I'd love to know some more specific information for this exploit on the Droid Mini as well. Getting "lol" as a reply to the only other post wasn't helpful in the slightest. I'm sorry that some people have a different taste in phones as the typical power user majority on this site, but it doesn't mean we deserved to be dismissed for asking a valid question.

If you know the answer to km8j please reply. If not, keep your opinions to yourself.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] One2thTEXAN:
Apparently he thinks too highly of himself to either shut up, or answer the question helpfully.

Answer to you question, is there are always risks. Have I had any issues on my Maxx with this method? No.

And, yes; just boot to recovery, make changes and then reboot back to write protect for daily use. :cowboy:

No SuperSU after rooting

I downloaded, installed, and ran PwnMyMoto v1.4.3 on my new Mini. It booted several times. It does appear to have been successful. When I now start PwnMyMoto again, it says "Device is rooted".

I, separately, installed Root Checker from the Google Play Store, and when I "verify root access", it comes back with "Congratulations! This device has root access". The only thing strange, is that I get no popup asking me if Root Checker is allowed to access root.

However....

I don't seem to have SuperSU installed. Am I suppose to install it myself from Google Play? If so, is it the one by Chainfire?

Also, I am use to having BusyBox also installed automatically while rooting. Ditto... am I suppose to install it myself from Google Play? If so, is it the one by Stephen (Stericson)?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
SuperSU and BusyBox Installer are needed from the play store. Or at least they were when I used an old pwn my moto
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] redpipe:
The standard su binary doesn't have any protections so any program that asks for root will be granted. This is why SuperSu and Superuser were created, to prompt you to allow or deny root access for apps. Any busybox installer from the play store will be fine.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] almostunnoobed:
stuck again

OK so I rooted my droid ultra with motoroot and then fallowed up with pwnmymoto rebooted into recovery and check write protection status with adb I got a zero witch I assume means write protection is no more. So why does root checker say I don't have root? I'm at a loss and could use some guidance in the right direction.

System UIDs Inconsistent

I've used this method to gain root on Droid Maxx, and things seemed to be working ok. Then I tried using Titanium backup to restore data for a couple apps. Now, when rebooting I get the message "System UIDs Inconsistent" "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable". What's the best way to resolve this?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] bigv5150:
I don't think anyone has had that problem before at least I have not seen it posted.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] IMJekyll:
I don't think it has anything to do with rooting my device. I'm sure it has something to do with the way Titanium Backup restored the data. I'm just not clear on the best way to resolve it. It sounds like the common solution is just to reset the device to factory default. I've found other posts where people have mentioned resolving it by using TWRP to reset permissions. I just downloaded TWRP, and I don't see that option. Others have indicated that they've found where the data was restored incorrectly moved/removed that data and it resolved the issue. One indicated there should be a uiderrors.txt file on the phone indicating the source of the problem, but I haven't been able to locate such a file.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

EDIT

OK, I think I found a solution. It turns out if I tried re-installing these apps, I'd also get the error: Unknown error code during application install: "-24". Based on that, I was able to find a suggestion to change ES Root Explorer to see hidden and root, then I was able to get to /data/data and found some references to the app that I was able to delete. That seems to resolve the problem. I'm still disappointed that Titanium Backup wasn't working for me to get my app/data back. I guess I'll have to look for another solution.

Quick question about the upcoming camera/touchless ota.

With a rooted device, what's the procedure? will the OTA screw the phone up or will it just break root? If it's a rootbreaker, would a rootkeeper work or are those made for different OS's

Thanks.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
I wouldn't try to take the ota without recovery. There were a few people who never took 12.7.7 and and then accidentally took it after rooting and got bootlooped. I'm sure someone better then me will come along but I was planning on pulling the ota from /data after downloading and ripping it apart on my PC and try to weed out the security patches if their are any
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] dagoban:
How about using Helium backup?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] IMJekyll:
Helium looked promising from the description, until I got to "Note: Helium is NOT available to Motorola devices. This is because Motorola phones have a bug that break Android's backup mechanism. Until this is fixed by Motorola, Helium will not work on those Androids." I'm using two Motorola devices, so it doesn't sound like it will work. Who knows... maybe this bug has something to do with why Titanium Backup isn't working for me.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] redpipe:
If you are rooted with R/W protection disabled or SafeStrap installed, you won't be able to take the OTA until you flash stock recovery. It will download but it won't install because it uses stock recovery to install it. I'm sure quite a few people will install it to see how it goes and report back if safe.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] dagoban:
Yep, Helium doesnt work on the entire Droid series since Motorola has the bug that adb backup and restore doesn't work. But I'm sure they fixed it for the Moto X (I mean they should) so just download it and give it a try.

