Root Failure on Bionic ICS .232

Finally got the 232 leak installed but now unable to root using Motofail. It sees my phone and goes through the reboots, but cannot install. Here is the script:

Phone is in USB Debug and is connected as a media device. Have tried this several times without success.

Please Help. Thanks in advance.
 
It worked, thank you very much. I had tried this before without success but I downloaded your copy and tried again. The only thing I did differently was to unzip the folder to my desktop instead of a folder in my documents. Before it ran the script without rebooting. This time it walked through the steps like a marching band.....:hail:dancedroidDancingNexusdancedroid

Now on ICS .232 rooted and clocked at 1.2Gh. Just as I started to reload my apps, I see a note from SamariHL that a new leak for ICS 6.7.235! Here we go again...:blink:


EDit: WARNING, other threads are reporting that ICS 6.7.235 is a deadend. Cannot FXZ back from it, so you will be off the OTA path. Do Not Use without careful research or you could be Borked.:icon_ devil:

I'm still having issues with this. After upgrading to 232 my computer doesn't recognize my Bionic, always trying to install drivers. I've installed the latest Motohelp multiple times and I still get that drivers for the XT875 installation failed. I need this in order to get root.

As far as I knew, the drivers that worked for .905 (or .902) should also work with .232 they are simply moto drivers PC to Moto devices.. Mine worked just fine. Do you have the proper drivers for your pc? they exist for 32 bit and 64 bit systems. you need to look up which you have and make sure you downloaded the right ones.
