Just installed .79 leak and tried terminal since voodoo didn't work and it worked just fine!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet, another 79 success flash. Welcome.

I have Moto Razr....I will cut you.

Thanks. worked on my maxx for .79 from .181

[hljerdee]

I'm on the droid maxx and i used matts utility 1.51 to fastboot back to .173, and from there i rooted and used voodoo to protect my root, then i sideloaded ICS 6.14.75

And then I managed to get this to work, by using wifi on my phone and copying and pasting the commands in to the emulator one at a time,
After the second and third line nothing seemed to happen but i rebooted the phone like the instrunctions said and sure enough i had full root access!

I hope this helps.

Can I reach the conclusion here that Voodoo is not good when you go to leaks?

[96dani]

thanx so much

cant find my su backup anywhere


no access to data or cache



came from .181 strait to .211 could not side load.....had to do the cache method for the leak to work

can't root my phone with any device.....it's not giving permission.......abd is connecting just fine....i don't get it

Hey, I had success - came from 181 to 211 using the /cache method

completely loss root

after hitting restore root in voodoo root keeper - still no root

tried this method and it worked GREAT! now i have root on .211

worked for me..thanks for posting it...heck of a lot simpler than waiting 5-6 hours on matt's utility to d/l. worked for me on .211

Worked for me! I'm running Superuser v3.0.7 (41) and Su binary v3.0.3.2. typed in the commands exactly as shown, rebooted, and restored root. This has allowed me to use free wifi tether again, which before was showing that I didn't have root access.

Voodoo also did not work correctly for me, to restore root...that's what I tried originally, but it failed. This works like a charm.

For those of you who WERE rooted & protected root with Voodoo, installed the ICS leak & subsequently lost root like I did,

Disclaimers:
I did not personally use this method - before it was available, I had already RSD'd. On my second time through the process, I successfully retained root. Therefore this was unneeded (for ME!) All credit goes to

I'm having the same exact issue, and I wish I wasn't at work so that I could run adb and stuff.
