You must be rooted to be able to Safestrap. I haven't gone through the Razr JB upgrade threads but I hope Rootkeeper works becuse I would not want to wait for a root method to be discovered.

To be on the safe side I would root then use OTA Rootkeeper, you may have to wait a while to get root and it will drive you crazy.

Did that on my tablet updating from ics to jb and install kept failing. Ill safely update then work on root myself. Rest assured all goes well and someone doesnt beat me too it i will be posting.

When using vodoo... does one have to simply click protect root and then update or is there more to it...
Sent from my DROID4 using xda app-developers app

To successfully maintain root and install the OTA do the following
Root Phone
Install VooDoo OTA RootKeeper
Update SuperUser binaries (from within the SU app
Open VooDoo and "Protect Root"
Then tap on "Temp Unroot"
Install OTA
Install VooDoo
Restore root

So... I forgot to do all this... I hope there is a root for jb coming soon still have su just no root...

Can I still root if I update?

Or do I have to root and acquire an update another way?

Yes you can root after the OTA update. I rooted mine after doing the update with the Root Kit (see Dev section).
OK thank you!

FYI, Nexus devices are never locked down. You are always free to unlock the bootloader, root it, and do whatever you like. You can take any and all updates without fear of losing anything.

Safestrap isn't working

I just picked up a Droid 4 and I've been trying to install Safestrap and it keeps closing when I try and open it. It's on stock 4.0.4 and I've tried Safestrap 3, 2.00 and 2.11....
Any ideas?
Nevermind my space cadet moment....I kinda need root before don't I?

Anyone not get the ota update pushed to their phone?

Hey I am rooted and I did all the the steps before checking for an update. When I do it says my phone is up to date. So I changed the date on the phone and same thing happens. Any Ideas on how I can get the update?

Are you rooted with M1 build? I didn't get the update as well so I flashed mine back to M9 build and I get the update right away.
I am on the m1 build and do you have root now that you have the update?

I am also on m1 build and no update! I'm guessing this is why!

Do you know how, if at all, to update?
Is the update going to hinder root or future dev progress?

No. I don't have root anymore. The reason I rooted was to do sim unlock. After went back to M9 and got new update, mine is still sim unlocked. So, all is good for me.
I'm downloading m9 as I type! I will upgrade and root using Dg's method then hopefully ota will come

You need to download root DE LA Vega Ml9 package and flash it just like you flashed ml1 then make sure you install Supersu pro and check survival mode and uncheck enable superuser then reboot now you will be okay to take the ota!

This is confirmed working on the i537 AT&T leaked 4.3? Screenshots if you have please, just curious. I'm still on 4.2.2 stock w/ SafeStrap installed. Didn't really look into getting 4.3 leaked since only root methods supposedly had malware. :fingers-crossed:
Screens hots are borked in the leak but trust me in have already flashed a lock screen mod and can confirm it worked

Sweet deal, I'll check it out when I get a little free time off from work. I won't be able to get any OTA/Official updates from AT&T for my i537 anyways since I switched to Tmo last year. Locked BL sucks!

Look at my list of previous devices. All have been modded mainly with info from XDA. I have been my own guinea pig plenty of times, I assure you.
I'm not saying you cant...I discovered this worked for our device by going out on a limb a trying it. If I could get the ota I would have already tried.

If I could get the ota I would have tried by now if it worked on the leaked 4.3 it would lead me to believe it would work on official.
