I am on rooted stock ics, when I get the update after I try to install is says installation failed. Do I have to unroot my bionic to install update or unistall safestrap?
Nope.....have to FXZ ICS .. root.. then voodoo to keep root . then update....if you choose just to FXZ then upgrade you will have to do the linux root process. but not as easy as using motofail in ICS....easy as 1.2.3
I was having the same issue. Uninstalled SS and still no go. Was frustrated to say the least. Thanks for the info.

Hello there,
Last Sunday I updated my SuperUser apk to the latest version and attempted to update the SuperUser binary to 3.0.6 through the SuperUser app. The update process failed, however, and left me without a working binary. The last 2 days I've been trying to get SuperUser back up using all sorts of things, such as flashing a .zip from the SuperUser website, pushing the contents myself, and using both SuperOneClick and FlashTool, but to no avail. I really need SuperUser because of the limited hard disk in the X8.
I was hoping someone knew of another way of fixing this problem.
Also, is restoring the stock ROM (which I'm using anyways) using PCC or SEUS an option to getting my phone fully unrooted so I can reroot it?
Thanks in advance, Thom
Yes, you can restore the stock ROM via SEUS or PCC, you can re-root later.
It happened to me on sunday when i update superuser, i was using gingercruzt... i lost the root access i was not able to restore all my apps with titanium backup! so, i reinstalled gingercruzt. luck!
For me updated su works fine. Just install and update binary.

when i updated the binary, i lost the root access too...
is not necessary restore the original rom.
step1:
make a backup
step 2:
just download “su-3.0-bin-efgh-signed” and flash via CWM
step3:
enjoy again
step4:
remeber never again update the [email protected]%& binary

if it doesn't work, try other SU's like 3.0.1-bin
Hello, my firs post but not last . When I was root x8 15 days before, I installed xRecovery and link2sd, and another app. So, after I update superuser to 3.06, I lost root permissions. Now, there is no chance to access to xRecovery menu, with meny times clicking (I never didn't update android 2.1 to another version 2.2 or 2.3....).
Any help?
Does anybody know how to resolve this?? Please...

Thanks for reply.
Yes, I am sure . What you think, whether to again try to root my x8 whit superoneclick?
I rooted my phone with Motofail and then installed the OTA update to 2.3.6. And no, I don't have a Voodoo Rootkeeper backup because I simply forgot to do that. Dumb I know.
The superuser app is still in the app drawer, but cannot grant permissions. Is there any way I can reroot, or do I have to SBF and start over from scratch?
Thank you.

As long as you are still on GB (.215 or .219) the motofail exploit will work.
Thanks so much.
Rerooted and immediately did Voodoo backup for when ICS comes along.
I have my D4 with the previous update, Gingerbread 2.3.6 (...219). It is rooted and I have a few of the pre-loaded apps frozen.
What should I do before allowing the new OTA update to ICS?
Should I leave it rooted? Should I "hide" root? Should I unroot (how)? Does it matter?
Should I unfreeze the apps? Leave them frozen? Doesn't matter because they will all be replaced/overwritten?
Should I uninstall Superuser and Busybox?
After the OTA update is complete, will I have to re-root? Is this what I should use, Droid 4 Utility Updated ?
Any other hints, suggestions, cautions, or problems from those who already did the official ICS update?
If you installed and used safestrap before, you will need to switch back to the original (unsafe) system, uninstall it, and restore the original contents of /preinstall. You should unroot after that. You can save root with OTA rootkeeper. Make sure you have the updated su binary, since the old binary won't run on ICS.

I generally find it easier to just flash the system and preinstall images from the FXZ with fastboot rather than trying to undo any changes I have made and then the update always works.
Also, preserving root is unnecessary because the RazrEdge ICS exploit works fine to root any of the updates.
If you use OTARootkeeper be sure to Temp Unroot first or the update will fail.
You will need to enable all the apps in /system and revert any changes you made in /system. The update scans /system and compares it to things within the update.

does anyone have all the original apps? i re-installed some i guess for the last ota update after i failed many times and finally got it to work. now i have the soak test and it keeps failing, so i'm assuming i'm missing something. i've removed everything that requires root just to be sure and it still fails.
I'm stock rooted 6.13.215.XT894 and I can't seem to get the 219 update to apply. Forum search didn't seem to help. I've tried Voodoo Rootkeeper, but it doesn't seem to help. Nothing else on here (no Titanium, Safestrap, etc.). Am I crazy?

