[TOOLS] R3L3AS3DRoot and 43V3R root for the BIONIC v2.1

[drice72]

Every time I have run this script I get the following error. What does this mean?

I have also tried Petes moto tools and one moto one click root tool. Neither of these would even run. I have run all of these on more than one computer. I have no clue why these won't work.

Same Problem

i don't know what I did wrong, but I've successfully SBFed that's all though. :/ :excl::icon_question:

I finally figured out what the problem was. I used the 'flashme' download. That took me back to. 886. I ran the forever root. I kept getting errors, missing files. I went out and got the missing files and put them in the forever root folder. Then I got rooted, and forever rooted. Then I updated to. 896. Kept root but had the boot failure. I finally figured out that it was my computer. I went home and ran the. 901 fix.bat. That allowed me to boot and verify root. I then loaded the. 901 update. I am now on. 901 with root. I would like to thank all the people who have put up these guides and moved their links around in this time where the DOJ is kicking in doors. I also have the WIFI hack installed. Runs like a champ. My mobile hotspot hasn't tried to start up once. I have my bloatware frozen. I really really love this Bionic now!

Would you by any change have download links I could use and a little more detail about which files to put where and such? Or a link to a thread you got this info from.

I will post that for you tomorrow when I get back home and near my computer. Basically it amounted to a lot of reading and following links.

Thank you so much for that. I can only imagine, I was reading through threads for two days just to try different programs. I tried like 10, I just want root for Avast and wireless hotspot. It's been way more difficult than it was with my DX.

This is what I get. I still have the superuser.apk from my original root, but it stopped giving root access after the update to .893. When I start the phone, I get messages that bootstrapper and light flow were granted root access, but titanium backup can't get root access. Even after this, it still doesn't work.

The zerg rush fails before I get this error at the end.

USB debugging is on and phone set to charge only. Doesn't work.

OK, looking in root explorer, it's mounted as r/o, but it won't let me mount r/w.

893 Root to ForeverRoot

I'm rooted with 893 but I want to ForeverRoot so I can sideload the 902 update. Do I follow this process just the same or do I need to do something different since I'm already rooted?

I'm rooted with 893 but I want to ForeverRoot so I can sideload the 902 update. Do I follow this process just the same or do I need to do something different since I'm already rooted?

As far as I know this process will do the forever root on your phone. If it doesn't, here's the manual method:

Forever root manual method:

Open an app such as Root Explorer from the market
Navigate to the system/bin/mount_ext3.sh
At the top of the screen press the Mount R/W button
Long press mount_ext3.sh
Select copy
Navigate to sdcard-ext
Press paste (this will put a clean copy of this file on your sdcard in case things go badly)
Navigate back to system/bin/mount_ext3.sh
Long press mount_ext3.sh
Select Open in Text Editor
Scroll to the bottom of the file
Press the the return key on the keyboard to put a empty line
type the following:

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk

(note: there is a single space between chmod and 4755 and there is a single space between the 5 and the /.)
