Will there be a Jellybean root in the future, and if it does become available will you add the JB file to your utility too?

I don't have a crystal ball and yes.

LOL.... maybe you should get a crystal ball.... hahaha :-)


Thanks for this utility!!

writing 'modem' ...

my RAZR HD UTILITY 1.10 seems stuck on this step

earlier in the script it printed:

writing 'system'...
Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 135.516s

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

This looks like one of the errors we were seeing in the linux utility....(on 32 bit systems) if it is the same thing, then it may be because it needs the "updated"
AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe files.... you can get them here

copy and paste into the utility folder..... to be safe, you may want to copy and paste the originals from the folder to somewhere else.....

Hello, I need to unroot my 4.0.4 gingerbread droid razr. But I saw someone say that when they unrooted their razr.. that they werent able to get software updates anymore. Is this true? will I be able to update? if no, then is there anyway i can get system updates while im rooted?

4.0.4 is ICS.... so i guess my first question has to be.... are you on ICS or GB..... .... either way, you can un-root if you need to... also, unless you have changed a bunch of "stuff" (systwm apps, bloatware, etc) you can use voodoo's OTA rootkeeper app to preserve root through an OTA update...

There it also the option of using matts utility to go back to stock... then take an ota update.... the re-root etc, etc....

I'm on ver 4.0.4 sys ver 0.7.2.XT926. Updated drivers in windows runing xp pro 64 bit. I've downloaded and opened Droid_Razr_HD_Utility and executed and ran bat file. when it says to make sure you are in AP fastboot mode adn connectred thru usb- I cannot seem to get my device to boot into AP fastboot. I have usb debugging enabled. I power phone down, (have tried it connected to usb and unconected.) I press power and up volume and get a utility window with the 3rd option being AP fastboot. I move the cursor down to highlight this and press power button. It just boots normally, Not into fastboot. What am I doing wrong?

when you scroll down to ap fastboot mode.... instead of hitting power.... hit volume up

[karatche]

Ok so I got to enter fastboot and ran utility but the utility says something about not recognizing the adb. So I'm thinking from reading that i need to relpace a copuple files that I saw posted earlier?

[johnthehillbilly]

So should I be connected via usb when I power down and try to enter fastboot? or connect to usb after entering fastboot?

Either way is fine... I usually get into fastboot then plug in..... Less chance of pulling on the usb cable and putting undue stress on the connections....

First option ran- took about 3-4 mins. It then wiped data and rebooted normally to the setup portion of rom setup. I powered down - back into fastboot and ran bat file again- chose option2, enter, it just hangs saying "waiting for device". Phone displays it is usb connected. I've tried the utility with old fastboot and AdbWinApi.dll files and new ones.

Option 2 (rooting) is not done in ap fastboot mode..... Boot your phone normally.... Change usb mode to mtp (not mass storage) run option 2 again

Thanks - Got root- installed safestrap- installed recovery.
I updated binary gthru SU but at the end of the process it keeps saying FAIL. dono- So I got root keeper and did Protect root- and Temp UnRoot.
Now I want to run a JB rom. Can I do this wihtout taking the official update? os should I take the official? I want to get rid of bloat. Can I do this with root on the official update? Sorry for all the noob q's. I'm a htc guy. (Formerly!)

I entered the command menu and selected Recovery by accident and now i have a little android on the screen adn can't get out - how do I reboot normally from this?
Never mind- it finally went to safestrap

[karatche]

It was my understanding that I could get root- save root thru root keeper and Temp Unroot to take the OTA update. Then maybe restore root after I was on JB. My update keeps failing. I discovered that I had to uninstall safestrap recovery to take the ota update. just a fyi

[hey__no_really]

It's for both
