deleted thx anyway
rooted? if so you could try using adb to delete the unlock widget. also you can try clearing cache from the bootloader.

not rooted, but there was an AIO root tool i used for my last photon(warranty replacement), I just havent gotten around to it yet for this one. everything still seems to be working, so theoretically it could work, but idk adb code :/
I wouldn't know how to remove it once/if I can get it rooted

After flashing new moto update (the one from this forum, not the one that came over the air) using RSD Lite, it worked. Then I ran through the dock root method to root it, that seemed to work. And then I restarted the phone and get the red moto logo and it will not get past it. Should I reflash this update or do I need to flash something else like stock pudding? I will attempt to flash 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US again and hope that fixes whatever got broke. Any other advice?
Did you try a battery pull and reboot?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Oh yes. The photon battery pull is well documented. It fixes many problems but it's not fixing this one so a reflash of the update is happening now but I have a bad feeling that isn't it.
Okay. It did work. Acted like it wasn't going to but then started to work. Should I redo the dock root and assume I typoed (I'm pretty sure I did not) or should I do photon torpedo? I did dock root before the OTA several weeks ago and it worked fine then.
No you don't have to buy a new photon. Mine did the same thing but I flashed like 4 times before it took. If you can get it into rsd lite to flash something your not bricked. Take the battery out for 5 minutes, put it back in and try to flash it again. It should take and boot up. Also close rsd lite then reopen it.

Try the one click root method. Glad you got out straightened out.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Okay. The phone didn't temp brick last time because of the root method I chose, it was busybox related. I forgot that LCD Density Changer relied on Busybox to set the default system density. The option had already been set to save it as a system default. So whatever was done to install Busybox has to do it again. If someone isn't sure, they can always uninstall any root requiring programs that also use Busybox when going from root to unrooted to rooted.

I agree, try the one click root method as I was having errors and this worked for me.
Edit* glad it all worked out
Well i am not rooted at the moment cause i flashed a zip that took root off and still have a custom kernal going with unlocked bootloader is that even supposed to be possible?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Thats impossible. As soon as you flashed that "zip" it over writes everything. You need to be unlock to have a custom kernel

Interesting. Interesting indeed. Is there anyway you could upload a vid of this?
i wouldent suggest it seeing now after it turned off it wouldent do the sbf files to fix. idk if it was dealing with that cause the sbf always finishes but ends up in a boot loop which as of right now im trying to fix it. but if it happens again ill c what i can do to show you. cause i always thought you had to be rooted to have an unlocked but idk if it was just a one time thing
Is the super user app installed?

I have this same issue right now how it happened for me is that I orginally used the one click root method I found here. Later down the road I noticed that a stable build of cm7 had come out so I decided to try it out. I flashed pudding and it worked just fine and unlocked the device when I went to go get clockwork on the device however, I noticed the my root was no longer working reading in the comments section I saw that the one click root method was not compatible with the unlocked bootloader. I tried to root the phone with the system.img file that it mentioned using in the guide it worked at least as far as pushing it to the device but still no root. I then tried to flash the device back to stock I used the sbf file provided and it did wipe the phone but I still have the unlock icon when I boot the phone and can no longer root it no matter what method I try. If anyone can help me with re locking my device, I would greatly appreciate it.
Have you tryed the depudding. Go into the pudding unlock section theres one that relocks it just like how u unlocked it
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
As far as I'm aware, being unlocked and being rooted are two separate processes on this phone. You don't have to have one to have the other. I've been rooted and locked, rooted and unlocked, and unlocked with no root. Hope that helps.
And I haven't had any problems with the one-click root and unlocking or sbf-ing back to stock.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Thanks for the help guys I got it to work now had to do a factory reset and then flash the sbf file and the seemed to unroot the device it still didn't unlock it however I think if I used the depudding method curly mentioned it would work.
photon
I am currently running an "unlocked bootloader" on a non- rooted system on my photon 4g. I was rooted and then unrooted because I couldn't flash cwm for some reason....I am really really looking to installing miui with the ultimate iphone theme. I love how poloshed and clean it looks!
I rooted my razr using doomlords method and now i cant re-root it. Everything was fine until my gmail wasnt able to reply to messages so i unrooted and now it works again. So when i tried to re-root it, it didnt complete. I originally did i from another computer and that computer broke down on me. The cpu i have now doesnt have internet access. Could that be the reason why it wont root? Do i have to do a system reset? I dont get what im doing wrong. Please help

