47Root is already available for the Motorola Razr HD & Maxx!
I grabbed this from the Razr M forums, it will work for a variety of new Motorola Devices.
Instructions:- Download
- Unzip
- Install Motorola Drivers
- Enable USB Debugging on Phone
- Plug Into PC
- Run The Batch File "Run"
- Follow Along the CMD Prompt for Progress & Let it Finish
- Enjoy and Hope for some Developers to Pick Up This Phone to Rom
**UPDATE**JellyBean OTA In order to update to the latest OTA without losing root you need to:
- Be Rooted on ICS
- Use VooDoo Rootkeeper to do the following
- Protect Root
- Temp Unroot
- Take the JB OTA
- Restore Root
Enjoy being both on the latest and rooted. Remember, do not just take the update without doing both those two things as there is no root exploit currently available for JB.
This is a one-click-method so all you have to do is the prerequisites and it will do the rest for you.

How to Unroot:
Thanks shabbypenguin for posting this.
You can manually unroot your Droid by using a root file manager program (such as root explorer) and mountsystem as R/W. Then delete the following:
/system/app/Superuser.apk
/system/bin/su
and if it has it
/system/xbin/su

Here's the link to the drivers: Motorola Drivers
Root File is attached to the Post, but here are some Mirrors:

Mirror 2
Rooting your phone works whether you have the Developer version or not.
Hit thanks if this made you happy!

.6OK - found it already. Now one can get current jellybean with SuperSU/Busybox by chainfire. Thanks to Orphee for pointing the directions here in this thread. This is how I went ahead after flashing Moto's Jellybean on top of unrooted Stock ICS.
- Assuming unlocked bootloader
- Get epinters CWM-Recovery from here.
- Get SuperSU+Busybox from here and put it on your SDCard.
- Enter fastboot mode by POWERON+VOLDOWN
- Flash epinters CWM using following command:- PRESS VOLUP on the device and reboot Phone viaCode:fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery6015-xt925_20121104-epinter.img- When the green droid is being shown press VOLUP+VOLDOWN -> this enters CWM RecoveryCode:fastboot reboot
- In CWM I had chosen Wipe/DataFactory and Wipe Dalvik <--- dunno if that is really needed, but since my RazrHD was vanilla-stock it couldn't do any harm.
- In CWM I had chosen "Flash Zip from External SD" and selected that "Root_SuperSU.0.98-Busybox.1.20.2-signed.zip"
- (optional) in CWM chose "disable stock recovery flash" when exiting CWM - this will disable recovery from reverting to stock-recovery.
- Reboot... Enjoy... **
** Disclaimer This is how it worked for ME - if it bricks your phone, something explodes or even your phone gets sucked up in a blackhole I cannot be held responsible
** CWM is by epinter and SuperSU/Zip is by chainfire!
3Word of advice to all is that you need to follow the instructions closely and run the batch file AFTER you plug in your phone and switch it charge mode and verify that the USB Debugging icon shows up. This way the program does not start running if your phone automatically goes to Mass Storage mode.2
ah okay haha i'll just shut up. I did include your instructions and credited in the OP!

Yes you can! Factory restoring will unroot the phone as it deletes Superuser and busybox. You're good to go.
