I hate you so much, Verizon and Motorola. Been bastards about this phone from the start.

You should maybe look in the Bionic section of the forum for a thread called "Easy Root"...

While many do, in what you have tried to do, they have no fault - You were trying to apply an exploit that does not work on the Bionic.  Research some more.

Thanks guys. As my post count implies, I'm new to this particular forum. I found this thread via Google, and other sources claimed this worked with the Bionic. I'll look for the other thread. Cheers!

When I execute run.sh it goes through the prompt then all I get is, "./abd.osx: No such file or directory."

 

I'm in debugging/USB, followed the steps, but somethings not hooking up correctly.

Can someone help me please?

got it!!!

 

turns out my virus protection was deleting elements of the batch file

 

I dis-enabled it temporarily and then it worked!

I ran this utility after a factory reset.  I get the following output not indicating any errors.  I'm on a Drod RAZR MAXX HD Jelly Bean 4.1.2.  Open the Super User app it asks me to update I say yes and that fails.  Open Titanium app and says its still not rooted.  Any suggestions?

[livinginkaos]

You did get an error - right after "This may take a few minutes" it said failure. Have you tried running it again?

[Moth1996]

I'm pretty sure this installs a virus on your phone. Seems to have disabled my data chart and is using ~300 megs of data a day, despite data being turned off on my phone.

[livinginkaos]

The exploit is not a virus.  You've got something else going on....  This is why rooting can be dangerous.   Did you install any root required apps after obtaining root?

Yeah a couple... I unrooted using voodoo and did factory reset. I hope that takes care of It.

[Arcturus]

wow ! thanks guys, worked perfectly !

I'm having troubles downloading the file.

It allows me to save it to my desktop but when i try to open the .zip file it says its invalid or corrupt.

Any ideas?

I just tested it and it extracted just fine.  Maybe a restart is in order?

Just restarted my computer and it did the same thing.

Im running Windows XP and ive got all the latest drivers from Motorola.

I've tried rooting this same phone with multiple programs and nothings worked from the ICS 4.0.4 - JB 4.1 - JB 4.1.1 - JB 4.1.2

I don't know if im stupid or what, but i can never get anything to work.

[livinginkaos]

Glad we got it going LSDWiZaRd !  Enjoy root!
