Sounds like you still have stock recovery. Are you sure you renamed the recovery.sh file?

It's 2 separate exploits you need. The root exploit is just that. Once rooted you can use the bootloader exploit. This thread pertains to getting TWRP on your device.

my bad, i thought the motochopper gave root AND unlocked bootloader. i can't seem to find the independent bootloader exploit though?

Nothing will let me change the name. File Explorer, Astro, etc. I definitely have Superuser loaded.......

Ok, finally got that file renamed, and still getting Angry Android penis..........

[dobbsjacobs]

Ah, good. Angry penis finally went away. You know, having had this phone for 6 months it made me forget all the Android tricks I knew from my previous HTC and Samsung phones. Apparently I am rusty. Damn Verizon and Motorola.

Thanks this Angry Penis comment really gave me a good laugh.

Do you have a unlocked bootloader and root? also are your fastboot files up to date?

yes on bootloader and root. following instructions from the video, using the fastboot files from the motopocalypse utility folder

That is funny are you sure you typed the command right? and did you do a fastboot devices command first to make sure the device is working?

yea i did, and it says "sending 'recovery' (7428 KB)" but doesn't proceed to the next step. tried a new copy of the twrp file listed, and a restart of the phone and did the whole process a few times. oh well, not so urgent that it needs to be done asap. just so pumped about rooting and unlocking this phone that i thought would always be stuck with stock!

try a different USB port some times that fiixes it.

that did it. funny story, that USB port seems to work just enough to get the root and bootloader unlock completed, but perhaps not enough to charge as well. battery died right after my last post. phone kept rebooting saying flash failure. felt some bile rising in throat. then i saw your post, switched to a different port, and voila no problems. who has two thumbs and is relieved? this guy.... thanks again you rock!

Is it suppose to recognize as an XT925 on a XT926 phone?

For the record I reinstalled the driver on my pc and that fixed it

So I can't seem to rename the install-recovery.sh file. Every time I rename it, it changes right back to it's original name. I've tried  ES File Explorer, and Root File Manager and both do the same exact thing. Any thoughts??

Use the new DROID RAZR HD 1.20 Utility to install Recovery (TWRP or CWM) and it will automate the process. Might be worth a shot.
