[HOWTO] Update Firmware, Root & Install CWM Recovery (Step by Step) - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi , greeting everyone !
This tutorial is for windows and covering devices with locked bootloader !
I hope this tutorial come to help those who still have doubts in preparing tools for: Update Firmware Android version, Root device and Install CWM Recovery.
If you do not want to damage the device , or you will lose warranty then follow these steps carefully !!!
All Credit for Root devices [ @Dan Rosenberg] , and for CWM Recovery [ @nitroglycerine33]
These are the files you need for all operations : => http://www.4shared.com/zip/j1NYuSYZ/UPDATE_ROOT_CWM.html
=> http://hotfile.com/dl/149154452/d7164d2/UPDATE_ROOT_CWM.zip.html
( ...unpack zip archive into UPDATE_ROOT_CWM directory...)
HOW UPDATE YOUR ENVIRONMENT ( windows 7 x64) :
- go to UPDATE_ROOT_CWM/SDK&DRIVER/ and install all *.exe
HOW UPDATE STOCK FIRMWARE:
- go to UPDATE_ROOT_CWM/RSD_LITE/ install *.exe
For update , first you need Fastboot Files for your appropiate ROM ( you need to search on xda-developers/Motorola Droid Razr - your files)
- on your device enable USB debugging , connect USB cable and run RSDLite ....click on Show Device ( if your device is detected you'll see your device ....Model XT910 .....) , now click on ...(Filename) and go to your Fastboot Files archive previously downloaded and click Start . That's all ....wait ~ 10 min for update your device with the new version.
HOW ROOT YOUR DEVICE :
- go to .../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools and copy all *.exe and all *.dll into .../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/tools
- go to UPDATE_ROOT_CWM/ROOT/ and copy *.* into ../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/tools
- enable USB debugging on your device , connect USB cable ...
- go to .../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/tools and click on Command Prompt
> adb devices
....you'll see your nr. device here ....
> adb push motofail /data/local/tmp
> adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/motofail"
> adb shell "/data/local/tmp/motofail exploit"
> adb reboot
.....wait for reboot your device....
> adb remount
> adb push su /system/bin/
> adb push busybox /system/xbin/
> adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
> adb shell
>/# chmod 755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
>/# chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
>/# chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
>/# system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
>/# exit
> adb reboot
......wait for reboot your device .....
After reboot your device is ROOT, you can download Root Check Basic on Market and Verify Root Access ! ( allow su asked ...)
HOW INSTALL ClockWorkMod Recovery :
- go to UPDATE_ROOT_CWM/CWM/ and copy .apk into .../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/tools
- go to .../Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/tools and click on Command Prompt
> adb push RazrBootstrap.apk /data/app/
> adb shell
>/# chmod 755 /data/app/RazrBootstrap.apk
>/# exit
> adb reboot
....wait for reboot your device .....
After reboot run on your device Razr Bootstrapper , check Bootstrap Recovery and click Reboot Recovery. Now you have CWM Recovery working and you can install your update.zip for customizing your favorit devices !

HI !
Please replace busybox with this version : => http://www.4shared.com/zip/A8_XZYnB/busybox.html
( Previous version of the busybox damage the root !!! )
Thanks and sorry for mistake ! Good Luck !

10000000x thanks
Thank you so much for this. I've been trying for a long time to regain root access after I made an error. This saved my device.

[Q] OTA update?
Question. Do I have to avoid OTA update (eu 2.3.6) and flash it via CWM/fastboot?
If yes. Why?

Hi!
No, not required ! You can do very well OTA update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 and after that you can root your device . Good luck !
You can use RSD Lite for update your device if update exist ( you need to search and found fastboot files for your device ) , but the device does not find ! ( into system updates ). I hope you understande me .

For some reason, 4shared will not allow me to download. I signed up, but the download never starts.

Thank you for info . I'll upload now on the other site . Good Luck !

