My Razr M is rooted running the leaked 4.1.1
I've tried to unroot using SuperuserSu to no avail. I've tried to uninstall the stock Superuser but all I can do is disable it, not uninstall it (as recommended for unrooting via SuperuserSU).
The reason for unrooting and returning to stock ICE is that now my bluetooth connection to car will not bring up the address book. While this may sound trivial it really isn't. Being able to make a "hands-free" call while driving is a key feature of good bluetooth connection and I seem to have lost that with root.
Any suggestions/help to unroot would be appreciated.
I'm not the best at this stuff, but my opinion is use the ICS fast boot files and start over. We're getting close to the JB release anyways, so it may be more beneficial to return to stock.

I went back and restored ICS which wiped out the root.
Thanks!

N00b error...
I didn’t have the foresight to backup the bloatware on my Droid X in order to be able to update it later (to gingerbread) so now I’m hitting the issue of a failed install when I attempt update.
I’ve run a factory reset a couple of times but with no luck since it only reinstalls what I backedup. I also downloaded and reinstalled the bloatware I remembered removing from chad handy but after doing that it still fails on the update
At this point I’m looking for some options on what I can do. Will a hard reset work or do I run a big risk of bricking the phone? I’ve been poking around the threads to see what I can learn from others but I guess I’m needing a straight set of options rather than trying to mash together from parts of other threads
originally rooted with z4root but unrooted just prior to the factory reset

my apologies

I did the same thing as the OP. I used Titanium Backup to kill stuff like CityID and Verizon Navigator. Now I'm stuck being unable to use the OTA as it checks to see if those bloatware apps are installed (WTF?).
Does a hard reset restore the ROM to it's original state? Or am I just SOL and should go for a custom ROM?

You need to SBF to stock Froyo and update from there. If you want root you'll need the pre-rooted 596 leak as the stock GB is not rootable...........yet.

The easiest way to fix it would be to just sbf back to stock and then update. If you update ota you'll loose root.

Just like everyone is saying I went the sbf route. Worked like a charm and I'm now on 2.3.3
Thanks everyone

I'm reverting to stock but want to stay rooted. Looking at T-Mobile's site, it says that software number v2.32.531.1 is current. Is this correct? If so, does anyone have a link to a rooted v2.32.531.1 ROM? Much appreciated.

Let me ask a dumb question...
The ROM I used to go back to stock is software number v2.19.531.1. Is there a method I can use to get to v2.32.531.1 without wiping the device? I figure the "update" prompt I got OTA would kill my root so I passed on that.
Wiping is part of flashing. Leaving your system partition unwiped between flashes is not advised because it can cause problems. Use Titanium backup or some other app to backup your apps and sms backup/restore or similar to save your sms and the rest will need redone. It's the safer route
if i upgrade to Jellybean, will i lose my text and other things im saving on the phone?
will i have to go through the whole setup process again?

I upgraded to JB via OTA from Verizon, you will not lose anything if you upgrade that way, nor will you have to setup anything again. If you flash it through RSD lite than you probably will lose everything plus have to go thru the setup process again. Hope this helps. Make sure you uninstall safe strap recovery and if you're rooted make sure you backup and save root via the voodoo app, before accepting the OTA. I found out the hard way. If you don't uninstall the safe strap recovery the OTA will fail every time.

I apologize in advance if this has been answered or if I have inadvertently offended. I did watch the video and have developed OSes for 30 years. I also have searched all over this site and the web for resolution and am making no progress, so I'm asking the 'oracle'
Got an ATT S4 (I337) a week ago - it was running UCUAMDL. I rooted it using Motochopper and was happily using Titanium Pro etc. I get notified of OTA update. OTA update downloads (357MB) yet fails during install at 30% consistsently.
I figure it is unhappy with my root - I unrooted and cannot remember which way I did it - I seem to recall SuperSU I was using did not have the built-in 'unroot' support so I grabbed the stock image and used ODIN to flash it.I also may have manually uninstalled the 'normal' way the SU app - I suspect this may be my real problem.
After flashing stock ROM for UCUAMDL phone was no longer rooted, did not say custom etc, and took the OTA upgrade just fine. This was for UCUAMF3 which did add App 2 SD support - BTW this update used another 1G of storage compared to UCUAMDL, and I could not recover the 1G by moving apps either, making it virtually worthless as far as adding support for apps in SD, lol.
The problem is now I cannot seem to get the device rooted again. Motochopper fails when installing su.apk. I suspect I have screwed the pooch - what do I need to do to get this thing rooted again?
Is it typical for an OTA update to fail 'because' the device is rooted?
Any advice is much appreciated.
You can't root mf3. You never should have taken the update if you want to be rooted. Cross your fingers that someone finds a way to root the update but I'm not sure you should hold your breath.

So is doing a stockrom restore back to MDL an option? Then just root that with Motochopper? And disable OTA updates till its figured out?
The real joke here is that to get their built in app-to-sd functionality they give you an update that hogs up another 1GB!
Nope. Can't go back. Just gotta wait it out. Cheers
Just curious if you don't mind - WHY can't you go back? (Ready for the explanation based on perms and su etc, lol) Or flash stock ROM and factory reset etc?

A qfuse is blown when you take the update. It won't let you odin or anything else to go back to an earlier firmware.

Verizon keeps trying to push the OTA 4.4.2 update. I've been doing "install later" but now I'm ready to go ahead and pull the trigger on 4.4.2.
1. I am rooted
2. I do NOT have a custom bootloader (TWRP or CWM)
3. I do NOT have a custom ROM.
So, in order to OTA update do I simply have to un-root? If so, with the Full Unroot in SuperSU do the trick or do I need to go through the steps set up here to go back to stock?
Thank you in advance for any advice on the matter.

If you are rooted you can take ota, as long as you meet the requirements which are don't have custom recovery(twrp/philz/cwm),everything is stock, don't have xposed and have not removed bloat also to answer your question a full unroot from su should work no problem

Tried while rooted. The phone rebooted and the installer started, showing 0%, then threw an error (it went away before I could see it...something like 0x1111004?)
Did SuperSU Full Unroot. Rebooted. Tried install again and got the same results.
I'm going to try a full factory reset and see if it helps.
Well, crap!
So resetting the phone didn't help. I forgot that I mobile hotspot mod so I tried to back that out by installing the stock hotspot apk and odex.
Now, when I try to do a software update I get "unfortunately, software update has stopped". Tried force close and clear cache but no luck. Tried wiping phone again, no luck. Any ideas?
I have a boot issue on my Verizon G2. I'm on 11A stock, rooted and hotspot altered. I also have OTA updates blocked for months by titanium. Was going to undo wifi and unroot and factory reset to see if that helped my boot issue. But I hate to have mine error like yours since mine still functions. Gonna watch this thread and hope you get yours fixed. good luck
While trying to remove the hotspot mod i removed the mobile update apk. What a moron. Anyway, thank god i had a backup.
I'm back to square one. Can't ota update. It fails with 0x1111004. I'm going to look into disabling the daily push of the update and/or some other method of installing Kitkat.
