AWSOME! Thanks so much for this!

Sweet!

Sorry

Here you go a root meathod brought to you by hacker812c ,over at XDA. Just download the ZIP file, extract it to your desktop. Open it up and click the windows or linux version.

YOU MUST MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS NOT IN MASS STORAGE MODE. PUT IT IN MTP MODE!

Let the program do its thing then download SuperUser app from Google Play. You might need to download busybox also and install it.

root worked but the superuser apk did not auto install with the second file in the thread. installed from google play/ thanks for the exploit

Root went fine, but SU didn't install. Just did it manually.

From the files included... su isn't a part of the script or program. Probably because some people like different programs?

I edited the script and added su. Apk but there was a typo in my edit and that's what this user tried and had trouble with.

I am a little confused. I went from .181 to .210 with no issue. I used Voodoo OTA to maintain root. I have root access for ES File, TiBu, Root Manager. They all show up fine in SU but I cannot get CWM to run without an error and Safestrap force closes when trying to use it. Voodoo does not show the root boxes checked but the programs mentioned are all operating normally with root. Do I need to reroot with this tool? Thanks for any help.

[bilbobaggins]

This didn't work for me at all. Is it possible this works in Windows 7 and not XP? If so then this is the only utility I have used that runs this way. Everything else I use from here runs on XP only. Correction, the utilities run but the drivers don't work in Win 7. I would investigate why if I had to, but I use both systems in my PC so I just switch over.

You need as specified in the OP busybox for installing safestrap. I'm wondering as a noob that I am why when you install safestrap doesn't scream that busybox is not installed because it does not work properly without it.

Question about nands.
When you restore a nand does it also restore the kernel as well?
For example if I restore a nand of 209 over 210 is this going to replace the 210 kernel with the 209?
Thanks guys.

No. On the Razr, all that's backed up is /system, /data/ and /cache. Theoretically you could back up the kernel if the recovery allowed it but it could not be restored with the locked bootloader.

[fixxxer2012]

does it make a difference having the superuser in data/app when i install it from the market rather than this tool pushing the apk to system/app?

[TGMTzmx]

hmmm utility is runs and reboots the phone but it didnt actually root. Any ideas? I did download SU from the market as well, but no root.

[Maxx86]

will this work when official ota comes out?

[pmbarrontx]

Kind of the same thing as TGMT. The utility runs, my phone reboots, the command prompt window goes away, then the phone reboots again, and I have no root. Even after installing SU. No errors are thrown it all seems to work, but no root. The Unstuck method of flashing the .85 image never worked for me either. I was able to upgrade to .206, but never able to attain root since.

[RazeRej]

downloaded, installed, ran the program, phone rebooted, no root. Stock .210 build. Toggling data on/off didn't work, cache wipe didn't work, had to do a factory reset.
