I have some issues going on with my phone since rooting. I use matt's utility 1.82 and seems like i have tons of issues with trying roms. Every rom i try has the same issue. Wifi doesnt stay connected and i cant get my cpu speeds to set.
So I have seen in other forums other ways to root your razr. Which root methods does everyone like best and have the best/most success with?
Thanks for the help guys.
do you have a gsm or CDMA version?

I would recommend you EasyRootICS, worked everytime for me without issues and takes only 1-2 minutes!
You can find it in the developer forum, just use the search function!
Motofail never gave me a problem

So i used EasyRootICS and it seemed to work fine, but i still have the issue where my WiFi wont stay connnected or if i leave the area where my wifi is, it wont connect back up. I have to reboot the phone to connect again. Doesnt matter what ROM i am using, they all do the same thing.

I often noticed that issue, too...
Which ROMs did you test so far?
I used Matt Goff's 1.82 utility no problems
I have tried using Wizzed Bean, Red Tide, and Full Throttle. I am currently running Wizzed Bean and everytime i restart my phone. all my setting reset. i have re installed the rom, wiped cache/delvik still same issues. I might just go back to stock ICS and wait out for Official JB.
Seriously, try Matt's 1.82, Safestrap 3.05, and the CM10 spyder. Running great for me, not going back to the bloat, secret data recording, and delayed updates.

Sorry to take so long to answer-- need to get push notifications for this going or something.
I started with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927747
But some of the information in that thread is out of date- so make sure you read the latest posts. Also, with Safestrap, I am not sure you have to root your stock install, but I did at the beginning just because I thought I had to before understanding the whole process. Also, Matt's is not the only way to root. So my sequence went something like this:
Rooted with Matt's 1.82 utility:
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...-182-windows-for-verizon-droid-razrmaxx-only/
Again, this is getting out of date. I did not install the Safestrap 2.X from here. Instead, I found the latest Safestrap with instructions here:
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
Finally, you can get the latest CM10 spyder builds by Hashcode here:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/spyder/cm10
I am currently running the Nov. 1 version, but I see there's a Nov. 10 now. Now to figure out how to upgrade without blowing it all away!
YMMV, HTH, yada yada

Forgot how much fun a rooted phone is.

This is a patch to fully enable GSM on every Stock Rom, on every AOSP Rom and on every Android version.
This in not for US users, in US the GSM is locked in RIL.
Release 4.x
This patch will enable:
-GSM
-SMS
-MMS
-3G Data
-USSD Code
-Call Forwarding
I'm constantly updating only this main thread and I will answer only in it, I have no time to update and control every thread in sub-forums.

Kernel
First of all, thanks for the patch.I'm planing to use it for the eclipse rom.
But there is still a problem.The kernel.Some roms are based on the american kernel.And flashing that kernel on eu devices will take me to fastboot mode even with the cid partition erased.
But i guess that this problem needs to be discussed with the rom developer.

Thanks.I'm running jelly bean,so I cant flash the rom.Too bad
We managed it to boot stock Rom on kexec kernel finally . I will release a kexec patch + gsm patch tonight. Then you can run any rom while the stock kernel doesn't matter. I will do the same for cdma, so cdma users can run any gsm rom. The kernel will be a unmodified one, no extras so far. Keep in mind that JBX KERNEL will not with with it!
The first bigger project for advanced stock experience is catalyst 3 rom on JBX Kernel. Maybe also tonight ..

I cant wait mate Great Work!!!
Btw: This "patch" doesn't work for GSM users - only for XT912 which is in GSM networks. The ril libs are responsible, so XT910 users will not be able to pass SIM pin.
But doesn't matter. I made a new GSM patch for it..

I'm using Safestrap, Hyperdrive and this module. Wifi works know and it didn't before. I would like to report that me and at least one other are having problems with screen rotation. It works in camera but not in any other app. People with different builds seem to not have this problem.
Rotation is working only in the Samsung camera, tested other samsung apps as well. Attached some logs of toggling the rotation on/off and trying to rotate the screen if it helps.
Is there a fix for the screen rotation problem?
Do I just flash this like any other kernel?
Thanks.

Safestrap doesn't work on MJ7, so stay with an earlier build if you want to get it to work.
There are people building ROMs based on 4.3, so look around and hang in there. They'll become available.
So is there a fix for the broken rotation?
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.

I've had Safestrap on my wife's XT912 for a long time and I haven't touched her phone for a few years. The Safestrap version on her phone is 3.11. I need to turn off Safestrap so I can boot the phone into BPTools mode. Unfortunately, Safestrap is no longer installed on her phone's stock slot (not sure why...) I've looked everywhere for the original apk but can't find it anywhere.
Does anyone know of a mirror of older Safestrap versions, specifically 3.11? Or can someone please post the Safestrap Spyder v3.11 apk?
Thanks!

I did end up finding a version that I initially thought wasn't compatible but turned out to be compatible. I found "Safestrap-RAZR-D4-BIO-3.11.apk" on an old how-to site and after doing a bunch more reading and seeing dead links with the same name in threads related to my phone, I realized that it would work after all. Finally, the phone is on 3.75 and I can enable and disable at will.
@Guapo613 Thanks for the offer, but I'm good now! (Hope you didn't go to any trouble - I didn't reply til after work!)
