I have to return my phone to my work. I'm running 4.1.2 and no themes. I cannot remember which method I used to Root. I've searched but haven't found answer. A link to a thread would be great.
Thanks in advance.

this is what i used last time i had to trade up phones.
Matt's utility will take it back to complete stock via fastboot, but be aware that the RAZR has a built in root checker in the stock recovery. I've found no way to fool it even after fastbooting back to stock. It still knows that it was rooted at some point.

I understand that before the ICS update one should backup the root and then restore. But after lots of pain I have managed the ICS update and now unable to Root. The root methods mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341578 and here http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/1598-restore-root-after-installing-ics-leak/
WONT WORK.
And I am not going back on the way of how to try to restore.
Anyway wherein we can do a FRESH ROOT on a ICS Razr.
Please read our forum rules before opening a new thread.

Have you tried adamoutler's way,?

I had the same problem
I got ICS to work and thought I had also backed up root but found I have not. This worked when followed.

if you could read my post..i've already tried that many times.
Hello. I may be repeating some other threads, but I could not find the answer. Is there a one click or other method to root a CDMA Motorola Droid Razr after update to Jelly Bean 4.1.2? The phone has never been rooted before.
Thanks guys!
+1 I'd like to know too, just in case. My phone is rooted I just want to know if I botch the install I can still get root.

Not yet.
I hope they find a root method soon. I bricked mine on the leak, and had to reinstall it, losing root in the process. You never realize how great root is until its gone lol.

Yeah, I lost root access when I did a manual flash update via the SD card and the leaked image...and the root method mentioned on androidgadgetmatic (I would post link but im a new member) is not working in any way...If there is any help anywhere that would be awesome....I kinda need root to live...

Lol, I feel the same way. Don't worry, I'm sure one of the awesome devs on this side will figure something out. They usually do, lol.

There is a fix for those who were rooted and lost root during the update....
It is in this thread somewhere (sorry I don't have time to find it) You had to heve Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to start out with for the utility to work.
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...original-verizon-droid-razr-how-to-keep-root/
I'll keep browsing through what is or isn't compatible. Perhaps one of our amazing Dev's is already on this. Can't imagine it will be long
sicne you cant flash back to ics no, i voodoo'ed before i came over to JB and when when i checked root on JB with rootchecker from the app store it said it wasn't rooted, but titanium back up and other rooted apps said that the device was rooted properly. i ment to test it some more and make sure i was really rooted

If you backed up root with voodoo and went to jb then use matt's root fixer to get root working properly again

I am in need of the same answer. Thanks for asking it.
If you were not rooted before updating to JB then there is no way (yet) to root JB.
I have to ask... Why would someone who was not rooted suddenly decide they needed root after updating? I can understand if you lost root due to being one of the ones that did get the OTA but why all of a sudden decide you need root.
Thread moved. Please post all questions here in Q&A in future.
Thanks

I am in the same boat as the OP so I will provide my reasoning for wanting root now.
This new stock JB load now forces a check against your verizon account when you attempt to turn on any form of tethering. This includes the builtin wireless hotspot AND unfortunately FoxFi wifi/bluetooth. So as of right now I went from an excellent mobile internet connection to share with my Asus TF700 tablet to now having no internet sharing capability.
Grrrrrrrrr......
I followed the thread's instructions above by using voodoo rootkeeper. (droidrzr - Matt's post: New JB update how to keep root)
When you are following Matt's instructions, DO NOT FORGET to update SU binaries. Do this before you protect root, then use voodoo to protect root, temp unroot. Then Protect root, then temp unroot AGAIN. Finally, PROTECT ROOT before you actually flash the update.
Worked for me like a charm. Now im trying to make a JB-leak rom

Unfortunately I got the true ota and thought it was an ICS update. So I didn't see the thread about the binaries so lost root and pulling my hair out till new root method comes out or I save enough for an S3 which ever comes first

same happened to me. Heard some of the devs are working though
Don't expect a quick solution for this from djrbliss...it is not likely to be coming soon.
Nobody else of his caliber is working on root exploits for Motorola devices unfortunately, and very few people understand the value and uniqueness of his contribution to the Motorola community.
He has rooted every Motorola device since the D3 and everyone who has used a rooted Motorola owes him a huge debt of gratitude.
Just sayin'...
I too lost root after my Jelly Bean update. Unless there is a better thread to keep my eye on, I'll keep my eye on this one for a rooting method for my RAZR XT912. If I hear of anything somewhere else, I'll come back here and let people know. I hope others will do the same.

