Those threads reference problems with unlocked phones. The OP has a rooted phone that is not unlocked. So, not a dupe per se.

That said, I upgraded my rooted-only phone with no issues. I rather suspect the OP may have unlocked his bootloader and forgotten about it.
[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
You can OTA 141 with a locked and rooted phone. Just be sure to unroot (you need to do this manually if you ever used the fastboot preinstall method) and make sure everything is back to stock. If you used oneclick or any other root method that has an unroot, manually verify it really removed everything (su, superuser.apk, etc).
[Atrix 4G General] Alverik:
I have used the one click easy method only and nothing else. And I agree with you, it seems that not unrooting your phone before the OTA update creates this problem. I’ll be more careful the next time when the ICS it’s available.

I just want people like me that it’s not been in the android scene for long, do not get in to this kind of problems.

It would probably be a good idea to post a check list every time a new update comes up, reminding us of the precautions that we must have. Because even if you know what you are doing If you forget just one little change you made it could lead to some problems.

Greetings,
[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
btw, here is what I did to unroot prior to the 141 update. I rooted 2.3.4 with the fastboot preinstall method...no idea if this unroot method cleans up the one click method.

I am was also facing the same issue with OTA. I finally managed to update my rooted, locked phone via USB method using Motorola Software Updater.

Root is lost after the update.
[Atrix 4G General] k00ey:
I did the OTA on my atrix which was locked and rooted. Updated fine without any problems, but I did lose root. Can't figure out which method is safe to use to re-root.

I used this method and it worked fine. It did give an error message that superuser was already installed but it rooted the phone anyway.
[Atrix 4G General] k00ey:
Thank you! Worked great.
[Atrix 4G General] badnokia:
Charlyee, did you unroot your 4G with the preinstall method prior to following these instructions? Please confirm. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] charlyee:
I did the root saver method but I had all kinds of problems doing the OTA, so I ended up by downloading the software from the Moto website via USB.

At that point my Atrix was unrooted, but I don't know if it was the root saver method or download of the software.

I tried Motofail to root as well but that didn't work.

Hope that helps.

Sorry, didn't mean to write a thesis in answer to a simple question. :)

Is it safe to use the aRoot unroot method if my Atrix is rooted and unlocked in order to update to 4.5.191?
[Atrix 4G General] badnokia:
Confirmed Success: Unroot, OTA Update, Root

Sorry if this info is redundant, but I'm super paranoid about the OTA updates & wanted to confirm what I did worked for my rooted, but locked Atrix 4G:

1) Unrooted with the directions on this page: http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/mo...ons-including-stock-locked-2-3-4-2-3-6-a.html

2) Ran OTA update

3) Rooted again with the following instructions: http://www.android-advice.com/2012/root-the-motorola-atrix-4g-running-4-5-141/

I had this happen on my atrix rooted no unlocked bootloader I reflashed with the above method nd success. I unrooted my wife's atrix first and installed the ota with no problems. So unroooting first seemed to work.
[Atrix 4G General] Timelessblur:
I did not have a problem at all updating to 4.5.141 with a rooted phone minus the fact I lost root until I saw the link live4nyy posted.
[Atrix 4G General] tnedator:
Just an FYI for others like me that have been waiting to pull the trigger on the update.

I was rooted with the /preinstall (briefmobile) method (had never unlocked the bootloader). I read conflicting reports on whether OTA would work, and for some reason I couldn't get the Motoroloa update program to see my phone. Rather than figuring out why it wasn't seeing my phone, I did the "unroot" steps listed by gnahc79 in this thread and then let the phone update OTA and then rooted again using the /preinstall method.

The whole process took about 30 minutes, most of that was the OTA download and install.

[Atrix 4G General] sony108:
I am also on Stock 2.3.4 (4.5.91), Rooted, BL Locked.

I used Pete's One - Click Root tool to root my phone. Now as I want to OTA update to 141, so I first need to Unroot via One-Click method or Manual method?

I tried One-Click to Unroot but it gave following error:

"ERROR: /restore/ backup doesn't exist or is incomplete!

These files must be downloaded and saved to your computer in a /restore/ subfolder

Download links can be found in the Help menu in this program"

Please tell me how to Unroot my Atrix and how can I confirm that unrooting is successful? :confused:

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] gnahc79:
Are you sure you used Pete's one click root method? Maybe try re-rooting with the one click method and then unroot with one click? There's a root checker app in marketplace to verify that you no longer have root access. It does not check if the one click unroot did a complete cleanup of all files that Pete's one click root tool added/modified. You should be ok though. Worst case is a soft brick.
[Atrix 4G General] Alverik:
I don’t know how to help you with that error, but you can check if your device it’s rooted by using an application call root checker from the app store. And there is an application there that it’s supposed to unroot your device call root uninstaller. I have not tried this application and I don’t know if it works.

Good luck,
[Atrix 4G General] sony108:
Yes I am sure that I used Pete's One Click root method.

I was getting above error whenever I was clicking on "YES" on a dialogue box coming prior to unroot process. The dialogue box had following message on it ...

"Do you want to restore your /system/app files too?

If you select 'no' and have removed system files, you could prevent your device from working properly.<br/><br/>Also, click 'no' if you are using a non-Verizon DROID 3 phone or your phone is not a DROID 3."

