Update 6.11.748 Kills Root

[Mudvayne622]

I assumed titanium could actually restore something it says it has backed up.

Know where I can find said "system dump"? I see Cory did one for the bionic, but I think it's just different enough to matter. For example that dump doesn't have a qp.odex, only an apk.

Post #4 on the Razr OTA Wont Install thread has all the info you need about the system dump and getting back the files you need. good luck

Yes the update does kill Root but I was able to get it back with one click using OTA Rootkeeper from the Market. My update procedure was as follows.
1. Backup apps using Titanium Backup and Defrost Bloat
2. Download OTA Rootkeeper and backup root.
3. Unroot using OTA Rootkeeper
4. Install Update
5. Restore Root with OTA Rootkeeper
6.Enjoy an OTA and still have Root

Your results may vary but it worked for me flawlessly. Beacuse i know there are a few Root methods its worth noting that I did use the DoomLord 1Click Root to originally gain Root.

Hope this was helpful.

I don't usually go to the trouble of signing up for these forums, but this information on how
to navigator the 6.11.748 ota update was simply excellent. The solution was clean and efficient; and I seem to be able to check my progress each step of the way. Hopefully whatever the benefits of the update the exercise of learning the root backup via otarootkeeper, install and reroot was valuable. Appreicate your expertise!! Many thanks!!

Updated and my root was still intact

Which method did you originally use to root the phone?

I tried rooting using DoomLord's method and it doesn't work for me. I'm getting some "Read-Only" errors. Any ideas on this?

 

[PossumPete]

I just used "Motofail" and it worked! Funny name for something that actually works.
