The easiest way to root is:

• Download an app called GooManager from the Play Store

  .
• And download this file and place it in the sd-card

• Open the GooManager App and find where says Flash ROMs and Press on it.
• You will (might) get a message saying stuff about needing a recovery bla bla and have 2 options press on the one saying Try to find one for me.
• Than it will confirm with you if you want to download/install the recovery you should press YES
• It will do its thing and than ask you if you want to install the recovery it found most likely be TWRP press YES.
• It will install the recovery than in the app there is an option Reboot Recovery press on that.
• Once in the recovery press where it says Install
• Find the second file you downloaded on the sd-card.
• Confirm flashing.

After that you should have root all you have to do is reboot system and enjoy.

I get stuck on step 6, it can't find TWRP when I try to find it in GooManager. Can I install the recovery manually instead?

Thanks I got the recovery to install. I found it on GooManager but after downloading didn't know how to install, so I just manually installed it using fastboot. So after that I should install the CVM-SuperUser zip in TWRP Recovery?

Of course I'm making a backup first.

This worked great. Just used it to root the new JB on my Razr M Developer Edition. Thank You!

I followed the steps. All seems to work except rebooting in recovery mode. Manually (using Bootloader menu), I am getting the stock recovery screen (Android with !) which will not allow me to do anything. I tried rebooting from GooManager and no luck either. I am on the last step just need to install SuperSu (currently sitting in my SD card)

thanks, this worked!. By the way, I had to user TeamWin recovery as the TWRP and Clockwork would not work.
