Yes. Motofail is the exploit to allow root / superuser access.

Why do you want to root it?

I read the article/post. thank you. My Bionic is almost 2 years old and out of warranty anyway. I wanted to root so I could calibrate my extended battery, which it requires.

Ok. If you need help just let me know.

All you need to do to calibrate your battery is let it die and charge to 100% with it off.

I'm tired of fighting my phone. I rooted it right after I bought it but now want to unroot bring it back to factory and start again with no changes. Problem is I can't remember what method I used. I know the Bionic keeps root thru updates and it is only about a year old, so is there like a universal unroot that I can use?

Thanks

You need to fxz to 905 look in op it will bring you back to stock 905 thdn when OTA hits you can take it and you will be stock ICS.

I'm trying to run the Motorola One Click Root Application and my computer says it has encountered a problem and closes (asks if I want to report to Microsoft or not). Any suggestions on how to get this to run? I installed the drivers.

No prob. This thread is a bit old and doesn't have the updated methods for the latest updates for the bionic.

thats what I'm finding. I want to gain root access so I can install titanium backup to backup apps+saved data+pref. then I wasn to factory default reset my phone. then reinstall the apps data. I'm not feeling comfortable on how to gain root access for the Bionic with the stock VzW ICS update from last week. Help?

Did you try the one I posted a link for?

If that didn't work, then either you don't have it configured properly, or something may be wrong with your device.

Can you reupload the app it states unreachable is there a better way instead of through G Drive?
