OP. The root worked great. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to post this. Thank you!   

[Caleb]

I accidentally installed the 4.3...still have root though.

So I kept hitting update later thinking I would wait to get un-lazy and put on CM.. when one morning the girlfriend turned off alarm and hit update

 

Thanks a million for the re-root     

[onecloaked]

Just wanted to mention that my Razr M has version 98.16.3.XT907 and this root method worked perfectly.  Thanks!

[LarrysAndroid]

So I loved Root but it's just not enough for me. I run out of space to easily because I love apps (I guess) and with a backup stored it hogs the space. Since I used this what do I need to do to unroot?

Put your backups on the external SD?

Hey I just ran run.bat and finished the rooting process and now when my phone turns on it just says "Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure

usb connected.....I'm assuming this is bad. I have the correct version of the phone and software, trust me I checked. The batch file was a little weird in that it said root completed.....press enter to restore boot.img? should I have just exited out of the file and not pressed enter? It was working fine until I continued to run it...

 

 

edit: fixed it by running the last part of the .bat file again...good thing that worked or i would be screwwwwed!

[livinginkaos]

The boot img flash was returning you to the proper boot img do it was a good thing to do. It will boot into fastboot automatically everyone it is restarted if a flash fails for any reason. Glad you got it going. My advice was going to be to run it again

just used this procedure on my RAZR M and worked perfectly. Now gotta figure out what to do next. from what I'm reading, not much more I can do since I updated.

[td030981]

I'm with Don. Got the root to work perfectly. Thanks. But now I'm stuck. Can't add any roms. I've only seen one rom with safestrap. Hmmm what's next lol. But thanks again for the root. sent using my fast Razr M (rooted)

Root worked perfectly on my Razr m. I wanted to remove the bloatware!  :

FYI, for anyone that has recently received a Motorola RAZR M - XT907

 

I got a Moto Razr M - XT907 about a month ago from Verizon. This is my first phone with JellyBean, didn't realize I couldn't save app data on SD, and was stuck with only capacity of internal SD. So glad I found this forum and was able to root, so I can use apps to link my app data, to my parted SD card, as I have now saved a whole lot of space on the internal SDcard.

Stock ROM, I just wanted to get rid of bloatware and fully utilize External SD Card, so bootloader is still locked. I have installed Link2SD, System App Mover, ES File Explorer, FolderMount, and Root Browser to address my file location issues. I will probably need to install a custom recovery, as of now I'm still using stock, but just glad I can get my app data on my Ext4 Partition. Also, I used a USB adapter to partition my microSD on my old Window XP system. 

Everything seems to be working great, with nearly all of my internal SD 4GB still available

 

Note: I got a call from Verizon Rep about 2 or 3 days after getting phone, asking if everything was alright, in retrospect I wonder if they were checking to see if I had any issues with not being able to manage using external SD Card Space.

Good info for sending data to your external.  However, on that system version you won't be able to unlock the bootloader and load an aftermarket recovery.

i used this and it worked great i am now running bean stalk 4.3 but i did this before the latest ota 

[Stabone]

I'm new to the Razr M. I've seen a few people mention that we can't do much after getting root since the bootloader is locked. I just got the phone yesterday and have 98.16.3, not rooted yet. I was going to run this later today to get root.

 

Without the bootloader unlocked and this update, is that meaning no rom flashing even with just root? I only really wanted root for greenify anyway and was planning on staying stock, but I was curious.

 

I've had the Razr the last 2 years. I haven't had to deal with bootloaders in a while so I'm really rusty on them.

 

Thanks

[brianjamiel747180]

I do believe u are stuck until someone figures out how to beat the bootloader lock but since the person who unlocked the other bootloader on the older RAZR m stopped were Sol right now
