It's just clicking this time. My last phone I rooted was the Bionic and that was a pain.
For the Razr, do i already have an unlocked bootloader? i believe its the xt925 but my system version is 9.18.94.xt926.Verizon.en.us.
Is the 'root for Razrhd' in the stickies still the best way to root? I'm running 4.1.2
Will the Razr HD have a dual boot like the bionic did?
What is the best rom without all the verizon bloatware?
Thank you
David

If the phone came w/ ...18.94 you are locked forever.
If by luck the 926 you have was ever inlocked you may view the status in bootloader/ap fastboot. Hold all 3 keys til screen out & keep on vol keys while you toggle power off , on & off. Vol down to scroll & vol up to select fastboot.

Can I just root and have more access to my phone? I used safestrap with my bionic and didn't like it, mainly the partitioning.
Or is rooting alone not good for anything?
Yes use ss to bu/maintain your stock slot.
1st items of business is to bu your virgin sys for the KK ota as fall back for yourself.
Then xposed mods!
Don't bother with rom slots. But there is a trick to use a rom slot to flash a dst/debloated stock based rom to stock slot. See my guide.

I was hoping that rooting alone without SS would be beneficial. I didn't like having 2 OS's on the bionic and having to choose every time I rebooted, and it seemed to limit my storage space. But, I guess if i want control over the phone, that's the only way to go.
Thank you very much for helping me. I've searched but never found a straight answer.

You are welcome.
Once you trick/restore/to the stock slot you delete the rom slot you just used as a rom holder. Also use my sd swap to let system have all internal memory.

GAH! So how screwed am I? I can't even get into recovery. I'm non-dev, bootloader unlocked and rooted. I was going to restore the tether hack in order to take the new OTA. I accidentally deleted build.prop and rebooted.
I can't get into recover at all holding down volume down + PWR. I only get the unlocked bootloader warning and that is it. Phone shuts down. Since the phone is essentially off, my PC never recognizes it to allow me to use RSD.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
Thanks!

Wow, I'm an idiot!! Can't believe I did that. So, I downloaded the 4.4.4 21.11.21 ZIP and I used fastboot/mfastboot to flash the boot images and system image. I stopped and didn't erase my data because this is the exact version I'm running, only the build.prop is missing. This did the trick.
In order to help anyone else in a similar jam, I will try to post links to where I downloaded and the forum page with the instructions I followed, but they're on my laptop so I'll have to do it later.
Big sigh of relief... I've never seen an android device of mine in that bad state before!

how did get into recovery from a boot loop?
I have seen this come up many times as a question.. Probably needed a post of it's own...
Download this and move it to your ext-sd card (not in any folder) using htc file manager. Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip
- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934537454
Then reboot to bootloader and allow it to flash. This will give you back the latest TWRP. Boot back up and delete that zip off your sd card. IF you don't delete or rename it you won't be able to get to recovery via bootloader (it will keep trying to load that zip).
Then download this (doesn't matter to where-just remember where).
http://download.chainfire.eu/696/Sup...erSU-v2.46.zip
Reboot to TWRP manually and flash it. Bam... done.....

If on lollipop your only option right now is to have someone with a Java card do it for you.
Thank you so much for posting this. I've been looking for it endlessly.
I'm not all that experienced with flashing and I think I made a mistake somewhere.
I downloaded the first file, renamed it as specified, and placed it on the highest level of my external SD card. I rebooted using power + vol down and let it do its thing with the vertical loading bar. I suppose that means it flashed the file.
Then I rebooted, deleted the first file, and put the second file on the highest level of the external SD card. I rebooted again, selected "recovery", and was taken to the stock recovery, not TWRP.
Disregard this I goofed.

You usually have to confirm flashing the zip. Can you verify it asks you to flash zip 1?
I'm not getting a confirmation message. Hmmm...
---------- Post added at 03:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 AM ----------
When I reboot into the bootloader, I immediately get a message saying that it's loading 0P6BIMG.zip. There is a loading bar. Once the loading finishes, I get a message saying to press power to reboot, which I do. I plug my phone in and put the second file on the SD card. When I reboot into the bootloader, I select "Recovery" and it loads the stock recovery.

First of all, I wanted to thank you for your help with all of this. I really appreciate it.
I'm getting somewhere, but I'm not there yet. When I enter the 'fastboot flash zip nameofzip.zip' command, I get stuck at '<waiting for device>'. I've waited for over a half hour on a computer with a USB 3.0 port, and then the same on another computer with a 2.0 port. It's stuck there. I'm doing some research to see if I can find what is causing it to get stuck here.

