Casual root doesn't work on this edition? Is that a touchwiz only root method or something?

So motochopper root method does not work?

Has anyone tried mobile Odin with everoot?

I thought there was a post about 4.3 from the Google Play edition already being ported to the I337?

I have SuperSU installed, I will try a root explorer to check out if it actually works.
On another note, does anyone know how to get to the app switcher? it seems to be removed from the home button.
EDIT: SuperSU does not work at all, still no way to root. I read that it was due to binaries needing to be updated for the new version.

I will check it out in a moment to confirm if that is how it is done!
EDIT: Confirmed!

I'm seeing the ROMs for the I9505, can that one be flashed or is there one specifically for I337 yet? As well, right now I have the KT-SGS4-TW Loki'd kernel with the 4.2 GE ROM on it, would I just be able to flash the 4.3 over that, or should a different kernel be used? And finally, more of a beginner question, loosing root won't mess with the custom recovery, will it? I'll still be able to access TWRP to flash something different?

The 4.3 download named "Android-4.3-I9505GUEUBMFP-Deodexed-I9505.zip" appears malicious <-- my pc says this is malicious. can anyone else confirm this is a safe download. this is from the "ATT-sgh-i337 android development" section of this forum. Thx in advance. yes I know it says "I9505GUEUBMFP". Which is why i posted what forum topic its from.

Running it here.. No problems setting up or using. Running great

Is it me or does UI looked liked they ripped off Cyanogenmod UI? Or Paradroid? Seeing most of the SS, it looked like what I was running on my Inspire 4g.

Can I update to 4.2.2?

Howdy,
So I'm considering updating my trusty XT907 from 4.1.2 up to the new update 4.2.2.
I"m running stock ROM unlocked with Motochopper, using Safestrap 3.12. Removed a mass of stuff, been running it steamlined and smooth. I'd like to update though from what I've read. I've always ran ROMs for years now, but at this point in my busy schedule I can't keep up with the development, and I"m outta the loop. The last ROM I ran on the razr m before stock was the Energy ROM.
My question is, now with bootloader unlocked am I safe to update to 4.2.2 and keep root? Innocent question, hopefully.
Thank you -

With an unlocked bootloader, you can flash TWRP and install CM10.1 from http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29

from my understanding, CM10.1 by dhacker is essentially stock. all others are custom variations.

Stock has only gone as far as 4.1.2. If you want 4.2.2, you need to run AOSP.

Many thanks for the tips! However, this last one made me a little more confused - are you saying to be rooted with 4.2.2 I need to run AOSP roms?
Apologies but I just upgraded to the razr M after running my beloved Droid Incredible with CM10 forever -- absolutely loving it but entirely confused by the rooting options.
My ideal is to have the 4.2.2 update, and to still be unlocked and rooted, with no additional rom's, and with whichever recovery is needed to achieve this. Then I'll start having a look at dhacker's and the Orion looks good too. But I just want the stock 4.2.2 with root access first - if possible.
Many thanks for the clarity --

if you want to get to 4.2.2, you'll need root access and an unlocked bootloader. stock 4.2.2 is AOSP (it's available in the development section).
the latest update (from what I have read) is NOT 4.2.2 update - I believe is to lock the bootloader. so folks are recommending to NOT accept the update.
I would advise to root, unlock, install TWRP. From there, you can choose your flavor of ROM (keeping in mind that 4.2.2 has not been officially released for the M).

Sorry, I confused things a little, and JCO's post wasn't very clear either.
If want you to run 4.2.2, you need to run an aftermarket ROM. The M has only been updated to 4.1.2. So, you won't find a stock based ROM that's 4.2.2. JCO refers to CM10.1 as being "stock", but it's not. It's the most basic AOSP ROM. As a comparison, the M's stock ROM is Motoblur based.

well, CM10.1 is the closest to stock (appearance-wise) of all the after market 4.2.2 ROMs available (to my understanding, there is no themeing on it). but I think there a few tweaks in it (hence AOSP).

Yeah, CM10.1 is pretty bone stock. I just wanted to make sure there was no confusion with the term "stock." I read our posts, and it would've made a lot of people crawl into the corner, crying.

Excellent, many thanks! That was confusing me also - seeing an update available for my xt097 but reading that 4.2.2 is not available for the razor m - I was wondering what the update was.
I'll be flashing to TWRP tonight - cheers again -hopefully no issues flashing over safestrap. That was neat tho - being able to pick between ROMs to run.

If your already unlocked you never really loose root ever
And the latest verzion update breaks the root method and won't let you unlock if your still locked it doest relock you I think that's impossible

I agree 100%. I just got my daughter a Moto G GPE and since there are no working recoveries out for it yet, I couldn't flash a custom ROM. However, with root and Xsposed/Gravity Box, I can set up everything she (and I) need on her phone. In some ways, it makes custom roms obsolete for casual users.

+1. It is one of the best things that happened on Android lately

Can someone please link me to a root method for KitKat 4.4.2? Thanks

Just install CWM recovery on Moto G and after flash superuser.zip with it. Google for the rest of the information and download.

After trying two other methods that didn't work on Kitkat 4.4.2 I tried COOPTX method and it worked. Do not try to get TWRP recovery because it is buggy.

Install TWRP, and boot into it. Reboot the phone with TWRP it will ask about root, apply it, boot the phone and run the superuser installer.

I like the looks of Gravitybox but it seems to be messing up the magnet-activated wake-up of the phone when using the flip cover - at least with the settings I am using for this module - so I had to deactivate the module for now until I can find out if there is a solution with different settings ...

[Q] ROM's for Locked 4.1.2 - 98.30.1

Lost the unlocked/rooted X907, had to replace it with a retail version as I was traveling and needed something immediately and wanted to stick with the X907 - as opposed to getting an older one on ebay which I'm probably going to do now anyway just to have a backup. It's the 4.1.2 - 98.30.1 - as I understand it I'm stuck with it locked. I've rooted it with the SafeRoot script.
I've searched a bit and found a few leads, but was wondering if there were any others in a similar situation that make a recommendation for any 4.1.2 ROM's, and/or provide more links on the subject. It seems to me that there would be many who might have the similar misfortune for whatever circumstance. cheers -

My fav is LS 2.37, it works on slot 1 just fine. I have a collection of old 4.1 custom ROMs that will work if you want, but LS 2.37 is the best and still findable without much difficulty

Cheers - I will give that one a shot.

SS compatible ROMs:
-Early builds of CM10 (way early, like at the beginning of thread early)
-DeadCalm was SS enabled, not sure if it was modified for an unlocked bootloader only
-Energy is SS enabled and never altered for unlocked bootloader
-Flying Jelly was SS enabled and I don't think it was modified to work only on an unlock bootloader
-Eclipse v1.2 was SS enabled, I don't think it was modified for unlocked bootloader

Hmm. Couldn't get LS 2.3.7 to boot, installed on rom slots 1-3, SS 3.1.1 with wipes and resets. Blank screen. I'll give these others a shot then try and diagnose what's up.

[ROM][STOCK] Modded Stock ROM

Hello guys. I know people have been wanting custom ROMs for this device. I cannot give that, but I can give a modded stock ROM with Shaky156's kernel and touchscreen fix for android 4.4.2. It comes rooted, with OTA disabled(so no need to worry about receiving any updates. IF you do get OTA, let me know and I will fix it. It is a flashable zip for CWM/TWRP.
Install Instructions:
Boot into Recovery(TWRP/CWM)
Do a Factory Reset
Flash ROM
Reboot and Profit
Link:

I will try to keep this as updated as possible, may not happen but I will try.

Many thanks!
