I have went thru the 'one click process' with what I thought was success. Now I can't seem to get SU permissions. I have read a few threads but I just can't figure out how to flash theSU fix.
A bit of help would be awesome.

You need to flash the su fix with clockwork recovery. So reboot to recovery, hold volume down + power buttons, volume down to "recovery" once there go to "install zip from sd card" navigate to the su fix and hit the power button, volume down to yes, press power button, let it do its thing, when done use back arrow til you get to reboot system, push power and it will reboot and once booted you should be good to go.

You don't have full root access if you didn't flash a custom recovery.
Did you use Captainkrtek's one click?

Not true at all. Root has nothing do with recovery, except for the fact that you need root to flash a custom recovery. You can be properly rooted and run stock recovery all day long. I am assuming the OP is having issues flashing a new recovery, because rom manager isn't being granted su by the superuser app. Is this accurate?
I would really suggest doing it the long way as you will benefit from it in the long run. All you really need to know is how to use adb. Have a look here for that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010

Whoops your right, I just think of that as part of full root. But if he has root why won't su work properly? That doesn't make sense...

I had issues after I rooted getting the superuser app to grant privileges to Rom Manager. I couldn't flash clockwork recovery because superuser just wasn't popping up asking for permission. I have no idea why. Tried rebooting a few times as was suggested in the root/s-off guide, to no avail. I finally got it to pop up by just clicking around inside the rom manager app. Can't remember exactly what I pressed, but all of a sudden it popped up, and after I clicked yes, I could flash clockwork recovery no problem.

It's because Su the application, and being able to Su to root, are technically different things. Su the app needs a patch to work on TB.

So I got the s-off with the
Guide to permaroot, s=off AND s=on!!!!! Im using rom manger but I cant go in to recovery....everytime I go to the bootloader and go to recovery it just reboots the phone. What should I do?????
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
well since u already know that by going into recovery, the long way, not rom manager shortcut way (witch we all know has it's issues), u have to hold down the power and vol down buttons at the same time, after powering off the phone, you should wait a little bit until it refreshes the status, and then try to select recovery with vol down for scrolling and power for select, once in recovery you can do your magic with the trackball,
i really hope for your sake that this is the problem, and not another that will have to make you repeat the whole rooting process all over again.
Pull the battery then hold down volume and then the power button.

Make sure you have installed clockworkmod recovery. You can double check by going into Rom Manager and using the top option to flash the current recovery (2.5.1.2)
after it has flashed succesfully you should be able to use the "reboot into recovery" option in Rom Manager without a problem.
Everytime i go to recovery from rom manger or bootloader it reboots the phone. what's wrong????
Nothing is wrong. "Recovery" is a standalone, bootable program. It is its own operating environment, and is not an Android App.
I know, im trying to get into recovery to put a new mod on my phone but its reboots everytime I push recovery.

Try installing it again through rom manager. And are you sure you are rooted fully? Try going into Terminal Emulator and type su. Tell me what happens.
Rom Manager only knows what .img files are on the SD card repository it keeps for flashing. It cannot tell you the state of flashed content.
My guess is a failed flash of ClockworkMod Recovery. Re-flash, either with Rom Manager or with fastboot.
Ok I checked if I was rooted and yes it gives me superuser. The rom manger the same as before.

When you click recovery, THE PHONE REBOOTS INTO RECOVERY.
Let it sit there after the reboot and see if you end up in recovery...

So if you tried flashing the recovery again thru Rom Manager and it says it was succesfull, I am not sure why you wouldnt be able to get into recovery either by using rom manager or by holding down the volume button and hitting power button. Then choose recovery and it should put you there. Unless you dont have a recovery, then it cant work. It should at least try to boot you into stock or something.
My suggestion would be to set up adb/fastboot and trying to enter recovery that way. If it still doesnt work then you can try pushing the recovery.img via fastboot and see if that works.
Here is a guide for adb/fastboot that takes 2 minutes to set up.

Fastboot is a client/server application. The client is the phone, the server a Linux or Windows workstation with the Android SDK installed. The interconnection is a USB cable.
If you have the SDK, or you've read about it, you may have read of a tool called "adb". Fastboot is like adb. Except adb requires a running Android OS with USB debugging turned on. Fastboot doesn't. It just requires the bootloader to be running. No Android required.
For more information, try using a) Forum search, and b) Google search. They're great tools.

so i have a tb and rooted it. no problems there. i tried a few roms switched back to stock one . then tried to flash one and i got stuck on a boot animation. couldnt get anyting to work so i ended up taking it back to stock. ive seen in recovery mode it said s-on which i figured meant not rooted... but i still have the superuser app and stuff it just wont grant access to root apps that need permission like rom manager which wont flash or reboot into recovery or anything for me now. any suggestions.. what to do or try. i tried using the same root method that worked before but it wont work this time. the phone doesnt reboot when its supposed to after the first step.

