I am new to this forum so be nice.
I did the OTA update to Jellybean on my Atrix HD that was already rooted and of course lost root! I have tried the moto2failgoand a couple others and can't get it to root. The moto2failgo asks you to hit the power up and volume up at the same time to force bug report. Mine just powers off and never generates bug report. What should it look like when it goes to bug report and could this be the reason why the root is not working?
How can I get this phone to root? I will need a step by step directions as I am a newbie. I need it to set up my mobile hotspot. PLEEASE HELP.

IF you lost only partial root when updating to JB this might work.
Look here. Bottom of first page. Worked like a charm for me!!

Anyways, i still have Superuser still installed, have a su file under system/xbin am i screwed or is there still hope? I have tried the batch file that is linked to above, but i may be doing it wrong?.. as i said i am a noob!

Unlocked. Push them simultaneously till you get a vibe but don't let go. Wait a few moments and if you don't feel another one, do it again. You only have to trigger it once so keep trying till you think you felt a different vibe. Sorry I can't help more, its been awhile since I've done it..

Issues with bug report
Not sure if this is a dead thread or not but I am having the same problem with my phone. I for some reason have no luck with triggering a bug report. I read that it was best to do it unlocked but I have tried it in multiple different ways and methods. I have a mb886 on att running 4.1.1. I am using Dan Rosenburg's (djrbliss) motofail2go batch file exploit. I am running a windows 7 pc and have tried different cables as well. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Complete noob here!!
So I had rooted 2.1 stock and update to Froyo leak first one it came out I believe (System Version 2.3.9.MB810), and lost root.
I would like to upgrade to the new 2.3.13 Froyo, but I'm not sure if I could just follow the instructions on the threads because they are about going from 2.1 rooted to new Froyo.
Is there a difference in the installation? Can I recover root? Do I loose everything I have? I have Titanium root but since I lost root it hasn't been backing up I believe
I been looking at both of these threads lately, sound like the instructions might work (again complete noob , so not sure)
thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764304
thread: androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/174152-brand-new-froyo-2-3-13-a.html
Thanks for your help in advance.
Update
I used the instructions on the thread on here and ran into an error when running the update zip
Says Error: Status 2
What can I do?
Neither will work without root... follow D2 root instructions.
So follow the instructions on this thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7838000&postcount=1
And then just follow the instructions as they are on the new froyo threads
Thanks!!!
Yes, that should work. Wait for someone else to confirm this though, unless you are adventurous.
rage-against-the-cage is a 2.2 exploit, the way I understand. It isn't specific to the D2, but as I said, wait on someone to confirm. I don't know a whole lot about this. More of a lurker than a do-er.
I saw it a while ago and thought about doing it, I was waiting for another 1-click-root type of thing, so I couldn't mess up. I'll wait and see if someone confirms it then.
I used this method to regain root after the 2.3.13 update and it worked. If you know how to use adb its pretty easy.

Try turning usb debugging off (System settings > Applications > Development).
And then connect in PC mode again and see if the phone installs itself.
Try the other modes, mine work in mass storage.

Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
make sure you have debugging mode on and that your Windows or Mac proper LG drivers are installed so that the phone is recognized also put CMD in the same folder as platform tools in sdk manager folder vice versa for files needed to be pushed to phone.
I got the drivers from the LG website for my cell, hmmm... ill have to recheck everything else because ADB has never gave me this much trouble

I'd be willing to code a one click solution if it would be helpful. Its pretty easy as it is tho

I had the same problems. I followed everything step by step and made sure I had the right drivers along with everything I would need with Java. Still no luck. I have the combination of feeling stupid and frustrated. I have rooted and installed custom roms on three different phones before.
A one click solution would be amazing if you could come up with that. I will try the ADB way again later.

i agree. ive been trying the adb method all day. for some reason just wont work. im prolly missing something
Try updating all the drivers for adb. It would be helpful for you and it would probably solve your issue.

