5.5.5.893 FXZ .901/.902 compatible and.902 update

[k1ngr4t]

Just use petes root tool to unroot on 902.

I don't think it'll work since I'm 4ever rooted with the released root.

Go to /system/bin/mount_ext3 and delete the bottom chmod 4755 lines and then use petes to unroot

And you're sure about this? Works with an old permanent root on .902?


Edit: Also won't let me save the changes to the file, how might I do that?

Interesting finding with regarding rooting with Motofail_windows...

I have a Bionic and a Razr Maxx. I was able to re-root the Bionic thanks to help offered by Sargentmajord. Once rooted on the Bionic, I got brave and decided to root the Razr Maxx.

The download file for the Bionic was Motofail_windows. When I went to the Razr forum, I found Motofail_windows(1) was the rooting software for the Razr. The Motofail_windows was 1,799 bytes and the Motofail_windows(1) was 1,800 (compressed I'm sure...).

The process was the same but I failed to notice who created these exploits. My guess is they are the same.

By the way, the exploit for the Razr was created in response to an OTA taken by Razr handsets just as there were OTA's taken by Bionic handsets that rendered the previous roots no longer viable. Another funny thing I noticed was that both the Bionic and Razr owners made observations that some of their rooted apps continued to work on handsets that lost root due to OTA's (specifically, the SqLite tether permissions hack). My experience was that my Bionic was unable to use Titanium Backup but other rooted apps worked.

So, here is my question / observation: Could I have used the exploit first created for the Bionic to root the Razr (after all, it seems the Razr is the Bionic 2 but with a 1.2 Ghz processor rather then the 1.0 that comes on the Bionic).

Yes the exploit works on the bionic, razr, razr maxx, droid 2 and droid 4

[Mbk]

where did you get the .901 update zip?

 

[gobi42]

Off of one of the forums it must have been a bad download or something redownloaded it and it flashed fine and motofail worked like a charm. I noticed in the op there is only a link for the windows verison. He should update it and put the linux version up as well. Im running kubuntu 11.04 and i flashed the fxz file from rsdlite on my linux box and rooted my phone on linux as well.
