Is that possible? All the root tools threads I seem to be able to find on here and rzr forum have posts that say it doesn't work with the latest OTA update. Am I missing something here? Is Motorola so actively patching everything that there is no way to get root if the device has the latest OTA update?
Thanks.
Root is still possible by rolling back to the older firmware but you can't unlock the bootloader.

I just picked up a brand new XT925 running 4.1.2 and all the methods I tried failed
Then I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241788 and bingo rooted and unlocked bootloader
You don't need the monster download the Lite edition is fine
Good luck :good:

Oh, since it is a 925 (probably international edition), can't I just ask Motorola to unlock the bootloader? https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
Also, how does one roll back to older firmware? RSDLite and flashing older stock, like on Atrix HD?

Nice, I will give this a try. However, why the 900+ MB Lite? Wouldn't the 3 MB Ultra-Lite work for just rooting and unlocking the bootloader? Or did you have to use the stock stuff as well?
Also, did you try the Toolkit 4.0? Did that fail as well? As far as I can see, both use the same methods for unlocking and rooting!
Cant remember now, I tried all the others and none worked and I stumbled across it
I think the micro download was not enough (sorry cant recall what extra was needed) but I remember on the micro the numbers on the menu did not match with the commands (look at the batch file) but the normal was fine
Is yours the developer edition? Otherwise no they won't unlock it.

Currently, the Photon Q 4G LTE, DROID RAZR M(Developer Edition), DROID RAZR HD(Developer Edition CDMA-LTE), MOTOROLA RAZR HD (Rest of World -UMTS/LTE), MOTOROLA RAZR HD (Rogers Canada - UMTS/LTE) and MOTOROLA RAZR i are supported by the Bootloader Unlock site.

You should have received an email with your Unlock Key. If you did not, check you spam folder. Inside the email is a UNIQUE_KEY, a 20-character alphanumeric code that you will use to unlock your device.

Since Motorola announced that KitKat will be coming to the HD, hopefully another boot loader unlock will follow. My phone was stolen and the Assurion sent me a replacement that was already upgraded to latest OTA.
Something a lot of us are hoping for.

Not trying to be a party pooper but if anything changes with the boot loader its only going to be even harder to crack... that's the point of an update they're not going to make stuff easier for the dev community, especially not on a Verizon device haha as for the rest of us, we can always unlock through moto (xt925)

XT925/ "international version" can be unlocked through Motorola just fine, the only device locked down is the XT926 and I doubt that's going to change anytime soon (officially anyway) and it sure won't be any easier to unlock it after an update

The 925 should be able to be unlocked through the Moto website.
so just to be clear the bootloader doesn't necessarily have to be unlocked first via moto site...i can use this toolkit 4.0 utility that has an option to unlock bootloader is this accurate?

I think it depends on the system version, but I'm not really sure for the 925. For the 926, you had to be on the version that was two OTAs ago to be able to unlock. For the 925, you can try Motopocalypse, the worst it will do is fail. If it doesn't work, then the website should work fine for you.

Honestly, I'm kind of biased. I just got the Razr M in January and it was my first smart phone, ever. So, naturally, I was impressed because it was such a drastic improvement over my dumb phone. I purchased my HD used in September and I like it even more than the M. The battery life is noticeably better and the screen is better. It also has a lot more memory than the M, which I think accounts for why it feels a little quicker than the M. The ROM and processor are the same as the M, though. Luckily, I was able to unlock the bootloader on the M and I purchased the HD unlocked, so my custom options are endless. It wouldn't hurt to boot it and see how you like it, prior to modifying it.
Exactly what I was getting at...I was wondering in terms of customizing it. I guess being somewhat familiar with the Samsung method was wondering how easy it was for moto cuz it sort of sounds more complicated or maybe it's just unfamiliar...u know what I mean?

Yeah, I know what you mean. My first experience with Android was my Tab2 and it was really easy to unlock. I didn't see which model of the HD you picked up. If you are international, you are good. Yes, it is kind of a pain to unlock through the Moto website, but if you're good with ADB, I believe you run ADB commands to unlock the BL. If you have the 926 and it's on the latest OTA, you're out of luck for root or unlocking.

I've got the 925...in Canada. And shipped with ICS 4.0 if not mistaken. Well i'm still a noob at this but i've flashed alot so i have a base knowledge.
I wasn't aware of HD getting 4.4, that's nice.
I just got my replacement from bestbuy's insurance. I was excited thinking it would be a version I could unlock, (my last one was only rooted) but instead I find that it's already on 9.30 and I can't even root it!

