This won't work for GSM Razr right?

Hi...sorry for the noob-ish question, but when I type this command into my Mac terminal, I get the following error message:

-bash: cd: Downloads/DroidRazrRootMacLinux: No such file or directory

Now, the downloaded file is DEFINITELY in my Downloads folder, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I was able to follow directions pretty well when I rooted my Thunderbolt using the terminal and some adb commands. Do you have any thoughts you might want to share? I appreciate your help.

Never mind. I don't mind admitting I'm an idiot. I went ahead and unzipped the downloaded file and all is right with the world. I'm the proud owner of a rooted Razr. Thanks for your work on this, and thanks for sharing.

Hi Doctocete, I have removed the recovery portion from my thread now as nitro has a working package, he wants to create his own thread for it and have it stickied.

I can't get the method to work on my new Droid Razr from my Mac. All I get is a message on the bash screen - "daemon started successfully" - Then nothing. I opened the file, checked all the comments - unplugged and re-started my USB cable (charge only) - no activity. Thoughts?

When I run the rootkit from my Downloads directory, the message says "--- WAITING FOR DEVICE" but, no other action. Thoughts?

BigMac696: Sure wish I could get Arabic on my Razr here in the US. That's the one thing I miss coming from my rooted HTC Thunderbolt.
أنا مش عارف ليش ما حطوا لنا العربية بس أنا أفتقدها مرة
إن شاء الله تيجينا العربية هنا مع التحديث الجاي

This method is not compatible with 651.150.1.xt910.retail.en.eu yet

Correct?

EDIT: Answer is no

 

[BigBlue007]

Well, if the question is whether this method is NOT compatible with this version, the correct answer would be "yes", because it's indeed not compatible.

Ah the joys of double negatives..
