phone was rooted till 4.5 update

[terrymdw]

I rooted my phone w/ doroot a couple weeks ago. i am really new to this. after the update no more rooted apps worked. i tried to z4 root did not work. how do i get my phone rooted again? i am really new so give it to me as simple as u can. Any help would be great! thanks

the gingerbread update? yah you cant use z4 or doroot. you have to use the d3 root...

[ROOT] Droid 3 root instructions (One Click added for Windows/ Linux/ OSX)

use this file

MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4.zip
easy a cake takes about 5 min

Do you have a Superuser icon in your app drawer?

 

[terrymdw]

it did not install a superuser like it did when i used doroot. so i went to app store and dl one. i also dl busybox.

Is USB debugging enabled? Have you tried a factory reset, followed by attempting root again using the D3 root method?

 

[terrymdw]

yes i did a factor reset this moring and then tried to reroot. it says it rooted the phone but none of the root apps work.usb debug is enable

The last method you can try, short of SBF'ing, is typing the following code in Terminal Emulator.

Make sure you get the # symbol (you should if you already partially rooted)
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su

At this point, you can try to rooting again using the D3 root method.

You can download Terminal Emulator in the Market. SBF'ing is a process to take your phone completely back to stock.
