[Q] Motorola Razr XT910 Root - Motorola Droid RAZR

i just bought my motorola droid razr xt910 2 days ago
then i accidentaly updated its system version to
65.1.21.xt910.MERetail.en.06
android version : 2.3.5
Baseband version U_03.1c.85p
is it possible to have my device rooted?

not too sure but would prob b best to back up whatever u can (just incase but i doubt anything will go wrong).. then give Doomlords ZergRush root exploit a run and see if it works!
hope it helps!!

i tried using v4.0 doomlord easy rooting kit
and rooting failed. i think its because of the update that i made.. is there by any chance that i can downgrade my device back to retail status?

Try this! But make sure you have all of the drivers installed

That's a good utility, but bear in mind that you'll be on 651.73.30, which is the EU version. If you want back your original, you should use either RSD or Fla****, together with the fastboot files.

thanks! it worked! finally rooted my Razr!! cheers! =)

As far as I know you can't directly root the 2.3.6 update. You need to root before you update and use a root saving app to allow you to reapply root after the update.
If you used the OTA here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353142 you can downgrade to SPU9 with RSD lite, apply root and then upgrade again keeping root using vodoo rootkeeper. The instructions are in the first post.

Thank a lot for your reply.
But, my razr is not EU. it's korea XT910S.
And then can't return back 2.3.5.
So, big problem.
Thanks again.
Wait, didn't you invent the razr bootstrap?

Hi, zeidof.
Thanks for any help was the last time.
But, it was failed flash on my Razr.
It seems like bootloader lock is different.
I think, must only wait for Korea SBF is leaked.
Or need to another root way.
Now i'm using an ordinary Razr, because my mistake.
Yes, it can be rooted.
I lost root. The method does work.
You MUST reboot phone and start fresh.
It must be a freshly booted system or the exploit may not work.
It worked for me.

I believe he means that you need to power your device off then power it back on then proceed. Whether it works or not, I do not know.
How to root Korean Razr XT910K?
Hi.
How to root Korean Razr XT910K? I've already updated this new (yet un-rooted) phone to official Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4.
I don't want to install other rom, but I only want to be able to backup & recover all my apps+data in the future and to remove (if possible in my case) some stock apps which I don't need.
I tried to search an appropriate thread to post and this one seemed to be the closest one.
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
Is there a rooting feedback from anyone for this Korean Razr XT910K with this tool?
Because korean smartphones are so customized by providers that they are different from others. This makes them a little complex and risky to root without hearing some experience. Especially, taking into account that it's already updated and now it has:
- Android 4.0.4
- System version: 67.42.17.XT910K.KT.en.KR
- Firmware: GAS_ASIA_SPYDERICSKT_P006
- Baseband: U_KR_04.03.00R
- Kernel: 3.0.8-gf9e09c1 [email protected] #1
- Webtop: wt-3.0.0
- AP flex: GAS_ASIA_SPYDERICSKT_P006, GAS_ASIA_SPYDERICSKT_A002
- Build number: 6.7.4-27_SA-17
Finally, I wouldn't like to get a new and advanced "media player" for $270 named Motorola Razr
Thanks for any constructive input.

How to remove bootstrap completely to recieve a ota

Alot of people i see are still getting the update failed error...i was getting it and i found out i wasnt removing bootstrap completly..so heres the process i use
1. Go into titanium backup and find razr bootsrap
2. Click wipe data then uninstall
3.Go to root explorer or es file explorer
4. Navigate to system/ bin
5.In the bin folder you will find two files..."logwrapper" and "logwrapper.bin." Delete the file that is named just "logwrapper."Then go to the logwrapper.bin file and click rename. DELETE the". bin" so your just left with "logwrapper."
6.Reboot and except the ota
This will work only if you are stock rooted......

When I try to delete logwrapper ES file explorer says "logwrapper cannot be deleted". I even tried renaming it something else like logwrapper2 or logwrapperbak and it says "sorry, operation failed". Any ideas?
Im on stock rooted rom, ota 748 xt912 verizon.
Thanks

Do you have root enabled on es? Our you could just use root explorer.

Yes I enabled root. Might just have to go buy root explorer, you think that's the solution?

Did you remount the filesystem R/W? It's read-only (R/O) by default...
Ehm, I'm on cwm for GSM, and I've this problem: with ES file explorer, I can't find system folder! And I can't even find the logwrapper with search option!
How can I resolve?

You might want to RSD back to stock at this point.
That's what I'd do, just because the state of the device is unknowable.

----posted maxx'ed out--
How I succeeded
I tried the OP and several other things that seemed to make sense at the time, and then I gave up:
TiBu all user apps, unchecking the red items
RSD to the .173 AP Fastboot image
OTA update to .181
MotoFail root
Installed TiBu, restored user apps + data
Safeboot Recovery
New nandroid backup
Ta da
Weird, I had bootstrap for a while, just deleted from the app drawer like any other app, and the 181 ota went just fine

you might not like this idea but.. you could try factory resetting? maybe that will help? you could also try loading the files on the phone and doing it from terminal? see if you can get some better results? if you're familiar with linux like commands you should have no trouble doing it from the phone.

No there is a set of circumstances that when that directory is not there which causes similar issues. Just ruling it out.

I just rooted, took several tries. I kept having the same problem. Make sure you clear cache/data in smart actions and use the MTP usb setting. Hope that works for you.
I'm baaaaaaack ha ha thank you

Ran ota after temp unroot, update went fine, no matter what I do I cannot restore root. The app mentioned above isn't working nor is voodo.
Tried over and over to run the root program and it continued to fail. Thought maybe installing Super User and not Supersu would work..
After installing Super User, now have Root back and everything doing normal.

What Should i Do nw plzz help.....
If I remember correctly, meaning if nothing changed in last year since I don't have Neo V, those with locked bootloader and .587 fw can't be rooted directly, follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690

Since there is no newer fw version than .587, at least I believe so, if you use update service, it will reinstal/repair your rom, meaning you will get clean rom, meaning you will lose root.
To get root again, use whatever you used this time. Since I didn't use eroot, I can only advise you to use what I already advised above.
Dont use Update service from sony as it will fix your phone and remove root access...
As our friend said, You better download .587 ftf and flash it using flashtool and then only flash the kernal of .562 ftf.
After that use doomlord's tool and after you get root access flash .587's kernal again..
There are no new fw updates after that and moreover .587's baseband is good for battery in comparison to other firmwares.

Also dont run the doomlord's tool as administrator on windows because i once encountered same problem like yours due to doing so.
hope you got the solution to your problem

i have use update service to install the rom and kernel again and got the root excess again and then i install cwm using cwminstall.cmd
and it did not show any error but to install cwm does it require unlocked bootloader to install cwm.

Just to clear up something. In both ways, full flash removes root, so it doesn't matter if he use update service or flashtool, meaning no advance in flashtool over updateservice.
