Hi all,
I just got a Motorola Razr Maxx HD (XT912) off Craigslist ($50). The specs are below:
system version: 98.72.16
OS: 4.1.2
Kernel: Feb 1, 2013
Build: 9.8.20-72
Build Date: Feb 1, 2013
I received a notice that there is a software update to 98.72.165
Reading briefly within the forums, looks like there is a newer version (9.30.1)?
I would like to root, install TWRP, and maybe add a custom ROM.
I see that there is a root method now available for the latest version, but should I root now (and what is the most successful method), or install the OTAs, and then root?
I do not intend on using this as phone, just as a wifi device for my son (finally retiring the Charge).
thanks!
I believe your in the wrong section.
Your phone is a xt912 droid Razr maxx (not hd). Do not accept that update until you confirm there is a root method available. See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192467
The newer droid RAZR maxx hd is a xt926 and its latest update is 9.30.1.
Your only option for recovery on the xt912 is safestrap by hashcode. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391900
My device is running on kitkat 4.4.4 ......indian variant
Any given Device can have an AOSP (Android Open Source Project) Rom/Firmware. Either Developed by Google or by developers here on XDA. That would give you GPE experience even if that's not a Official GPE device.

5.1.4 may or not be downgraded, a couple of reports seemed that it could be downgraded, but it would be safer to wait...
5.1.3 and 5.1.2.1 cannot be rooted (27 April 2016)
but both can be downgraded to 5.1.2 (see restore firmware with stock recovery)
Root System Version 5.1.2
6 April 2016: Currently System Version 5.1.2 Root with
Kingroot KingRoot thread
then see rootjunky's supersume video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O3DcpeS_Ic
or manually install supersu with a terminal emulator

The option to download other apps seems to have been removed on the 2015 fire hd 10.
Anyone have ideas how to get around this?
Maybe it is too early?

How did you get this link? How do you know this is the correct firmware? I am sking because it is not yet linked from the amazon support web site. Thank you.
You can examine my other threads referred to amazon and you can see that I never wrong)
If this firmware incorrect - it just not install, no problem.
I did not mean to offend you. I just wanted to know how you found the link.
No problem) it has been published by mistake a week ago and were available about 10 mins
Official links to software updates http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201830190
In case anyone was wondering, I did a hash compare between the file originally posted by ONYXis and the file posted on the official Amazon website and they are the same.

:good: Thanks, I'll give it a try!
Just checked on the code names it seems they are backwards in the original post. The HD 8 is actually "Thebes" and the HD 10 is "Memphis".
can you plz tell if there is away to root 10 and 8 inch
Rooted my Droid Maxx xt1080 and cant get the free wifi working. Everything i look is for older version of firmware.
I have android 4.4.4 system version 24.3.7 build number su6-7
Follow this method from the Droid Ultra forum. As you are likely aware, the Droid Maxx and Droid Ultra are the same phone, with the exception of the Maxx's larger battery. Anything you see on that forum will apply to the Maxx as well.
This is what I have:
Model: XT1080
Manufacturer: Motorola
Android: 4.4.4
API Level: 19
Kernel: 3.4.42-g6ca5516(4)
Compilation: SU6-7.3
I rooted it with new method I found here last year about this time. While trying to install TWRP, I saw an apk called 'EntitlementBypass' by KrYpToNiTe. I installed it, went into settings and enabled hotspot and... BLAMMM.
