Can someone please post a link on how one goes about rooting their phone now that superoneclick does not work after GB update? I didn't root before the update, and just tried to go through the process but to no avail. I really want to start flashing roms and unlock the power of the phone now that I have seen GB.
correct me if im wrong but i think you need to flash a rom that has root already.
as of right now you cannot root GB.
Run nvflash from the Dev section. Follow the instructions closely. There is a video available. Then flash xboarders rom. Then you will have a rooted updated rom.

First, download the rooted GB 2.3.3 ROM and copy it onto your SD card

You won't be able to root with Superoneclick or any other rooting app. The easiest and fastest way to go about this is to flash CWM via NV flash.

After flashing CWM reboot in recovery mode and flash the rooted ROM and voila!
You have the newest baseband and a rooted GB phone.
P.S. To be honest, I think the only reason that makes it worth going through all this trouble is being able to flash the new baseband on your phone.
Good Luck!

That is the easiest way to get root access.
Thank you all! So I'll be able to flash CM7 after this?
Also, I would assume devs are working on a way to use superoneclick, am I wrong?

I keep seeing this same reply and wondering... Can't someone make the necessary root files a flashable zip and then we don't have to flash a whole ROM to attain root?
Actually, so far they can't. The way you get root on your phones is by finding a security exploit so you can write a few files, and busybox simlinks to the system. Then, it installs superuser. No roms are rooted on android by default (well, stock ones anyways.) Since all the current methods to root a gingerbread rom don't work on the new update, this is the only way to do it for now.
Hello
I need to create "update.zip" file that I can apply (flash) using the stock recovery that comes with stock ICS 4.0.3 .. Changing some wallpaper files and notifications....
I found this link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732957
But I am afaraid that this will not work in ICS , or at least it needs CWM ...
I don't want to use CWM recovery , reason = I have to unlock the bootloader and loose all my data ...
Thanks
You can try to root your device with SuperOneClick and install ROM Manager in order to install CWM.

Thanks anyway .......
Now back to topic question :
I need to make "update.zip" working from stock ICS recovey..any tool or how to ?
To my knowledge it needs to be signed by google to do it through stock recovery. We have no current way to sign something like that, which is why we use custom recoveries.

Can't the dev gurus "imitate" the signature from a stock ROM zip ?

Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to root with SuperOneClick, install Titanium Backup, unlock the bootloader, install ClockworkMod and then restore all your data?
So far Google's signatures haven't been cracked as far as I know, and doing so would probably only cause them to change them. Also, the stock recovery has far less features, such as nandroid capabilities which are very useful if you want to tweak your ROM every now and then.
I know losing the data can be annoying, but if you back it up properly it won't be too bad. Now you're just waiting for the point to bite the bullet and do an oem unlock, because you know that deep down inside you want to. =)

Can I install SuperOneClick from the phone ? Have you got a link ?
Actually I unlocked the bootloader and used CWMR before when I downgraded from ICS to GB (then went back to ICS by the way) , but locked the bootloader again after that ....
Can you please post me a "problem free" root method for stock ICS ROM 4.0.3 ? is it the superoneclick ?
Thanks

should i restore my recovery to stock recovery from CWM recovery prior to GB v20b update? or will GB update remove it?
if i do have to remove it how can i prior to GB?
well I updated from v21a to v20a and can´t install or use cwm, but i don't use it at all so it's your call
Never mind Gingerbread Update uninstalled both CWM and Root
xtian63 is right don't worry about it just update it then root it again if you wish and install cwm again.

Hello,
I have a Motorola Atrix 2 that my friend somehow had put it on the stock rooted deodexed 2.3.6 rom. Then following that he un-rooted it while still on the stock rom and now I can not root it at all. If anyone knows a was to root this device I would love to know or a way to flash it to were it is completely stock so I can root it. I have just had alot of trouble with the apps and I want to go back to another rom or the stock rom.
Thanks xda-developers, Aedyn.
what have you done to try to root it ?
in the development forum there's a clear step-by-step to root stock ROM ..
*Reply*
I have used the click to unroot application...
He had a few other roms on it before so he went and flashed the deodexed 2.3.6 rooted firmware to it then unrooted it.
Now alot of apps will have force closes and I cant log into myyearbook.
Id like a way to get it to a complete stock firmware...
Thankyou for the help!
Try super one click. That's what I had to use as the other method did not work for me. I posted a drop box link to it in this thread a while back. Just do a search for it.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA
1 Hard reset your phone once
2 Follow steps as shown at Deodexed rooted ROM page.
3 You will be rooted else Follow the instructions to root 2.3.6
Good Luck...
If none of the above works, you may have to
1.) flash the 2.3.5 fkz,
2.) root 2.3.5
3.) install bootstrap
4.) flash 2.3.6 deodexed (which will retain root)

Or you can try to do this:
1.) flash 2.3.5 fkz
2.) update OTA to 2.3.6
3.) root 2.3.6
4.) install bootstrap
5.) Up to you (you can stay on stock rooted or restore another rom)
I have been to the stock odin root page and the link is broken. so my questions are
1. i have stock gingerbread 2.3.6 stock everything unrooted, i was wondering if i could possibly flash any rom on here and essentially be fine? Like CM9 for example could i flash a cm9 rom and be fine as long as i back up my EFS folder? or do i need to have root access first? any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need root to flash custom roms.
This guide will teach you how to use heimdall one clicks. Since you have gb already you only need to flash the antonx kernel one click.
