Any help to root the leaked ICS ROM

I was trying to connect my D4 with the leaked ICS ROM though adb
but after typing adb shell, it keep telling my device was offline
if i can connect the device, is it possible to push the busybox, su, etc to /system/xbin and enabling the root privilege?

Can't help you with actually rooting the build (sorry), but I have seen other threads that seem to indicate that if you reinstall your drivers the problem should resolve itself...

Where is the leaked rom?

no luck anyone? i really want root back.....I love everything about this update i just want my root back please!!!!!

I can point you in the right direction. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467598 I think if we knew the correct hex values to change in the .bat we might be able to get root.

It seems the problem i face now is i cannot push the files to the phone as permission denied.....or device offline....i actually could even push su to /data/local
which render other commands useless.....

Per p3droid twitter:
@P3Droid R U A Moto fan, then this is exciting news, @djrbliss just created a new universal root for the new 4.0.4 leaks.
Im not sure if it was posted yet.

The last posts I saw from him said it's not posted yet. He posted it's been tested on the D4 as well. So it shouldn't be much longer.

pimpsalot69: He was referring to getting it installed, not getting root. Unfortunately, if you lost root during the upgrade process (like I did) there isn't currently a way to restore it. You'll have to wait for a new method to be released.

I have the same problem - am happy to pay someone to help me root (I am roaming international and now cannot apply the GSM patch).

I thought the GSM patch is automatically enabled on the ICS ROM? All you have to do is put in your foreign SIM card and you should be ready to go.

It doesn't seem to work - I put in the foreign SIM and can make and receive calls without an issue. But no 3G data available (and I have set all the data roaming, etc. on in settings). If I had root access, then I could try to flash that rom to see if it worked. I'm in South Africa on the Vodacom network (3G).

Rooting my fone for first time.

Dear frnds,
Yesterday I updated my At&T atrix HD to 4.1.1 Build date Sat nov 17 22:37:35 EST 2012.
I have never rooted any phone before,
Now I want to root my AHD, becaus some games like asphalt 7 cannot be played via ext storage, need to root for swap.
Also for removing noob At&t softwares which i dont need ie.Custom rom
Can I have step by step tutorial on how to root my AHD now?
I saw that its not rootable http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069735
Is it true?

No root for 4.1.1 yet.

[Q] How can i downgrade my Atrix HD back to stock so i can root it?

I want to root my Atrix HD so I want to downgrade to stock but i already tried to do the whole RSDlite thing and I have gotten nowhere. PLEASE HELP!!!

Its not yet possible to downgrade from JB to ICS. Once you're on JB and no backup of root from ICS you're stuck until further notice. Sorry for that.

You are not the only one...there are thousands of us with the same problem. nothing we can do but wait for a new root method. no going back to ics....sell your phone,buy a new one with ics on it,and go from there.

Oh but that would require actual work on their part, and we can't have that can we?

Join the club, there are tons of us who'd kill to go back to ICS. BreakShadow has a point though, there are a good bit of posts with this same question. Don't be afraid to look through the forums first. =)

in the old days ota's used to wipe everything and reinstall the rom, thus removing root. since gingerbread all they use is patch files, thankfully too. could you imagine a 1.5GB "ota"? it checks the hash of all the files its going to be updating, if it needs to update modem and you have a diff modem then it will fail, if you removed an apk it needs it will fail etc.
its why cwm/oudhs will detect if teh su binary has been altered with permissions and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh as they tend to be teh results of otas

Thanks boy.!
Awsome i was waiting for this.! thanks dev.! great :highfive:

Am I understanding this correctly? So if we've rooted and installed a custom recovery but everything else is stock we can accept an OTA without breaking root?

Everytime I tried to flash the ota it failed at the flashing point. I'm thinking it was due to the kernal being changed in my root process. I used OUDHS recovery method. ... Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong which I might be.

Really, you have done a great job. I have seen all of your videos, but I did not find anything, which is needed to change. Superb !!.. It helps many people who have a galaxy S4. Thanks a lot for sharing such a helpful thing.

If you didn't remove the stock bloat then you'd need to throw the stock recovery back on.
Have already seen the ota fail with twrp and oudhs.

as i explained earlier, the only way a ota will pass while you use custom recovery to flash it, is normally if you have custom recovery and root and thats all. alter system in any way and you risk the ota not going. replacing the kernel is guaranteed way to make them fail, almost every ota ever has included a new kernel update.

The first thing to do is make sure your recovery is up to date. You can do that with the Rom manager app. It probably is the latest version but, it is better to check first. Then you have to decide if you want to go back to stock and take all the updates. The last update was a month or two ago and had a few security things. It's still GB. If you do then you'll be on a version ending in .621. After that you'll have to find compatible roms. The Liquid linked above is the most up to date version compatible with .621.
Good luck.

Thanks! I too just came across my DX which I had since launch, since it was with my car dock, Im gonna try to see what I can use it for as a companion to my pc...like maybe a desk mounted fan controller or temp monitor would be cool since I love to overclock (computers). Although its likely wishful thinking aside from some bluetooth tools from msi afterburner and such, its amazing the phone got up to ICS.
Might try it out later this week, last rom I had was one of the liberty 2.2.1 builds which were one of my fav at the time. Having gone from the DX, to rezound, and now note2. The DX was probably one of the best rom developed phones out there in its time aside from the nexus.

I was originally going to sell my DX but within a few days i decided to keep mine. New(different) toy for me to play with for a min. I've had the D4 since 2 weeks after it launch date so im super spoiled with Safestrap. Before i got my D4 I was up to date with roms and builds but sadly its still 2.3.

Framaroot, yes, is an apk. install the apk, and choose the gimli option. it will tell you that root was sucessful, and to reboot your phone. after you reboot, install bootstrap from either dx, d2, or d3 (d3 is most up to date, no known updated recovery available?)
You are correct about the 605/621 sbf info. once you flash 621, you can't go back. there are ROMs for both versions. I don't have experience with 605, but yes, you can upgrade to ICS from 621. From what I've read, no one has successfully gotten a JB ROM (CM10, 10.1, or 10.2) to work. There are at least 2 ppl who are going to attempt a KK build. wether or not it boots and is functional, only time will tell.