You can also do a manual backup with adb backup + restore (just google how to do it)
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] redddog:
I'm stoopit.

I rooted with the Jcase method right from my Maxx. Is this "rooted with R/W protection disabled?"

Only reason I needed root was to do the entitlement hack. All else is unchanged.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
If used pwnmymoto yes your stock recovery is gone and booting "recovery" just disables r/w protect. So no recovery = no OTA
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] spiral777:
so than just flash stock if we are to eventually OTA to 4.3 or 4.4? rsd the best way? or is safestrap safe to use for an OTA...
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
No clue. I don't think you can take an ota at all. unless a root protector can be used, but voodoo didn't work for 4.3 and our root method won't work since its based on master key and that was patched in 4.3
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] bigv5150:
Here is a tutorial on how to update and not lose root it uses voodoo root protector which will work until the 4.3 update unless the dev fixes the app to work with 4.3. This should work if/when we get the camera fix from moto like the moto x is getting. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2466191

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] jamontoast1291:
I haven't been actively following this thread, so my apologies if this was already answered, but I seem to have lost the ability to bypass the write protection. I noticed my wireless charging sounds were back so I booted into recovery and everytime I delete them, they just reappear. Should I try starting from scratch? I still have root apps that seem to be working so I'm a little confused.

My phone is having some major issues and I want to factory reset it but it just boots back into the OS of course. Sorry if this has been answered but how do I restore recovery and unroot so I can wipe this thing. I love my Limited Edition Droid Ultra and any help would be highly appreciated.

I've lost all access to all my Google services. Getting security errors when I visit Google.com from Chrome on the phone and my phone wont sync either. 4G icon in my status bar continues to remain greyed out and all this happended out of the blue (checked for viruses already) Not blaming the app either as every worked fine before last night. I dont think root is the reason my phone is doing this but I want to see if a reset will fix it.

Everything works fine on all my other devices.

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
There are several threads that say: 0/0 = never rooted, 0/1 not currently rooted but was previously, 1/1 currently rooted.

Mine was 0/0 before rooting
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] BMAF:
I went through the steps that Pdroid posted to reset the qe identifier even though it was listed for the Moto X and I have the Droid Maxx. I was just playing around to see if I could get it reset, he said 0/1 is not tampered. I used these commands:

echo -ne "0"| dd of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc bs=1 seek=5379 (Only use 1 space before seek or command won't run)

rm /data/property/persist.qe﻿ (This command was listed on a tweet that JCase sent, not in PDroids post about qe identifier.)

Initially mine was set to 1/1 after rooting. After going through all the steps mine now says O/ ?dev/block/platform. Wow! Must not have done something right, but phone works fine. Haven't had the time to try it again, I'll have to reroot to get su back to run the commands again. It takes to long to set it phone up after wiping userdata, and it really doesn't matter to me right now. I'll get around to messing with it some more. I may try to root it again, and see what it says, then go through the steps again. The only thing I noticed while doing the steps is a typo in the first command. There were 2 spaces between bs=1 seek=5379 and the command wouldn't execute, it worked when I used one space though. That may have been the problem,

Ultra, stuck in ap fastboot mode

Stuck here on a friends phone. No clue what they downloaded or anything, however they have used the word "theme" a couple times. They did not do a back up or nandroid copy. I'm pretty sure it's not rooted at all. The pc only sees it as an unspecified device which it can't open in any function. Tried cmd shell and it says device is not ready for every command. Any help or advice would be great thnku.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Einsteindks:
Being able to boot into fastboot still is a very good thing! Make sure Motorola device manager is installed (for the drivers), then install HouseofMoto, then use house of moto to flash back to factory fresh.

Do a quick search for your answer. Many threads here discussing this update. The short answer is yes it will break root if you don't take the necessary precautions

For someone new, it could seem a bit daunting. For crack flashers from the Razr, same dance- different song. Take your time, and read the directions included. They are friendly and not very complicated at all. You will need current phone drivers and a computer running at least XP, but 7 or 8 would be better. I also understand that there is a Mac version included in the package.
