Double click the ".bat" file. This will be called "WindowsUtility.bat" the image is just for reference.

- Mac & Linux Instructions
Extract the .zip to any folder you like, the /Downloads/ or /Desktop/ folder should work just fine.
Open a Terminal window. (On Mac: Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
Learn your 'sudo' password. This is almost always your Admin password on a Mac computer. On Linux you should already know what this is, its yours account password if your account is an admin as well.
Type the following code into the Terminal Windows, places where it says ***DRAG HERE*** are telling you to simply drag the folder there. For example: cd ***DRAG FOLDER HERE*** then press 'Enter' after each line.

Code:

cd ***DRAG UNZIPPED UTILITY FOLDER HERE***

chmod +x ./LinuxMacUtility.sh

bash ./LinuxMacUtility.sh

You will be asked for your sudo password at least once in the Utility process, so make sure you followed the instructions to learn it.

Number 3 Explained -- This is Dan Rosenberg's DROID RAZR 4.1 Jellybean exploit called 'RAZR Blade'. This option requires your phone to be booted normally, with USB Debugging enabled. (This is working on the DROID 4 as well.)

Thanks to Hashcode for Safestrap and Djrbliss for RAZR_Blade!

Root failing.

Hello,

First and foremost I'd like to thank you for this utility. 4.1 flashed without a hitch! Unfortunately, I am unable to get the root to work. I've attached the text from where it started to error.

The root is failing here, after phase 2. Any ideas?:

Try wiping and trying again. I was just told by a user on DroidRzr that it worked on the D4 OTA.

When I try this on my Droid 4 with the latest OTA JB update from Verizon, the terminal gets stuck at "waiting for device". This has happened previously when I tried to use the ICS Utility when my phone still had ICS. I've tried on several Windows PC's and none have seemed to recognized my device even with the latest Motorola drivers installed (when I went to install the drivers included in the JB Utility, I was alerted I already had newer versions). I have USB debugging enabled on my device. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Do you set your USB option from mass storage to MTP?

I'm getting findstr.exe is not a valid win32 application... Running windows XP

ovelayer · Mar 30, 2013

i noticed the root method used with this utility uses a different superuser
when i used this and tried to use either the verizon tether or wifi tether for root users it wouldn't work because of the su used. But when i downloaded and used a different razor root script that installed supersu everything works great
just a fyi

i used this for rooting

also using this there is no need to put your device in mtp mode

My USB connection is and has been set to MTP. Is that what it should be set as, or is it supposed to be set to one of the other two options?

ajsteadman · Mar 30, 2013

Does this work root on the verizon droid 4? tryin to help my friend get his tether back.

dbreezy187 · Mar 30, 2013

When I used it on ICS that was my issue.... as far as I know yes MTP... are you using the same USB cable each time... have you checked device manager to unsure your phone is connected properly... ... ... yes this will root...

How do I check "device manager"? I'm reading some stuff that leads me to believe Motorola is quite strict about the use of their cables. Some say you may need an actual Motorola branded cable to get the device to connect. Where can I get an official Motorola micro USB cord?

chewy74 · Mar 30, 2013

Thanks for the root suggestion. Worked great and Verizon tether started up with no problems.

sd_shadow · Apr 1, 2013

you reinstalled drivers, but did you check device manager to see the pc seeing phone correct (as a adb device)

lodxcol · Apr 1, 2013

sd_shadow · Apr 1, 2013