Hi!
If you can not download on 4shared , now you can do on hotfile. Is the same archive , but with correct busybox .
=> http://hotfile.com/dl/149154452/d7164d2/UPDATE_ROOT_CWM.zip.html

thanks for this guide. any way to get back to stock if you root? If so, how? Because when ICS get's released OTA it's nice to get it and then use root again. Also if I only want to stay stock and get root how do I do that? In the guide you state "get the appropiate fastboot files for your rom" But I want to stay on stock 651.73.30.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU and get root. Is that possible?

New Rooting method for 2.1 | updated for 2.0.2.A.0.24 | 9/01/2011

Here comes the latest rooting method that works with 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware.
Credits to Scotty2 for his psneuter exploit!
1. Download and unpack rootme.tar.bz2
2. Execute ./rootme (linux) or rootme.bat (windows)
3. Done.

You may also want to try SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse.zip (modified by batman_112 to use the latest exploit).
Cheers,

Wow, actually it seems that copying files with adb push via script messes thing up I corrected the instructions, so now it will work for you, but need to copy the files manually.

Your link is broken
Try now, I got rid of installation scripts
EDIT: Now it works flawlessly. I still have no clue why copying files with .bat file messes everything up, but manual copying does the job.
why the superone reach the root sometimes so slow?
your method uses the same exploit, and works at first try
check the files plz: Invalid or Deleted File
can't download the ratc-pack --> Invalid or Deleted File
please reup - THX
EDIT: Link is OK now --> THX
Link is OK. Downloading at the moment.
Tried it manually (as described)...
But same problem... :-(

:-( Same Problem
I flashed my X10 with nordic FW and tried it again Step by Step... but "permission denied"... even if i remove and make the tmp directory as described...
Ok, last thing to try... After you copy the files, go with:
Code:
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
I added some screenshots to show how the process works for me.
is this a full root? i mean, is root+shell root?

Hi guys, I've noticed some people still can't get their phones rooted with SuperOneClick method. So do I, never managed to get it working Here is a simple method of rooting, using the same exploit (rageagainstthecage - credits to author). This is quick and 100% guaranteed to work but I'd rather recommend it to advanced users.
1. Install Android Terminal Emulator from the market http://bit.ly/9B46Nl
2. Download and unpack http://www.mediafire.com/?s0428zxc7n50i28
3. Plug in the phone (usb debugging mode), copy the following files with adb and change permissions:
Code:
adb push ratc /data/local/tmp/ratc
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
adb push rootme /data/local/tmp/rootme
adb push superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/superuser.apk
adb shell
chmod /data/local/tmp/*
4. Start Terminal Emulator on your phone and issue those commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./ratc
5. Exit out of Terminal Emulator using BACK button.
6. Start any other application and exit out of it using BACK button.
7. Start Terminal Emulator again - note that you're running it as root (#)
8. Issue those commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./rootme
Your phone will reboot - and it's done. I suggest installing Busybox from the Market. Hope it helps.
Cheers!
EDIT: Fixed.

Finally I was able to root my phone
just one correction, you got to use chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
it was not allowing to root otherwise
i kept breaking my head using the "simple" SuperOneCLick but could not show my rage against the machine
thank you for explaining this process for Root.

did it. thanx. btw like your oldstyle-skills
Just saw this thread and wanted to root my phone also...I downloaded the files provided in the first post and extracted onto my PC. When I tried running the adb application, I only get a command window only for a split second and then it disappears. Am I doing something wrong?
Everything works fine until the final step where I write ./rootme in the emulator.
Before the phone reboots, it says something right after, something about superuser.apk.
Once the phone is back on the emulator goes back to $. As well as not being able to download Busybox.
Appreciate your efforts
EDIT: No worries, I managed to get root using SuperOneClick (finally!). It was rather sketchy, would've preferred your way tbh.

