I apologize if this has been asked b4 but I am looking for the least likely to mess up root method for my wifes droid razr. I am very new to rooting and successfully rooted my droid 4 with the droid4 utility. Please point me in the direction for something similar for the razr

First you need to root, check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818758
and if you are on 2.3.5 the only rom available is Eclipse, but its a good one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198857
I'd recommend sbf-ing back to 2.3.4 using RSD Lite. The X2 2.3.5 update, as far as I know, is not able to be rooted unless you root it while it's on 2.3.4 and then protect root before you apply the update. I'd go with the CM7 ROM which requires 2.3.4; been using it for 2 months with no issues.
2.3.5 is rootable, I know because I helped make it work, for the X2

Lol yea man. Movin back into College Park in a week or two.
And Shadow, my bad. I ran into you on another thread as well. I was unaware 2.3.5 could be rooted, I've been out of the loop for a while. Kudos for getting it rooted!!
i know this is going to be the deal breaker but i have a mac... and i cannot run those files///

There is a one-click root method in the development section I believe. That is what I used

TY good sir, my mom thanks you for saving her aging device :highfive:
Worked Like a Charm
Dec 13, 2013 - Worked like a charm on my XT912 AFTER I downloaded latest drivers from motorola and updated them on my PC. (wasn't working at first).
Try googling Matts Utility for Droid razr Jellybean. I would post the link but I'm not allowed to yet. It's a one click, easy method of rooting and restoring your phone if it breaks.
I also used Matt's utility. It was very user friendly.
So I have seen numerous threads here on how to install a ROM to upgrade to 4.1.2, but I am not sure how to begin if my phone is already running that software. How would I root the phone?
Use Matt's utility.

Guys,
I'm desperate. I updated my Maxx (which I love) to 4.4 before my company did their security testing. Subsequently, the 4.4 update failed testing with corporate policies. Today I got email stating that I have to "return" my phone to IT by Jan 31. The 4.2.2 build works perfectly with corporate security policies.
Is there any way possible to revert to 4.2.2? I have downloaded installed and successfully got RSD Lite working but I don't think I can downgrade due to security differences...please help me if you know ANY WAY TO GET BACK...they are probably going to stick me with a Windows Phone until an update can be done that will fix the issues.
Argh!!!!
Thanks in advance.

You can revert to stock using Matt's utility (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192467). This will get you back to 4.1.2 though (I think).

No dice guys. I am wondering if a true Verizon Tech would be able to revert this device back to 4.2.2. I posted on the other thread but the software is not possible from Matt to revert back to 4.2.2.
Any ideas on getting back to 4.2.2?
Dude, you have the new Maxx. You have posted in the old Razr Maxx section, so the utility wont work. You need to find the new Droid Maxx section of these forums.
EDIT: You might ask the guys here if it is possible to rollback: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616104
Or use RSD: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=4, but I guess if you took the official update you can't rollback... If you flashed through SS or something you probably can.

Sorry for the ignorance. I couldn't find the New DROID Maxx forum. I scrolled all the way through but maybe I missed it. Yes, RSD Lite does not work since I accepted the 4.4 update. Thanks for your input.

dude, we can't help you out because you're in the wrong development device page, head to the Droid RAZAR HD (XT926) and you'll be better supported over there, ok?
