[Q] Root without CWM ? - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
First of all, sorry if the question has already been posted, but I didn't find anything.
I got OTA update to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 few days ago. I am looking now into rooting my Razr I.
I saw a few threads about it and I found (this post) but I do not want CWM. I want to keep the stock recovery for OTA updates. So is it possible to root without CWM ?
Thanks,
Alex

AW: [Q] Root without CWM ?
You can always flash the Stock Recovery back, in case of an OTA.

No, at the moment, that doesn't seem to be possible.

It's possible on RAZR M. Why can't be done on RAZR i?

By all means go for it. But you must realize there are major differences to the internals for the devices and not just being 1 letter off in name means they will necessarily work on both.
Intel x86 and ARM7 are quite different.

You could just try that RAZR M JB root and see...I'm due to get my RAZR i in a few days so can't do it yet...

I meant they modified the ICS-exploit to be working on JB. I didn't say that we should use the same version, of course our version (for RAZR i ICS - motofail2go_razri.zip) should be modified in the same way. Is it so difficult?

Is it difficult to make new root exploits? Sure. Ask anyone who has made their own true exploit if its easy....

Have you read the link I posted before? Germanese said it wasn't so difficult - just replacing two apk's. But if the vulnerability used by the exploit is specific only for RAZR M ROM then it's clear that writing a new exploit for RAZR i isn't an easy task. But in this case it's strange that Motorola fixed this vulnerability for RAZR M and didn't for RAZR i.

If you tried it and it didn't work, that's just the way it is. You have no reason to be sad, you have no idea how many people on the XT912 and XT910 would kill for an unlockable bootloader and understand its necessary to root.

Request for Jelly Bean ROOT.

I am one of them, who have lost root after jelly bean OTA update. I was tired of waiting for the root, so I decided to email Mr. Dan Rosenberg, the master of root exploits. And they replied me as following:-

No kidding. Installing updates always removes root access unless you
take steps to preserve it (OTA RootKeeper, etc.).

I think you mean "every Bionic owner who rooted their device and didn't
know enough to not preserve root through an update".

I might have a solution for you in the next few days, but I'm getting
tired of this game. Don't expect every build of every device to be
rootable. If you have root, make sure you take steps to ensure you can
keep it before installing an update.

This could mean that we could see Root Exploit for jb droid Bionic. But don't expect much, as written above. Fingers Crossed..
Dear Mr. pray for root))
solemnly promise never updated if I get root)))
I hope Dan Rosenberg is serious about this.

Dan Retired!
Now we have the only hope from Dan, Let's see what happens.
All I can say is that since you had the balls to email him about root after he said he was going to retire, you'd better pony up a few dollars to donate to him when/if he does come through with Bionic JB Root.

Dan shouldn't have to help no one for nothing. And the only people he should ever consider helping is another dev so that his knowledge and skills lives on. For this person to email him is utter disrespect. Let the man be ffs.

I'm not counting on him to do it because he doesn't have to. I'm just curious as to how many people are halfway rooted and don't know it because root checker says they aren't but don't actually try any root apps. Root checker says I'm not but I'm still able to do many root activities.
But if someone was going to email home about it, they should have at least mentioned that voodoo was only working for some people and not for others.

Giant big balls to put it out there to him, so kudos for that. Very kind response all things considered. SamuriHL had a bit of a work around posted in another forum recently, that involved a hybrid flash using the House of Bionic suite. Wonder if it's based on that somehow. But I'll pony up dough for a root, no doubt.
Well, I wouldn't have emailed him direct (I'm sure he's busy with other things), but I'm also one who plans on donating if we get another exploit.

Or you might do as I did and proactively donate. He definitely is deserving.
Just curious. I've had my Bionic for some time now and it is completely stock with the new JB OTA. I was thinking about rooting it for the first time. But, from what I am reading it seems like this would be impossible. Is this true?
Currently for you, yes. However in a few days there could a method to root jb released.

That's true, at this point. There is a root exploit that's currently being worked on that will hopefully make it possible in the near future. Be patient and read a lot.
The exploit had been confirmed by a trustworthy source, Samurai, he helped test it and was able to root his phone.
The exploit will be available later... Tonight?

It can be dangerous flashing firmware meant for another phone even if the specs are similar or even identical. Each firmware is made specifically for each phone. There are a number of things that can go wrong by flashing firmware that was not made for your phone causing you to hard brick it. You need to consider partition sizes, the bootloader, and the boot image just to name a few. Replacing the boot image with one from the AHD won't guarantee the phone will boot and if it does end up booting the phone will most likely not work properly.

No no I'm not that stupid lol I'm gonna deodex this then post a link for others and I plan to build a moto x ROM but base it off Mexican retail and try to implement as many moto x features as possible
really ? you care about my signature
Don't think there's much good in this.
The main moto x features revolve around the architecture of the x8 (such as the google now feature) and the amoled display (such as the active notifications)
It has a customized snapdragon processor but the problem is that the Moto X has two additional cores for handling all of the "always running" sensors, such as the mic and gyroscope. If we did port it, our battery life would be KILLED due to these long running sensors and the lack of a low power third and fourth core.

