It is my understanding that nearly all the flashing done here is with safestrap, which needs root to install. My messed up razr cannot get root and I'm wondering if there's a way to flash a different rom (even if it is stock). Since this razr is from China it does not have google apps and GPS doesn't work anymore (it worked when I was in China...)

Have you tried Dan Razr Blade Root exploit?
It's not working for European ROMs, but maybe for China will work?

Hi All,
I just got my Motorola razr XT910 in the UK and tried rooting it. The root methods for XT912 Droid Razr do not work.
Does anyoe know if there is a root method for the EU version?
I received my XT910 (Rogers Canadian Version) on Monday (had to activate and purchase to get the Sales Rep to Give me one) and while waiting to receive my Sim Unlock Code, used the quick rooting method that came out same day or so, and worked as advertised.
I followed the how to, and it was really point and click... done!

No, I tried two other methods with one click and they did not work.
Please post on appropiate forum...I believe you got a warning when posting at Development froum right?
dont ignore it please!!!
Thread Moved
Has anyone got any info on this? I am still looking to root mine. Will try some more methods tomorrow, but would want to make sure it can be done at present time.
Some reported that Pete's exploit worked flawlessly for their XT910, worth a shot.

I try all of them, but no luck, and the the software says it is for 2.3.4, not 2.3.5

Hi,
Can you not share it with those who already have the phone? It was released in Europe a few days ago.
PM me if you can please.
once you root the phone does that mean your bootloader is now unlocked?

Nope. Only gives you access to root.
Maybe you even unlocked the bootloader?

It seems it only works for vzw as I tried a few different one click methods and they al failed.
I have the VZW version and I can't get it to root. Says it is but no superuser and TIB says no go.

hi guys,
in january i bought the razr maxx in hong kong, and i updated the os to 4.0.4 and i rooted it .
now my phone is 673.94.328.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03
and it seems that motorola will not update asia retail to JB so i would to update the phone by myself.
i have read a lot about that but still i dont understand what is the best way to do that.
can i just upload the new row (RETAIL BR JB ?) with RDS lite from :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289
if yes what i have to do before?
i read about of a sort of compatibility between asia and eu retail that save some steps.
or i have to upload a Retail EU ICS and than use the OTA update ?
i'm a bit confused about the best way to do.
i understood that i have to protect the root with RootKeeper.
i read the update with :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277008
but that is a leak i dont know if it's the same.
and updating the os will i loose all the data ? can i use nandroid or something else to
backup the phone ?
tnx a lot and i hope that your answers will be helpful for other razr newbies like me
Look out into http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289 and download last fastboot names retail British and flash it via rsd lite
Now ya do not have to protect ya root because root method is available to root ya phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257137
Edit : flashing fastboot only enough and do not flash any updates or else
I know what is going on in ya mind so before asking i wanna say yeah ya can flash British retail firmware on Asian xt910 without any problem
Thanks!!
Please hit the thanks button if i helped ya in anyways !!!
tnx for the answer ... very clear ...
can i ask just about the backup ? will i loose the data ? titanium or nandroid ?
and what about the staff in the bottom of the page, what do i have to do with this stuff:
How to request for a firmware:
Submit the following files (using adb pull):
/system/default.prop
/system/build.prop
MSU.txt of Motorola Software Update (You only need the version of Flex)
Configuration > About phone > Screenshot
NOTE: I only MIGHT find that firmware or newer version of it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
tnx a lot
very kind
Yes ya will loose all ya data ( not ya external SD card data but it will wipe all data of ya internal storage so be careful make a back up before flashing )
That is for requesting to make fastboot if its not available .
What all ya need to do is just download British retail and flash without worry and then root if ya want .
Edit : Nandroid and titanium backup wont work once ya update to jellybean so better ya make a back up of all ya apps so ya can install it back without any issues
Thanks!!
Please hit the thanks button if i helped ya in anyways !!!
tnx a lot
i totally appreciated ur help
Once ya successfully updated to jb let me know
Thanks!!

Hi guys,
Do I need to have root before flashing this british version? Can I safely flash this without root on asia retail 4.0.4?

No it is not necessary to be rooted to update to jellybean but we recommended that if ya want root access on jellybean because root method wasn't available for jellybean .
Since it is available now ya can root ya RAZR by that method and moreover if ya not rooted and don't want root ya RAZR on jellybean , No problem ya can go ahead and flash Eu jellybean on Asian ics

Use the easy root under development
Root method is available for getting root on jellybean but thats kinda tough and most of the folks unabke to understand because it is not one cluck root method neither works on windows but i hope ya can do that if ya see this thread with video explaination.
Its actually not tough if ya see the video and try to follow the instruction properly as therazrguy is saying .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2298408
Its impossible to downgrade to ics ot gb because once ya upgrade ya cdt.bin will be changed , due to that and our locked bootloader we cant downgrade .
Thanks!!

You can't downgrade on Moto phones once you've upgraded...
This is coz Moto updates the bootloader...
Hence the only thing you can do is patiently wait for 4.4.4 stock firmwares to be uploaded and flash that...
Or try CM11 for condor in the meantime...
Here's the link... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798015
Still if you want 4.4.2 stock ROM, here you go... http://www.mediafire.com/download/m7g757bn5uydrh8/RETAIL-DSDS_CONDOR_KXC20.82-14_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
