Jb and root.. - Motorola Droid 4

So I recently sat my phone on the stove and it kinda melted a little... I have not had my phone rooted as I wanted to keep the warranty active... now warranty void I would love to root (i know how to)my phone at some time.... question at hand is with the soak test on should one root and use an ota root keeper prior to soak test or will rooting be as easy on jb that it is now...

until rooting is confirmed, on new update, it is unknown

2.2 and root

Any word on the effects of updating to 2.2 ota with root. Will it brick us? Kill root?

Ain't even seen a real 2.2 image yet. How are we going to know what it will effect?
Thanks for the attitude little boy. ..

Birdman says that they were rolling it out possibly today, so i don't see why his question is not valid.
His question is typically invalid due to the small numbers of people claiming to be getting 2.2 update.
His question is valid because we should no from other android phones getteing updates while they were rooted! The answer it no, it will not brick your phone, but it is a 50/50 chance if it will stay rooted or not, in this cause it will lean toward the unrooted side I would imagine!
Would I need to reinstall the Verizon apps that I removed/backed up after rooting before updating to 2.2?
More than likely, the .604 update requires that those apps are present

[Q] can you revert to ICS after OTA JB update with RSDLite?

Hi - I think I'm in a similar boat to other bionic users who lost root after the OTA update to Jelly Bean. Can anyone tell me if i can use
RSDLite to flash the stock ICS?

I'd like to go back, reroot, and try updating again with some of the steps listed on other threads to keep root. Alternatively, may just go with CM10.
just want to see if this will work if I have already updated to JB.
No you'll brick if you do that. The security levels are different between the two.
Just wait a few days, I read on another forum that DJRBliss has been working on a jb root exploit for the bionic.

Thanks for the info. Glad I checked. Will wait as you suggested -- hell, we Bionic users have waited this long, anyway...
Us bionic owners know a thing or two about waiting.. fortunately I kept root through the ota.
"Brush up on your Ubuntu samba skills and wait a few days. And perhaps get your PayPal account ready for a donation while you're at it. Root is coming soon but it won't be a one click. It'll involve effort. We set up a root bounty on droidrzr. I highly recommend that those who care about root pledge a few bucks or donate directly to djrbliss." - SamuriHL from another thread here.

Is This root for AT&T Safe to do?

This is a root I recently came across online by a dev. I'm new to android so wanted to make sure this is safe to perform on my AT&T Note 3? Any suggestions. Go to this link to see the root provided: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474422
check this thread your question has been answered there, i linked to the particular post
Designgears is a great dev. If he says it's safe then it's safe.

As long as you understand what you are doing at each step of instructions, it's safe. DG never goes wrong.

Agreed. I don't understand what to do hence why I have not rooted yet. Once I read and re-read all these subjects then I may give it a shot.
Does anyone know if this root method will prevent future OTA updates? I had my Note 2 rooted and had to go through hell and high water to search and install rooted/deodexed updates each time they were pushed out, as a result of rooting the device.

Rooting won't stop the updates but it will allow you to install titanium backup and freeze the services that the updates rely on.
You just have to remove the ota app. It's only an app on pretty much all android phones that actually controls ota updates.

Thanks for the responses. To clarify... I *want* OTA updates. I don't mind the stock ROMs (as long as I have root to freeze bloatware) pushed from AT&T. Note 2 rooted changed the device to "modified" and when OTA updates were available, they could not be downloaded or installed. Hence, I had to search for stock ROMs that had been rooted and deodexed.

actually.... Root de la Vega should stop ota updates already because it has a build number that samsung should never release a ota for.

Accept update to 4.4 if I want root?

Hi all!
I just got an att moto x of Craigslist.
I'm planning on rooting it.
It hasn't been updated to 4.4 yet.... Is there a problem accepting the update if I want to root /unlock?

JCase has rooted 4.4 but don't take the update yet go to rootzwiki and his tutorial on how to do it is there. You start with 4.2.2.

knox

just to be clear,there's no danger of tripping knox until at least a 4.3 update right?
so if I root now,and maybe put a rom on later (curenttly 4.2) there'll be no trace right?
