Help RAZR MAXX is rootable, correct? Recent article contradicts

[altjx]

Hey all,

Just got my RAZR MAXX yesterday after selling my iPhone 4s, and I'm wanting to take some precaution before I jump right into rooting. It's been awhile since I've been on android and I've always heard about bricking phones, etc...

So I've done some research and looks like there's some legitimate ways to root such as Easily Root your DROID 4 & 3, RAZR, RAZR MAXX, and BIONIC (please tell me if this is outdated or shouldn't use it)... However, I just found another article of a RAZR MAXX review Droid RAZR MAXX by Mototrola Review ? The Gadgeteer and it states that Motorola boot-loader prevents rooting.. It was posted a few days ago, so I'm kind of curious if rooting the maxx is still possible.

Thanks for any input.

The Razr Maxx can be rooted and ROM'd but because it has a locked bootloader, you won't be able to flash kernels. You can follow these directions to get it done:
