Ive been looking all over for a post about rooting JB but i havent found anything, I just got my maxx HD it shipped with JB but I dont want to downgrade to ICS to root because I already have most of my stuff on the new phone.

Sorry man. The only way is to downgrade to ICS.

IS there dev's working on a JB root or is it a lost hope? Because no mater what im not downgrading.

Nobody working on it that I know of.

I don't know for sure but I have a feeling not many people would want to bother with it since there is a work around root method.

You can downgrade to ICS, root, use the Voodoo app to protect root then upgrade back to JB. You don't have to stay on ICS if that was your concern. I don't see a JB root in the future since you can use the above process. Hope this helps.

The only negative to downgrading is the you have to wipe. But it isn't a bad idea to start off with a clean slate anyhow.

Using rootkeeper isn't working for me.when updating through about phone, system updates it keeps failing
It will go through a few seconds and then reset. I am doing it just like on the of RAZR temp unroot then restore temp unroot then restore. Now.for the HD do I need to temp unroot or.be In the restore root mode for voodoo ota
Superuser binaries are updated to lasted version

Thought of going back but I dont have the time to redo everything again, just gona wait till someone roots jb before using TB to restore all my games and other saved data.

You should be in the restore root mode when updating. Backup root, temp unroot, restore root, temp unroot, then restore root again. I know it seems pointless but give it a try.

You might be waiting a while for the jb root option since there is the work around. I honestly doubt anyone will attempt a jb root at this point. But its up to you.

X2, I have had best luck with leaving it in 'Temp Unroot' state. I once did an update while VoodooRootkeeper was installed, but I forgot to Temp UnRoot, and I was stuck in a state where I had to start all over again.

Soo decided to bite the bullet and flash ICS after playing around with my orig, maxx I discovered matgroffs utility doesnt do a wipe of user data unless requested, sooo I didnt wipe on the maxx, sooo far its working perfect on the JB leak, gona try it with the HD see how it goes.
