I tried to google search this but found nothing. My phone is ROM'ed atm but their hasent been a update for it in a few months. So i want to put a more updated ROM and also because every 12 hours my phone ask me to upgrade to gingerbread. Now the question is in order to add a new ROM can i just install it over the old ROM or do i need to uninstall it. If i need to uninstall it how do i do so? just wipe the phone? Also sorry if this is in the wrong spot cant ask this question in the developer part.
Sbf to 2.3.3 if you want to get anothr rom. Dont ota for an update

So your saying just install gingerbread, root the phone again and then rom it? So its safe to just install gingerbread without wiping the phone? I have no idea what sbf or ota means so im kinda lost.

Look up the sbf article in the sticky, follow it, root, install bootstrap, flash now rom. Its that simple.

Oh sweet thanks ill try this out when i get out of class tonight.
ok so i installed rsd lite and got my phone to stock gingerbread. I rooted with 'MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4 and that was ok. I installed bootstrap and when i click install recovery it says Install Failure /data/data/com.tenfar,a4.recovery/files/surunner.sh (Permission denied). What does this mean? I know im rooted since titanium backup is working and superuser is asking permission for stuff.

Go into the superuser app and forget the settings for the bootstrap.

I do not think that you are rooted then. Do you have adb installed? If not, I would just rerun the exploit again.

great i redid oneclick root and now i dont have root on my phone. Im going back to froyo and downloading gingerbread and then trying to root that somehow. This is very annoying.
Why go back to froyo? Just SBF gingerbread 2.3.3 and one-click root it.

Why don't you just get p3droids pr-rooted GB update.zip?
Much simpler.

You don't use RSD, its not a SBF, you download it to your phone, rename it to "update.zip", go into recovery and select "Apply SDCARD:update.zip" or "Apply SDINTERNAL:update.zip" depending on where you saved it. Then you select reboot, and your done!

It wont right now. I think Nitro tweeted earlier facebook sync is working on the new 2.3.4 build.
I think u may be able to just use the facebook app from the market to do that also...not sure...I didn't want my facebook contact in my contact so I haven't tried.
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?....

Hi
I checked my razr in the morning and there was an update available. So I clicked yes. The phone rebooted with no error. But now when I open titanium backup it says that I need root access. Did updating my phone get rid of my rooted access? I opened superuser and there was no message saying I need root access. Should I reroot my phone? If I do should I unroot first and root it again?
Yep, updates will usually break root access. You can re-root with the new motofail exploit. In future, check out an app called OTA Rootkeeper to save you the trouble.

Any luck yet?
Same thing happen to me. Just got the Razr Maxx yesterday and rooted as soon as I got home. Woke up, phone updated and broke root. Tried re-rooting but not successful. Guess I need another root tool. Let me know if you have any luck.
Thanks my dude.

Hi, I have a xt912 Droid RAZR Maxx using 4.0.4 ICS and I used the root method that was provided here. I then went root app crazy and also installed the superuser.apk file with the Elite. I went and got clockwork mod touch installed after that, and when I did, the phone would say something like "system is upgrading" and after a while the custom front screen wouldn't work anymore and I lost root access. I since then did a FDR and everything except superuser left. I tried recovering the backup using recovery in fast boot, but it isn't showing as a choice from CWM. I used root checker and it says my phone is not rooted yet I can't uninstall the app only disable it. How do I take it off so I may re-root this phone later? I also used a backup from Titanium pro+root and it won't let me recover from that. Any help would be appreciated.

I took the OTA from last week and rooted it. Yesterday, it seems I've lost root possibly. When I open Titanium Backup, I get the message "sorry, I could not acquire root priveleges...........this attempt was made using the " /system/xbin/su" command". So, what's going on?

Some programs that you install are not KK friendly, it has happened to me a couple times, did you do a backup, if so, flash it, if not, just Odin the root tar again.

I believe I still have root (Adaway and Root Explorer apps still work), but all of a sudden, TB isn't working.
Well, I found a thread about adding a line to a particular .xml file for writing to sdcard........rebooted and TB is working fine.
Also sometimes this happens depending what recovery you are using when you wipe everything. You can boot into your recovery and hit reroot and usually this will fix it also.
That's good to know, thanks.
