The su binary included in the DROID RAZR HD utility posted in the original thread doesn't work properly with Superuser on Jellybean. It works if you pull up an adb shell. Here's what I did to fix the issue (after you've tried to restore root using OTA root keeper):

1. Grabbed http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip and extracted bin/su from it.
2. Pushed the new su binary to the device, in /data/local/tmp

adb push su /data/local/tmp

3. Pulled up a shell, and su to root, and remount /system as rw

adb shell
su -
mount -o remount,rw /system

4. Copy the new su in place and fix permissions
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin/su
chown root:root /system/bin/su
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

5. Remount file system as read only
mount -o remount,ro /system

You should be good to go at that point!

I think I may be having this issue. Can you point me at a little more detailed instructions on step 2 and 3?

Or I can just make a fool of myself in public. Step 2 and 3 are the instructions, and I was able to follow them to get root back. Thanks

Nahh, you didn't make a fool of yourself because I did the same thing! Thank you pfak for your very helpful instructions. It saved me from suddenly having a cardiac arrest from not being able to restore root.

So I got to step 4 and did the fastboot
"4. Plug in Phone to USB and use the DROID RAZR HD Utility 1.00 to Fastboot Restore 0.6.25 (ICS 4.0.4 Official Software)"

It says press any key when phone comes back on....but it doesnt come back on.
In device manager i see no phone only "qhsusb_dload" with a missing driver.
Unplugging phone and plugging back in the pc recognizes it but nothing ever on screen.
I cant get into download mode or any mode for that matter with any key combinations.
any ideas?

Sounds like you don't have the latest moto usb drivers on your machine.

Is this the most pp to Date Droid Razr Maxx HD Root?

Has anything changed since the original post 3 days ago? I tried rooting yesterday with no luck. I am about to try again. I get to step 6 and then after the bug report part, it says hit any key to continue in the utility, and then the phone restarts when I press any button, and the utility says no device detected.
Thanks all!

Where do these steps fit into the original post? Do I replace these with what is there or insert between two steps? Sorry, First Time Rooter.

Works great! Seems much smoother than the Virteous ROM I was using before. I was having hangups after it was on for an hour and calls weren't going through. Hopefully CM will come out soon for this phone.

true... but then again, if you follow Step 7 of the OP, then you do NOT need to do all that manual updating of the SU. just let Google Play update the app.. then use the app to update the binary..

follow the instructions. i wrote them for myself.. as I did each step.. for myself. (and for you :) )

I did update the binaries at step 7, had root when I rebooted into jelly bean, I thought, but in the morning there was no root and a newer version than the one I had installed the night before.
Not ruling out human error, mind you, it was late...

Any suggestions?? I had chrome (from verizon) installed but hated the verizon bookmarks/favorites that kept popping up. So i deleted the stock chrome browser from Verizon and redownloaded the basic chrome browser from the "Play Store". Could that be the problem? Do i need to SBF all the way back to have a completely stock system?

Any suggestions welcomed.

Ok, the official VZW Jellybean OTA is coming anyday. If my phone is at the level of steps 1-13, What's the consensus of the list to letting the OTA install vs side-loading it(step 14-20) and keeping root?

After I rooted, Super User was listed as Up to Date in the PLAY Store. I went into the app itself and ran the update, which said I had the current version anyways (3.1.1) and I'm getting the sideload error mentioned above.


HELP!!!! PLEASE! I'm afraid that once the OTA is available for me I won't be able to install that either.

Hi guys,

I just ordered my Droid RAZR HD yesterday. In preparation I rooted my Thunderbolt for the first time and loaded titanium backup.
My question is, my phone may come with Jelly Bean preloaded, if that is the case will this method work to allow me to root it or am i outta luck?

    Here's a quick guide to get to the latest OTA Jelly Bean. Looks like its Official: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/3...or-droid-razr-hd-and-maxx-hd-as-build-9-1-41/

    and, yes, you CAN fastboot back to 0.7.2 after applying this update: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...erizon-new-leak-and-atrix-hd-att-firmwarefxz/

    This guide will take you from any current version, back to original factory release, root, and then update to 0.7.2, and then new Jelly Bean.

    If you are ALREADY rooted on 0.7.2, then simply do Step 0-1 and 12-22.

    Requirements:
    1. You have a PC and have the Motorola Drivers installed for your Phone when its plugged in as USB.
    2. You have an SD Card for your Phone (yes, you can do this without an SD card, but its not covered in this guide.)

    Issues
    1. You dont have an SD Card? -- OK, you can do it without, but its not covered here. hint, you need to use adb a little and push the update to the proper location when you dont have an SD card.
    2. You dont have the Motorola drivers installed for your Phone? Step 4, or Step 6 failed? --- OK, in that folder, open 'Drivers[REQUIRED]' and run either the 32bit or 64bit version depending on your OS.


    Downloads:

    Jelly Bean OTA 9.1.41 (Android 4.1.1): http://sbf.droid-developers.org/vanquish/delta-ota-Blur_Version.0.7.2-9.1.41.XT926.Verizon.en.US.zip

    It doesn't matter if you already have the JB update. The easiest way I have found is to use Matt's utility found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33610625

    1. Use option 1 to go back to ICS
    2. Go to settings - about phone and take the 6mb update.
    3. Root using the utility
    4. Install voodoo ota rootkeeper either from the utility or Google play
    5. Open voodoo and protect root
    6. Temporarily unroot.
    7. Take the JB OTA
    8 Open voodoo and restore root.

    Lol you guys cant just wait less than a week to take the official OTA??? :p

    Also just wanted to point out that if anyone else here has the developer edition you don't need to go through this. You can just simply root the JB OTA.

    I can't get the OTA to install, it refuses on WiFi and 4G. If I factory reset (after going to 4.0.4) setup and go to system updates without enabling wifi I see the 6 meg update but it fails saying "try again later" ... If I enable WiFi I get no message, then if I disable WiFi it just says "download suspended" I've been at this half the day and can't get the 0.7.2 update. Any ideas?

    Here I posted a link to the files last night but the other forum is down. You'll have to flash manually in recovery. Be sure to back up root. Here is the 0.7.2 file. The jelly bean file is in this forum.
