Easier Root Method for Droid 4 with ICS!!!!

I stumbled across a new and much much easier root method in the Droid Razr forums today while attempting to root my wifes Droid Razr. I gave it a try on my Droid 4 and am now successfully rooted! Everybody give it a try and let me know how it works for you guys. I've posted the link and the .zip file for everybody to download. Enjoy!

I don't have Root.

***Issue Resolve*** I used the above method to root and it actually fixed my superuser.

Hi all! To give you some background, I started on my Droid 4 with the latest stock rom on Gingerbread. I rooted it, everything was great. So the OTA to ICS came, and I accepted it... Of course I lost root, but Superuser stayed... I reset my phone to factory settings... It still stayed in /system/app. I've tried this method here to obtain root and everything seems to go fine. No errors on command prompt, it reboots as it should, then when i go run for example, wifi tether, it says maybe i'm not rooted. I went into superuser and set the security to allow automatically, tried prompt me first, and decline automatically... I've tried it the rootscript several times and even reset my phone again with no root. Is there a way I can use adb to mount /system even though i'm not rooted? I'd like to delete Superuser.apk. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

[Motorola Droid 4] svrnmnd:
I used this method because the ICS tool was getting stuck on "waiting for device"

everything went smoothly and it said rooted successfully. I went to OTA rootkeeper and it said that my device was rooted. I downloaded super user and installed it then I opened up a few root programs and it did not ask for permission, also the root programs did not work. so I'm not sure whats going on here. I used the gingerbread tool to flash the orig sys, then got the OTA update to ICS..then used this method to root. what should I do?
[Motorola Droid 4] kenp1980m:
Try downloading the other super user app in the market. That's the one that worked for me. Also, if it is waiting for device its possible you missed a step in the instructions? My problem with the original ics root was that it wasn't giving me root. Something was messed up from the method I used with gingerbread, it put super user under system/app, so even though I reset to factory settings, su was still installed.

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

Also, try deleting the things that were installed by both apps and starting fresh. Rm busybox, and all the stuff the script installs. Keep in mind names are case sensitive when working in adb.

This method doesn't seem to be working for Droid 4 ... just got this phone a few days ago and it's just not working.

Using the "root checker" app it says "This device does not have proper root access"

followed the steps exactly - was there a push to fix this for Verizon?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Really? No dev is going to listen to you.

Just dl a rom and siyah kernel and over clock your device. The s2 can handle pretty much any game even at 1000mhz. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeAxe:
Sorry dude but... even stock roms can handle all the current games on market...

If you wish to tweak your device do as kilometers4 said... flash any rom with siyah kernel...

Gaming kernel/script sounds more likely to be made :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmorD:
Why? S2 runs perfectly any game available for Android. Stock rom, AOSP, you name it. Dual-core processor and a high-quality GPU makes the combo.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayhamx360:
Imo galaxy s2 runs every game

But not perfectly some of them gets laggy some,times like modern combat 3

And overclocking aint an option for me

Because the device already gets way to hot when playing games

7.Reboot Phone

8.Run Supercharger Script

I don't know....as long as you ROM is deodexed then you can go to

android.mimic.ca and get your services.jar edited. As far as I know it works

on every deodexed ROM and takes a lot more work if your ROM is odexed...if you want to know, just look in /system/framework. If you see files with .odex extension, then it is odexed.....the important thing is to get

the services.jar from your ROM edited....don't take an edited one from a different ROM....or you are likely to have problems.....

Hello,

Okay, I have 2 SD cards here.. one is just an SD card and the other one is SDHC.

I cannot update any zip files when my SDHC is inserted to my Galaxy Y. Ive already tried to reformat it and did all the possible cure.

I am currently using a Merruk Kernel 2.0 but Ive tried it also going back to a fresh stock ROM using ODIN at no luck.

Are there any solutions for this? or have you encountered like this one too?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Okay, I have resolved the issue for some SD cards who cannot use in CWM or stock recovery.

I reformatted my SD CARD using Minitool partition wizard --> fat 32.

from there, i concluded that reformatting the SD card using your PC (right click - format) will not work, because the phone only reads fat32 system.

thanks ;D
