I've been rooted for awhile now but now every time I try to open a app that requires root it just hangs and then FCs or just tells me I don't have root access. The SU app just FCs as soon as I open it. Is there anyway to lose root? I can still boot into clockwork and flash a ROM. I read about the SU app having issues with some sense ROMs but I am on CM7, last release.
I had that problem a few weeks ago. When you rooted, did you use the 1-click or the hack kit? I originally used the 1-click, but the phone started having issues so I ended up getting some help and flashed back to stock, rerooted using the hack kit, flashed a new ROM and kernel, and haven't had any issues since. I believe there was a Superuser fix posted in the FAQ of the 1-click if that's the method you used.

Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik prior to flashing your ROM?

I used the 1-click awhile back and never had any issues. The superuser fix in that FAQ only pertains to Sense ROMS I believe. I'm on CM7 at the moment.

Yea, I always wipe prior to flashing even if it just an update. I may try to reflash latter tonight to see if that corrects it.
sounds more like a super user error. If your still having trouble try reinstalling the apk, and possibly going into recovery>advanced>fix permissions.

It let me update it from the market and now everything is good to go. Never even thought of trying that. I figured I already had the newest version since I was on the most recent CM7. Many thanks.

Some people have requested this, this is Gingerbread KF2 Deodexed + Root and odin flashable.
This contains all bloat.
Instructions:
1. Perform Factory Data Reset/Wipe Data (If you skip this step it may still work but may leave existing apps and may cause FC's)
2. Flash Via Odin
3. Wait 5min to boot
4. Hit Thanks
The messed up Rainbow at boot is normal if using Froyo BootLoaders just wait it will boot.
Below File contains no BOOTLOADERS
T959VUVKF2 NO BOOTLOADERS
Thanks
Dr.Honk for answering all my stupid questions.

nice dude!!!
Been looking for this. Might be enough to make me give KF2 a try finally.
Thanks.
Nice up man

If I apply this (without manually doing a factory reset along the way), will I retain all of my apps and app data through this process?
I know I've used ODIN to update to the current stock release and used ODIN on my Vibrant and didn't lose my apps and app data.
Yes, there was some people in another thread that said you ALWAYS lose data when you update. I know they are wrong, but not sure what the case is with this particular update.
Does that fact that it's deodexed make it less likely that the data will be retained?
just flashed and waited 15 minutes on the rainbow screen, flashed again,same thing. how long does it take to boot the first time?

This will erase all apps, you need to use titanium backup first if you want to save that stuff.

What were you running prior to this flash?
If you are having troubles with this flash please give more info, what rom did you have before, what bootloaders are you using? Any info helps so that I can narrow down any issues and fix them.
Thanks.

had the fully stock gb rom that shipped with the phone. i was able to flash with no problems, just cant get it to connect to the network just keeps saying searching, wifi calling and txting work just fine.
-edit
oh right after i did the flash, i did do sgs unlock pro app. not sure if that would of caused any problems but it looks like my IMEI is showing up as .[]x[]~ ".[]x[]~
I was having issues with this version and getting stuck on samsung screen a whole lot; and i'm talking about i started clean with KC1 full with .pit>whitehawkxKD1+root>then this rom.
tried the other route and odined back to KD1>boot into cwm>checked mount and flashed the cwm version. worked flawlessly; except the rainbow, ofcourse.
my recommendations are quiet obvious

So I found a trader who's looking for a Droid Charge, but he wants the phone to be completely stock, no root, CWM, or roms of any kind. I am currently running a rooted, lagfix enabled, EE2 rom from imnuts and I want to know the proper steps to fully get the phone back to stock settings with no root, CWM, or anything loaded. Can anyone link me to a guide or just tell me in what order to do things? Thanks!
Before I start I'd just like to say I haven't personally tested this yet, this is just what I've heard on these forums.
First you should disable Voodoo(you always want to do that before flashing) and then flash this

OR this
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...harge-full-factory-tar-flashing-software.html
Again, I haven't personally done this so if I were you I would wait for another response to confirm this before doing anything.
Tried it
I tried the method from the mydroid forum. It worked great despite me being unable to diasble the voodoo for whatever reason (I just wiped everything I could through CWM). I am still a bit worried but I have't received one error or hiccup since reflashing to stock last night. Go for it, super easy.

So when you re-flashed to stock, CWM was removed as well?

I used the my droid world link referenced in the post above. I tried the gingerbread leak and wanted to go back to the old baseband due to bugs. It worked perfectly, it took me back to the way the phone was shipped.
I believe it was. But I haven't tried too load it up since I got the tom back up. Well try in a bit

Hello. I went from the Absolution CM7 7.0.1 stable to RCmix the newest one. And I did a full wipe everything needed. But Parts from the Absolution ROM stuck with the RCmix and I lost root.
I was just wondering what I should to get everything to normal. Back to root and on RCmix
When I type SU into terminal I get this message (Segmentation Fault)
TLDR; conflicting roms after flash, lost root.

