How To: Root your Motorola DROID Bionic

[GagePrk]

I used the keep root OTA function in Rom Toolbox. I lost Root when OTA 4.1.2 happend. I have used Motochopper, Razrs Edge, Razrs blade all have failed to root. Might be that this one might not get rooted.

I used VooDoo OTA keeper and i got my root back after the 4.1.2 update.

Really? Why is this too difficult for the mass of hackers?

You can also follow the instructions on here which are MUCH easier IMO

Then do the Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, unroot, take the update, then reroot. This solved my problems in a matter of minutes, when searching through these threads for days trying to find the info was getting me nowhere fast.

Thanks Import Roller. I'm sure you probably just saved me a bunch of time when my Bionic gets here!

the method posted by Import will only work if they havent applied the jb update before you get it. i think the version will be 4.0.4 if its ics.
if it says 4.1.2, they already applied jb and you will have to use the method Chuck posted, more precisely here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...ic-stock-4-1-2-jelly-bean-15.html#post2418689
the ics root will not work on jb, dont waste your time trying.

Hey guys,
Been doing some digging around on the web and cant seem to find a decent way to root my bionic thats on jellybean. the reason is because all the ways to root that ive seen require wifi. im sending my phone back to verizon and had my phone rooted on ics but then i unrooted and updated to jellybean. now on jb i have no access to wifi thus why i am sending back my phone to verizon for a new phone. any comments or anything would be appreciated. i need to fix this asap so please help

Cant you go by buds house and use computer? You need virtual box to root on JB simple though

its not my laptop or network just the phone itself wont connect to the wifi
