Hi everyone. I searched the forums and couldnt find an answer to this question.
My friend brought over his captivate to update on my PC (since his wouldnt recognize his Captivate). He was running rooted stock. I updated and he wanted to root again so we are trying to root using SuperOneClick v1.7. We run SuperOneClick and it says it was successful. Superuser is listed in the apps. Whenever we try to run a app that requires root access (Titanium Backup, Screen Shot IT) it was that they can not acquire root privileges. Can anyone tell me what we might be doing wrong? I appreciate any help.
Did you reboot after rooting?

So I just bought my Droid 2 the other day and could not resist the temptation to root it. Well, that process was easy enough through tutorials on here, but now i've stumbled upon a problem. When I awoke this morning, there was a notification to update to 2.2.20 (i had rooted it with 2.2.19).
No serious issues here... the update went fine and no bricking or anything. I still have all my apps and my current phone version is 2.2.20. My problem is that I lost the root-enabled features! superuser permissions is still an app, but the apps that access root are unable to (barnacle, setCPU, etc).
I'm not sure if this is as simple as going through the process again, or since it's been rooted do i need to do something different this time? I'm somewhat familiar with UNIX so i shouldn't need a fully dumby-proof explanation, but I'm not familiar enough where a barebone explanation will do it either. If anyone can help it'd be great. No rush though, phone still works i just really miss my wifi tether!
I think you can reroot using the same method

Install an update or do the .sbf recovery.
Alternatively, go in /system/bin and remove su and busybox and restore any removed system apps, as long as you haven't done any changes

i bought a Optus my tab (ZTE v9) yesterday due to the cheap price.
and updated to Froyo 2.2.
and I'm having a few problems rooting it.
nothing seems to work.
i first tried Universal Android (as whirlpool said it worked)
nothing at all, constantly failed.
i tried superoneclick it said it was successful, but when i try to use Titanium Backup, it says i do not have root, but Superuser is installed.
tried Z4Root as it apparently worked, after clicking permanent root, it would do a few things than go to a white screen and reset. and was still not rooted.
any suggestions to what i can do?
i really want to get the bloatware junk off it.
also, are there any roms for it?
bump? please?
I used z4root which works fine with with mine (not permanent)

Use gingerbreak 1.2. Search the forum.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Gingerbreak v1.2 doesn't work.
Z4root doesn't work either.
Are following the instruction of rooting with gingerbreak... like USB debugging should be on..... the sdcard should be formatted etc etc.

Now I installed superuser reboot and then I installed Rom manager and tried to install clockmod recovery this what the massage I get an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commend I tried to root 2 time and still nothing please help

You shouldn't have to install su. If I were you I'd run through the root process again, and I mean redownload the files again and check for proper adb & driver setup.
Edit: Actually first open up super user and see if Rom manager has been allowed. Also, can you boot into recovery?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Superuser is blank nothing is there and I can not reboot in to recovery

Were you using the Three click root method or the manual ADB root method?
Sounds like you didn't fully root. I recommend you root again using this method:

But before that to ensure you have adb setup, download and install this:

The three click did not work I use manual adb

Download Busybox, install, reboot, then see if all is well.
I agree with getting busybox off the market, but that shouldn't stop you from getting CWR to install, but you may need it for other apps that require it. I had the exact same problems when I rooted and I just restarted my phone 3-4 times and it worked...
I tried busy box I tried everything I could think of

Choose "fix problem" or something like that in Titanium backup. It will install missing busybox.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
it doesnt have a "fix problem" it just has "problem"? and it doesnt do anything to help. but i used root checker and it says busybox is installed correctly but when i go to check root access it says "root access is not properly configuered or was not granted. it also says SU binary not found or not operating properly... do you know what i am doing wrong??
Did you allow titanium backup root access when prompted ? You can check in Superuser.

i have the same problem as you but you said you eventually rooted the garmin how did you get it to work????
Good afternoon,
I currently have a samsung infuse which I love very much. It is an At&t, which of course has an AP mobile function. Only thing is I am using Claro mobile, which of course isn't apart of the AT&T network. About 5 days ago, I rooted my phone. Then downloaded "titanium backup". In which everything worked wonderfully. I was able to freeze the thethering option which allowed me to use the mobile AP feature of the phone.
I then had to do a hard reboot on my phone, which of course wiped my system clean. After repeating the entire process (root, titanium) now when i load titanium back it says "sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will not *work*! Please verify that your room is rooted and includes busybox, and try again.
I am so lost as to what has happened as nothing has truly changed. My firmware is still 2.2.1 Could someone please help me. Thanks in advance.
Make sure superuser app exists. If it does update the binaries in the menu. If that didn't work then you need to re root. Might also have to force an update on the super user app. I did once.

Thank you for your response. I was not able to get it to working using your method. So what I did was upgraded to gingerbread 2.3.6 Yet all I want to do is be able to use the mobile AP. I d/l super manager 3.0 in which I was able to find the tethering manager. I froze it, but when I go to Mobile AP it says " MOBILE DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE OR INVALID SIM" Could someone please assist me with this. Even if it is downgrading to another firmware. I really really need to be able to use this Mobile AP. Thanks in advance.

You were given the answer. Super user gives permission to access root files.

Good morning sir. I have seen the response about superuser. Yet after updating as suggested. It still tells (titanium backup) that my phone isn't giving it permission for root access. Would that then suggest that my phone isn't rooted?
