[Q] Root/Superuser Problem Jelly Bean - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi,
I updated my XT910 to 982.124.14 jelly bean. I protected the root with Voodoo and after the update completed i restored root. Now superuser behaves like my phone isn't rooted(in voodoo says it is).I've tried to update the SU biniares and it fails in gaining root access. I can't even get root permissions to any of my apps. Any solutions?
Thank you

Did you have rebooted after you restore root?

Yes. Strange thing is that only voodoo recognises root. Everything else seems to believe the phone is unrooted. I've tried the terminal and when i press the order su it says permission denied. I've tried superuser update fix and it doesn't seem to find a problem.

I presume that you didn't update the binaries after performing a clean ics install via rsd lite and before installing jb.
I made the exact mistake with my razr and i still remain unrooted....
I believe there isn't a solution to this problem.

Welcome to the world of non rooted RAZR lolz
Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways

Install TIBU it'll fix any root problem (most likely)
Let me know if worked.

Question about ROM's

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.

Go into the superuser app and forget the settings for the bootstrap.

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

great i redid oneclick root and now i dont have root on my phone. Im going back to froyo and downloading gingerbread and then trying to root that somehow. This is very annoying.
Why go back to froyo? Just SBF gingerbread 2.3.3 and one-click root it.

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.

Having root issues has this happened to anyone?

I rooted my RAZR using doom lord method which works amazingly well. Attempted the ics leak and some how bricked my phone deleting a bootstrap file which sent me into boot loop. Downloaded the fast boot files and got back to 173. Got the ics leak installed and working and restored root with voodoo no problem. Everything worked fine until yesterday I updated to su elite and lost root access and restore in voodoo doorkeeper is causing force close and it says device isn't rooted. I tried restore through terminal emulator but access denied. How can I achieve root again running pics leak? Fast boot and start all over?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
Why did you update the SU? I guess it was running well before?
I remember there's a root method working for ICS in the forums.
Edit: Maybe you can try this if you have GSM-Razr. I don't know if this will work on CDMA version.
Six axis controller wasn't requesting access so I though it was out dated. I tried the ics root method but it kept failing saying everything already exists....unless their is another method. I unrooted with doom unroot then tried the pics root but also failed

Flash your razr again. Wipe data/cache and factory reset then root it again.

.210 ICS Will not Root HELP

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.

[Q] Returning to stock 4.1.1 JB question

Couple month ago, I used ExynoseAbuse for my own Note2 to gain root and etc and I've had no issues with some custom roms and what not.
Then, I tried to root my wife's Note2, but accidentally disabled the exploit without rooting. I have searched for several days how to enable the exploit so I can gain the root access on her phone, but all the answers I've been getting is to go back to stock 4.1.1
So, I think I'm going to go back to stock 4.1.1 on her phone, but the problem is that there is this stupid little game she wants to keep her progress saved somehow. I think the game requires the log-in every time, so it probably has the game saves in their server, so everything should be okay. But, I do want to make sure that her progress is not wiped out in case my assumption is wrong. Is there anyways to save some of the data files of these game apps, return to stock 4.1.1 and put those files back into the file system?

I guess another question would be if it's not rooted, is there any reason to use ODIN to restore to 4.1.1? If I just do system restore to factory default, would it enable the exploit back?

By disable do you mean you took the ll4 update? Also you can root it by Odining the root 66 image. I believe that doesn't wipe anything anyways.

No, I used the ExynoseAbuse.apk file and diabled the exploit without rooting first (DOH!!)
I guess I will look into that root 66 image method.

Can't you un install the app or delete it's data and reboot. It says it blocks the exploit on boot so that should stop it from doing it on boot. Then reinstall and root

Not getting rooted again!

So I was rooted and I ran a security program just checking viruses and I saw a virus thing called Android exploit root.. So I searched up Android Exploit Root but nothing came up except how to root and other stuff so I just deleted the things that the virus scanner said there were two a system root app and a data file I don't actually know .. but it couldn't be deleted so I installed a system app uninstaller and uninstalled the system app which was called Kinguser and after that I restarted my phone and root was gone I tried to re root but nope it fails I kept on trying but nope.. well I searched up how to unroot and I was supposed to deleted the su file in system/xbin or system/bin but I didn't do that first now I'm stuck... Also I tried to install a stock firmware but I couldn't find any for my phone. My Phone is Galaxy Core Advance! HELP I NEED TO ROOT AGAIN!

Kinguser is the root app hence why you no longer have root. I would suggest flashing something like supersu or even superuser

Not necessarily, if no custom recovery is available you can still root it. You already have had the device rooted once

Like I said I did install it while I had kingroot but deleted after about an hour ago but I think the busybox files are still there in my phone Im not sure still dont have root though
This has worked for me before. Just run the King user app, don't even try to re root it. The app should try to fix itself and *MAY* install your missing files.It has worked for me countless times. Hope it helps.