I'm thinking you should do two things. First unplug and reply your usb cable while it's waiting. Secondly check device manager and make sure it shows the correct driver for your phone is installed when your phone is in ruu mode. Each mode loads its own driver instance.
I did some more work and ton more research and took another couple steps forward. I watched a video of some guy flashing an RUU and noticed the prompt asking him to confirm flashing the zip, which I'm not getting. The process should be simple.
Before I go any further, will this method work with a locked bootloader? I'm s-off, but have a locked bootloader. If it won't work with a locked bootloader, I'm out of luck since there's really no way of unlocking the bootloader on the Verizon m8, right?

Root and S-off Verizon M8 5.0.1
Hello everyone,
I am quite new to this and although this is all a bit overwhelming, I appreciate everything I'm learning. I'm trying to get my Verizon M8 to work on gsm so that I can use a metro pcs sim. I'm running 5.0.1 and can't seem to find a way to root my phone and get s-off to even begin the process. Any pointers?
Hi All!
I'm brand new to this forum, so thanks for reading this in advance.
I am totally new at this.
My XT926 crashed while I was wiping the google cache and a phone call came in, and now won't get past the motorola logo on bootup. I've tried calling Verizon and Motorola but their solutions have not helped. I have done the factory reset from the recovery menu, and attempted to flash Jelly Bean 4.1.2 using RSD lite and the recovery menu. Having a bit of an issue with installing AdbWinApi.Dll (or some such file)
Here are the issues I'm having:
I don't know how to determine which version of software might possibly be still on the phone. The Verizon Tech seemed to think that all the software on the phone is gone, including the startup file. The fastboot menu
reads:
AP Flashboot Flash Mode (S)
10.9B(*) (sha-61146a2, 2014-07-29 00:54:49)
eMMC Info: Size 32GB
Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
Battery OK
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
I'm not sure if there is a way to get back to the stock software. The phone is out of warranty so if rooting or any other kind of exploit is the way to go, I'm all for it.
I realize you guys have a lot of more exciting things to do, so thanks for any help you can provide. Thanks!

What version of rsd are you using?
Hey everyone. I rooted my Honor 8 yesterday using the following guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-8-root-twrp-and-xposed/. Everything seemed to work fine at first, but soon my Bluetooth refused to turn on at random and apps constantly crashed (either on startup or when switching between them). It got annoying very quickly and after searching for hours and not finding any real solution, I decided root wasn't that important to me and I'd just unroot my phone and then hard reset. After using SuperSU's unroot function, my phone turned off and rebooted. But when it got to the blue screen with the honor logo, it froze. Nothing does anything. No matter which buttons I press/hold down. It's just stuck on that screen. I'd love to take out the battery, but with these new phones, it's sadly built in (who ever thought that was a good idea?). It's been this way for close to an hour. ADB doesn't recognize it anymore. The only way my PC seems to recognize it at this point is through the Device Manager, where it shows the yellow warning sign. Under Properties > General it reads "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I've tried a few different things but none of them have worked. So this is where I'm at now. I'd hate to lose this phone since I just got it three months ago. I would really appreciate any sort of help, because I'm grasping at straws.

I "Thanked" all your posts here, which is the least I can do.
Hello,
i have a TF700KL, and i want to flash it.
But i don't find Something about it. Only about TF700.
Can You Help me?
Warm regards
Please Guys, i want help... Please...
Thx for ignore me
TF700 & TF700KL same, KL is the last version and the one listed on Asus's Global Website. All files should work once you A) Update firmware to the latest version B) Unlock bootloader. - NP

Took me a few minutes to find it and a few hoops to jump through to extract the archive, but the official apk is still out there. Try to install this:

