Guys, need a nudge in right direction.
EDIT: I am running stock ROM
I have a rooted DroidX. Will be getting RAZR MAXX next month and want to sell my DX. So i want to take it back to stock to sell.
I have searched but couldn't find anything close to my situation.
Any ideas would be appreciated or can I just do a factory reset?
Here are the specifics.......
Had DX running .605.
I rooted using this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxks-o2cd7E&feature=plcp
This is the version of the script I used.. I still have the script but there is not an "unroot" option in it.
Code:
echo ***************************************************************************
echo * *
echo * DROID 3 Easy Root script v7 *
echo * *
echo ***************************************************************************
echo *
I can post entire code if needed.
Here is where I am running into my specific problem.
When .621 OTA update was coming down, I installed OTA rootkeeper.
I took the OTA update and was able to retain root and be on .621
Only other mods done were supercharger (which I reversed to stock) and a mod to get wifi hotspot going.
The hotspot mod I did was a complicated one. Downloaded some program from Motorola and went in and edited some values in a database in the phone.
Where can I go to figure out how to reverse this back to stock so I can sell it in good faith?
Unfortunately I was extremely new to all of this when I rooted it and didn't think about going back.
I have a full Titanium Backup of the system after root and before .621 update.
Heck, here is the entire rooting code if it helps.

If that didn't work just sbf back to stock. That will work for sure and gives the buyer the new phone experience

Lol didnt mean to thank you but oh well...
Any ways lol to OP you can factory reset a hundred times and you still won't remove root.
Why remove root anyways you'll sell the phone faster and save someone the hassle of rooting again
As for the regs who don't know that root is... meh. Again won't hurt the phone in any way.
You will have to sbf back to what ever firmware you want. Afaik it's the only way to remove root. I'm not experienced enough for manual removal, and sbf is so simple and hassle free...when done right.
Easy to f-up if not lol.

I just checked ebay completed autions. Rooted phones do sell fast and are selling for more!! Great. Thanks for the tip.
If I do a factory reset, then it will go back to stock except it will leave root?? The main thing I was worried about was with the OTA upgrade.
If all else fails I will sbf with version .621 (afaik you can't go back further once you have .621 OTA) then re-root.
I did the same I had a deal and bought two DROIDX and rooted both then upgraded but kept root same way you did but my brother got a new phone so I went to market and downloaded an app called ginger unroot and bam full unroot. I even downloaded su and a root checker but no root. Hope this helps
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
Instead of SBF'ing I just did a factory reset. And it did in fact keep root.
Thanks guys.
Here's what ya do:
Factory reset
You will still have root.
Inform prospective buyer about rootkeeper.
Instruct them exactly what to do (don't make this part of your auction, just offer the advice after the sale;
make sure they know:
ota update =by by root)
Once buyer sets up their Google act and installs rootkeeper buyr can now ota with out worries of loosing root.
I just sold my dx and did this exact same thing.
Buyer was more than happy.
Hope that helps and glws

I was looking at the code for GladRoot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060) and I had a couple of questions I was hoping someone could answer.
First of all, does anyone have the code for psneuter?
Secondly, if the goal of rooting is to Superuser.apk, why is temporary root access necessary? I've never used adb before this, but isn't the point that developers can easily do things like install applications using it? The superuser apk might grant super user access after it's installed, but before that it's just like any other apk.
I'd appreciate it if someone could answer these questions. Thanks.
Anyone want to help me out? Doesn't seem like too hard of a question...
Id take a look at What is root access on google. It sounds like you have no idea about the basics. There is a ton of info for beginners even on this site. If I misunderstood you I apologize but your question would only leave me to believe you need to learn the basics. Good luck

Gladroot doesn't give temporary root access either unless it changed.

