JB update starting Apr 15th - Official VZW announcement

[grgguy]

Here's how I kept root.

First I updated su binary then I downloaded update to sd, Then temp unrooted through voodoo( note : I also reprotected root with the updated su binary), booted into recovery and applied update. The update took 10-15 minutes. Rebooted phone, went straight to voodoo and restored root. I also confirmed root by opening tibu and sqlite editor.

Cool. I've seen more than a few lose it by not following directions.

He says he kept root. I am hoping someone comes up with a root method for jb bionic. I've tried RAZR blade root method and it does not work on bionic. Thank god I have a maxx. Still want to root my bionic and be able to play though.

Have you tried the new motochopper that roots RAZR hd on 4.1.2?

Same here. Bummer

I hear Dan Rosenberg has retired from the scene. Surely someone can develop a root method for bionic jelly bean!! Its still an awesome phone. With all of these Motorola root methods floating around I can't believe none of them work. Someone has to step up to the plate and help us out. Please Don't tell me development for the bionic is dead. Because that's what I have been hearing and that's just sad. Say it ain't so!

Yes, I still have root. In fact I'm using root now as I type this. I still have unlimited data and I use the entitlement hack as my primary source of internet. I think that updating your su binary and using voodoo is the ONLY way to keep root. Follow the instructions to the letter or pray for a new method.

Excellent to hear. I've seen more than a few people who have lost it. Major bummer. And as deduct pointed out, Dan R seems to be out for good. I'll keep 246 and run cm10.1.

Those romming are the ones having the most problems. I would go back to completely stock and reroot before attempting anything.

I don't see any sign of JB OTA update yet, in any forum. Saw 2 or 3 folks only, who received OTA. May be, VZW meant soak test when it announced the update starting Apr 15th.

Hasn't made it to Idaho yet as far as I know.

Is it possible to FXZ back to 246, reroot, and reapply JB? Did mine last night and had to fix a webtop issue and forgot to run rootkeeper first. I'm planning to do a full wipe over the weekend anyways to try and help responsiveness.
