How I Got Back Root...

Okay, it will be rather simple since I only did a couple of steps:

1. Before I updated to 4.1.2, I downloaded and installed Voodoo Root Keeper. I ran the app which gave me the status of having "SU protected".

2. I received the update message for OTA update. I accepted the various terms and let the update complete. I don't know if it makes a difference, but like the first time I setup the phone, I did not allow the phone to be "configured for the SIM". (I'm on Koodo, so no need from Roger/Fido bloat).

3. I ran Voodoo again after the update, and tried to "Restore Root". The status came back as my phone was not rooted. I verified in Android Terminal and Root Explorer that I did NOT have root access anymore.

4. A quick search with Root Explorer and I found the back (su-backup) at /system/user/we-need-root/su-backup.

5. I Googled a bunch of things and found that Matt's Root Restore script could work. I downloaded it from:

http://www.batakang.com/ftp/DROID_RAZR/RestoreRoot.zip

6. I ran the script from my PC with the phone connected. It looks for the su-backup file in a number of places in the phone and then places it back in the /system/xbin directory which seems to get wiped during the upgrade. Watch the script for a small number required inputs. If the script works, you will need to provide an input on your phone to grant SU access, just like when you were rooted before.

7. This script installs SuperSU on your phone, so currently I have both SuperUser and SuperSU. I have asked the script writer if I can uninstall the old SuperUser app without issue. I will post back with his answer.

Does this help?

Did it work for anyone else?
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
Guys there is a thread in the Android development forum explaining exactly how to obtain root on jelly bean.
[RAZR HD General] Ghostly00:
SMH!!! I probably shouldnt have rushed and be excited to have upgrade without reading the dev section.

So to get rooted i have to revert back to ICS then root? (how do i do that)

if I do that would i still get the OTA update to Jellybean 4.1.2? if likely then i could use the Voodoo protect and run the script above.
[RAZR HD General] biKF:
Not every guide works for everyone...

Thanks for this, however it was because of that thread that I used the Voodoo OTA Root Keeper in the first place. In my case, and it seems at least a couple of others, Voodoo did not restore Root. As I spent some time researching I found that other people has had problems before with a "1/2 re-root" using Voodoo. Matt's script allowed me (at least) to finish the re-root process.

Please don't dismiss my input (which was a response to someone else like me) because the other thread has a guide that COULD restore my root after JB OTA. "Exactly" is too definitive. :silly: :eek:

[RAZR HD General] superbrowndude:
So I'm running into difficulties updating to jellybean.

I'm rooted on stock 4.04,with the bootloader unlocked, and have vodoo ota installed.

When installing the update, it prompts me in cwm to install the untrusted package. So I click ok to continue.

A quarter way through it fails and reboots, then continues to reboot continously after it powers up to the home screen.

What am I doing wrong, what should I disable to install this ota update.

Thanks in advance
[RAZR HD General] biKF:
Are you installing the actual update that was received wirelessly or installing the zipped OTA file downloaded from the forum? I did the actual OTA update pushed from Fido and I don't have CWM installed, but I don't remember seeing much on the screen that would imply that the OTA update would do anything in CWM.
[RAZR HD General] superbrowndude:
I'm trying to install the ota update.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

It's the wireless update
[RAZR HD General] biKF:
I guess we will need to hear from other XT925 users that were already bootloader unlocked and with CWM installed. I'm sure that this is not the first phone where users had CWM and tried to install OTA updates.
[RAZR HD General] superbrowndude:
Yah where the hell are they?
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
There is no need to restore anything, you can directly root the phone in jelly bean. Did you even read the thread?
[RAZR HD General] biKF:
What are you referring to?

Which thread are you referring to? This one titled "Root for Razr HD":

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943851

is the one I'm talking about. It's the one that talks about keeping root through the JB OTA, the process I followed and that didn't work "exactly" as it should. I've just re-read the full 25 pages of posts in this thread and can't see anywhere that someone talks about a "Direct root in JB". Only "keeping root from ICS".

The only other rooting specific thread in that section is this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2118483

which is based on XT925 phones with unlocked bootloaders and with the installation of CWM.

So please educate me on where this guaranteed direct JB root guide is...please.

:fingers-crossed:
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
The 2nd one. I did not realize that it required an unlocked boot loader, sorry.

wifi radio will not go to sleep

My 925 is rooted and protected using Voodoo. After OTA to JB, wifi will not go to sleep. Even when I am not connected to any networks, as long as wifi is set to on, the radio just keeps on drawing power. I burn through 40% of my charge in just a few hours. Would like to hear if anyone else is having same issue. If so, perhaps folks should hold off on the update...
[RAZR HD General] Sumanji:
Downloaded the Rogers update linked in the OP

Renamed to update.zip

Placed the file on my SD card

Booted into stock recovery

"Apply update from SD card"

Done! :D

The stock launcher was stuttering disgustingly though :( I have now installed Nova launcher, and it's much more "buttery" :p plus the customisation options are amazing, so I am pretty glad I was pushed into doing this!

