    Root Droid Bionic on Jelly Bean for dummies. In plain as plain english gets

    Easy Root for Bionic Stock 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)

    Finally! Success! I didn't doubt the method, but I wonder why it didn't work for me. After multiple failures using the factory wipe so the procedure could root a fresh phone I finally ran RSDLite5.7 and through the fastboot menu replace the install image with...

    Root Droid Bionic on Jelly Bean for dummies. In plain as plain english gets

    Looks like I can't move superuser without root access. Kind of a catch 22. Programs that can move the su.apk need root to run look for su.apk in /system/app. Posted via Android Central App

    Root Droid Bionic on Jelly Bean for dummies. In plain as plain english gets

    Okay... tried the easy method a few times from different computers with no errors but no root. Tried this method, to eliminate the virtual machine, no errors and root checker says I have root sometimes yes sometimes no. Programs that require root say no. So I'd like to know how to push the...

    Easy Root for Bionic Stock 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)
