Root Droid Maxx after update
I am having the same issue. Is there another method to root the Droid Maxx after camera update

You guys FAIL, not the root.

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?

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

Try the CASUAL by AdamOutler. It's here, somewhere in XDA.

I've tried the casual but did not help I think when I indoor its not removing files from previous roor. Also RAZR bootstrap magically keeps installing itself

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

Tried reflashing fast boot files with red lite but battery died on last step and phone wont turn on to charge so now I gotta try to make a cable......

For me it worked to charge in fastboot mode just with normal cable, no factory cable. I just waited until it has been shown „battery ok“

[Q] Issues after .181 Update?

My Droid Razr was rooted with motofail and I had no problems until the .181 update. My device lost root (which I was expecting) so I attempted to reroot. The problem is, it will not reroot using motofail, Utility, or DooMLord. Superuser is still on my phone, and cannot be uninstalled (as if stock), but does not have root access. Suggestions?

I rooted before and after the update with Motofail with no problems. Strange, it was the same circumstance as you. The update took root away but left SU on th device. Sorry I don't have a suggestion but I wanted to let you know it can be done.

If you want to fastboot back to .181, you have to check updates on su and update the binary before you save root with voodoo.

If you lost root like I did you can just use matts utility version 1.6 and worked for me.

I had tried to use the utility but because I failed to update my superuser binary I guess root didn't hold. I also noticed when selecting the zip file in es file explorer that rom manager had to have su permission, and there didn't seem to be a way to temp unroot right then before the reboot. it all worked out fine though.

Motorola razr root

tried both the doom lord and motofail root methods but both of them stopped after "daemon not starting.starting it now" and than on next line "daemon started successful"
I am unable to post links. Look up DROID RAZR utility 1.81 by Mattlgroff. It will help you obtain root plus so much more.

Best Method of Rooting ICS on MAXX?

I rooted my old HTC incredible using a one click method that installed clockwork but I have no clue the best method on MAXX. I would like to root and have nandroid backups. RAZR Bootstrap or ClockWork Boot or Safestrap? I have no idea if I will install new ROMS, but don't most seem to say Safestrap but Clockwork says it works on all? What method did you use? I will be using an old XP machine to install on my MAXX that I recently OTA updated to ICS. I see methods, I just want to know which ones are considered the best before I risk my phone.

Use matts utility. Search for it at droidrzr.com

I recommend installing cwm touch for RAZR afterwards, as Matt's utility does not install a custom recovery.