Easy way to install CWM or xRecovery

Here is what I believe is a simple way of rooting and installing CWM for Windows.
I have bricked my phone many times now and used SEUS to get it back to 2.1.1.A.0.6 and had to go through the process of rooting and installing CWM again. Here is what I have found.
Download SuperOneClick to a folder, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick
Create a sub-folder under this folder, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
Download your preferred version of CWM or xRecovery (should be the 3 files "busybox", "chargemon", "recovery.tar")
Copy these 3 files into the sub-folder you created, e.g. C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
Copy the code snippet below and save as INSTALL.BAT in the sub-folder
Reflash your phone with SEUS to get back to plain 2.1.1.A.0.6
Reboot and set USB debugging mode
Run SuperOneClick and click Root - do not reboot
Once Root has finished click Shell Root - do not reboot
Open a command window and enter CD C:\SuperOneClick\CWM
Run INSTALL.BAT - this will reboot the phone at the end
Press BACK key on the phone at the Sony Ericcson text - you should get into CWM
The benefit of the above is that if you keep the files in the folder above you can repeat from step 6 very easily.
Code:
@echo off
echo.
echo.1) Run SuperOneClick
echo. a) Click Root - do not reboot
echo. b) Click Shell Root - do not reboot
echo.2) Press any key in this window to install CWM - phone will reboot
echo.
pause
..\adb devices
..\adb remount
..\adb push busybox /system/bin
..\adb push chargemon /system/bin

..\adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
..\adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/chargemon
..\adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/recovery.tar
..\adb reboot
This technique does not require installing BusyBox from the Market, setting permissions via Root Explorer or anything like that. It just uses SuperOneClick and a small script using the ADB program in the SuperOneClick folder.
I got SuperOneClick from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=515017&d=1297434892 (from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950324)
I got 2 files for CWM "chargemon" and "recovery.tar" from the ZIP file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=627115&d=1308237137 (from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106146)

Very useful, thank you. I usually spend a couple of minutes re-installing CWMR via a root explorer and it annoys me. This saves 10-20 minutes per restore

@easyyu
I am sorry that your phone got bricked. Unfortunately you will need to reflash your phone via SEUS. After that check your phone settings are the same as mine below. The 3 files work with my phone settings.
My X10 Mini Pro has the following Settings->About Phone
Model number U20i
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband version M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel version 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Build number 2.1.1.A.0.6​
@svyr
Can you confirm that the above settings are the same as in your phone. This would confirm that the 3 files work for my phone settings.

yes, the above settings from about are the same on my phone.
Hmmm, just reflashed again, ran it and forgot to include busybox/rebooted.
Now it says it can't copy the files/files are read-only and system
Any ideas?
Aside from following the 'do not reboot' (edit: ran superoneclick again and it's all good (re-run the script))
Can't vouch for the busybox/etc set above, but the on I always used still works when installed this way instead of manually.

ps here's the one I use. Can't remember where the chargemon is from, but busybox is from xrec mini and CWM is 3.2.0 rc3
I made this, a lot of test give a lot of success, but it's only for mini pro.
CWM recovery by this script easily: http://www.multiupload.com/NDZB8HSIOV
Heres more easy way to install cwm or xrecovery or jit or apps2sd
this is basically quangnhut123's AAIS script, I modified it to add cwm support,
heres the link to download http://www.4shared.com/file/KQf9bym2/AAIS.html
heres the steps to follow
1) Download n extract the aais.zip to /sdcard
2)Open terminal emulator(available on market)
3) enter following commands
su
cd /sdcard/aais
Sh install.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4) choose ur option and enter the no.
plz note it requires pre rooted device! Only for mini pro! 2.1.1.A.0.6!
Why not try D4rK's recovery installer? It is a one-click installer which lets you choose from xrecovery or CWM...Google search D4 recovery installer
For recovery I made this: http://www.multiupload.com/QE60V6RORD
It works like a charm, thanks to the script xrecovery of mikevhl
Maybe someone could make a script like that for mini ?
D4rK's recovery installer ? I can't find it, even with the google's help...

when i tried it, it didn't work on sdk 7 or was it 8...
What do you mean by sdk 7 or sdk 8? Someone mentioned sdk numbers before. Is this something to do with downloading the complete android stuff onto my windows pc just to get the adb command? This is why I thought using the adb in SuperOneClick was so useful.

no, I thought it was about downloading the SDK, but it's actually about the runtimes on the phone... I think (the only way to change them is pretty much by getting a rom with newer ones )

