Used P3's 1-click to get back on the upgrade path and take my phone to 901 and lost root. I was rooted prior with forever root applied. The script appeared to run fine and 901 was applied with the phone running okay ... except root is no longer there. Titanium ran okay prior. All other things about the phone work great ... 4G does appear to be a bit more responsive.
One thing of note was that during the script when zergRush was being applied I remember seeing a "Hellions with BLUE flame" popped up in the script.
Any help will be appreciated.
Mine did the same thing. Are you sure you were rooted before with forever root? And are you sure you dont have super user?

I definitely had root prior to the 1-click ... I have been running Titanium Backup for a few months now. And yes, I still have SuperUser on my phone.
If you go to P3s post at MDW, realbbb has a download on page 4 that works perfectly. I simply ran his script straight over the results ofP3's script and had no issues whatsoever.

Were you on 901 when you reran the bbb script over the top of p3's? I'm assuming "reran over the top" means no additional pushes, etc., just used the bbb batch file instead.
Yes realbbb's fixed script will work if run again over the BionicPathSaver. Be sure you have unzipped his BPS fix.zip into the same directory and use the runmebbb.bat file.

Thanks CZ.
Strange thing happening now. When the bbb batch tries to push the first files over to the sd I'm getting an "error:device not found".
I've got the latest Moto drivers installed. Even uninstalled and reinstalled. Using USB cable that was shipped with the phone. USB debug is definitley on. Phone is definitely set to charge only.The device was recognized before when I did the P3 1-click.
Win7-64 bit recognizes the phone and the sd-ext card when I change to mass storage. I've tried to manually push files and same error.
adb shell command works. cd /data/local works along with the ls command of what's in those directories. Just won't allow a push.
EDIT: Well, I dusted off the old stone knives and bear skins and loaded up XP from the dual boot. Put the Moto drivers on there and Bam, I'm in. Guess my Win 7 64 bit has some old Moto driver bits floating around somewhere ... or perhaps just a bit of preanimate matter caught in the matrix. Either way ... 901 update has a few more minutes on its install. Thanks again.
i'll be giving this a try.
i used the 1click upgrade path (which don't get me wrong is AMAZING!) but i'm really, really surprised that there's no warning of loosing root access.
5.9.901 does seem to have fixed ALOT for me though and i know i'll have root again soon...
anyone using the one click coming from a version of 5.7.893 without the webtop?
I've seen posts of people without the webtop getting stuck in bootloops
Worked for me and restored Web top.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I rebooted the phone when I got the error:device not found, and head no troubles afterwards.
I bootlooped when coming from 5.7.893 with no webtop. I flashed back with released & forever root. Then, BPS. Lost root at that put.
So, if you have 5.7.893 flash back to 5.5.893, then do realbbb's BPS fix and you should be good.

If you guys hold off on the 2.2 OTA, ill have a pre-rooted .zip to install (will work no matter what version your on ) 7 minutes ago via web
got mine lastnight
Something about a cache error. I had to .sbf to get the update. So everything is fine now with 2.2. Now for the Droid 2 root method.
so if im rooted on regular 2.1 will it work out ok? i uninstalled kindle app and blockbuster and a few minor other ones. is that an issue?
I have a buddy with a Droid X which we rooted and then removed lots of the bloatware. He is having the same issue. I'm in this thread for the fix
As with the leaks you need to replace anything you removed from system or you take a chance of bricking. There seems to be a problem using the 2.1 .sbf after trying to run the ota so be very careful if you removed anything put it all back to be safe. My 2 cents

Hey guys, i'm not rooted and updated using three file process to get to system version 5.7.893 only to realize that my webtop was there but not working or as they say broken. A known problem in the three fill update process. I kept reading you have to revet to stock via the method posted and then use the single update file package of 54mb to have webtop again.
I didn't want to do that because the process wipes the phone. So i downloaded the single file blur.....5.5.886.XT875 which is supposed to bring you to 5.7.893 after reverting to stock in order to have webtop. Put it on sd and booted in recovery and told it update from sd card.
It went smoothly. So now i have a software version i was really loving because my phone was running smoothly on 7.893 but now i also have webtop again. Version 1 it says.
And i confirmed i was on 5.7.893 before trying this. So i'm not sure it will work for everyone, but according to the instructions given, i didn't have to go through all of that.
If i'm going to run into problems in the future - someone alet me. If not i hope it works for other. Love my webtop.
If someone already posted this somewhere, sorry. Be easy on me
Didn't work for me. Got asert error. Are you sure you ever lost webtop?

yes i am very certain that i lost it. when i was sitting on ver. 5.5893 webtop was very unstable. then when i got up to 7.893 it was gone. i could not access it from the drop down menue when on the dock nothing. i am quite certain it was gone. i battery pull etc etc and nothing there was no option to run it from anywhere. i tried several times. It is curious though that i can install the one package file even with no revert and after already installing the three separate files and you can't. i ran it again last night and it installed just fine again so idk.
For convenience sake, I have compiled the Motofail rooter into a single exe file (for use on builds with a GB-based kernel). I have also compiled the ICS root exploit into a single exe file as well (for builds based on a true ICS kernel). No code has been changed, and all credit goes to Dan Rosenberg (@djrbliss).
Universal Gingerbread (GB) Rooter: Download HERE (virus free)
Universal Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) Rooter: Download HERE (virus free)
These rooters have been tested and working on Droid 3, Droid Bionic, Droid RAZR, Droid 4, even on the latest ROM releases like the 5.9.905 for the Bionic and the official/cheesecake ICS leaks. Please make sure you use the right rooter, one is for GB and the other is for ICS. These will work on the official OTA releases as well as any custom ROMs.
If needed, the latest Motorola USB PC drivers can be downloaded here:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
So I'm almost ready to use this but I do need to know if there is a way to unroot back to stock on the .902 root.

