Its not one click, its a three click rooter.
I'm talking about something like. Z4 root or superoneclick as for some reason I cannot get adb to set up correctly on my pc

No, there is not. The current root method requires a downgrade RUU to obtain root. I recommend you head over to Developer section and use the root method posted by jcase.
OK thanks geuss I'll keep messing with adb to see if I can get it to work right

Hi all,
My Tbolt is rooted. But when I try to install an app its rejected because its says my phone is not rooted.
It's there an app that's I can down load and have it verify my phone if indeed rooted?
Much appreciated.

You can just download an app on the market called "root checker", but if you are not able to use root apps you might have messed up somewhere and will have to redo the process.
Did you root manually or use one of the other programs?
Hi
I did it manually....
But not sure if this unrooted problem started after I did new ruu update.
Manual rooted method.
Update. Just install root checker n it show I have no root access. Wtf...
My phone has been rooted for at least 1 month now.without any issue. Damn... Must be be the new RUU.
Thanks for your quick respond.

Pro-tip you can also just open up the terminal emulator and type in "su" and hit enter. If the doallar sign changes to a hash you have root.

there are at least two versions of the update RUU floating around. from the two that jcase posted in the the development section, one keeps root and s-off and the other returns the phone to complete stock with s-on.
maybe you flashed the wrong one?

I believe the manual method still works on that. Haven't seen anything different.
Yes it does. I waited on it hen rooted.

Without the unlocked bootloader all you get it temp root. So, unless you want to do an ADB temp root on your device while running pre-release firmware, you're kinda outta luck on that front. Do you have an issue with unlocking the bootloader we should be aware of?

No offense, but you haven't looked hard at all. Everything you need to know is stickied at the top of the Q&A thread. There's also a link the my sig.
OK well let me ask this then. . . What is the best way for me to do it. Is there any "oneclick"methods that would be really good for me to use?

The only method I'd ever recommend that is like a one click method is the Revolution method, but the drawback to that is undoing the S-Off is harder than the old jcase method. I can't recommend any "one click" based of the jcase method because there's too many floating around out there and unless you know the exploits being used, they're unreliable. The Revolution method is the current preferred method, and can be undone. It's preferred because it wipes not data and all you need to do after using it is to flash SuperUser and a recovery of your choice. I believe those can be found in the wiki unrEVOked maintains, as well as other places.
With the revolution method is it easy to boot in recovery and flash different roms or do you have to go through the whole rooting method everything? Thanks for your help by the way.

It's just as easy as anything else once you have clockworkmod flashed. Replacing the ROM doesn't remove S-Off or erase your recovery. I also like to point out that Revolution doesn't really root a device, it merely turns S-off so that you can root and flash a custom recovery. But once S-Off is done, the rest is as easy as flashing a couple files. Once you're to that point, you can wipe and flash ROMs all day. If you need some help or a walk through on some of this, PM me.
Just rooted my Thunderbolt after the Gingerbread update using Revolution method. Happy to say I am rooted with S-off. Have the latest recovery downloaded with my current Rom backed up. Next move is to download a custom Rom. I waited for this update for what reason I don't know to root my Thunderbolt.
What Rom to choose? There are so many. This is the fun part.

I just got a new photon and i was wandering if there was a method to unlock the bootlaoder. The sales rep updated the software so i have version 45.2.7 is there a way to unlock it and root it. Any ideas will help
You have a lot of reading to do. Go to the development section.
I know theres alot on the section part i just need to know which method works for this version.

I think you can run the bootloader from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216143
Flash it in RSDlite. It will fail, but don't panic. Pull the battery, and run the moto-fastboot command lines to verify that you've been unlocked. You can then root either via the photon-torpedo method, or AIO root method.
Good luck, and remember to charge your phone all the way!
Best,
K

No, there is not yet a fully functional unlocker. There's one that mostly works but it breaks 4G.
You can root it just fine, though, without unlocking it.

Yeah, you can root without unlocking. There are a few ways..I personally like the one click and photon torpedo methods.

Yeah if you want custom roms, you'll need to unlock the bootloader. It's a really easy process
1) Get RSDlite
2) Get the unlocked bootloader SBF file and flash it
3) Run the cmd lines to check to see if you're unlocked
4) Root and install CWM
5) Flash away!

Sorry i looked for a similar thread for this and i couldn't find one for the razr.
Basically i rooted by phone for the first time ever and the next day i noticed i had an OTA update. So now I have system version : 6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US . I did find out that i made a mistake in accepting this update and now I cant access root.
Is there a fix for this? what do i have to do? I need wifi tether by this sunday cuz im leaving town and staying on an army base so i dont know what kind of internet access i will have.
Again im sorry but i did look to see if this issue was brought up. Im a forum mod myself and i know how double threads are annoying. So just direct me to the correct thread if it exists.
There's a new root exploit called Motofail that will fix you up nicely.

Tbh, i saw that thread but wasnt sure it was the correct fix. Thank you for your input kind sir. I will tell you if it worked for me when i get enough balls to actually try this.
So this is how the time line should work correct?
1. Rooted my droid Razr
2. Downloaded and Installed update XT912
3. Update caused Razr to break root
4. Download and install Motofail
5. Profit?
I should be back to having root access correct?
yep there we go! thanks it looks like i have root access again. The only prob is b4 this happened my phone booted directly into clockworkmod recovery. it doesnt do that now. anyone know how i can get my phone to do this again?
Edit: I fixed it, all i had to do was install safestrap again.
Glad it worked! Check out Supercurio's awesome OTA Rootkeeper app when you get a chance, it'll save you the trouble when the next OTA hits.
