading the forums, afraid I was going to lose root, but it stayed. I'm now using stock ROM with arrrgh kernel and seeder. Its running extremely smooth.

I was cleaning up & deleted it. Fixed.
Where can I find arrggh kernal and seeder?
Okay so because of a previous response on this thread, I took the OTA. I had TWRP, root, and unlocked BL.
After the update, TWRP appears to be gone along with safestrap. I think my bootloader is still unlocked but I'm not sure how to tell.
Can someone please tell me how to get root back and how to get my customer recovery back? I am having such a hard time with this phone getting it to work properly. I remember with my EVO I had it down to a science but I've forgotten a lot of steps and many things have changed since then.
I need like a noob guide I think lol.
To reiterate, got latest OTA. My bootloader is still unlocked as far as I know. Need root and custom recovery back. Thanks XDA.
Next is flashing the arggh kernal and seeder I guess. First things first though.
Should have used voodoo. Now just fastboot cwmr img & flash UPDATESU both on my goodies page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327340
You can extract the img out of the zip.
Hi xda people I have a problem I dropped nexus 4 about 6 months ago and sold to workm8 which he fixed himself for 90quid. Anyway he ota updated to 4.3 fine it was locked and unrooted then he got bootloop in 4.4.2 ota update so I had a look for him. I was able to use wugs toolkit and stock to unroot to 4.2.2 which works then I tried locking bootloader and ota to 4.3 which bootlooped. I also try to revert ro stock and unlock to 4.4.2 but same any ideas? Out of ideas im guessing maybe nand block is not writable maybe? I did drop 3 ft. I googled but only found issues with nexus 7 ota

Did you wipe after you flashed the KitKat factory images?
Does the phone display the proper baseband and imei?
Edit I tried to wipe data and cache thru stock recovery after ota update to 4.4.2 still not 100% from wugs
Not sure I presume I did. I definetly did wipe before going to kitkat by booting custom recovery from wugs and then reverting to stock 4.2.2 I only tried ota update from there. I think when I then tried 4.4.2 same way that 4.2.2 worked I may not of. Guess ill try again at some point but he just wanted to play with new toy so I just put on 4.2.2 for now.
So is the ota flaky as I thought all data would be kept anyway. Thanks for advic3
Imei and baseband show on bootloader but not on hand at mo so dont know baseband it on.
I also tried sideloading stock rooted 4.4.2 zip but same bootloop and sure I wiped after and tried again may be 2rong getting confused I tried for few hours lol

Dunno if it's part of the problem, but remember flashing different versions, make sure that you are using the correct radio.
You can find the IMEI and Baseband in Settings>About phone

Thank you to everyone who helped with the new root and BL unlock ability on the 4.4 RAZR m.
I'm currently have the current ota 4.4 unrooted with a locked bk. The phone runs great mist of the time, but the screen goes blank and reboots at least once a day. Would it be a good idea to reflash to jb, and do a complete wipe of the phone? Are my old apps from jb maybe messing things up? Google maps froze up a couple times which had never happened before, so I'd like to fix that as well.
Thanks

You could root, back up necessary apps and their datas with titanium backup, do a factory reset, reroot after that, and restore your apps. Might get rid of the glitch.

His utility does not work for KitKat. It was made for an earlier version. But motopocalypse in Matts utility works if your phone is rooted on stock KitKat. Which is possible now.

So this is not my first rooted device but it is my first time rooting my Razr M since it got upgraded to Kit Kat. It is also my first time installing Xposed so some help would be appreciated.
Yes is safe to install xposed... here is a nice collection of modules ... Be sure to unlock your boot loader before the next ota is pushed as when the next ota comes we may not be lucky enough to find a root method...

Is unlocking the bootloader necessary if i don't plan on installing any custom roms? If i needed to return to stock i could just use RSD right?

When the next ota update comes you will lose root and if there isn't a root exploit for that version with an unlocked BL you can always flash SuperSU via recovery and get root back... And yes rsd is an option to return to stock to accept the next ota