This time I clicked on "NO" and then unrooting started without giving any error and after 3 reboots, I ran Unroot Check app and it said that my phone wasn't rooted. After that I went to market and uninstall Superuser.apk and now I am downloading OTA and hope that I wont have any problem :p

Edit: Update downloaded and rebooted for installation. But installation skipped in the mid and phone rebooted normally but then got this error message "OTA installation failed" ..... any idea what went wrong?
[Atrix 4G General] Renegade5399:
Thank you. This is the only thing that worked for me. Even removing root via terminal, still had issues. This however worked perfectly. Now to root again and be on my way.
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
Hello all, been reading through this forum for over a week in anticipation of moving from Sprint --> Verizon and getting a Rezound. Rezound was received yesterday and so far I'm liking it a lot. I'm coming from a Galaxy S phone on Sprint, where rooting was quite a bit different than it is on the Rezound. There are still one or two things I'm not sure about, hoping someone can chime in:

1 - I haven't received the OTA yet (I was prompted but I deferred). Is there any benefit to unlocking/rooting before the OTA? Seems like it works either way, just wondering if there's a benefit.

2 - If I use CleanTool for temp root + debloat before the OTA, will the OTA still go through and if so will it "re-bloat" my Rezound?

3 - Anything else I should do before accepting the OTA? After reading so many issues with the OTA update, just wondering...

Thank you - this forum has been a great source of information so far, and it's... ahem... much more civil here that where I came from ;)

:::: edit :::: scratch #2, I see that using CleanTool to debloat seems to keep the OTA from going through
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
1) No benefit if you plan on accepting the OTA

2) OTA will rebloat the phone and also kills temp root

3) OTA kills the current root method and you can only perm root after that which requires unlock.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I would just let the phone do the OTA update. It will make things easier for you.

After that unlock the bootloader from HTCdev.com, this will wipe your phone so I wouldn't do too much with it.

After that install Amon Ra from fastboot and in the developer section of Amon Ra there is an option to install su from there.

Root complete, don't install the new binaries, they tend to bork root access on this phone.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Use otarootkeeper or whatever it's called
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Also if you do unlock the bootloader before you update, you have to relock it to get the radio update. Its just a pain, take the OTA and be done with it.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
This.

Another thing to watch for and read about is mainver. You'll be on 2.x with the OTA. If you go with an ICS ROM you may get mainver 3.x and then might end up getting mainver errors if you want to go back to GB. There are threads discussing this and ways around it so don't worry, just something to be aware of.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Easiest way of avoiding main ver errors is to just learn to flash the kernel by flashing the boot.img in fastboot the same way you installed Amon Ra. :)
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, I like using fastboot. Don't know why so many people seem to avoid it as much as possible.

But con247 did come up with a new tool - Awesome Recovery Tool - that automates the mainver issue. I haven't had a need for it but people are liking it.
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
Thank you all, took your advice and am currently rooted with the OTA. Only glitch I ran into is that the main stickied rooting thread still has the one-click root as a step, which seems not to work post-OTA. Went straight from unlock --> amon ra recovery --> install superuser/su, all's well.
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
This is not true. I was able to accept the OTA without relocking. You just need to be on the stock ROM, kernel and recovery. I have also confirmed this with a few other people.

This is my first MIUI ROM and so far I'm impressed by the features it offers. I hope that users with more experience with it will let us not so experienced folks in on some of the secretst of MIUI. So in an effort to keep the DEV thread a little cleaner(an idea I kanged from LUMIN) here goes.

My first trick if you will was figuring out I could restore apks straight from MIUI fiile manager. Sweet. Fully restored phone without using market at all!

Hey Everyone! I'm a bit of a newb... I've been getting myself familiar with everything for about a week now, so forgive me if my post is out of line here. :)

So I'm a little confused about MIUI. I've flashed 2 roms thus far--Valhalla Black and one of the others (I forget which one exactly). I came across MIUI and want it!

The confusion is, MIUI is not available for the Galaxy s 4G? The rom by Raver is not exactly MIUI, is it? I downloaded the rom from here roms.miui.us/ and it seems as though it's supported. I tried flashing with that rom and bricked my phone! I'm back up on stock, but not sure what I should do. What's up with the roms?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Ravers ROM is MIUI. It's just still an beta so hasn't been added to the list yet. If you like MIUi give it a shot. Read through the changelog and thread to see what works and what doesn't. Just so you know next time I suggest only flashing ROMs that you find on XDA. Unless you like bricking your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soundrizm:
Thanks for the reply hechoen! I think I'll give it a shot... and yeah, I learned the hard way to stick to XDA Developers. I thought everything was pretty much the same, but I guess not. The forums are a bit messy; it's hard to sift through all the threads to find kernels and roms. I wish there was a list or something... but hey, beggars can't be choosers! :)

What are you doing to restore after it hangs? Are you on ext4 before you try flashing it? Have you re-DL'd the rc3-fixed file and checked the md5 to make sure it's not a bad DL?

You should make sure ext4 is active. Dl voodoo app from market and check. Open it and just click continue. The first box should say ext4 on. If it is and you still can't get it going Dl this and run it. I've never had this problem but gremlin remover would be a good place to start to fix it.
