), has successfully achieved root for the JB OTA and it's here first on DR.com! This root exploit is applicable to the RAZR and RAZR MAXX (XT912).

This means all of you who lost root through the OTA update will now be able to root your devices once again.

A huge thanks to Mr. Rosenberg for all his hard work and dedication! He is the first one to achieve root so, as promised, the bounty is his.

Great news for all! Thanks Dan for your awesome work.

[jburchii]

Please excuse my complete ignorance...

Will there be a utility like Matt's Utility to install this?

[SamuriHL]

Dan usually releases them as a zip file with all the necessary files to run the exploit as a batch file. Others may eventually incorporate it into their utilities. Obviously giving Dan credit for the exploit when doing so!

[T3T3droid]

Dan Rosenberg comes through again!! Thanks man!!

[Mr. Orange 645]

Literally last night I was thinking that we might never get root on JB. Of course that didn't stop me from religiously checking this site after work today. I'm so happy to be wrong.

Thanks, Dan!! Donation coming your way...just gotta warm up the laptop and root this thing first. LOL.

[jayrod]

I don't have a RAZR, but I just want to thank you for all that you have done with getting us the ability to do the things that we can. Without root on a locked boot loader, all we have are fancy web browsing, text messaging glorified phones!

Thank you for your past contributions as well as your present one!

Looks like they skipped the Smart Actions step to me.