First i would like to say i don't have this phone. But i was wondering if a sbf file could be put together like the one that is used to downgrade the D3. I don't know if this could be done from JB>ICS or not but i thought it might be worth a look. Droid 3 downgrade sbf

I assume you are now on ICS.
Try ExynosAbuse, it's one-click.

No I didn't update it I believe it still to be gingerbread. Wasn't sure whether it would brick my phone, updating it whilst rooted.
This guide might help you. It has a separate section for Gingerbread.

Sorry, I thought you wanted to ROOT. My bad.
If you update via OTA/Kies you'll get unrooted. In case you don't wanna "touch" your device in anyway.

I uupdated my phone using Kies and it didn't unroot it. What can I do? I Still have superuser etc.
Flash a stock rom. There's CWM flashable versions floating around here somewhere (look in General/search), or you can get Odin flashable ones from the usual places (Samfirmware, AndroidFirmwares.net). Ordinary stock kernel in rom package will overwrite your rooted kernel.

I'm not sure how to flash roms. Reason I want to unroot it is because I want to send it back to samsung. Do you think resetting it to factory settings would work?
Hello everyone,
I recently rooted my S4 using the method described on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798. I'm curious if anyone knows how to make the phone completely unrooted and restored to factory default (so that I could return it to the store if I wanted to). I've looked through this forum for answers but I can only seem to find unrooting guides for people who have used different rooting methods. If you know of a way to do this I'd really appreciate any information you can pass along.
Search for no wipe factory restore.... It can be found in official Roms list

I did it before. You need to flash the Verizon stock firmware in odin like you did to get root. It brings it right back to the way it was when you bought it. I didnt try the no wipe method, but its probably done the same way.

It's pretty easy. Follow the directions. If you want help PM me. Welcome to the boards also.
Thanks!
Thanks for the replies! This is my first jump into the rooting process and the info on this site is invaluable.
Want an easier way to fully unroot, grab goo manager and install it, then install twrp, go back into goo manager after it reboots, and there is a FULLY UNROOT feature, select that and reboot, whola, unrooted, fast and simple.

Hey there XDA I am currently running CM 10 and I need to bring my VZW GNote 2 back into the store to do a trade in but I don't know how to get stock android back on to my phone. I tried to find a flashable zip through google but i couldn't find one and I also don't know how to use ODIN so if anybody could please give me a tutorial or point me to one I would greatly appreciate it! I also don't know of a way to unroot my phone.
Thanks!

If you want to unroot and restore to stock, using ODIN is a good way to do this. Droidstyle has put together a really helpful guide on how to return your phone to Stock. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207 Don't forget to give him some thanks.
In Droidstyle's guide... if you go to Section 1b: How to return to stock 4.X Jelly Bean coming from any rom with Odin , and then follow steps 1-7 under that section, you should be able to unroot the phone and restore it to stock. You may want to restore to the firmware for "Official VRAMC3 4.1.2 5/5/13." This way. if you decided to not swap the phone for some reason... then you could still root it/unlock bootloader with Casual... and then easily reinstall whatever Custom Rom you want to use for it. (If you restore to Stock VRUEMJ9 4.3, then you will end up locking the bootloader.... but if you are definitely swapping it out, then that may be the way to go).
If you want to get a more detailed guide on ODIN, here's a link to another forum that should be helpful... http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...ide-samsung-how-flash-stock-rom-via-odin.html **(This is only a general guide for learning more about Odin... so stick with Droidguide's tutorial when you actually do the Stock Restore process).
Also... I found a Youtube video that should be helpful for visual reference -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qtbEevn1VA. (Again... this is just for reference... so I would stick with getting your download files from Droidstyle's guide and following Droidstyle's restore instructions).
I hope this is helpful. Good luck with returning the phone to stock.
