[Motorola Droid RAZR] mulderato:
Greetings XDA!

I am a Maxx owner and sideloaded the Christmas 98.72.16 build after it failed to download on Christmas Eve. After research & before updating I used Voodoo OTA Root Keeper to backup and disable my root. All went well with that update aside from loosing the audio of the startup (which I found annoying anyway).

I applied the "Patch".. the smaller update for the Razr and followed the same procedures: using Voodoo to back up the root, reapplying afterwards. All seemed well. Checked to ensure the root was active and it isn't even though Voodoo tells me that it is. So in short.. it appears I have lost my root after this update to 98.72.8. So what should I do next?

Should I attempt to use RAZR Blade again or?....

Thanks in advanced for the help!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mulderato:
Update:

So I cannot install SuperSU and Voodoo seems to have now lost my root in its entirety. Using Razor_blade root I have attempted to reroot my device.

All is well until Phase 3:

failed on '/data/logger' -- Permission denied

mkdir failed for /data/logger, File exists

Unable to chnod /data/logger: Operation not permitted

Link failed file exists

[ * ]Rebooting device ...

It continues without issue through phase 4, clean up, reboot exploit complete! But alas... still no root.

Re: [Q] Updated to JB 98.72.16 & Lost my Root

did u shut off smart actions b4 retry or was battery saver still on?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mulderato:
I left smart actions enabled with power saver on. Also changed from mass storage to camera for my connection.

Re: [Q] Updated to JB 98.72.16 & Lost my Root

Had a similar issue with different error. Factory reset and try the rout process again.

*pull your pants up and throw away your fake chain*
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mulderato:
Ok... here is what I have...

Because the Razor_Blade uses the Smart Actions exploit you must follow the directions with a few adjustments.

1. Enable Smart Actions on your phone from "Manage Applications" from the home screen.

2. Uninstall ANY updates and clear ALL data and cache from Smart Actions.

3. Enter Smart Actions, Get Started>Next

4. Select Battery Saver Mode and Enable

5. Save and exit to your homescreen

NOTE: This step is part of the root process but do this BEFORE connecting your phone to the USB.

6. Connect your phone to USB and enable Debugging Mode

7. DO NOT USE MASS STORAGE MODE, Select Camera Mode instead from USB Connections

8. Click run.bat and begin.

9. When you get to the point where you are instructed to go into Smart Actions (I think Phase 3) and do the steps above (steps 1 - 5) and afterwards enter any key to continue.... GO AHEAD AND JUST HIT ANY KEY.... DO NOT GO BACK INTO SMART ACTIONS.

10. Root should continue process of rooting and rebooting without issue.

My root is now restored. Hope this helps!!!

THANK YOU!!!

The problem I was having was with clearing the cache of the SmartActions app.

Thank you so much!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dlintz:
Digging up an old thread. I followed the instructions on this page but run into a problem after ignoring the smartactions instructions. I get this screen shown below. If a press a key this window disappears and my phone doesn't reboot. It says "exploit complete" but my root check app says I don't have root. Any ideas on what I need to do differently? I've done everything I'm supposed to do with smartactions. Is there something I should try? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] italiankd2562:
So I've been using this case for about 3 days now...and its awesome :D

This is the case : http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-i9300/electra-case-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-i9300.aspx

The case is pretty much a Kraken case with a battery built into the back. The battery is 2000mah.

With medium usage yesterday it stayed at 100% from 7am to about 1030pm (with using the trident battery along with the Samsung battery)

It is a bulky case..its alittle bigger than a Kraken case, but it feels stronger than a Kraken case. I dropped it afew times and it never split apart like the Kraken did..so they might of fixed this issue.

So ya..figured I'd put this on here since I didn't see anyone else talk about this yet. Atleast when I searched for it I didn't see anything about it.

By the way I got mine on Amazon for $45 with free shipping so you can find it cheaper than the $70 asking price. :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bb4arson:
Case looks awesome. Looks better than the kraken. I love trident products. If it weren't for purchasing the Samsung 3000mah battery I would totally picked up this case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 84maro:
This fits all my wants for a case...

