I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong but after installing .211 i can't re-root. I used the method from this link to install .211 :

is there a step i'm missing afterwards that preventing me from rooting? I tried so many methods that state they work on all leaks and all seem to be able to read and push files to the phone but no root. superuser denies all apps that need root. anyone have any insight on if i'm missing something here?

I had trouble with rooting this version, but it turned out my sd card was corrupt. I replaced it and all is well.

Its true, half the files that are initially in the folder ( the ones that get copied to your phone) are gone after every use. Its like the guy used Cut instead of Copy in his code lol.

So it's not just me....it wouldn't give me root either

[cconcepts]

I had to flash the 85 boot image and root with matts utility. Couldn't root with the other.....but i got it rooted.

He copies the files over to the phone just fine, he then deletes everything once it's copied and some things that weren't . I think it may be a residual from them being placed on the sdcard at some point, but it doesn't make a lot of sense. You can open the script file and delete all the lines that begin with "del".

worked wonderfully for me

tried this one, i tried the modified razr utility. I'm beginning to think that maybe an app or superuser is blocking it somehow. everything pushes to the phone and it restarts and says the roots complete on all the methods i try but superuser denies everything still

FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS THEY WORK..... THEY WORKED FOR ME ON EVERY 20x. EACH TIME I GOT ROOT WITH ZERO PROBLEMS....




It's super easy.

- PUT THE .206 UPDATE FILE ON YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD FIRST.
You will not be able to use your RAZR to put the files on the SD card after you begin. Please do so beforehand.

- Open the Droid Razr Utility 1.6
- Turn your phone off, & then turn it back on holding VOL DWN and PWR to boot into AP Fastboot
- Select Fastboot to .181 in the Utility & follow the onscreen directions
- Let it complete. There will be quite a few errors, don't panic - this is normal.
You are now on what we coined "Psuedo-.181" - some weird hybrid of GB and ICS files. Your phone will not boot at this point.

- Open the unstick ICS tool
- Choose the .206 kernel
- Let it install, and reboot.
Because of this kernel upgrade, you are now able to flash ICS again... even a later version.

- Turn your phone off
- Hold VOL DOWN + VOL UP + PWR, then use VOL DWN to go to "Recovery" and VOL UP to select it
- Press VOL DWN + VOL UP to bring up the menu
- Navigate to "Apply update from external SD"
- Select the .206

file you downloaded.
- *IF IT FAILS THE FIRST TIME, TRY THIS PARAGRAPH AGAIN*
And now you're on .206!

If you want root afterwards:
- Turn on your phone and let it boot normally
- Set everything up, and then turn on USB

- Turn off your phone
- Hold VOL DWN + PWR to boot into AP Fastboot mode again
- Open the UnstickICS tool on your computer again
- Install the .85 kernel
- Turn your phone off
- Hold VOL DWN + VOL UP + PWR, then use VOL DWN to navigate to BP Tools, and VOL UP to select it
- Your phone should boot normally.
- Open the Droid Razr Utility 1.6 and select Root ICS.
- Follow the onscreen directions, pressing a button when it finishes rebooting, 3x.
- Turn your phone off again.
- Hold VOL DWN + PWR to boot into AP Fastboot again
- Use UnstickICS to flash the .206 kernel again
- Reboot
You need to do this, because the 4.0.4 kernel is not vulnerable to any root exploits. Going back to a previous kernel (in this case, 4.0.3) will allow you to exploit and obtain root, and then upgrade back to 4.0.4.

Done!

JUST DO IT ... IT WORKS!!!!!!!!
