Blechh... You can try... but see the exchange I literally am having right now in the other thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/bi...784-will-bionic-rooted-eventually-update.html

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!

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

I tried the first time yesterday, and it stalled after trying to push superuser.apk. I had to manually reboot the phone to get it to continue. After it finished, I had root according to root checker, and Titanium would run.

Today I checked and for some reason didn't have root anymore, so I ran the one-click again and it restored root. It threw a ton of "file exists" errors in the process, but it seems to have worked. I tried rebooting the phone and checked, and it stayed rooted, but I'm not sure if it will stick this time or not.

Tried this link, rooted succesfully for the first time. I did have to manually isntall busy box and superuser from the market though, but every root test i've done shows it all went well

 

[jonburrito]

I tried to run this yesterday, and I kept getting errors. I just factory reset my phone and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

 

[beh]

The suggested fix didn't work for me. Failed saying it could not find the directories it was supposed create (busybox, etc.)

I used the one-click method and have had no issues. I installed the Root Checker as asked and it says "Congratulations! This device has root access!"

Just thought I'd help out in the info gathering.

 

[madmako]

Thank you very much.... root has returned with 1-Click.

 

[mtr08004]

Thanks... Any detail on the difference between this and Pete's?

 

[Rixx3]

Used http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12050927/1-click_exploit.zip and my phone is once again rooted. Used to be scared to root, now I don't want to have a phone without rooting it.

 

[texasshiva]

Worked perfectly. Now to remember what I'd frozen...

Alright I tried the 1 click method before I got the update and it said it went through. I then proceeded with the update and it went through. When I rebooted I did not have root. I tried the "last resort" method exactly as described,and once I boot into AP fastboot flash mode as per the directions in option 1, my phone says sending system and then says writing system INFOPreflash validation faliure..(failed) remote. When I try to reboot it stays on AP fastboot Flash mode(s) (flash faliure) the only way i can reboot normally is to go into bootloader mode and pick normal boot up from there. (this is the second bionic this happened on) PLEASE HELP

That's a little hard to follow.. sounds like you probably didn't have to do all that, you could have tried the 1-click after updating when you lost root, its been working for a lot of people. But in any case, for the situation you are in now I would use the releasedroot tool again, just follow the instructions carefully and use option 1. Hopefully this will get you to a working, restored stock system, rooted with foreverroot. If you get there, try checking for update and see if it will let you do it through the server. Since you should have foreverroot at that point the update ought to not break your root access. If it won't let you update or it fails, then continue on the "last resort" instructions and flash the file I posted to bring your system back up to 5.5.893 with root.

I know that sounds like a lot, its not too complicated though. Read through everything a couple times and you should be ok. I'm heading to bed, early day tomorrow, but hopefully if you run into any more trouble someone else can step up and try to get you back up and running tonight. In any case, don't panic, you're phone isn't broke and it can be fixed

Thanks for zerg rushing my phone back to rooted

 

[Zk2440]

so if im getting and "abd" is not a command error, what should i do?

 

[beh]

1-click fails at step 3 and "exploit zip" failed also. I was not rooted before OTA.

 

[rustedfenders]

Just installed it and it worked when Petes wouldn't. Thanks
