It will tell you how to get root in v8. You cannot actually root v8 yet but you can maintain root from v7 to v8.
i have tried to do this but when i do none of the downloads work it says that the website has had a lot of traffic and is currently down.

I've been viewing these forums for quite sometime just never posted before. I was one of the people with the LG Revolution that lost the Super One Click Root when the OOA Update hit over the summer.
I have SU still installed and its been updated even though I can not gain root access and since I do not have root access I am unable to uninstall it. I have tried the One Click Root Tool for the LG Esteem after upgrading to GB. It say's that its completed but Root Check denies the fact it is rooted.
I tried Super One Click and it states the device is in fact rooted but when I try to use any root access apps it states "Unable to write". Any ideas on why it still wont allow the root to edit the read/write access for my device?
Thank you,
Mike
hey :9 I'm having the same issue. Heres to hoping someone figures it out

I'm from the Esteem side and some people were having the same problem after the superuser unroot fiasco and people couldn't re-root with the original one click because it did not clear the old su. Check over on Android forums/Esteem/All things root section. It was fixed by adding a few command lines to the script to clear the old su and give you the new su and binaries. HTH

Ty this worked wonders! I found it rather fast. Only problem with this guys batch is the fact you have to manually reboot your device for it to work. After I rebooted my apps were asking for SU access!
Here is a link for anyone else suffering from the unable to root because of SU already locked on your device.
androidforums.com/esteem-all-things-root/435750-one-click-root-updated-final-w-superuser-3-0-6-binary-3-0-3-download.html
Just remember after you've run the batch file to unplug your device and reboot.
Okay guys my friend updated and he still has super-user, but it does not work.
I ran superoneclick newest version, it said it was rooted. I rebooted manually and his phone was stuck at the Droid anamation screen,
I finally figured out our to factory restore Power+x, then at the ! Trianlge with phone; hit power up and camera.
I restored it, rebooted and he still has super-user. So i tested it with root check and titanium back-up, did not work. I unroot with superoneclick and it does nothing.
So I came here and started reading I found out that 1.7 is needed to root. My question is will it still root even though super-user is already installed, but not working?
Verizon Droid A855
2.2.3
Buildnumber is : frk76
Baseband is c_01.43.01p
Thanks for any help.
No one has done this or has knowledge?

I have had the same problem. Even superuser was denied superuser permission. Go figure. I am eager to hear if anyone knows how to get back to root.

Have you tried superoneclick 1.7 rageinthecage exploit? I read it will root the firmware. What I have not read is people who had root lost it and re-rooted. I know someone here has to know, this I would think It would be a common issue with the og droids.
For some reason I can't find anything on it.

A while back I had a update and when I updated it removed my root, but I still had superuser. I did a system restore and rerooted fine. Recently the Milestone X got a gingerbread update and I wasn't updating because I was hearing that a lot of people were having problems with their rooting and wireless tether afterwards. A couple nights ago I accidentally hit the update button and now system restore doesn't bring it back to the original OS. Looking into this currently. I will post again if I find a way to get this working.
There is a simple, one-click re-root app from the market that lets you quickly re-root after the OTA update. Of course, you have to be rooted first.
Before doing your OTA, download the free app "ota rootkeeper" from the market. Run this BEFORE the OTA, and it'll stash away a copy of all your root stuff. Then, after the OTA, go back to the app, and with one click, re-rooted! Lots of phones it won't work on, but it DOES work on the Droid 3!
Worked perfectly for me, re-rooting after the OTA. Neall
Just wanted to confirm for other users that if you updated to frk76 firmware. On 2.2..3 and were rooted. Supeoneclick. 1.7 will. Re root even if superuser is showing up.
Download 1.7 superoneclick
Run rageagaintsthecage exploit.
If it locks up, turn usb debugging off then back on. ( ie have the window open). I had to do it.
Re boot and good to go.

