Ok I have updated to the Official OTA Gingerbread as provided by Sprint. Now keep in mind I stay on these forums to also change my roms and stuff of that nature. Now I searched and found that xHausx had rooted the official release of GB and I proceed and obviously do everything down to the T. Well since I dont have a reboot and then recovery option in my power menu, I have TERMINAL EMULATOR installed and so I type in SU and I get the ALLOW OR DENY request from SU app and it gives me the # so I type in reboot and I get the message "not permitted!" so now im like wtf? - can someone please help me figure out why the root feels half assed? (no discredit to his work...) Im just tryna figure out how im rooted but when I try to reboot I cant....any help would also be appreciated!

Hi yes i am a noob i just currently unlocked and rooted my nexus one. My question is i have terminal emulator installed and when i type su enter it goes to the superuser permission and says su request and my keyboard pops up but it never allows me to do anything. What am i doing wrong? I also would like to know how i can do a back up of the stock rom with root as a back up. I have heard of nandroid but cant find a place to download it or a how to. Finally how do I install themes? Sorry for the questions coming from iphone 3g where this could be done using winterboard.
Thanks ,
Jason
Anybody i know it is probably simple but i have searched but cant find it ?

The su popup reminds me of a bug from the days before cyanogen created a rom but when he gave us the "making bacon" update that added root and what not.
What is your ultimate goal, are you going to be flashing a rom (ie cyanogenmod 5.0.x)? That will fix your root issues, among many other enhancements and fixes.
Easiest way to nandroid is with an appropriate recovery image. Check out Amon_RA 1.7.0 link here. Read instructions three times, flsah it, then you just boot into recovery and create a nandroid backup.
And themes are rom specific, there are a lot for CyanogenMod and Enthomer (2 major nexus roms). But you flash them via recovery screen, same way you would flash a rom/update.
Also it is stuck on su request for metamorph.
Ok I would eventually like to flash a rom but how will i be able to update and is the cynangon one the best?

This thread probably belongs in the general forum....
It's all preference. Personally I think it's the best, and most widely used, but read around and check out the different options that different roms offer and decide what one sounds best to you.
How will you update what? Whenever cyanogen (if you go with CyanogenMod) releases an update, download it and flash it. You will get updates MUCH more frequently and faster then stock will ever get.
so i just got my captivate. i've rooted and put busybox on it, i'm having some trouble trying to remove the at&t permissions so that i can install my own apps. But im wondering if i can/should skip this process and go ahead and install a custom rom. and are there any that you guys can recommend that might resolve the issue with the gps and remove the lock att has on installing apps. thanks in advance.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751182 will help you with all of this. I am using it with my Captivate, I can sideload apps, get off AT&T Market apps, it got rid of their bloatware. Most of the bugs that it had with the stock ROM and bloatware are gone, very snappy now, GPS, for me is working fine, my battery life has increased drastically since flashing with this. Hope this helps. Are you sure your rooted? Do you have Super user permisions and Titanium Backup? If you don't then you aren't rooted but this Unleash the Beast ROM/Tool will root it for you too!
Sorry but I forgot, you can find ROM Manager on the market get it and make a back up of your current ROM just incase you need to flash back to it for any reason, it's easier than using Odin. This will also give you ClockworkMod Recovery.

thanks for the post, ive tried two things so far the one you sent me and another 8mb file but both wont allow super user to function properly so i cant get sideloading to work. everything else seems to be fine all the bloatwares gone so is the att boot but sideloading wont seem to go. i tried running scripts in another install and now when i open the terminal emulator and enter su it says permission denied. is there a whole rom i can install a madaco rom or something. i've even heard people mention there was an early froyo rom floating around for the galaxy s

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734871 is what I've seen as far as early Froyo releases go. Too buggy for me, I will wait for the real thing or until more bugs are worked out of the early one.
Not sure about the other ROMS or sideloading, I haven't tried it yet. I'm a noob to Android and I am learning and reading before doing anything that I can't fix.

both threads have a lot of info on the sideloading. Hope this helps.
hurray fixed. i just had to clear the data on SU and then ran sideloader in terminal, hurray best phone. if only i could figure out how to keep these buttons on the bottom of the phone lit whenever the phone is on. theyre constantly turning off then ive got to do a double press thing once in a while.

