Motorola pushing small update to 4.5.605. You WILL LOSE root.

**jcarlosfox** · 09-21-2011, 11:52 AM

Just got an email from Motorola Feedback network about a new update being pushed to members. It takes you to 4.5.605 and will fix keyboard stability and performance. There was no request to keep it confidential.

I don't even use the Motorola keyboard, but what the heck, I only use root for a call blocker.

The update is fast, and will kill your root.

So you did the update and lost root? Did you try and root again? If it just kills root but you can root again with the same method then its all OK. If not we need to warn everyone.

Have not tried to re-root yet. Heck, it's a slow day.....I'll give it a shot.

**jcarlosfox** · 09-21-2011, 01:53 PM

Great call!! I am ROOTED AGAIN. (In 9 minutes - no less!)

I did NOT have to remove the SUPERUSER files from my phone. I just ran the updated One-Click:

One-Click Root for Stock Gingerbread (Droid X, Droid 3, Droid X2,

I am rooted again. So, take the update - and then re-root!

There are a few other users as well I have spoken to, and that have posted on the non-root thread, that they have successfully re-rooted as well. I wouldn't say this update is for EVERYone. Some users are also saying FINALLY! Guess this keyboard issue has been around a while, even before .602

Anybody tried booting into clockwork recovery after rooting the .605 update? I tried both droid x bootstrap and flashed recovery in rom manager, either way my phone just boots to a black screen instead of recovery.

Do you have USB debugging enabled?

You are good my friend. Booted straight into recovery after shutting it off, Thanks man.

Just took the OTA on rooted droid x with 602 using Droid 2 bootstrap. It disabled root.
I tried to root without success. I had to do the following BEFORE i ran the root script to re-root.

In adb shell type:
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/system /system
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su

then ran the one click root Droid 3 easy root script v7.

Worked perfect.

Ur welcome. You learned the way I did when it happened to me.

**jessman1988** · 09-22-2011, 03:32 AM

Hey guys. I am stock rooted on 3.2 and don't wanna update because I don't wanna wipe my data again. Is there a way to reroot without backing everything up? Did you help a n00b today?

Please help this one.

thanks everyone.

**miamifin33** · 09-22-2011, 09:37 AM

If I'm on Apex RC3, am I able to get the .605 update somehow? Or do I need to SPF back to .602, pull the update? And if I do that, will I be able to install Apex RC3 again?

Nope, that will bring you back to 602

I just got 605 and want to root it. I used to be rooted on 2.2.1 and had to sbf to update to the OTA gingerbread. Ever since I've stayed stock. I want root back but it was so easy before with z4 root. Does anyone know a easy way to root 605 on a MAC? The instructions in the link only say windows PC. Thanks guys.

I am so totally lost on this one. I have been leaving my phone alone for a while since ninjamorph and metamorph no longer do a damn thing on GB. My phone is rooted with a few small mods but pretty much its stock. I have uninstalled apps, like DX Swype and a few others. Do I need to SBF then take the updates and then reroot and set everything back up?

**seanubis** · 09-26-2011, 02:23 PM

Just sharing a success story..

Got bored with my old Froyo ROM (Rubix with a few tweaks) and decided to SBF back to stock Froyo today. I took the .605 Gingerbread update after I did, and was able to root that with the one-click script, with no problems at all.

**VAVA Mk2** · 09-27-2011, 05:57 PM

So what exactly does this build fix? I have been using the Gingerbread Keyboard I downloaded off the market instead of the ugly Motorola keyboard.

**VAVA Mk2** · 09-27-2011, 06:03 PM

Also mine keeps failing the OTA updated. Yes, I am rooted, using TBH's prerooted .602 build. I have defrosted all my bloat but about a quarter of the way into unpacking the update it cancels and reboots, telling me update failed. Suggestions?

**tsargent347** · 09-27-2011, 07:51 PM

The pros here are probably going to suggest to sbf to .602 and then try and except the .605 update..(im not quite on pro level) lol

**tsargent347** · 09-27-2011, 07:53 PM

Ive never done a sbf but from what ive been told it will take you back to completely stock, bloat n all

**VAVA Mk2** · 09-27-2011, 07:55 PM

Eh already working on sbf'ing now. Updated my backups in Titanium. Hate having to SBF but oh well. And I can just refreeze my bloat with bloat freezer after I restore all my apps in Titanium.

**tsargent347** · 09-27-2011, 08:30 PM

Howd the sbf go?

**snppr22** · 09-27-2011, 10:02 PM

I did the .602 SBF and took the .605 update and my phone is just flying. I don't even use the stock keyboard. Maybe I am wrong but I think my issues started with using the TBH leak. Maybe I did something wrong but whatever it was, the official OTA is great, for me. I used Motorola One Click and it was as easy as Z4.

Also could be that I went with unistalling all the bloat - I mean all. All the Blur .apks and others. Also did clean installs of all the apps.
