Hey all,
I have a Droid Maxx and am interested in rooting it. I also have an old HTC g2 (Prior phone). I'm wondering if it might be worth while trying to root the G2 first just to become familiar with the tools and the rooting and installing different kernels and such prior to attempting on the Maxx. Is there any real value in playing around with the G2 first?
ED: Version info on the HTC G2:
Android Version 2.3.4
Baseband Version: 12.62.60.27u_26.13.04.19_M
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.10-g96de068 [email protected] #1
I have read the writeups on Rooting the Droid Maxx. I believe the latest is this from the Root/Write Protection Bypass] Droid Ultra/Maxx/Mini thread:
Friend..if you have the Droid Maxx..you need to use RockMyMoto..
Here is instructions >> https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B67R...p=docslist_api
Here is a zip that will set your computer up to run the exploit >> https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B67R...p=docslist_api
sent by my
RockMyMoto Root
SafeStrap ver. 3.65
12.15.15.obake-maxx_verizon
Android > 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
XT1080M (aka) Droid Maxx
(device #1)
.
While it never hurts to play with different devices and can get you familiarity with the some of the generic tools like adb, and some of the terminology, the methods used for different manufacturers is different so the actual exploit tools and steps will be very different.
If you have a Droid, and are still on 4.2 read the slapmymoto thread very carefully and follow those for the Maxx. They wont work for the G2 nor will G2 methods work on the Droid.

I have XT925 International Version of Razr HD and I rooted using motochopper. It worked. You can find info here in XDA.

Are you planning on running stock recovery? OUDHS rooted for me after I flashed it... wasn't going to bother with stock at all but when I went in to make a nandroid it detected no root & prompted to see if I'd like to root, after which I made a titanium backup as well before cracking into some ROM's - worked like a charm. I assume CWM/TWRP does something similar. Rogers/Fido XT925.

Hello! I bought XT925 just a few days ago. It had JB 4.1.2 out of the box. I tried to root it for a few times without a sucess using several different methods found on the internet. Then I was sucessful with ˝motochopper¨ ! This is, as far as I know, only method to root XT925 with JB 4.1.2. On other android versions everything will work but on JB 4.1.2 XT925 only motochopper works. Phone works great after the root. Don't worry about using this on your device... Google out ˝motochopper.zip¨ Good luck
Ok, my phone isn't on this website and this phone is the closest to it. I have a Droid RAZR Maxx HD. can this phone be rooted? Current phone versions are as follows:
System Version: 9.18.94.XT926.Verizon.en.US
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: VANQUISH_BP_100730.151.64.17P
Build Number: 9.8.1Q-94
if so can anyone point me in the direction of where to find the root method? would the root method for the RAZR HD work for my phone or is every phone different? Also, are there any custom ROM's for my phone if i can root it. On all of the popular ROMs they seem to only support google and samsung devices. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Yes you can. As for direction, it's been discussed extensively, you should be able to find the solution right in this forum.
I currently own a Motorola XT 1080 (also known as Motorola Droid Maxx). I have spent about two weeks now trying to root my phone using guides I have found on here and other sites. However I keep running into either a problem with the guide being for android version 2.2 or earlier, or it not applying to my specific device. I am very new to all this, however I do understand what rooting means. If someone could type up or direct me to a guide for my device using android version 4.4.4 I would really appreciate it.

Dear Freinds,
i am looking for Safestrap for Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD 183.46.15.XT926 verizon.en.US .. can any one tell me where i download ..i am very thanksfull to you for your kind act .. Thanks
Sorry for bad english ..
Safestrap is not available for KitKat ROM's, it was never updated to be compatible. Also, safestrap used the "Kexec" method for bootstrapping a different kernel during bootup, but that method does not work on our devices.
Sorry, you cannot use Safestrap for these phones. It does not exist and cannot work.
I have been reading and coming up with conflicting answers. Can I or can I not get Lollipop or higher on my Maxx XT1080M? I see tutorials on how to do it but then I read that unless you are lower then 4.0, or have a build below SU6-7.7 you can't do it. Also something about a root not holding after reboots.
I am on 4.4.4 and SU6-7.7
Any help would be appreciated
i have the same phone but not unless you can get root and have the correct ROM
Motorola was going to put lollipop on it but canceled it