Isn't 6.13.219 the Gingerbread update from April? I did the .215 to .219 back then, leaving my phone rooted and many apps deleted (not frozen). The OTA update went fine, though when done, I wasn't rooted anymore and all the pre-loaded apps were back.
I don't know if that OTA update going fine was just luck, which is why I am asking here about what to do before the OTA ICS update, from those who might share their ICS update experience (good or bad).
My ICS update went good, took a very long time though, and almost killed the battery.
First I used OTArootkeeper to unroot the phone, then installed the update. The update rebooted, and installed, rebooted again, and did a nother install, then said upgrading apps, at this point it took near 2hours, If you have a lot of apps, make sure to have the phone plugged in. I thought my phone was bricked at this point, cause the progress display stopped after a while. but after 2hours of that, it finished booting and was fine. Used otarootkeeper again, and regained root, and my phone is back to normal like nothing happened.
I really didn't play with the rom much, except to root it. Lots of new annoying bloatware though, have to see if they are just installed apps, or if they actually run.

- Looks like I need to replace the preinstall files? I dunno for sure how. I do have an image. Trying to Apply the soak to GB
After compulsively re trying the software update button I received a notification that said 217 was available. (I guess I somehow got into the soak test). Anyway, I downloaded it last night (officially) as well as Voodoo OTA Root keeper from the market. FYI: I am only rooted, no roms or safestrap. I went into superuser and made sure I had the current su binary. Back in Voodoo, "Protect root" - > "Temp Un- root". This can be tested by opening a root app and trying to use its root function, only to be denied. Then I installed the update and let it run its course. After I was running 4.0.4, and all my apps were updated from the market, I went into Voodoo and pressed "Restore root".
Now I am running stock ics on my rooted droid 4!

Hey all!
I have a 4.0.4 Atrix HD that I have rooted with OTA Rootkeeper and am ultimately looking to install safestrap and Joker ROM on to. To do this, I need to update to JB but need to retain root. I have read every step by step of the process I can find and they all vary slightly so I am looking for the most updated version of this step by step. Some of them have mentioned copying su over to system from data. Some have said simply update SU and the bin. Others have said to unroot using OTA Rootkeeper before updating SU.
This is the most detailed thread yet however at the top, he mentions only needing to update SU and its bin. Is that in addition to copying over APK to system from data?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995207
So what I understand thus far is this:
1. Root
2. Update SuperUser through Play Store
3. Update SU bin through SuperUser app
4. Install OTA Rootkeeper, root, unroot, reroot through OTA RK
5. Install OTA JB from ATT
6. Reroot through OTA Rootkeeper
7. Done!
Is this correct and the most up-to-date process? Are there any steps I am missing? I just want to make sure to get this right as we are locked out of root on JB.
Thanks!
Your correct. Just make sure su and voodoo are up to date

Did it and it worked great! Thanks for the help
You're right. And once you regain root from OTA RK. I recommend installing superSU as your root app.

Didn't Work
I tried this and it didn't work. When I download root checker some actually say that I have root access when other say the complete opposite. Any ideas on what's happening?
I had to root and un root a couple of times in it's rootkeeper before it stuck. Installed Safestrap which requires root so I know it worked.

So I was having issue with my note 3 ( bluetooth issues ) I upgraded to 4.4.2
AT&T sent me a new / refurb phone and it has 4.3 on it.
So Im curious on what you guys would do?
Upgrade to 4.4.2 and stick with all this stupid bloatware
or
Root, and rom it?
If that latter, does anyone have any links to do that ( I used to do it with my S2, S3 and S4 )
thank s
Root it. It's not worth the grief to upgrade it to 4.4.2.
You can root it and use safestrap to install custom ROMs, or just enjoy the stock setup with root.

ROOT AND ROM it!
I was ROOTED and ROM'd, but I got bit by the OTA Upgrade bug... I went through all the hassle of downgrading, unrooting, resetting, then upgrading.
Now I've got the fresh new bloated OTA official 4.4.2 and NO ROOT.
Should I use Kingo? is that still safe for the Note 3 on 4.3?
well I rooted it with Kingo, However I'm having issues with SafeStrap.
Downloaded the APK and Busybox.
Installed SafeStrap and installed the recovery. When I manually reboot or reboot into the recovery via the app, it just boot as normal
Root it!
I rooted with Kingo, no problems, the first day I got the Note 3 and took the Nb4 update. I was so lucky to catch the KK update and froze it mid-download with ttb. I am so glad!! I wouldn't be able to use this thing without root. I have installed safestrap and roms without issue. (staying on 4.3 roms mind you)

try uninstalling ss then install it again, make sure it is 3.71 not 3.72. 3.71 doesnt need busybox if im not mistaken.

I am going to use Kingo tomorrow as well I think. How does get root? Will it have superuser on it after it roots or do you have to put it on the phone yourself?
Thanks.

Did you try rebooting into recovery via a power menu? That is what the tutorial says it should do. Hold power to bring up the menu and it should then have an option to reboot into recovery. I am going to try safestrap too I think.
