What is your kernel's build date?
If it's before June 3rd, then it CAN be rooted. If it's after June 3rd, then it CAN NOT be rooted.

If you haven't already, try using the temp_root modstring in Towel Root > https://towelroot.com/modstrings.html

Hi all, I want to know, if I will get OTA update of the 4.2.2, if my device is root and the bootloader is unlock.
Thanks!
You will get OTA, but you will loose root. Bootloader will still be unlocked though.

Just use OTA Root keeper and you'll be fine
Besides root I also updated the kernel with the video tweaks from https://plus.google.com/107979589566958860409/posts/9VtBVHP67Hg
Should I restore the stock kernel now?

Any advice would be much appreciated :good:

Uhh.... why?
The whole point of having an entire "Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" sub-forum is to be able to post distinct threads for each issue so that no one has to wade through hundreds of unrelated posts in a single thread looking for an answer to their question.
Trying to decrease the usefulness of XDA in order to karmawhore is not cool.
I would like to know too,I'm rooted on stock ROM but with Franco kernel
Thanks in advance

ok Then..but i do think there was a way for those on system version 98.18.94....i think it was just the 4.1.2 with 98.30.1 that couldn't. but it's easy enough to just update...with kitkat all you have to do is install 2 apk's and your rooted and unlocked..

You can root 98.18.94 with SafeRoot but you can't unlock the bootloader on that version. Your best bet is to update and unlock your bootloader while you're at it so you never lose root.
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.

Pouring my first beer!
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!
So I have Razr M and for some reason has been unable to update. I tried the verizon store and the guy working there tried many different things but nothing worked.
So now I am looking root and throw Cyanogen mod 11 on my phone. Only thing is I am still on Android 4.1.2 and System Version 98.15.66.XT907 since I cannot update for whatever reason.
So could anyone please point me to where I can find info on how to root this version?
Thanks for the help.

You could use RSD Lite to flash the official firmware.
Use Towel Root or Motochopper(Jelly Bean Only) to root.
If you want to flash a custom ROM, you'll need to unlock your bootloader. I believe the version you are on (.66) is unlockable, so is the latest version (KitKat). If this is what you want, the information is HERE but beware that unlocking your bootloader will void your warranty.

can you please tell me how to use RSDLite to flash the offical firmware on the phone? Will RSDLite require root?
Thanks.
It does not require root... There are several guides/videos online about how to use rsd just Google it... If you have any issues with the flash let us know...

if the bootloader is locked then it was locked before the update. if towelroot doesnt work then you are on too new of an update to unlock the bootloader, sorry.

As said above, if you didn't unlock your bootloader before updating, you're stuck.
You should have read through the forum first - updating to KK .10 and unlocking the bootloader in there is a good way, but you skipped directly ahead and there's no way of going back.

You're right - the reason Towelroot won't work is because the kernel is new and patched the exploit used in Towelroot. For now there's no other root method, you're gonna have to wait, maybe for months.
And Towelroot doesn't unlock your bootloader (Motocalypse does), which means even if there's a root method later, you still might not be able to unlock your bootloader, because the bootloader exploit might have been patched as well. So yeah, you're pretty much stuck forever.
Do a factory reset, install less apps, burden your phone less, and live with it for now.
