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.

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
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
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
I just recently rooted and I have obtained s off successfully. But I can't seem to get the root priv to stick. I would appreciate any help I can get.
Thank you for reading.

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.

I seem to have lost root out of the blue. I hadn't done any updates, and I'm not sure how I lost it at all. ClockWork Mod loads fine, but I have no busybox or root access. Was there a firmware update released within the last week?
What rom are you running?

Running totally stock with the most recent (To my knowledge) OTA. I did an SBF about 2 months ago and rooted after that. When I looked in superuser, the last entry of an allowed program was for the 23 of October. I dont know what happened between then and now, but I had lost root.
Since posting, I did a re-root using the Droid3 root. It obviously took care of it, but I'm still quite clueless as to why this happened.

I believe your phone automatically installed the most recent OTA in that time, causing you to lose root.

If you were rooted and then updated, the su app would remain but root would not. You need to remove the su app before being able to use the one click root.
If you restart and sbf, update before rooting.

That's the thing. To my knowledge it hadn't updated at all. Unless it updated without me knowing...

It quite possibly might have. The latest SBF file is .602 and the latest OTA is .605.
What system version are you running?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
It must have then. I'm running. 605. Never even knew.

same thing happened to me. the only thing i did was uninstall the SU file then re-root with the D3 one-click. has worked just fine since 10/22.
I have a droid 2 non global. I had all ota updates and now i cant root my phone. I have tried everything, even the droid 3 root and nothing. Anyone else having this issue since the latest update? I am stuck and need this bloatware gone. And i want a good ROM. Please help..
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
If you installed the most recent update without using Voodoo RootKeeper to back up your root, you're up the creek without a paddle because the newest update breaks root and changes the bootloader so you can't SBF.

Thanks. That explains it!

I hope you're not doing it for some kind of warranty reason, because if so you're hosed. Razr M has a root checker. When you get into recovery, you will notice a yellow "qe 0/1" or something like this. It will say "0/1" if the device has been rooted before but isn't now, "1/1" if the device is currently rooted, and "0/0" if the device has never been rooted.
It is impossible to make it say "0/0" after root, so even if you unroot it (trivial, just fastboot back to stock) it will always say that you have rooted it at one point in time, which voids your warranty (and your TOS, depending). Rooting this phone means taking it into your own hands.
Bastards!
What about for replacement devices after the warranty is over? Like if you get the insurance on the phone, does rooting void that too?

Don't quote me on this, and YMMV but the Verizon (Asurion) insurance covered my rooted d2g a few months ago... it should cover the M as well

So fast boot back to stock will reset the root checker counter?

Would anyone mind linking a verification on this issue? Thinking of getting a RAZR M myself and being able to get abck to stock with a "qe 0/0" in case of a hardware malfunction would be something I would want.
I'm also looking at root and custom roms, and interested in this.
actually in the supersu app ther is an option that says full unroot it is in the settings under clean up and it says full unroot
Can I only unroot my Razr M back to STOCK ICS??? How would I unroot and get JellyBean back? Or can I not get it back?
Btw I prefer the notification bar on ICS versus the new JB one....

Well, the issue is not unrooting; its that Motorola has a root checker in the recovery menu that says whether the phone is rooted, not rooted, or not rooted but was rooted in the past. That last one is the concern....

I had a crazy counter read that was 2:1. I unrooted, flashed to ICS, factory ota to JB and it read 0. That phone is long gone. Had to reflash JB last week on my replacement and now I'm steady at 1:1. So, my guess is you can't. You could on the OG RAZR I believe, but not this updated system. My first M had that reading before the root exploit was available. (2:1)