Does one click root work for you? If it does, there is nothing wrong with your drivers.
Once you get one click root working, put the recover in the ADB folder that is part of one clock root.... then open that fold, hold shift and right click, select open command prompt, then type in the adb commands from the CWM instructions thread.
LG uses the same drivers for all their Android devices, I used their driver installer app and selected the Verizon LG Fathom since it didn't have the Thrill listed anywhere, have had no problems.
Some reason my comp doesnt do any of this correctly... so much for brand new tech
Does one click root work for you?
If not, you have a driver problem, fix it by downloading LG's driver installer, select Verizon for the carrier and then select the Fathom. If you have a drive issue, and that fails to fix it, try a different USB port... make sure you have your phone in debug mode... can you mount your SD cards?
If one click root does work, then YOU, not your new technology, is doing something wrong. So the question is, what are you doing wrong...
Please answer the question, does one click root work? From there, tell us step by step what you are doing, and we will tell you what needs fixing.
almost done

Ok, then driver issues isn't a problem, I would take a really close look at your ADB commands, and be sure to wait 30 seconds after each one to let it process.
I would recommend copy pasting the longer commands (right click copy, right click paste, the keyboard shortcuts don't work in command prompt window).
now it says permission denied on first command?
Then you don't have root... run one click root again. I would use it's driver check feature as well before running it.
lol i lost root? wow ok strange... i have superuser
Well... if you get accessed denied you either are typing something wrong, skipping a step, or trying to do something that needs root and you don't have root.
Do you have debug mode turned on? Do you see this active in your phones notification bar? That first line doesn't even need root access, if IIRC.
Good Evening everyone. As the title says i need help.
I have had my phone rooted fine in the past but went ahead and did the .893 update wich is where something went screwy. It booted fine after doing the .893 update however after doing a reboot it would not boot. just stayed at the M dual core. I think something went wrong on the update because all my apps were still there when it did boot.
So i tried doing a return to stock using the RSD lite program..that fails right away no matter what i do.
So i went and tried to do the One click fastboot system restore program.
Now when i did that the INFOpreflash validation failure showed up however everything else went through fine. the phone reboots and everything works just not great the signal strenght is very low.
The version that got installed says 5.5.1_84_dbn-55. So i try Pete's root method and it go thru to step 2 but then fails at rebooting for the second time saying it could not get root via local.prop.
If anyone could please help me get back to normal stock it would be much appreciated
Not to be a jerk, but did you READ any thread on here before you did this??
1) Unless you used p3droid's forever root method, you're done. No root.
2) Wrong forum - should be in general
3) RSD won't work.
4) I don't feel sorry for you. You should have researched more. If you would have taken the time to read a few threads, you would have known the answers before you did this.
Enjoy your new build - you'll be with it for awhile.

Breathe in, breathe out!!!!
I'll breathe when this .893 goes through and I keep root
There is also some very seriously contradictory info in the OP. While castigating him for being a noob did anyone notice that he claims to have flashed the update and then reverted to stock?
This is impossible from our current understanding of how the bootloader works.
More information about the exact steps followed and the exact results at each step would be very helpful to try and figure out what really happened.
OK?
Less heat and more light...
I just got a little frustrated, as every time I open XDA today I see the same/similar post.
Cell - I didn't see in the OP where he said he flashed back. I read where he tried, but I didn't see any mention of 896.
I could not get the .893 to boot after a reboot so i used the One-click fastboot restore and root which brought back to stock but also made it so that i can no longer root. It fails every time on the local.prop process saying adb could not get root access. I did try the stock recovery and still no go. I also tried the adb fix that was posted to remove local.prop but when i tried it says file not found. I have rooted and messed with many phones in the past from Droid 1 and up and this is the first problem that i couldnt solve so as i said any help would be appreciated.
Oh and i have also tried to unroot it..it also fails at adb not being able to gain root access

This isn't going to help your current issue, but how long did you let it sit (after installing 893) before you decided it wouldn't boot? I ask because the guy who was ballsy enough to do it here said the first boot takes about 7 minutes.
EDIT: Nevermind - mine booted in 2 minutes.
it was fully booted and operational. i just did a power off after a half our or so and power back on and it just sat at the M dual core screen...i dont know why it would not boot. I tried pulling the battery. taking out the sim card and all that. the only thing that would get it booted was the One-click fastboot restore and root program so I at least have a working phone but for some reason the signal strength is horrible

Try to do the fastboot again and root it through there. Or, if you did that already (root in fastboot restore) try rooting afterwards.
Might sound dumb, but did you forget to save the chmod changes to the build file? It's a fairly easy mistake and it is the only thing I can think of.

