Hello,
Hopefully I'm not posting this in the wrong area (sorry if I am)
I have a Verizon Droid Razr Maxx HD and have been having problems since the Kit Kat (4.4.2) OTA update. As it was updating there seemed to be a glitch of some type and the phone has had numerous problems since, I've done a factory reset 5 times with no improvement and somehow have lost the ability to wipe my cache using the volume button method. Is there somewhere I can download the stock update or full install file and then overwrite the existing ROM?
The phone info is:
Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD
Android version 4.4.2
System Version 183.46.10XT926.Verizon.en.US
Never Rooted
Any help would genuinely be appreciated, I fairly proficient with a PC but a noob with Android.
Thanks in advance.
Well the bad news is you are in the wrong forum. This is the non HD older RAZR forum. However the good news is I am familiar with both devices and can point you in the right direction. Download version 1.4 of this utility which is for the XT926 model. It will give you all you need to reflash kit Kat without even having to wipe data and if that doesn't help then try option 1 which is full wipe and flash!

thanks
Hi, it's the same as the Razr with an extended battery. My father has the Maxx and I have the plain old Razr XT910, so I flashed his Maxx with the same ICS leaked release, now his phone says XT910 like mine. There's plenty of Roms out there. I dual boot mine. First partition is Stock ICS and my second is Epsilon V4 (just read that they've closed the Project!). Plenty of guides on XDA to help you get to where you want.
damn i wish this thing comes to Canada...
I may sound like a noob but i have some idea of what im doing. I had a droid 2 rooted with z4 root and was running cm7. I got my razr maxx in april ran stock ics for a lil bit which i got from the soak test moto did. I decided to root it dont remeber at this moment which root utility i used, but i got it from xda. My problem is i cant find any forums for just the maxx or xt912. I loved my custom ro for my d2. Now i want jellybean or a custom rom for it. But unsure of the bootloader. Im running safestrap 2. Something. Help need info

I have rooted my month old Moto Maxx to 4.2.2 12.15.15. What are the benefits of going back to stock & taking the OTA & then trying to re-root over just installing a new ROM ..say CM? I got the message that the OTA for 4.4 is available...Whats my best bet? I'm happy just being rooted & able to get rid of the bloat.
I think you may be in the wrong device forum. This is for the Droid RAZR released in 2012. We have no OTA update for 4.4 in sight. I think your looking for the droid Maxx. That device thread can be found here:

Can the tutorials in this forum be used for the Verizon Droid Razr MAXX as well? I didnt see a specific forum for the Razr MAXX just this one and the MAXX HD. I also have a couple of other questions.
1) whats the best software for backing up my existing image incase I brick my phone?
2) Do I need a separate piece of software to back up my phone after its rooted with a new ROM?
3) Is 4.4 kitkat the latest ROM available?
4) Is the Razr MAXX capable of running 4.4?
Sorry, Im a complete noob when it comes to smartphones but I want to upgrade to 4.4 because LG has a smart watch that I want that requires 4.4 on yoru phone.
Thanks,
47 views and no one can answer these rather basic questions?

1) You can't,the best way to return to stock is with Matllgrof's utility or Rsd Lite,these are computer programs
2) You can backup your rom with the same custom recovery that allows you to flash it,Safestrap or BMM
3) Yes
4) Ofcourse
Btw,Razr Maxx and Razr are the same phones,the only difference is in the battery.

Hi. I have looked all over the forums and cannot find a way to root my Verizon Droid RAZR Maxx HD. It is:
*Android version 4.4.2
*System version 182.46.15.XT926.Verizon.en.US
*Kernel Version 3.4.42-gbd361ac
I have searched for a way to root my phone, but everything I have read says that since the update to 182.46.15 it is not possible. I do not want to unlock the bootloader, I just want to root it so I can remove some bloatware. I have tried Srsroot, and it did not work. Is there a workaround or a utility that I can use to root my phone but leave the bootloader alone? I have always rooted every phone I have ever had, with the last being my G2, but for some reason this Maxx HD is giving me issues. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
