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..

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 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.

What firmware? Updating to .621 will probably fix your wifi issues. This was one of tha main fixes with that update.
Make sure to install ota rootkeeper and follow instructions, if you are rooted.

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?

Fact : Reverting back to stock via RSD will resolve this issue. Enjoy, Have Fun, Don't Worry About This

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)

Hello guys,
I got my n10 today, rooted using marks toolkit.
Now the notification says "system update downloaded" and press to restart and install...
Is there an update or is my tablet trying to restore the original bootloader, and will updating unroot my phone?
Thanks,
Mark.

The OTA is normal. It has nothing to do with root.
I'm not sure if you'll lose root. I don't remember the order of what I did. If you lose it, just re-root. Or you can download Voodoo OTA Root Keeper, which has worked for me in the past.

Yes, you will lose root but you will remain unlocked... in fact, it is a good idea to unroot before installing OTA updates... being a Nexus device, this can easily be re-rooted....
Thank you guys!
I will do it then... Cheers, Mark

hello i have the razr m. unlocked not rooted and it is not letting me take the update. i dont undertand why.. has anyone had this same problem? thank you
Install superSU from the app store and see if you still get root access from apps.
It used to happen to me. Apparently the phone was rooted it just didn't have superSU installed.

i tried it still nothing.. it says i have superuser already.. is this the reson i cant do verizon update?
I'm also having issues with the ota update. I'm rooted on 98.18.78 with locked boot loader. It fails about 30% then dead andy. I'm guessing the recovery is broken somehow. But I don't know how to flash the stock recovery if my bootloader is locked.

That's what I'm thinking to. It has a bad recovery. I tried using the old version of the RAZR m utility. But that didn't help at all :/
