I've been trying it out today...It came with 4.1.2 installed. So far I like it. Do u know if I can use Dan Rosenberg's methods like the motochopper and as u suggested motopocalypse. What I understand I can unlock the boot loader with Motorola but is this less advantageous than with motopoc....all this bugs me about the phone seems very difficult to gain root
What is your sytem version? I know Motopocalypse and Motochopper worked on the HD prior to May. I'm not sure if it will work on your phone. You can try it. I'm not 100% positive how other 925 users went through rooting and unlocking.

I have a non unlocked bootloader and non rooted motorolla razr maxx hd (xt926) on the latest OTA (9.20) and currently there is no exploit working for this version.

I'm really excited about getting kitkat but like many others i'm hoping to one day have an unlocked bootloader and root.

Now i'm all for updating to kitkat as its going to make our devices much better but on the slight off chance that someone finds a working exploit for android 4.2 is it worth sticking it out on 4.2 ?

I would hate to update to kitkat only to find later that someone found an exploit and i'm once again stuck without root but on the other hand i'm tired of waiting for something to happen with this device.

If you're on 9.20.1 you can still root. The latest 9.30.1 is not rootable.
