- 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.

GSM XT910 has more than 2 dozen different retail/carriers softwares and each software version has a different secure version. So that's not going to happen as it would be way too time consuming to make and update for that many different phones. In the Verizon XT912 there is only one carrier version to worry about thankfully.

ok... need some help.. I was on ICS, downloaded the OTA update to JB, and installed. Did the whole voodoo root keeper had the root etc. Well, that was about a week ago, and now the last 2 days, I lost my root. I found this tool, downloaded it, an ran it.. didn't have root, so i used the tool to redo my phone... but i'm still having issues.. still no root access.. tried it again.. i did the whole "smart action" things, but i still have no root.. what am i doing wrong?!

thanks in advance..!!

Edit: never mind, i figured it out myself.. did some more research online.. when you do the root, the phone needs to be connected to usb (obviously), and it has to have usb debugging enabled (again, obviously..) BUT, what i didn't see posted, nor in dan's tool, is it needs to be TAKE OUT of mass storage..i put mine as media device, and it worked just fine... thanks tho!!!!

mattlgroff, you are one of the best developer for our RAZR.

Unfortunately many User in Germany lost their Root by flashing Jelly Bean OTA 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.EU. Same for Carrier Updates by O2 or Vodafone.

Also two really good developers and really active User here in this forum. They had done a lot of great work here in Germany and other European Forum. Please help and give us some Ideas to get back Root again and let our good People not go to other new Fon Modells and Forums.

Sorry for my bad english.

You unzipped (extracted) files to your desktop, and made sure you have your drivers installed? Because I had the same issue and I needed to unzip (extract) files then it worked. It will pop up without extracting, but it won't communicate with phone:)

Matt, Thanks a lot for the utility. It works for me.

There is a small issue I've experienced during rooting (option #3)
I've chosen #2 for upgrade and then #3 for root.
Since I had some smart action saved before the upgrade the script failed to access some file due to permission. I've deleted all previously smart action scenarios and run $3 again. The script has finished successfully.

Again thanks for this utility

    Ok been a while since I played on the site after dumping my G-tablet, but decided to take the plunge and root my razr. It has been rooted since the early x-mas release but for some reason root checker says I'm not rooted, as well as SU won't update and super Su says I don't have root access. BUT TB says I do. SO I grabbed the utility and ran step 3 and it failed. Tried it again and failed again. keep getting access denied on the pushed files. Now...my battery was 80%. DOES it have to be at 100% even though it's plugged in and charging. Would really like to get my root back without wiping my data, but if I have to....i have to.

    For those already on the OTA. the OP instructions are a liitle off. Found this in another thread.


    Ok... here is what I have...

    Because the Razor_Blade uses the Smart Actions exploit you must follow the directions with a few adjustments.

    1. Enable Smart Actions on your phone from "Manage Applications" from the home screen.
    2. Uninstall ANY updates and clear ALL data and cache from Smart Actions.
    3. Enter Smart Actions, Get Started>Next
    4. Select Battery Saver Mode and Enable
    5. Save and exit to your homescreen
    NOTE: This step is part of the root process but do this BEFORE connecting your phone to the USB.

    6. Connect your phone to USB and enable Debugging Mode
    7. DO NOT USE MASS STORAGE MODE, Select Camera Mode instead from USB Connections
    8. Click run.bat and begin.
    9. When you get to the point where you are instructed to go into Smart Actions (I think Phase 3) and do the steps above (steps 1 - 5) and afterwards enter any key to continue.... GO AHEAD AND JUST HIT ANY KEY.... DO NOT GO BACK INTO SMART ACTIONS.
    10. Root should continue process of rooting and rebooting without issue.

    I think its amazing that the support for this phone is still available. I have been an exclusive MOTO Android user since the first Droid XT855 came out. I quickly learned how to root and test the new roms , Ireally enjoyed the tweaks, and little improvements that the people of higher intellect figured out for the rest of us.
    I have been using a RAZR since it first came out I believe in 2011, and then later in 2012 picked up the RAZR MAXX because of the battery issues on the RAZR. I had no idea at the time that I would still be using these phones 4 years later.

    I had a lot of fun playing around and tweaking these things but with the advent of the locked bootloader I kind of got weary of the countless hours of study required to customize the phone without bricking it. Well I finally bricked my RAZR MAXX one night, and had to go through pure hell tyring to get setup to use RSD Lite and then to join two seperate downloads together with a file compiler. This required 13-15 hours of study for my limited intelect, but I finally got the phone back up and running.

    Well I bricked my RAZR MAXX again last night, and paid the price for doing so, because after being out of the tinker phase for a couple of years I had to study and search and study and search for a recovery. I found a newer copy of RSD Light, downloaded and even tried using and old original RAZR firmware file to no avail. I am a member at Android Forums and have been for a very long time, and what I discovered in the last 24 hours is that factory Software on this old phone is getting harder to find. Well I remembered that I had some success with finding and learning about reliable info from the members at XDA-Developers in the past. So here I am, and I am quite pleased that Matts, and Dans reflash tool has saved the day for me, I honestly thought that I had really bricked the crap out of my phone to the point of not being able to recover.

    So some of you are probably wondering, "how did I brick my phone"? Well I really wanted to try and upgrade to Loli Pop 4.4.4 or higher as my banking app no longer allows me to make OTA Deposits. The message I got said that the security was insufficient on Jelly Bean 4.2.1.

    Without going into all the lengthy details, I'll cut right to the chase and confess that I was to damn lazy to to do sufficient research to find one of the many available methods that are out there to achieve this task, and I regretfully had a determination not to do things over the computer. Which could have insured safety and allowed me to have good back ups.

    The main screw up on my end was that I had rooted OTA through an app at the market, and downloaded safe strap, and it wasn't working properly. For example when I would reboot the phone it didn't boot through safe strap as it should. So I tried to delete safe strap and some remnants of the old 3.11 version that was still showing up in some files, In the process of doing that I thought I was wiping the dalvik cache, and the ram cache. I actually totally wiped the system and data on my phone and like a dumb ass rebooted it, without booting into recovery. Then I found that the two back ups I had put on my EXT-SD card couldn't be used. I could see the file but when I went to select it the recovery would jump up a level each time. I think that I will put a couple of back ups in the internal SD card next time, as well as some working back ups on my computer. The bottom line on tinkering with these phones is you must do things exactly the way successful people have done their mods in order to expect the same results that they get.

    Well I'm sure that you guys are tired of hearing me jabber on. But I do want to give a big shout out to Matt,Dan, others who make the Android Community a great group of people. And to tell you that I'm really grateful that you still have the downloads for the older phones available. Matt I saw your website and that is my next stop. I'm out of work at the moment but have every intention of making a donation as soon as I can. Thank you very much for providing a reliable work around for re-flashing and modding bricked phones.
