How to Root DROID RAZE MAXX

[Guest dickflanagan]

Has anyone successfully rooted a Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX Android 2.3.6 using SuperOneClick v2.3.3.0? I am brand new to Android and I think(?) I am following the instructions correctly, but root continues to be off. No obvious error messages from S1C, but all applications requiring root (Titanium Backup, Superuser, etc.) continue to complain it is not rooted.

This is my first Android phone. Is there another rooting method I should be using?

Great to hear that I am not the only person with a Razr Maxx. :-)

Sadly however, I am not going to answer your question but ask you one in response. Why if you are new to Android are you so keen to root the phone, and before the ICS upgrade?

I rooted my first phone because there were specific things that I wanted/needed to do, that could not be done without rooting it. Now I have the Razr Maxx its far greater power and capability mean that I find I have no need to root. This leaves me with a bit less flexibility but almost certainly safer and more confident that upgrades etc. will work as intended.
