i had a droid3, gave it to my son-in-law, it was rooted and had hash's safestrap installed, he had it flashed from verizon to cricket, now i can't get it rooted with the method i used before, a one click method from psouza4, worked fine when it was on verizon, anyone have any suggestions on how to regain root, it is on 906 software, 2.3.4 gb, thanks in adv.
Motofail will get you root

The new 5.7.893 OTA was just found today on stage 1 via cheesecake. Its only a 4 Meg update from those running 5.6.893. If you are using the p3droid forever root, it doesnt break it.
I'm running it and haven't noticed any issues except webtop seems broken.

From what I understand, only those who have installed one of the "leaked" version found via Cheesecake are seeing this OTA.
If you have a stock/release level Bionic, you wont see this...
on my x10i
i dont think ota works
on the motorola forums they stated that the ota is in testing and will be out in 30 to 60 days.

Make sure boostrap is uninstalled before trying safestrap that may be causing the issue? Like a failsafe built into the app so you wont accidentally try flashing to different recoveries?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA
I do not have boot strap installed. When i go to the boot loader and choose recovery it takes me to stock recovery. So i dont have bootstrap installed

That's not how Bootstrap or Safestrap works. The bootloader will always invoke stock recovery no matter if safestrap or bootstrap are installed. The locked bootloader of the Bionic prevents Stock Recovery from being replaced.
Do other root apps work on your phone? Maybe try grabbing SetDNS, or the free version of Screenshot ER?
I finnally got it to install

I have a Bionic that is rooted, has CWM flashed and is on stock ROM. Is it safe to update to the latest OTA software? I just don't want any repercussions.

You will have to unroot your phone, the ota needs the stock recovery or it will not install. I would also recommend using safestrap instead of CWM. It makes it much harder to brick your phone. The latest version allows you to have up to 4 roms that you can switch between.

So I'm running the 9/18 CM 10.2 on my verizon droid 4 stock slot. I saw in the thread for CM that there is a new binary. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102723&page=81 What exactly does the binary do and should/how do I use that latest binary?
Nah your good. That's just for fast booting back to stock in case things get fubar

If your phone is totally dead, you can restore it using that files and the method of flashing it through RSD

Thanks for the heads up.
I have at&t LG Flex, rooted and than updated to kitkat, surprised was when it updated to Kikat and root was retained, I used all applications that require supersu and work like charm.
Follow this, If you did not upgraded root it with ioroot and don't unroot it, take OTA update and you will keep the root.
If you upgraded, downgrade it via lgflashtool method, root with ioroot and update ota and you will keep the root..Good Luck

What did you do before hand? Cuz you're literally the only person so far i think. I tried everything and even went back to jelly bean 3 times trying to retain root with different programs. It would always error out on the update screen

Basically what I did was I rooted on JB and when KK update came, I removed root from superSu "unroot", I tried to upgrade to Kikkat and failed, so I did lgflashtool (you directed me by the way) and flashed it to JB, rooted again and kept the root and superSu..tried update from menu and went through and kept the root.

I was unable to try it out last night, ever since upgrading to kit Kat i can no longer choose which mode to connect (usb only, mtp, etc) so after flashing back the problem followed me which prevented me from running ioroot successfully. Luckily i had ordered a new flex yesterday from AT&T after their service center confirmed something was borked during the update, it'll be here Monday. Can't do anything till then.

So far it's only available for AT&T so that's nothing to "upload". Without recovery for these phones there's no way to create roms from kit Kat source