I rooted my XT890 which is on 4.0.4. I don't know what it's called that I used to root it with and I don't have the same exact download link but it's the only one on the internet that doesn't require you to flash anything.
So I ran that and I thought I had my phone rooted. The major problem is that most apps that require root privileges don't work. The only root app that works is busybox. On other ones, the superuser permission prompt will pop up and will I press "allow". Then, it will say "[whatever program] has been granted superuser permissions". After that, whatever superuser requiring app I'm using will go to an error the same way it would on a completely stock un-rooted phone.
Will buying superuser elite fix it?
Will un-rooting and re-rooting by flashing a homemade fastboot fix it? If so, how do I un-root?
Can anybody help?
Did you solve your problem?

Hi, obviously we had a similar problem (
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42529975#post42529975) and I am not sure about how to tackle the problem. Did you find a solution for your rooting problem? If yes I am curious how you solved it.
Cheers

Nope I never figured it out.
It seems that most superuser apps aren't compatible with x86 Android unless the developers have specifically taken steps to solve it. Since RAZR i users make up an incredibly small amount of android users, almost no one bothers to make their root apps work.

That link above will install you cwm if you don't already have it then with that you can flash either the RAZR I Root or RAZR I Root 2 .zip... It just depends which one is for your ROM and I didn't link because I couldn't find it or have it bookmarked anymore but if you find it and flash it through cwm it will definitely work

If su is still there (/system/bin/su or /system/xbin/su), all you need is SuperSU, which you can install from the Play store. (Without an "su-ish" app, apps can't get root, even though su is installed.) If su isn't still there you'll have to root again.

No, if SuperSU is still there and you don't get root, the su binry is evidently missing. That mans that you have to root all over again. (You need to be rooted to install the su binary, which you aren't, so ... which is why rooting uses an exploit [a different one in each line of phones] to get temporary root so it can install su to get permanent root.)

i have tried with odin but it keeps failing should i use the kingo root insted ?
at this stage what would be the best way to re-root
thanks in advance
Are you following these instructions? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
Everyone else seems to report that this method for getting root works.
Kingo root works (though some people don't like Kingo)
Also - always freeze OTA update app after you root, otherwise you'll lose root with every OTA update.
If you're expecting an OTA update, you can unfreeze the app, then use SuperSU survival mode, then let it update, and then turn off survival mode to get root back. But ofc it's too late for that now in your case.

Kingo is fine. The Heimdall and Odin one is a pain in the but and risky. Mostly for restoring. I used kingo and its just fine. If you mess up then you can go to that other link and restore with or without root.

Hi, I need to downgrade from kitkat to gingerbread in order to make Barclays pingit work. I tried many things but the damn app to my disgust won't work on rooted phones. Is it just a matter of using ODIN? And which gingerbread ROM should I use? Can you please send me some links thanks! :crying:
Have you tried temporary unrooting from the superSU/Superuser options then installing the app.

Hi, thanks for the reply, when I install SuperSU it tells me I need to update binary SU by doing a manual Re-root? What does it mean?
Just flash this in recovery http://download.chainfire.eu/370/Sup...erSU-v1.80.zip download link is at bottom of page.
EDIT: here's the latest update at bottom of page http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
Thank you, I flashed it, went to SuperSu, did the full un-root, it worked as the app disappeared but the damn Barclays app still finds the root and wont work...is there any other way around it? Or downgrading...
Found this but you need to install the 'Xposed Framework'' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577095
Thanks but I've already downgraded to stock rom, did what I had to do with Barclays Pingit and re upgraded to kitkat again...now I won't be doing this crap anymore, I will just buy a cheap 2nd hand mob, install the almighty Barclays apps and use that when needed...easy...:cyclops:
Yeah probably a better idea until the almighty Barclays app gets an update so customers can use it on rooted phone, but tbh i can't see that happening anytime soon.

You could install xposed and use root cloak. Apps that don't work if you have root are just stupid.
