I downloaded Matt's utility and fastbooted back to ics, i rooted and installed voodoo. however when i try to protect it and go back to jellybean, the root does not stay. i still have voodoo but no root. please help.
When you use Voodoo to protect root you also need to temporarily unroot with Voodoo. Search for Voodoo in the Motorola RAZR HD Q&A forums, there have been quite a few postings about this.

Can anyone tell me the best way to root the charge. i have looked and most of the websites have diferant root methods. And i want to know the best way to root the phone

Same here. I just got my droid charge and did the ED4 update out of the box. I tried GingerBreak but was unsucessful.
There is no rooting process for ED2 or EE4. If you are on stock EE4 you need to go here to get a EE4 build with root already done to it. The only build you could root so far is the original ED1 build.
Here is a link to what you will need tho http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116867
Actually, you can do this by simply loading a rooted kernel. Here's the quick and dirty instructions, I'll make a better post later.
Download the PBJ kernel from here on to your SD Card:

Use Odin to install CWM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804
Boot in to CWM and install the PBJ kernel.
After that, you should be rooted.
Is there going to be a root process at somepoint that gives people root who dont want to flash kernals or roms? Similar to the ED1 root with gingersnap?

I'd be surprised, since Odin is so easy. I'm not sure what the one-click method did to get root, though, so maybe it wouldn't be too hard for someone to do.
Can you root stock EE4 with odin? I thought you had to load a rooted kernel or something like that.

No, you do need to load a kernel. Here's the detailed How-To I wrote up:

Hey guys, i have a motorolla droid 3. xt862. I am running cyanogen mod 7 and it is rooted. i flashed the Blur_Version.5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US file using stock recovery and now the droid 3 bootstrap is gone and wifi wont work. im stuck with cm7 which doesnt work. I would just like to go back to the way it was when i got it stock rom and everything. I have no interest in custom roms because absolutely nothing works and it is all very buggy. Please i need help urgently! i hope im not stuck
is there anyway to go back to gingerbread 2.3.4? i can't seem to get rid of cyanogen mod 7 because i have no bootstrap and i can't install it again.
It sounds like you did an RUU? ? ?
That should have gotten you back to stock. Basically you need to get a working RUU version, of the latest OTA and run that. Or get a rooted stock rom.

So i recently got an galaxy s2 skyrocket and performed my first android root using the skyrocket easy root zergrush app.
I am running stock 2.3.5 and am on ATT . The only things i have done is install the COM, froze the tether, and un installed a few bloatware items
My question is...
How would i restore this to stock? Un root and all?
Also how would i install 2.3.6?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
2.3.6 got pulled, so you'd have to install a custom rom.

That answers alot!
When 2.3.6 or the next release is published will i be able to get it via a normal "check for updates"

If you rooted using DoomLord's method, then use this.

For 2.3.6 I would flash Silver's zip for the rom. You will need CWM.

Fellow noob
So I'm fairly new to android as well, I would highly suggest taking a look this thread goes over rooting, kernals roms and going back to unroot...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268
Then a couple of the apps that have really helped me out are Titanium Back up and Rom Manager. Makes flashing roms very easy, between easily flashing CWM and rebooting into CWM with just a click. Then TB with it's auto backup's and being able to quickly restore when you've flashed that new rom. (I paid for both of these apps, so I'm not sure what features the free versions have)
I flashed to Silvers rom to get to 2.3.6 and it's working great, was very easy to do!
Anyways, hope this helps!

Droid Charge with a self debloated 2.3.6. If I reinstall the stock kernel, and convert back to RFS, can I install the update.zip from CWM for the version that Verizon keeps pestering me about over this without having to do a wipe?
Couldn't find an answer on the forums easily.
Yes, but you won't be rooted anymore.

Hi,
I had just flashed stock ics onto my skyrocket( from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398), When I went on, I saw that my superuser was still there, even when it was not supposed to be there. I was just wondering if it would be safe to root my phone again.
Thanks
Daniel
