Hi everyone,
I'm probably beating a dead horse, but I'm a total newb regarding rooting etc. I have an HTC Droid Inc 2 with 0.98.0000 (2.3.4) and would like to root my phone. I realize that the only way to root this phone is to downgrade it to 2.3.3 so that it can be S-offed. I'm trying to decide as to whether or not it would be worth downgrading. Would I be able to upgrade after rooting? If a version update is finally available, would I be able to upgrade without having to unroot? Also how do firmware updates from Verizon play into this? Can they be installed manually after rooting? Thanks in advance for your advice.
i own a motorola razr hd (dev edition) purchased directly from moto. its not droid (verizon) branded
i want to root it but i cant find any info for rooting a non-droid razr hd
does it make a difference? will i ruin my phone if i root with droid root?
if i can use the droid root with no ill effect i would be grateful to know for sure,if not, i would appreciate links to the needed pages.
thnx in advance,
BZMX

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
Just so you know I have an australia version of the Motorola Razr V (XT885). But unfortunately, it's been updated to JB 4.1.2 so the root method for ICS couldn't be completed on my device, I'm really really grateful if anyone can help me root this phone.
After endless searching, many threads, you tube vids etc...I have come to realize that I need help before I root my device. I tried Towelroot (which I donated) to no avail with this version. I was just about to attempt going back to 4.1, however I realize that my brain has taken in far to much info and a mistake is likely. I do not have phone service due to it being locked to Verizon, trying to transfer my Net10 service but have to unlock first. So sorry for any aggrevation in advance but ANY help would be wonderful...Thanks, Melinda G.
Hello. A quick search came up with the threads below. Best of luck .

[How-To][Tutorial] Downgrade Kit Kat 4.4.2 to JB 4.1.2
I know the phone is older but it's what I have right now. It works well and is running Jellybean 4.2.2.
Is there a new version of Android that I can upgrade this phone too? If so is there a guide? I'm a complete newb when it comes to this. I don't even know how to root the phone, I know I need to do that but that's about it.
Thanks,