You are welcome.
Rest assured you do have a bootloader. You may not have the bootloader interface the other Transformers have and possibly there is no way to get fastboot to work on this thing - I don't know.
There is no custom rom for this tablet, and if you do not want to loose 4G you cannot use one made for another Transformer either (no idea if that is even possible, I do not know the KL).
Your best bet is to gain root and uninstall a bunch of cr**, maybe use Greenify - I don't know. Very limited what you can do on stock....
I seem to recall that people got root with Framaroot on this thing. Google it, the info is out there. If I can find it so can you

ok let me get to the keypoints here that made me ask for help, and so you'll see that i'm not just a lazy person that doesn't use google
1) Some people they say that the KL can accept all the roms of the Tf700T. for example katkiss is saying to use one of their roms
1.a) some say that it will brick the device.
so, first question here, what will happen if i'll get a custom rom of the TF700T?
2) some people say that I should have a version of the "unlock bootloder" after unlocking with the asus app.
Well I don't have anything, I just have a small phrase which is "device unlocked" and that's it. nothing else.
3) some say on google that there is a cyanogen mod for the KL. Unfortunately cyanogenmod wiki and forum are down, so I can't find either assistance, either the files.
nothing to do here, then.
4) let's say I'll follow your guide, and i'll flash a custom rom. will I lose the 4g?
4.a) how can I get to the old rom, even original, in order to get 4g back?
5) about root: i managed to root it a long time ago. Unfortunately, even disabling most of the package and all the bloatware, the device really sucks.
that's the main reason why I abandoned there 3 years ago. now it's full of dust, and as I've been working a lot, I wanted to get it back with basic functions, but without waiting 10 seconds from the moment i press on APPS BUTTON and the actual time for which I see the apps page.
so, here's my google searching experience.

I'd say the first question is: Is there a compatible custom recovery for the KL and how to install it? I do not know that there ever was a custom recovery made for the KL and using one made for another Transformer may or may not brick your device. I do not see a single post from anyone stating that they successfully installed a custom rom or recovery on the KL, so my guess is: It cannot be done unless you develop a custom recovery for this tablet and find a way to flash it.
2) some people say that I should have a version of the "unlock bootloder" after unlocking with the asus app.

Well, there's the first difference to other Transformers: Most of them have a bootloader menu from where you can boot into recovery or into Android and perform a data wipe. Booted into the bootloader you also have fastboot access. The KL does not seem to have any of this. Do you have fastboot working on your PC? Try it, boot with Vol down or Vol Up and then check if you have fastboot access to the tablet. I doubt it....

I've only seen post users expressing hope or wishes for CM for the KL. I don't think there ever was a working CM rom for the KL

You cannot follow my guide unless you figure out a way to get fastboot working. You could try to flash TWRP recovery using their app or Flashify, but which TWRP?? Which version might be compatible with your bootloader? Nobody knows it seems. But heck! What have you got to loose? You are not going to use the tablet in its current state anyway, so if you brick it - who cares?
But to answer your question: Yes, you would definitely loose the 4G. The software for your modem has its own partition and no rom made for the wifi-only Transformers even knows this partition exists, let alone about the hardware
4.a) how can I get to the old rom, even original, in order to get 4g back?

Again: Untested territory. If you had a custom recovery or fastboot you might be able to flash the Asus firmware in either. Maybe
you won't believe me
I was away for 1 month
got back
installed framaroot
installed greenify
now it runs with like 10 apps total (including the keyboard)
tablet STILL UNUSABLE, takes 1 minutes to open youtube, 2 mins to open play store
Id really like to brick it rather than keep it like that

I then flashed the TWMR
when i rebooted it said
"no usb connected"
i then connected to the PC
and it say
"READY FOR DOWNLOAD" with an android picture
i can't boot it up again
what should i do now?
when i now do the FASTBOOT DEVICES command on pc, I see the serial of the asus
it's the first time fastboot sees it
I tried doing "fastboot update kitkatnougatellaxxxx.zip"
but it say that android-info.txt & android-product.txt not find so not flashable
what now, then? I can't even use it with the old OS
You need to boot into the TWRP that you flashed, hold the volume button down and press the power button (hold both) until you get the fastboot screen, the square with [RCK] should be blinking. Now press the volume up button to enter the TWRP recovery console. - NP

I just did flashifty with the latest TMWR recovery for TF700T
help pliz
best bet would be to do a factory reset, I don't believe this rom will work on the KL model. - NP
it doesn't even allow the factory reset, as if i press it it gives the NO USB CONNECTED screen
i'd say it's bricked

Try selecting [1] "Enter SD down mode" which is Enter SD download mode and see if you get to the next menu. - NP
I can't
I mean it doesn't get to the next menu
I've been trying to find the threads on how to re-flash the stock ASUS ROM from the SD cardseeing this is the only way to get the TF700k working but I can't find it know. It involved have the ROM in the root directory on the SDcard and giving it a specific name, this name triggers the tablet to update itself. - NP