Multibooting on AHD

Hey everyone im new to the AHD forums so bear with me for asking weird questions....
Is there some app similar to BMM as in boot menu manager that can help me multiboot ROM's on the AHD
i saw that the safe strap by hashcode was used earlier and it had that option....
But since the unlocked bootloader ever1's using CWM or TWRP so ne suggestions or ideas on how to make it possible ???

If you want to dual boot you need Safestrap 3 and both ROMs must use the same kernel, such as Batakang and stock. You cannot dual boot with CWM.
99% of ROMs that can be dual booted are now dead for the most part. None of the new ROMs like Carbon, PAC, Probam, CM, and whatever other complete ROMs we have can be dual booted, which is what skeevy was saying.

Root is almost available for the DT but BL unlock is not guaranteed yet so no one can say if DT owners (like myself) will even be able to flash anything. Good question though.

That would not work because it is not signed by moto. The ONLY things that matter are: 1) Signed vs unsigned packages and 2) bootloader exploits. Some BL exploits require root, most do now since they have gotten advanced. I miss the days of hardware level exploits and stuff. No more though. Root will likely be needed for a BL unlock and I would assume once root drops people will start working on one. Jcase has unlocked many motos and I would assume he will work on one when he has time (he is sick and very busy).
So root will not allow a BL unlock by itself. I am not even sure if this root exploit removes /system write protection. Some don't. We just have to wait and see.
I was busy last week, but if there will be BL unlock for Verizon Droid Turbo, then I'll make the CM12 / CM12.1 universal.

If you dump the package yourself I would imagine it would no longer have the same check sum no? Jcase has said this about many devices and then out of nowhere released exploits. I am not asking him to, I am just saying he enjoys doing this and is really, really good at it. I can see him collaborating with the root author to develop a proper exploit if it does not already exist. Either way, this root probably won't be released for another few weeks, if ever.

No, if you dump the bootloader yourself, it will be signed with the exact same certificates as when it was compiled. As a quick demonstration, take a device (not the Turbo) and download a custom kernel for it.
Check (and make note of) the MD5 checksum. Then install it.
Boot it once or twice, messing around with it. Then dump it (via
Code:
dd if="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot" of="/sdcard/boot.img"
) and compare the MD5 of your dumped image to that of the one that had not yet been installed. Zero difference.

ZV7 Discussion

No, ZV7 is not out yet. But it is in development as indicated by the new RDF.
http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS991-SPRINT/LS991ZV7.rdf
Now I checked a few days ago and this wasn't here. It's also noteworthy that with the H815 getting 6.0 this might be what's coming our way. We saw something similar when ZV8 came out for the G3, it was a different version on the RDF. I'll try and poke the bear, see what I can find out.
In the meantime let the speculation begin!
I wouldn't hold my breath for M --YET-- it's way to soon. Besides inside the rdf file it says 5.1. Probably just additional security updates, and perhaps some additional enhancements like we had with ZV5 & ZV6. I do like your speculation though. ?

Now I checked a few days ago and this wasn't here. It's also noteworthy that with the H815 getting 6.0 this might be what's coming our way. We saw something similar when ZV8 came out for the G3, it was a different version on the RDF. I'll try and poke the bear, see what I can find out.
In the meantime let the speculation begin!

Awesome, I hope they don't patch my mobile hotspot trick!

I wouldn't hold my breath for M --YET-- it's way to soon. Besides inside the rdf file it says 5.1. Probably just additional security updates, and perhaps some additional enhancements like we had with ZV5 & ZV6. I do like your speculation though. ?

With M out already for the global version and it supposedly out in short order afterwards for US... Well, stranger thing have happened.
I just hope the exploits we use to DD the custom ROMs doesn't get patched with 5.1 update, could be a prep for M complete with security fixes. If so I may pass on the update and or M. Just my opinion only time will tell....
OK. G3 is now showing an update ALSO in the works. And what two devices are supposed to get M first for LG?
If that's not M it's a fix that affects them both... Stagefright's already patched so not sure what other big ones are out there.

I probably will too. If you guys haven't heard M will need you to flash a custom boot.img/kernel for root, which I imagine would almost definitely throw a secure boot error for us.

Actually Stagefright 2.0 is not patched.

Begin happy dance.
I wonder how easy it will be to root M. If I'm unable to root, I'll be sticking with L.

I second that. But, you know, we will always have root. I can't think of a single device that cannot be rooted... even my wifes cricket phone can be rooted and there isn't any forum or development for it.

That might be true. But there are plenty of devices that have never been rooted.
And if you root some new devices on Verizon or AT&T they will boot you off the network.
No Root

Yeah the At&t Note 4 does not have root which was one of the reasons I left that device.
