Hey Guys, I need some suggestions!! I rooted my Razr, and everything went well. I installed all my apps, and now I'm stuck in a boot loop!! I've rooted several phones so I'm not such a noob, but I'm stuck now! Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!! It boots up to the eye and sometimes gets stuck there, but sometimes it gets all the way to my home screens then it reboots. HELP!! Sometimes I get a message that says Sorry, process system is not responding, forceclose or wait but sometimes I don't get anything. =/ Also, my notification light is a pinkish magenta color to.

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Zedomax has several videos about the Razr. He is pretty straightforward and explains everything well.

Well after reading all the posts on this forum, other forums, and many articles discussing the merits and negatives of rooting the phone, I decided to go for it. As a complete newbie, it was pretty foolish but I accepted the risk of "bricking" my phone. Following the tutorial posted in this forum and watching several youtube videos, I was able to root my new Razr without a hitch. :icon_ banana: I've learned more about my new phone in 24 hours than I did my old phone after 5 years. This is fun stuff when you get into it. Thanks to everyone posting in this forum, I'm learning a lot!

Yeah z4root won't work to root the RAZR since it uses a different exploit, but should work to UNROOT.

Below is a link to a good article I found when doing research on whether a newbie like myself should try to root my phone or not.

Picked up my Razr from Costco this morning and have been loving it so far. Now that it's rooted using your extremely easy (took all of five minutes) method, I love it even more. Thanks for the awesome thread.
