Any one know why Root tools would give an error on it's functions.. "Error running command.Probably could not gain root."
I have root. Root checker confirmed. As well all other root functions work.
Any one with some insight to this?

Did you just flash a new ROM, sometimes I have to reboot once to gain the root back
Maybe you need to install or update busybox?

i am trying to root my buddies droid 1 using "Easy Root". i start the app, click root and it says root successful. it then prompts me to reboot my phone. i do so and then open easy root again. instead of being rooted and having superuser permissions, easy root only gives me the option to click "Root" again. i try using wifi tether and it says im not rooted.
anyone else have this problem
he is on stock froyo 2.2
thanks, Adam

try Z4root, the real mans rooting application.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
If z4root doesnt work for you I will stab myself in the heart, promise. Word is bond.
So I am getting the typical # notification that superuser binary is out of date. When I try to install the update it fails at Gaining root access .... It has always updated successfully in the past.
I still have root access, Open Garden wifi tethering is granted permissions when I use it, but superuser fails at the gaining root access point every time now.
Anyone else seeing this or have any suggestions? I would HATE to un-install superuser and not be able to gain root access after the fact !!!
Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated.

What ROM and kernel are you on?
There's an issue that Infinity ROM does not include su within the ROM package and relies on the kernel, and some versions of imo's kernel does not include it either.

I'm running DroidXcon's stock rooted EE4 with CWM. No additional kernals flashed. Have been using it a long time and all of a sudden this issue popped up.
Are you able to get root access in other apps?

Hmmm..... Open Garden Wifi Tether says it has root access and it works, using it now, so I assumed I still had root. I just opened Titanium and ..... no root!!!
I wonder if applying the sd write protect or no battery popup fixes blew it away? Do I need to re-flash the ROM? Or is there a zip file I can apply via CWM to re-gain root?
This should work for you. Let us know if it doesn't.

Nope I lost my root, that didn't do it.
I'm out of ideas
I actually have a similar problem and will not update to the 3.0
I updated and then flashed the binary successfully. Had to reboot the phone and it reports binaries are missing. downloaded manually and flashed and still have the problem after reboot.
Have you tried uninstalling the Superuser app and reinstalling? I had the same issue before and this worked for me.
I've just tried to root the device using the debugfsroot.bat method and it is not working.
I have followed the instructions, reread them to make sure I've done it correctly but no joy.
Anyone else had this problem?
That doesn't work anymore on JB.
If you want to keep your locked bootloader, then downgrade to ICS again and root it. Then use OTA rootkeeper to keep root after upgrading to JB.
Search the forum how to downgrade.

the RootDebugfs.bat file has a number of error condition handlers, what error are you getting when attempting to root?

It is not apparent that there are any error messages. I've attached two screenshots, including the final one which claims I have root.

After you finished, you have to launch (open up) the superuser app, then download "root checker" from the market and use it to verify that you have root.
Well it seems as I've managed to solve the problem. I went into Superuser after doing the root, then under info, checked and updated and now root checker says I have root!
Just upgraded to Jellybean following instructions in one of the threads and have root as well. Now to install CleanROM!
hi people,
i am on firmware 800d20y, just bought the d800 today. i did the 'brute force' method, which initially worked, but after a short while, i lost root access. I literally have no idea what happened, the stump root app still says 'device is rooted', but the root checker app says i don't have root access. I tried a couple of different apps to check for root access, and all show that I do NOT have root access.
any help, ANY at all to get root would help immensely! I'm trying to get a custom recovery (prob twrp) so i can flash a cm12 nightly rom...
im still a little new to this, any help would be appreciated!

i did, and it even worked (it showed 'rooted' on the download mode on the g2), and when i checked on the phone, it had supersu on it. BUT, supersu failed to update its binaries.... and root checker still said i was NOT rooted.
i am considering putting a stock rom on it to 20c (the update before 20y) using LG Flash tools. any links/suggestions would help!
thanks
I guess you have done permanent unroot under super su app in the past. If so then you have to flash stock tot again.

