I successfully unlocked my Droid maxx. What is the best recovery option that will allow me to backup my current rom before installing a custom rom?

The toolkit states that a full bootloader unlock, root, and cwm recovery installation is possible either separately or with “1 –click”. Elsewhere in the forum it is stated that android will revert to stock recovery if cwm is flashed to a stock ROM. Does the toolkit method solve the problem of reverting to stock recovery if not immediately flashing a custom ROM and staying with stock ROM? Or does this mean it will always revert to stock recovery when booting back into stock ROM unless the specific file listed is removed from /system?
Is it all possible for a custom recovery to hamper performance within any given ROM? Currently I am running stock rooted with the stock recovery
Hey guys.
I've got a Moto Maxx XT1225 (similar to Verizon's Droid Turbo).
The bootloader is unlockable, but I was wondering if it's possible to get root since there's no custom recovery for it yet.
If yes, how?
Usually I unlock the bootloader, then install a custom recovery and flash supersu with it.
If there's no custom recovery, I have no idea what to do.
Hello? I was recently s-off, unlocked and using Adrenaline sense 6 lollipop rom.
Yesterday, I went back to stock 4.4.4 using the ruu file. I still have the s-off and unlocked.
Now my questions are..
1. Can I install custom recovery first then root by using supersu.zip file?
2. Or do I need to root first by weaksauce or something then get custom recovery?
You can go straight to installing a custom recovery. From there you can either flash the su binaries to achieve pure stock rooted rom or you could flash any one of the custom roms available which are pre-rooted.
Ive heard that you cant install custom roms on a droid maxx simply because the bootloader is locked. But if my phone is rooted is it possible to install custom roms like CM if so how do I do it?
No you can't install custom Roms as it is necessary to unlock the bootloader prior installation of roms.
