I went back to stock. Hit the wrong button and installed the update. Now I am not rooted and hate everything!!! Any idea how long before I can root this poor phone so I don't hate everything about it and on it?:crying:
There's a good chance there won't be another exploit found. This Is thy you have to protect root.

There is talk of a method to partially flash back to previous build using rsd, root, then update again over on droidrzr.com I will try to find it and link it for you.

Rsd lite is a Motorola program used to flash xml files.
I was wrong, it wasn't droidrzr.com, it was right here on xda.

realbbb is a very sharp guy and former Bionic owner who went through all of the "Cheescake" leaked update issues we had with that device while Motorola was struggling with the baseband firmware in the early rollout of VZW's LTE network.
This workaround is a version of the method we used when you got stuck on a non upgradeable test leak and had to revert to a prior version to move forward.
It is exactly the sort of creative thinking that is required in situations like this when you find yourself stuck by unforeseen circumstances.
This can easily and safely be tested by anyone who is currently on the update and has lost root, since the full XML.zip was released shortly after the update went live last week.

So I just got this phone and it already has the latest OTA update. Is there a root for this yet? If so, direct me to it as I see links for only the previous version.

If you got the latest OTA update on your phone already, there currently is no root for that version yet. The latest OTA update made downgrading to ICS undoable. So, if you're on the newest OTA, you'll pretty much have to sit tight until it's possible to root on Jelly Bean itself.

I saw that thread before I created this one, but it wasnt definite that it would work with 926 and 4.1.2, the latest OTA.

That only works on the developer edition according to the third or fourth post. There is currently no root method for 4.1.2.

Yep..thats the conclusion I came up with.
Just for future reference to anyone holding out on installing the update: I used voodoo ota root keeper to transfer my root across the update and that worked great!

Even for those who are on 926, 4.1.2 latest OTA that have never rooted their phone? From what I read, nothing is avail yet.
I too am on the lookout for a root method for version 926. Seems like the Razr Maxx Hd had even more bloatware than the prior Razr Maxx.

Yea... I had a Razr Maxx and used Titanium Backup to remove lots of it. Looking forward to doing the same thing with Razr Maxx Hd
I also used Titanium Backup to freeze all of the bloatware. I took it a step further and created a filter and labels for frequntly used apps that eat up system resources and data. For example, I would unfreeze as needed Google Play store and Maps etc., then refreeze. I saw a huge increase in battery life etc.
Anywho... hopefully a root method is on its way soon.

Hopefully? Iord I've been praying for it and even trying to pay for it lol. I was so focused on getting the 4.1.2 update that I rushed it and found out a day or few later as other people got it that you can't even downgrade to previous versions (son of a Bi***....) so I seriously regret taking the update as now we are on a long waiting list that may never come...
Droid RAZR HD (current)
LG Optimus One P-504 (For Sale)
Received Droid HD as a replacement device from Verizon b/c the Razr M they kept giving me was constantly dropping 4G connection. The HD they sent me already had JB 4.1.2 on it. Has anyone successfully gotten Root? I have already tried RSD Lite to downgrade, fail, tried Matt's Utility, fail......Looking for some advice?

No rot found yet for that update. Always smarter to wait and make sure you can keep root before updating. Or at the very least try using OTA rootkeeper prior to updating.

Possible Fix
Shouldn't he just be able to flash back to stock ICS (With MattlGroff's Utility) and attain root, then re-update?

Bootloader unlocked! So there may be a way soon enough to get back root or to downgrade from 4.1.2.

Is there a way to reflash stock 4.1.2? I have had problems ever since the 4.1.2 OTA came. I got the latest OTA, and things have gotten worse. I Would like to restart with 4.1.2, root and then get the latest OTA. I realize the latest OTA is only a few days old, but is that possible? I have already tried a Factory Reset, and that has not helped. I want to wipe everything and reflash.
I pm you the link for droid RAZR utility try out that it will help you... But you want to make sure if can revert back to older version..

Thanks. I found that utility on xda, but am looking for guidance on whether it can be used on the latest OTA.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk HD
I'm sure if you give it a couple weeks once more people have gotten the new update the utility will get updated. Or you could always test it out yourself
Just keep an eye on the thread for the utility. That's what I would do anyways.

Hey all,
Now that I have my phone rooted and unlocked, is it ok if I accept and install the latest OTA update? Is there any additional steps I need to take before or after?
use voodoo from the market to protect root and temp unroot while updating. also you have to be stock, with all the bloat apps installed and not frozen, or the update will fail.
ultimately the update will likely fail at the end anyways, but as long as it updates the baseband, that's all you really want out of it anyways.
Ok thanks. I will give it a try. Sounds like it will probably fail. LoL

i have taken the update about a dozen times no problem, and didn't loose root one time.
matts utility reverts to before the update (including the baseband), so there is really no danger as long as you are already unlocked.

You can't unlock that, and probably can't root it, yet. However, there is root exploit over in the Razr M forum that might be getting developed for the HD. Swing over there and check it out.

Thanks, Actually the main issue my brother is facing is that he says screen randomly turns off and never come again even though phone is on and working, then you have to restart the phone in order to make it work. What could cause this issue?
Not true follow this get it on 183.46.15 you can root it now https://plus.google.com/110048324100895467308/posts/bUhxCgAj594
