Hi guys, So I'm looking for a bit of help with this one.
I'm currently on 2.3.4 with root only for the purpose of using the hotspot with our grandfathered unlimited data plan. Now if I allow the update to ics I believe I will loose my root from what I've read. So the big question is, does foxfi really work with out big red knowing? Or will I have to root ics to get that back? Funny thing is when I try to verify my current root it gets denied super user and says I'm not rooted but I can still use my hotspot.......... Thanks in advance!

Reroot using motofail that should fix your superuser problem. Foxfi works great have not needed to root. If you still want root just use Razors edge. Also I had to be 100% stock no root to update my bionic to ICS.
I was able to get the native hotspot hacked the same way as it was on GB. Sqlite app needed.
I went a week ago to get my wife a new phone so her plan was upgraded to a 2gb plan and i still have unlimited, the guy said i was using 26gb a month but nothing he could do to stop me so go with it

I rooted my phone the manual ADB way with my Linux box. I'm having problems with the phone, and going to exchange it, just need to wipe it and unroot it before I do so. I have reflashed thecubed stock Rom on it, and flashed the stock recovery image using Revo Toolkit, now I need to get root off, and I can't find anything other than people saying about SuperOneClick which is windows.
Any help? Thanks
if you simply exchanging it i doubt root would matter. the verizon store in my town almost every person in there working has both their personal and work phone rooted and nobody blinks a eye.
Just delete super user using root explorer. They really don't care. I have sent back 4 eris' and 1 fascinate rooted just super user gone and never had a problem. Actually my fascinate still had a rom, and cwm installed on it and never a problem.
Yeah. I just want to be careful since I'm on a business plan, however i did manage to get it off with ny virtualbox using SuperOneClick so no worries. I was just having problems getting the web driver installed correctly on it at first but it finally took

The Verizon employees don't care. And when you mail them in for replacement they go back to the manufacturer and are reflashed and restocked as FRUs. I understand your being cautious but just giving you the info to ease your mind. I worked there for six years.
hey all
So I've been messing around with the LG Revo and I've rooted it and attempted to get CM7 running on it ( no luck )
basically I just would like access to my Revolutions internet connection
Is this currently do-able?
Yes easily actually. Replace x's with T's

suggestions as to how I might get the root options back?
I am having quite a few issues with my phone running slower then a Ferrari with no engine lol everything lags horribly bad. Even just opening my contact list takes a couple minutes before it opens. And just trying to type a text or typing this post right now takes so long cause the keyboard lags out so bad and can't keep up with the speed I type like it usually has no problem doing.
So I was hoping someone could give me detailed, step by step instructions or a guide, to restore your phone back to unrooted stock, just came out of the box, settings. I wanna completely restart my phone. But I don't know how to go about doing that. I've done it with my last two Android phones. Which were a Droid X and before that a Droid 2 Global. But I was told that the process for Motorola phones, which you just use RSDlite and its pretty easy but like I said. I was told that RSDlite only works with motorola phones. So if someone could help me do this. It would be very much appreciated.
I already restored my nandroid back up I made before flashing the last rom I was using. So I am just using the stock ZV7 LG rom but its rooted. I also wanna be able to do the process of keeping my phone rooted and still be able to go to the new ZV8 version. My phone keep trying to update everyday but obviously it wont work cause I am rooted and plus I don't want to stuck and unable to root my phone amd flash tols and what not. Which last time I checked no one has figured out how to just straight root the new ZV8 version. You have to do that process that just lets you keep rooted and still update. Which hopefully someone will figure out how to just root ZV8 itself.
Anyways, like I said, if someone could help me completely restart my phone and start fresh as if it just came out of the box for the first time. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Here's a very detailed walkthrough with links to all resources needed to get you back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19154278
After you do that just run system update to get to ZV9, if you want to root ZV9 use the LG Esteem root found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25362328
Edit: If you want to speed up ZV9 after root, here are a few tips

ZV9 ? I thought it was ZV8 was the latest update. Cause I am on ZV7 which was the update before the latest one, at least as far as I know. I am pretty sure I am on ZV7 and ZV8 was the latest. Have they come out with another update recently ? cause last time I Checked about 4 or 5months ago, ZV8 was the one that just came out.
It is really easy. Flash the v8 TOT. Upgrade to v9, do a factory reset and bam out of box v9. You can then root and what ever else (re-install apps)

okay, it's not that easy. I'm a noobie. I flashed the v8 tot, and I know it worked since in phone info, it changed from v4 straight to v8. BUT, for some reason, superuser and my old apps were still in the phone on the v8.
I went to check new software... nothing. V9 was a no go. What did I do wrong? I flashed it properly.
ALSO!!! HOW THE HECK DO I GET CLOCKWORK MANAGER IN V8 AND HOW DO I REBOOT INTO IT. help
I rooted my phone a while ago using Motofail and would like to update my phone so I can put the ICS update on it that was pushed out the other day. I am kinda a noob to hacking my phone and would really like some help with this. I have found the Motofail for ICS for once I install ICS.

