Update: there is much hubub at the rzr thread as to it not working for some users.
Outcome: You must install the latest Moto USB drivers.
More hubub : see my StickyWickets.
Latest Moto USB drivers.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Here is the guts of the work around. updated 9/12/13-osx problems fixed now?
http://www.mediafire.com/download/l7qqr6xx6vt2x6u/motochopper_1_3_xt907.zip
For vzw 98.18.78 xt907 only.
If you need help search google for that file for now. Op in progress. I thought it best to spell out the steps & warnings!! (As someone did misuse this at my linking to it in it's former bare form)
Thanks to livinginkaos the real Op!
Though it is a copy of that other Great forum's Op.
Instructions:
0. You must install the latest Moto USB drivers
1. Download Motochopper_1.1.2
2. Extract files
3. Connect the phone to the computer USB 2 port
4. Ensure that USB debugging is enabled
5.*Execute the Run.bat on Windows or Run.sh on Linux/Mac
6. Follow the prompts
7. Check for root access if none goto next steps.
*
If you had previous root, sometimes it is required to clean the system partition of any remnants, so we can do that here:
*
( Partial restore steps. Note this will not substitute for a FXZ/XML restore. )
8. Download the proper system.img or system.img.ext4 for your device
9. Place the file in the motochopper_1.1.2 directory
10. Jump back to #3
StickyWickets to get over:
1. You may need to enter stock recovery & do a data wipe/reset if you hang at the big M.
To enter stock recovery (which has a bug in the secret double press action), from the dead android, you need to do any of these:
a) Press & hold both volume keys for 2 sec & release.
b) Hold volume down and tap volume up and the menu comes up.
2. Be sure to use only the fastboot in the motochopper root exploit.
WARNING: This ONLY works for the XT907 on 98.18.78. *DO NOT use it on any other device or version!!

Yes. You can also install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash SU binaries, or use a custom ROM.

I am new to this. I have not attempted to flash a custom rom yet ..the main reason I rooted was to save battery power on my razr m which is disappointing..almost dead after 4 hours of use. I am still not sure how I rooted my phone. I used Dan's method for unlocking the bootloader..when it was finished I was unlocked and rooted. which is better for beginners TWRP or CWM? thanks .

On step one it says does not recognize C/ documents as a drive. How do I push the files to my sd card?

I can't get thru step one. i put it in fast boot mode. I hit up and down and power and phone reboots into normal mode. My boot loader is still unlocked. will this utility work for me?

Just copy the file to the root of your sdcard manually, then proceed to step 2

I obtained root again with the utility. However my phone locked up when trying to upgrade from sd card. I upgraded from my phone itself again then did the last step (restore root) . Im back to a rooted razr m again and also unlocked. I was rooted and unlocked before I took the update 98.18.78 but after the update I lost root but was still unlocked. Thanks. bryan

I like TWRP the best, personally. Nothing wrong with CWM though. Safe strap was intended for locked bootloaders and not usually used with an unlocked boot loader.

As Rom Manager is to CWMR so is TWRP manager to TWRP.
But twrp seems to be a better execution.

Motochopper 1.1 for RAZR M is now available at the link in the OP. MUCH easier now to root on locked 98.18.78.

Can somebody supply this again via a different link. I'm not a fan of the way this website supplies this file. My computer identified the software that they want to download it with as malware. If somebody already has the file I would appreciate a personal exchange.

I could really use some help here. Hang with me as I explain what I've done and what's happening.
About a month ago, I checked for OTA update. .78 showed up, but, before installing, I went online to see that the new update didn't jive with rooted and BL unlocked Razr Ms. So....I've basically been hitting "remind me later", twice a day, since then. So my alarm goes off this morning and, in my foggy eyed and foggy head state, I hit install update.
Obviously, I lost root but BL is still unlocked. Thinking it would be easy to reroot, I uninstalled the superuser app. Well I tried to reroot with the motochopper in this thread and it's a no go. I run the bat file and it gets here and progresses no further. *daemon started successfully*
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Let someone else chime in, I am on a mac & rooting only is hard.
But use my restore & restore data (adv restore- cwmr) when done is easy. See goodies.

Hello I am on the latest stock, no root, no unlocked bl. It is my understanding if I choose to root it, I am limited to safestrap roms. Do any safestrap roms (which are all outdated?) provide any advantages over the latest stock?

[Q] System update HELP!

