I originally asked /g/ how to root my Droid RAZR and they referred me to this:

Then I came here and found this:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9325-how-to-root-the-droid-razr-or-razr-maxx/
Which one should I do? Are they essentially the same? Also, I heard that I won't be able to use Google Play store afterwards. Will this wipe my phone clean? I only have one app that I paid for, but still.Is there a way to back up my stuff beforehand if it does require a memory wipe? I'm wanting to root for more security, mainly, and by that I mean privacy like shutting down GPS crap. I assume ROMs are the root version of apps, correct? What would you reccomend doing? Also, will this make it possible to encrypt my phone, preferably with Handshake? It's just a regular RAZR, and it's running Android version 4.1.2, not sure if that's Jellybean or Ice Cream Sandwich.
