Yesterday I tried to install jellybean, but it kept aborting. So I fastbooted back to stock and rooted using Utility 1.82. I got jellybean running, but only the root apps that were installed before the update are granted root. All of the root apps I install on Jellybean are not granted root access. How do I fix this? The other issue is my phone will no longer connect to a mobile network, it will show how many bars I have but no 1x,3g or 4g indicator and it will not connect to google. How do I fix this?

I also used Voodoo to backup root

I would suggest using the Unbrick Utility, then flashing the JB leak from XMas Eve, root, protect root, then flash the Soak leak. I ran through this entire process yesterday, make sure your battery is 100%, it will take between 40-50% on a MAXX to go "end to end". Let me know if you need further assistance/instructions.

You ran the unbrick utility, right? Thats normal, after you run the utility in fastboot, the phone wont boot. You then have to access recovery and install the XMas eve leak file from external SD. That will get your phone to a bootable state. Then its just a matter of rooting and bringing you up to the soak build.

I don`t know what the hell happened but I can`t get into recovery.

Press the power and volume down buttons, that will hard reset your phone. Once you see the screen flcker, hold down both volume buttons to access the recovery screen, then just select recovery as usual.

quick question. My brother has the same phone as me, he installed the new update, but did not use voodoo so he lost root. Does the root exploit for the christmas leak work on the newest build?

Yes it does. Need to make sure that Smartactions did not get updated

So drag smartactions up to app info and uninstall updates and then run the root utlilty?
