Check the thread below. And if your phone has v20b press that. There are all the information you need. Just search for the right thing and you will find the answer.

There are different methods, some more simple, what version you have?
if you mean andriod version... I have 2.2.2
Look for UPK 3.6 and from there you can root with Blackjack.
After the root process you won`t lose anything but the warranty.
Okay, will do. Thanks heaps!
rooting your phone is dangerous but once you have done it, you will get a chance to try different roms. In short, Its fun!!!

This question should have been posted in the General section. Anyway, you apparently haven't even begun to read the sticky posts in this forum because you would have found the answers.
Unlocking your hboot is the first step. Now you can use either the Downgrade tool in the General section or the HTC IncS tool 3.3.0.1 in this section.
Yep, as tpbklake said read the stickies on the general forum, they will give you your answer, the gave me an answer when I didn't know anyway
And what happened to the 10 post rule??

4. Go to here and download the recovery image for the Incredible S. Put it in the "android" folder along with the other files needed for HTC's unlock process, above. This file is the ClockWorkMod recovery image for the IncS.

I guess the fact that he has been a member for so long must have allowed him to post in DEV.
I just wanted to post in here telling this guy how he was f***ed but it seems as though everyone else has taken him down a notch already. Glad to see people are posting about him and not to him. : )

Hi all,
Is there a way of rooting a RAZRi without unlocking the bootloader?\
I'm on Retail Brazil Latal Jellybean 4.1.2

Not at the moment. Devs do not look into it since it is possible to get root via unlocking the BL, which is sad
how about we start a "petition"? Cause by looking at the views of this threat it seems like people ARE interested in a solution but the devs are not looking into it because they think that noone needs it.
Any thoughts about this?

I was just about to post this question. I agree, the sheer number of views reflects the interest in this method.
I disagree that Moto updating would patch putting off devs - in all the years that I've owned Android phones with different manufacturers, that never put off any devs that I spoke with. Many acknowledged that it was getting harder but they never gave up. Then, someone would find a 'one root for all on this firmware for many phones' which completely override the manufacturer's 'patch'.
As for the petition...I have seen contributions to projects work. If it's a matter of pledging small donations I'd be happy to contribute, I have in the past. I'm not totally sure on the rules on this, they have changed I think. Another issue is that I believe it is Dan Rosenberg who is usually successful with Moto devices so he may be the best man for the job.
Even using an unlocked bootloader, finding information and sharing it on RSD Lite is difficult. Try Googling it: I cannot find a good, comprehensive guide that could be offered to newbies. You can find pieces on how to use it and where to find files, that's it. With the only root solution on Jelly Bean being using an unlocked bootloader, this RAZR i section fills with more bricked phones day after day after day...Any simpler root solution would go a long way to avoiding this.

well reading word by word more than one time, knowing what you are doing, straight following the instructions step by step and asking if you are unsure will avoid bricked phones, too.
Most of the bricked phone owners here read the wrong instruction or flashed the wrong files, cause they did not read word by word or did not ask when they were unsure doing the right things.
Just have a look through the threads: they mostly tried to root or flash with ics-files over JB....

I already wrote couple emails to D. Rosenberg and he immediately got back to me but his answer was a no. He is not going to look into getting root without unlocking the BL since there is a "perfectly viable manufacturer-supported unlock mechanism" (BL unlock)
The Reason i've posted yesterday, but no one was listening. He already stated that he won't root an unlockable Device, when there was the discussion about rooting the XT910/XT912 (JB).

I read German poorly now but the first seems to be instructions. I know there are many sets of instructions but I haven't found comprehensive guides that really go through what the software is, what all of it's capabilities are, what should not be done. For example, people keep using RSD Lite on here, downgrading Android version then getting a bricked phone. Why isn't that included in instruction guides? We need to know everything we can and can't do to avoid bricks.
Please, if you are know much about could you write a short guide of what you can do and what not to do?

