I've rooted my razr but I accidentally did a system update and now it seems I've lost my root. Superuser and bionic bootstrapper is still there. I've check using root checker my busybox is install OK but not my root. I've try rerooting using doomlords ver. 1-4 but still unable to get root back. Please Help. Mine is XT910 Asia version. Thanks for any help given.

If you can't reroot, you'll have to downgrade again and become familiar with an excellent little app called OTA Rootkeeper.

If u're on 65.1.21.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03 there's no way to root for now. U should go back to 65.1.12.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03. I'm not try yet, but you can see here how it goes:

Is it possible to get my root again using ota rootkeeper?

OTA Rootkeeper works exactly as the name implies, it 'keeps' root during OTA updates. You can't root most recent RAZR OTAs directly, you have to downgrade, root again, preserve root with OTA Rootkeeper, and upgrade back to the latest OTA.
So, yes and no.
Just updated to 6.12.173 Android 2.3.6, like a dumb ass and superuser is still on my phone, I have uninstalled it but it is still showing up in Applacations -> Manage Applications -> All, but no where else except in in /system/app when useing root explorer but i can't delete it as i have no ROOT access. My question is can i re-root useing Motofail if superuser is still on my phone? And second dose anyone know of a way to get superuser off of my phone? i did a factory reset and that didn't work, hell the custome boot anamation i made is still on my phone. Should i try another factory reset?
Sorry for the bold words just wanting to make my self as clear as i can.
Yes, you can reroot, and you'll have to to remove the superuser app from the system partition.

OK cool I was just nervous about using motofail since I hadn't read that a lot of people had tried it. Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm gonna try and I'll let you know how it goes. If it doesn't work we may end up having to wait for ICS to see if that will take care of the problem. I hope that's not the case thou.

Well I used motofail and I'm rooted again. I would try running it again.

Had the same issue and ended up doing a full wipe and reinstalled 2.3.6 after restoring with Matt's utility.
Finally fixed!

Cool I'm glad you got it fixed! I know that before the next update I'm going to uninstall superuser and/or unroot before updating. On a second note do we know when ICS official release will hit the RAZR?

From stock .173 if rooted ota will come in no problem and if I do temp unroot with voodoo , then after update I will have root available too restore through voodoo

.... lol ....
Ok ok I apologize, I'm just super paranoid and want the ics update to go smoothly but want to retain my root and since no one had had the official ota yet want to make sure it will take and some strange root related file won't spoil my ice cream sandwich dreams, and I've been enjoying rooting and claiming and tweaking since my Eris days apologize for sounding like a noob , I'm just a paranoid veteran

You got. Just don't install a recovery and before you install any ota, temp un root. Then restore root after. Also unfreeze anything before and do not delete any system apps.
Thanks very much, that's what I thought just like to quadrupole check

So should I uninstall Bootstrap?
Yes to uninstall bootstrap. Separate thought; Motofail root method wouldn't create any ota blockers right no extra steps to take if used that method?

I know that this is a long shot but has anyone been successful rooting the new firmware update for droid 2 version 4.5.621? Had root before update and thought I would have no problems gaining root back after update, how wrong I was! Any help,news would be greatly appreciated.

Just went back to this phone while i'm getting my other repaired and it was recently updated to the latest update. I'm just curious if it's possible to root and install safestrap on the latest CDMA version?
It should me possible. It was only a small update to fix problems when roaming...I think. It's not like we went above and beyond jellybean. I didn't lose root when I updated and I didn't see any message about root being restored after the update. Try it and see
