My First Droid Razr M Experience

I got a Droid Razr M for an upgrade, Worked great so i rooted it, Still worked great all that day, then i went to sleep and when i woke and the WiFi would not work!
The toggle switch turned a darker gray, When i tap it it turns on then in a split second turns back off.
I have done a Factory Data Reset and then i did a hard reset and then i wiped the hole thing out and re flashed it to its original state. Still would not work!
So as a last resort contact Motorola for support and they tell me that i had rooted my device and there is nothing they can do. I didn't say anything about rooting it so they must be logging all users data. (Invasion of Privacy?)
So i am back here again, Not being able to use WiFi, On a 2GB/M plan. f%$king peace of $#!+.
Nothing else is bad! Its just the wifi!?

It is probably your fault. A broken radio is your burden why do you think they do not want you rooting? The radio partition can get borked very easily. You need to renew it.
Do my restore. See my signature

There is a lot of verbal running on there but few steps. Read the rsd tutorial & get rsd to see the phone while you have the phone in bootloader - fastboot. Then stop & check in here again....

Ok, SaturnsVoid... so, first, sorry to hear about the problem. Motorola/VZ is giving you BS... rooting won't break your WiFi unless you did something or installed something that would...
What's your current system version?
Have you taken any OTAs since you had it? If not, you may still be able to unlock.
Also, may want to try using WiFi Connection Fixer on the Play Store (requires root...)
If those don't work, try PMing me... I can help you work it out...

[Q] Hard Bricked... HELP!

Okay... so this is over my friend's vzw note 3.
He is the defintion of a noob, and now i feel like one trying to fix this. after me telling him not to, he decided to try the app "swapper 2" and hard bricked the device after partitioning. the phone wont turn on at all, no responce on power button, no charge, nothing.
So i searched around and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476353 but it applys to the att version. is there any way this would still work? or possibly modify the unbrick image so it could? any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

That sucks to hear. Might need to send it to get JTAGged

Pull out battery, connect to USB on computer and trying to boot to Odin doesn't work?

Well, it looks like Android is pawning you.
Motofail was the root exploit for the 4.1.1 version and it didn't unlock the bootloader. Motopocalypse was the only method to unlock the BL and, according the date you posted from your fastboot screen, you're on the May OTA that blocks the BL unlock. You really need to stop using random tools and start reading before you do something. Also, you can't flash CM11 with SS. Utility 1.20 is the correct utility to use for your system version. Are you sure you're using the 1.20 Utility? That's the only reason I can see that you're getting the fail. Did you try to flash the newer OTA at any point?

Don't take it personally, it's just a little bit of sarcasm. I know it can get lost through the internet.
With that being said. I reread thread and saw that date again. Utility 1.20 was for the OTA prior to that, so that's why you're probably running into issues. Sorry, you can slap me because I told you wrong in the post after yours where you talked about using 1.20. Matt never updated a utility to reflect the newest OTA. As for CM11, it specifically states on the CM website that you need an unlocked bootloader:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Xt907_Info
CM was designed for SS on the Razr because the Razr never had an unlockable BL:

Problem was using utility 1.20. It was designed for the OTA in April. His FB screen says he took the OTA in May. Do you have the FXZ for .78 or .1 somewhere? I'm not on my home computer, otherwise I would look. I think he needs to RSD to save this.

Hey man i see you bricked your phone no worries i'll help you out i've done it myself.
so you're going to need
motorola drivers
RSD lite lastest version
4.1.2 xml file for razr m ( just google search it)
and patience
ok so
I guess you know how to put your razr m in fastboot mood if not you power your device off and hold the power , vol - and sorta click it multple times. until it brings you to the screen. then you should be able to run rsd lite and flash the 4.1.2 xml file would could be found with a single google search. so flashing firmware is pretty easy.. it should be a breeze. after that just leave your phone as it is. motorola will be releasing the 4.4 update swoon hopefully so i would just wait.
hope this was semi helpful

Someone quoted me but for you.

New root method... Supposedly

So I just came across this tweet from droidx - https://youtu.be/QicDqTKb_sU supposedly this root method will work with any android phone 5.1.1 or lower. Lots of caution needed here due to the origin and amount of permissions needed, but he did show it rooting a Verizon note 4. I have the apk but haven't tried it as I'm using a prerooted image and haven't flashed back to stock.
http://www.kingroot.net
UPDATED INFO (5/13/15)
1) English version is available here through XDA (LINK);
2) This is a temporary root that doesn't survive a reboot (this is due to write protection); and
3) A permanent root solution (for the Note 4) is being worked on off of XDA (due to some thread circumstances) (reference is here).
Right now there is no word of anyone working on a Droid Turbo permanent root solution.
New perma-root discussion for the Note 4 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60713495
Update (5/18/15)
1) There is a new script out that will delete kinguser and install supersu instead! The link is here. Keep in mind that this script will need to be modified for our device, but according to the script authors it should be applicable.
2) It has been recommended to soft reboot the device using this app from the play store. There are a million of these type of apps available, but this one is being used on the Note 4 side.

Download the version directly from their website. I'm going to remove the English site link.
The official version doesn't have that issue.

I just read a ton of the note 4 thread, and many people had to try a few times to get it to work. Supposedly this is just a temp root method on devices with write protection. If you do get root, try a reboot and see if it sticks.

I'm not sure if this method in it's current form gets us anything over what we have now but it could lead to more.

Mine failed too

Root for the ZTE Maven 3.

For a long time I've been subscribed to a thread regarding the matter but recently it has become very inactive. Anyways, does anyone have a root method for it? If you don't at the moment could you help a lot of people out and try to figure out a method to root it? (There are a lot of people looking for a root method for this device)

I agree. This phone is by no means perfect, but root and all things that follow would improve it greatly.

I second your request. Help. Please. Anyone?

Sorry for not replying I have recently figured out how to access the recovery mode so here is what you do...
First you Power Off your device
Second you boot up your device but instead of just pressing power you need to press and hold the volume up button and keep holding it until your screen goes black then you should be in recovery mode
P.S. if you want to get it with adb commands just do adb reboot recovery
All we need to do now is figure out how to unlock the bootloader. With adb commands you need to eaither download Android SDK or go to the XDA thread with a quick installer of the drivers. Link to thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Another thing if you want to get into Factory Test Mode(FTM Mode) instead of holding volume up hold volume down.

Hope this helps towards rooting the device!
