Although ROMs (notably CM 10, Vitreous) are being developed for the XT926 Dev Edition, it seems that the XT925 is being left out .
Anyone aware of any initiative towards the XT925?
There seems to be next to no development for the XT925 I'm giving it a month before i dump this and go back to the HOX

The phone is still very new guys, safestrap was only just made available for the locked down devices. Have a little patience. I'd expect to see a fair amount of work done with these phones.
Even without Safestrap, the bootloader can be unlocked, which makes the XT925 a nice candidate for playing with ROMs.
I'd LOVE to give CM10 a try on my device.
Yes, I am impatient! :laugh:
Would love to know as well, as I recently picked one up in Aus.

Hello. I do not own the Razr Maxx HD atm but I will be getting it in a month or two depending on a few things. I had a Nexus till the screen cracked on Memorial day. Now I am back on my Moto Droid X. My question is can the Verizon Consumer edition be unlocked? I have searched Google for a hour but I keep seeing conflicting information. I know there is a tool out for all Moto devices with Snapdragon processors. But I read it does not work for the Verizon edition. If that is the case do you think it will happen in the near future? Is it being worked on? Thanks
Edit: just read that it is possible to go back a firmware verison with the Verizon Maxx HD which I believe cannot be done without an unlocked bootloader. Still would like someone to confirm though
Yes, it's possible.

I am on Verizon with a consumer version of the RAZR MAXX HD XT926. I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery just fine.
Just do a google search for Dan Rosenberg's bootloader unlock tool. I tried putting the link here but they won't let me post links just yet.
Hopefully soon there will be a fully stable AOSP kernel done. All the current 4.2.2 ROMS have issues with the camcorder not working. I'm currently running Carbon Official 4.2.2 and it runs great and is my new daily driver. Overclocked to 2ghz as well
Hey there, I own the Droid Razr Maxx HD. I was wondering does anyone know if the Droid Razr getting the new android Kit Katt update??? Also does anyone know how to root the Droid Razr HD Maxx??
We don't even have 4.2 yet
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure anyone knows exactly who is getting the update, since it hasn't even been released. I'd bet that there will be ROMs based on it though sometime after it is released. Edit: like the above poster we still haven't even been officialy updated to 4.2, then their is 4.3, so we have awhile to go.
How to root Jellybean 4.1.2 for Droid Razr HD
There are a few videos on how to do it but that is the one I used. Tomsgt123 has alot of great videos for the Droid Razr HD. :good:

Kit Kat to is reportedly being available for even older devices so I see no reason why it can't. Rumor is Google wants to get kit Kat to as many devices as possible.

I hate agreeing with rumors, because so often they are wrong. But, hypothetically, if it were available to older devices, a lot of carrier influence would have to be side stepped. Secondly, if it were that easy to get on older devices, CM would probably have a stable stock build fairly soon. At least that's what I hope. I have my device rooted and unlocked but I'm still on stock because of all the issues with 4.2 and 4.3 that I've seen. I'm really hoping Kit Kat changes that.
only hope that
Does anyone know if a custom recovery is coming and if development beyond JCase's root exploit is occurring?
Give it time.... Locked bootloader is the issue..

no one knows... not even Jcase or MattGrolof (sp?) LOL
if you've rooted and downloaded the Xposed Installer.. install and activate GravityBox... if you haven't already.
It gives A LOT of features to the phone that we are used to from all the various roms weve used over the last few phones. (CM, Elemental X, Xenon, Carbon, SlimBean, etc., etc.) All on stock LOL im almost tempted to say screw unlocking the bootloader and not installing a custom rom because I have the stability and battery life of stock..but with the features I loved on my Razr HD but without random reboots.. I just want some inverted system apps like Contacts, and MMS...but i can wait LOL

Keep in mind that, although the DE for the Maxx exists, no one has it. I ordered mine day one, and it hasn't shipped yet.
I feel you on the impatience though.

No problem at all..i know we all want stuff to come out the day the phone does..thats why I waited so long to get my RazrHD because I wanted to unlock the bootloader and rom it from Day 1 LOL but I also knew that these phones Ultra/Maxx/Mini/MotoX are pretty much vanilla android out of the box.. so there isn't much modification needed to make them close to AOSP phones..
Got my DE Maxx today and Dhacker has CWM and TWRP on the Moto x thread. If development picks up for x and ultra you will have to watch both threads as it seems people are leaning towards the x, however it is nearly identical software to the maxx so they will most likely be interchangeable. I.E. the moto x CWM works on my DE Maxx.

Yeah!! Using moto X's CWM on my Maxx and works perfectly!!
Is there someone who can clear as to how similar both the devices are and up to what extent we can flash moto x's files?! I mean could we flash custom ROMs as well, is by switching kernels or something?! Or is it just gonna be like a leap of faith?!