Hello all,
Okay, I'm a total noob when it comes to the LG Revo. I had my D1 and my DX and I worked it all out and had it setup and rooted just fine, but the LG and this OTA ZV8 update is killing me. So here is my dilemma.
First I don't get the lingo...clockworkmod (CWM) = boot screen/command screen, right...like dos kinda?
Second, flash? What is that is that where I hold power + volume down button to get boot/command/dos screen, when phone is powered off?
Okay now for the good crazy stuff. I had my Revo rooted, got the update, failed. Figured it was because the root was on it, so unrooted to push OTA update, still fail...is still epic failing and is getting on my last nerve, so badly I'm ready to throw my phone...and I've never wanted to that to my babies (phones). Anyway, unrooted still failing update.
Was on another forum where very nice guy gave me stuff to do, tried it however, when did the "Flash" it only wiped my phone and put it back to stock. Had phone plugged into computer via USB...tried to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583023 but after phone wiped didn't know what to do. This is where I am now, with a wiped phone and this has been since 9am pdt.
Hope this all makes since. Can anyone offer any help here? I'd like to get my Revo back up and running and I'd really love to get my apps back on so I can function.
Thanks for understanding and your help is greatly appreciated. Oh, please talk to me like I'm a noob lol...Or I won't get it, I promise I will do my best and try not to sound as dumb as I feel right now.
Thanks &
*Edit* I forgot, I read somewhere that in order to use CWM the phone had to be rooted so I couldn't've flashed to it anyway? Is that wrong information?
The reason why your update fails is because you haven't taken off CWM I'd point you in the right direction but I'm doing this by phone

Use this http://webchat.freenode.net/ then go to #lgrevolution so it'll be easier to communicate.

Guess what...phone has not tried to update since I wiped it. Running fine though. Uh...have only tried to push update manually once. Had guy here try to help me but we got lost with the zv7 it wouldn't let me upload from the site linked here. As I'm running 2.2.2. He said I needed to be on zv7 before I could get to zv7. Anyway all is okay so far will try this again this weekend.

Hello all,
Okay, I'm a total noob when it comes to the LG Revo. I had my D1 and my DX and I worked it all out and had it setup and rooted just fine, but the LG and this OTA ZV8 update is killing me. So here is my dilemma.
First I don't get the lingo...clockworkmod (CWM) = boot screen/command screen, right...like dos kinda?
Second, flash? What is that is that where I hold power + volume down button to get boot/command/dos screen, when phone is powered off?
Okay now for the good crazy stuff. I had my Revo rooted, got the update, failed. Figured it was because the root was on it, so unrooted to push OTA update, still fail...is still epic failing and is getting on my last nerve, so badly I'm ready to throw my phone...and I've never wanted to that to my babies (phones). Anyway, unrooted still failing update.
Was on another forum where very nice guy gave me stuff to do, tried it however, when did the "Flash" it only wiped my phone and put it back to stock. Had phone plugged into computer via USB...tried to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583023 but after phone wiped didn't know what to do. This is where I am now, with a wiped phone and this has been since 9am pdt.
Hope this all makes since. Can anyone offer any help here? I'd like to get my Revo back up and running and I'd really love to get my apps back on so I can function.
Thanks for understanding and your help is greatly appreciated. Oh, please talk to me like I'm a noob lol...Or I won't get it, I promise I will do my best and try not to sound as dumb as I feel right now.
Thanks &
*Edit* I forgot, I read somewhere that in order to use CWM the phone had to be rooted so I couldn't've flashed to it anyway? Is that wrong information?

Ok... here is what you do to get root. Follow that thread and install the v8 tot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386
After the lgpnst program completes (around 20min) successfully you will be running the latest v8.
Once that is done. Connect your phone set the usb to internet and turn on debugging from the settings | applications | development section and then follow this the instructions in this thread. Unzip the file and run the bat file and follow the directions in the command window.

As for clockwork mod (which a basically is a program that can be run before android loads that allows you to make low level system changes, when you make these changes it is called flashing) I am not running it on my phone but I am sure someone here can tell you how to put it on your phone running v8 rooted.
Here are the instructions for getting ClockWork Mod onto your phone with rooted v8 (located at the bottom of page 2)

Hello, followed the instructions all the way to:
10. Right Click "VS910.dll" and click on Install/Register.
Note: DLL WILL NOT INSTALL UNLESS COMPONENTS AND GENERICMODELS PLUG-INS ARE INSTALLED!!!
IF YOU CANNOT INSTALL IT ON A RIGHT CLICK GO TO "C:\Windows\System32" and drag the VS910.dll on "regsvr32" and it should install.
It won't VS910.dll dragged onto "regsvr32" will NOT install. I get an error message:
The module "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\VS910.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80020009.
What do I do now?
Are you using windows 7? If you are, disable user acct control and try it then. I had issues with windows 7 64 bit?

