Droid 4 Android 4.1.2. Root

Anyone know if it is possible to root a Motorola Droid 4 running Android 4.1.2? I have seen several videos and directions online for using razr_blade but they don't seem to work and I think its because my system version is XT894.
I downloaded the latest Motorola drivers and made sure USB debugging was set to on. Yet, when running the exploit, it doesn't seem to see the device. Any ideas?

All you need to do is make sure you are running the JB OTA update and have the latest motorola drivers. Install motocast, moto drivers from their website, whatever you can find. Assuming the drivers are okay after that, download Razr Blade, unzip the file, run the file called "run" and follow the onscreen instructions.

check your device manager, if there is yellow triangle in front of xt894
you need to update drivers

Try using Linux, the mod works better in Linux and use the Droid 4 JB utility,that you can find in the D4 Development forums and that should work great for you. It rooted my D4 just fine.

I GOT ROOT! I'm going to structure this post in such a way so that it will be easily searchable by those who are having the same problem.
The issue that I was having was that the RAZR Blade exploit was giving me the following errors when trying to root:
failed on '/data/logger' - Permission denied
mkdir failed for /data/logger, File Exists
Unable to chmod /data/logger: Operation not permitted
link failed File exisits
Device: Droid 4
Network: Verizon
System: XT894
Android version: 4.1.2
What I did to solve the problem:
-Settings > Apps > Smart Actions > Clear data
-Settings > Storage > ≡ Button > USB computer connection > Select "Media device (MTP)
-Ran the exploit again. Went through with no errors. Upon reboot I had root access.
After I had root access, I went back to the USB computer connection and changed back to Mass Storage mode.
Thanks for all of the help you guys gave me. I really appreciate it!

Tried, still a no go, still getting the same error msgs at phase 3, I just don't get what i'm doing wrong here...sigh

did you check windows device manager?
see Driver Errors

Yes, it seems that drivers are all there, it comes up as ADB Interface, MOT composite ADB Interface.

xp, win 7, 8?

Win 7 Pro 32 bit, yes, I am admin and only user.

try a different usb port, if desktop, use rear rather than front

Tried that as well.

I can't copy files to my phone???

I just bought Htc one ywsterday and i was unlocking the bootlaader today and root, and i'm trying to flash custom rom, but i can't copy anything to my storage... i did install sdk and the drivers and everything, tried lots of things, tried with adb push but it's not working, and now i'm pissing off... don't know what's the problem/.....???
p.s when i type
adb devices it says:
*daemon not running*. starting it now on port 5037 *
*daemon started succesfuly*
List of devices attached
HT35***** device
P.s.s I tried to adb sideload a rom and i get :
*daemon not running*. starting it now on port 5037 *
*daemon started succesfuly*
error: closed
Please help...

So when you plug your HTC device into the computer...go to start-computer and you dont see htc one as a media device? It should also pop up with options to open files in your device when you first plug it in

No no, the device pops out but the problem is the copyng starts and then it stucks... even for files that are 1mb

EDIT: Never mind.

the error message is telling you what to do. I think windows 8 makes it more difficult to use flash tools though.

OTA update will most probably unroot the phone.
you can use SU pro to retain the root after OTA update.

did an OTA upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2, root access is retained but i plan to make another OTA update to 4.3 but will get the SU Pro prior to the upgrade just to be more sure.

The upgrade seems to have a lot of issues
1. My calculator has been changed from the initial scientific calculator to a regular calculator with no special functions
2. The developer option in setting is missing
3. The screenshot option in power is also missing
4. The display is hazzy (seems to be vibrating at to areas of the screen)
5. NFC seems not to be working and no NFC or BEAM in sending option list
6. Camera delays when coming on more than before
I have also done an OTA upgrade to 4.3 but still the same maybe camera is slightly faster but not as on 4.1

The calculator is normal, a more featured one can be downloaded from elsewhere
Go to setting/about phone and tap on build number about 10 times. This will enable developer options..
Why not install a custom rom and see if that fixes any of your problems,,,I am using this one with no bother at all..its awesome...

Take screenshot is present in power menu..
There are no `hazy` areas on the screen..
NFC works, with my bluetooth headset anyways, but be aware that there is no icon in notifications..its a KitKat thing..
I dont use the stock camera, prefer to use lenovo camera, so unable to comment..
Best advise I can offer is to give the rom a try, try some others roms, there a loads of great ones, and see which one suits your needs..
Back up your data etc.. before you flash, I`m sure you know this anyways...
Good Luck!!

please can you give a procedure for the backup i am not excellent at these, i can't seem to find the link to the custom ROM

A question about :Here is how you root G890A on 5.0.2 and 5.1.1

Here is how you root G890A on 5.0.2 and 5.1.1
1. If your phone G890A Android 5.0.2
- Flash Recovery_COMBINATION_G890A.tar via Odin 3.10.7
- Put phone in recovery mode
- Connect to PC and open Folder "Method Root G890A" and open the FIX_ROOT and run it.
- Verify root, and do any unlock, IMEI CERT WRITE
Enjoy
What does "- Put phone in recovery mode - Connect to PC" mean?
When My s6a entered the recovery mode, I plugged usb and "open the FIX_ROOT and run it." did not work at all.
