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.

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.
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?
