Jelly Bean Root - Motorola Droid 4

I recently downloaded CM10 and flashed JB to my Droid 4, but I can't seem to find a way to root my phone again. Everything is for ICS. Is there any way to root my JB D4?

It's already rooted if you flashed JB. Check your apps and verify that you have SuperUser installed. You don't lose root when flashing a custom rom.

Sorry, I misspoke. When I said flash, I meant I SBF'd to 6.7.2.
I didn't have superuser, and even when I installed it, I get a FC on apps that require su.

6.7.2-180_dr4-m2-37 is ICS if that is what you are referring to... Android version 4.0.4...

You must b on ics, you can't get to jb on the d4 unless u r rooted and running a custom rom, so just check your android version in your about phone settings and see if it says 4.0.4. And if it does than u r on ics.

is there a version of this that we can apply without loosing root?
just want a stock version w/ root
I am at android version 2.2 build FRG22D rooted
and just want to get the FRG83D update
similar to what Pete does
http://www.peteralfonso.com/p/downloads.html
after looking at the update list I would only be interested in the new twitter app, new gmail app, and news/weather widget. It seems it might just be easier to find these apk's individually and install on FRG22D rather than deal with the upgrade.
Unless there's something else worthwhile in the upgrade that I'm missing...
I didn't notice anything different after upgrading.

Honestly...I still do it the old fashioned way, and it hasn't served me wrong.
Good old RSD Lite lol.
RSDLite still works.
I know that for the X, z4 still works too. I'd imagine it does the D1 too.
Nope, z4root doesn't work anymore on D1

Did you use the small FRG83D-from-FRG22D file (under the OTA section) or the full FRG83 DeOdexed?
Or is that smaller file just what Verizon sent out?
I successfully rooted my Droid1 using SuperOneClick tonight.Downloaded it from XDA tonight.It reverts back to frg83.I am a complete dummy but the instructions were simple.

ok, not knowing what was added in Peter's build, I used a rooted stock build posted by metiCkOne (link below) that included busybox and superuser.
I didn't even wipe data, updated on my rooted FRG22D with SPRecovery.
After that I just re-installed my preferred kernel update to get a higher overclock setting.

hi,i used the latest download from peteralfonso.com website -its for stock roms -a star is beside it to let you know its the latest version....just click on deodexed(i used this version*)-it will download to rom manager-flash using clockwork mod recovery-this worked for me -i was rooted on 2.2 before i flashed this and didn't lose root afterwards....hope i answered your question,i'm still new at using android os(coming from apple os)
ps:use your xda app on your android phone-much easier to apply downloads
To everybody trying to root just factory reset and then use a one click rooting method
No ever since i got froyo second update FRF22 i never being able to get 1 click root solution.

Not only does z4 not work on the new OTA 2.2.1, downloading apk files does not work for me as well. Anyone else have major issues with the 2.2.1?
superone on D1 2.2.1
followed the instructions: downloaded and opened on windows, hit run root, 10" later I was on the net on my ipad, laptop, and wii. awesome>

[Q] verizon gtab wants to update software to gingerbread

Verizon software update wants to update from froyo to gingerbread on my gtab, will the root survive and will verizon b able to see the root? If so, can i disable update, it reminds me every 30 mins.
You will lose your root. I don't think vzw can see that you are rooted. I had no problems with my update with my rooted tab. Too get root back you have flash a pre-rooted rom. Right now I'm using "Galaxy Cuded" from the dev section, very stable.

I too am running the ROM from the Dev section. It comes pre-rooted, thank goodness. Haven't had any issues with it so far either. Very stable.

Root ICS

I've just installed the v28_00.kdz on my o2x and I want to root it how can I do it?
P.S. I don't want to install the rooted version of the rom no thank you! Is there any tool to root it? like the gingerbread with SperOneClick?

Update Just Baseband?

I'm rooted with CWM and running an Android 4.2.2 Rom. I want to update my baseband in hopes of increased reception stability. Right now I'm on T679UVKJ1. Are there any options to flash a newer radio/baseband. So far all I can find is to return to stock and apply the latest OTA. Thanks!

Make a backup of your current ROM, install Peach Sunrise and then restore your backup. I think that is the easiest way to upgrade to UVLG3.

You should definitely research on how to root and know what risks are involved before you try this.