I think it has something to do with the motorola USB drivers you need to install.
you can check it also with ADB. I think you computer doesn't see your phone.
I had the the same problem when trying to re-root my razr. I went through the batch file lineby line typing it in manually. Here is what I found. It was not installing superuser the 2nd time around. It looked like I was rooted as I could use astro to access the / folder. I installed superuser and it started working.
Give this a try. Hope it helps.
ok so i tried to root my phone again with my work cpu and it still wont root. it reads cannot find the specified file. when i plug the phone to the computer it reads the device because it says all drivers are installed and ready to use. i also installed super user again and still the same thing. my phone still acts like its rooted but it really is not. i un-rooted using ginger un-root. now what? im thinking about just backing up my fone again, doing a reset and then root and then put everything back the way it was. but i dont wanna get rid of my free wifi tether. thanks for you suggestions so far, any other ideas?....

Could you paste the errors message you occured when you try to root please?
Got it! I forgot what post i saw it in but i had the runme file in the same folder with the other programs that were un-zipped. Once i removed it, zoom....... back in business. THANK YOU FELLAS!!!!

Long story short, tried the Google Wallet fix with changing the build.prop, and unfortunately it didn't work so I decided to just delete the change one and rename my backup to build.prop, and then I totally spaced and forgot to take the .bak off the original.
Is it possible to to rename the file through fastboot? If there is, can someone tell me the command? I can reflash the RUU if I have to, but I'd rather keep everything on my phone still.
Thanks

Tried ADB yet?

Yea tried adb, but computer wouldn't recognize it.
Luckily the RUU ran perfectly though so at least I got my phone working again
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
The latest TWRP has adb support in recovery, just use that.
If you don't have that, flash the RUU.
So I did the HTC unlock after receiving my Asurion claim (1.19 Hboot) a couple months ago. I haven't messed around with it much because I've been busy irl. I installed TWRP, Fresh, and just recently the "deSensed ICS ~ Dialer, Tumblers & Apps! -Updated Mean4.4 & Goodies2.11!" theme. Now I've been thinking I'd really like to just flash CM10 now that it's starting to mature so I installed TB and it wasn't able to gain root access (tried a couple different SU apps). I checked several other apps and none were able to gain root (ES file explorer, Quick Boot, Root Explorer, etc). I originally thought that the issue was the fact I flashed Fresh over the stock rom after just wiping Cache but I just wiped everything (Cache, Dalvik, System, Factory Reset, in that order), flashed a newly downloaded Fresh rom, and downloaded TB and got the same "Root Access: Failed" error. I'm at a loss. I'm running Fresh, I have TWRP installed, but I have no root access. Any help would be appreciated.

try root checker basic from the playstore to confirm you are rooted but it doesn't make sense the you can have twrp and flash fresh without root
Sounds like your Su binaries may have got messed up. Try using only one Su and see if that works. You may need to flag Su in twrp

That's what I'm saying, it doesn't make sense.Root Checker gave me "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access"

I had the SU that comes in Fresh installed and it wasn't working so last night I installed a different one from the market, that didn't work either, uninstalled. I tried updating binaries on one (couldn't find the option to do it on the other) and that worked fine but it failed to gain root.
Just now I fixed Permissions via TWRP, deleted the SU that comes with Fresh via TWRP, uninstalled and reinstalled the other SU with the same results.
Try going into su and check grant permissions automatically and make sure fastboot is unchecked.....see if that helps

HUH?
I tried re-locking and doing the HTC unlock again. I restored my Fresh nandroid and I have the same results. I'll try re-locking and unlocking again when I get a chance and this time I'll see if SU works before restoring.
I have same issues. Adaway and wifi tether both say I have no root. Running meanRom 4.6 with s-on. Will be watching thread for hopeful fix.

I actually unlocked my phone last night 10-17-12 using htcdev (still S-on)... Everything was and still is stock and TB, Adfree and tether tells me I'm not rooted... Was wondering the same thing.

Hit it twice and make it count.
Unlocked does not give you root. It enables you to install a Rom with root access or install superuser. If you are unlocked and have installed a custom Rom with root support, you should already have superuser in the app drawer. Update whatever superuser app you have to the newest, and reboot.
