My First Droid Razr M Experience

I got a Droid Razr M for an upgrade, Worked great so i rooted it, Still worked great all that day, then i went to sleep and when i woke and the WiFi would not work!
The toggle switch turned a darker gray, When i tap it it turns on then in a split second turns back off.
I have done a Factory Data Reset and then i did a hard reset and then i wiped the hole thing out and re flashed it to its original state. Still would not work!
So as a last resort contact Motorola for support and they tell me that i had rooted my device and there is nothing they can do. I didn't say anything about rooting it so they must be logging all users data. (Invasion of Privacy?)
So i am back here again, Not being able to use WiFi, On a 2GB/M plan. f%$king peace of $#!+.
Nothing else is bad! Its just the wifi!?

It is probably your fault. A broken radio is your burden why do you think they do not want you rooting? The radio partition can get borked very easily. You need to renew it.
Do my restore. See my signature

There is a lot of verbal running on there but few steps. Read the rsd tutorial & get rsd to see the phone while you have the phone in bootloader - fastboot. Then stop & check in here again....

Basically can you just do a rsd restore then use the new motochopper? Can someone chime in to confirm?
For a locked phone?

I just realized you never went to my restore thread. That explains your confusion. It's link is in the middle of my goodies page. I put it in my signature now.

Ok, SaturnsVoid... so, first, sorry to hear about the problem. Motorola/VZ is giving you BS... rooting won't break your WiFi unless you did something or installed something that would...
What's your current system version?
Have you taken any OTAs since you had it? If not, you may still be able to unlock.
Also, may want to try using WiFi Connection Fixer on the Play Store (requires root...)
If those don't work, try PMing me... I can help you work it out...

New root method... Supposedly

So I just came across this tweet from droidx - https://youtu.be/QicDqTKb_sU supposedly this root method will work with any android phone 5.1.1 or lower. Lots of caution needed here due to the origin and amount of permissions needed, but he did show it rooting a Verizon note 4. I have the apk but haven't tried it as I'm using a prerooted image and haven't flashed back to stock.
http://www.kingroot.net
UPDATED INFO (5/13/15)
1) English version is available here through XDA (LINK);
2) This is a temporary root that doesn't survive a reboot (this is due to write protection); and
3) A permanent root solution (for the Note 4) is being worked on off of XDA (due to some thread circumstances) (reference is here).
Right now there is no word of anyone working on a Droid Turbo permanent root solution.
New perma-root discussion for the Note 4 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60713495
Update (5/18/15)
1) There is a new script out that will delete kinguser and install supersu instead! The link is here. Keep in mind that this script will need to be modified for our device, but according to the script authors it should be applicable.
2) It has been recommended to soft reboot the device using this app from the play store. There are a million of these type of apps available, but this one is being used on the Note 4 side.

Tried installing and Android warned me of "code that attempts to bypass Android security" text box and I clicked don't install.

Download the version directly from their website. I'm going to remove the English site link.
The official version doesn't have that issue.

I forwarded over to @JustinCase but he doesn't have time to dig into it.

Of course it attempts to bypass Android security, it's an app that gives you root.

I just read a ton of the note 4 thread, and many people had to try a few times to get it to work. Supposedly this is just a temp root method on devices with write protection. If you do get root, try a reboot and see if it sticks.

I'm not sure if this method in it's current form gets us anything over what we have now but it could lead to more.

Mine failed too

I've heard enabling allow mock locations might be necessary.
They are working on a perm method but nothing yet. This is very interesting.
FYI this doesn't install SuperSU or let it be installed.

Yeah, temp root. No write permissions.

Note 4 screen problem

Hi despite my limited rooting knowledge I thought I'd try a beta test for a Rom. I downloaded the kernel and bootloader I needed to flash and did these via Odin. I flashed the Rom and it booted fine, but now my screen will not work correctly. I have to press and inch above whatever it is that i'm trying to press, even with the s pen. When I realized this problem I wiped the phone using TWRP and flashed Cm again except the problem was still there once the phone booted. I have now wiped the phone and flashed stock 5.1.1 onto my Note 4 and the problem is still there. I'm really starting to panic now. Can someone help?

Downgrade to 5.0.1. If problem still persists your screen might actually be broken otherwise its a software problem.

The screen worked completely fine before I flashed the kernel so surely it's something to do with software? I'm scared i've broke my phone

Easily fixed. Give me a minute.

You have to Odin back to stock. You can't just wipe in factory recovery, it still leaves the eng kernel in place.

Well I was on official PG1 firmware , and followed the instructions on how to root I did it and nothing of my stuff got erased neither did I factory reset anything

I removed all traces of the icon in the imsservice.apk and it is still showing up. I'm going to dig into SystemUi.apk and see if it's in there. Will be busy until tomorrow catching Pokemon at a PG meet up, but I'll keep you guys updated.

Yeah that shouldn't be showing up if you're completely stock. IF you still have the eng-kernel then it'll be there no matter what you do unless you either edit the imsservice.apk file or odin back to stock factory rom.

There are threads throughout the forum about removing the rcs icon in the status bar. It shouldn't be too difficult to remove. I was able to do it but I was receiving an "imsservice error" every time I called certain people. Which lead me to believe it wasn't completely effective so I reverted completely back to stock (it was gone) then flashed the engkernel (which brought it back) and from there I simply considered it a small price to pay for root access. Wouldn't you agree?

It's there to remind you of root

That's just it it's recovery but it's not like custom recovery which is what you're after that's only done once you go into fastboot OEM unlock the bootloader and then Flash TWRP... That's the recovery you're looking for and it's not a factory option
