Just giving a feedback: The root works. I installed SuperSU and updated the binary. So I installed SuperSU on system and it replaced Superuser app. Its working good until now.
RAZR i Root 2 (Jellybean 4.1.2)

what repackaged zip? do you mean this:
Manual installation with the recovery zip:
Recommended if you are having installation issues or are not rooted
http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip
it didn'nt work for me, installed but no root.

No: the one you pointed to is the official recovery zip package. The CPU detection does not work on the Razr i, and this will unroot your device by wrongly installing the arm su package.
You can repackage it easily yourself, or if you are unsure on how to do it, I believe there is a repackaged version a few posts back http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38797391&postcount=38 - please check it first though, as I have not used it myself.
thank you for information
found the package, but it's also outdated, because superuser was updated 12.march (so the repackaged package will also ask for update).

To update it yourself to the latest version:
1. download the official zip package from the link in the google play store description
2. extract Superuser.apk and the correct su from that package
3. open the outdated modded zip (do not extract) in your zip manager
4. update both Superuser.apk and su in the zip manager, with the files you extracted
thanks for your advice, but superuser had an update yesterday which solved the problem. superuser is now running fine on razr i (and other x86 i believe).
just for the record, the update of 'superuser' apk from play store works fine (yesterday 17-03-2013), I mean, you don't need to do nothing extra, just update the original (from the Root .zip of this thread) from play store.
so if you got a message for update 'su' do it, works fine.

Will it be possible to root JB without unlocking the bootloader someday? My device is brandnew and I don't want to lose warranty just for beeing able to remove some system apps.
No, it won't. This is a .zip package to instal via CWM.
Hi all 
My ROM is Mattlgroff's homemade fastboot "91.2.26001.Retail.en.EU - 4.1.2", so it is rooted by default.
Many of my installed applications are able to obtain root access : tasker, widgetstoid, Voltage Control, MyBackup Pro, etc ... and work fine.
But I can't find a File Manager that is able to gain and use root access.
I've tried : FX, ES, Solid.
When I enable the root access, "root permission popup" is correctly triggered, I accept, and application is listed in SuperUser as "root granted".
But after that the application itself cannot access root protected folders or remount anything in the FS.
Is it a know issue with x86 SU and 4.1 ROM (because it worked fine with Anrdoid 4.0) ?
Is it that my ROM has somehow been screwed up and has to be reinstalled ?
How can I fix that ?
Tks
PS1 : I've tried to install SuperSU, but symptoms are the same.

Use this one to root. ES will still complain I guess, they messed it up with the actual Update. But Solid Explorer is working fine for me.

Thanks HSD-Pilot, but after installation and rebbot I've got ForceClose when starting SuperUser ...
I guess it has trouble with your old SU Files. Best way would be an clean start > Flash Homemade > Root with the fixed Zip > Profit
Is there a way to clean all things with a CWM package, allowing me not to reinstall the whole ROM ?
BTW if I'm forced, I will reinstall a fresh ROM ...
Thanks for your help
Your Data won't get touched, so it's no big deal to flash the Homemade again. You even can only flash the System Partition.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik after that and flash the root.

To install only "/System", in the Install script I have to keep "fastboot flash system system.img.ext4" and delete other "flash ...".
Right ?
Right ?
I used the same ZIP with the Retail GB JB Fastboot (flashed with RSD) and I got no problems.