[Root]65.1.21.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03 and 65.1.21.XT910.MERetail.en.03

hi
Worked root 2.3.5 65.1.21.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03 and 65.1.21.XT910.MERetail.en.03
[Instruction]
Install USB Drivers
Extract Motofail_windows.zip Package
Enable debugging on device. Settings -> Application -> Development -> Tick USB Debugging
Connect device to PC
Test if device is recognised in command prompt using ADB Devices (Optional)
Run the Run.bat
Enjoy
Download

It's works, on my RAZR XT910 Asia, SEAOP.
I am using GNU/Linux and this how I re-ROOT my RAZR back.
Note: Only for advanced and know what todo users. Actually this is for anyone who knows how to use adb or fastboot, either in GNU/Linux, OSX or Windows.
1) I already installed the adb and fastboot in $PATH.
2) Extract the motofail exploit
3) cd /to/motofail
4) $ adb push motofail /data/local/.
5) $ adb shell 'chmod 755 /data/local/motofail'
6) $ adb shell '/data/local/motofail exploit'
7) $ adb reboot
8) $ adb remount
9) $ adb push su /system/xbin/.
9a) $ adb shell 'chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su'
10) $ adb shell '/data/local/motofail clean; reboot'
11) Install Superuser from Market.
If you already rooted your RAZR, but had been removed by OTA, you can skip step 9) to re-ROOT your RAZR. .
Note and suggestion: DO NOT push Superuser.apk to /system/app . It is wise to INSTALL from Market or do $ adb install -r Superuser.apk. Better to remove /system/app/Superuser.apk before reinstall the Superuser.apk from Market or adb : $ adb shell 'rm /system/app/Superuser.apk'
You can remove the motofail later;
$ adb shell 'rm /data/local/motofail'
You can read run.bat to see the commands involved.
Thank you...

So do I extract Doomlords' package [from other threads] or do I extract the ATTACHED package? Namely, Motofail_windows.zip.
Edit: Turns out that the "Doomlord's Package" in the instructions was for the attached pacakge. I've successfully rooted my XT910 that's on 65.1.21.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03
I'm sorry
Thank you

No, there's no fastboot file for 65.1.21.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03. But you can go there by OTA Update via Moto Recovery
Do I just need to extract the motofail and run .bat file on my razr which is on new ota?

Extract motofail_windows.zip to a folder anywhere on your computer, on your desktop perhaps?
Make sure the phone is enabled for USB Debugging [Read the instructions for this]
Run "Run.bat" through your PC and the other processes will be automated.
Thank u so much bro.. I have been trying to root it after update but coludnt but ur process is tooo easy..thanks again. U r awesome..

Hey thanks for your prompt reply..
I am getting this error when i do OTA
had to get the asia rom through the method above but i can't update any OTA!
i have downloaded the asia ota and put it on my sd.
i boot into recovery and update from zip/sd card.
all goes well until half way and i get an error.
something along the lines of "assert failed: apply_patch_check("MTD:boot:8388608:c3d17a6e41533c 813209ed51dfef327df8e1f76")
E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status7 )
Installation Aborted
So i must have damaged some system files right?? Now how do i get the Fastboot files or is there any alternative as to how to go about it?
Worked for me like a charm, thx bro (651.167.19.XT910.Retail.en.EU).
Edit:
Titanium Backup said that 4755 isn't optimal for su and changed it to 6755
failed to root on my 65.1.21.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03
by manually executing the commands, i get stuck at step 9, with the error
"failed to copy 'su' to '/system/xbin/su': Read-only file system"

Oh I see that you're using manual. Give the auto one a try?
i tried the auto first, everything completed successfully but i still end up unrooted...
then i tried manually step by step and there was the error at step 9...
It seem the /system didn't remounted to rw(read/write) mode. Did the exploit success?
Do the motofail clean step, reboot and start again from step 1 again.
Good luck.