You should be able to unlock your BL using ADB or the Moto website. Then, you'll be able to load up a custom recovery and flash some ROMs. The only bad thing, though, is that not all the custom ROMs support the 925.
I've been trying it out today...It came with 4.1.2 installed. So far I like it. Do u know if I can use Dan Rosenberg's methods like the motochopper and as u suggested motopocalypse. What I understand I can unlock the boot loader with Motorola but is this less advantageous than with motopoc....all this bugs me about the phone seems very difficult to gain root

It has been my experience, and I have rooted and unlocked at least 10 different personal Android devices, that updates seem to move the unlocking process along. Finding differences in the code seems to allow devs to pinpoint potential exploits. That being said, you are absolutely correct in saying that an updated bootloader is harder to crack. This is why almost every exploit for any device that has been rooted comes with the disclaimer to not update to the newest latest greatest software.
Fortunatly, the newest update does not prevent the seem edit that unlocks the SIM. I am using my xt926 on T-Mobile because, screw Verizon.
To the new people considering unlocking, I highly reccommend unlocking for the sake of battery performance. I have the Razr HD Maxx and the battery lasts a very reasonable 24-26 hours with light to medium usage. Running PacMan, my battery lasted at least 48 hours and sometimes into 3 days.

I am certain that there is already one that was floated around sometime last year. I doubt Motogoogle is motivated to change anything via petition especially if these petitions represent people that have already purchased the device. Instead they will improve the next product, in this case the Moto X.
Hey guys, I have a Motorola Droid Razr HD, 9.18.94.XT926.
Recently there was found an exploit for this version to gain root access. So I did it (using method for samsung galaxy s3, which i found here). Now I do have root access, but I'm interested if I can install custom roms, for example cyanogenmod. As far as I know it needs unlocked bootloader. I'm not sure if my bootloader is unlocked or not, so I cant risk just following instructions from cyanogenmod's website.
So, my question is, how do i check if bootloader is unlocked or not, and if it's not, how do I unlock it, given that when downloading Android SDK from motorola website, where I tried to unblock bootloader, I cant install it, archive is broken or something. Thanks in advance (Sorry for the bad English)
I you're on .94 and never unlocked, you won't be able to now. To check, boot into AP Fastboot and see if says locked or unlocked.

Look up "safe-root."
So I read up on it...If I'm not horribly mistaken(which is very possible) that root only works for android 4.2 and 4.3 which means that I'd need the OTA for 9.30.1 which my droid doesn't think I need.

.94 and .1 are the same update, just different designations. The HD has never made it past 4.1 in stock form yet, so there is no 4.2 or 4.3. Safe Root will work on your system version.

I have an XT926 Maxx HD. Stock. Locked bootloader.
Three days ago, I rooted, installed Safestrap and ROM'd with Nexesque v3.6. All using instructions here on XDA. Root and Safestrap were simple. Getting the ROM loaded was a bit of a challenge, but it worked fine, except for a google.process.gaaps failure message upon rebooting each time. But it doesn't seem to affect anything. But other than that, runs quite quick. Tried RageHD and it didn't work for me at all. Could just be my phone.

Abstract: you wanna root your Motorola Razr HD (xt925) ?
You can't go anymore with the "gentle procedure" - which is using Motochopper, a way to root the 4.1.2 without tearing apart your phone.
So either you go back with a stock 4.1.2 and live happily with motochopper and a slow sys, or you follow Motorola instructions to unlock the phone. Be aware that once you enter the code Motorola will provide you'll void your warranty (if you still are under the grace period).

Isn't the Razr HD the xt925?
Or am I getting confused with all those names?
Edit: ah yeah, sorry, I've read only "RAZR HD", and I din't pay attention to sysver. My bad.

The 925 is the GSM variant and is unlockable through Moto. The 926 is the CDMA model that is typically used on Verizon and it's not unlockable through Moto.

Hi, RikRong. I'm also new to this XT926 and on the latest firmware I guess (183.46.15.xt926), is there's any new way to unlock bootloader and root this device? I read an old instruction in another post and just bought this device and now I'm so screwed over .

Unfortunately, right now there is no way to root or unlock that build.

Is this still the case? My phone was auto-upgraded to 4.4.2... I'm stuck?
