[Q] Few questions about Razr M

I am new to Razr m i have a few question.
1. Is my device bootloader unlocked
In Fastboot I can see
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0
2. Are there any files of razr M that i have to backup first before attempting Unlock and root. I have S4 before buying razr M as my second devices in which i had to backup the efs partitions so that's why i need to know if some backup of razr M is needed.
3.Whats the latest official firmware of Razr M. Currently my device is on 4.1.2.
Thanks

No the M is on 4.4.2 now upgrade via ota if you can... The devices is not boot loader unlocked if it says that but you can unlock the boot loader if you upgrade it to 4.4.2... And no you shouldn't have to back anything up if you ever wanna go back to stock there's always rsd lite...if you need help finding all the links let me know there posted everywhere around here...if the ota fails let us know
Edit: I went ahead and grabbed all the links for you twrp for our device. root method for 4.4.2 Motopocalypse app for unlocking the boot loader

What he said except once boot loader unlocked there is no going back on that..
You can flash over the startup screen to give the appearance of not having it unlocked though

How is 4.4.2 update compared to 4.1 because I have read some bad things about 4.4 update like poor battery life. Should I unlock the bootloader first and then update or unlock it after update.
Which custom rom u would recommend to use as daily driver for better performance.

You have to update to unlock the boot loader and yes my battery life took a significant hit. I installed app ops and then disabled allot of the security location and keep awake items and battery life was alright again. No idea if there is a good choice for a 4.4 rom on this device yet but cm11 is getting close.

Absolutely unlock the bootloader, absolutely upgrade to 4.4.2 , before the 4.4.4 update is live to all phones. If it is already available for you, manually flash 4.4.2 and use motopocolpyse to unlock the bootloader. You might never get the chance to unlock your boot loader again.

So there pushing 4.4.4 to the M... Where did you read this at... I was under the impression that the next ota was just going to be bug fixes and a security patch to block the root and unlock method

[Q] Update to KitKat and then BL unlock possible?

Device: Droid Razr M
Android Version: 4.1.2
System Information: 98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US
Build Number: 9.8.1Q-94-1
Bootloader Status: Locked
Root Access: Yes
Recovery: Stock
I bought the phone used and when i got it, it was on the same firmware mentioned above, i rooted it and removed almost all bloatware apps that came preloaded with the phone and now i am obviously not able to have my OTA update done.
My plans are to flash the same stock JB firmware via RSD process and when i am done with that (having a fresh phone without root), i will either flash 183.46.10 via the same RSD process or OTA this 4.4.2 KitKat update.
My question is that can i unlock my bootloader and root the set after the mentioned KitKat update?
If Yes then please guide me to the right method to do so.
Thanks in advance.
Got my answer after a few searches myself .. [emoji18]

That build is not unlockable, it's the same as .94.1. You'll need to update to unlock.

Just make sure you update to .10 not .15 if you update to .15 you will be without root or boot loader unlock

You will receive the official update, and you will be able to update it via OTA as long as you have the stock kernel and recovery. So if you have a custom kernel and/or recovery, reflash the stock ones. Otherwise, you can always download a modified OTA from XDA which will work on a modified system.
So my S5 updated last night. Root checker says not rooted. Xposed installer isn't supported anymore. How can I get back to rooted? Any threads out there yet?
Only update received was part one to prepare for lollipop. Second update will not install. I think I have to unroot back to original then root again. Where can I find the thread for that.

I updated to OA8 and need to root. Anything out there to walk me through this? Tried to flash NK2 but got stuck in boot loop. 3 attempts.

Good afternoon everyone , I am Brazilian and forgive my English gloogle translator. But yesterday wanted to install a custom rom on my phone (Motorola Razr M KitKat 4.4.2 ) , I did root it and installed an app called flashfly to flash a recovery , it rebooted and tried everything as you can imagine and not know what else to try. Here is a sense of how it is :
AP Flashboot Flash Mode (S)

eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device is LOCKED Status Code 0
Battery OK
Tranfer Mode:
Usb Connected
Failed to hab check for boot: 0 x56
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure
usb connected
Please help me have this phone to 4 days :crying:
You can't install a recovery on a locked bootloader. You might need to reflash firmware to clear the boot failure.

What system version are you on? If it ends in .15, you cannot unlock the bootloader. If it ends in .10, root using TowelRoot and unlock with the Motopocalypse app.

No, you cannot downgrade a locked bootloader. You are stuck.

Any root methods for 5.0 yet?

I'm upset at this point. I just attempted to downgrade to 4.4.2 yesterday but that didn't work (obviously), so I'm stuck. Has ANYONE found anything leading to how to unlock the bootloader for us? I would do it myself but I don't know how. Any support is appreciated.

Actually, this is the first method I tried to root. However, I've found a bootloader unlock that I think works. Once I do this I'll just flash 4.4.2, then flash a custom recovery and flash JasmineROM 5.1

Are you bent on rolling back? I updated my firmware to OF1, rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and installed TWRP. Then flashed the Jasemine ROM 6.1 (Lollipop) and it works great.
