Remnants from the old republic.  That's why I want to see the output from those two commands. I suspect you'll be doing a system.img flash shortly, as well.

When I ran it all, I ended up with the # logo and SU, it even said binaries need updating.  I did not run those commands you gave (irrelevent as I FDR'ed and will FXZ later today).  However, the # said binaries needed updating.  I went to update and it said it could not be done.  Rootchecker then said "Not rooted" and TB could not get Su either.  I copied/pasted everything from the hardware button to taking oem out of xml.  To be clear, where it sais <oem>, delete it all inside so it shows <> (arrows remain)...correct?  Also, is there a corrected xml already that anyone has?  Would save some time.  I figure I COULD take the preinstall and system.img out of the FXZ then push those easy by themselves but a personal preference is to absolutely FXZ it all.  Thanks for all you do and have done Sam.  I am bipolar, don't take my rants personally;-)  Good mood, bad mood, hypo mania, trending toward depression.  A roller coaster some may know but a lot do not even imagine.  Take this as an "I apologize for ranting" statement;-)

It seems some people are having problems with the part requiring pressing a hardware button.

 

I've uploaded a new version of the exploit that will cause the phone to vibrate when that stage has competed successfully. As the instructions now state, don't press enter to continue with the exploit until your device has vibrated. That will hopefully fix all the problems.

 

The updated exploit also uninstalls old versions of Superuser.apk if it was previously installed on the system partition instead of as a normal app.

You hear it ALL the time, but you are awesome.

You're trying to connect on the bionic before you have the share set up?

[bigv5150]

Well, now.  This is amazing.

 

I've followed each and every step around 10 times now, trying with the 32-bit Linux distro. linked in the OP.  Each time everything goes perfectly, takes about the expected amount of time and Motoshare tells me everything is done, but for some reason the phone never actually roots.  To ensure I covered all of the bases I even factory reset the phone to remove any older .apk builds hovering about in storage, but still no root.

 

The OS is detecting the device with no problems, everything copies and runs, but it just won't root.

 

Any advice?

I had the same problem everything went through the phone rebooted the last set of instructions are a little confusing when you have to press a hardwarre button and then reboot.  first time I didn't get root either.  I did it again and hit the hardware button after the phone rebooted the first time then hit enter and the script will make it reboot again.  After this time I had root it seems more than a few like me were hitting the hardware button to soon.  This may or may not be the problem but if the entire process went through I suspect this is it.

Okay, so <oem> blah blah blah   DELETE the entire line that references OEM?  I have yet to open it so I may just see if you are here later.

P.S. Yes, I took out the flash to emstorage, too, so it won't wipe out your internal sdcard.  But it will erase the data partition.

LOL, so just use that in the XML, thanks Sam.  Did I ever say I love you in a "Android programming" and "Tech support" way?  You are my hero.  Saying delete <oem> so it is <> is confusing, lol.  That is different from what you showed me.  Thanks again Sam.  I will get into this as home and looks like new setup for exploit per Dan himself.  Hopefully a great day.

Sam, something up here at work. I'll have to catch up with you later. Thanks for the help, as always!

No Samurai; I only showed that part on top as that's what's bombing out  I put the rest at the end just in case there would be something there that I was doing wrong somehow...

[SamuriHL]

Well, it's not taking your pwd, so, I would change it to something else in samba, restart the samba service, and reconnect on the phone.
