Which method did you use?
I got my phone a few days ago (G2), followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160 - had no problems with keeping root when I had stock rom, and running CM 7 nightly, still no issues.
If you can't keep root, sounds like you don't have perm root.

I used the original method posted by unforgiven.
I already have s off. But when I run temp root again it doesn't stick.

Being sent a refurb again

My question is that if it comes with all the current updates can I root it by using the PBIMG and fastboot the rooted recovery image?
Yes. As far as I am aware any Eris is rootable using the universal method.

yeah it should still be possible
Thanks a bunch for the quick reply.
Take it easy and remember if its that easy take it twice
I got a refurb last week and the flashboot method don't work you'll have to use the new method

No, you will not be able to root using the PBIMG root ROM method. You will have to use the universal root method for HBOOT 1.49.

You will have to do the new method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724741 I got my phone just about a month ago and I had to use this method. But it still roots you and thats the goal here

Visionary on stock 2.3.4

Hey guys,
Would running temp root through Visionary on my G2 with stock 2.3.4 do anything? I'm trying to find an easy root. I'm aware perm root bricks but what about temp root? Would it also brick or do anything at all?

There's nothing good to come from running visionary. On any phone.
If you want root, you can follow the downgrade, root, and flash pre-rooted 2.3 procedure.
That's your best bet visionary used to work but it was iffy at best go gfree to root its much safer

Visionary won't work with stock 2.3.4. I only know because I forgot to disable Visionary for 2.2, then upgraded to 2.3.4 and it (a) didn't do anything, (b) hogged the cpu.
Everything is fine now. It was just took a while. phew
Same thing happened here. Phone was slow and choppy until I uninstalled visionary.
Visionary is the devil. Don't use it or even mention the word to anyone you care about.

4.1.1 root method not working

I'm trying to root the Verizon RAZR M via the motofail2go method but it isn't working. The bat file installed superuser as a system app but I do not have root. Does anyone know of any alternative method to get this thing rooted? I just want to be able to use all my favorite apps on this thing.

Love the 90s Good Times.
The way I rooted was to install the oudhs recovery and flash the super user flew in the same post. Recovery asked to fix the auto stock recover reinstall fix. Allowed it and I was rooted.

Update then root or you'll run in to issues.

Agreed. And be sure to read the root guide very carefully as there are some nuances with rooting and flashing custom recoveries right now.

If you are running a custom ROM then you are good to go already. Malladus includes the update. The issue comes from taking the update after rooting, or especially after flashing a custom recovery.

Several reports say taking the update after root/recovery causes a recovery bootloop....but not taking it shouldn't affect your current rom.