No, this is nothing more than the standard motofail, it is just compiled into a single EXE file now. I created it because I had people asking me how to use Motofail. One guy asked me what file he runs, or if he copies the files into his sytem of his phone **yikes**, so I made this just for convenience sake (it only runs on Windows, so it should be pretty clear).
Thanks crobs! This is a great idea. I want to let you know I've added it to my step-by-step guide, which I hope will be helpful for anyone who is unsure how to use this tool to root their phone.
wow ok i thought this was self explainatory run .batch file i guess people have never used a one click root exploit wouldn't know but this was by far the easiest root method other than odin of coarse

A lot of people find this website when they want to do something specific with their phone. The majority of them do not know what a batch file is. The devs on here have a lot of good information but spit it out at a high level, expecting people to just "know" a ton of information right off the .bat (pun intended)
I am simply trying to bridge the gap, as you can probably infer from my practical/layman-term tutorials.

I would be happy to rebuild it, however what file are you referring to? I thought I packaged the latest version, and I never saw anything about it working on the Xoom to begin with. Feel free to enlighten me though because once it worked on my Bionic, I stopped researching.

thanks and I have a question. adb is broken on my Bionic and has been for months that's why I haven't updated until now because all root exploits until recently have utilized adb and for some reason, my adb on my Bionic is broken except for adb wireless, so does Motofail use adb at any point during its process? i mean it kinda has to doesn't it? I don't know I've never known how the root programs work step by step, its just most i've ever used have used adb, except on my Droid Eris I had a one-click root.

i think you need adb
i got my adb working. I updated my phone to .902 on a hunch that it might fix my adb and it worked. I ran motofail and this is what i got
[*] Deploying payload...
cannot stat 'motofail': No such file or directory
Unable to chmod /data/local/motofail: No such file or directory
[*] Owning phone...
/data/local/motofail: not found
[*] Rebooting device...
[*] Waiting for phone to reboot.
actually.....my phone didn't update which is weird. it got stuck in a bootloop and so i went into factory recovery and factory reset it, and it went back to .886. but I got it forever rooted so hopefully it will be able to update successfully from here

OK all, I really messed up my phone, first I could not get it to restore using RSD but finally got that figured out, but now no matter which method I use I can't get root back on it. I get permission errors when trying to push su & busybox using dhacker29 bionic pathsaver. I have pushed different restore file versions on 902 right now, and even tried to restore to an earlier version using Bionic Pathsaver and they all fail to push. The phone us up right now on 902 but there has to be something hanging around mucking it up.
Is there anything I can do or am I pretty much screwed. At lease I have it up and running and things work, so it is not a total loss. Just no root.
Thanks

I've encountered this problem before. First did you try MotoFail? If you did and it still doesn't root, you have to go to Stock 5.8.886. Run R3l3AS3DRoot and 43V3R Root. And if you want to update go here.
Did try motofail
I did try motofail and it did not complete and think that may be my problem, the phone works but it never end the routine and gives me the PASS. On the second link I have been trying to get into it for the last several hours but it is dead. R3l3AS3DRoot and 43V3R Root
(http://r3l3as3droot.th3oryrom.us.to/R3l3AS3DRoot_Windows_V2.1.zip). does anyone know where I can get the file.

You may also have to use path saver. R3l3as3DRoot and for3v3r root took me back, but left out some necessary files needed for the updates. Running path saver put the necessary files back in.

As the title states, I rooted my revolution, but I can no longer access it via lgpnst or anything that uses adb, so I'm stuck. I have been trying to find something to update to v8 or v9 using clockworkmod (4.0.0.2), but it appears that everything being suggested requires me to have access with adb. No matter what I try, attempts to access through adb result in "device not found", or "waiting for device".
I did try a factory reset, which got me stuck in a clockworkmod reboot loop, when I used exitrecovery to fix that. If there is any sort of update or fix to be applied from clockworkmod, that would be great. At this point, I just want to get away from this ridiculous forced download and reboot process that just makes this device harder to use.
Any suggestions?
Flash a TOT with LGPNST, either ZV8 or ZV9, and you will be golden.

This is the hurdle.
Oops. My bad. Missed that and focused on the mentions of ADB.
Edit: Have you tried different cables, computers, operating systems (XP for instance), or drivers? Also, make sure there are no other instances of adb on the computer. I have read that can cause problems too.

You mean the OTA update? That can be disabled either by Titanium or a root explorer.

I have tried all of the drivers I could find, and all of the different cables sitting around my place with no success. Right now, I don't have access to xp at home, but now I'm thinking there might be something to do with the system I've been using at home (which also runs windows 7 x64). When plugging my phone into my work computer (which runs xp), I got a usb modem prompt. There may be hope if I use a virtual machine at home.
I haven't looked into the titanium backup or root explorer, so that will happen this evening. Thanks for the suggestion.
Score! Thanks for getting me to think about the system again. I removed all of the drivers, created another administrator user account, and then logged into it and connected the phone... poof! I was prompted! I installed the drivers, and then it appeared in lgnpst! A short couple of uploads, and I'm there.
Awesome. Glad you got it going!
