My droid bionic won't root

[derikogreen]

I need help rooting my Droid bionic 905 2.3.4, i have tried everything that i know of. here are the problems I have run into.


PETE’S MOTOROLA ROOT TOOLSERROR: adb could not be granted root access via local.propmethod

Try again from thestart, but if the problem continues, check your version
of Gingerbread --hopefully you don't have a version where this exploit
was fixed. (doesn’teven make it past the 3rd step)

MOTOROLA ONECLICKROOT
Congratulations your phone should be rooted. But it’s notrooted. I checked it with Root Check Basic and it said my device is not properlyrooted plus the super user app wasn’t installed.

Motofail: Universal Android Root Expoit
Adb server out of date killing… along with a long failedmessage stating remount failed; Operation not permitted, failed to copybusybox, failed to copy super user, etc.

Ok. It sounds like it may be rooted even though it doesn't say so when you check it with Root Check Basic. Here's something that you can try on your phone.
1. Check and make sure that SuperUser is installed on your phone. It should be listed as one of the apps on your phone. If you don't see it, go to Google Play and search for SuperUser. Download the free version and install it on your phone.
2. Once you have SuperUser on your phone, open the program on your phone. You'll see a screen come up showing all of the different updates to this program. Just select the OK button at the bottom of your screen.
3. Exit the SuperUser program and go back into Root Check Basic and see if it tells you whether or not your phone is now rooted. It should say that your phone has now been rooted.

I've used this procedure each time that I've had to root my phone and it has worked every time for me. Let me know how this goes for you.

ROOT CHECK BASIC:Sorry! this device does not have proper root access. it's like Verizon put a special lock on my phone or something, but i have seen other bionic owners have no problem with rooting. Anymore suggestions?

You're using an incredibly random assortment of tools all of which don't work. Get motofail or motofail ics.

[brad92]

I agree. Try MotoFail

 

[derikogreen]

heeeelp!!! lol I tried motofail and moto fail ics yet it still won't root. What could i possibly be doing wrong, this is what I used. The drivers and motofail

Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.2.0_64bit.msi
motofail_windows

do you have debugging mode checked ? and try a different usb port on computer

Yeah. Can you see communication between pc and phone? It sounds like busybox never getting on the phone to start with. Triple check your usb debugging and usb mode (charge only on GB). Check unknown sources in dev under apps.

Aha moment. Did you unzip the motofail.zip into the directory you're running the run.bat from?

 

[derikogreen]

Since I have been trying to root I have kept Unknown Sources and Debugging checked. As far as seeing communication between pc and phone i can access my storage and the usb mode charging pops up when i plug it in so i assume it's connected. I used to see a message saying drivers are connected but I noticed you don't see that message everytime and even when i did see the message it still wouldn't root. I have 4 usb ports on my laptop and the 2 on left aren't working at the moment which i'm going throught methods trying to fix them but i have tried the 2 on the right and it still doesn't root properly. I am a fairly computer savvy person so this is really becoming fustrating. I won't quit until I figure this out, gotta get my phone rooted. Please anymore suggestions.

:lifting:

 

[justin82]

if you have latest drivers, good connection , usb debugging enabled you should be good to go.. you may if you have have any security locking (pin lock or gestures) take them off i dont think it will make a difference but you never know.. what OS are you running on computer?

Try going into the stock recovery and wiping the cache. Also, are you using a motorola branded cable? Sometimes you can have problems using other usb cables.

Google Bionic Roms and there will be a sub heading under XDA that has "Liquid ICS" this link has the step by step process on it with all the file links needed to achieve the results that you are looking for.
I originally had the same issues.
If you aren't trying to do the ICS, which I must say since I installed it with the "Liquid ROM" I have never been happier.
