Hello XDA,
I have been all through the forums, searching for the answer to my question before it came to making a post myself, but with no luck.
I need help rooting my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx.
Previously, I have tried the EternityProject with no success. This is where I first ran into the message "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem" when trying to open the SuperSU app.
After that I tried going to Droidrazrroot.com and downloading what they had. Again, same error message.
FINALLY! I stumbled upon DooMLoRD's easy rooting toolkit and saw that it was tested and confirmed for the Droid Razr. Thinking there would be no more problem, I tried again, yet the same error message popped up when trying to access SuperSU.
So now I come to you all, hoping that you can give me a simple, quick fix for all of this. And hopefully an explanation as to why this happened in the first place.
To clear up the basics:
YES - I have checked USB Debugging
YES - I have checked "Allow mock locations"
YES - My device is connected as a media device (MTP)
YES - I have checked "Unknown sources"
... Any help would be greatly appreciated

Your on jellybean. All of the methods you have posted that you have tried are for ICS. You will have to search for the jellybean root exploit.

I tried this with no luck. I get stuck right before root successful.
I also tried this one with another error message. Does anyone know how I can preform a clean wipe? I think I'll try things like that.
Thanks for everyone's help, it turns out the cord I was using was the problem. When I switched to another cord the Razr_Blade Root worked perfectly. Now I am fully rooted!

Hey so sorry if i shouldnt have created a new thread this is my first time posting on any forum site...
Basically i rooted my gt19300 with odin a few months ago and a few weeks ago i downloaded an app which said it didnt have root access. so i went to supersu and it said there is no SU binary installed and supersu cannot install it, this is a problem. I then downloaded superuser and tried there binary downloader thing. which said it couldnt get root access. i then downloaded root checker and it says my phone isnt rooted correctly. It was rooted correctly at one point and clearly ive done something that messed it up.
My question is will it brick my phone to just run the rooting process again with odin or will i have to do an unroot process first. if the second way is the way i need to go how do i reset my custom binary counter as triangle away needs root access.
And also do i need to download a newer version of ODIN or anything like that because ive updated my phone firmware?
THANKS HEAPSSS

Hello XDA!
As the name of this thread implies this is the last resort to rooting my GT-p1010 1st gen Galaxy Tab. It is currently running some version of android 2.3.6. I say some version because a while back my father was successful at achieving root access, then something went wrong. Eventually he got some random ROM on it that has the KERNEL VERSION [email protected]#1 I have no experience with dealing with kernels so I would not know if it is stock or not. I have hwo ever rooted and install and custom recovery and ROM on my kindle fire, so I do have experience with this type of thing.Let me get to the point:
I have tried the newest version of Odin and this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386643. I keep getting "Can't open the serial(COM) port" I also am positive that I have all of the correct drivers install for the use of Odin.
I have also tried a manual root and used both GingerBreak and psneuter with no avail.
I have tried installing Z4root and the GingerBreak.apk file as well.
I have tried each method under numerous circumstances and variables!I have also done some extensive homework on each of the failed attempt I have.
I probably should not be posting this thread here, but I want it to get as much attention as possible. I have been working on and off this for 3 weeks and have decided that it is time to come here. ANY REPLY IS MUCH APPRECIATED!
I have I9300 which I have just upgraded to 4.3 JellyBean,
now I want to restore my backup but I have to root my phone in order to run the backup app.
I have tried 3 different tutorials but none of them worked for me, after I go to download mode and run the md5 or whatever on PDA and press start it says pass and my phone restarts but nothing happens and I get no root.
Please help?

Solved the problem., all I had to do is download supersu app from play store
Sounds like you aren't reading or following the instructions, you are very vague about doing something that can brick your phone.
Go search and read about CF auto root, follow the instructions exactly.

