Hello all, it's me again!!! I need someone to test a new method for root and install of clockwork to eliminate the need of revotoolkit and hopefully eliminate all of these problems of fastboot. I have run it on my phone and it appears to have worked, but I want to take a phone that is not rooted at all, and completely stock and test it on. Please let me know if you can help!!! Thanks!
Ps. This can then be written into a return to stock script for replacing with the stock recovery!!!!
Will flashing the .tot replace the CWM to stock? I'm pretty sure it does. I could make a backup right now, flash the .tot and try this if the .tot will replace CWM to stock

Alright I am stock and unrooted, ready to test when you are
Sending you a pm with the link! Thanks!!!
It rooted, installed CWM, and Revotoolkit successfully. No more errors in Revotoolkit, it knew which CWM version was installed.
Maybe change the filename so people don't mix them up with the other root methods? That's the only thing I could think of

Awesome! I am going to remove revotoolkit and make an all-in-one download tonight that will include the root and unroot files. That way to root it is one click and to put to stock is one click. Thanks for testing this out for me!

This is an All-in-One package to Root and install CWM Recovery or to UnRoot and install the stock recovery. I have spent many hours trying to modify this to be as easy as possible for all to accomplish their goals whether by modding or returning to stock.
What is This?
This is an exploit built by the Revolutionary team, that was ported to the Esteem by djrbliss, then I was able to fix permissions and install su and superuser. The exploit is not built by me, rather by the Revolutionary guys. This zip contains the proper drivers for the Revolution, all root files, and the Root&Recovery.bat file. The .bat has been modified to fix ANY of the problems people are having with root, and will make it so that CWM will stick through reboot. It installs the newest versions of the su binary and Superuser.apk. It will also install ClockWorkMod Recovery also (no need to run RevoToolkit anymore). The unroott will uninstall and delete the su binary and remove Superuser.apk. It will also remove CWM and install the stock ZV7 recovery.img. If there are any problems, just let me know.

Guys I'm trying to get back to 100% to get Gingerbread. I was able to get follow the steps from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326347
I got the stock ROM and recovery back, I was able to search and download the first update, but I cannot find the gingerbread update.
And I still have Root and none of the programs seem to work to unroot it, they always get stuck at psneuter or whatever.
I ran this program and it removed root but during the process it showed a lot of "Failed"s
Still cannot find the Gingerbread update under "about phone---->software update---->check new. Says no update available. Anyone help me out?

I just wanted to see what i might be doing wrong...
I can't get the root.bat to recognize the device, I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled, but still am not able to see device ( I can see drives if I set to mass storage, so I know I am connected)
The Revo is brand new out of the box from VZW and froyo ver 2.2.2. Do I need to be on a different OS ver. to get this to work ?
Thanks in advance.

It should work on 2.2, but 2.3 is out, so I would try to get the update first.
Make sure USB debugging is enabled.

Thanks for getting me in the right area guys. Sorry, wasn't trying to cause any problems.
I have tried the one click version with mt and it never took. Mt even tried doing it for me. I have enabled debugging and dollars each step to the last detail.
I have also tried superoneclick with no success on the install. I'm unaware of how to do it manually.

Have you tried a different computer? Even doing it the manual way will require the same exploit, and more than likely will result in the same outcome.

What method of root did you use? And check your app drawer for revo tool kit then you need to download the clockwork mod recovery check what recovery you have if it isn't the 4.0.0.2-pr1 then you need to click on to install that if it didn't go through the first time keep trying but do not reboot after it says it successfully installed hit the menu soft key And reboot in to recovery once you are in there make a back up by going to the backup And restore part And choose back up after you should wipe your data by going to format system INSIDE CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY not from inside your phone settings for gingervolt you need to put the zip on your external sd card so that means not the one that says internal place it on the root ( main portion) not in folder then reboot into recovery (if you had to boot to put ginger volt on your sd) the same way as before then go to install zip from sd card choose the gingervolt zip nitty the install update.zip option select yes let it install then reboot.. Also in clockwork recovery you use to volume keys to navigate up And down And the power button to select

Am I supposed to download these items with my phone or when it is hooked up to my computer? I used allinoneclick by my. Worked great. I am an extreme noob with this so thanks for walking me through these steps. I do not have the tool kit in my apps

If you rooted with mts all in one click that has cwm sticking just go into it manually. I always download everything to the phone directly makes it easier for me.
How do I get into clockwork mod? I installed and hit recovery. Whenever I hit the menu key, the more option is not there. I'm so confused

Best way to check you have cwm download revotool kit and check that way. If it says you have it then you can reboot from revo toolkit.

Did you make sure that cwm was installed? That's what it sounds like.
How do I check that?
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
Its been a while since I have been in the toolkit. There should be a button somewhere that says check recovery or something like that. You could go to the revo toolkit page and look at what the OP put on there sorry I can't really help to much on that.

I flashed stock rom using rsd lite
RSD LITE 5.6: http://db.tt/y23vQ3Td
Using this zip: http://db.tt/hBFdk3qv
ROOTED AND 4EVER ROOTED MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS IF YOU WANT ROOT[I always root stock instead of .893 fnr(for no reason)]
BOOT INTO STOCK RECOVERY
FIRST FLASH .893: http://db.tt/vfNEdVdf
THEN .902: http://db.tt/g0gm69Hq
REBOOT
enjoi
If your already on .893 just flash .902 in STOCK RECOVERY NOT CWM
FOR SUPER NOOBS
Flashing to stock
Extract the flashme.zip to the desktop
Open RSD Lite and click on the ... symbol
In the box, go to desktop and choose "default_flash_targa"
Put your phone in Fastboot Mode

I did unr3l3as3droot and forever root first. Then I did the path saver. Then I flashed 896 and 901. After that, I downloaded the 902 ota but didn't install it. Moved it from /cache to the external SD card. Then I turned the phone off. To turn it back on, I hit both volume up and down as I powered it back on. That took me to a different menu that I can't currently think of the name but that is where you will flash 902 at. Remember that the 902 update has 901 in its file name when flashing. If you come across a triangle thing, hit volume up and down and the update will flash.

Easier root method...
There is an easier way then this now...
1. Install update
2. Use the Droid 4 exploit found at vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/ and yes it works for the Bionic on 5.9.902 (i just got done using it)
3. Look at your phone.... its now rooted.
And everyone who uses it should donate to djrbliss and prove that the Android community can support such a valuable asset!

I just did the OTA over wireless and did the update and I kept ROOT.
I did un-froze all the apps I had frozen with titanium backup before applying the update.
Still have root...
In my case, the update wouldn't install. I had to go all the way back before I could go forward.

If you lose root during the update, see here to get it back.
here is a nandroid backup I made with all of the VZW and most of the LG stock apps removed to free up space. (ROM is rooted)
Directions:
1. Download file to SD Card
2. Unzip to External SDCard in /clockworkmod/backup/
3. reboot into CWM
4. go to backup and restore
5. select advanced restore
6. Then select the backup you just downloaded
7. select Restore system
