After upgrading to 4.0.4 through kies, I flashed CWM via odin and then flashed a signed SU zip. Have root and everything works great.
:banghead:
Can you direct to a 'signed SU zip' file?
Now we just need a cwm version for those of us who are out of town without a computer.
I will post one as soon as i get back home. 20 mins max

You can use adb.

I was about to ask the same question. What has to be done in adb to unroot? I'm taking mine and the wife's phones in to complain about the call and signal issues, and just wanted to be safe.

You will have to mount rfs and rm busybox and su apk......etc. ill be at the house in a about an hour. I can send a link. But just search xda or Google I know its out there.

Can that be done in the stock recovery, or will I have to flash cwm to run adb?

Was able to unroot with Z4 root. But could not go back to root with that app. Had to flash su..... zip package in cwm recovery as usual to get root back. At least I have reliable and quick unroot. You may have trouble finding Z4 root as it is not on the market any longer. I had a backup copy. Am sure it can be found somewhere.

CWM added photon as supported device. I flashed cwm via app and now my recovery is all blurry. I don't know what's going on with it. Any one else please post ur finds. Can still navigate using volume buttons. If yours is like that just remember the top option is reboot device. It should reboot just fine.

Do you have a Photon or Electrify (not that that should make a difference)? Were you able to reflash the working version you had before?
Sorry I don't have any answers, but this does interest me. Might want to make/move thread to General Q&A or Devolopment as I wouldn't think this is a themeing question (plus you might not get many views in Themeing).

I can confirm that flashing cwm via rom manager makes cwm blurry and skewed, but otherwise operational.

Fix. Reflash cwm zip via rom manager.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Well I'm getting a "Failed to boot 2" error now when I try to boot into recovery.
Reflash 5.0.2.7 in moto-fastboot mode.

I updated to the latest version of CWM on my Photon and all of a sudden my Recovery is blurry running version 5.0.2.7. Has anyone else had these problems? Or found a solution?

Same here blurry recovery after using ROM manager emailed Dev hopefully gets sorted out thats probably what description meant by generic support meaning in other words not fully working yet lol
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I used cmd and flashed .img file from scratch; everything works again. I'm sure a update is probably on the way until then I'll wait. I think jokerax11 is updating cm9 today hopefully to beta keeping.

How do you flash it through rom manager? I'm trying to help my brother out in another state so I can't do it for him. I did mine through fastboot so I haven't messed with rom manager yet.
just have him search xda for cwm 5.0.2.7 its a zip file so he can flash from the app.

Actually ...ummmm. That didn't work once I tried it.

Yeah...just had to reflash the CWM using the fastboot cmd method...I'd really like to try the CWM Touch Recovery once availble..that'd be SIIICK..

Using rom manager app you should be able to get latest cwm which you have already.
I would try out cm10.0 stable

Yes the rooting is the same and the link developweb gave you is the easiest instructions and it is how I rooted my I717r. However....
If after installing Recovery (cwm or twrp) and you reboot into recovery to install superuser you find out you still have stock recovery installed then you need to do an extra step. Depending on how your phone was updated there may be a script installed that restores the stock recovery. So after you install custom recovery remove your battery while it is rebooting. This will prevent the script from reinstalling stock recovery. Then boot into recovery yourself to install superuser.
Info about rooting the Canadian version is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775263
I rooted my I717r with ICS installed. I installed ICS using odin and the script was not on my phone. I believe if your phone was updated via OTA then it got the script. I have no idea if this script is carried over into jellybean or not.
Thanks a lot everyone
