Thanks for posting the updated utility. 
Number 4 explained mentions TWRP again instead of CWM though.

That's what I get for copy pasting it
Fixed
Will this work on the latest OTA 9.16.6? I know the previous version did not and I have been waiting to root my phone. If yes, do I simply do options 6, then 5, and my choice of either 3/4?
Yes it will work. The unlock requires root so use Motochopper first to root

I'm so glad I found the original Droid Razr HD Utility. I almost downloaded a rip off utility copied from you by a guy named after an illness that people "shake" from. Begins with a P if you know who I mean.
I love my Razr HD. iPhone 5 and S3 didn't work out for me. Poor WiFi performance. I like the idea of a TWRP so I can make a full backup to my SD card.

Matt,
First, let me say thanks for all your amazing work developing this phone and for the two utilites (I am very grateful for 1.10 and looking forward to using 1.20).
Before I jump into the utility, I want to (as briefly as possible) explain my situation (and now looking back, ask a ton of questions): I have 4.1.1, rooted, and have performed the Wireless Hotspot hack procedure. I am unable to take the 4.1.2 update (most likely due to my hacking of the hotspot app, though I may have done something else that I don't remember). Will I be able to use this utility to upgrade to 4.1.2? And unlock my bootloader? And keep (or re-do) my hotspot hack? What is the correct order for me? I'm thinking since I am rooted, I unlock the bootloader, then install 4.1.2, correct? Does this keep my root intact, or do I need to use VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper to unroot prior to performing the 4.1.2 update in the utility, then re-root?
Finally, is there a way to copy and save my currently installed apps (and pics, etc) so I don't have to re-install them all? Is this the function of Titanium Backup, or is there a different/easier way to do it?
Thanks again!

Unlock your bootloader before you try to do anything, it's the best safeguard to have.
You can go to 4.1.2 with it from 4.1.1 yes.
This is not a rootkeeping utility. If you unlock you can always flash a root.zip like Superuser.zip, SuperSu.zip, etc. in CWM or TWRP to root. You don't need Voodoo anymore.
Backups is up to you. Titanium Works AFAIK.
I think I got all the questions hidden in that blob of text, hopefully
Thanks Matt!
- I've unlocked the bootloader this morning and it worked perfectly (have to find the program in the forum to change the "bootloader unlocked" startup screen now, but I digress).
- After installing 4.1.2 I can always re-root using the utility I'm guessing, yes?
- Will the utility install 4.1.2 and replace a "modified" 4.1.1, or do I have to have a "stock" 4.1.1 ROM for the 4.1.2 to work? By "modified" I mean deleted apps, reconfigured SQLite Edited hotspot app, etc... I only ask since I cannot get the 4.1.2 OTA to install as my phone is currently, and was wondering if it was known if I would run into the same problem using the Utility 1.20. Or if this is the reason for the creation of the Utility 1.20...
- If I have to be stock and the 4.1.2 won't work as my phone is currently, I am thinking I could use the Utility 1.10 to go back to 4.0.4, then up to stock 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 from there (or straight to 4.1.2 from 4.0.4 if possible), then re-delete and re-hack the apps I want to delete and hack (if that all makes sense).
Another blob of text, hopefully broken down a little bit better for you

I don't understand why you don't just go directly to 4.1.2 using this

Hope I helped...
Tried a few different cables, few different ports on the computer, still no dice. I guess I am destined to have 4.1.1 forever
Im on 4.1.1 everything working fine I just want to get to 4.1.2 is this the best way to do it or is there an easier way? I am unlocked and rooted if I use the utility it will put me on 4.1.2 still unlocked I will have to get a recovery and root correct? It wont unlock me?
I selected option 5 and tried to do the Motochopper root exploit. Though the exploit in the console showed as successful, when I rebooted and run Root Checker Pro, I see the issues below.
I was on 4.1.1 w/ root, got 4.1.2, which broke root. Per the above, Motochopper showed as working, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any suggestions?

Assuming I am BL unlocked, rooted and on 4.1.2 with CWM installed after using the utility, can I then just flash the latest CM 10.1 nightly?
Can I safely remove Safestrap now and just use CWM instead? Thanks.