Your sure you did a factory reset??? IV been all over the place, and never had a problem flashing a new rom...
Boot into Clockwork mod and format everything except your sd card. Then install the ROM. Factory reset and format are two different things.
I went back to the previous ROM and root and everything came back. I flashed RCmix again. After full wipe and all. Problems came back. Could it just be the rom?
Have you tried to enable superuser in the settings of the app?

Certain Roms I've noticed need an update within the Super User app. Try that too and get back to us.

Just to clarify.......WHAT parts come back when you flash a new ROM? HTC Sense will restore some settings and Google will attempt to install some apps after logging into both.
Same issue here, I lost my root when I installed this ROM I tried updating SU but I got an error of some sort, a little frustrating. Going to install I didfferent ROM

Pretty sure I remember having to uninstall and re install super user and then update binary from program before I could have root access on rcmix. As for settings coming back, its all tied to your google account. Whatever you've setup in settings menu will resync. Also if you do not select "wipe data/factory reset" your android.secure folder stays intact, which can cause issues.

Hey guys, I'm currently on the ICS leak and SCV7 rom, and my phone just keeps crashing and restarting, I've cleared the cache and dalvik cache multiple times, I don't think it was doing this on 2.3.6. What can I try? I just took this thing out of the box
Couple things you can try:
Factory reset.
Try NOT overclocking.
And try removing the supercharger script.

Thanks for the reply, it was doing it on the leak as well because I had a lot of trouble getting it rooted. It seems that every time it crashes it goes through the boot loop, crashes at a certain part, then boots properly to the lockscreen. The phone feels awesome and fast but extremely unstable. Another problem I'm having, root doesn't seem to be working, "Super user has denied Super user request" nothing can get root, so I can't boot into CWM to try and wipe stuff properly. Maybe I got a dodgy version of the leak or something I'm not sure, I guess I'm lucky I didn't install the OTA and I can go back. Any idea on the root situation?
EDIT: Just did a factory reset in stock recovery, can you tell me how I can go about not overclocking removing the supercharger script? And once it boots, if it boots, I'm going to try and root using the ICS .bat root script and hopefully I can get into a custom recovery.
When installing SCv7 is it normal for it to get stuck on the Preparing SCv7 message and then reboot? I'm not sure if it's installing scripts and restarting the phone or what... Because it did this the first time I installed it, and it's doing it again now after a factory reset. If I can get into CWM I'll try and flash the rom again. Can I flash the other ICS rom after a wipe, or do I need to FXZ back to 2.3.5, OTA to 2.3.6, flash the leak, then install the other rom?
I installed the other rom based on the leak, same problem, tried without my sim card, without my sd card, just keeps crashing, boot looping, and being generally unstable. Atm I'm using Jims FXZ script to go back to GB, I'll update to 2.3.6, keep everything stock and see how the phone goes, I'm really hoping I don't have the same problems on GB, because if I do then it seems like a hardware issue, and I really can't be bothered sending it back. I'll keep updating.
Rdavisct has posted in the SCV7 thread about how to remove those, and yes mate, I think you're on the right track with FXZing back to 2.3.5 and the re-updating to ICS.
Let me know how it goes. I'll keep an eye on this thread. :fingers-crossed:
I need to get the battery charged then I can fxz back to 2.3.5. Hopefully it all works out. Any ideas what would have caused the crashing?

I hope it all works out because I literally only got to use the phone for about 5 minutes . Really liked ICS, super smooth super fast, screen is awesome. Crossing my fingers. My old HTC at least lasted a month or so before bricking .

I'm running Scott's CM10.1 build, and have been since early December. My Infuse has been rooted for over a year.
Last night while trying to use MyBackupPro to back up my apps and data to prepare to flash a new ROM, I kept getting a notice that Superuser was not responding. So, I disabled Superuser and then re-enabled it and tried again. Still nothing. Went and cleared cache for Superuser and tried again. Nothing.
Tried some of my other apps that require root access, and they wouldn't work either. Downloaded a root checker app from the Play Store, and apparently I no longer have root...
How do I go about fixing this? I'm not sure what caused me to lose root all of a sudden, and I'd like to be able to back up my apps before I flash a new ROM.
I had that issue also, in order to fix it, I had to revert back to stock, then do all the upgrades over again with the added step of installing 4.1 before installing 4.2/10.1...for some reason it's happened to a few of us on here, there might be another fix if you search around, but this is what worked for me...I believe some people were able to work around it with a different super user app, that didn't work for me but is something else you can search
Sent from Myfuse running a Jellybean rom courtesy of Scott.Hart.bti's way better attention span then I'll ever have...
Thanks man. Didn't want to go through that whole mess, so I ended up just flashing Scott's BeanStalk ROM without doing a factory reset since that ROM comes pre-rooted. Everything went smoothly. Now I've got root again and can back up my apps properly, and then re-install this ROM after wiping my system to get rid of any bugs.
Mods can close this.
I'm surprised no one has mad a flashable root zip for this device...its not that hard and would be perfect for scenarios like this...I may make one later today if time allows...just gotta add a couple files to the zip
