I used Petes root tools and ota rootkeeper to update using ota but once I have the update installed my wifi no longer turns on at all it's always just error. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I downloaded and installed the new update and now my wireless tether is not working. Did it indoor my phone? Thanks
Yes, it will unroot your razr. It did it to mine, but I installed voodoo before I updated so I could easily restore my root.
I checked and saw an OTA update for my Atrix (4.5.141) [mine currently 4.5.91 ; 2.3.4]
I downloaded and install but it appeared a < ! > in process then it restart itself and says update failed.
I think this problem caused by Root.(Is there any way to unroot my phone ?)
Be sure to undo anything you did that requires root access (defrost apps, etc)
For unrooting, it depends how you rooted your phone.
1) if you used the one click method, there's an unroot button
2) if you used the fastboot preinstall method, delete the su related files:

It may be as simple as only removing su from /system/bin and uninstalling superuser.apk, but doing a full unroot is the safest way IMO.
I just updated today. ATT 2.3.4 with locked Bootloader, rooted with the one click method. When I went to use the one click method to unroot I received an error message saying that I didn't have the proper back up files.
After much searching on-line, I installed OTA RootKeeper and ran it to make my Atrix look like it hadn't been rooted. After the update I ran OTA RootKeeper again to restore root.
I've restarted my phone 3 or 4 times in the last 4 hours and so far all is well!

OTA Rootkeeper is good only if you used a root method that uses the zergrush exploit. Most of the one click methods use it. I however, used a method that edited build.prop. I used OTA Rootkeeper, updated, and it failed to properly restore root. Others that used a root tool that uses zergrush had no problem restoring with OTA Rootkeeper.
Hi,
I rooted my Asus Prime after the ICS update and I'm now being prompted for a new OTA update but it fails every time it tries to install.
I'm currently running Android 4.0.3; build #9.4.2.15-20120221. I can't figure out what version it's trying to update to.
Will I have to unroot in order to update? I tried the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and the temp. unroot but it still fails.

Had the same problem but screwed mine up slightly.... you need to reinstall .15.. IMPORTANT apply root keeper... (I didn't) then update to .21.... download .15 from the asus site... just remember to apply root keeper after it comes back up...now I have to wait with the rest of the people who forgot for a new exploit.....
I can't get it to manually roll back to US_epad-9.4.2.15. The system won't recognize that there's update files on the card.

If you do it properly, it will.
Unzip .15
Unzipped file will be another zip
Put that zip on the root of storage
Reboot

I've been enjoying root access on my Motorola XT910 on version 2.3.6 and was able to update to other Gingerbread updates. Apparently, doing OTA updates on my RAZR results with me losing my superuser access on my phone but I was able to restore it twice using "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper" app. However, just today, I updated to ICS and as usual, I lost root access. I tried restoring it using Voodoo but I could no longer run applications requiring superuser access this time.
Can someone help me so I can have root access on my device again? Should I re-root my device and will the old rooting method for Gingerbread work fine with a Motorola XT910 running on ICS?

That's kinda weird when I updated to ICS I was able to use voodoo to recover my root no problem. The newer versions of superuser have the ability to restore root access (like voodoo) you may want to see if that worked otherwise check out motofail's rooting for ics

Does anyone have an exploit that doesn't require a PC? I have a Mac mini and a laptop running Linux. Any help would be appreciated.
Check Easy Root tools

Some of the easy root tools in the development section work on linux and PC.
Check for the threads entitled "[Tool]"...a lot of them are very easy to use.
Will OTA rootkeeper work with the I605VRAMC3 update or will I lose root and need to use another root method? Currently on Stock ROM with locked bootloader, rooted only.
To answer my own question, I just updated and root was successfully restored using OTA rootkeeper.
Thanks for sharing this info. Glad you were able to figure it out.

What rooting program are you using??? I've updated my phone and ready to root however I'm getting an error when trying to use No You Verizon Casual R478.
My phone was already rooted before updating, I used OTA rootkeeper to temporarily disable root before updating then restored root using the app. I originally rooted by flashing the root-injected firmware. When I bought the phone it was already on VRALL4, I flashed the root-injected VRALJB image then used OTA rootkeeper to disable root and updatedback to VRALL4. OTA rootkeeper work for the VRAMC3 update as well.
