Droid RAZR Already Rooted Before Release

Well, would you look at that. Just like the Droid Bionic and Droid 3 before it, Motorola’s new darling – the DROID RAZR – has already been rooted, weeks before Verizon and Motorola have even released the phone.  The directions on the root process will be forthcoming from P3Droid after the RAZR is already available. I am assuming they don’t want Motorola to patch the root process that is used before the RAZR has shipped. This is good news for those who are planning on purchasing the phone, especially those who have the phone pre-ordered.

The question now is will the permanent root process that is being used for many of Motorola’s products work on the new Droid RAZR? I am assuming that it will, seeing that all three phones are so similar. Also, lets hope that the ROMs will be as easy to transfer from the RAZR to the Bionic, as they currently are from the Bionic to the Droid 3. With all these newer Motorola phones being so similar in hardware and software,  it keeps the ROM developers pool expanding, which is always a good thing for us Motorola Droid fans. Does the fact that the Droid RAZR has already been rooted sway anyone into purchasing the RAZR over the Galaxy Nexus?

    I think I’ll pick this baby!

    Amazing specs. I hope the bootloader is unlockable/relockable at least!

      It does have amazing specs, and I wish I could have waited for this phone over the Droid 3. It is amazing what they can do in regards of a locked boot loader, I wrote an article a few days ago about the Liberty3 ROM here http://www.androidauthority.com/liberty3-rom-now-available-for-droid-3-29122/ It is a ROM that should work across all 3 phones, the Droid 3, Bionic, and RAZR, and it is very much like vanilla gingerbread for people who cant stand Motoblur.

        I hated motoblur, that’s why I stay away from most Motorola phones. But I don’t think the OG Droid had it did it? I think it was pretty vanilla. It’s been a while since I used my OG Droid lol

          It did not, it was a Google experience phone, which means it was stock android. The Motoblur on the Droid 3, Droid Bionic, and the RAZR have a new version of Blur that is not nearly as intrusive as the previous.

            The only skin I like even a little is HTC’s Sense.

            The new Blur isnt so bad, I definetly prefer it to Touchwiz. Sense is nice that is for sure.
