Locked Bootloader of the Motorola Droid RAZR HD (Verizon) has prevented many developers to develop various recoveries and all that stuff that require the bootloader to be unlocked. While it was not possible to force Verizon to ship the device with unlocked bootloader, some of the developers over at XDA found out a simple solution in the form of a safestrap recovery. The said recovery resides on the separate partition on your device leaving the main partition untouched, therefore it works pretty well even on locked bootloader. To learn how you can get the aforementioned recovery on your device, just follow our guide below.