[Galaxy S III Accessories] N1M1TZ:
Will the NFC still work with this case? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sd97cl:
video review please?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] italiankd2562:
NFC works fine as far as I can tell
[Galaxy S III Accessories] italiankd2562:
When I get a chance I'll try and post one up
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blaze0303:
Sweet, I hope I get mine in the next day or two.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FinancialWar:
what sort of battery does the case use? Is it samsung ones? and it is replaceable??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] italiankd2562:
Its a 2000mah trident battery not a normal samsung one. Its replaceable if you pop the back cover off, the battery sits right there in the case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Aftashok:
can you turn the extra battery on/off like the Mophie?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] italiankd2562:
Yup it has a button in the back so you can turn it on whenever you want.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blaze0303:
Well, I finally got mine and in short I'd say this case is good but not great. I'll start with the Cons First

1. The Rubberized case that comes with it is quite loose fitting so it slips off pretty easy.

2. The case is large for only a 2000mah battery, I feel that they probably could of used a higher cap battery.

3. ***This may only be mine*** The bottom snaps dont stay together all the time which worries me because if they are not snapped properly then the stress of holding the bottom of the case together is on the usb port.

Pros

1, You can use the rubberized case as a stand alone case (although I wouldnt)

2. It comes with a belt clip (again I wont use it, but its nice to have)

3. Comes with screen protection

4. When its all together its fairly rugged

5. It has the ability to select what you charge first when its plugged in (the phone or the case) and when one is charged, it starts charging the other.

6. Price, I found mine for only $45 shipped. Retail is $70 though.

I'll try and post some pictures later.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rwb1104:
You're not the only one. My case does the same thing. It's almost as if the rubber inner case is too big for the design on the bottom side of the case. I just sent an e-mail to Trident's Customer Service explaining the issue...I'm hopeful for a reply.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blaze0303:
I did the same, lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CelticNinja:
I got mine today after leading a Harlem Shake video at a sales training course. After misreading the instructions, I finally got it working.

It's taking some time to get used to the size, but it's an awesome case. Looking forward to putting it through its paces.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Aarongauntt:
I'll be receiving mine tomorrow but I'm a bit unsure on how it works. If I turn the spare on will the phone recognize it and battery stats adjust accordingly?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] italiankd2562:
The battery thats with the case is used to charge the battery in the phone itself. So me personally i run it normal then when my battery gets to about 50% i turn on the cases battery to charge the samsung battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rwb1104:
FYI...got an e-mail from Trident Customer Service. They're exchanging my case for a new one...it's being shipped and I have an RMA.

If this second one still has the same issue, I'm going to ask for an exchange to a standard Kraken and refund for the difference.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sd97cl:
Let us know if it's fixed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] arbi97:
i don't like this case. Design is very bad as for me
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blaze0303:
They RMA'd mine also, i'm waiting for the new one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Aarongauntt:
Is then extra battery going quick for you guys too? I'll get like from 40% to 70% when I turn it on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] menacke:
Sweet case but already had problems with it!!!

I love this case a lot but already had a problem with mine. I had the case on my hip with the holster and it got caught up on an armrest as i was sitting down and it broke the clip but the case took the fall and damage. Now if that wasnt the end of my bad luck the case apparently fell on the charging port and jammed it in to the point where i had to take pliers to get them out. Now it ripped completely out the case and it was broken sucks right! Well email customer support and they are sending me a brand new case even though i bought it from amazon instead of there web page. Other than that im pretty happy with the case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rwb1104:
They fixed it. My first "replacement" was a Kraken, sent in error. I called customer service to tell them of the error, and a few days later I had TWO of the Electra cases in my mailbox. I tried both of them, and one fit better than the other. It still has a slight propensity to come unsnapped on the lower clips, but not nearly as bad as my first case.

So, overall, again, I'm impressed w/ the company and their service.

So with all the jailbreak stuff and being able to run desktop apps. Flash was one of the topics for one app. The white list tool. Looks like we won't need it anymore. Tomorrow Microsoft(our leader lol) is giving us our flash for IE10. No more certain websites. We will be able to run all the websites with flash!

[Windows RT General] timn03:
I read about that, too! It's nice to know they're at least willing to make a small change based on consumer response. Of course, it does say there will still be a few blacklisted sites, so the jailbreak tool may not be obsolete for some users.

