Root Access for the Retail Razr M

[mdsco]

Have not got my M,s yet just ordered. So do I want to take the JB update then root or root first then update would hate to get something like the dreaded sbf.621 in the update. Also I read somewhere about using voodoo root keeper before you update.

@Albinodroid: I downloaded the SU .apk using ROM Manager. The updated .apk on Android Market works also.

@Expo: the reason you have the message is your sdk is not located on the root of your C:\ drive. The tool you are using is looking for adb.exe and not finding it in the expected path.

mdsco,
M I received in the mail last week ( still sitting in the box) came pre-installed w/ JB. I would guess any fresh M's would too ship with JB pre-installed.

^ Right. You all have a way if going back to ICS though if you want to root it.

Thanks to a user by the name of hillmom over at http://www.razrforums.com/ for a great post with EVERYTHING you need for rooting your M.

When I first rooted, with the link from xda above, turns out it really didn't root due to the outdated su superuser.apk that rooted_default mentioned, even after updating them. Note: in the link I provided, under rooting tips, number four takes care of this issue. From there, you need to install Safestrap by hashcode0f to do any "roming"; which is where I'm off to next.

Make Sure to Grab All the Stuff for Flashing or FastBoot in case of unforeseen issues!!!!!!!!!!!
