To get into fastboot, power off the phone, hold both volume buttons and power until the pre-boot menu comes up then release and choose 'fastboot'Īlternatively, you can use method if that strikes your fancy. If you are not, flash version 1.4 or 1.41 of this in fastboot. the script will flash from any version, to KK (data wipe option recommended)įirst, you need to be on KitKat to root and unlock the bootloader, ***the current condition of your phone is irrelevant (root etc). ***you should backup data before any flash or mod
So, you have a Droid Razr Maxx HD or HD, xt926, and want to root, unlock the bootloader, and go back to JB, possibly. If you are already unlocked, the relevant parts of this guide will still work as described. YOU HOSED YOURSELF BY NOT DOING THIS BEFORE UPDATING, THE TOOLS ARE NOT BROKEN.
LOOK AT YOUR SYSTEM VERSION AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT ON 183.46.14or15 BEFORE POSTING, if you are, THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCK AND ROOT WONT WORK, PERIOD, END OF DISCUSSION. This guide only works completely if you did NOT take the 183.46.15 update rolling out around 9/9/14
