How to Unroot a Motorola Droid RAZR With the Windows One-Click Script

The archived Windows one-click script is intended only for a Droid RAZR rooted with the matching DooMLoRD method. The original report describes a test on the XT912. It is not a Motorola utility or a universal unroot tool; if you cannot confirm the model and root method, stop.

Check compatibility before you start

The RAZR name covers different variants. The archived report tested the Verizon Droid RAZR XT912, so do not assume an XT910 or another variant is supported. Check Settings > About phone for the model number.

  • Confirm the root method. Continue only if the phone was rooted with the DooMLoRD method named in the original XDA discussion. A different exploit, custom ROM, recovery image, or root app is a different setup; this batch file could remove the wrong files or prevent startup.
  • Back up your data. Copy important files elsewhere, charge the battery, and use a reliable USB data cable.
  • Get the original package only if available. Use the attachment in the XDA-Developers thread cited by the original guide. If it is missing, use no mirror or package that asks you to disable security software. This archived community tool has no current integrity or compatibility guarantee.

Prepare Android and Windows

Enable USB debugging on the phone. For the Android 2.3-era menu in the original directions, open Settings > Applications > Development. Android documents USB debugging as the setting that lets Android Debug Bridge (ADB) communicate with a device; later Android versions may use different menus.

USB debugging is the connection setting the ADB-based workflow needs; leave Unknown sources off unless the original package documents a specific APK step.

The old guide also enabled Unknown sources, which permits apps from outside the usual app store. ADB communication does not require it, so leave it off unless the verified package explains a specific APK step.

Get drivers from Motorola’s official page, not an old mirror. Its Device Manager lists Windows 7 or later, but may not recognize this legacy phone on every PC. Connect the unlocked phone with a data cable, select Charge only if offered, and accept the USB debugging prompt. Stop if Windows cannot detect it.

Run the one-click unroot script

  1. On Windows, extract the verified DooMLoRD unroot archive into its own folder. Keep its files together and do not substitute files from another toolkit.
  2. With USB debugging enabled and the phone connected in Charge only mode, open the extracted folder and run RUNME-UNROOT.bat.
  3. Follow only the prompts included with that package. Keep the cable connected; do not close the window, reboot, or rerun the batch file while it works.
  4. Let the script finish and allow the phone to restart if it asks. If it reports an error, cannot detect the device, or displays instructions that do not match the archive, stop and save the message. Do not try another random script to force completion.

Check root access and understand what changed

After rebooting, check whether a root-dependent app can still obtain root. If ADB is installed, run adb shell su -c id in Command Prompt; uid=0(root) means root remains available. A missing su command or denied request suggests root is unavailable, but does not prove the phone has factory software. A root app disappearing is not proof by itself.

Unrooting is not the same as restoring stock firmware. The batch file may remove root access while leaving a custom ROM, recovery, or other system changes in place. If you need factory software, use firmware and recovery instructions made for the exact model and carrier; never flash a package for a different RAZR variant. Motorola’s Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA) documentation describes recovery features and says it supports most Motorola and Lenovo Android devices released since 2015. The Droid RAZR predates that range, so confirm that RSA explicitly recognizes your model before relying on it. Motorola does not document RSA as a one-click unroot tool for this phone.

If Windows does not detect the phone

Try another data cable or USB port, recheck USB debugging, unlock the phone, and accept the prompt. Refresh drivers only through Motorola or Windows Update. If detection or the script fails, stop instead of rerunning it; keep the model number and error text for the original XDA discussion or a legacy-device technician.