Ah ha. That is a shame.
Rooting is still safer for the average user I think than unlocking the bootloader.
The problem with using RSD Lite is that it is hard to find a friendly nooby guide for everyone. Everyone says 'use it' then laugh at you when you brick your phone.
Hi guys,
so I read an article this morning that the folks from Lookout rooted the google glass via the exploit discovered by bluebox : Android security bug 8219321
It should be possible to get root on the Razr I with this exploit, does anyone know if someone is working on that?
Still by telling from the view of this threat people are really interested in getting su without unlocking the BL.
Help

That's the whole idea of a Q&A.. With every new (original) question the knowledge database grows. This allows other people to just search through the threads to find their answer. It's actually an easier way to find answers then creating a new thread, since you don't have to wait for reactions and usually the follow up questions are already elaborately discussed..
On topic: I believe some superusers have an option to unroot? And otherwise just reflashing stock is just as easy.

Alright then i renamed the thread. Because my question is about walkaround reflashing and unlocking bootloader.
Is it possible simply to root and unroot without reflashing and unlocking ?
When you root phone your root file is on system partition and you need to format it If you want to remove root.Hard reset don't format partition so that won't work.Update software should work but I am not sure.SuperS have ability to remove itself so if you root your phone with it you can done it fastest way.Also don't be smartass and mock people who are telling you to search for answer before posting topic and asking for help.It I is not polite.After all you are asking for help from us not the way around.

on topic: So i am on latest 4.1.2 if i force the support tool (from LG) will it reflash the phone with stock frimware after root ?
As i remember i read somewhere that actually it is possible to use some kind of "upgrade recovery" option with this tool which reflash phone.
off topic: Im not playing it smartass i've searched and couldn't find what i need to know. then i posted this thread.
So maybe someone should check if a thread exist actually without beign too lazy. before saying that he's sick of people.
And also renamed my thread to be more suitable to people who will be searching.

@tuncay93 in LG update tool should be option "force update" or something like that.BTW I think easiest method is just to flesh.dz file since it will format system partition for sure and you need only drivers that you must install even if you want to update regularly your software.Download SuperSu it should replace your current root app and then from SuperSu choose "remove SuperSu" .That is all I can think off.

Really? Simon is a long time member and he know what he's talking about. He might sound a bit mean sometimes but he's right!
I for myself created like one thread asking a question and the other things I sorted out myself with brief searching, reading and trying.
This question here has been answered already.
You're asking how to unroot without flashing back the stock ROM or unlocking bootloader.
It has been answered in this thread as well and a search (not just on XDA but on Google as well) would've get you to the same answers.
Simon can't tell you where to post and where not but he does as he is trying to get newer or ignorant XDA members to follow the rules.
And one of those rules is to search.
Not just a five minute look but a brief search even in related threads etc.
You won't learn anything by just asking and asking again but by trying and figuring out yourself.
So please do us a favor and stop posting unnecessary questions.

1.By the first few words you said i suspect that you define the pople by their registration date at XDA.
2. I didn't found answer to my question thats why i made thread. [Ans. It is actually possible SuperSu will remove root [not sure what kind of remove but still....[ Flashing with support tool is the way but is still flashing]
3. I am not ignorant and new at XDA. I am new to 4x HD section. Also without reading and asking you can't learn anything. Thats the point of the forum.
4. And i think it was necessary question. Since i've searched and couldn't find what i needed to know.
Finding related threads about "How to root", "How to unroot" all say just unlock reflash and relock. Why ? I've just find out today that i can simply run support tool and all will be fine. (Also mine is 446-92 FW I'm not sure if relockable yet.)
Also that standing behind someone just because he says few words that he has read at "Rules" In wrong place....
And just because its old member it's not cool mate im sorry but thats what i think.
Now if moderators think this is unnecesery thread can remove it.

Ye thats what i find out today theres walkaround for flashing and unlocking bootloader.
In lg support tool click options then upgrade recovery and you are good to go for warranty or whatever you need it for.

