I updated my GSM Razr XT910 to JB of EU version. I did use Voodoo root keeper but still lost the root after backup and restore.
Anyway to gain it back??

some people had that problems too, theres no way to root yet, and you cant go back to ICS, so you will stuck unrooted like me

if ics is coming out soon i need to be prepared,i can't seem to find out if ota rootkeeper will save root on my razr xt912,also if it can save me do i do temp un root or just leave alone.......................i have been following threads that say to temp unroot ,is this just for people wanting ics early
With past OTAs I just used OTA root keeper to backup root, applied the OTA, then restored root through root keeper app. Should work the same way with the ICS update. I've never had to use the temp unroot function.

you'll see the people installing the verizon version of ICS are keeping root with voodoo

update! later reports are that root is not actually there, even though voodoo says root was restored. i would guess the devs are on it right now though. Moto & Verizon are such asshats!
really need to know if i will recieve the OTA if im rooted on a different rom, i am currently rooted and using the iKream rom (2.3.6) (R3DROM.v1.0).....or will i have to restore back to stock ??
you will have to be on completely stock .181

If you use the ota root keeper (2 apps that I know of on play) it will temp unroot your phone then restore root after update.
Short answer, no, as you are right now, just use one if the ota root keeper apps on play store.

WHY do the ota the just wait probably not even a day one of the great devs will have a working build based off the ota soon. you will probably have to wait for the kernel since it does not seem likely moto will release source at the same time.
To get an OTA you need to be stock release.
You can be rooted but you cannot remove any bloat that you could not have removed without root.
So if the Golf game is missing, that is okay. If VZNav is missing, the OTA won't install.
So if you are on any custom ROM, the OTA will fail.
If you don't have the stock recovery, the OTA will fail.
If you have removed bloat, by being rooted, the OTA will fail.
Hey guys, quick question.
I'm rooted on 2.3.6, so I was wondering if Ill have to unroot to see the OTA in settings
Thanks.
No, but you will lose root after you update

You should see it when it comes. Your root will probably go away though. I just flashed all the way back to .171 and did the update to .181 (no root) manually just in case people who are rooted have issues with the OTA then itll be one less thing to worry about it.

I saw somewhere that root was already achieved for the OTA so that's no problem, thank guys.
You should unroot and then use this in order to get root again.
Is there a way to unroot without wiping?
My wife has a stock rooted Razr using motofail. Can she just use OTA Root keeper from the market and then check for updates to get the update? I am not available to do this for her so I need to make it as simple as possible.

install voodoo and temp. unroot, install the update, go into voodoo and restore root.
Also, which Verizon software version enables the Razr to roam voice calls in Europe (Germany). She may not even need to update right away if she already has that capability. I don't care about SIM unlock right now, I'm sure she couldn't figure that out on her own.
I have a rooted Desire X with CW recovery and today I got a notification that 4.1 is available for install. Are there any problems when updating while having a rooted device? Will my root privileges stay? I heard that some devices cannot be rooted after an official update so I just want to be sure.
Apart for not being able to update officialy with rooted device, no

Even if its just the stock rom with root privileges? And if you can't root after JB.. how do you root at all?
for update you need stock everything, I am sure jb can be rooted as easily as ics
i think no
I think you need only to relock bootloader if you are on stock...and rooting jb is easy and there is a guide somewhere in the forum
