Just went back to this phone while i'm getting my other repaired and it was recently updated to the latest update. I'm just curious if it's possible to root and install safestrap on the latest CDMA version?
It should me possible. It was only a small update to fix problems when roaming...I think. It's not like we went above and beyond jellybean. I didn't lose root when I updated and I didn't see any message about root being restored after the update. Try it and see

I've rooted my razr but I accidentally did a system update and now it seems I've lost my root. Superuser and bionic bootstrapper is still there. I've check using root checker my busybox is install OK but not my root. I've try rerooting using doomlords ver. 1-4 but still unable to get root back. Please Help. Mine is XT910 Asia version. Thanks for any help given.

If you can't reroot, you'll have to downgrade again and become familiar with an excellent little app called OTA Rootkeeper.

If u're on 65.1.21.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03 there's no way to root for now. U should go back to 65.1.12.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03. I'm not try yet, but you can see here how it goes:

OTA Rootkeeper works exactly as the name implies, it 'keeps' root during OTA updates. You can't root most recent RAZR OTAs directly, you have to downgrade, root again, preserve root with OTA Rootkeeper, and upgrade back to the latest OTA.
So, yes and no.
When the next OTA does come out. #1, can I install it on my rooted device? #2 if I can, will I loose root?
Im currently rooted and on stock rom.
Thanks in advance for the information!
You can accept the OTA update if you haven't messed around with your phone too much, but I'm pretty sure you will lose root(haven't tried yet). If you are on a custom rom , you should not take the update.

You WILL lose root if you don't use ota root keeper and back it up before accepting the ota. You must also be on your stock ROM, no custom recovery installed, and be on .211 (CDMA) to get the ota

I rooted my XT912 (JB 4.1.2) using Razr Blade. A few weeks later I had it flashed to work on PagePlus. The flash process did not affect root. Some time after that, with no changes other than installing a few apps, I lost root. Rerooted and now fine again but curious what could have caused loss of root.

Just curious did you try to update the superuser binaries first before re-rooting?
I'm running a verizon gs4. I was previously rooted and running hyperdrive. After the last update I lost root. I have tried to re-root
using odin and motochopper. When I run the root exploit it fails because it says su is already installed. Pretty lost at this point.
I've searched the forums and google to no avail. Anyone have some direction I could take? I am able to access cwm and still flash
hyperdrive but cannot get root back

If you have cwm just flash this http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip. If you are on hyperdrive but have lost root that should fix you right up.

I'm also curious how you're on a Verizon s4 that you updated and were still able to have CWM. You'd have to be on maybe an international S4 ,,TMobile.. Sprint... To name a few for this to be possible.

When he said update, he meant that he flashed hyperdrives update

I've just bought a brand-new HTC One Max (international model, unlocked) and it seems that there is no Android 4.4.2 update, it just says that current version - 4.3 - is the newest version.
How do I update my phone without voiding warranty?
After few hours of constantly checking the software updates, voila, it finally caught the update.
Delete the thread please.
I have same problem
My one max still on 4.3
It tell me that is the latest update
But i wanna know somthing
My phone is rooted on stock 4.3
Did the root prevent or block the OTA update ?
