Lost my root!! "help please"
Hi..first off thanks so much Rouxe41 for making this awesome easiest possible way to finally get ICS and as soon as i am able to donate something i will cause you really do deserve it.
I have been trying to use this for a week now on my rooted 181 but it was not working and kept getting error msg saying "path not specified" then i came back to go through all the posts again and finally saw that it didnt work on my version.
So i said fine ill go back to 173 then and see if thats the problem and it was.
I went back with no problems..infact i did everything with absolutely no problems cause your tool absolutely kicks ass and if you follow all the directions it does everything its suppose to...but when i had to re-root the phone something must have went wrong cause when i was done with my i.c.s. install which was soo
..and went back in to restore my root..i noticed it was telling me i was being denied su permissions and tried everything to get it back and even did those emulator commands but still no go.
I even went to the superuser download page to update that but noticed it was the same version i already have.
I have been hearing alot of horror stories about getting root again after the update but i really dont know what to do except start digging around to see whats up with that. I have also been having some internet connection problems lately too and that keeps me from being able to stay online for long periods at times. "they're suppose to be coming to fix it tomorrow though and thats why sometimes my times online are very limited thanks to good old comcast. Anyway..since i was already rooted and had voodoo root keeper already installed on my phone before the ics update where is it and why cant i find it???
If anybody knows how to help..i would really appreciate it please.
Other than that..i have absolutely no complaints and your little tool rocks.
Thanks again

I just wanted to say thank you for this. I read up to page 29, got tired of waiting and said screw it. I was on Droidtheory's Axiom Kang ROM for ICS and read that I couldn't use this method. But, since I could not get RSD Lite to work, I went ahead and did the Fastboot method. It copied the files just fine. However, at reboot, I got a triangle.
So, I pressed the Power + Vol+ button, and selected reboot now, and it booted to the desktop just fine.
Everything was easy peezy until I tried to restore through Titanium backup, where it told me that something was wrong with the SU file and asked to repair it. I told it to go ahead and I am steadily on my way to restoring all of my apps. Many THANKS!
I was tired of not have all of the ICS features and not being able to have hardware acceleration or video on the previous ROM.

I too would love to get off of this release. Ive had nothing but problems since installing it. My phone will randomly turn off or reboot, the rear speaker will just not work from time to time, my 4g LTE is now an unreliable and erratic connection when it worked just fine before.
My phone hasn't rebooted once own it's own accord since I've done this ROM. I've only lost 4G when I've been in a stairwell or basement.
problem here, so i went back to stock, everything seemed to be working fine but now it seems i have no 4g lte, not even in a 4g lte area
This is the problem with unofficial updates! Patience is a virtue. If you wait for the official ICS update, Big Red and/or Moto will honor your warranty, should you need it.

