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.

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.

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
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
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.

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

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 just picked up a X2 off of CL and it seems to have a partial root (if there is such a thing). It has SuperUser on it but no CWM recovery installed. Where do I go from here? I have tried to do a factory reset and the SU remains there. I would like to get the thing fully rooted with some custom recovery/ROM awesomeness....
There is no such thing. If it has SU then its probably rooted. Look for an app that says system recovery. If you wiped then it probably gone. It needs to be reinstalled. It installs like an APK with options to install recovery and a recovery mode and a charge mode. The recovery can be found in DEV section with any of the rooting guides.

Superuser gets killed if your phone got an over the air (OTA) update from Verizon. Easy to fix, all you need to do is SBF to 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 and use the one click root method to root then install boot strap recovery if you want to install a custom ROM.
Search the development X2 forum for the SBF Tutorial. It will explain step by step instructions.

He speaks the truth. Worked for me
Recommend starting on SBF 2.3.4 and use the OneClickRoot to root it afterwards. Just make sure that after flashing stock 2.3.4 to set the phone from Charge Only to PC Sync and allow debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development) so OneClick can see your phone.
Recommend installing System Recovery afterwards. System Recovery lets you boot into a CWM recovery mode, and of course, flash unsigned .zips (ROMS) Note: Just a heads up, you can't boot into the tweaked System Recovery unless the USB is plugged in the AC outlet or a car charger. I found that... as a minor speed bumping when getting it to work.
If you are unsure how to use the SBF with RSDLite let us know and we will help you run through that.
SBF 2.3.3 then one click root
I would start off with the SBF for 2.3.3 and then the one click root. The leaked version of 2.3.4 has battery issues still as far as I know.
There is an official 2.3.4, not just the "leaked" Soak Test version.

now that you bring that up, let's say the OTA has a few minor fixes. Would the people who SBF'd get the latest version via the OTA?

That is good to know I SBF to the leaked version and then ended up flashing back to 2.3.3. I must of missed the oficcial 2.3.4 sbf. Can you let me know what link that was in? I would like to try the new eclipse at some time soon and would like to have the official sbf and not the leaked version. Thanks for the correction.
Thanks everyone!
Off to SBF something!

Try one more factory reset after you flash. That has happened to me before but goes away after the second factory reset.
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?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
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 can't get it to flash, gives me an error "Failed Flashing Process 1/11 flash cdt.bin "cdt.bin_si..." I had it rooted, uninstalled everything with the root, unrooted, wouldn't let me update to ICS, so I was just going to flash to stock and do it, and now this. I'm starting to panic a little, as I can't even get it to boot. I thought I had the right files, but now I'm not so sure. I have an XT912, it's a Vzw Razr, not the Maxx. I just want to go to stock GB, so I can go up to ICS. I had 2.3.6 update installed. I really need this phone for tomorrow, so any and all help is very much appreciated.
I'm using RSD Lite to flash this buy the way
My fastboot file is called "SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-73_SPU-11-M1-2_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRRTCEE_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml"
Go to droidrzr.com under RAZR cdma and development section. Look for Matt's 1.7 utility and download and run the flash to stock. Make sure Motorola drivers are installed before flashing.
They are in the file when you unzip it.

Okay, thank you. Right now, I'm downloading the VRZ_XT912_6.51-73_DHD-11_TA-3_1FF_02.XML.zip files, to flash with the RSD lite utility. Will this do the same thing, or should I go with Matt's 1.7 utility instead?
Actually, this looks like the tool I used to root. Can I use his new 1.81 utility and just use the ICS Fastboot files, to go straight to ICS?
I have yet to get rsd-lite to fully flash to my phone. Matt's utility does work.
Not sure what gb version you are on, look to the earlier builds of the RAZR utility to install earlier builds.

Yeah, I think I accidentally grabbed the EU version of the files, instead of the US version. Anyhow, I'm just flashing the ICS official files, as that was my goal anyhow. I figure if it doesn't work at this point, it's not like I'm really losing anything by trying. It's good to know that I'm not the only one that the RSD flasher has given issues though.
I installed the official ICS, and now it won't do anything. No screen, holding power does nothing, can't boot to safestrap, nothing. It booted once, had an android guy with some blue shape spinning, a progress bar filled up, and then it restarted. Went to the DUAL CORE TECHNOLOGY screen, then goes to black. Then nothing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I could cry. I figured out that if I hold the vol down and power, it'll restart, but just does the same thing. What am I doing wrong?? I don't understand it at all.

I tried his 1.81 utility, no go. Someone on another site said they'd seen a similar case, and I need to use the 1.6 version, and then follow the update path from there. I'm downloading that right now.
My battery isn't dead yet, but I have no way of charging it (Going into BP Tools from the fastboot menu does me nothing), so it's just a matter of time. I really wish I could just go to bed, but I need this phone for my morning commute, as I'm really not familiar with the area.