[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
Your safest bet is to take the battery to a store that sells Motorola phones and see if they have an old ATrix 2 or Bionic that they can use to charge your battery or some kind of universal charger to charge your battery. You could also try to find someone with an Atrix 2 or Bionic so they could do the same. There are instructions out there for a ghetto USB charger were you cut the USB cable off of an old USB mouse (or other device) and connect the red and black wires to the positive and negative (marked on battery) leads on the battery. I don't recommend that method, but it works. Or you could just buy a new battery and hope it has enough charge.
[Motorola Atrix 2] karthiks.840:
hi...

i had a similar issue...

i went to the service center and told(basically lied ;) ;) ) that my phone died when i was doing a factory reset.

they took the phone and installed GB 2.3.6 and gave it back to me.

i also remember them telling that they have a universal charger. you can ask for that.

Hi there I am going to the UK and I have seen that there's a lot of no tethering allowed. Is this actually true or is there a way to tether my nexus net to the laptop?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !!11oneone:
I tether all the time, never been caught or stopped. That's with O2, T-Mobile and Virgin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sparx180:
I'm on O2 and tethering is included in all tarriffs and comes out of my data allowance. I started off with a £21 a month plan then added the 1GB data permanent bolt on. And if I'm nearing my limit I just pay a few quid for a one off 500mb bolt on. But it differs from network to network and plan to plan on whether its allowed and how much it will cost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alvespt:
If they caught you they will block the Internet or charge you more?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wuodland:
If you don‘t get caught in the beginning chances are you won‘t ever be unless ofcourse server side changes are brought.

They‘d charge you as I don‘t think they‘d risk loosing a customer by blocking his data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alvespt:
Makes sense. Thanks

Windows UAC disabled - check

Driver installed - check (able to retrieve CPUID and such) - check

Choose Standard to install - check

Patiently waited it to finish - check

Nope, after restart the tablet the Bootloader version is still 0.03.12-ICS, and no custom boot logo, only ACER and ANDROID.

I don't get it.

One thing to notice: the part where Afterota flash the bootloader and Recovery is done in a blink of eye, Maybe it didn't really flash them in?

I get Status Error 7 and I don't know how to fix it, I switch the updater-scripts from an Exhibit ROM and I still get problems. Any help would be great. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] theAPANT:
Try using twrp and disable signature and md5, but at least you are on the right track about the updater script being one of the issues. Once again Google, there are many people with your issue.

OK this was one try on Google:

Thanks, will try. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] theAPANT:
Did you ever unzip your ROM because if you did at any point it won't flash

No. It's just the Updater-Script. It's my fault because I don't know what to insert and what to remove and what not. I need either your help, Tim's help, or Teq's help.

Tried everything i can think of, fastboot works, but adb devices command shows no devices attached,

USB debugging is enabled and every time i plug the phone in, it recognizes it as Xperia Z MTP but does not prompt any installation of adb drivers.

Tried installing using the google usb driver, it shows up then as ADB interface but still not showing in adb devices.

Also installed flashtool

i just get the message

12/043/2013 01:43:49 - INFO - Device disconnected

12/043/2013 01:43:50 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

12/043/2013 01:43:50 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

But USB Debugging and install from unknown sources are both ticked

SOLVED CUZ AM DA VIPER!

added the following to the usb inf driver under amd64

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_5193

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_5193&REV0228

updated the driver manually on the Xperia Z under portable devices in device management,

After installing device showed up as sa07 adb interface or something like that

then clicked on update driver then clicked automatically search for the best driver and it is working

ROOOTED!

This is a Hardware MOD this is not with any kind of software or kernel mod but is real simple no need soldering or anything related, you do need to open the device or separate the housing from the rest of the phone i guess there are many ways of doing it like a pro but i did it with a sharpie and couple of other simple tools like a screwdriver Guitar Paddle for Pry Tool

I used this guide to take it apart the lcd and board from the housing its showed in the first 3 or 4 minutes in the video

[YOUTUBE]PrArAes5liM[/YOUTUBE]

ok then once you take it apart there is a small screw in the bottom right looking from top and upside down the lcd (lcd facing down) take that screw out and then there is a flex cable with leds carefully peel it off from that end at the other end it has the vibrator board and connector and in the middle it has a flex cable that goes to the board but you don't need to take the board apart from the lcd but be very careful you dont brake the flex or you will need to replace it if you want your leds to work and the vibrator once you peel of the flex cable take you sharpie and you can paint the led or the small piece of plastic that goes to the buttons they are called "guides" you will see them in the holes where the leds goes i hope this guide help you cus i don't have in mind opening my phone again unless is necessary or there are many request for a video or picture detailed guide
