yes I used ubuntu 12.10 live cd and followed YouTube video all the way through. prior to doing this, I tried to keep root before the OTA following with voodoo rootkeeper with combination of Sam's instructions and a YouTube video made by the same person. after ota, i could access chain Dd superuser and rootcheckr said I had root,but anytime I tried to get appa that need root like tibu I'd get no root permission method.

That right there is your problem.  There's left over crap from the previous attempt at keeping root.  You're going to need to flash the system.img from the 98.72.22 FXZ.  If you have the House of Bionic installed with the 98.72.22_FXZ, just use the FXZ Keep Data option.  Then try the root process again.  It will continue to fail until you do this.

ok.I'll visit HOB tomorrow, haven't been there since ICS first rolled out, but was able to use your utility twice in the past with success. thank you.

[kellym]

one last question, if I took update OTA, I can still use HOB for FXZ or do I have to do that manually? fingers crossed HOB is available to me.

Many thanks Samuri and djrbliss. Took my brick and turned it into a Rooted Bionic. Only had experience with a totally scripted Live CD Ubuntu for the D2G, didn't do much but check out the OS after the script ran. This was way cool and very easy, just took patience and attention to detail, especially the part about recommending the 32 bit version....

Hi,

I need a system.img  for XT910 Retail.en.EU. Does anybody already have a link to it?

 

I've found some, very promising , but after flash I'm getting boot failure and stuck in fastboot :-(

 

EDIT: originaly I've downloaded file: 9.8.2O-124_SPUEM-14_S7_USASPDRICS01RUKE1007.0R_USASPDRJBRTGB_P011_b57374ab5a_p2b_S1FF_fb_CFC.xml.zip

 

It unpacked correctly. I've checked system/default.prop and system/build.prop. These files are the same as I've downloaded from my phone. But now, I've discover that md5sum of system_signed file does not match the md5sum in the attached xml.

 

So I extracted the zip again, this time was md5sum the same as listen in xml file. I flashed it again and now I have my phone back.

Yeah, HoB can be used no matter how you got where you are. Whether you used the FXZ or took the OTA, the end result is the same.

 

There WAS a method of using the FXZ that was around for a minute that didn't flash a certain partition that was supposed to allow you to return to the 246/ICS system, but I think even that wouldn't matter. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Sam!

 

And on that note, does the HoB have an option to use that if you are coming from ICS, or is that just one too many options that might cause more problems than it's worth?

Hi out there,

i tried the way to root my XT910 exactly like written in this thread by using ubuntu live DVD but i get stucked with this one since a few days:

 

 

ubuntu@ubuntu:/tmp/share$ sudo ./run.sh

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

I think the problem is that the "pwn" filed could't get copied ;-) I doesnt matter how long i wait, the xt910 will not reboot, I can just "Enter to contimue", the script will go on and the razr is booting after the scipt has finisched.

any one any ideas...

 

Thank You for your help ;-)

i found it out and solved it by my self: the problem was, that the smb share hasn't been mounted to  /storage/rfs0

it was mounted tp "rfs1" (Youi can see the path when you do the mounting with the "files tool")

I just edited the line in the "run.sh" file and everything went good ;-)

 

I hope i can help someone with the same problem ;-)

It requires being on ics and using a modified 22 fxz. Has absolutely nothing at all to do with what Kelly is trying to do so let's not confuse things here.

Rooted!  

 

Used Ubuntu 12.10 and updated (sudo get-apt update).  I wasn't able to install samba without doing the update.  

 

Thanks so much everybody in this forum and of-course Dan.

I've successfully rooted my Bionic with this method using VMWare Workstation with a CentOS 6.4 minimal install on the VM. If you need help with root using this method or something similar, please feel free to PM me.

[jamanbeck]

Thank you so much. This was easy to understand and follow. You guys are the reason we can do what we do.

hi guys...i have problem..when i have to configure the remote archive on my razr xt910 it tells me that i put wrong informations (even if they're right) and i can't make it work...can someone help me? the phone and my ubuntu pc must on the same wifi?

Your phone needs to be connected to a WiFi that is on the same network as the PC.

[Dallo28]

so, i will never get root

[marty45714]

Yes, to elaborate on what livnginkaos said, what you are doing is connecting to the SMB file share on the Linux server from your phone over your WIFI network, so they need to be both connected to your WIFI router. You can do a few things to check this:

1) Find the IP address of the phone and ping it from the Linux server.

2) Find the IP address of the Linux server and ping it from the phone, using the Android terminal app or something similar.

3) Another thing I did was test that the Linux SMB share was working by connecting to it from my Windows machine:

I.E. going into My Computer and typing: \\192.168.1.11\share

(where 192.168.1.11 represents the IP address of the Linux server. Substiture your Linux server's IP address.)

Surely you can connect your phone and Linux server to the same WIFI network???

my pc is too old and it doesn't have wi fi, and the only wi fi line i can get in my house is in my garden...not the best..