Hey community! I am currently and sadly a GS4 user with AT&T. Have had to deal with safestrap which im thankful for, never a full unlock. Just purchased a G3 off swappa. Definitely looking forward to having full control over my device without restrictions.
Read around and rooting is obviously easy. Custom recovery is what im going to be looking into next. Whats your current rom if running custom? If your still on stock, why?
Cheers

Hello and welcome! I think you'll find the G3 to be a great device, especially now that there is development for it. I am running my Candy5 ROM. It's based on CM12 with some goodies added. Give it a shot once you get TWRP flashed. You won't regret it :good:

Awesome. I did check that one out. And is already downloaded. I will be playing around with that one and of of course cm12.

I'm still using cloudy ROM from the international thread. It is based off of the international stock kit Kat build. Everything works perfectly.

I was exactly like you except still had my s4 on mf3 firmware (which I passed down to my gramps): I got my g3 a lil after black Friday and love it. I'm running on pa 4.4.4 still since the battery life is phenomenal and basically no bugs. I do plan on going onto cm12 in the near future I think since its gone 'official' a few days ago. Btw I rooted mine with purpledrake

I'm a little confused. Wasn't the whole bumping thing website removed? Can development still happen if roms and kernels can't be bumped?

[Apologies for the piggyback]
I just got an LG G3 a couple of days ago and still using my first Note (i717) as a tablet. I cannot believe how smooth and fast this thing is, originally I was going to get the Note 4 but I'd rather spend $1.09 than $249.99+tax. So here I am an LG G3 member and it's good to be back on the forums with a fresh device.
Until At&T stop acting like a little-baby-b***h and locking their devices, you can try the available tools and tricks to get by.

I also just got this phone and all I can say is wow. I had a S5 for a little white but I must say I honestly think this phone blows Samsung's flagship out of the water in all ways. Best phone I had to date.

My Droid Maxx (bought new) will complete 2 years next month.
I try and use my phones for at least 3 years.
Now, my device is bootloader unlocked (thanks to Sunshine) and pretty happy with it.
Currently I am using Exodus ROM (5.1.1 - not the latest nightly though) and wondering what other unlocked users of this great device are using.
There are no updated ROMS - here I am referring to security updates such as this one which came out yesterday
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-02-01.html
This leaves all our devices vulnerable to the scores of vulnerabilities which are unpatched (a) since Motorola abandoned this device on 4.4.4 and (b) the developers stopped supporting since October/ November.
A fantastic device, without security patches is not quite what we would expect, but perhaps we need to live with it.
I'll be (attempting) to build CM13 for the Droid Maxx (XT1080). Currently running CM12.1 nightlies, on Feb 1, 2016 security patch. Let's see how CM13 goes then I'll be excited to see how long this battery will run I'm definitely planning on using it for a little while (I just purchased used off eBay a week or so ago, and another for parts to replace broken screen, internals if necessary Anyone interested in trying to "rebuild" a dev community for this device?

This is awesome.
I would be happy to participate in any way, though I am not a developer and this device is my only phone right now.
I could look for a used Droid Maxx, but with the limitations on the bootloader version, it is difficult to find an unlockable Droid Maxx with 32GB ROM.
This is one hell-of-a-beast device and does not disappoint me.

Completely understandable, plus with $25 per bootloader it could get spendy heh. Once I work out the kinks in my build (failing something with selinux :/) I'd be happy to share it over here, but no promises (as usual with unofficial nightlies)
i have a 32gb maxx with unlocked bootloader. Im in the same boat too. looking for newer roms and plan to keep this phone for a while. I was looking into compiling, but i dont think i have the free time to play around with that. I would be happy to test some builds if you get it up and going.

Yeah, building cm13 is being a PITA but cm12.1 is running nearly perfectly (nightlies from CyanogenMod).. I'll definitely post if I get a build if 13 running
How did you get Sunshine to work? Says it's not compatible with my device.
edit: Oh, you must've unlocked at SU4-21 or earlier right?

Droid maxx works nice, but Verizon is being a PITA getting a new nano-SIM
Didn't know there was a Droid MAXX specific forum, lol. Anyway, been running CM13 for about a week now and I like it so much I gave my iPhone 6s to the wife and came back to the MAXX full time. It can definitely last another year!

Sunshine is how I unlocked mine, but I didn't take any updates when I got the phone
I read some where that it is not possible to unlock boot loader at Su 6-7.3?
It is useless to be at stock while Motorola discontinued the updates for Droid Maxx (officially announced).So why not discover the new custom rom experience?
