la121mo · Jun 13, 2012

the commands failed on mine.(rom is 651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.EU OTA 672.180.17.XT910.Retail.en.EU )

i tried it for many times.

Code:

shell@umts_spyder:/data/local/12m $ /data/local/12m/debugfs -w /dev/block/mmcblk
1p20

Everything's cool! Everything is working. Thank you very much. (RAZR GSM, Blur_Version.651.167.3370.XT910.Brasil.en.BR)

supercharge1 · Jun 13, 2012

i just did everything manually without errors and nothing

the only issue i saw was the reboot command was not allowed. i had to do that manually, problem?

ok, found my mistake: the 2 files are copied into internal memory. I was copying them into the external sd.

I did the manual procedure and everything went well!! Now I again have the root on my razr!

Thanks to those who have allowed this!!!!!!!

you are great at helping us "earthlings"

bye

This method/idea is almost the same as how to root the Transformer TF300T. @Rooting the TF300T

Thanks to @miloj who found this technique

bruciato · Jun 13, 2012

works perfectly with manual method on my razr on 4.0.4 ICS 672.180.17!THANKS!

cygnae · Jun 13, 2012

GREAT!!!!

Worked flawlessly on my LATAM GSM RAZR, Blur_Version.651.167.3370.XT910.Brasil.en.BR, only tip, if you do the "rebooot" line and get a "not permitted operation" just shut down the phone and turn it back on, it won't affect nothing.

Thank you a lot OP

dtrail1 · Jun 13, 2012

This is great! Much better than our root method which needs to wipe and restore the CID partition. It wasn't published because many users would have to boot via BP Tools because they would have tried it without having a p18 backup. Thx!

Rooted!

I've nearly bricked my Razr when trying to fastboot back to 2.3.6 just for rooting my phone (I'm currently on "official" ICS leak 651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.EU OTA 2.180.17.XT910.Retail.en.EU, it cannot be fastboot back)

Thank you very much!

By the way, the 2 reboot lines should be "adb reboot" right? I wasn't able to reboot directly (permission denied) so I exit and type adb reboot instead.

SoulGraphicsBrand · Jun 13, 2012

But ... I need backup root with ota rootkeeper ... Right?

I dont open shell from terminal without root permissions ...

P.S. And why didn't you wait releasing it until the official ICS will be released? Now Moto is able to patch it...
