Hi, I have a xt912 Droid RAZR Maxx using 4.0.4 ICS and I used the root method that was provided here. I then went root app crazy and also installed the superuser.apk file with the Elite. I went and got clockwork mod touch installed after that, and when I did, the phone would say something like "system is upgrading" and after a while the custom front screen wouldn't work anymore and I lost root access. I since then did a FDR and everything except superuser left. I tried recovering the backup using recovery in fast boot, but it isn't showing as a choice from CWM. I used root checker and it says my phone is not rooted yet I can't uninstall the app only disable it. How do I take it off so I may re-root this phone later? I also used a backup from Titanium pro+root and it won't let me recover from that. Any help would be appreciated.

Not RAZR Maxx forum... This is for the RAZR M.
That said, if you did an RSD (assuming that's what you meant by FDR?), you're gonna need to do whatever you did in the first place to get root... No idea how, since I don't own a RAZR Maxx. You'd have better luck asking in the Maxx forum...

I can't find the maxx forum. I thought that this was the closest thing to it.

Of doesn't even matter. Just go to the app and click cleanup for permanent unroot. It will delete it. You aren't rooted but yes the app remains in an unfunctional state. Uninstall it like I said then do a factory reset(probably not needed but do it anyway. Keep it clean!)
And this is correct for ANY phone.

There is no option for cleanup. All it has is disable and clear data. It won't let me uninstall it. Its like it became bloatware when I did a FDR

Cleanup would actually be in app, not in Android's app settings... Chances are tho, if you really have no root, cleanup will fail

I guess I will have to reinstall the elite version again. Will let you know how it goes

Well I can tell you from experience that just cuz you have root apk does mot give you root. The thing is, whatever you did is something I have done before. I don't remember all but I do remember I regained root after doing it and both aps asked for superuser permissions.
Everything did work but I had both. Sorry bud, I can't remember what I did but I can tell you it was an easy fix.

Re-rooting would do it

My friend kind of went a little crazy and got too ambitious with his newly found root powers, and deleted some important stuff, so I need to know where I can get a stock droid 2 rom so he can just start over from scratch. And no, he didn't make a backup before he started messing with it, unfortunately. Any help in directing me to a stock rom would be much appreciated =)
Didn't wanna start a new thread. This was the original question for this thread, just so the two replies make sense:
"So I just bought my droid 2, rooted it using the one click method, didn't have any complications, but then I tried installing clockwork recovery, and while it said it installed successfully, but when I try rebooting into recovery, it just reboots normally.
I tried booting straight into recovery using the power button and x, but all it does is display the android with an exclaimation point next to it, and I have to pull the battery to get it to reboot.
WTF is going on?! I've looked through the forums and googled it, but I can't figure out what the problem is, anyone know?"

You need droid 2 bootstrap, otherwise you can't get into clockwork, google droid 2 bootstrap to find it

Ok peeps. Here is the deal. I switched over from an evo to Verizon Droid x waiting on the galaxy s2. So kind of new, kind of not.
Here is my issue. I sbf'ed to froyo so I can gain root. Then back to a 596(?) Gingerbread and it worked great. Now... it took an ota and installed it. Not sure how, but it did. I kept the root (su permissions) but now it will not boot into clockwork recovery. I've used the ROM manager and dx boot logger program (sorry can't remember the exact name) and all it does is reboot, get the Motorola logo then blank screen. It sits for a while then I get impatient and pull the battery.
Any help would please be helpful.

Are you sure you're still rooted?
Have you had an app ask for superuser permissions?
If you have a terminal emulator, open it and type su to see if you get the #.
If you don't, you are no longer rooted.
Yes, I have had apps ask for permission. Like titanium, wireless tether, etc.

Hi everyone I have a rooted evo and I've rooted and unrooted a couple times and I am very compfortable with flashing roms because I do it all the time. My boss has a milestone x and she wants me to root it for her. I was wondering if someone could give me a list of roms that are stable and work well on milestone x also hotspot working! Also is there an amonra recovery I can put on. If anyone has the files I will need to root that would be great. On my Evo I just unrevoke then flash amonra and a Rom and its in business. Is there a big change on how to root this? Thanks a lot Droidxers I really appreciate it!

I recently purchased a milestone x the gingerbreak app worked for me
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I rooted mine using SuperOneClick root and it worked easily!
As for a working ROM I have read that it is a long process to make Droid X ROM's work with our APN's and it is possible to get stuck with Verizon's network so I haven't even tried it.
What I have done that has made the experience much different is install some apps and script's that 180'ed the stock ROM and make it feel like a completely different device.
Well this is what I did, I searched gingerbreak on 4shared . Com website, downloaded, open it, then press root. The root is successful when it turns off, if it doesn't work redownload another apk..
For the CMW recovory..I searched droid x bootstrapper, again on 4 shared..pressed bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery.
Far as custom roms go its not many that work on Milestone X, Liberty 2.0.1 does with no tweakin..
Miui and Cm7 works with a script kernel tweak seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=vxZ7cBt2K-Q you just have to delete the Verizon kernel script with notepad and save the changes..the exact tutorial is under "show more" under the video..that should work

Comrades, Just got myself a Nexus7 and rooted it as soon as I got home but titanium backup gives me an error message saying could not open and my device may not be properly rooted!! I used the root tool app.
Can I re root using the same steps without any damage ?
many thanks.:thumbup:

You need to unlock bootloader first before you can root.
Make sure to backup your data, it will be wiped when unlock the bootloader.

Do you really need titanium backup right now? if you just bought it and tried to root it as soon as you got home, you shouldnt have anything on your device of importance do you? lol
if you did get root, titanium needs a busybox installed for it to work. get the busybox app by stericson at the market. open the app, install busybox.

Yes, like most people I've spent a couple of days tweaking, downloading, transferring files and basicly using the tablet.
I did not sit will an empty tablet waiting to sort out the titanium problem. Thanks.

I have a rooted Droid Razr Maxx.
Voodoo Safestrap and Super UseSU loaded.
Wanted to freeze uneeded prgrams and tweak system to run quicker.
Also using Rom Toolbox to tweak CPU etc.
Loaded Nova launcher afterwards which I am very happy with.
My question is that Verizon is asking me to update my system now. I am assuming this is the scheduled JB update.
Since I rooted I know it is not going to let me update.
I actually tried to unroot once before and was unsuccessful.
I still show 0/1 and it will not let me do it for some reason.
In any case is it even worth it for me to do so?
Is JB going to give me anything that exciting that I would want to update?
If not i will just stay the way I have everything.
If so I will need to follow up to see if anyone can help me get unrooted so I can update.
Thanks in advance for any help.
This is the Razr M forum. You'll want to post this in the Razr Maxx forum. Different phones.
