any one know how to unlock bootloader of this version? I want to update rom but the lock bootloader deny it.

[SamuriHL]

Let's consult the first post in the thread about that.....hey OP, can they unlock?

 

QUESTION: I'm on blah blah blah release and want to unlock but it's been patched in my version.  Can I downgrade and unlock?

ANSWER: NO

Hiya, noob here.  Thanks for the root kit.  Looks like the install was a success on my XT926 (looking at the Kernel version), but question --  Before running the root kit I could ping my phone (when on wi-fi) from another PC, now I cannot.  I'm trying to use BBQscreen to share my screen but the PC-side app times out trying to communicate with my phone and I'm wondering if this is related to the root kit.  Any ideas on tweaks or something else I need to unlock so I can ping (and otherwise communicate with the phone) from other PCs on the network?  The phone is fine for outbound internet access via wi-fi or mobile data.  Thanks for any help...

UPDATE -- Not sure if it's related but when I was able to ping the phone before rooting, the phone had both wi-fi and mobile data turned on, but the wi-fi network I was using was standalone (no internet access).  Now I am using a different wi-fi network which does have internet access.   I just noticed that if I switch mobile data off for the phone, then I can suddenly ping the phone from the wi-fi network.  It will work for my purposes but I welcome any links to locations where I can learn  more about network security settings in Android...  Thx!

MANY thanks for developing this!  My previous Razr HD was stolen and when I got my replacement it'd already been updated and the bloatware was driving me CRAZY!  Thank you thank you thank you!  Worked perfectly!

im probably the only idiot having this problem, but i cant find the 9.18.79 file @ sbf dev. i used the "mr2" file and that didnt put me on it, also used the 98.1q.79 and that put me on 9.20.1. im at a loss, i used to be on 9.18.79 but i took the ota to get to it. i need the direct files to flash for something im working on.

 

thanks for any help.

[SamuriHL]

They are one in the same.  79 is 20.1.

Thank you! Painless and quick root for Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD (XT926) on 9.18.79.  Verizon Wireless 10/8/2013. Appreciate the work!

[MahoVader]

Huge thanks to all responsible for this root method!!!!

 

A question though, TrendMicro thinks that the zip has a virus:  motochopper_1.3_xt926.zip\pwn

Identified as ANDROIDOS_ROOTRAZR.A

 

I know virus checkers occasionally don't like these root files, but pwn sounded suspicious. For you guys who know what's supposed to be in there, does that sound odd? Just wondering if your zip might have been compromised.

 

Thanks!

[SamuriHL]

LMAO!  No, it's fine.  It came directly from Dan.  But it's funny that they flagged it as an "OMGZ PONIES ROOT EXPLOIT!"  LOL

HA! That's what I figured! Just thought I'd better double check Thanks again, SamuriHL! Off to rooting land.

 

Edit:  WOOT, I'm back rooted baby. Thanks guys! That's much better

 

Really weird, newest version of Trend Micro Titanium absolutely doesn't like the pwn file. Had to disable antivirus to root. (In case anyone else has this issue)

Noob here,
Currently trying to use this script to Root. Device has been camping on this:

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

For some (10-15 minutes) time now. IS this normal or did I break it?

Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I did check that this script was for my phone and all drivers are up to date.

[lucky51551]

It says up top under stuff you need "SamuriHLs downgrade xml.zip
That's the script and the files which I packaged together

If your bootloader is unlocked, you'll just need to flash a SU zip in recovery to gain root access and call it a day.

[smartjon]

for the people that would like to know, this works on 9.20.1  at least for me and i previously had an unlocked bootloader but no root.  any ideas on how to relock the bootloader for verizon stuff?

[SamuriHL]

Yes.  You don't.  Unlock is permanent.

I am new here... I can't find a better place to say thank you and it worked like a charm! Thanks! D.
