Same here +1

im worried bout the SU issue im having any ideas??? i want the update =(

Can't wait. I hope it is the official one. Or at least one that we can flash. I have been trying to update the SuperUser as well; the app is at 3.1.3 but it fails trying to update to 3.1.1. Says "Gaining root access. . . fail".

If it's stuck on checking current version.....reboot then try again.

if it's stuck on trying to get su again....reboot then try again.

I got hung up at both spots. Rebooting worked for me.

The last update worked great, thank you very much Matt!

[kevin.slawinski]

Chiming in for the first time here...I followed the OP instructions and was able to update and keep root. All is well, JB is buttery smooth, and I couldn't be happier with the phone.

I am getting the following with root restorer...

r Options."

If the above id shows 0 then you are rooted. Press any key to exit.

I am getting the same errors, any luck yet?

Thank you thank you sir!! Followed to a T an I am now on JB an still rooted. Hats off to you all for the hard work you put in!!!!!!!

It is not the same kernel, they are very similar. Stock .211 is on:

3.0.8-g29cf5e7hudsoncm@il93lnx54 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 14 15:22:48 CDT 2012

It is the same base kernel version (3.0.8) and is the incorrect version for JB. This is because this was never meant for release. JB is technically supposed to be based on a Linux 3.0.31

This accidentally released build you guys are running is working off the same principal a Cyanogen/AOKP build does. It takes advantage of the fact that the ICS kernel and JB kernel are technically compatible.

[fishaholic]

worked great. followed op exactly and kept root no issues yayyyyy!!!!

[Dave12308]

Ouch... didn't mean to offend anyone with a noob question. I'll be more careful in the future.

It's not a case of offending anyone. It just makes us "non-noobs" nervous when someone is messing around with this stuff and don't know the basics. Too much risk of ruining your phone. in this case, if you install this and it does not work out for you, there is no going back. Apparently, they upped the bootloader security.

I am not able to regain root. Do I need to flash this zip, or can I just download and install ? Can someone assist on regaining root please?

I would if this were to release for the Bionic, the mismatched kernel makes me nervous.

Still, keep in mind that it was Moto's f%$kup that caused this to push out, so they HAVE to create a patch for it to put people back on the official OTA path. I just wouldn't expect it to happen quickly.

[shaggie821]

Flashed on 3 RAZR Maxx's & kept root on 2 that were rooted. 3rd 1 not rooted. As well updated my Razr & kept root. Tyvm. I take all responsibility!!! Merry Xmas Matt!!!

Afraid not. :-(

[kb3awq]

Think Ill wait for more comment and probably for an update for Matts Utility. Matt is awesome!

[bigcountry]

Afraid not. :-(

Mine did that until I realized I had the phone set as a mass storage device...change that to one of the other settings and it should work.

[RazrSharpJoel]

I got my root back and hack works. Back in business!!

I unrooted via Voodoo OTA... was getting the JB update... then everything stopped as if it were pulled (as mentioned at the start of this thread). Weird... o.0

Shame this build doesn't come with an unlocked bootloader... that would be an even better Christmas present from Moto/Verizon.

[cyberLurker]

Anyone one try reinstalling ss3?

I tried RestoreRoot but it didn't work. VooDoo couldn't get Root Privileges to restore su even though it had a good backup copy.

I ended up wiping the device and restarting from scratch with Android 4.1.2 due to a ton of old crap built up from Gingerbread days.
So I hope we get a new exploit soon please!