Well I'm definitely a beginner, but not that beginner. I'll show you what I'm talking about:
Code:
rem If we do, since we need to run several commands as root, use psneuter to
rem temporarily root the device.
echo.
echo Obtaining temporary root access...
%~dp0adb push %~dp0bin\psneuter /tmp/psneuter > NUL 2>&1
if not errorlevel 0 set message=Unable to send psneuter. && goto abort
set retval=
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('%~dp0adb.exe shell "/bin/chmod 6755 /tmp/psneuter > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo PASS"') do set retval=%%l
if "%retval%" neq "PASS" set message=Unable to chmod psneuter. && goto abort
set retval=
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('%~dp0adb.exe shell "/tmp/psneuter > /dev/null 2>&1"') do set retval=%%l
if "%retval%" neq "" set message=Unable to execute psneuter. && goto abort
echo.
echo Waiting for root access to kick in...
timeout /t 5 /nobreak > NUL 2>&1
So what I said was correct. GladRoot definitely get's temp root access. After it does that, it changes some settings and installs superuser.apk:
Code:
rem Remount the /system read/write.
echo.
echo Mounting /system as read/write...
%~dp0adb.exe shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system > NUL 2>&1
rem Install sqlite3 for additional system changes required later in the script.
rem This is silent because it shouldn't interfere with anything even if it's
rem not used.
%~dp0adb.exe push %~dp0bin\sqlite3 /system/bin > NUL 2>&1
%~dp0adb.exe shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/sqlite3 > NUL 2>&1
echo.
echo Ready to root.
echo.
pause
rem Let's root!
rem Check for duplicate busybox installation and remove it.
echo.
echo Cleaning up SuperOneClick mess...
%~dp0adb.exe shell "find /system/xbin -type l | xargs rm" > NUL 2>&1
%~dp0adb.exe shell rm /system/xbin/busybox > NUL 2>&1
rem Copy su over and set permissions for use.
echo.
echo Rooting your device ...
%~dp0adb.exe push %~dp0bin\su /system/bin > NUL 2>&1
%~dp0adb.exe shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su > NUL 2>&1
rem Install the Superuser app for allowing other apps root access.
echo.
echo Installing Superuser app...
%~dp0adb.exe install -r %~dp0bin\Superuser.apk > NUL 2>&1
echo.
echo Root complete.
echo.
So again my question is why do you need temp root access to install superuser.apk?
Temp root access is needed because superuser is installed in system/apps in the system partition. Without root a user does not have read write permissions in the system partition. This means a user cannot uninstall apps or install apps with out root permission. Temp access allows a script or person to modify the system partition, in this case it gives apps access to permanent root. The source code for psneuter is here.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Gladroot was and still is my method of root. I wish I could unlock the boot loader with my current 1.8.3 setup I have and not lose anything. If anyone has a solution I would really appreciate it. I like my phone how it is but want to be able to make nand backups basically. I am not huge on CM7 and it doesn't seem like there are many stable roms for the Atrix right now.
You can there should be a pudding for 1.8.3. I remember using it. It wipes data and allows you to unlock the boot loader if you choose. HERE
Just choose the correct sbf to download and then follow instructions in thread.
Using this
I let it run twice, and now it works great... weird.

I tried the same thing you said you did and got nothing. which build version are you on? im on this god forsaken .622 on the r2d2 and nothing will work for root. if anyone has heard any news about accomplishing it please let me know
I Tried it a bunch of times on .621 and could not obtain root.

i doubt it
i doubt you got root on .621/.622
I had it working until the data wipe I did today. Will report back with this attempt here.
No updates available, managed to get wifi tether for root users and ultimate backup to work properly. Trust me, I had it.
It looks like something about having it already rooted originally may help me here. Weird...
Here, have some video proof:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iwcwoa6Vx0
possible
Before i mistakenly downgraded i did have root on the update. But if you wipe completly then you will lose root forever (untill root is found)
When I first got the update, I had my SU and such icons, but it wasn't actually rooted. Ran the script, it's rooted now... weirdness, man.
I hope someone figures this out soon this phone sucks as totally stock.
That's what mine was!
Also, I did a /data wipe, no problems.

Would you mind paying a modicum of attention? Good lord, this isn't even the D2G forum.
Hello everyone...
I have a Motorola RAZR 201M(XT902) in Japan and use Motofail2go to root it.But it doesn't work.
(follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32889627)
I installed Sudoku.apk and push the motofail2go to the device(also su,Superuser.apk,busybox).
when
$ run-as com.motorola.bug2go /data/local/tmp/motofail2go prep2
Here is the error message:
"run-as: exec failed for /data/local/tmp/motofail2go Error: Operation not permitted"
and i try $ run-as com.motorola.bug2go
but error message : "run-as: exec failed"
Anyone help? Thanks...
Sorry buddy. Nothing works. We 201m users are SOL.

