I'm in the same shoe. Same Verizon OS.
Without root, I lose so much. Somebody please develop a root utility for this ROM.

Ok so they I guess started making another droid 4 I have a production date of Friday the 8th feb. 2013 so it was just made 2 months ago and I got it 1 week ago ... I was all happh to see it had a snap dragon processor at 1.3 ghz but as far as activating ,rooting ,roms etc iam out of luck I have tried to rsd lite back to ics NO DICE and even so then it would be activated on ics and I couldn't have jb and razor blade miracle is garbage I quote "will also work for droid 4 running 4.1.2 ." liar
any way between jrummy , dan rosenburg, djbliss and all the others can you please make a root for exclusive the droid 4 running jb 4.1.2 system
98.72.18.xt894.Verizon.en.US please!!!!
and it has to work with the phone not being activated ,I did do the micro sim though though that might be the problem but no !
and for every 1 that has searched on you tube on bypassing the activation screen on droid 4 it is turn it side ways and hit top lft / top rt bottom lft /bottom rt well there are lines not the top ill do a video when I have time but its the same as the razor maxx and hd but no 1 ever posted it I found razors galor nit no droid 4 and now there is a second gen droid 4 that kicks but so come on help us struggling people out who just want to be admin,s on our cell phones its like having windows and not being able to use the control panel ....boooooo
