i did get twrp back on

but no option to restore root. that appears to be in a later version of TWRP than what comes in the utility

is there a way to push the binaries for SU from within TWRP or fastboot?

 

thanks, getting closer

OK for ME, coming from a RazrM without the OTA. I followed the directions as I listed them a few posts

Is there a current Droid razr M Untlilty for 4.1.2 ?

Is there a current Droid razr M Untlilty for 4.1.2 ?

Matt was talking about this on Twitter.  He said he probably won't make a new one because there's no point.  It's not unlockable and there's already a stand alone root exploit out.  If you need to restore, just use the FXZ in RSD.  If you need to root, look up Motochopper v1.1.

At the risk of sounding a jerk, you're posting everywhere (at least on xda) with links to your... Restore file?

It's not gonna solve everyone's problems, and if you confuse the wrong person, they could very possibly brick... From my understanding of your OP, you're distributing a .XML.zip, not a utility...

It's also not very easy to read...

I have to agree about the readability. I AM trying to convey advanced restore tips along with the rsd restore steps. As well as making it readable for locked & unlocked....

 

Please I welcome you to  point out any specific shortcomings which would come near to causing a brick.

No specific problems, but it's kinda more technical... Maybe not great for brand new users...

I could probably help over PM if you wanted help rewriting it too

It is a tough read. I made it for chewing! There is a lot in there.

I'm trying to get it it, but not quite there yet... Any input would be appreciated it.

 

I have 4.1.2 System Version 98.18.78.XT907.

I've never rooted or unlocked the bootloader.

I'm bored with the phone and want to play... I'd like to have root and even try some different ROMs.

It seems from this thread that the utility is solid, yet it says at the top of

 that I should not proceed with using the utility due to the OTA update I apparently have.

 

I've [tried to] read through

post, yet (somehow) couldn't follow it.

 

I'm just wondering whether or not, given my phone's current state/version, there's anything I can do to root, unlock, and flash roms?

 

Thanks to all for your knowledge!
