Download the rooted one from the root no trip flashcounter thread. Spend the five bucks on mobile Odin. Done.
Not rooted and I don't plan to. Hey gunnyman, you did this for me for the last OTA update, mind doing it again? Please?

There isn't an ota. Kies only.
You still can't get the file and put it up for me and others to download?

At least for me, I can't use my work email when rooted (GOOD for enterprise) or use ISIS. I'm in one of the ISIS test markets, so I got the SIM and everything.

I've been using Good on a rooted device for 6 months, both S2/S3 and various ICS/JB/AOKP roms. I know Good used to not run on a rooted device, but I don't think that is the case anymore. ISIS, now that I know nothing about

4.0 has that feature also.. Jelly bean let's you resize it though.. Just slightly.. And the feature only works with the built in video player.. Not with YouTube, Netflix etc.
So basically you can only use that feature from some Facebook videos and videos you have in your own phone

Buy the freegee app in the playstore (only a dollar), its by far the easiest way to unlock.. Make sure you're rooted first though

We always hear the bad in everything, and seldom the good. That being said, there are 100's if not 1000's of people that have rooted and unlocked successfully. But there is always that chance. That's why the disclaimers.
Here's some threads in case you get into trouble.

Yes I used freegee on two devices.. Its only a small percentage of devices that wouldn't work with the app. If by chance your device doesn't work, then you'll have to jump on irc to pick up a specially made version of freegee.. I believe autoprime has it.

You beat me by 10 minutes - just saw it there as well - doesn't say when, but at least we know it's coming -
Very cool. But my only concern is that if I go back to the stock ROM, And take the 4.4 OTA update,... I will lose my unlocked bootloader. Not sure. But if or when Kit-Kat comes to the RAZR M,.... I'll wait for a custom ROM version. Thanks for great news and the heads up.

I wouldn't worry. When Dan cracked the boot loader he made it crystal clear that it is physically impossible to relock due to the nature of the qfuse. So they may break other things like root ... But they can't relock your boot loader.
At the beginning of the link they say they will tell you when the update will happen but that information isn't given in the razr m section. Am I missing something?

Do you have any warranty left on your phone? If you do, rooting may trip the Knox counter and void the warranty.
I'm not worried about the warranty I just want my phone to be better
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Rooting will certainly allow you to remove bloatware and the like.
Do you have VMWare on your mac? If you do, you may be able to follow one of the 4.3 rooting guides that requires a PC.
No I don't have amything. So I need a step be step that can be used on a Mac.

If you bought an att note 8, the model number is actually i467.
There is a method to root our device, but since it has a locked boot loader we do not have the ability to install a custom recovery or flash custom Roms yet...
Hopefully someone smarter than me can figure that out...

I used SafeRoot to root mine. I followed the method in the [ROOT] Saferoot: Root for VRUEMJ7, MK2, and Android 4.3 thread including the Tomsgt YouTube video instructions and had no problems.

Yeah, there is no ROMs available but you do have the option for 4.3.x or 4.4.x when AT&T decides to update.
I have no issues with AT&T 4.1.2 once I safe rooted.
Had purchased new in March, and is the best $220 for a unlocked US tablet I ever spent.
Pretty much the same setup as what I have on my Note 8.0 WIFI only.

Use SafeRoot. Easiest safest way possible. 10 seconds to Root. Done. Search the forum. There are a few straight forward easy guides to get the job done.
