ICS Root Tool

[rafterman414]

Just ran this and everything seems to be working fine. This is my first foray into the rooted phone world so I have some research ahead of me, but superuser seems to be working just fine.

sorry to be a pest but say i have to bring back a refurb droid 4 back to verizon, is there a .bat/1-click unroot out there yet?


edit: well i dont plan on installing a custom rom (just want to be able to freeze bloatware).. so maybe i just do a hard reset yes?

Tried to root my phone this morning and it is not working. The tool says the following lines:

[*] Waiting for device...
[*] Device found.
[*] Rebooting device...
[*] Waiting for device to reboot...
[*] Rebooting device again...
[*] Waiting for device to reboot...
[*] Attemping persistence...
remount succeeded

Thats where it stops and nothing has changed on the phone. I have Superuser and BusyBox installed (manually from the store) and Titanium Backup (the program I am wanting to use) but it still says that root access is still not availble. Any ideas on what im doing wrong or how to fix this.

Jsnweitzel's Droid4 Utility I think has an unroot option, otherwise use RSDLite to flash stock ICS and then root will be gone.

Actually the ICS tool doesn't have a unroot option. I just tested the unroot that was used on GB and it worked! I will be updating the ICS tool in the next day or two to include this.

You need a carrier unless you use voip over wifi.