Thanks for the response, I read the CF autoroot instructions... the problem was the simple fact that I don't have SuperSU app so I downloaded it and it fixed everything.
Wish it had fixed mine! Have rooted via Chainfire but although it looks like it worked it hasnt. Super Su is saying there is no SU binary installed and I need to manually re-root. Have done that but its not working. Any help?

I am returning to 4.2.1 for now as it seems this update is being pulled.
Greetings:
I own a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2 S. I rooted it and used TWRP which is running along with superuser and busy box. Still the stock ROM though and I am happy with it that way.
The latest OTA update was pushed out and every 5 days the device asks me to update or defer. I have tried updating several times but it always begins the process then TWRP opens after going through the opening screens and it says the update failed.
I did some reading and learned that if I accept this update I will lose Foxfi, which I use heavily. (I work for a school system that does not let us use the wireless, so I use my device as my hotspot.
Can anyone help me? I would either : a. like to accept the update while keeping the root and Fox Fi. Or b. Stop the update notices. (It's also weird because I was asked to set up a lock screen password and can't figure out how that happened. I'd like to remove it too since it's such a huge pain in the butt.
Is there any way to use TWRP to take the OTA update and still keep root and Fox Fi capability?

Thanks
I must say that this is so far not possible....You can try 4.3 rom released by beans.... It's the same except the knox and locked bootloader.

If I was you, I would not accept the update. I would install the newest TWRP from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045829
Then I would make a back up of your current ROM. Then download a 4.3 ROM from here, (If you want the purest stock it would be Beans Rom that he posted, stock, rooted, no knox stuff). Also, download the Wifi/Modem MJ9 package he posted. Wipe clean x3, then install his 4.3 ROM, then boot to make sure it works, reboot into download mode, Open Odin 3.07, check the PDA box, the select file to place into PDA box (MJ9radio.tar), hit go, wait for it to finish and say pass. The wipe clean again x3, then boot into rom and your baseband for say MJ9 and Build Number should say 4.3. To make sure the MJ9 modem was accepted, you will have service and WIfi will work. If not you will see "Unknown Baseband"

To stop the OTA updater you need to rename or delete the following two files under /system/app and then reboot phone.
FWupgrade.apk to FWupgrade.bak
SDM.apk to SDM.bak
I rooted my phone a few months ago and everything was fine. But recently I was prompted to install to 5.0 Lollipop update. I tried and it failed. After some googling I thought it was the fact that I'm rooted. So I unrooted it and now no matter what I do with ODIN it fails.
I've tried:
Changing my kernel. I tried two different kernels, both failed.
Installing Lollipop through 3 different methods. They all failed. (The OTA update, using ODIN, and through recovery mode using my SD card)
Basically ODIN always fails, and any other one-click root method fails as well. (Towelroot, Kingo App, MobileGo Wondershare)
Backstory: The only thing I can think of causing this much trouble is the fact that when I rooted my phone I had to use an old kernel. Everything was failing so I had to roll back my kernel in order to root. I did that. And then my WiFi stopped working. So I changed my kernel back to the original one. I don't know if this would do anything but figured it was worth mentioning.
The goal is to get the 5.0 update installed on my phone. I will settle for just re rooting my phone though.

Any ideas on why I can't install this update?
If your phone was modified in any way ie. rooted, frozen/deleted bloatware, etc., you will not be able to take the OTA - even if you unroot. Since you want 5.0 on your phone, I suggest this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i545oc1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3096558 . This way, you get a rooted 5.0 system with the option of going back to Kitkat.
OP that sucks, I had this same problem but I fixed it by flashing the ROM in this forum using Odin on my computer :http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ment/rom-i545oc1-5-0-1-100-stock-mdk-t3097902
There are some things that don't work right though

Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm trying that but every time I click a download like I got a 'page not found'. Any other way to get this flash fire app?
I know in the directions it says to flash fire, but if the download link doesn't work or something you can just use Odin on you computer to flash it.
That's what I did because it didn't even work when I tried to use flash fire on my phone.
