Restore Droid Razr with One Click. With Root Retained.

XDA member globed has just released a One-click tool for the Droid Razr. The tool does two important things — 1) It restores the device in the event of a soft brick, which is definitely a handy thing to have in the event of a flash gone bad. & 2) It retains root after the restore — again a very handy thing to have around. It can be frustrating to restore a device and realize that you no longer have root. So definitely a useful tool to have.

The One-Click restore tool has been developed and tested currently only on the Motorola Droid Razr (CDMA) and will not work on the GSM version of the Razr, although globed is working on developing a GSM version of the tool as well, along with further development on the existing one.