i just downloaded kingoroot and plugged my phone in (the pc version) my phone is ZTE Zmax 2 Z955L from straight talk i think i just got it rooted BECAUSE
Kingo root says "root succeeded", and on my phone, a thing popped up asking to give root access to "super user"
however, the root check apps return it as not rooted. i dont know what this means and i am up for sharing screen shots.
Also most, if not all apps tat require root, will not work (at least for my case) because eventhough it asks for root permission, it will say that its been denied.
Please give me your thoughts about this

okay so i trie getting SuperSU from chainfire, asked for the binarys, so i hit install. but it wouldnt do anything but sit there at the installing window so i rebooted my phone and root was gone. in the kingo super user app, all the root access items that i allowed were still listed but it said there was no binary.
i tried rooting again with kingoroot and it said it failed.. not sure what to make of this
but do please give me your input
Kingo PC is working now. But your need to uninstall kingo superuser app in order to get root. or you need to go into kingo superuser app to Deny and Allow a few time for it to work. it's only a temp root. we need TWRP now!

You could try factory resetting the device... I haven't tried that but just a thought.
I'm hoping this might be the first step to getting root on Zmax 2!!! (I also hope I helped a bit)
King root via PC worked fine for me. I have debloated so far with success. I'm check for a super user dependant test, like hot-spot for super users and we'll get back at ya!

Wow, can you double check to make sure you actually rooted the phone, Hemanolio? If the Zmax 2 is truly rooted (and not just temporary) then a lot of people out there are going to be really happy! :laugh::laugh:
I just bought one myself from best buy. just waiting for it to get delivered in the next few days.
The Kingo App (kingoapp.com) worked as a temporary root. Kingroot didn't work for me but I didn't have the drivers installed when I attempted to use it first. This worked for me on two Zmax2 phones and allowed me to remove all bloatware. Both my devices are firmware B12 (ATT GO Phone requires ATT sim to update). Works like a charm but seems to be temporary.
AFAIK ZTE sells an unlocked version of this phone that isn't carrier branded so eventually it might be possible to get more reliable updates that way or perhaps a clean stock rom with just ZTE bloat. I don't have much hope on all that though.
What are you using to remove bloatware? KingoRoot successfully rooted my phone and the Root Checker is reported that it's all good, but every app that I use to remove the apps is failing. I can't manually do it either, I get errors.

You can use the Kingroot app itself to remove things you don't want namely the ATT software all of it plus all the Google apps minus the play store.
Not really
Kingo does not really work. All I succeeded in doing was changing my search engine in firefox. I'm sure it's great for all the other phones, but this one does not work.
EDIT: Should mention mine is Z958
Using Kingo root and all it tells me is unknown network error.

So, apparently it was temp rooted by kingo, but was able to install king root (which failed to root), but every so often king root pops up with a root error warning...I press the back button and it takes me to the full king root app with all the options, including debloating, and now Wifi Access Point app works. Tethering was my main desire, so I'm satisfied. Again, I temp rooted with kingo and then installed kingroot
zmax 2 does have perma root
mine is currently rooted (fully & permanently) just had to disable system read/write protection with this method: androidforums(dot)com/threads/zte-write-protection-for-zmax-and-other-zte-phones.1040331/
afterwards i ran kingo root pc, then ran the droid version* then used supersume. voila persistant root working on z955a zmax 2
does this help anyone? hope so
ran both pc and droid version because pc version was not detected by supersume. droid version was. using droid version only might be quicker and still work. not sure

Yep. Makes sense because the Z955A is the unlocked version.
For folks who have the Z958, the story isn't as easy. But the info should help the Z955A users.

I'd bet the Z955L is locked in the same manner as the Z958.
I may attempt to root my Z958 but not until I get my new phone (the Z958 is a backup since my Nexus was destroyed).
Any update on the z958 status?
Thanks
