I had to swap my phone, forever rooted on 5.5.886 said it passed, updated to 5.6.893, 5.6.893mr1, and 5.7.893, now I lost root. Tried forever root, Petes one click root, nothing works. Superuser is still there. I know it did work, because I used bionic bootstrap before updating the system files. What can I do??

Tivo, and I dont mind saying this, I <3 you.
Thank you sir!!!
Curious, is this considered a forever root? Not that last forever root lasted more than a few minutes....

Can we root 5.6.894? My girlfriend let the ota happen and the d3 lost root. It was previously rooted and i have a nandroid backup after root and bone stock. Can i revert it back or is there more to it than that?

5.6? Yes you can just reroot?
I beleave they fixed the patch to root it on the update. Download rootkeeper from the market.

they fixed the exploit in 5.7.894, but its still open in 5.6.890
Looks like you might have to SBF the phone back to 5.6, root it, apply perm root, and go from there… it's going to be a pain, but it'll get you back to being rooted.

Jason, have you tried DooMLoRD's root method yet? (Filename DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip)
(I believe currently it is at version 3.0 and it can be found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653)

May wanna try the new super-one-click. It was just updated with some new methods.
43v3r rooted on 902. I still have root. Safestrap works but is not installed at the moment. Any ideas?

Use motofail
Sent from my XT875 using XDA App
I have root. Isn't motofail for rooting? I didn't loose root. All my other root apps work and root checker verifies that I am rooted.

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

Feel free to message me with any questions. I hope this will help people to get rid of the Bloatware the easiest and still remain stock.
Im assuming this requires being on zv8 in some form? Or can you flash it over zv7?
you have to be on ZV8 already
is the rom pre rooted? thanks in advance

yes ROM is still rooted
I was asking because I can't update to zv8 for some reason. Only way I've found so far at all is flashing the tot for it.

Flash the tot then restore this backup

Flash which tot? I was under the impression that you can't get rooted zv8 by flashing the tot, only by doing the aio and doing the ota update.

yeppers, was browsing the moto bionic forums and noticed all the chatter over it, checked on mine for updates and its d/l now.
Just did a check for update and there it was, downloading as we speak. Sweet.
One step closer to ICS .
Whelp, after installing lost all data connectivity! LOL!!
Rebooted into stock recovery, cleared cache, reboot - got 3g would not switch to 4g
Cleared all app cache via TiPro, reboot - 4g back and all seems fine. We'll see.
FWIW: Was rooted and had applied "forever root", verified kept root after update. Also had some bloat frozen.
OTA Fails
I've tried twice to update my Bionic with the OTA and it has failed. Has anyone been successful updating their Bionic OTA rooted? If not do I need to un-root and then do the update?

You need to get VooDoo app to backup root then temp. unroot. If you have any stock apps that you have frozen through TB then you need to restore them back to OG state. Your Bionic needs to be on complete Stock 902 in order for update to apply. Also if you have any trouble still uninstall Bootstrap recovery or SafeStrap recovery which ever one you use. Now if you have deleted any of the Stock apps then you will have to FXZ back to complete Stock 902 which I am sure you can find the links in the treads on how to get that done.
.905 sucked for me! I was stuck on no data oe 3G for 24 hrs/ no thnks
already back on .902 and happy

If you removed or froze bloatware, the OTA will fail.
Verify that forever root will keep root on update to .905?
Can anyone else verify that they have successfully kept root with forever root from .902 to .905?
As of midday yesterday, I did not see the OTA.
Today I switched to unsafe and found the OTA message. It was installed painlessly. I had problems but finally got back root, and installed Safestrap. Should I see how well .905 works, try to restore Eclipse 2.2 and see how it works, or download and try Eclipse 3.x?
Is this the same file as the previously released 905 files?

Even if you don't keep root through the update, just run the motofail exploit again. Confirmed working on .905

Updated, forever root kept root just fine.

Does anyone have a good link to .902 FXZ ? All I"m finding is links to download via Google Docs and it takes like an hour to download.......
Updated even with quite a bit frozen and it worked fine.... kept root. Honestly I forgot to thaw out stuff first, but it worked anyways.

I have stock 902 installed with root...only thing I have modified was I used Rom Toolbox to install a lockscreen theme. Been trying to do the OTA update and keep getting Assert failed, I have tried factory resetting...Have not frozen or removed any bloatware.
I am thinking I should just revert back to complete stock without root but I would like to know if thats even neccesary before I go that route.
G+ has now appeared
I may have to root now.
