[Q] Help me please!! - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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)
10.9B(*) (sha-61146a2, 2014-07-09 06:20:44)
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.

Hi thank you for the help guys , I downloaded RSD Lite version 6.1.6 and reflash the rom kit kat 4.4.2 stock rom when I did not believe it because the process had already done everything as imagined , but it worked and that's what matters . Now how do the process of unlocking bootloader ? I reflash the stock rom 4.1.2 and then unlock bootloader ? I want to install the rom lollipop CM12?

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.

I did, but even with the rom 4.4.2 ending in .15 can not downgrade to the stock rom 4.1.2 and then root and unlock the bootloader ?

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

It would be the same...
However you can also flash Doomlord's 4.3 kernel, then boot to recovery and flash the super su zip for root. The kernel from the leaked 4.3 rom seems to be the same as the kernel from the latest update.
Recovery is lost after going back to stock kernel. Root works.
The root works but Mobile Bravia Engine 2 still lost.

Hi guys!
Im trying this method now but I dont have stock 4.3 kernel. Anyone has it? Upload please coz Im stuck now
To Flash only the kernel from the new rom,
In the flashing options, exclude all (right box) except Kernel.

Yes, root works like a charm but you need to unlock bootloader and flash advanced stock kernel from .256 leak cuz it have recovery and flash the file from attachment, then you must revert to stock kernel and lock bootloader. Voila!

I can't unlock bootloader Orange locks bootloader and anyone can unlock. Then I am looking for method without unlocked BL. And I want to flash kernel from JB 1.257, root and reflash kernel from 4.3. But I'm not sure it is safe.

please don't try that !! it's not possible to use 4.1.2 kernel on 4.3 , it may brick your device .
Ok, thanks, bro. So I must wait for root for locked bl ;C

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.
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

[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?

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!

Lollipop roms are unstable with kitkat bootloader. When you restore the backup with twrp they don't boot first time. I want to use note 5 rom and switch to kitkat when gps is required using twrp. So, I require a kitkat custom rom working with lollipop bootloader
