I was wondering is it possible to root the Droid Razr without the use of a PC? I ask this question cause I don't own a PC and I am fairly new to this setup. So if anyone can answer this for me I would greatly appreciate it.

As far as I know it is not possible to root without the use of a computer. I believe you must use an unlock utility to gain root access and therefore would need the use of a computer. The process isnt long at all so maybe a friend could let you run the utility on his computer?

If I were to use super one click to unroot my atrix, would I have to removed any other things to be able to bring the phone back to factory settings? Does super one click remove the super user app? Or would I have to do that manually after or before the unroot? Same question for non-market place apps. I was going to return the phone to get it cheaper somewhere else.
Super One click appears to not unroot completely. After unrooting, GOOD fir enterprise and busybox still thinks the phone is rooted....

anyway to confirm this further? It is kind of a show stopper for me in rooting the phone.
Don't use SuperOneClick to root the phone, use aRoot in the development section instead, as its specifically for the Atrix, and can unroot.

2nd this.
SuperOneClick seems to create a little busybox mess since it's more of a universal phone tool, rather then Atrix specific.

hey I was wondering what the best possible way to unroot my atrix is.. Preferably on a mac because I don't have easy access to a pc
What did you use to root? I seen GladRoot added a unroot script recently.. Besides that I would say sbf, but not sure about on a mac.

So maybe you want to sbf..
ok I got a question that needs a straight answer. I have a atrix4G from bell its on stock without root or anything. I have a lapdock coming in the mail!
What i would like to know is can i use the phone with the lapdock after i rooted and de-bloatware it??
even if i dont de-bloatware it can i use the phone rooted with the lapdock or will that be a problem. I just have some apps i want that need root
if i can is there anything that i need to do that is different then the normal root procedure?
thanks in advance and sorry if this sounds like a dumb question.
Root isnt a problem, but some of the moto system apps are needed.
Can I get rid of blur? And still use lapdock?

yes you can as long as you are running stock rom/kernel underneath
if you managed to delete your webtop you can install Rom Manager, install ClockworkMod Recovery within rom manager, and flash the appropriate version of webtop (find it in the fruitcakes thread in the developer section).
Looking for some help everyone.
Since I got the phone here in the UK, I have rooted it with the Bionic Bootstapper method, then the Razr Bootstrapper method and even though I thought I used Voodoo Rootkeeper, when I did my update to 2.3.6 via RSD I have since lost root again.
Now I believe I can root again with Motofail, but I cant find the app for this. I have looked in the Dev section and see a utility tool for GSM & CDMA but only the CDMA one appears to say root 2.3.6 motofail, the GSM one doesnt.
1. Can anyone help me with the right location of Motofail that will work for my phone ? 651.167.19.XT910.Retail.en.EU
2. Will I then be able to reapply the boot into CWM direct from start-up again ?
3. How do I get rid of the Bionic & Razr bootstrapper apps/utilities whatever they are if they they are no longer required.
Thanks in advance for your help
Can you not just uninstall the bootsrap apps? I can on my RAZR. Either by long press on their icon and then 'uninstall' our through the manage apps menu.
What fast boot files did you use to get to 2.3.6 on UK
I can't post links as this is my second post but googling root Droid razr 2.3.6 comes up with what you need.

bootstrap and safestrap
I recently rooted my razr; for the most part to use Setcpu for better battery life. My question is: which is better to use, bootstrap or safestrap when it comes down to flashing a rom? I have seen that safestrap is preferred b/c you can boot into safe mode so if there's an issue with the rom you can revert back.
any help would be appreciated.

In reverse order:
3. You need to be root to remove old boot managers. (use a root file manager to get ride of old apps when rooted - zedomax "Max Lee" in youtube have a nice how-to manually remove those old apps)
2. After re-rooting you'll be able to reinstall CWM, safestrap 2.0, if you wish.
1. Try installing cdma root method, it's the same apps that will be installed anyway, seems to be just a wrong device identification done by the utility you're using.
Thanks

I'm just going to apologize in advance if this is in the wrong thread.
I have a VZW GS4 (4.3 MJ7) and I'm very interested in Xposed Framework. Obviously, I'll need to root the phone, which I'm open to completely, and I have rooted in the past. The only two root methods I was able to find were Kingo and Vroot, which, as many of you most likely know, are suspected of containing malware. I have searched and searched, seemingly forever, and cannot find a reliable root method. Is anyone aware of something I can do to root?
By the way, my primary computer is running Ubuntu 13.10, I'd prefer a root method that can be carried out on my primary computer, if not, I do have an old desktop running Windows XP. At this point anything that can get me rooted I'll be happy with.
Unfortunately there are not any other root methods... And I got my new phone with mj7 already on it... And I don't trust vroot so I'm waiting. But many others have had no ill effects doing so.
Here is a topic where most of this is being talked about.

In the Verizon galaxy s4 general there are maybe 1 or 2 more topics also I personally just keep checking back.
