If that does not work I would suggest using the Utility to fastboot back to stock JB then root right after you set up the phone and clear smart actions data

well i thin kthat's what i'm going to have to do. i cleared SA data and checked everything but it just sits on "waiting for device".

This sounds like the same thing that happened to me. Option 1 then 3 was the trick. I wonder if the data wipe was necessary?

Ok so I got the root to work with the official stock JB version I received from Verizon. If you read above you'll see I had some trouble. My solution? I removed (uninstalled) the Voodoo OTA install I had from my Gingerbread version. Reran the Root (number 3) and this time it worked. Thank you!

So i updated to RLS7 from RLS6, lost root and can not figure out how to reroot. I've used Utility 1.9, even went back and used 1.82. Both showed that i was rooted however, when i go to use titanium backup or superuser it says im not rooted. Any ideas?

[boxsmiley]

thank you sooo much for this tool. the damn ota update for jb was failing on my phone on a checksum for slacker radio (wtf?). you allowed me to get it without that ridiculous hassle. you shall have my donation for the work.

[desmadre]

n/m i got it. used 1.9 and redid it skipping the smart actions step, using MTP mode rather than mass storage (which is not stated in the instructions)

[simpdawg]

thank you! this was the only method that worked for me to get to JB after trying everything else including temp unroot, disabling supersu, factory restore, wipe/restore, etc.

OK, right thread this time!

Phone put into fastboot, USB connection successful. This utility, & 1.82, all hang at the "writing system" part. Now phone is in bootloop into fastboot saying flash failure. lol, not sure what to do next.

They are hanging from a hardware issue on your computer. Be it a bad cable or bad port or not enough RAM available. You can use RSD Lite and you wouldn't have that issue unless its something to do with cable and port. PS don't use a USB 3.0 port.

Changing from a USB 3 to a USB 2 port did the trick. It got past "writing system".

Matt you are awesome!

[altspeed]

absolutely terrific Matt. was on the xmas leak with a lot of stuff frozen, removed, etc etc....but just bing bang boom kablam batman! did have to reroot (flawlessly, just had to clear app cache on smart actions first), but painless, had a good backup but it was totally not needed. be sending you and dan both a little something as soon as my deposit posts this week

Kudos as always

when i clear SA data, it comes right back. it will show cleared to 0Kb, i'll back out of it and look again right away and it will be right back up to 628Kb. but nothing is running! Everyting is off in SA. What is it doing to cause this?

[kaylasnider]

cross your fingers matt! thanks so much!

If I were you I would totally delete (not just disable) all SA rules you currently have, clear the SA app cache, create and save and homescreen the battery saver rule, and then root. That's what I had to do, and then recreate the 3 rules I use after I rooted. If it makes any difference I run super su pro too.

Nah

[droidmaxxuser]

After using option 1 and installing safe strap I went to make a ROM slot active to install a ROM I saw that the stock was on slot 1 whats the stock slot for? Can we use the stock slot to put a ROM on since its not used or do I need to make Rom slot 2 active and flash to that.

No, don't flash anything to the stock slot. You're supposed to be able to with SS 3.11 but it doesn't work and more than likely you'll just end up hosing your stock side. You can make backups of it and restore them but don't flash any mods or roms to it. It's really there for a backup of sorts. If something gets hosed, on your safe side, you can always go back to the stock side. The safe side is your playground.

[mdcowby]

Will option 1 give me a fresh stock install.


Never stupid question
