I'm brand new to rooting, and I followed all the directions to root my razr M. It's running on 4.1.1 jelly bean btw. I did a factory reset on it because it was giving me an error message. After the reset I ran the root and it said that it installed fine, my phone powered off and on, and superuser appeared in my app tray.
However, when I try to run rooted apps and use root checker, nothing works and it says my phone isn't rooted. I have since re-ran the root program 4 times and still it does not seem to work. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

go into stock recovery by powering phone on holding volume up-down and do a cache wipe and a factory reset from there. and after try the root exploit again

So what is different from the factory reset I already did and this one you are suggesting?

I dont know man but i know this would fix the problem.. its all covered in the rooting thread,, maybe its not differences but you still need to wipe cache so.

Its going to sound odd but try this as a friend of mine had issues as well. For some reason busybox was not working correctly. To fix it I had him download and install busybox form the play store after he Reset and re-rooted the device. However as i told him grab busybox from the market and update it BEFORE you try going into Superuser or any app that requires root.

I would do that and make sure the superuser app and binaries are updated as well.
