I have been reading and coming up with conflicting answers. Can I or can I not get Lollipop or higher on my Maxx XT1080M? I see tutorials on how to do it but then I read that unless you are lower then 4.0, or have a build below SU6-7.7 you can't do it. Also something about a root not holding after reboots.
I am on 4.4.4 and SU6-7.7
Any help would be appreciated
i have the same phone but not unless you can get root and have the correct ROM
Motorola was going to put lollipop on it but canceled it

I had a droid RAZR maxx HD with PAC ROM on it and was in love, and with this phones hardware and the updates to PAC I feel like it would be a thing of dreams, but I would need unlocked boot loader and so I am wary on taking updates as I am worried an exploit will come out for the old version after I upgrade, even though they aren't posting any security patches that doesn't mean they aren't changing it a little. Anyways I am just looking for other peoples opinion on whether I should go through work to unroot update then reroot and hope for an exploit.

Our bootloader is locked

He said he HAD a razr he doesn't anymore. I wouldn't be concerned about taking updates the boot loader is probably never getting unlocked. But if it did right now the moto x can downgrade to 4.2.2 from 4.4 so I guess we would be able to as well.
So I would just have to fxz back if an exploit comes out?

I'm not sure it is that simple I haven't really looked into it but I know it can be done on the moto x it is actually part of the root process at this point for the moto x.
Hey all,
I have a Droid Maxx and am interested in rooting it. I also have an old HTC g2 (Prior phone). I'm wondering if it might be worth while trying to root the G2 first just to become familiar with the tools and the rooting and installing different kernels and such prior to attempting on the Maxx. Is there any real value in playing around with the G2 first?
ED: Version info on the HTC G2:
Android Version 2.3.4
Baseband Version: 12.62.60.27u_26.13.04.19_M
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.10-g96de068 [email protected] #1
I have read the writeups on Rooting the Droid Maxx. I believe the latest is this from the Root/Write Protection Bypass] Droid Ultra/Maxx/Mini thread:
Friend..if you have the Droid Maxx..you need to use RockMyMoto..

While it never hurts to play with different devices and can get you familiarity with the some of the generic tools like adb, and some of the terminology, the methods used for different manufacturers is different so the actual exploit tools and steps will be very different.
If you have a Droid, and are still on 4.2 read the slapmymoto thread very carefully and follow those for the Maxx. They wont work for the G2 nor will G2 methods work on the Droid.
I'm thinking of getting the droid maxx on verizon. I thought it already had the 4.4.2 update? I'm seeing that it's on 4.4? And how is the unlocking bootloader and rooting side on this device?
Edit: I just realized I posted this on the wrong thread. I apologize..
I'm searching for a downgrade method so that I may use JCase's tethered root method on my Droid Maxx (Android Version 4.4).
While going through his method, I received a response that JCase deemed would indicate a need to downgrade, please redirect me if such a thread exists.
Apparently no threads about this downgrade.
Have you read all this thread by @jcase [Root/Write Protection Bypass] Droid Ultra/Maxx/Mini

After reading some posts, once you're KK 19.6.3, you cannot downgrade 19.5.3

Thank you for your response, Philos64.
The thread you linked is of no use to me, as I have not had root on my Droid prior to the 4.4 update.
In regard to the rumor of impossibility, I had heard similar, though JCase referred to it in such a nonchalant manner that I assumed it was not only possible, but that there was an established method.
I suppose I'll return to the threads, thank you for your time.
After searching to another website, Apparently you can do this using FXZ or House of Moto without bricking the phone.) Second, the root does not survive boot, and does not allow RW of the system partition => Motorola Droid MAXX
But you need to read posts quietly before doing something
Take your time
And no problem for my time, that's why I'm here for helping members
My savior!
I've been searching for a good 4 hours now, I'll make sure to thank you. :laugh:
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 .
