.902 and Root

[Joeteck]

actually its for the Bionic as well,which is why it worked...

I opened up the run.bat file and read it...

Yes, just ran this new exploit (had lost root going to .902) and can confirm it works on the Bionic. It's nice to have wifitether back.

There is a easier way to Root .902 rather then having to revert back and hope forever root works (didn't for me) or rootkeeper works (again didn't for me).

Go and download the Droid 4 exploit that is being called "motofail" from here.

Run the "run" file (sorry window only for now).

I did not make this... only letting people know about it. Hope it helps, it did for me.

Happy Rooting!

This worked for me. I'm back rooted again.

Thanks for the link!

UPDATE: After updating to 893, I got stuck on fastboot with an Invalid CG message, but used FlashMe Batch file to fix it. When the phone rebooted, I was successfully updated & still rooted. Then I used OTA Rootkeeper, downloaded & installed OTA 902. Install went off without a hitch & root access was retained!

It's nice to know that even when things get incredibly frustrating, the amazing Android community will always come through!

Lost root with .902, thought I had foreveroot but did not. Tried this on my Bionic and it Works! Had a little scare because it took about 30 minutes after the final reboot for the 4G to come back on. Note: I ran this directly from my windows Download folder with the Bionic connected, in USB debugging and latest Motorla drivers. Just follow the instructions and you will be rooted. Thank you for the link, and thanks to Dan Rosenberg for developing the exploit. Sending him a donation.

Try downloading voodoo ota rootkeeper from the market it worked for me

Sent from my GT-P7510 using DroidForums

That worked for me. It immediately restored my root, without an additional reboot! I will support Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, 100%.

This just worked for me as well. Thanks to Dan! Donation to Red Cross on the way in his name.
