I have been trying for a better part of a day with no avail. I am hoping that someone would able to point me in the correct direction of what I am trying to do.
I used Towelroot to root the Razr M and installed SuperSU from the Play Store. It is fully rooted from what I can tell, but using the Motopocalypse APK and the Windows application with no success.
Any suggestions?
Can someone please confirm whether it's possible or not to unlock bootloader on this 185.46.10?

Cannot Unlock Bootloader
No custom Roms
I've already successfully rooted using king root. But just wanted to be sure whether I'll be able to swap rom for cm11. Your post made that clear.

bootloader unlock
At the moment you can not unlock the bootloader... you can root it...and from the reading up on it I did it doesn't look like the unlock will come soon either... I went through the same thing I feel for you ... best of luck...

Hmm...
So is it just the RAZR M XT907 that got this update? Or did the XT926 get the same thing? My thread I linked was for both, though I only had an XT926 to play with but as with all phones I unlock for customers I check for the most recent updates on the phone and I wasnt notified of any. I'm leaving the thread up because its useful to those who haven't taken it for the XT907, but could it go void because of the inability to downgrade the bootloader yet?

yes, you can reroot. since your bootloader is already unlocked, I'm assuming you have a custom recovery installed (TWRP or CWM)? if so, then you can flash supersu (search for it on XDA) via recovery.

Droid Razr M XT 907 (4.1.2 Build 9.8.1Q-66). I have root acces and cant unlock bootloader due to the latest update. So my question is can I install any rom on this particular "locked" phone?

No you can't. With a locked bootloader you can't just flash anything. However, you can use SafeStrap, after rooting, and flash some of older SafeStrap ROMs.

Look for anything that was built prior to when the boot loader was unlocked in early April.

If you are locked why do you have that build?
Also the newest stock deodexed is a good SS rom.

One cannot tell by the ss if you are on the previous build or the
new. Is that the result of the root method work around?
And you have not yet voodoo'ed & taken the ota?
Maybe the ota is not used in the final step to ...78.
Edit or whatever the next step is?

Just Go to settings enable developer options, Enable usb debugging , enable oem unlock <<<< remember to enable all these before going to unlock bootloader!
Just go to motorola bootloader site and follow the instructions!

Do you know what model your friend has? (xt1607- unlocked version or xt1609- Verizon model) If he has the xt1607 unlocked version then he may be doing something wrong in the process. If he has the xt1609 Verizon model then this method will not work on it because at the moment it is not rootable or bootloader unlockable.

Hi guys and gals,
I am ordering the Moto E4 right now and it comes unlocked already. Now do I have to root it, or since it is unlocked it is rooted already? Also since it is unlocked can I just use a one click root?
Unlocked means SIM unlocked. You must unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery and flash supersu through custom recovery

Are you trying to confuse the guy? SuperSU will not work. You have to use Magisk 14.0 or phh's superuser.
Has anyone tried getting root without TWRP?

I've been meaning to try the Magisk install with adb but haven't yet. I'll do that some time today.

There's only one correct way to unlock the bootloader, with the unlock code sent by Motorola.

This is about flashing stock, below you'll find flashing TWRP and Magisk i.e rooting. Links for TWRP, ADB and Fastboot and Magisk are included.
I'm about to make an own thread for this and expand it with things like unlocking, decrypting etc .

You don't have to flash stock (that part of the tutorial was written for another user).
After unlocking the bootloader your device will be wiped and if your build number is OPSS28.85-17-6 you should actually receive one more OTA up to OPSS28.85-17-6-2 (Feb 2019 security patch).
After unlocking and maybe getting that update you can flash the latest TWRP as usual and root by flashing magisk.zip from there.
