[Q] Can't get full root acces

I have HTC Desire rooted with the latest Unrevoked.
I've installed the latest HBOOT.
I've installed CM 6.1.1.
And still I only have partial root acces, for example I'm unable to mount system with adb.
I can't uninstall system apps.
On the other hand there are some apps that require root access that work without problems.
It's driving me crazy, I've tried everything allready.
Rerooting, wiping....
Nothing worked.
Help please!

hmm.... if you found 'su' symlink from /system/xbin delete it

[Q] "su" permission denied -superuser not denying Terminal Emulator

I im attempting to install this bootanimation with sound. With the direct instructions from the op here
When i type "su" in terminal emulator permission is denied.
I am setting the system folder as read/write using root explorer.
I tried it with just root set as read/write
I tries it with both as read/write
Still no go -permission denied
Superuser does not have any apk listed as being denied root access. Superuser has never prompted me to allow or deny terminal emulator root access.
Inspire (obviously) running CM7.0.3
Am I doing something wrong? or missing something? or could this be a error with terminal emulator and/or the ROM?
Thanks for any insight or ideas.

you should be getting a pop-up from super user right after you type su in the term emulator and hit enter.

i have this problem too

I had a similar problem like this when I first started out.......I ended up downloading root checker...which not only checks for root...but makes sure you have a recent version of busybox installed....in my case I didn't. I downloaded and installed busy box and it fixed everything.
Not sure if this will help you, but thought I would try.

Thanks S.Reno9. I installed root checker and I did have busybox installed and still no dice. I dont know what the deal is.
I really hope we can get some more help on this.

Reading this post confirmed the issue came from using Root Tools. What I did was move the cache back to data and SU started working again.

I also have this problem. How did you "move cache back to data." (sorry for the noob question)

same here
after type "su" dont get any pop window only permission denied
what to do now?

A couple things to try -
1 - Clear data from Terminal and Superuser and try again
2 - Uninstall and Reinstall Terminal and Superuser
I have had success with both of these suggestions and different times with this issue
Whoa - just noticed how old this thread was before you posted. Guess it's better than opening a new one.

Solved!
I tried installing busybox but no luck.
I copied the executable (in your case sh script) to root, and now it works fine

It's Super User issue
For me it was because of Super User updates and the problem solved after I had uninstalled the last updates for Super User
recommended from Google Play.
Thanks for the tips.

Root was succesful, superuser is installed, but I don't have Root access.

I rooted my Motorola Charm with superoneclick 1.7, or atleast I thought I did. superoneclick 1.7 did say the rooting was succesful and I have superuser installed.
But when using Link2SD it says I didn't have root access. So I checked with Root Checker and apparantly Link2SD is correct. This is what Root Checker has to say:
Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.
Alternate su binary location:
/sbin/suermission denied
SU binary not found in the system delcared PATH
Does anyone know what could be the issue? And if not, then would anyone know what is the safest way to proceed from here? I already have superuser and superoneclick says it is Rooted, I'm not sure what would happen if I were to root it again.

I had the same problem with my Milestone, rooted it using AndRoot. I used Superuser to update the su binaries, but still nothing. Then a simple reboot fixed it

My Milestone2 rooted successfully by SuperOneClick 1.3 ,
you can use the 1.3 version to root

[Q] problem With SU in CM9 beta 2

The Root Apps such as No-frills, Root explorer does not Prompt for SU permission therefore I am unable to use them
I used basic root checker to check root access it says "your device is not rooted"
I went to SU app to check for apps if they were denied the permission
But there no Apps in the LOG list...
I tried reflashing the ROM twice dint worked
I had flashed this over Creed's ROM 1.6 ?
Please help

[Q] adbd Insecure no longer working well

I had adbd Insecure installed on phone, was using it well, I could check the options.
I then tried to install some battery mods for the phone but they weren't working well on my device.
I then used an ICS update to get my phone back to 'normal'. Everything seemed fine but I noticed I had lost root.
I tried to root again, problem was when I open the adbd Insecure app which is vital for my rooting process, I get an error saying
superUser access is needed, but could not be acquired. Are you rooted and did you give permission?
With no other option but to choose OK and the app closes, I have tried reinstalling adbd Insecure but no change. any help?
I have tried both adbd Insecure 1.1 and 1.2
Ideas?

There are two modes called root your phone.
a) Root your adb shell
b) Root your system.
If your system isn't rooted yet, you don't have permissions to enable insecure adbd.
Install su and superuser.apk (or superSU apk ) via CWM recovery (or TWRP) and all your options are back.
