Hi all. I don't want to come off as a total noob, but I'm sorry if I do. I have a Motorola Razr V XT885 with Bell Mobility in Canada. I've searched the web for a way of rooting and unlocking the bootloader on my device and have found little to no help. I know this isn't a popular phone as it's only available in Canada and some parts of Asia, but is there a way to root and unlock the bootloader? From the sounds of things there isn't a Jellybean update coming any time soon and I would really like to flash a custom rom on this thing. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

This worked for me... I still do not know how to get a recovery or custom ROMs on mine, If you figure it out, send me a message.

I figured out how to get custom recovery, you download Boot Menu Manager from the market it works perfect, I managed to boot up a XT910 ROM on it but lots of bugs as its not for our phone, just need a smart person to make us up a ROM
Worked for my XT885. Thanks

Hello Guys...
first of all, excuse me for my poor english... sometimes I don't know the exactly word I need.
Anyway... I'm from Brazil, and the Razr HD just arrived here. My problem is the following: I bought one... but it has customizations from the cell phone operators (Like Verizon and other, in my case is from Claro, yes the mexican one).
I want to eliminate these customization, and I think that the best way to do this is root the phone, unlock the boot loader and load a stock rom, insn't it?
but that's my problem. I can't find the stock razr hd's rom in any place... Recently i found the Xoom2 stock room, so I imagine that's there already a Razr HD rom somewhere to download.
If anyone could help... I'll be grateful!!
Thanks a lot and happy 2013!!!
P.S. I don't think "Stock Rom" is what I need... reading more I found that stock Rom is the pure android... what I need is the room without any customization, the oficial motorola released rom... did you understand what I mean?
Thks again!

Please post questions in the Q&A thread. As for terminology, "stock rom" means how the phone is when it's first turned on. All the different cel service providers specify provider specific apps to be added to the rom. Motorola doesn't release an unbranded rom. Also, the radio is set specifically to a region for LTE access (not all radios are on all the time, as that would drain battery like crazy).
Best way to get what you're looking for... Check the "debloat" threads in Q&A and look for which apps can be frozen safely. You will have to root and install an app like root uninstaller to do so.

Thanks a lot for your answer... I think that i was locking for a Retail rom... my ideia is to install a razr hd rom that is "clean" without any customization...
i found this site... but I'm not quite sure if is this what I need... my idea is to download the Retail Brazilian, root the phone... use the RSD Lite to put it on the phone... then do the normal procedure... will it work?
thanks a lot!

I too got a XT925 from Claro and did exactly what you described. It worked perfectly.
1) Rooted the phone
2) Downloaded retail ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943879
3) Used RSD Lite 6.0 to install the ROM
You can also freeze the unwanted apps (iJogos, iJogos HD...) , but I think you can only remove the Claro logo during boot by flashing a retail rom.
Best of luck!

Actually, in Brazil you can buy unbranded, retail phones. I think this is different in the USA and Europe, where phones are only sold through operators.

You looked everywhere but missed the Atrix 2 forums?!
Btw, bootloader for a2 isn't unlockable yet.
But you need not unlock bootloader to flash custom ROM.
You just need root and a proper recovery. Search for atrix 2 forums and come over there! You have many stuff to read and learn before flashing stuff.
I'm from a2 community too
Would u mind posting a link or explaining howbto do it for me please

Hi, this is the firs time a see a developer saying that if i want to flash a custom Rom in to Motorola Atrix 2 I dont need to unlock the bootloader, I having been waiting for long time to some one who create a way to unlocked it.
But I didnot know that if I have my atrix 2 rooted and a custom Recovery installed on it I can flash a custom Rom,
is that posible? who had flashed a custom Rom only been rooted and with a custom Recovery installed on it?
How long will it take to wait for the root of this phone?
I have bought one but it really annoys me cuz it just can't be rooted. and you know the true interesting thing about android.
Anyone interested in find a way of root for this phone?

To gain root, first we need a custom recovery.
I have been trying to contact people on here that seem capable of making a custom recovery for this device, but so far no luck.
I have also been watching the Chinese forums for this device as well, but nobody there has a custom recovery yet either.
It will happen in time.. we had the same process last year with the M7 dual sim version. in the end we even had Enlish Roms flashed onto the devices... Im sure the same will happen here eventually.

Let's hope so ,but seriously people should avoid buying dual sim version of phones 'cuz it's always a trouble...
Hi, when you get English roms flashed on to the unit, does it mean you get OTA updates for that rom too?

Do you mean when you flash a custom rom, can you then get OTA updates from HTC? The short answer to that is no, you cannot receive official updates for a custom ROM.
If you mean that you wan't original ROM in English, then the original Chinese ROM does have English language, and with that you can of cause receive OTA updates. I think all original HTC phones have English language.
Hey Guys, so I purchased my Maxx on release day and I'm currently on 4.4.4. I was just wondering if there was a root method available for me as I would like to have native tethering again.
Thanks for the help!

Fair enough. However, if your BL is unlocked and you are rooted, I doubt you are that much of a junior.
That being said, its pretty hard to have an answer about a update that hasn't even been released yet.
Basically, once it hits, some will take it for the team, either on purpose or on accident, and information will be flowing...until then its only speculation.
I'm sorry if I came across like a DB.

Unlocked BL means you always have root
Hi,
First of all i would like to apologize to everyone on this section since i am really not good with sony.
So i have a device which has a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked. As the title says i am looking for custom roms or rooted roms with bootloader locked. As much as possible i have searched the development thread but cant find any.
So can anyone give me a link or something of a recommended rom for locked bootloader?
Thanks

As far as i know, that i've observed here, Revolution HD is the most popular (the one made by yash989)
Being stuck to locked bootloader sucks, my friend's SP is locked by carrier. i understand the feeling :/
