Ok I have a Droid RAZR xt 912 running 6.16.211 stock ROM was rooted but unrooted now. But when I boot into recovery still ha the q0/1. Is there anyway to remove this I need to return for a warranty issue.
Thanks for any help
 
I believe that is Moto/Verizon's way of keeping tabs on you. You could try using RSD to flash back to stock "out if the box" but I don't think there is anything you can do.

Sorry, but don't think there is anything you can do to erase/reset the, far a lack of a better word, "mechanism", that keeps track of the phone ever being rooted or is currently rooted. Let me elaborate...your phone has a unique identifier. Verizon has the capability to query your phone to determine its "state". One aspect of that is whether the phone is rooted, has been rooted but not rooted now or has never been rooted. That information is stored in Verizon's system, not necessarily on your phone. So trying to reset that or change that information is like trying to "un-ring a bell".

Let me see if I got this right, are you saying that if I bought a phone today then rooted it, vzw would already know that it has been rooted even if I took the root off? I sent many phones in (took the root off before I sent it) and never had a problem.

All 4.0.4+ now has the root checker built in. There is a setting on the phone that once rooted will "trip" and can not be reset, so they will know.

Interesting, I guess I won't root anymore.
