Exactly. This was mentioned in another thread too. Thanks for posting.

Worked like charm!

**docnlk** · 12-15-2011, 12:51 PM

Thank you. Worked perfectly!

**kmstr113** · 12-15-2011, 03:21 PM

That worked Perfectly. Now what was it that caused root to be lost. I just got my Bionic Yesterday, Had it rooted about 4 hours later, and over night it lost root. very frustrating.

Click the link and run it. If the 3 ppl right above you could figure it out, it can't be that complicated can it?

Make sure you have the motorola drivers installed for your phone. Just run the runme.bat file and it should be good

***** responses? Really? I'm sorry, is the fact that I didn't add a smiley face after my statement making it sound like I was being a *****? You can't take someone talking to you like a human being without coming on here and being snarky? Someone who was doing nothing but trying to help you?

How about coming back and editing your question or adding something letting people know you figured it out? I get genuinely concerned for people who ask for help when I advise them and then don't hear back right away... isn't that *****-like of me? How about the 100 times a day I'm checking this beginner-level forum for the sole purpose of putting together advice and instructions for people who are lost and need assistance, just so I can feel satisfied knowing they were able to fix it and continue and I was able to help? Does that make me a "*****"?? Swear to god I'm done with this crap. Nobody appreciates a thing you do for anyone around here. No one does any reading or research or thinking with their own brains, they just plug away and demand help when they break stuff and then...have the nerve to call MY attitude pricky?

I'm not even angry, believe me, it takes a lot more than some snarky forum poster to make me angry. But I am definitely sick of the ungrateful crap on here and helping people who don't give a crap. Good luck everyone. Thank this guy.

" You can't take someone talking to you like a human being without coming on here and being snarky?"

Yeah, because "If the 3 ppl right above you could figure it out, it can't be that complicated can it?" was totally not snarky at all....

**LDubs** · 12-16-2011, 03:50 PM

Suit yourselves, fools, but I can tell you from personal experience that 2DefMouze is one of the most patient and helpful folks on this and many other forums. He has helped me and many many many others with rooting, adding custom ROMs, unrooting, rerooting, OTA updates, etc etc.... so you might want to cut him some slack.

Especially since he started a thread for the sole purpose of helping folks who did the OTA update and lost root - not because he ran into this issue himself, but because he's a long-time member of this forum who saw others in need and ran to their assistance. This is what he does.

Chill out, and do what he says. Don't panic... read up, read the instructions, read them again, follow them to the letter, and you'll be good to go.

Sheesh.

**2defmouze** · 12-16-2011, 04:28 PM

LDubs that's very kind of you, thanks man

Anyway whatever I was tired and more irritated before than I should have been over one dumb remark. My original comment was NOT trying to be snark.. I've never used the tool in the OP so couldn't give instructions as i normally would.. But I saw the guy needed an answer and didn't want him to have to wait forever for one, so i was only trying to be reassuring that based on other's success he shouldn't have a problem figuring it out. If it came out as snarky or rude then that's just the "lost in translation" aspects of forum posting. I'm always polite and helpful on this board. And I didn't appreciate being referred to as a ***** in any sense. But whatever. I'm over it, water under the bridge.

please explain to me how you were trying to help with the comment you made .. i see absolutely 0 help in that response ,it was just a disrespectful response to a simple question ..
now this guy "crspyjohn" who posted right after you with this response "Make sure you have the motorola drivers installed for your phone. Just run the runme.bat file and it should be good " ,that right there is what someone would call "Help " but apparently you have a different definition of "help" ..
im done with you fella ,just think next time about how your going to "help" someone .

**2defmouze** · 12-16-2011, 04:36 PM

Read my more recent response and you'll hopefully see where I was coming from. If you don't, whatever. Not worth a dumb argument.

**lindsayj1** · 12-16-2011, 04:58 PM

Lol I think he was much nicer than my engineering proffessors, your posts have helped me many times.

**bumpncarstereo** · 12-16-2011, 05:45 PM

So, I did this method and it said I am rooted again. I forget what the next step is. I tried to run Titanium, and it said it cant get root. I have super user installed and active, along with bionic bootstraper. what am I missing?

and thank you specifically 2defmouze for your help on other matters.

Thanks.

Your welcome

I've had the Titanium issue myself and just posted in the other thread on this... Sometimes you can just reboot and open Titanium, it will ask for SU permissions as normal and you'll be good to go. If that doesn't work you might have to clear the SU cache and data under settings>applications>manage applications>all, find superuser and clear cache and data. That just means for all your root apps you will have to re-grant permissions, but ought to fix the TiBu issue. Let me know how it turns out..

**bumpncarstereo** · 12-16-2011, 06:06 PM

OK, cache was already clear, and I cleared the data. opened TiBu and still the same error. I rebooted and still nothing.

Thanks

Are your other Root apps definitely getting root access? Download Root Checker from market and let me know what that says.

**bumpncarstereo** · 12-16-2011, 06:15 PM

It says I do not have root access. should I run this one click again?

thanks again.

Blechh... You can try... but see the exchange I literally am having right now in the other thread: Will the Bionic be rooted eventually with the update

I think you guys are not going to get there with 1-click, but I think you have a good chance if you try the "last resort" method of mine.

EDIT: To everyone else up in this thread who have rooted with this method, would you also download Root Checker and see what the result is? Want to see if it is isolated to a couple guys or if this method is overall just going to give temporary root access and not full in the long run.. thank you!

**Hokuto_Man** · 12-16-2011, 10:05 PM

I just rooted my bionic on monday with petes one click..didnt know about this update..installed update and lost root..i did a device reset like the original poster said ..then i did the one click method mentioned in the original post and i have root again on my bionic 5.5.893..thank you to all the people posting their knowledge..i'm kinda noob to rooting and without the info here i'd be lost..thanks again..

oops i think i got threads mixed..lol..i've been reading so much i got 2 different threads mixed on this forum..at any rate..much thanks to all who have helped..

Root works perfectly with this method.

Results: Congratulations! this device has root access!

The 1 click method I posted works perfectly, I rooted 5 phones so far for my family / friends. There're 2 1 click roots out right now, the original and this modified version. Make sure you're using this version.

BTW: I had to run this twice for it to work. It just stalled on the first time around

Huh... I'm glad that is working... hope the guys who it failed for are reading, maybe they just need to try again