Just download and install all parts of House of Bionic and follow the on-screen instructions. In order to un-root you need to choose option 2 then option 2 again. Check out the FAQ if you have trouble with ADB. Read the post very carefully and probably more than once but it is actually very simple.

Thanks Samuri for this script, I have been telling everyone about it. Cheers!
?
does anyone know if the apps that hide the root will work or do I have to completely unroot the phone?
rooting the phone
as you most likely know motofail will root the phone, settings applications unknown sources, development usb debugging i also check leave screen on, then when usb is plugged in make sure charge only, have a good charge also on yer battery, if in 7 right click on motofail run as admin
i also like to have wifi already going and download root checker, this verifies, sometimes, dunno why, when i go to one rom or another i have to use one version of motofail or another version of it, also motooneclick worked for me also,
either way that'll get your phone rooted, i haven't done anything with ics, i did see a version of motofail for rooting ics afterwards
i'm on eclipse 2.2 which i just love, need anything else gimme hollar, skype allen-sec or yahoo allensecz
learning the bionic and this myself, been at it for about a month, learned a lot, just don't have 3g flowing yet,
so if you got that going on yours, hey gimme hollar

Bare with please
I asked in a different thread but I got some things answered but not all exactly.
I keep hearing if I want to unroot my Bionic I need to use all the HoB files or FXZ. I will explain why I'm still a little confused.
I used Razrs Edge to root my bionic earlier this week after the OTA ICS update. Worked in like 3 minutes and put safestrap v3.05 on and made a backup of my stock OS. I want to restore and then remove safestrap but I'm confused on how to unroot. Since all the unroot methods seem to be based around HoB or motofail or using the Pete's files (which the links never seem to work)
What i need/want answered is how do I unroot it if I used the Razrs Edge method of rooting? With one of the methods i mentioned above work? If so, which one please and will i just follow the same method?
My reasoning is when/if JB OTA comes out I want to unroot to get it so i figured since I'm involved now, I might as well learn how to unroot it now and get it over with.
Thanks
Eric
You may want to try OTA Rootkeeper. You can find it on Google Play.

I just started using SuperSU, which has a clean up root option. Seems pretty slick so far.

Nothing about this update has me even thinking about switching back to stock for this. But thanks for the heads up.
Anyone have a copy of the stock recovery? Don't want to flash all the way back to stock but would like to take the update. Currently running tarp.

I know this breaks root, but is it possible to root again or do we have to find a new way to root. I only want to root for tethering and debloat. Verizon sucks when they load everything they can on top of a phone that has a lot of apps already installed on it.
Best to get a copy of it to the devs. If it works like the razr, you can d/l but not install it and pull the file from cache.

Use Titanium backup, and freeze Software Update MUC.
This should prevent you from getting the update.

Yeah, I'm on stock, I assume the dev took the updater out of his rom. You'll have to confirm with him.

especially not, since you can get the benefits of the new radios, without accepting the whole update.
Will this for sure break root and would something like root keeper help at all?
I'm finally eligible for a contract upgrade device. If I were to buy a G2 today from Verizon, what are the odds it come with this update out of the box? I'd hate to buy a device I can't root and install custom ROMs on...
cant pull update??
so i am rooted but running stock.. anyone know why i cant pull the update??
Just flash the radio.. Its the only thing thats worth anything out of this update

I would say zero. I would imagine their stock is at least 1-2 months old. I have never bought a phone that didn't get an update the first day.

They usually release updates over a couple days for server reasons. I still haven't seen it either.

That was my feeling as well. I thought I would wait until the S5 or HTC One 2 came out to upgrade, but based on the previous versions rooting/unlocked bootloader on VZW are highly unlikely.
I was brave and tried the update. Stock ROM, just rooted for tethering purposes. I tried twice and received an error code both times. Then a message stating the update was unsuccessful upon reboot. Boo...
