My Droid Razr was rooted with motofail and I had no problems until the .181 update. My device lost root (which I was expecting) so I attempted to reroot. The problem is, it will not reroot using motofail, Utility, or DooMLord. Superuser is still on my phone, and cannot be uninstalled (as if stock), but does not have root access. Suggestions?

I rooted before and after the update with Motofail with no problems. Strange, it was the same circumstance as you. The update took root away but left SU on th device. Sorry I don't have a suggestion but I wanted to let you know it can be done.

Have you tried updating the summer binaries in the super user app?

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.

I rooted my RAZR using doom lord method which works amazingly well. Attempted the ics leak and some how bricked my phone deleting a bootstrap file which sent me into boot loop. Downloaded the fast boot files and got back to 173. Got the ics leak installed and working and restored root with voodoo no problem. Everything worked fine until yesterday I updated to su elite and lost root access and restore in voodoo doorkeeper is causing force close and it says device isn't rooted. I tried restore through terminal emulator but access denied. How can I achieve root again running pics leak? Fast boot and start all over?

Why did you update the SU? I guess it was running well before?
I remember there's a root method working for ICS in the forums.
Edit: Maybe you can try this if you have GSM-Razr. I don't know if this will work on CDMA version.
Six axis controller wasn't requesting access so I though it was out dated. I tried the ics root method but it kept failing saying everything already exists....unless their is another method. I unrooted with doom unroot then tried the pics root but also failed

Flash your razr again. Wipe data/cache and factory reset then root it again.

Do re flash the 173 fast boot file using adb?

For me it worked to charge in fastboot mode just with normal cable, no factory cable. I just waited until it has been shown „battery ok“

If you want to fastboot back to .181, you have to check updates on su and update the binary before you save root with voodoo.

thank you, I found out I not only forgot to update binary, I forgot to temp unroot.
I might just rsd back to. 181 then root, then update. then set up my phone all cool again.

Got it
Droid Razr - ICS, Root
If you lost root like I did you can just use matts utility version 1.6 and worked for me.

I had tried to use the utility but because I failed to update my superuser binary I guess root didn't hold. I also noticed when selecting the zip file in es file explorer that rom manager had to have su permission, and there didn't seem to be a way to temp unroot right then before the reboot. it all worked out fine though.
Droid Razr - ICS, Root
I went from .181 and jumped to .210 ICS. I used rootkeeper and tried to restore the root. I already had the superuser.apk installed and when i used rootkeeper it said root was restored, but when i use root apps it does not work and the rootkeeper also tells me i do not have root access.
WHAT GIVES?
Sorry I can be more help. Did you uninstall super user and re load? I know there is a manual ADB push method that I used but you would have to use the search.
i tried uninstalling it and it wont let me

Hmmm. It is probably installed as a system app. Maybe you didn't update su binary before root backup? Try temp unroot and root with RAZR utility.

I just lost root access on my XT912. I have been notified of the recent update but have been ignoring it because my phone is flashed for Page Plus. I installed and uninstalled Superuser because SuperSU is installed. Could that have done it?

i had the same problem. I eventually had to use Matt's utility to reinstall stock ROM and root the phone (I did not install SS using Matt's utility). Then I installed SS 3.65 while in stock ROM. Then you can use VooDoo RootKeeper to backup root, then accept the OTA update, and finally use VooDoo RootKeeper to restore root. Worked great for me.

The ROM is stock Android 4.1.2. The flash was just to "fool" Page Plus (a Verizon MVNO) into thinking the Razr is a 3G phone since Page Plus does not allow 4G phones.