30UPDATE 8:56 PM 4/27/12: THERE ARE REPORTS OF THE LATEST LEAK MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RETURN TO .173 or .181
UPDATE 6:18 PM 4/27/12: There is a new version of ICS out for our phones and its ready to be installed with ICS Installer v1.2
UPDATE 9:43 AM 4/27/12: Updated patch! There was an error with ADB in the Motofail root section of the utility, my tests weren't catching it because I have ADB on my path. Sorry everyone!
UPDATE 12:57 PM 4/25/12: seems there was a problem with the first option, I have fixed it in a patch. Download it and the bottom of this post and replace the ICSInstaller.bat file in the zip with this one. Sorry everyone.
UPDATE 4/25/12: New version of my utility is OUT NOW! I have included RSD Lite in the zip file and the fastboot file that is required to make the switch to ICS. I have updated and thoroughly tested my instructions, and if followed EXACTLY as written, you will retain root after your installation. It is almost 100% fool proof. Enjoy the update! It will be posted as soon as it uploads to google!
Updated:
the root exploit to use latest Superuser.apk and su bin
the process to install ICS
style and layout of utility for usability
full instructions to fix your phone if you do something wrong
added the full 6.12.173 fastboot file
added RSDLite installer with instructions for use(just in case)
added instructions to retain root through ICS install (has worked 100%)
- no terminal app needed
Overall I feel it is much easier to follow, and much harder to screw something up. I just gave it to someone that has no idea what they are doing and they were able to gain root, preserve root, install ICS and regain root access. It is pretty much fool proof
UPDATE: Going though the posts i can see some people are having trouble with the instructions. Sorry I wasn't clearer. You need to have never used bootstrap or safestrap. Rule of thumb is if you've done anything besides just getting root, you're gonna have a bad time.
CDMA ONLY
I know that a bunch of you wanna get your hands on the ICS leak, but can't/don't want to go through all the steps to do so. I have a solution.
I have written a small utility to automate the process.
I am trying to get in touch with mattlegroff to add it to his utility, but in the meantime, I will release a standalone version.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Make sure your phone is completely stock 6.12.181 (it's ok if it has been rooted)
2. Make sure you have NEVER installed bootstrap, safestrap, or cwm. (If you have used these, skip option 1 and use RSDLite 5.6)
3. Unzip ICSInstallerv1.2.rar to an empty folder
4. Double click the ICSInstaller.bat file
5. Please READ and FOLLOW all instructions! (you will retain root)
6. You now have ICS!
Please like if this helps you out!
GET IT HERE ICS Utility v1.2USE AT OWN RISK
TORRENT: ICS Utility v1.2USE AT OWN RISK
For anyone having trouble...
DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Use option 1 or RSD to get to .173
2. Use option 5 to get OTA walkthrough
3. Use option 2 to root
4. Use option 4 to preserve root
5. Use option 7 to upgrade to ICS 6.14.84.xt912
6. Use option 8 to regain root after upgrade
REMEMBER TO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AFTER PRESSING ENTER TO CONTINUE!
4Worked fine for me on the 1st try. The package is great and very convenient to do everything you needed, but I found the instructions a little unclear and confusing. Hopefully this will provide clarity for future upgrades:
1) Download and install Motorola Drivers from HERE (you just need the "Motorola USB Drivers," not the "PC Charging Drivers")
2) Download package made by Rouxe41 from HERE and unzip files onto PC
3) Backup any data and settings you wish to retain from phone to SD card or computer, then wipe the phone from the Settings -> Privacy -> Factory Data Reset, checking the Erase Internal Storage box.
4) Ensure USB Debugging is selected in Development of phone Settings, then connect phone to PC with usb cable and select Charge Only as the connection type.
5) Open the ICSInstaller.bat file in the unzipped folder from Rouxe41 and select 1 to restore to .173 (if you have not upgraded to the new .181 or a custom ROM you should not need to do this)
6) Select 2 to root device. You can then check to ensure the SD Card directory is properly named as sdcard-ext. I downloaded Root Browser Lite from the market which gives you a clear directory access. It was already named as such on my phone so I didn't need to rename anything.
7) Press 4 to Install voodoo root keeper. You can then open Superuser and update the SU. Then open Root Keeper and click Protect Root. You should see a green check mark next to Root confirming that the phone is rooted.
8) You can now press 5 to install ICS. At one point during the install you will need to wake up the phone, press okay and then allow. Other than that just let it install/reboot. This will take a few minutes so be patient.
9) This would be where you would want to go back and check root access or take steps to grant it if necessary. I wiped my cache first and so lost the data needed I think. From what I've read, you would open Root Keeper and click Restore, then reboot the phone and open again to check root status.
10) If you don't have root status from Root Keeper, you can download Android Terminal Emulator from the market, then open it up and type in the following commands followed by pressing the ENTER key:
/system/su-backup
ENTER
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/system /system
ENTER
cp /system/su-backup /system/bin/su
ENTER
Then exit the program and reboot. You may need to check/restore root with Root Keeper.
11) Since I did it differently I'm not 100% clear on the wipe data/cache, but it may restore to a rooted version unless you ensure Root Keeper has Protect Root before you wipe. Most people recommend wiping data/cache with option 6 (you have to boot into AP Fastboot first by turning phone off, the turning on and immediately pressing and holding Vol +, Vol -, then Power Keys. Use Vol - key to scroll down to AP Fastboot then use Vol + to select) or doing a Factory Reset from the phone Settings -> Privacy.
As a final note for this package, option 3. Unroot is not needed for the ICS upgrade but is provided in case you want to go back to stock maybe? Option 7 for system pull is also not needed but copies the system folder for development purposes.
Enjoy3
I rewrote the installer to make it easy to:
- backup everything
- revert to .173
- root
- OTA to .181 /w root
- upgrade to new leak /w root
I'm testing it on my personal phone now.
Should be ready in an hour.
There will be a patch and new standalone ICS Installer v1.22
