New RAZR HD & Jelly Bean

**joansin** · 12-08-2012, 08:08 PM

Sup Nation!

I just bought a RAZR HD and love it! Was excited because the Jelly Bean update was pending and couldn't wait to get it loaded. After I was up to date I then realized..... I need root in order to Tether. WTH

. I've rooted all my previous devices but don't know how long it will be before there will be a method for Jelly Bean to be rooted on the HD. I really don't want to go back to ICS then root just to have to go through it all again. Any suggestions or am I stuck waiting for a new root method?! Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Regards,

If you are on VZW's new Shared Data plans, you don't need root to tether any more. They no longer charge you fees to tether, just so long as you are within your data plan. To them, data is data now.

I'm in the same boat, with unlimited plan. I should have known better than to update, but just wasn't thinking! Need a root method for JB, or a safe way to get back to ICS so I can root.

Search Rootzwiki for RAZR HD as well as this forum for the stickies on root.

mattlgroffs razr hd utility 1.10 will safely get you back to ics, will root said ics, and will also install voodoo for you...will even, should you get the inkling, install safestrap 3.05

after you do that, go into voodoo, protect root, temporarily unroot, upgrade back to jb, go back into voodoo and restore root

Don't have the shared data plan.... no thank you!

I have ways of keeping my unlimited plan. There is no way I'm losing that gem. I only root to get the hotspot capabilities.... I used 16GB in Sept and on average I use 7GB a month. I can't go to a shared data plan without going bankrupt.
