hmmm utility is runs and reboots the phone but it didnt actually root. Any ideas? I did download SU from the market as well, but no root.

yeah the program ends abrubtly but i had root after installing superuser. id like to see the superuser.apk be pushed to system/app in a future version of this utility.

See my problem is no root at all though.

Can you modify this script so it doesn't self destruct?

Some users are playing around with different roms/leaks, and it's just annoying to unzip the file every time.

I edited the batch file and removed the delete lines, and added a pause at the end so i could see what happened.

Works on 211 too! Thanks!!

Anyone get tibu restore to work using this? I tried different busyboxes and nothing works. Just curious.

I know this is a good idea and everything, but it seems like it only partially works since busy box is messed up on it.

The unstuck utility method takes 5 minutes and is easy as can be.

thank you very much DDX.... much appreciated. But.... I was unable to obtain any root access. Seems as though it just...... stops, following the second reboot. I know some others have had the same issue. I made sure it was in MTP mode. Thanks for any help.

I believe I may have found my problem. Following my install of the .211 from stock rooted 181, my SU and a couple of other root apps remained. I disabled the superuser and now it does not appear in my app drawer, does not show under any of my apps under "installed", "internal storage" or "running". When i go to the play store, it does not even offer the option of uninstalling, updating, or anything..... it just shows the app. Any ideas as to why? I disabled it because it wasn't working and I tried the "Super su" for ICS by "chainfire". Any help is much appreciated.

[JoJoLanny]

Well..... "busybox installer pro" says I have root access. I just need to to "enable" my superuser.... but it's still not showing up. I don't know where to find it. WOW!!! Now I feel like a real dooshbag!

"HI..... I LOST MY SUPERUSER"... And I can't spell dooshbag!! WTF!!! :-/

This didn't work for me at all. Is it possible this works in Windows 7 and not XP? If so then this is the only utility I have used that runs this way. Everything else I use from here runs on XP only. Correction, the utilities run but the drivers don't work in Win 7. I would investigate why if I had to, but I use both systems in my PC so I just switch over.

Nope. I have Windows 7 ultimate.... NOGO!! Lol

Doesn't work for me. I have ICS 211 and have tried this, and many other root packages to no avail. Can't get root access on 211 regardless of what I do. Any thoughts?

The only thing that worked for me was the Unstuck rooting method. AP Fastboot the. 85 image, root using Matt's old ICS root tool, then AP Fastboot the. 211 image. It took a bit of tinkering and i had to edit the.bat for the tool to point to the. 211 img, but it worked like a charm.

[SlammedDime]

This worked for me for .211. Used JRummy's Installer to update to busybox 1.20.1 afterwards and it works as it should.

[habba]

Somehow when I downloaded it I had a corrupted file. Redownloaded and it worked perfect! Thanks!

Will this method also work on previous Android versions? My coworker just updated his Droid 2 to the latest firmware (2.3.4) & is currently stuck without root. Trying to help him out, hadn't seen this attempted yet. If not, does anyone know of a root method that will work? It is my understanding that his build is currently unrootable

Edit: No dice, tried multiple root methods for him & it looks like for now he's outta luck.
