None currently available, nor can you flash back to ICS to gain root then take the OTA and retain root!

I just posted that once you take the JB OTA, that you can't roll back to ICS. Not sure how to be more articulate?!?

o, i'm wrong, i think that is any way to roll back, so now i have only two way - sell my atrix hd, or wait for root at 4.1.1 :crying:

Wow, there is a way to regain root because most have only lost partial root. They just need to read. You might want to check out the thread called possible way of regaining root.

I know the Atrix HD community isn't that large but I hope a root exploit is developed soon. I'll donate to whoever comes up with it!

But that is if you have partial root. If you weren't rooted and took the OTA, this wouldn't work. Right?

I'm wondering about this myself. I just got an Atrix HD Day before yesterday and it had JB on it already when the guy at At&t handed it to me Was kinda disappointed since I was hoping to root and get rid of the bloat prior to going to JB.

I looked at that thread but since I didn't protect root or anything prior to upgrading, I cant get # in adb shell even though I have su in my bin folders and superuser.apk in my apps. I did have root in ICS though.

Cleaned the thread. If there are no comments that contribute to the topic, please don't post it. There are a lot of folks who are new and don't quite understand how things work. Lets all be as patient with them as people were to you when you first came here
Moving to Q&A
Merry Christmas!

ATTENTION!

..Need someone that is currently rooted on ICS to grab the OTA JB so we can root it now!

And what exactly would this have to do with exploiting MotoJellybean?

we want the JB ota zip to see if we can make a rollback script to help people with the root process, do u have the JB ota zip matt?

It uses an exploit in smart actions app... Surely tweaking the exploit application will work for our phones since they are similar?

I think you have it backwards. Our exploit worked on the RAZR HD, M, I, and Photon. This one doesn't work on any of those.
Should be a step in the right direction for those stuck on an unrooted device :beer:

If we do get it working then they'll push 4.1.2 as a "maintenance" release to patch that and everyone will be like zomg must update and then lose root again. Rinse repeat.

Have you guys tried Atrix 2 JB leak root method? They flash ics boot.img via fastboot first then root it with ics root tool. After that,flash it back with jb boot.img.

But, it didn't.

Dunno what's up with the security increases for this phone but this is a real challenge for us. This is getting complicated.

Was the previous exploit utilizing the only hole in the hardware or did jb/motorola just increase security that freaking much?

There's a finite amount of exploits known to hackers. New ones may be discovered at times but typically they don't like to waste them on insignificant devices. Like ours. Getting the one for ICS was big but it also covered other models of phones. So now unless someone wants to burn another exploit or we can find another way we are stuck
Sent from my MotoAHD Maxx

Don't we have the same smart actions app version preinstalled with ota jelly bean software as the RAZR/maxx have preinstalled on there ota jelly bean software so shouldn't we be able to root if we revert back to the stock version of smart actions
If somebody can confirm that we do that would be great

To backup the root... Do you just run the app?

My plans are to learn how to successfully flash a rom without bricking the phone.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app

I'm backing up my root, getting some nice tweaks, trying out the Batakang ROM, and gonna learn more about development...If I'm smart enough lol

My plans are to add a reboot toggle and the 1% battery mod. I already saw Dan's root method for Jb but I kept running into errors. When I got to adb shell near the last step no matter what I tried it would tell me no directory of that name so I might wait until a one click root shows up. Shouldn't be long now that we actually have a root method.

Copy and Paste is your friend.......
As long as you can booth into Linux just use Copy/Paste the whole time and pay attention when you have to create the password. This was super easy imo.

You never know what can happen. I was with the atrix 2 community about two phones ago and all there needs to be is a brave soul to root it and Roms will start coming. And the sooner it becomes rooted and unlocked(and we already have root now) the bigger the community will get. Ive seen it happen. Dont count the AHD and devs out so soon

i think it because you will had root before JB update. I flash FXZ ICS and forget about root, and now i can't keep root any way.

That "Easy Root Komplete" tool found on this page uses the famed MotoChopper exploit. I just FXZ'd my Bionic to 4.1.2 and tried Motochopper on it. It managed to install Superuser but it couldn't push in the su binary so it basically failed. I tried MotoChopper 3 times in a row but root was never actually achieved unfortunately.

Save yourself the effort. Motochopper only works on snapdragon based moto phones... For which the bionic is not.

So far there are no known Bionic JB root exploits. I was told a few days ago that the Bionic Gods are looking into maybe repurposing one of the RAZR JB exploits but I've not seen or heard anything since. DJRBliss has quit so this puts us Bionic owners in a very bad position. We can HOPE an exploit is found but I wouldn't expect it.

I would go as far to say that if it happens it will be a repurposing based on RAZR Blade. The chances aren't superb, but at least conceivable.

I think the samba share exploit has the most promise, actually. I don't know if our smart actions would allow a razr blade style exploit.

I can attest to the fact that this exploit does not work.

i can find the download link. one on the linked page doesnt work.

Thanx for the reply, greatly appreciated. Fingers crossed on an exploit!!!!!

Don't work anything what i try to do...just can't mount /system in rw.
Have little idea. We have locked bootloader, but preinstall.img not signed. I think must be something in this folder what work with su permissions, and if we moded preinstall.img, we can flash it and run script for mount /system in rw mode.

i tired and disappointed...i very need root, because without root, my phone just player....(((

That would be because there is NO working root exploit for JB. And there may never be.

I hope you are right! Unfortunately it's all a bit beyond my depth. I dunno why motorola is such a stick inthe mud, especially after Google bought them. All the Google devices have been easy to root and mod (Nexus series), but it's probable that since this is an older device without a gigantic user base, it just isn't getting attention, as evidenced by it not getting the GSM unlock that other phones with the same chipset got.
So sad. Lovely phone, crippled by the manufacturer from achieving it's full potential.
There's still hope though. Meantime, I'm sticking with ICS. LiquidSmooth and Eclipse 1.3 roms work exceedingly well, and root access lets me run all the stuff I want to.