S-on doesn't mean you've lost root, s-on is a bootloader unlock. Try going to tthe superuser app to see if some of the root apps are set to deny

no i can boot into recovery but i cant flash a file of course, and all it tries to do is check the pmg005 zip file and do an update in which it doesnt even update everything.. or at least last time it didnt. so i was unsure if i should just go back to stock and then reroot

Why do you still have a pmg05.zip file at the root of the sdcard for it to scan? Need to delete, move, or rename that to get to clockwork recovery

Sounds like you've missed a step or done something wrong to not get s-off
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
haah youre probably right. i have already removed that zip file from the root directory, and i did have it set to s-off however after i reloaded (im assuming) thats possibly what is causing it. thanks for the help guys, much appreciated
ok so when i try to boot into cwm or recovery it wont even let me pick anything it just has hboot highlighted and tries to read the pmg005 zip file that is not there fails... then i can reboot, reboot hboot, but not do recovery to flash anything,
You have to redo the rooting procedure. It sounds like you flashed a shipped RUU and rewrote all the partitions.
i tried rerooting using the same 3 step method I found on Droid forums. it wouldn't reboot when its supposed to after step 1. should I just try another method
I'm helping a friend with his Nexus S 4G by sprint. We are rooted, SU is installed, CWR is flashed but volume up and power keeps going back t o fastboot. Please help.
Go down to recovery and click power in fast boot?

I know that much but it doesn't go to recovery menu right from an OFF state. I have to get to it when the phone is on from rom manager. I'd like to be able to press the up and power button and then go to recovery in fastboot. As of now it gives me the android and the box symbol meaning that it doesn't have CWR. Confusing.
really weird when i had this problem all i did was install CWR from ROM manager
It just won't stick, I have to keep flashing the latest CWR recovery.

Thank you very much, this was the fix. This post specifically
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19531979&postcount=30
just rename the file "install-recovery.sh" which is in the /etc folder. You can only access it with a root file manager (rootexplorer $4 on the market)
make sure your new file is not ending with .sh
Ok so I'm stock rooted and I want to install CWM 6.0.1.0, so I downloaded Ez Recovery from the market and also the apk from the original post here on XDA. But it will not install CWM. I tried all the options. Recovery, Hybrid, and Stock, but when I flash them and it says it was installed successfully I press reboot it takes me to stock recovery every time.
Whats the problem???
Is it possible someone could provide me with a link to the recovery img file or tell me how to fix this problem?
Thanks
This may be obvious, but are you selecting reboot recovery from ez app menu?
Yes, when I flash my recovery I press reboot
Have you run the superuser app initially? I had similar behavior in which it said it flashed but still had stock recovery. The initial run of superuser got things going and when I ran ez recovery again it asked for root permissions and worked as expected...

I saw you post this in beans thread but I didn't have a fix but then I remembered how I fixed this on my phone. Uninstall ez recovery and reinstall from market. There was a problem with the version numbers or something and this fixed that problem for me

I was having the same issue as the OP and your advice did it for me! I went back to stock about 2 days ago and I was already getting bored with it.

Wondering if any of you guys have had the problem where it flashes the recovery successfully and you can reboot in CWM / TWRP just fine. Then once you get back into the system and try reboot recovery again, it goes straight to the stock recovery.
Is this normal? Do I have to flash the recover everytime?
There is something you need to do in recovery to make it persist, some option you need to select. I'm still not clear on what it is, because its been a long time since I used CWM. I hope someone will chime in with exactly what needs to be done to make it stick so I can be clear on it as well.

When you select reboot, it will tell you that it is reverting back to stock recovery unless you fix it. You scroll down and select yes and you are good to go.

This happened to me as well when I first rooted. I had to reboot a few times until the proper recovery booted. Now that I have flashed a Rom, CWM recovery boots properly every time.

I typed this with my thumbs.
I rooted my htc desire hd and had superuser on it, I removed the programs off my phone that I didn;t want. Later on I decided to change to superuser elite. However I didn't realise that I need to have the Elite running on my phone before I uninstalled SU. Not paying particular attention to the warning meassages I uninstalled it and found to my horror that I had lost root. I have been unable to regain root and I don't know why that is but I did a factory reset and found Id lost internet. As my technical abilities are limited (I could kick myself) I'm struggling to know what to to with the phone. I realise this will take some sorting out if I haven't bricked it in my ignorance.
Thanks for any help
If you have a custom recovery like CWM or 4ext then download supersu.zip from here : http://download.chainfire.eu/351/

No problem..also you might need to update the SU binary once you open superSU from App drawer (you only have to do it once)
Do let me know if it works.
