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:

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.

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?

dude be more specific
Its common for OTAs to remove root access. Sometimes root can be preserved using OTA Rootkeeper, but it would have to be installed before installing the OTA. Check in the forums for your phone to see how to root it. Its also possible the OTA patched the root exploit that you used before.

You'd better find the appropriate forum on XDA for the phone and try to revert to a pre-OTA version. How did you verify that you've lost root, have you tried a terminal emulator and SU into root to verify?
More details will probably be most helpful
I have lg marqee, got update from sprint that took away root

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

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 just got a ota offer for .181 and am currently rooted and have apps frozen. I just made a root backup with root keeper. Do I need to UN freeze the apps before I do the ota? Are there any other steps that I need to do before updating?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
Hey,
I'm GSM-User, but I think the steps to install an OTA are the same. So here're my tips for you.
First, save your Root via OTA Rootkeeper (Play Store) an temporary unroot with it. (Works well with the GSM Leak)
After you received the update you can restore your root.
To not go into trouble during the Update I would recommend to unfreeze the Apps. You can freeze them after again
If an CDMA user maybe can confirm that you're free to go :thumbup:

Yes you need to temp unroot and unfreeze your apps before you can update. It will usually fail about half way through if you don't.
Got it thanks guys

I'm looking to unroot a AT&T Razor and I was looking to find the files to it or a easy way to do it. This is for a friend I do not have a Razor. I have a Tbolt and a Samsung S3 and have rooted both of them. I only found one unroot method and it was just for his root method and I'm not sure who/how he rooted his phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Download Supersu
Update the binary
Go into /system/app and delete Superuser.apk
Go to the very right in Super super abs select Permanent Unroot
You're unrooted

Run SuperSU and just press Full Unroot. It'll renove all the root stuff.
If you already have SuperSU installed check if it's updated in play store.

Hi,
I did the the unroot option. Now the superSu was uninstalled. When I run the root checker app to check the root status i got the below message"
root access is not properly configured or was not granted"
Does this mean that my phone is unrooted?
Use root explore(need root permission) delete the Su file from system/bin or system/xbin folder and then delete the superuser apk and reboot