Hey XDA community,
i have recently rooted my HTC Desire 816/Virgin mobile
Currently running stock ROM
Adroid version: 4.4.2
HTC Sense version: 6.0
Software Version: 1.13.652.1
I keep getting the software update pop up for version 1.50.652.3 which i previously had before rooting
as i try update it the update is aborted
Is there anyway that i can update it and also keep my root access?
Ive tried many different ROMs although most of them seem to be inefficient as either the calling, data, or text messaging doesn't work, i would rather stick to the stock ROM until fully functional ROMs are out there.

only thing your suppose to do is just install the root,relock bootloader and flash recovery hope will work won't get aborted.....

Open SuperSU and choose unroot, flash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader and then take the update.
Then re-root the same way you did the first time.

I was simply telling them to use Google, I don't see were anything rude was said in that post. It was only 3 words, and 2 of them were Google...
But just because this is a Q&A thread, doesn't mean they should disregard any other way of getting information themselves.
Why should someone else have to take time out if there day to get the link, and give it to this person, when as I said, they can Google it.
But with that being said, I'm sorry you saw rudeness in those 3 words, next time I'll try to be more considerate.

Good, but...
It's work fine in my E5606, but i try to change kingroot with SuperSU, and not work, try differents ways, but its impossible, any idea?

Can someone check if you still have your DRM keys intact?
It's easy. Type *#*#7378423#*#* on your phone and go to Service Test > Security.
Thx in advance

I did some bad stuff trying to remove Kingroot and have to do a system repair. Lost everything.
I try Supersu-Me and didn't work, I suggest don't do it.
This what I did to get things right:
1. Download mediafire .com /? mxzbt42xypvn2ts
2. Unzip to the internal sdcard (it's a folder named mrw containing 4 files)
3. Install terminal emulators
4. Open terminal and type: su (case sensitive) click enter
5. Now write: sh /sdcard/mrw/root. sh and click enter
6. Let it finish, there be some errors but that's ok.
7. You get a message to uninstall kingroot, do so
8. If should open Supersu if not open it and update binaries.
9. Reboot and done
I recommend install supersu to /system

Next step: custom recovery.

I turned off the lock screen and and device managers. Turn off any other security features you can find. And turn on USB debugging in developers options.
If that doesn't help then I don't know either.

how can i unroot the device?
the root was excellent whit the kingroot, but now i want to unroot de device, how can i unroot the sony xperia m5 dual for the updates store?

can we just root it using superSU & CWM?? i'm kinda familiar with these rather than kingroot

successfully rooted with Kingroot 4.8 and running well for 1 week.

n910vvru2cpj2 root?

Is n910vvru2cpj2 rootable, can the bootloader be unlocked?

Just bought a note 4 on ebay and found out about the latest update when I looked at the "about phone" info. Read it was a security update....ruined my new purchase buz. So I was wondering the same thing can't find any info reguarding it, hopefully someone more experienced with the phone can chime in.

you might still be able to downgrade to N910VVRU2BPA1, and if you are able to, then yes it can be rooted.

how do you perform the downgrade?

I drank a beer and prayed lol seriously I downloaded kingo root for android. I installed the app on the phone. Then I installed root checker. Next I did adb devices. Next I did adb push Samsun unlock file like the guide. Then I ran kingo root to get temp root. In the command line I did adb shell,then typed su. You should then see # (which means you have root. At this point I typed in the code lines described in the guide. I typed the lines and when prompted yes/no,I typed yes and waited 5-10 minutes. Was prompted on screen that it was successful.

First, download, install and run the eMMC brick check from the Play Store, first before proceeding. The CID has to start with 15 or you're screwed.
There are like a billion threads in the general section that explain how to use KingRoot to root your phone, then push an unlock file. I believe I used this one.

YES I KNOW THIS IS THE SAME POST I POSTED ELSE WHERE >>>

How do I unlock the bootloader on a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 (SM-T310)?

Alright, semi-noob question here. I'm not a developer or a hacker or anything, just a tech-savvy end user. I have a Tab 3 8.0 running Android 4.4.2 and I want to install a custom ROM. I'm familiar with Samsung devices on which you go into the developer options and select OEM unlock. I see no OEM unlock or anything of that sort in the developer options. Is the bootloader unlocked by default or am I missing something?

What I tried to say is that Samsung devices don’t have a bootloader. Meaning you can easily install a TWRP recovery without having to deal with unlocking the bootloader. I tell you this because I have a Samsung Tab 3 sm t310. Motorola for example does have a bootloader wich you will have to unlock in order to install a custom rom for example
