Motorola "Luge"

Specter597 · Aug 28, 2014

As seen on Droid-Life

Verizon is re-branding the Motorola RAZR M as the Motorola Luge and marketing it for Pre-paid service.
From all early reports it is ... the exact same phone. (XT907)

If anyone can confirm this, perhaps the forum name needs to be modified to include the new device.
(Just in case any prepaid customers buying a brand new 2012 mid range device for more than you can buy an M on Amazon or Ebay want help rooting and pwning their device.)

I wonder if it says that we'll get the next major android updates officially

I hope too, official Android L (KLP?) would be great. And also that somebody will find a way to unlock and root it (and RAZR M on 183.46.13 too)

With boot loader unlocked you can flash root. The important part is for you to unlock your boot loader under kitkat.

You can unlock and root the M on that version.[emoji6]

Further to that point, note that Verizon is still selling the actual RAZR M (branded as such) on its website in August 2014 -- $0.49 on a two-year contract or $14.99/month on the "edge" program!

I would personally watch for that 4.4.4 update first.

I was invited to the 4.4.2 Motorola soak test and the soak moderator indicated that 4.4.2 was going to likely be the final update (security patches not with standing) that the M will see. Sorry.

Its all custom ROMs from here on out.
Flash 'em if ya got 'em

"Out of Stock", so good luck with that.

And I didn't want no stinkin' contract anyway.

My problem is, I ordered a RAZR M but got a Luge. Send it back? ... I've got 2-4 weeks to decide...
It's only a question because the Luge ships with KitKat 4.4.2 (minimum probably because it's a Q3-2014 phone) with later system and kernel, and I wanted (the possibility of) a JB 4.3-based phone with APP OPPS and minus all the new clutter of KitKat(+). But the Luge is not, or rather was not easily rooted, until a couple of geniuses came up with a root method for 18x.46.15 ... and 18x.46.10 with post-May Kernels? ... here:

ROOT for DROID RAZR M - XT907 183.46.15

Still no solution for unlocking (just root), but that exploit also apparently works with the Luge, system 185.46.10.XT907, system/kernel date 25 August 2014.

Just in case any Luge owner is looking.

EDIT: I returned the Luge, so NVM most of this.

It's the same phone as the RAZR M, just rebranded... and with newer firmware, i.e., the Kernel version date defeats the exploit that exists on older (RAZR M) phones.

But read this new thread, because it also applies to the Luge and your newer 185.46.10 firmware (at least 1 or 2 users have successfully rooted their Luge phones):

ROOT for Droid Razr M XT907- 183.46.15

EDIT: The method in that thread ^ is only for rooting, NOT unlocking the bootloader.

Refer to the post I quoted up there. It references firmware downloads.

Motorola Luge On GSM

I have a Motorola Luge that I would like to use on AT&T or T-Mobile. I have read through some of the posts, but I am a bit confused. Is there just one program that will open the Luge up or is there more than one? I would prefer to not root it, if I don't have to.

T_ADD · Sep 21, 2015

Just use kingroot for rooting the luge 185.46.10.Xt907.Verizon.US and either leave it or replace with superuser. It easy and can be done. Problem for me is unlocking the bootloader to change ROM.
