I've done the simple root with NAND setup without hiccup but when trying to backup with ROM manager it says it doesn't have permission.
I have a terminal app and it goes from $ to # when I type su
is there anything I can type in terminal to see if my NAND is actually unlocked?
I also cannot get clockwork to install but titanium has busybox installed.

seems like you have partial root.
do you have "superuser.apk" installed?
try "adb shell" should give you # automatically.
if not, try the root and nanlock again.

I do have # automatically in adb shell, I'll edit this post in a second when I look for superuser
I do not have superuser.apk
Is there anything I can type in terminal and screenshot that will tell you anything?
did some research and downloaded the busybox standalone app from the marketplace.
It says that I am rooted and I installed the busybox.
No changes. only thing i can think is that my NAND is still locked? any way to check this?

do you have a custom recovery?
try this SUPERUSER app
you have to flash it via recovery.
http://bit.ly/su222ef
if you want to check nand..
try this command.
"adb remount"
from command prompt.
if it fails, you dont have nand.
if it completes succesfully you have nand access.
I don't have a custom recovery, can't get any to work or I'm just not doing it right... I'm coming from Windows mobile...
Here's a screen cap of what you requested except on the phone and not adb, don't think it matters for this simple test.
EDIT: Thank you very much for your help with this.
I had the same problem. I re-rooted using OTA SimpleRoot and also tried unrevoked and still had errors trying to flash Clockworkmod recovery. I went into Menu>Settings and clicked on Advanced Mode and it worked.
Will try to help whrn I get to san antonio

Thanks a lot for this! I spent all day trying to figure this out. It seems unless Advanced Mode is enabled this doesn't work. FWIW I'm using DC 3.2.3. Once I enabled Advanced Mode I was able to flash to the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery!
Thanks for this post!

I used AndRoot to root the .6 official. I have SU on my device.
How do I install the custom recovery? Im being told permission denied. At which point do I begin the process now, at flash_image?
Thank you thank you
Try this, get terminal emulator from market. Find Amon RA 1.7 and download it, move it to root of SD card. Open terminal, type su (return) then type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-Darchstar.img" without parenthesis and hit return. Cursor should pause for a sec then drop down with # behind it and your done. Install quickboot from market and hit recovery, BAM!!!!_

i appreciate it but id prefer to do this on my pc via command prompt.
how can I install a custom recovery, so that i can install a rom?
at this point i cant even get access to delete apps. as far as i can tell all that happened was that SU was installed. i have none of the abilities that I had before. any help is super appreciated.
Then get Rom manager from market and let it do it for you. Open app and tap on flash clockwork recovery.

ok, i just did that. told me it flashed the recovery.
thats it? this will now allow me to access /system/app and delete files? im gonna try the hold home and power now to check out the clockword recovery.
I really appreciate your help. I am in /system/app now and am gonna delete the crap outta this stuff...
thank you thank you
one last question: can I now delete those apps i installed from the market?
If you are not gonna change recoveries then I would keep the app, it does a lot of diff options. Be carefully what you get rid of in system/app. You can get rid of fieldtrial.apk, fieldtest.apk, and GSD.apk which are extras you don't need. One last thing, read this forum inside and out, get to know the wiki and search bar; they are your friends.

I followed all the steps to root my Nexus S
Super User is installed
I can I tell if my phone is Rooted correctly?
I can not get rom manager or Set CPU to work both say they can not get super user permissions
Last question
How do I boot into CW from my nexus S?
I flashed it threw comand prompt on the computer and was able to use CW to unzip superuser but after I reboot the phone I cant seem to access CW unless I reflash it.
Any ideas?
THanks
Yeah I have the same issue but with Titanium Backup. When I launch it I get the popup saying it was granted superuser permissions but when I actually try to use it it says ROO access --> FAILED

Try installing busybox from within titanium backup by hitting the problems button.
That did the trick! Thank you so much!
Do I need to do something else? I used Alpha what ever its called, all wen't fine, S-OFF but tried Titanium back up and am told it needs root access, tried screenshot and it wont work?
Tried the process again but it won't let me, says I already have S-OFF
You need to root the phone first using Gingerbreak.

Not at all mate. Just download the gingerbreak .apk file to your sd card, open it & it will install gingerbreak on your phone. Then once this is done go to the gingerbreak app and run it. It will root phone but you will need to do a manual reboot afterwards. Don't worry if it says something along the lines of things went wrong, just go ahead and reboot.
Peace
All you do is download and install it then click root in the app then reboot the device you should get an error before you do a reboot then you should see super user then go to rom manager cwm

S-OFF allows you to obtain root access. In Linux terminology, root is a user with total permission over the machine. In terms of Android, all you need to know is that it's the Superuser app and a binary (executable file) called su, that needs to be installed in the /system partition. S-ON disallows you from touching the /system partition. So even though you turned off security, you didn't actually install su and Superuser.
FYI: Su is not an application, it's a command.
All done now. Thanks for your help.