Motorola CA's Twitter has announced the update as rolling out. People should be able to pull it now. Hopefully someone with the "other" version can post it up.

So far, nothing on my end. :(

Can SOMEONE (No theories, just real facts) explain once and for all what is the 49003 version vs. 492002 !

What is the source of each one of them & if the 49003 exist, why it can't be upgraded to JB OTA ..?

How I Got Back Root...

I followed the steps outlined in bikF's post #136 and I have root back on Jelly Bean. My phone does not have CWM nor does it have an unlocked bootloader, however it was rooted when it was running ICS. Thanks to "Matt's Root Restore script" and for bikF for posting the steps.
[RAZR HD General] biKF:
I think the only way we will get an true answer is if someone actually has a link into Motorola or Rogers/Fido. Maybe someone with a contract with Rogers or fido could ask the question to their customer support.
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
Yes, 49003 was not an officially released version by Rogers and thus, no OTA packages are available for this system version. 492002 has a later build date and currently the firmware team has been unable to locate the official Rogers ROM for this phone.

If you would like to restore to stock, you can send it into warranty, just be sure to do a soft brick in it and tell them it got stuck during an update.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
If anyone has a nandroid of ICS 492002 please share I'd love to try going back to -002 and trying OTA

Sent from my XT925
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
Yes but by unlocking the bootloader we are already out of warranty from Motorola. Any other ideas?

There should be a big disclaimer at the top of the forum that flashing roms for this phone is useless and detrimental at this point.
[RAZR HD General] itzik_man:
I actually called Rogers customer & technical service. They don't have a clue on the JB updates revision or any other issue pretended to the Razr HD upgrade (they Know it already started).

The all update JB is fully controlled by Motorola !
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
If you brick your phone good enough, like delete the mbmloader or something, they would never know
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
Unlocking your bootloader is done through moto... when u put in your device ID its pretty obvious they know if u unlocked or not lol

Sent from my XT925
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
You don't send your phone to moto, I'm not sure if the repair shop has the same info. You don't know unless you try
[RAZR HD General] itzik_man:
I am not sure, although software upgrade are Motorola's domain, the hardware (the phone) is being repaired at Rogers repair centers including stock installation of the firmware...

Your IMEI is register with Motorola, once you unlock the bootloader. Rogers does not have this info readily available.
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
You actually send your phone to future tel. You can always call them and ask how much it would cost
[RAZR HD General] grant2:
The same thing happened to me today.

To fix it I had to do these things:

1) install "RSD Lite" version 6.0 (earlier version = hours of frustration)

2) download rogers 4.0.4 rom from pzyduck's superrom thread

3) unzip it & edit the .xml file to get rid of the line with "getvar" plus the next 2 lines

4) get your phone into "fastboot" mode

5) install the unzipped 4.0.4 rom using the RSD Lite program.

UNFORTUNATELY pzyduck's ROM is the wrong version to trigger the OTA update. So we're stuck on 4.0.4 for now... personally I prefer that better than sending it off for 2 weeks to get reflashed.
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
The more time goes on, the more I realize that we are screwed. I'm starting to doubt that we can obtain the Rogers Jelly Bean ROM.
[RAZR HD General] itzik_man:
Unless (as someone suggested), you pay a Rogers service center to re-flash the phone with the ICS 492002 Rogers stock...
[RAZR HD General] felcom:
I have a weird one for you guys. I have a razr hd xt925 that I bought from Rogers. I'm using it on Fido. I had a problem with the earpiece speaker. I called Motorola they told me to send the phone into futuretel. They fixed it and I got it back very quickly. Sent it on Thurs got it back on Monday. The work order said the replaced a component and re flashed the phone. Now I'm in soft version 49003. I have yet to receive a notification for jelly bean. When I check for soft update it says it's up to date. Does that mean I'm not gonna get JB?

I tried updating manually via sd card as described on a post but no success.
[RAZR HD General] itzik_man:
Presumably not.

The all story behind the 2 versions is confusing & un-explanatory. Why Rogers/Fido would have 2 firmware version does not make to me any sense...and why one version is upgradable to JB & not the other..?
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
492003 isn't currently upgradable. Its all been explained, the update is for 492002 danifunker explained why an update for one version won't work on another. All we can do is wait for the fast boot for JB unless there's a magical way to downgrade to -002.

[RAZR HD General] itzik_man:
Nice explanation, but I don't buy it.

What does it mean unofficial..? why not supporting it's own "unofficial" firmware ?

I am an IT person, an AS (Application Specialist) in SAP (aerospace manufacturing applications), and I wont release any development without the proper support. !
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
For all we know they could both be official, but unless we get any confirmation from either Rogers or Moto on the difference were left with speculations

Sent from my XT925
[RAZR HD General] itzik_man:
Contacting Rogers is useless, they don't release the firmwares, it's fully controlled by Moto (verified).

