I followed instructions, and after installing JB l noticed the voodoo app was gone. superuser was present, but failed root access. i plugged back in to matt's utility, re-downloaded voodoo, opened it up, hit the restore root button, and all was good to go. I've never used voodoo, so i don't know if that's typical procedure, but i was just throwing this out there for anyone who followed instructions and do not yet have root access.

OK it looks like people are keeping root. :D

But what about WIFI hack?

The entitelment check hack does not work, but wif tether for root users does (Playstore) Just go in settings a set to Generic ICS/JB wlan1 and it works great.
EDIT: Like a :ph34r:, etrorteepe reminded me that after setting up the wif hack in SQLite, you have to reboot before it will work. :blink:

Entitlement check worked for me. After you do it you have to reboot the phone.

Just a FYI. Safestrap installs and works on this also, but of course no ROMS for this kernel yet. :D :ph34r:

I cant get back into the stock recovery. Im stuck at just the Moto M. Cant get into fastboot or anything else.


Hold down power button + volume keys for 10 sec. This will shut off phone. Same combo to turn it on and select recovery. From here you can wipe and reflash

my SU Binary wont update


Make sure you are rooted when updating the binary (if you have temporarily unrooted with rootkeeper that may be the problem)

I lost my root as well and I followed the instructions probably still something I did and he's making a patch so we can get it back :)

Hold Power, Vol Up, Vol Down ( all 3) until you see the screen flash, then let go of power. That should get you to the bootloader screen. From there you can go into recovery and try flashing again.

That's rare to have a successfull install followed by the big red M. You have a Verizon Droid Razr / Maxx CDMA? Were you 100% stock (not counting root) prior to doing the ota?

No error messages during the install? It said it installed sucessfully?
