xt912 4.0.4 rooting?

[rotordroid]

Ok, so i started rooting my RAZR. I had USB debugging mode on, i was in mtp mode, allowed non market apps to make changes, downloaded the latest drivers...everything i am supposed to. So i started the utility program and started the root, but the program stayed at "waiting for device". I read online that many others were having the same problem.

The Utility has a sub-folder labeled "Drivers". I loaded the drivers found there and that solved the "Waiting for device" problem.

See rotodroid's comments just above your last post about drivers. I don't know what drivers you downloaded, but he installed the drivers that came with the Utility and that worked for him. You might give that a try. I don't know of another method of rooting the Razr...that's not to say there isn't one.

When i plugged in my phone to my computer, it updated the drivers, and i also downloaded them from Motorola's website. Even the drivers with the utility pack don't work.

In the sticky above you will see a thread "RazrUtility" by Matt G, version 1.7. Download the .zip file and extract it to its own folder on our C:\\. Download and install the latest Motorola drivers (I think they are included in the Utility also). Connect your Razr to your computer using the USB/Charge cable that came with the phone. Once connected make sure you have selected USB debugging on your phone and selected a USB connection on your phone to anything other than Mass Storage. Once you've made these settings on your phone start the utility by double clicking the .bat file located in the folder you extracted the zip to. Select Option 3 in the utility and follow the on screen instructions and make sure you wait until the on screen instructions report successful. Unplug your phone and you are rooted.

I've been trying this method for the past couple days and following it to the letter for my ICS 4.0.4 version. I keep getting "The System Cannot Find The Path Specified."
Any clue how to address this? Would really love to get my root back. Thanks.

I'm on OTA 211 and not having any luck on getting this to work either.

The developer of the RazrUtility has reported that the Motorola drivers have been changed recently (changed after the 1.7 version was released) and that is what is causing the problem. I haven't seen a fix or different version of the utility as of yet. The developer is a very reliable guy, I'm sure he's working hard at developing a version of this utility that will work with the new Motorola drivers.
