I just purchsed a new Razr M with the newest OTA installed. From what I see there is no root or unlocked bootloader, is this correct?

You need to dig a little harder. There is a root process, based off of Motochopper. It's over on Droidrzr.com.

See my stickys
failure to root
I did try this before posting, but assumed there was a problem because it fails.
Where is system.img or system.img.ext4 which says it may help. I am familiar with rooting, but not where to find this.
I have a galaxy s4 att with nj4. Is there any way to unlock the bootloader and install lollipop? If not then why do developers develop lollipop if no one can flash them?

Amen. Then they will not tell you on their page where you download it, that it will not work with Locked Bootloader!!
not everyone has a locked bootloader.

I once had a unlocked bootloader but was forced into upgrade to NJ4 and sorry to say there is no escape from the locked bootloader. I'm now running a updated version of SafeStrap 3.82 and there are a few that are working to get lollipop running for our device. However the talk is a kernel problem and that may take awhile.
I just wish they would kick out a official lollipop update. I've been on T-Mobile for over 10 years and ended up with this device because I won it. Wish I could afford to get rid of it and move to a T-Mobile device period.

Nope. You can blame AT&T for that (since they requested the locked bootloader for their version of the device). I got lucky with mine; when I got it, they said they would update it there in the store, but I told them to hold off because I could do it myself. That was the only thing that allowed me to custom firmware on my phone - that update they wanted to flash was MF3.

Where are you located that you have nj6? Is that 5.0?

NJ6 was I believe an update that came out after 4.4.4. I believe 4.4.4 came out as a specific version and then a minor update to 4.4.4 came out which is NJ6. The radio from that upgrade is available somewhere around here to be flashed.
EDIT: I was wrong I believe. NK1 is the newest 4.4.4 build. NJ6 was the 1st 4.4.4 ROM out. NK1 was an update to that.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Any new news in NJ6 rooting yet

No
What if I flash to an earlier build first, like MJE or something? Shouldn't that allow root access?
bootloader is locked preventing you from going back.
Nothing past 4.4.2 can be rooted, you cannot downgrade to an earlier version to root.

But if you are rooted at 4.4.2 there is a way to get to 5.0 directly and stay rooted. I do not know how but somebody I just saw in this forum said he did it.

I think the link you gave is for LL, not for MM that he ask for.

MM can't be rooted. LL can. You have to revert back to LL in order to root. That's why he provided that link.

How do I find out if I have a 15 emmc phone? I was able to unlock the bootloader on PB1 and then upgrade to PF4 then I installed the PF4 stock deodexed but when I tried to install v85 of xposed my verizon screen stayed lol. I read on reddit someone unlocked it then put Cyanogen. Is this possible?
If u have unlocked once before then u r good

In the play store, download eMMC Brickbug Check. Your CID should start with 11 or 15. Sounds like if you unlocked the bootloader on PB1 and upgraded to PF4, you probably have 15.
So I just got an Asurion insurance replacement G900V, old one was rooted on 4.4
New one is PF4 6.0.1 and emmc starts with 11.
What can I do with it? can I root it at all?

I'm in the same boat as @cjschriver3. Is there a link with instructions to downgrade, root, then put it back to 6.0.1? Putting it back to 6.0.1 can be optional.

I didn't do a downgrade, I just rooted mine with this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370/
I guess you just need to find a suitable downgrade tutorial.

Did you follow the instructions under "Prepare to Root?" If you did, you downgraded to PB1 (LL, Android 5.0). I followed the guide yesterday and got root, but I don't wanna unlock my bootloader to upgrade to PF4 kernal and bootloader. Last time I unlocked the bootloader, I lost my 4G. Otherwise, the guide by @jrkruse is really good ^_^ Just have the issue of not being able to run safestrap to do the last step (Flashing Knox Removal). Guess I'll just start from scratch and flash the PB1 retail image and try again.

Hey Tango, just so that I am clear, are you saying you were able to root your S5 that was on MM with jrkruse's instructions?
EDIT:
I was able to root my Samsung S5 Galaxy on PJ2 with jrkruse's method
i have a g900v with the pg2 update(android 6.0.1) and cid 11. i've read through the various guides to get root, which involves downgrading to pb1 and rooting that. once i get pb1 rooted, is there a way to upgrade back to mm(pd1, p4, pg2 or pj2) the latest pj2 update and keep root? or will i be stuck on pb1 if i want to keep root?

As mentioned numerous times and throughout a good many top threads in the General Section of this VZW Forum, the answer is no if you have the CID 11 to be able to root or keep root once on MM

Hi, I would like to update my phone, currenty running PD1 on safestrap, I would update to QD1 but I dubt it is possible.
Can somebody clear me about? Thank you
You can update to QD1, but you cannot be rooted if you do.

Now I've known something more about. QD1 isn't yet done for cid11 locked bootloaders, so the answer is the QA1.
Thank you
