I soft bricked my first one within a few days of buying it. I bought my D4 7 days after the release date but didnt know that at the time. As long as you just root and not flash a ROM you'll be safe from turning your D4 into a paperweight. Im just rooted cause i couldnt handle all the bloatware and wanted to get rid of things and you have to be rooted to have TB.
They could also use the utility which has the same exploit by Dan Rosenberg
Without fastboot files, no, this will not unbrick you. They still haven't been released for the D4.

Here is the utility you will need to root your D4. GL

I am not new to rooting, but I don't understand how to use this utility. I have a Droid4 that needs to become "unrooted" and restored to factory so I can send it back to Verizon.
Just want to ask how this utility works. Do I download it to PC and then flash the zip file using my Clockwork Recovery? Or is this a totally different system.
Thanks for any help.

Does anyone have a working link for the Droid Utility tool? Can't seem to find one anywhere.
I have ADB 1.0.26 (at least that is what it says when I go to Start>Run>CMD>and type in adb.
Is there anything else I need to get the phone rooted? Any other drivers or anything along those lines. I know the phone needs to be in development mode, but I want to make sure all of the other software on the computer end is up-to-date since I've had a G1, Mytouch Slide 3G, G2, and Droid 3 before picking up this Droid 4.
hey so Im a ****ing idiot, I didn't try calling anyone from my contacts on my phone when I got it, was just busy rooting and syncing . basicly I have this really random contact error where I can dial a number no problem..but if I go into contacts and click a name my contacts FC. I didn't root with this but Verizon tech said they would give me a new phone....so if I unroot..vzw will still take it back?