'motofail exploit' completed without error
will try flashing it again today, thanks

after rooting you got a superuser app installed in ur tab. now update it to the latest version
2.)now install terminal emulator.
3.)ok, now u have su file in /system/bin/su
so write this command in emulator system/bin/su and hit enter. you'll now get root permission.
4.) now from emulator type this:
rm /bin/su and hit enter.
5.) copy su from /system/bin/su to /system/xbin/su
for this write this command in emulator:
cp /system/bin/su /system/xbin/ and hit enter.
6.)now make a copy of ur su file from /system/bin/su
for this type command:
cp /system/bin/su /mnt/sdcard/

how to bsnl penta ws702c
pls help me root my tab .I am not expert in android.so pls help me
Rooting Android Devices
Simple way to root almost any tablet/phone is to use UnlockRoot. Download it from its website. The
free version is slightly older version and will install some free promotional software along with UnlockRoot.
Free version also comes with older version of SuperSU which does not work well with some android devices.
So one has to uninstall SuperSu using Android Home page > Settings > Apps > SuperSu > uninstall.
Try to uninstall from inside SuperSU settings does not work. It has to be uninstalled by using the Android Settings
menu.
Procedure to Root is -
A) Download & install Unlock Root (about 39MB) on PC
B) Install the USB drivers for your device before you use Unlock Root. You can usually download the drivers from
your device manufacturer's website. Or, if you received a driver CD together with your device, install the drivers
using the installer on the CD.Generic google version comes with Android SDK and can be used here.
It is also attached to this post.
B) Enable USB debugging on your tablet/phone and connect it to the PC. Notification should appear on the screen that USB debugging
is connected. Do not enable USB drives function on the device. Also check in Windows Device Manager that
"Android Composite ADB Interface" is enabled and working fine. You can also run ADB.exe in a command prompt and run command
ADB devices. This should show a list of attached devices.
C) Run Unlock Root. It will connect your device and detect the model information automatically.
After the identification of your model and Android OS, click “Root” button to start the root process. Wait for it to complete rooting.
D) Device will reboot automatically after rooting. Otherwise wait for few minutes and do it manually.
E) Unlock Root will have installed a super-user manager called SuperSU which will regulate which apps can run with all
super-user privileges. Every time a app want to run with all the rights a dialog will come up on screen asking to user to deny
or grant super-user access to the app. This list can also be managed from inside SuperSU settings menu. As mentioned above
this version installed by Unlock Root has to be uninstalled and new version installed from Play Store.
F) Download Terminal Emulator from Google Play store and run command su in it. SuperSU dialog should pop up asking permission.
If it fails run cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su to copy su command to system path.
G) Download some other apps which need super-user rights like Titanium, Helium backup or Antutu CPU master to check that
your device is properly rooted and your device will become truly yours. Be VERY CAREFUL now as it is very easy to
damage/delete important OS files and getting into trouble.

Uninstall superuser app or other similar apps
Delete legacy su binary and also the link to busybox su by using adb
to shell into the device as given below.
1) shell into the device
adb shell
2) remove existing su binary
rm -f /system/xbin/su
3) remove link to busybox su binary
rm -f /bin/su
4) copy su binary from ClockworkMod Superuser & change its ownership & mode
adb push su /system/xbin/su
chown 0:0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
5) create a link to su binary in system path
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
6) Install ClockworkMod superuser app again
7) Reboot & Enjoy

I think you dont need to put your device to recovery mode. Just use adb shell
to pull: (no need superuser privileges)
ex: format: adb pull [location of the file in the device] [to where the file is save locally]
adb pull /system/xbin/su c:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to push: (need su) since you rooted then:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
chmod 777 /system/app
then exit from devices, go to your command prompt and type:
adb push <local> <remote>

thank you mate bt i am just a noob and dont know how to use adb shell.can u tell me plzz.this will save my relationship,plz mate
Hi, sorry for late reply
I assume you have installed your device driver properly
Then install android sdk: go to developer.android.com/sdk
Follow the step to install it. If you done it properly,you will find adb command in folder installation name platform-tools
Use it in command prompt. You can type adb /? to learn its capability.
Or you just go frok my post earlier
Hope it helps
