4.4 kitkat - Rooting A Motorola Droid Razr M Phone on Verizon Network


I have a Droid Razr M, running on the verizon network. I would like to root this phone so I can use some of the more advanced features of Tasker; however, I am very fearful of "bricking" my phone. I see many approaches, which concerns me, because I would feel more comfortable if I could be sure process X is the one to use and works. Here are the particulars of my phone:



  1. Model #: Droid Razr M

  2. Android Version: 4.4.2

  3. System Version: 183.46.10.XT907.Verizon.en.us


  4. Baseband Version: SM_BP_101031.042.32.86P


Can anyone advise me as to the best approach to take, even if it means there is no current software to root my phone with the version it has?


Thanks, FDijohn

If I could comment, I would, but yes, TowelRoot is a safe download. It is one of the most commonly used root methods for newer devices. Neither of the antivirus programs that I use have had any problem with it.

EDIT: Several sites and forums state that it will work on the RAZR M and HD if your build number is .182 or .183. If you already updated to whatever came next, then it is too late and you might not get the chance to root again. Not to be rude, but that's what you get for having a Motorola and/or Verizon phone. They both (along with Samsung) try their hardest to make sure that you cannot root or unlock your phone.
