Root - Motorola Droid RAZR

No matter if I root on my Mac, or a PC, the root cannot find the device. I'm using a friend's Droid Razr when my Galaxy is getting repaired, but I need root for it to work on AT&T. Please help with a method. On PC I did install drivers.

So... has something changed I thought the RAZR, RAZR maxx, and droid 4 was unable to use us gsm?

Correct on Verizon ones, they are CDMA only. heard it both ways on the global razrs, but have never cared to look into it myself.

I just traded my galaxy nexus for a razr maxx today. I don't really care about down grading from ics cuz I know eventually the razr will get and I had the itch to move to another device.

Good timing, Verizon started to send out the OTA today, but there could be 2 weeks where it's distributed to everybody. :laugh:

Congrats! Wait a week or two and you will have a great phone gbread maxx is nice...but I have ics leak 211 on mine and its great! Enjoy
Looks like the previous owner rooted the phone but left the stock rom on here. Will still get the OTA or will be blocked?

It will lose root, but the OTA will go through fine.
Cool thanks. I really don't think I want to root this thing.

I recommend unrooting with Matt's utility just in case. You will get the update, but there could be issues. That is not the case most of the time, but it sometimes happens. I think it was a DROID pro update that messed up rooted phones. You should be fine though...

Verizon Droid RAZR on gsm networks

Has anybody tried the official ics update on at&t or T-Mobile? I'm just wondering if it actually works or what. Thank you for any answers and for looking. And yes I know there is a thread saying you could force it to work.

it was unlocked for Global GSM use
i believe it's still locked for domestic use
i'm pretty sure there was a work around for that thou
OK. That wouldn't surprise me knowing verizon.

Locked Bootloader?

How do I know if I have a locked bootloader?
I read in wikipedia that the international version has an unlocked bootloader, is this true?
Does that mean that if I bought my phone out of the us (Mexico) I have an unlocked bootloader?
Cheers
I'm pretty sure (not 100% though) that the only version with an unlocked bootloader is the Developer Version.

Yes, you said right.

Ok and how do you know if you have a devolpers device?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
You would know. It would have said on the box, and you would have had to buy it straight from Motorola for full retail price instead of through a retailer or phone store with a subsidized price.

this is odd because when i got my new razr it had the cwm9 android icon on the desktop when i first turned it on
i bought it at beast buy and didnt pay anything extra for it but i doubt its a dev version
Minr also has a devolpment id number as well under the devolpers options.....

Not sure what the id number in "developer" section of the settings menu means, but any device with ICS has that in the menu now, doesn't mean its a developer phone.

XT910 to Verizon

I just purchased a 910 RAZR and didn't think to ask the model beforehand. It was being used on a Movil network and i want to use it on Verizon. What do i need to do to make it work with Verizon?

You can always trade it with my XT912. Otherwise it won't happen. XT910 is GSM only. You need a CDMA compatible device. PM me if you'd like to trade

I think this tool is pretty simple, clear and easy. Just follow the steps and give it a go. In the worst scenario, if you do something wrong, root won't be achieved, so nothing will actually change. But it's really easy, seriously.