Glad to hear. Yeah those buttons are a small annoyance for an otherwise awsome phone, I'm used to them now. Enjoy your phone.
Hey guys
(Sorry think i posted this in the wrong section first time round)
Got a MID816R2 stuck on 2.3.1 seen some nice new Roms out there and firmware updates, but cant seem to get them onto the device! Rom manager clockworkmod recovery does not list this device so cant use this (unless someone can tell me different)
Terminal emulator gets denied by Superuser.
even tried ADB, but get a permission denied message
Other issue is even though i can transfer files via USB direct to PC, and device is shown on ADB, there seems to be a driver issue in recovery mode, tell me no driver for android 1.0 strange cos i am running 2.3.1 which came from the seller installed
Is there any kind of Bootloader unlock tool????
Anyone knowing any way to update the firmware or install Roms on this device please help :-(
If you're getting a permission error using ADB then make sure you type sudo in front of it.
ROM Manager put out an update today to help with new or unrecognized devices. But let me ask you this. Have you rooted it first before you try and flash CWM and junk?
Hi,
Thanks for the first response
Yes its rooted (using superoneclick)
I think the bootloader is locked from the seller? i did hear they are releasing rom manager 5 soon, so if they do list the MID816R2 my issue should be solved?
When you say type sudo in front of it, you mean in front of ADB or ADB then SUDO then command?
Thanks again ;-
I mean type sudo before anything else in the command.
If SU is denying you then you're not rooted. Or SU is just being silly. Make sure your binary is updated for SU and if you're still getting permission errors and whatnot try rooting it again. I've seen it before where it only does a halfway root and installs SU without actually gaining root access.
Thanks for the advice, i used root checker, and it says rooted and busy box installed? used superoneclick to get root as nothing else was working, is there anything better to get root? (although i do think its rooted)
Try the super one click root. Put the phone on debug mode. More information add on msn. [email protected]

Hello everyone on xda,
This is my first time posting here so yes im a noob .But i have searched the forums and i am not successful in finding the right answers.
[SITUATION]
I have managed to install ICS 4.0.3 stock rom to my nexus s from gingerbread 2.3.4. i got the update from this site. I was able to install super user v3.0.7 and spareparts, terminal emulator, blade buddy. I learned how to use ADB and fastboot but just the bare minimum I wanted to try out some custom roms and kernels but i need to back up my apps n data.
So i downloaded titanium back up. I got an error about root rights. My phone is rooted and unlocked so thats weird. It also said i needed to download busybox. so i tried downloading busybox, its always unsuccessful . no matter what i try. i was able to mount the system but no can do.
on another note, i tried using the terminal emulator and putting su on there after a while it says denied. and i get no prompt coming up either
So hopefully someone can help me with my situation. Btw i have no internet access here on my phone as im a soldier deployed overseas and cannot use my phone to connect to the market, wifi is also unavailable here. I also had to wipe everything from gingerbread 2.3.3 in order to get 2.3.4 and ics 4.0.3
some step by step guide would be plentyful. thanx

Hello everyone i am new to the forums and i am asking a question regarding updating the su binaries on my phone. I got my g2 back in november because they were out of one m7s and this was the second best phone. So i went home and figured id root it. I didnt really want a rom i just like being able to record my screen and mess with the clocks. So none of the ways to root this phone worked so i tired this one in chinese. I succesfully rooted my phon. And it installed supersu. It said i needed to update the binaries so i hit ok. It said it failed. I tried updateing them by moving the .su directly to the folder, but sense i dont even have root permissions because i dint have a .su, it was unsuccessful. So what are my options? Im only 14 and kinda new at rooting, i have done it on two phones before, so please keep it simple. I dont care about keeping my data so i can i flash a stock rom? I. Tried it before but the method was for the 16 gig version which used a kdz file and sense i have a 32 gig version i needed a different file for some reason. In my phone settings it says im rooted and in recovery mode it o whatever pressing vol down and power with a usb connected do does, it says so to. I do NOT have access and i cant figure out how to update the .su and i could really use some help. Could you give me a link or something showing me how to flash a stock rom, or cyanogenmod? Or just getting a way to update the .su would be fine. Sorry for the long description i just want it to be easy for you to diagnose my problem.
Thanks,
Riley

You can check this thread about root on your device: [Root] Stump Root for LG Devices (2012 - 2014) Big update 1.2.0.
And here is the SuperSu app thread: [STABLE][2015.01.20] SuperSU v2.45.
In the first post there is also a zip file for flashing in custom recovery. If you use this, you won't need the binaries updating process like after updating via Play store.
For registered users, there is more help in the root Q&A thread for your device, and for the SuperSU app update in the SuperSU support thread.
Thread closed. Thank you.
