[Q] Rooted Atrix unrooted by update

I rooted my atrix about a month ago and I did an update that was sent to me by at&t a week or so. Before I did the update I installed all my third party applications and apps that require to phone to be rooted. I went to use one of my apps that worked before I did the update and it now says the phone is not rooted. I was wondering if the phone unrooted with the update? If so how do I root it again without having to flash it and what not again. I DO NOT want to have to customize my phone all over again.
Can anyone share any light on this for me?
If you did not use a method to retain root (ie, copy /system/bin/su to a 'safe' place like /osh/sbin, make sure it is still chmod 6755), you currently have no option but to "GingerBreak" (and potentially wipe your SD cards) or to flash back to 4.1.26, psneuter, hide root, and update again. All Motorola updates so far remove the suid bits in /system. If I were you I'd just backup my SD cards and download the GingerBreak .apk. There's plenty of information on these points in the Atrix forums. G'luck

[Q] Upgrade to Kitkat or stay on Jelly Bean?

Hi folks,
I've had my Z2 stolen a few days ago and I'm going to get a Z1 compact to replace it. Sad story I know
Now I have a simple enough quesiton. The device itself comes with Android 4.3 and 16 GB of internal storage.
One thing that bothered me on Z2 was that I couldn't move the apps to the SD card, but with Android 4.3 I can.
When I get the Z1c next week I plan to root it, after taking a backup of the TA partition of course, but then I wonder will I be able to move the apps to SD storage and are there any issues with this?
It's my first 4.4 device that will be rooted, I was reluctant to root the Z2 since there was no way to backup the DRM keys, so I'm not aware of any limitations or drawbacks of upgrading to the latest version of Android.
I don't mind staying on 4.3 if that's the advice from the community
Thanks!

Thanks mate!
Should I root first, or let the phone update itself first?
And last question - is there an app or hack for KitKat to easily move applications and data to SD card?
I used to do it with Titanium Backup Pro, but I'm not sure that option exists anymore.

Theres an Xposed module to enable the old behaviour of the external Memory Access. It's called HandleExternalStorage

Will easyroot work for JB 14.2.A.1.114??

My phone came with this firmware although I've just bought it about 2 weeks ago. It's running smoothly and I don't mind living with it but I want to root the phone in order to be able to use apps like link2sd to move app from phone storage to external SD. That's basically the only reason I want to root the phone. I just want to know if the easyroot method will work for this firmware and will rooting only be enough to move apps to SD or will I have to flash a custom rom?

[Q] Move Apps to SD Card

I have a rooted Xperia T3 running Android 4.4.2 and FW 18.1.A.21.. How do I move apps to SD? I have tried Apps2SD, AppMgr III and etc. but still can't move downloaded apps to SD. There is also no move to SD button on the AppManager.
Can i ask how you rooted your sony xperia t3? i dont know how you did it because ive been looking for a way to root it for al ong time.
after .25 update it's possible in app settings.
Can't update phone to the last version
Hi, i have Xperia T3 with the 4.4.2 software 18.1.A.1.21 and I didn't recive any update. When I go into the settings and update phone, they ask me that the last update installed but i didn't install new one. I need new upgrade because he has support for moving to the SD card. My phone have warranty for 2 years and I don't want to lose it if I root phone or install manaully update with the flash tool . If anyone know how can I install last update without losing warranty, or if anyone know how to fix that problem with the moving on sd card, I'll be very thankful for that.

Write permissions in Lollipop

Not sure what happened with write permissions in LP, but after update I seem to have more troubles with it than before.
For instance, FolderMount can no longer write to ext sd even with root access. Another example, ES File Explorer says it's not possible to enable root explorer feature on my device (again, despite having root access). Those are two main issues I encountered so far, but I'm guessing, I should expect more stuff like this in future.
I thought I had some kind of root problems, but then, most other root apps, even xposed, work just fine.
People said that giving your sd card a label can help, but it did nothing for me.
DAE have problems like this after update?