I will try to contact Motorola product support sometime next week, and try to clarify the versions issue.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
Alright let us know how it goes! Hopefuly the 003 is getting an update too

Sent from my XT925
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
I am also an IT fellow, but in IT administration within the finance industry. Motorola often releases test firmware for carriers. Often enough work a company likeRogers, they still have to make some tweaks to the software before they release it to the masses. 49003 is actually an older build then 492002. If you look art the build dates of the two firmwares, and the version number of 492002 is 49.2, where as 49003 had a build number of 49.

There were ICS leaks for the old RAZR XT910, that patched the gingerbread OS to a Rogers ICS. Rogers then decided not to release the version, and before a fastboot file was located I helped a number of users "jump" to the official ICS build. Just because something is released, it doesn't mean it's carrier certified.

Seems strange that future tel put the wrong firmware on the other persons phone though. I would contact Rogers and tell them that they put the wrong version on. If you can find a reference phone at your nearest Rogers store, compare the versions and take some screenshots if you can.

I guess I will wait a couple weeks... See what happens. Funny thing my cousin who had an android and went back to iPhone told me upgrades on Android are a disaster... Why he went back to iPhone. I went from iPhone to android. Lol. I now know what he meant. Very frustrating. My old samsung Galaxy s2 has JB on it. My brand new razr hd doesn't.... Now I hear I might not be able to get one??

[RAZR HD General] chgrbt:
Personally, I'm not blown away with JB compared to ICS. Been on JB for a couple weeks now. The phone was very fluid with ICS, so I'm not seeing a benefit from JB's "butter", also I'm not using any of the software upgrades like Google Now. I'm actually a bit disappointed that I can't easily regain the home screen space when I disable the Google search bar like I did in ICS.

Time will tell but based on what I've seen so far, ICS was fine for me.

User Generated Rogers RAZR HD Fastboot XML file

To those with unlocked bootloaders who want to try to get back onto Rogers Stock - Jelly Bean edition.

Again, you need to be unlocked in order for this to work (your warranty is already void)

chgrbt from XDA has provided me with a user generated fastboot file. After a couple of people tried it on here, they weren't successful so I added some extra steps to the flash process.

This is about a 500 download, compressed with 7zip.

http://d-h.st/9xj

Once downloaded, extract the files to a folder, be sure your phone can communicate with the computer in fastboot mode. Then run install.bat or linuxflash.sh in Linux (for Linux you need to chmod 775 on the file).

You CANNOT flash this with RSDLite, you must use the install.bat in the folder in windows, or Linuxflash.sh in Linux.

If you have any failures, try run flash-partition.bat under the Partition folder. This is the original file that was included with the Rogers fastboot provided by the firmware team, and was not patched or updated in the Jelly bean update. Once you've flashed the "partition" partition, try re-running install.bat.

You should be on Rogers JB Stock (with rooted) after this process, but I can't guarantee. Let me know if there are any problems, I hope this works!

If this post helped you please thank me and the one above this one by chgrbt!

[HTC Incredible S] ErlendPetker:
Hello XDA community!

I'm a new user here and fairly new to rooting my HTC IncS.

Well anyway a few days I rooted my phone and flashed it with the latest lacoste 4.1.2 mod. All is running brilliantly except one thing.

When I first tested calling function I was told that i'm echoing and that the background noise is terrible, then I saw that noise suppression setting was off. After I turned it on everything seemed normal again.

Although today the noise and echoing was back, and the suppression was still on. I tried turning it off and it got normal again, no echo no noise.

Unfortunately during the call it got worse again, just randomly, I didn't touch the settings.

I tried searching for that problem with CM10 but seems that nobody has it, can somebody help me ?

All the best, :p

Erlend
[HTC Incredible S] InsertDumbNick:
Try re flashing the ROM. Or try the unofficial CM10. If this problem still persists, I guess you'll have to S-OFF and flash a different radio.

Okay, ill try reflashing it tomorrow, but if I need to flash another radio, which one to choose. Im currently running 20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M.

Open mobile odin. Choose the "open file" option and select the rom you downloaded. It will fill up all partitions. Then flash.

If you choose to install IcS make sure not to wipe after installation.

TRWP includes HTC Dumlock which makes it easier, but you'll always have to do some level of extra work when you're s-on. That's just the facts of life with HTC.

[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Check out the second section of the TWRP OP: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1902381

It basically replaces your bootloader with a copy of recovery that is allowed to flash boot.img files directly, after which you have to replace the default boot again before you can boot. It lets you flash a kernel completely PC free, but it doesn't necessarily make it easier or simpler. There are still extra steps involved if you are s-on.

If you don't flash often I don't recommend going s-off. It makes it easier to brick the phone.
