hi im new to all the rooting so i tried the one click root method found on xda and it says it is s-off but none of the rooted apps work on my phone i do have rooted access though adb. it seems like im missing the superuser file. is there a way to push it over alone?
Just go to the app market and get superuser, and clockwork recovery.
i tried but it says im not rooted and wont give me permission

I had rooted via Z4root, and everything was great.
Then I get the update from Verizon, and it unroots the phone when installing the update.
So now it is unrooted, everything works, but I am unable to root it again. It also has superuser still installed. I would like to know how to get the superuser app removed, maybe then Z4root would work again?
I would be willing to try and do a sbf wipe as well, but I could not find anything that works, or instructions to help an idiot like myself get it done.
I have already tried wiping it back to factory, but the superuser is still there.
PLEASE HELP!! I want my rooted phone back!

My guess would be that VZW plugged the exploit z4root was using to gain access. May be necessary to hold off until a z4root update finds a new one, or flash back to before your VZW update.
Good luck!
Hiya - I would have posted this as a reply in the "Root the OTA updated RUU with gingerbreak thread" here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057104
But unfortunately things have changed here recently and since I have < 10 posts I can't reply in that thread directly, so I'll go ahead and discuss my findings in here.
I returned to stock a while ago because I didn't like the radio, gps and sound differences. I like the stock ROM fine enough, but I would like root on my phone to remove the ATT bloat, use Titanium Backup, etc.
Since I rooted my phone a while ago, I already had S-OFF, so that wasn't a problem. I received the OTA update a while ago. Today I used gingerbreak 1.2 (via adb push) to root the phone. The rooting went well - Superuser was installed. I went ahead and installed busybox and that seems to have worked, but the root itself isn't stable.
For instance, every time I try to run Titanium Backup and it asks Superuser for permission, Superuser crashes.
I also get the same result when I run term emulator and attempt to issue a simple SU command:
"the application Superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
So it doesn't seem like this method is going to work so well for me after all in order to achieve my goal of a stock rom with no bloat. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, is there a workaround? I don't assume so because I don't see one in the thread, but still I thought it prudent to bring this to your attention.
Thanks!

I did see that once, open the superuser.apk then pen the app again as a temp workaround, once they get permission they tend to work. If it persists, I believe you can update the su binaries and that should resolve it. I think it has to do with the version of su that gingerbreak installs. Someone who has dealt with this problem could probably better answer it, but this may help.
once gingerbroken can cwm be installed?

As long as you have s-off, yes.

I did that and SU still crashes whenever an application asks for root access or su is invoked from terminal. I even installed the latest superuser binary from the market.
The bonus is that I can at least enter custom APN settings, so that's nice.

I have CWM flashed from when I first rooted the phone, but when I select recovery it just gives me the exclamation point over the phone.
bump - anyone get anywhere closer with this in testing? Thanks!

Now that sounds like the recovery.img has been corrupted. Even without root, if recovery.img is fine it will boot cwm. I hate to say it, but I would RUU to stock and start the process over, and verify that you have CWM before proceeding, as my method does not have a recovery.img to flash.
The other option would be to try attn1's pd98img.zip of the Inspire 1.84 RUU in the dev section, that may also work, then let you flash CWM recovery from ROM Manager.
Hi I rooted and unlocked my Galaxy S 4G yesterday. Today I thought I'd try free up some space to get rid of some bloatware. But now my phone is no longer rooted. I noticed superuser was no longer installed. I re-installed that. I tried to install busybox as well, and it also says that I am not rooted. Titanium Backup also says I am not rooted, and root checker confirms I am no longer rooted as well. So decided to install superuser again, but it did no good. Anyone know how my phone could just unroot itself?
No idea why it would, but you could just try either using cwm or odin to install a prerooted rom on your phone.
when you unlocked your phone you probably unrooted it normally you would unlock and then root if I'm not mistaken could be wrong though
Thread moved to proper forum.
did you flash the Bali kernel over KD1? I did that, and it unrooted. It happened to me twice...then on the 3rd try, root stuck, the only thing I did different was when I flashed Bali, I only did the lag fix on the /data, not /system...but eventually I did/system as well, and still kept root.

I had to root the phone first before I could unlock it. Used 010 Hex Editor to get the unlock code.
Used this procedure.
just ran superoneclick. All rooted again. Hope this one sticks.
I have an HTC EVO 4G phone which I am trying to root using revoked3, unfortunately with no success. I keep getting the unable to root. Firmware is too new error. I have read dozens of posts on this topic and have tried all of the suggestions from changing my PC connection from charge only to data disk, installing HTC Sync and uninstallng it, I have the proper drivers installed, have USB debugging checked etc. I have unstalled all apps and even factory reset my phone with no luck.
Does anyone have any idea on what I am missing.
Thanks a bunch.

This seems to have worked somewhat. When I look in the HBOOT screen it shows S-OFF now but when I run Titanium Backup it says could not acquire root privileges. I did get busybox as well but it will not complete the install process saying phone is not rooted. What am I missing?

Hey I'm pretty much a noob to Android.
When I first got my phone I rooted and installed cyanogenmod with pretty much no problems. Well that was a while ago and I was getting bored of the rom I had, I decided to change my rom to MIUI. Well the rom works fine superuser was still installed, so I tried running busybox and then got the message that Superuser denied busybox. I usually get the option to choose if I want to allow or deny an app with root access, but not this time. So basically I've been looking through google and some of the replies said I needed to reroot... Which I have no idea how to because I already have it "rooted".
I'm just confused because I got a root check app and it says im not rooted, The I got rootkeeper and the status said I was rooted and superuser is installed.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Miui is an overprotected ROM IMO. You have to go into various security apps to enable root access

Miui is already rooted. Superuser is not needed. LBE replaces it and handles all root access. delete superuser and let LBE do its thing.

Thanks a lot, I opened LBE Guard and allowed myself root access. So simple but lesson learned.
