In today’s smartphone competition, the Android ecosystem is known for its “open-ness” which is why a lot of power users enjoy tinkering with their Android-powered devices. From rooting to hacking to flashing custom ROMs and kernels onto these said devices, these power users along with the developer communities have ensured that the average smartphone user with a little bit of technical know-how (and some guts and a lot of disregard for warranties) will have the capability to unlock the true potential of their Android handsets.
The Motorola Droid Razr HD is on sale now at a special introductory price starting at 149.99.
If you happen to have a Motorola Droid Razr HD and have been waiting for the handset to get cracked to gain root access to it, your months of waiting have mercifully come to an end. Djrbliss from XDA Developers have finally cracked the code of the handset and have managed to gain root access to the Motorola smartphone. And the best part? The root method developed by djrbliss apparently works on the default Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system of the Motorola Droid Razr HD and is said to work as well on the leaked Jelly Bean ROM for the Motorola Droid Razr M. In short, this root method can also be expected to work on the Motorola Droid Razr HD once it gets upgraded to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
The root method for the Motorola Droid Razr HD devised by djrbliss is a fairly straightforward process. You just need to download the pertinent files needed for the process and it is just a matter of hooking up your handset to Windows PC, installing the current Motorola drivers and running a run.bat files and before you know it, you already have root access on your Motorola Droid Razr HD 4G. And the best part is that the whole process takes only about 3 minutes to complete.
If interested, this is the part where we remind you that tinkering with your device in any way is the surest and fastest way of voiding your warranty. Not only that, by tinkering with your device, you also run the risk of turning your expensive smartphone to an expensive building material (brick) or paper weight so be very careful. If you are faint of heart and are not very sure of what to do next, we suggest that you stay put and be content with the default Android experience that came with your Motorola Droid Razr HD.