I really want this thing rooted. How do one go about figuring out how to root it? I assume because of it's lack of popularity, no one has done it, but I'm willing to do the grunt work if there's some sort of guide or assistance. I changed over to DoCoMo with the GS4 and now have this paperweight that I would want to actually use.
Thanks!

Can confirm if the latest instructions have worked for your 201m?
That your rooted and bootloader unlock.
Thanks a bunch!
Boot loader is unlocked and CWM is installed. Initially I still
Had temp root so I flashed slim beans xt907 rom. It works. I'm unable to test data with it as I don't have a SoftBank sim. Also I still can't connect to the play store.

Thanks for the feedback.
Still awaiting more confirmation with others. It's a step forward though.
I've had my phone for almost a year now. If I cancel my softbank service or run the contract to the end I want an option to root and unlock the bootloader in the future.
could u provide more friendly filehost?
i can't find the download button there
Root! (temp root that is...)
I'm just posting to confirm I've rooted my 201m (xt902).
Props to sbeaber4!
From my limited knowledge since it's temp root if I restart my phone I lose root access...
Next step in the future unlock bootloader.
Peace y'all.
Quick Tip

Found that if I a did restart my phone root was lost but I found a quick fix without going through the whole process again.
Just do these steps
unlock_security_module(temp root)
adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ cd /data/local/tmp/
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ ./unlock_security_module
Just enter those three steps then you're back to temp root
Also you can just to a quick reboot with link2sd or any other app that just reboots the android ui. You don't have to enter commands every time you reboot unless it's a full reboot.

Noob on XDA, and rooted a MT4G in the past wth help from these forums.
Can someone help translate the kanji for rooting the 201M? Will rooting allow you to change the device location and prevent random all Japanese pop-up alerts/"are you sure" messages? Thanks for any help

Once CWM is online you might be able to flash a VZW or Aussie stock ROM. Actually, you could probably flash CM... That'll fix the Japanese popups. Of course, it also could very possibly brick it. Proper precautions must be made... On my tablet at the moment, does anyone know if sbf.droid-developers has 902 images?

Hello,
I have a verizon note 3 with mi9
I rooted via kingo and tried to back up my efs via:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447342
basically I forgot to install busybox, the process did not work, the script modified my phone's files but i'm not exactly sure which ones
for example in the phone directory i dont have files in /efs (http://www.note2forum.com/forum/gal...dden-menu-dialer-verizon-galaxy-note-3-a.html)
i wanted to enable the Hidden Menu (Dialer) on Verizon Galaxy Note 3.
So I have unrooted via Kingo app now. And I did a factory reset. I still do not see any files in the /efs folder on the phone
I want to know what I should do to fix the EFS files.
My phone still works to make calls and have internet, but I'm afraid to do anything further.
Thank you in advanced
You can't see efs without a root browser. Unlikely there ever was an issue.

Thanks, okay I rerooted the phone. I am using ES file explorer and I can see alot of files in the folder efs/ now. I'm guessing they are all there since my phone seems to still work.
anyways below is what the script I was using was doing, maybe someone can explain whats going on, and confirm stuff didn't get deleted. I have no idea whats going on there.

Hello, so.. Before, my problem was about getting adb to work in recovery, which someone told me to install TWRP, that worked, and I got USB Debugging turned on.
Now, I seen that I need to root my phone, so I can push the adbkey.pub to data/misc/adb/adb_keys..
I tried pushing adbkeys.pub there already (without root, in recovery), and the phone still wants me to press ok, when the prompt of the RSA key pops up.
Have TWRP, ADB works when phone is in Recovery..
Phone not ROOT-ed. Which might be my problem..
USB Debugging works
adbkey.pub has been sent to data/misc/adb/adb_keys around 3 times
Generated new adbkey.pub already..
The things I did:
adb shell mount /system
abd shell
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> default.prop
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> /system/build.prop
exit (Exited out of adb shell)
adb push adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
I had copied adbkey.pub to the adb folder.
Again, like I said in my last thread, I don't care about losing data. Flashing stuff would not be a problem with me.
If you are wondering, I am using windows.
EDIT: Regenerated another adbkey... The key is actually differient this time.. Will go into TWRP and push this key.
Has it worked with another key?
Stuck in the same situation at the moment.
