Sorry if I missed something as I am a new member, but as title says, I've RSDed Droid Maxx to 4.4.4 and lost root, is there a way to root it again so that I can get native tethering to work again. Thanks!
Nope, you are going to have to wait until a new root method is released. You are as stuck as possible.

There's always paying for the unlock code, depending on what build you have. Got my code couple days ago and it worked. So much easier having boot loader unlocked.

How do I go about unlocking a Verizon Droid Maxx? I assume after unlocking i'll have the ability to root it, which will allow for native tethering app to get modified and work.

So then the only other option (aside from waiting for 4.4.4 root exploit to get figured out) is to get Developer Edition of Droid Maxx? If I get that, is root pretty much guaranteed every time there is an update, including will I be able to root 4.4.4 and therefore modify native hotspot's entitlement file? Thanks.

Potential Bootloader Unlock for Non-Dev Edition
Sent From My Droid Ultra
I'm sorry and I assume most of you will disagree with me, but 45 dollars is a rip off to have my phone rooted. I've never had a rooted android but I had a jail broken iPhone and I did love it, although I would never had paid for it, I don't see why I would invest such a high amount onto something that will never bring me more than advanced customization(I'm assuming that all that root does as its all that jailbreaking seemed to do) maybe I'm saying this because I'm not a developer myself and I don't work on these things, but having my phone rooted will always seem as a low priority. If it were 5-10 dollars id probably give in because of temptation to have cooler feaututes on my device. Anyway this is just my point of view and just wanted yo share .

I have a rooted Verizon droid maxx. I am really worried about losing root if I take the ota. Is there any safe way to take the ota without losing my root? I've read like 2 posts of people saying the pro version of supersu and Survival mode keeps root. I've also read 1 post saying that they accidently took it and didn't lose root. Can anyone confirm this?
I would like to know the answer to this as well. I was just prompted for this update.
at that i know most users keep the root with Superuser in Survival mode
u can try and let us know

Considering that you cannot downgrade to a exploitable version of android if it doesn't work, I think I will pass.
Here is a guy that did it and said he keep root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52763259
I believe the one that did it accidentally had an unlocked boot loader which makes root possible no matter what.
I saw another post

Saying that the biggest part of the update was the radio which can be flashed without taking the whole upgrade if you are worried about it.
Me personally, my BL is unlocked and I'm going back to 4.2. I've seen nothing but negatives (bad battery life, FC's, etc) with the updates. I might would stick it out if there was some new features but they seem like just more of the same.
I used survival mode and took the ota and still have root. Unfortunately I lost my WiFi tether and am trying to get that back now.

Maybe I'm brain dead. I thought I had TWRP on these phones after SlapMyMoto, but I guess it retained the stock recovery.

I thought the big issue was not retaining root, but completely losing the Write-Protection off ability (ie ability to use xposed). I'm locked bootloader and don't see a reason to unlock.

Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
...As I'm sure many others like me will visit this forum, read guide disclaimers, and still ask themselves "is it really true??"
If we accept the latest OTA (186.43.15) WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader, we are screwed. There is absolutely, positively, nothing that can be done (hacking, version rollback, etc.) with the phone forever. The bootloader has been locked and we're stuck with what we've got. No way to unlock it now.
So, is it really true? Please say it ain't so.
Yes, it is true, at least with the Motopocalypse method. There are other ways to bootloader unlock phones such as Sunshine, but I think that only supports newer Motorola devices.
http://theroot.ninja/
Also, you have to be rooted. If Towelroot doesn't work on the latest OTA (no idea if it does or not) then you'd have to wait for a new exploit.
Thanks for the reply.
What's most frustrating about this is that I knew it was coming, I knew the bootloader was going to be locked by the next OTA but I was too nervous to unlock the bootloader and possibly brick my wifes phone in the process. She would be pissed.
The system update notifier kept bugging her and I kept telling her to not to do it and eventually she just she went ahead with it. Ugh.

Forget another bootloader unlock exploit. That was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. As for root, well, there might be, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Of course, that's what we all said when the first KK OTA came out and look what they gave us - Towelroot AND bootloader unlock, but the bootloader unlock was a mistake - they accidentally reverted part of the code back to the original exploit code. So, that was a mistake on Moto's part.
But, this latest OTA is the last OTA for this phone. No more updates from Moto so don't expect the bootloader exploit to show up again.

That's what I was afraid of. Same thing happened on my Droid X once updated to the last build of 2.3.4
I guess the bottom line is this: I don't care that much about the final KK build as much as I care about wifi hotspot tethering. That's really what I'm after. After her phone was updated to KK from JB it killed the tethering app that we were using. So my only recourse was to flash the phone back to JB. But I just didn't have the time to mess with it, plus it's my wife's phone and I didn't want to risk bricking it.
Near as I can tell, after quite a bit of searching, I don't have any way to fix tethering with this latest build. I'll ask the question in the Q&A section.

Exactly what version of KK is she on? If she's still on 183.46.10, then that allows the bootloader to be unlocked which will then allow you to root it and then apply a tethering hack.
If, however, you are on 183.46.14 or 183.46.15, then yes, you are hosed and cannot revert back to 183.46.10 or JB.

She actually hasn't been happy with her XT926, so I think I might just buy a used phone of the same generation and mod it. If successful, we'll just swap the hacked one onto her account. I'm thinking Galaxy S3? I'd be curious to know what the "most hackable" phone of that generation is (JB or early KK)? Or should I post that question in the XDA General? I've searched and haven't found that question asked.

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).

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?

Yep your in the correct place as far as unlocked bootloader there isn't one unless your phone is supper old and wasn't updated you have to be on 4.2 if your phone is running 4.4.4 then your only option for root is the one in the top post of the forum by crash it will let you get exposed working and get rid of some bloat ware but that's the best we have for these phones.

I've got a new mini also, on 4.4.4 and havent tried crashing it yet, will the crash root allow write and or a way to bypass the hotspot block by verizon? That's all I'm interested in is getting my hotspot to work on my unlimited data plan. Thanks

Just did it simple, if your phone was new from verizon it probably shipped without the ota and you can unlock it easy, it will try to download and install the ota, DONT LET IT INSTALL THE OTA! if you do you wont be able to use sunshine to unlock it, if it downloads the ota do a factory reset to delete the download until you get it rooted and freeze the moto ota app, I used "app quarantine" to freeze it and it stays disabled even after root loss when the phone reboots until you have a chance to unlock with sunshine, its free in the google playpen i mean store, his what i did http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/help/4-21-root-unlock-t3352386/post66205828#post66205828
Oh so you cant connect the mini to tmobile with 4.4
