Hi. I have looked all over the forums and cannot find a way to root my Verizon Droid RAZR Maxx HD. It is:
*Android version 4.4.2
*System version 182.46.15.XT926.Verizon.en.US
*Kernel Version 3.4.42-gbd361ac
I have searched for a way to root my phone, but everything I have read says that since the update to 182.46.15 it is not possible. I do not want to unlock the bootloader, I just want to root it so I can remove some bloatware. I have tried Srsroot, and it did not work. Is there a workaround or a utility that I can use to root my phone but leave the bootloader alone? I have always rooted every phone I have ever had, with the last being my G2, but for some reason this Maxx HD is giving me issues. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi All,
I tried using the 2.37 downgrade guides, including the Indian version , and of course no luck. Just wondering if anyone is working on the build 2.43.661.1 version.
My Phone: Telus DHD
Android version 2.3.3
Build/Software Number 2.43.661.1
Thank you all very much for your amazing work.
I rooted DHD any shiprom. No need to downgrade...

So thanks for that nt1303. However, I don't understand what you mean when you say "No need to downgrade" because your guide looks like you're downgrading to a lower version of the stock ROM. Anyway I haven't tried it yet. I also have a Telus DHD with build 2.43. I might give this a try tonight.

Won't work,
look at the last comments in the thread
Well then... that sucks. I guess we'll just have to wait until someone cracks 2.43 Ugh I don't even know why I upgraded to Gingerbread... got overly excited :\
Has anyone ever thought of downgrading to 1.84.661.1 (Telus stock Froyo)? It's an idea that's been floating around my head, but I haven't wanted to try in case i somehow screwed it up and broke my phone...

My wife did the 2.43 upgrade to her phone before I got a chance to root it so she is also stuck at the moment.

Just out of curiosity,
Does the gold-card flash a non-branded PD***.img not work with this latest update?
My understanding is you could use the goldcard method to force your phone to downgrade to a stock, v1.32 ROM, then use the rooting software to s-off, then you can flash any custom rom.
Hi
I was trying to downgrade my DHD but I could not.cause my bootloader does not work.I mean when going to bootloader the phone completely gets frozen and no key works.
help me please.
If you haven't flashed anything yet, just pull out the battery and stick it back in to restart it. It probably just means you don't have root access to your phone.
I have tried it several times,unfortunately there is no use. I have even tried factory reset!

Kingroot 4.1 failed for me on D85120g with the message, "Root Failed no strategy now". It looked promising at first as it had a root now buttom but root checker says no root access.
Same issue
I have the same set-up on my g3 device and have tried both one-click root methods and get no where.. I've also tried stump, kingo root, and towelroot with no results either... Any ideas??? I have all adb and android sdk setup on pc(win10) with all versions of consumer and dev drivers..

This method worked... As i notice some of the files have been updated and auto-script worked flawless.. Thanks tons:good:
So Friday i went to verizon and bought me a new LG G3 phone, 32G memory 3G RAM, you know the good **** LOL. Well when i got home i wanted to root the phone but when i looked it up there was many options, IOROOT, TowelRoot, and Stump Root. So i tried towel root on the phone but when i clicked the button towel root said my device isnt compatible and my phones build is the VS98510B. So at that point i decided to try IOROOT. When i launched the batch file i made sure i made myself a developer, got the proper drivers, made it connect via usb and set the phone connection to Ethernet. Well in the batch file it said everything was good and that i just needed to click any button to continue well i did that but when i clicked a button it simply closed the batch file. All i clicked was the space bar and it closed. Stump root isnt compatible and im afraid to use bruteforce mode. Any one got any help with this? Andriod Kitkat 4.4.2
Use the brut force method in stump. Takes about 5 minutes.

So when i root it do i need to back up anything? Ive heard of whats called TWRP but idk what that is
I used stump root. My phones still works. You can't install twrp because bootloader is still locked, have to wait for a way to unlock it.

Read a bit here TWRP is a recovery and backup software for when you flash a custom ROM.. You're not flashing any custom ROMs just yet.. So... I don't think you need to backup anything just yet. After you root the phone you can use TWRP to backup your current stock ROM .. Good luck ..
:good:
I used ioroot with no problems. Check out this vid, pretty straight fwd on what you need to do.

My pleasure Hope you can find root using the desired software.. I'm in Korea..using the F400k but the latest update (v10l) couldn't find root using any of the available tools.. so.. I had to downgrade to the previous (v10g) and got root again. :victory:

Does NOT work. Also caught a security threat in VZ Protect, Wants too many permissions to the phone as well. Would prefer a XDA-Dev trusted method.

I have the Verizon HTC Desire 526. This method does not work on it. Are you it's the same model of this phone that you rooted?
I have european version with only 1 gb ram and 4.4 android.
I didnt think of it earlier, sorry bro.
HTC desire 526 has no root as of now. if your on version 5.1 there are other threads about it. as alot dont work. verizon specifically locks these phones to for 6-12months. how to unlock them after. no clue. but im also still waiting on root access for these phones
Rooted within 3 mins
Guys I'm from India.. and I hav HTC desire 526 with octa core.. I have rooted mine with Kingroot.apk. it requires net connection to download exploits for ur mobile.. I just rooted within 3 mins..
I recently bought an unlocked g3 off ebay with the latest update. Kingroot doens't work and so far i guess the only way to root it would be to downgrade first but i'm a total noob to rooting and the only threads i've found on that have invalid links to the tools i'd need. Was wondering if somebody could help me out with a crystal clear eli5 guide to rooting or w/e i need to do to downgrade then root. Thanks.