I'm having a problem completing the upgrade to 2.2. I have a XT720 from Cincinnati Bell and was following the procedure from their website. I successfully did this upgrade on my XT720 and was upgrading my wife's phone. Everything was going the same as my phone until I got to "Install System Recovery". When it was pressed there was no prompt for super user access. It came back and said successful install and I pressed the OK. Then I pressed the "Recovery Reboot" and nothing happened.
After that happened I did a factory reset, using the settings>privacy>factory data reset menu , and tried again with the same result.
I'm sure this has something to do with not prompting for the superuser access. What might be happening?
Same happened to me first go around. There tutorial Os horrible. Revs is better. All I Did was restart And then I got the SU prompt. Use universal androot And root again If su isant in your app list. Universal androots is more convenent than super one click
Disconnect the phone from the PC before using the install option from the System Recovery app.

I cant remember, but I think I did do that one time. I think I went through the whole procedure 4 times.
Why do you think there was no prompt for the su access?

Well tonight I gave it another try and I disconnected from the laptop before starting the recovery app. No joy! Here's what happened after following the CBW instructions and skipping the optional Titainium backup step.
1. Started System Recovery from the phone per pg 15 of the CBW instructions.
2. Pressed "Install Recovery System". I did not get a request for super user access but it did say install success and I pressed OK. Almost immediately after pressing OK I got the following error
"Activity System Recovery (in application System Recovery) is not responding. Force Close or Wait.
I pressed wait and nothing else happened.
3. I pressed "Recovery Boot" and after a short time got the above error again and I again pressed wait. Nothing ever happened.
This all worked fine on my phone!
Any Ideas?

I think you're not rooted. The System Recovery app always says install success even when it crashes and burns. Did you remember to turn on ADB (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging) before rooting?
You can also try to root using UniversalAndroot 1.6.2-beta5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
Another option is that you accidentally denied Superuser access. Open the Superuser app and see what's in the logs/deny lists.
Try running another app that requires root access (e.g. Titanium Backup). Do you get a popup asking about root access?
I just checked and it's still turn on. Does it matter if it's on or off while you're running the Recovery program?
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to using Androot?
Can you check to see if you're rooted?

I'll hook er' back up and install Titanium and see if it prompts me for su access. I'll let you know waht happens in a little bit.
When I use Superoneclick it never detects the software version and asks if I'm on 2.0 or higher. Is this some what normal? After i say yes it goes on it's way and seems to complete. It also did this on my phone and it upgraded without a hitch.
Well I installed Titanium Backup and it prompted for su access I clicked OK and it started up. On the main screen of Titanium it says:
Root access: OK (BusyBox 1.17.2 from system)
So I think I'm rooted??
Yes. You can try to uninstall the System Recovery app, reboot, & re-install it. Mod My Mobile has the Open Recovery files & manual installation instructions. Or maybe try copying the OpenRecovery.apk to the sd card & installing it with a file explorer (e.g. ES File Explorer or Astro from the market)
FINALLY!! YEAH!! I'm updated!!
I've watched some videos by reverandkjr and he wipes the Dalvik Cache and the Cache Partition. Should this be done??

Open your Superuser app and see if you've denied access or what the logs say.

Didn't CB's Froyo have a hidden SU? I can't remember I only ran it for a day or two before Wanhu's was brought to our attention.
Edit: Doh!! not if he hasn't flashed it yet.
I've got into Open Recovery and have already flashed to the 2.2 CBW image. Is there any benefit to wiping the Dalvik Cache and the Cache Partition like I've seen on reverandkjr videos.
I will wipe the Dalvik, cache & data/factory reset whenever I flash a new ROM
Okay, first off, I have searched. For the last 3 hours I have searched!!
I foolishly used Razorclaws one-button root method and it worked, However everything after that point has been an utter failure. I tried to flash recovery, and nothing. I tried using CWM, and nothing. I open Super User and it just closes. I don't know what else to do. Yes, I saw post 275 in the razorclaw thread, but when I put in the command list, it tells me it doesn't recognize the command. I previously had a Nook Color and had the easy adb installed. I don't know if this is my problem. I have a B70 transformer, I just want to unroot. I tried the Super User update fixer, nothing. The Transformer is running fine, I get force closes on some apps. I just want to return to stock. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I unrooted it. But the superuser apk remains in the app drawer. Is there any harm that can be done by having it? I would like to 'successfully' root and flash a rom, but judging from my inability to flash recovery using the one-button method I will wait. I would love to overclock this beast!
You can delete this thread, I apologize for wasting time and resources!
have you tried rebooting and then re-rooting?
how did you unroot ?

I did not reboot and reroot, I did have to download the SDK in order to use the adb functions. I used the info provided by doaist to remove su permissions, I suppose. When I checked through the razorclaw app, and terminal. I was not given su access. So, I assumed I didn't have su permission.
And as soon as I try to get into the adb shell and type 'su' it says 'permission denied' , I don't know what else to do to remove it.
Thanks for your input guys, it means a lot.
Okay, so I redownloaded said apps, and I am now performing a backup. Which rom should I use? Which rom will allow me to retain stock functionality , and which OC kernal should I use. Is there a rom that has both?
