Ah, yes I did. See thumbnails... there is a protected copy too. For whatever reason, voodoo won't restore the su binaries. Really odd. this all happened post 4.1.1 OTA today.

I am having the same issue as well.

You must update binary on SU app before backup with Vodoo and install the Ota

This happened to me as well. I had rootkeeper and protected version backed up and now it's not working. It says su was moved over, but nothing changes. Anyone have any idea how to get root back?

Didn't back it up with OTA Rootkeeper. Tsk tsk

You can restore to ICS and do it over, but this time protecting root. Make sure you updated the su-binary as well... My DROID RAZR HD Utility 1.10 in this forum section has what you need.

Mattlgroff-I had done as you outline above (originally thanks to your awesome utility, btw...thanks!) before the update and I have a protected bu, but when I hit the "restore root" button in OTArk I get a little popup that says "root su restored" but it really hasn't as far as I can tell. (TiBU says it has no root access which is how I do a quick check).

I don't want to drop back to ICS and start over until I know why it didn't work the first time. Any help appreciated!

My problem was user-induced problem. Binaries were not updated, but more importantly, I failed to do a temp-unroot prior to installing the OTA.

I had to go back to stock ICS, reroot, etc, and then reinstall the JB OTA, this time, root stayed.

I can no generate a bug report through pressing the Power+volume Up key simultaneously after 10 minutes worth of attempts. there is only the beep that tells me my volume is at max.

using RAZR HD XT925

is is necessary?

I went through the whlle process. Rooted successfully on ICS, temp unroot, update OTA, restore root. Didnt work. After the OTA lost root although VooDoo has all 5 check boxes ticked, Root Checker says I have no root... Cant run any root apps. Do I have to go back to ICS now to get root? If so, how do we go back to ICS? Thanks.

GoClifGo05 · Dec 25, 2012

When you want back to ICS did you take the small update before rooting?

Anyway, the easiest wag to go back to ICS is to use this utility. It will give you a root option too. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33610625

Problem solved and now rooted, but have new problem now, tried to update got a message that there is 6 MB available but after downloading and installing it, i got an error "update failed" any solutions please????

Hey guys, I have the xt926 Dev edition, which i've read is easier to obtain root than the standard edition. I tried the root method here, and it didn't work. Can anyone tell me how to get root for the dev edition? Bootloader is unlocked and I'm on 4.1.1. Thanks.

For people having trouble getting the "Exploit Failed" message. I fixed it eventually but I did two things and am unsure which made it work.

1) When running the batch file, I was sure to specifically hit 'Enter' when prompted to press any key
2) I uninstalled 'BusyBox Installer' and 'SuperUser' which I already had on my phone before running the batch file.

minty95 · Jan 12, 2013

re installing ICS is failing, I reboot back into JB every time I think that this is due to me running a French sytem (SFR), as the other options 2 & 3 work just nicely

Any Ideas

I'm getting
preflash validation failed for CPI
Partition (boot) security vesion downgraded
Preflash validation failed for boot
Partition (systemp ) security bersion downgraded
PIV block validation for system failes
invalid PIV image : system
Failed to hab check for recovery 0x56
preflash validation failed for recovery
failed to hab check for devtree 0x56
preflash validation failed for devtree

I've added a photo of the screen that may help
http://s333.beta.photobucket.com/user/minty95/media/Razr/DSCN13521_zps5188d07c.jpg.html

So I'm still with jelly bean except I have none or very reseau, its no longer working, at the hous I'm not capturi,h anuthings, so something is broken

Also my fast boot is broken, every time I start the phone it locks into fastboot, I have to go into recover to start the phoen

Some help would be nice thanks

thanks

I did what you recommended, but I wasn't able to make it work either...

Curious, You DLed SU before rooting? Why?

Is anybody aware if this works w/ the XT925?

Root is already available for the Motorola Razr HD & Maxx!

I grabbed this from the Razr M forums, it will work for a variety of new Motorola Devices.

Instructions:

Download

Unzip

Install Motorola Drivers

Enable USB Debugging on Phone

Plug Into PC

Run The Batch File "Run"

Follow Along the CMD Prompt for Progress & Let it Finish

Enjoy and Hope for some Developers to Pick Up This Phone to Rom

**UPDATE**JellyBean OTA In order to update to the latest OTA without losing root you need to:

Be Rooted on ICS

Use VooDoo Rootkeeper to do the following

Protect Root

Temp Unroot

Take the JB OTA

Restore Root

Enjoy being both on the latest and rooted. Remember, do not just take the update without doing both those two things as there is no root exploit currently available for JB.

This is a one-click-method so all you have to do is the prerequisites and it will do the rest for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to Unroot:
Thanks shabbypenguin for posting this.

You can manually unroot your Droid by using a root file manager program (such as root explorer) and mountsystem as R/W. Then delete the following:

/system/app/Superuser.apk
/system/bin/su
and if it has it
/system/xbin/su
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Downloads:
Here's the link to the drivers: Motorola Drivers
Root File is attached to the Post, but here are some Mirrors:
Mirror 1
Mirror 2

Rooting your phone works whether you have the Developer version or not.

Hit thanks if this made you happy!

Screenie:

*Disclaimer: This root exploit was created by Dan Rosenburg and not myself, so I take no credit in creating it . You are only hitting "Thanks" for me sharing this root method and simple guide on the appropriate forum.*

.

I followed the rooting process and i also followed the unroot process but i forgot to set file manager to r/w when i deleted the files mentioned, now i cannot get the ota update and or get root back. I dont want to get any deeper so WHAT SHOULD I DO , EASIEST??

Flash back to stock rom and try again.