Thanks, it helped, however, now I'm stuck here:
16. Select "VS910ZV4_04.S4_04.P58008.R5.user.tot" and Click OK
17. Then click on Upgrade
It says "The file can't be open.
Any ideas?

Typed "." with both just the dot and then again with the quotes and nothing. According to my computer the file is on C:\ but I can't find it in LGNPST there. And it's not in any of my other files that I can see.
I think I did something wrong...But I followed it exact. Becoming very disconcerted with my Revo.
At that point you should explore into the directory where you put the .tot file. Copy the location, go back to the LG tool and paste the directory location. It should allow you to open the file. If you have any problems please respond.

Ok, so moving along on this lol...I've followed all of the instructions. Downloaded, uploaded, installed, copied, pasted, created new folders, dragged and dropped everything it told me to do.
This file "C:/VS910ZV4_04.S4_04.P58008.R5.user.tot.bin" is only showing up in my computer as a shortcut, not as a file. This is after researching and finding it on my computer. Did I do something wrong? Am I downloading an incorrect file? I'm not sure where this particular file came from as, everything else is as described in the "how to" threat.
I think I may have figured it out. Will get back to you. Thanks again!!
*EDIT* Was told to use VS910ZV7_10.S7_10.P58008.R5.tot ... did...it updated...now to see what to do next. That other was was ZV4 and the one I just updated to is ZV7... woot wish me luck...manually pushed zv8 update...no failure this time...it was successful. yay!

Now for this part. It's not rooting. And yes, I have ZV8 on my phone, now. I have a root-required app on my phone just to test to see if it's rooted and it keeps saying that it is not. I'm such a noob, I know. Sorry :-/
Could someone please explain what are the steps to get this doen?
See topic here:

1. Install RAZRi drivers
2. Download ADB files (ADB is a comandline-tool, google how to use)
3. Connect your RAZRi to PC and check if ADB shows it as device.
4. Follow the Steps from the Link
Works maybe only on JB! (you can try it on ICS)

ok, than you have to extract the zip-Archiv (TwerkMyMoto-1.0.zip) in the ADB-Folder.
Sorry, i have missed that step...
The 3 files have to be together with the adb.exe in one folder!
good luck!
Never mind.
I used vroot to root both Razr I's without unlocking the Bootloader. Worked instantly. And then I used Dr. Fones software to search for the files, but it was gone beyond repair. So thanks for the input here, and thanks to Motorola or android whoever wasn't capable to install a recycle bin from the factory.

Most likely it isnt beyond repair. You never touched the boot or other partitions. Just flash the installed stock ROM by rsd lite. And all will be as good as new.
But why do u use vroot? Why not a working one from this device forum. And before u wine about a recycle bin left out, its not windows, linux or anything. Its your fault, read what it does. And if u don't know what u are doing, read how to repair things before even starting to use tools like this. But if I totally misunderstood you, I am sorry!

Are you friggin kidding me?
Instead of helping you are critizing me and start a personal attack by saying it's my fault!?
UNBELIEVABLE!
First off, I started a topic here weeks ago trying to get help to recover my file. Well, guess what, no help, no response!
Then I asked for help to root, cause NONE of the "working" solutions I found here worked for a locked bootloader RazrI !!!!
So now after I used Vroot, which worked instantly you come around!?
The file I tried to recover is gone. It was an audio file that meant a lot to me. Gone forever, and yes thanks for rubbing it in, yes my fault because i ACCIDENTALLY deleted it, by swiping over the file.
And yes, if a recycle bin would have been included from the factory everyone could have recovered that file in a heartbeat without making a doctor in computer systems, without rooting. Or any other modifications.
Thanks for your post, as it goes to show how bad some people are.
Sorry to hear the complete story.
But your post was only about "TwerkMyMoto". Nothing more!
If you had given us more info we could help you better.