Let's get behind this rules etc thing but if you'd read more about root function and flashing a stock firmware you would've know that root is installed in system and that a simple reflash unroots your system.
That's what I mean with reading and understanding the way your modified android device works.
I don't know if it's just me but I did know nearly everything about root before even bothering to root my device just in case if something goes wrong I exactly know what to do.
The answers are out there. Most questions can be solved by searching but many users don't do it or they don't have enough knowledge of Android to understand the given output of their searches.
And no I don't define people by their registration date but by the way they post on XDA.
And I'm not supporting Simon because he has said a few words about rules. I'm supporting him because he's been a long time member and follows the rules.
And sorry but if somebody is criticizing your thread in a forum like XDA and you're responding with "STFU" shows me that you're ignorant and lacking respect.
The fact that Simon is doing this is to keep people from posting 10 threads about the same question (like they tend to do) but search and know what they are doing.
The problem with the community is that most new users just follow tutorials but don't know what to do if something goes wrong (and believe me there always will be something that goes wrong) and then they create threads like "help I bricked my 4X HD".
Like I said if you'd know what rooting actually does inside your device you'd know what to do with information you get when you search for unroot.
Let's assume you are a new user and you now install SuperSU and somehow it messes something up.
What will you do? Do you know enough to mess with an android device? I really don't want you to take it personal but that's the way you should think about it.
And I have one question: Why do you want to unroot your device without reflashing stock firmware and think that unlocking boot loader would be necessary to unroot?
(and just one hint: it's not "walkaround" but workaround what you mean I guess)

And I'm not supporting Simon because he has said a few words about rules. I'm supporting him because he's been a long time member and follows the rules.
And sorry but if somebody is criticizing your thread in a forum like XDA and you're responding with "STFU" shows me that you're ignorant and lacking respect.
The fact that Simon is doing this is to keep people from posting 10 threads about the same question (like they tend to do) but search and know what they are doing.
The problem with the community is that most new users just follow tutorials but don't know what to do if something goes wrong (and believe me there always will be something that goes wrong) and then they create threads like "help I bricked my 4X HD".
Like I said if you'd know what rooting actually does inside your device you'd know what to do with information you get when you search for unroot.
Let's assume you are a new user and you now install SuperSU and somehow it messes something up.
What will you do? Do you know enough to mess with an android device? I really don't want you to take it personal but that's the way you should think about it.
And I have one question: Why do you want to unroot your device without reflashing stock firmware and think that unlocking boot loader would be necessary to unroot?
(and just one hint: it's not "walkaround" but workaround what you mean I guess)

Okey I know what Root is. I have been rooting and unlocking all my phones i've used to switch roms. (I know that reflashing is the solution)
But the problem is as i said my 4x HD isn't EUR-XXX it's 446-92 (Asian one i suspect)
So unlocking is possible but couldn't really find info about relocking.
And i was in need of workaround as you said (My english is not good) Because my power button its not responsive and the phone still has warranty and that button its going to brick it keeps going more and more unresponsive.
So i didn't wanted to unlock and reflash because i may void my warranty in that case i still need it.

You don't need to unlock anything in order to reflash the stock firmware with LG Support Tool.
That's what I was talking about. You don't know this because you didn't read enough about this device.
And about your warranty: if you'd search in that topic you may acknowledge that rooting doesn't void your warranty in most places as long as the failure (in your case the power button) isn't related to the slight software modification.

Ye but i know here in my country all warranty providers are just looking for something that may void it and just root will void it i am sure.
But never thought support tool works after rooting or modification on software. i did not even think about searching for that you are right now.

Ok, first watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
I mean it seriously watch it then come back. Done? OK let's move on.
As you might have guessed, you have posted in the wrong section. Questions and help goes in the General forum for your device, this is development where people post their work. Also there are 2 or 3 threads in this section which explain how to root your device. So I recommend searching before posting. I will not post your solution, because you have to find it yourself, it's not hard at all (otherwise you and other new guys will never learn it and always keep asking the same questions over and over again)
XV 4.4?
