[Q] I still have S-Off

After all the moaning and groaning about loosing root after the OTA I bothered to lauch into boot loader today and check my "S" status, and it is OFF. does this mean that i can flash a custom recovery? If so, where can I find a flashable version of Clockwork or amon?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Put this file on the root of your sdcard and boot into the bootloader.

thanks I'll try that out when I get home.

If you used unrevoked forever to achieve root, you will not lose s-off from an ota. After receiving an ota you can simply flash a PC36IMG of a custom recovery and then flash the latest superuser.zip from your recovery.

That's where I got it.

Thanks guys, i got it done but had troubles with superuser not flashing. Had to go to androidsu.com and get the ginger compatible version. Didnt even know there was such a thing. Only issue now is that it kicks an error in rom manager when trying to fix permissions. Any ideas?

I think you need to flash a rom now. I don't think you can add superuser to the recent OTA. Once you flash a rom, you will be rooted, just not on stock (unless you flash the stock GB).

Remove rom manager and reinstall it. when you try to fix permissions this time you'll see the SU prompt to accept.

You need to flash a rooted rom now... Soff does not provide you with SU permissions inside stock rom.

Thats what Im doing next, uninstalling it and reinstalling. It does currently get su permission, but something just may not be right.
You can have su on the OTA, you just have to go to androidsu.com and select the version for gingerbread. Worked for me....

Try downloading titanium backup from the market. when it first loads click on problems at the bottom. this will install the newest version of busybox which may help the rom manager issue.

Sorry, edit...

Could it be from trying to run fix permissions in Rom Manager but having Amon Ra loaded? Or maybe still the wrong version of SU? I believe there's an app in the market by the same guy to fix Superuser version.

wipe data and reflash your rom.
why do people keep continuing to install chainfire 3D? it is not compatible, period.

are you using a custom recovery? you can push a rom to your device via adb. or you can use fastboot to flash the official stock img, which might be better. then youll have to reroot. and im sorry, the comment about people continuing to try and use chainfire 3d wasnt really aimed at you, it was just general. i see this same thing almost every day with people getting stuck after using chainfire. btw, out of curiousity, why would you need to use chainfire 3d on a quad core phone?

I dont have any backups or any rom on my phone or pc, what's the problem is there any way to transfer files in fastboot?

Now you will remember to get backup every time when modify system files. I did same but I had TWRP backup. In minute my phone run again. Now you need to flash stock ROM and if you are newbie use toolkit or step by step one of guide on this forum. Toolkit is a easiest way but If you want to learn smth use guide
People installing chainfire3d because they want play favorite tegra games. I did same to play auralux. Chainfire project should be continued.

Latest OTA root method?

Has anyone found or made a root method for the latest OTA update? System version 98.18.94? If so, can you give me a link.

Ditto. I never found one on the last release. If anyone comes up with one for the current release, would be great to know.

A little search would go a long way because this has been answered a million times already, and posting it again isn't going to make the devs find a solution any quicker. No, there's no way to root the latest update.

Have you tried to use rsd lite to go to an earlier version? I really dont know but it might be worth an ole college try

Just curious, but does anyone think or know if it's possible to root the phone when on 98.18.78, then use Voodoo Rootkeeper to save the root, then do an OTA update to the latest 98.18.94, and finally use Voodoo Rootkeeper to restore the root? Please let me know. Thank you.

Thanks for responding. I really appreciate it. So if I have a phone with 98.18.78 that is locked (I know I won't be able to unlock it), do I follow this guide to root the phone? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379833
I am a little confused about your Rom Manager post. Is that used for flashing a Photon Q recovery that can then flash TWRP/CWM and/or ROMs? Is this possible even is I am locked on my BL?
Should I root using your guide, Voodoo protect/unroot, update OTA (still having stock recovery), and then restore root? Should I have Voodoo installed on my SDCard rather than on the phone? Thanks for all your help!

The rom mgr post is only good for you as to the steps on voodoo as you are locked.
Yes voodoo on you sd is nice. Be sure to be on a full bloat backup when you take the ota. No SS bootstrap allowed.

Need com.motorola.blur

Hey guys I heard there is an update coming and decided today to just look if my phone is up-to-date or not. Well when I search for updates it tells me I need an motorola-acc...Stupid me just deleted all the motorola-service apps a while ago and of course I didnt make an backup.
Could somebody maybe upload following apps:
Com.motorola.blur.setup
Com.motorola.blur.updater
Com.motorola.Motocare
I dont know if that fixes the problem but its worth a try. If you have a better solution let me know.

Not sure if this will work. Probably best to restore with the stock firmware.

You can always just restore system with RSD Lite and then install the new update when it comes out.

well, it seems to update most apps by a little bit, but what the updates are i am not sure. The thing thats confusing me is that the date stamps are all "wrong". this is dated for september 1st 2008, but if it was new it would be 2014 or similar. best guess is that this was an update for your old rom that you never got before you flashed a custom rom but i dont think its "new" as such. If you wanted to flash it you would need to flash the stock recovery from a ruu as i suspect it wont be compatiable with our edify recovery versions.

well i had updated everything the time when i rooted.

You wont have to go back to s-on at all
Just flash the stock recovery from fastboot. then run the update from the stock os, afetr the reboot flash clockworkmod recovery.
Also since google dropped support for froyo on the google play store this wont solve that issue
