I just installed .211 and SS forcecloses. I know the download is good since I used it on .79. Any help?

[Brad92]

Apparently Voodoo root keeper only partially worked... I have root access for certain apps like TiBu...

I guess I'll have to wait til I get home

Did you try re-installing busybox from the market? That's what it sounds like to me ;-)

Won't hurt anything to try...

Thanks for the idea, but I tried a couple different installers from the market and they both failed

Wish I could help more, but my maxx doesn't come until next week ;-)

Good luck though...

Its all good, I appreciate it. I just need to get to a computer so I can root.

And congrats on the Maxx. You're gonna love it!

Yes, if SS force quits it means that you don't have proper/full root access. Just re-root and you should be good

If you used the 4.0.4 root method posted here recently (the one not included in my 1.6 Utility) it has issues with busybox. Safestrap needs a fully working busybox to work.

Oops, what are the issues? I haven't noticed anything. I've used it to root .210 & .211. Had a little glitch rooting .211, but I blamed it on user error since it worked the second time.

I've downloaded the unstuck.211 utility so I can try that. Just want you and the other developers to know I trusted y'all with my device hahaQuestion: Matt, if I use the utility method to root, do I lose data since I'm flashing a different boot.img? I would think not, but just curious... Its no big deal either way

[Brad92]

Used Matt's utilities to root. I thought I was doing it wrong since it was so easy and worked great lol.

I had this issue as well. All I had to do was install superuser from the market (already rooted and kept with voodoo ota) and busybox. All was good after that.

THIS METHOD WORKS PERIOD..........


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 WILL WORK... I HAVE HAD ZERO PROBLEMS WITH THIS....

Make sure you follow the instructions on this post if you want to keep your data in tact. It's uses a slightly modified version of Matt's 1.6 utility.

Super user was not in the original install download. Ota rootkeeper will work once you have busybox updated and SU downloaded, then restore root.
