[Q] Unlock bootloader on 9.8.1q-94

Hi,
i've got a new Razr M, which has from factory this version of system:
98.30.1.xt907.verizon.en.us
build: 9.8.1q-94
I think about if it's possible to make towel root on this version of system, unlock bootloader with motocalypse and then flash TWRP and then CyanogenMod 11, last M8 build which is for JB.
Or it is not possible in this version of system and only way it's take OTA and then root, unlock bootloader and then Cyanogen for KK?
Thanks very much for answers.

If you want to unlock your bootloader, you'll need to update to KitKat first. Then you can apply towelroot and Motopocalypse.

Ok, thanks, as i read somewhere, there this towel root is possible on all version of Android before 4.6. But i wasnt sure about unlock bootloader.
Thanks for reply.

Flash the official Kit Kat ROM first, then hit it with Towel Root and finally use Motopocalypse app. After that, the Fastboot utility in the bootloader will indicate Status 3 or if you just boot straight back to the OS, you will be greeted by the teal warning splash screen telling you that you have effectively destroyed the warranty by unlocking the bootloader.

This is so awesome !!!
I have 2 Razr M now unlocked =)
Not the most powerful phone but The best in size and usability =)

KK Update
Has the update been patched or is it still OK to OTA? Still running 4.1.2 (9.8.1Q-78-1)?
The reason I have never heard about any updates is I have had Motorola services disabled!

Kk update can be rooted and unlocked

Yes. Android 4.4 Kit Kat update can be unlocked. I unlocked mine.

Also, it is worth a note, Towel Root WILL work with previous firmware versions, however, Motopocalypse doesn't work on all versions.

This. Kit Kat update is the only version the Motopocalypse works on.

Hey everyone, I have a rooted locked bl JB 4.1.2 build 9.8.1a-78... I'd like to unlock pop and drop it. How do I go about upgrading to KK to towelroot when rooted? And is the exploitable version KK.10? Thanks!

Can't thank enough for the help, successfully upgraded, rooted, and unlocked. Got hung up on rsd lite, had to edit xml for firmware. Other than that, smooth sailing and the beer at the party is still ice cold.
Cheers!

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.
Sent from my GT-I9505

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.

Yes, see HOW-TO post in this section.
Make sure you get .10 instead of .15 or you're doomed.

[WARNING: XDA Premium 4.0.13 lacks Signature function - do not update]

You need to rsd to .10 I am unsure if you can update from where you are too .10 by ota
.15 can not be unlocked... Or rooted without being unlocked

[Q] Can't update to KitKat

So, I got this phone and it's running 4.1.2 (System version 98.18.78.XT907.Verizon.en.US) and I wanted to upgrade to KitKat but when I check for updates it says it's already up to date. What do I need to do to get the KitKat update?

Thanks! It worked

Even with locked bootloader?
Can I do the update to KitKat with a locked BL? I'm on the same 98.18.78 as the op and I have root on my otherwise stock 4.1.2 JB xt907.

yes you can update with locked bootloader, you can not downgrade with locked bootloader.
see [GUIDE][FAQ][KK] How to Root, Boot Unlock & More
I believe best option is flash VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_1FF.xml.zip with RSD Lite then unlock bootloader
do not use VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml it can not be unlocked at this time

WORKING!!! Thanks y'all!

Flashed VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_1FF.xml.zip with RSD Lite; file 15 which was system.img didn't want to load & kept telling me "fail" but I did NOT exit the Fastboot mode (don't like expensive bricks), I just kept trying until it worked on a different USB port.
Got root via towelroot.apk & then unlocked bootloader using motoapocalypse.apk.
Install TWRP recovery from http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/51942-recoverytwrp-2800/
Installed my apps & made a backup.
Works like a charm; thanks!

Thank you for updating to the unlockable version and taking advantage of it. Too many people ignore the warnings that .15 is not unlockable and beg for an unlock... Not gonna happen! Happy Flashing!

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 :

eMMC Info: Size 8GB

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.
