Trouble is the unroot method is disputed some say a system reset others say you need to use root explorer to dispose to or eliminate certain applications I don't know which 1 works or if anyone's tested it
[RAZR HD Android Development] TruEastSydeBoi:
Read the OP please, unroot instructions are included.

Updates will most likely remove root. Any OTA's you guy's should be using root keeper.

No, dev shabbypenguin cleared it up. System reset only wipes data and apps, not sytems files, so you need to use the root explorer method to delete the files. It's in the OP guys.

__________

And for everyone rooted or going to root, when it comes to the patch. You need to be already rooted and use root keeper to keep root. Or not rooted and doing your first root after the patch. Having root and not using root keeper will give you issues re-obtaining root i'm seeing from some. They have SU but no root privelages and re-rooting doesn't seem to be working. I haven't had that confirmed yet. What would probably work is a system wipe/reset and then rooting again if maybe superuser had became a user app and the system files were removed.
[RAZR HD Android Development] nickb2005:
Yeah I lost my root. However, superuser is still there.

So do I need to just re root? And everything will be where I left off from?

does this root exploit work on the leaked jb rom?
[RAZR HD Android Development] madmonkey57:
Nope. But there's a workaround.

1/ Flash stock ICS 4.0.4

2/ Obtain root

3/ Upgrade "Superuser" from Google play, also upgrade internal su binary from within Superuser

4/ Install Voodoo OTA RootKeeper

5/ Run RootKeeper, protect root, and temp un-root

6/ Apply JB leak

7/ Run RootKeeper, restore root

theres no way to restore root without wiping the phone?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Orphee:
Hello,

Can someone tell me the difference between unlock bootloader and root by a tool like this ?

In fact, my question is : Unlocking bootloader with moto website void warranty and no way to go back, root with a tool can be unrooted later if needed for warranty purpose.

I just want to be able to use adfree/adaway and have full root access... is there any advantage to unlock bootloader rather than root ?

Thank you.
[RAZR HD Android Development] madmonkey57:
Unlocking the bootloader and rooting the system are two different things.

An unlocked bootloader will let you boot up an unofficial (i.e unsigned) system. Once a system (official or unofficial) is up and running, you could either have standard privileges or high privileges (root privileges).

You can get root privileges by exploiting a vulnerability in the system (i.e that's what this thread's first post is about).

I believe there is another option, but don't trust me too much on that, I have never tried nor investigated. It seems that you can also obtain root privileges by booting up a specially crafted system that will patch the ROM actually installed on the device. And as you might have guessed, your bootloader needs to be unlocked, since this specially crafted system isn't official/signed.

I'll leave that to whomever can help you. Good luck.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Orphee:
Ok, thank you.

So if a CM10 comes out, I will have to unlock bootloader if I want to flash it...
[RAZR HD Android Development] GoClifGo05:
Not necessarily. It would be ideal but if devs make a safestrap then you should be able to flash it to some capacity.

Sent from my JB'd X2
[RAZR HD Android Development] madmonkey57:
Probably, depending on what device you buy.... As far as I know, you can get:

- the International RAZR HD (XT925): bootloader can be unlocked by Motorola but this will void the warranty

- the US(Verizon) RAZR HD (XT926): bootloader won't be unlocked by Motorola (agreement between VZ and Motorola)

- the Developper Edition of the US RAZR HD (XT926): bootloader already unlocked

Besides, devs out there might find a way to unlock locked devices... That's what some US owners are waiting for...
[RAZR HD Android Development] GoClifGo05:
I have CM10 on the X2 and its completely locked down. I don't see why something similar couldn't be done with the locked version of the HD.

Sent from my JB'd X2
[RAZR HD Android Development] koftheworld:
You don't need an unlocked bootloader to install a new rom. What you do need is a custom recovery. That is being worked on right now. Unlocking or bypassing the bootloader will allow is us to install new kernels. Also, devs will have full access to the hardware interface so the roms will be more stable.
[RAZR HD Android Development] GoClifGo05:
Yup I understand. I just wanted to make sure people didn't get the impression that there would be no possibility of roms without a unlocked BL. They might not work 100% correctly, but its possible. I got the dev edition anyway ;)

Dunno. I just tried it and it worked fine the first try. I did nothing out of the ordinary, and superuser was back. TiBu doesn't notify me of that at all, and I changed my LCD Density and all that stuff. Thought it would work for everyone, my mistake.

Super fast method... more quickly than HoX !
[RAZR HD Android Development] Schoat333:
Here are the exact steps I followed, and I still have root after the OTA.

1. Unfroze all bloat apps (This means in Tibu and disabled through settings)

2. Download voodoo OTA root keeper, and protect root

3. Use OTA root keeper to Temp unroot.

4. Take OTA

5 When it reboots, open OTA root keeper, and restore root.

I then used root explorer to test, and make sure I had SU in my system apps folder.
[RAZR HD Android Development] nickb2005:
Okay, so I was one who had root, then lost it when I OTA and then I figured I'd factory reset the phone and now im stuck on the Android guy and it's been sitting here for about 5 mins. I don't think it's booting back up......what can I do?

EDIT: I finally got it to factory reset....however, the superuser is still on the app drawer. My phone doesn't have service anymore either. On the phone with Verizon trying to figure it out.

EDIT again: Okay so they finally got my phone up and running for my service. However, superuser is still there and now I have a question mark (?) in my battery icon in the top right bar and Verizon has no clue what that means?

Also, whenever I hit power off and then power back on the Android boot loop guy is there again and the only way to get back in is to get into boot mode and hit factory reset everytime. I have no clue how to fix this.....anyone able to help me?
[RAZR HD Android Development] M@|ice:
alright i have a backup of everything from tibu. so i just sbf'd the device for whatever reason resetting wasnt resetting. su was still in my app drawer and other things. so i sbf'd, and rooted. just used ota root keeper to protect root and temp unroot. im installing the ota update now. hoping when i get back into android i can restore root, in stall tibu and just run a batch to restore all system and apps and it look like it did before. i just hate resetting everything up its such a pain in the ass to find the free time.

thanks everyone! fingers crossed.

Hello,

Is there a solution yet for the IMEI (0) problem? i updated the French ROM to JB, but I missed the root that I had on ICS. i did it before I read the instructions on how to retain root from ICS to JB. The obvious solution is to revert back to ICS, but I won't do it until a fix is out for the IMEI (0) problem.

So now it seems that I'll have to wait for either of these fixes: 1. A fix for the IMEI (0) or 2. A fix for root on JB.

Unfortunately I'm not a developer and have no idea on how to fix these. I know a solution will be ready eventually, I just hope that the awesome guys that know how to do it can help me.
