I just rooted my phone. So i decided to try this rom out
[ROM][3-15-2011]TPC Inspire 4g Stock ROM Optimized v2|OC|HSUPA|No Bloat
After installing it I have lost my root, don't know how.. Anyone else have this happen to them? Is there easy fix or do I need to start over?
Thanks,
Mike
You lost root or super user isn't working? Try booting into recovery and go to advanced and fix permissions.

how do i boot into recovery and do this?
i used root checker to see if i still had root and i didn't. tried using rom manager it even says i don't have root anymore.. not sure what happen.
thanks,
mike
Sounds like you had temp root and not perm root. You need to rerun the hack kit.
I followed the guide on General forum to flash ICS 4.0.3 stock but my ROM Manager Premium isn't working properly.
Flash ClockworkMod, Reboot into Recovery works fine. It seems like everything else works too........
BUT Fix Permission. When I try to run it, it says 'An error occured while attemping to run privileged commands!'
Titanium Back Pro has green check marks on everything including Root access.
SuperUser and other apps that needs root access seems to work fine.
I downloaded Root Checker Basic and it says that my Nexus S is rooted.
Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper has all check marked as well.
Fix permission works fine on CWM recovery and I see CWM recovery when I reboot in recovery, not stock recovery.
Could anyone help me out with this problem... Thank you!
Just tried and same thing....not sure rom manager might need to be updated

Hopefully that is the cause of the problem. I will try contact the developer.
Hi all,
I Know my Thunderbolt is rooted correctly because I am able to use certian rooted only apps. But when I go into superuser to update binaries it tells me that
1. It cannot gain root access
2. It says the new binaries are bad
3. Overall fail.
There was a similar post on rootzwiki about this, and in that post was a su.zip file that i manually placed in the /system/bin which i overwrote the existing. Still giving me the bad binaries error etc... is there something I am doing wrong? or a new fix avail??
Thanks
PS...also while I'm here i posted this on rootzwiki also but no avail...somewhat on the same lines as what i posted above but with more info about the bootloader.
Thanks
I just picked up a preowned thunderbolt....
currently :
Android Version - 2.3.4
HTC Sense Verison - 2.1
Software Number - 2.11.605.9
.
HBOOT - 6.04.1002
Radio - 1.4.8.00.0.930.w_3
just wondering if this is the most current, and root-able\ s-off friendly software for the thunderbolt. It was already rooted and revolutionary.io hence the bootloader saying so. But for some reason no matter what, I cannot perform a full TB Restore, and cannot successfully update SU binaries ( tried the suFixer on the market..and tried manually putting the file in /system/bin/su . It either says cannot gain root access or insuffiant privileges errors. I can't for the life of me figure wtf is going on. I've never had such difficulty/[problems rooting and customizing any other HTC ( or android phone) before. can anyone help
Run the all in one tool again
Don't update binarys there's issues with the newest update. And reflash your custom recovery. Then flash one of the alrdy rooted stock roms or custom Rom .

I start by flashing cwm via Rom manager premium. Then always flash the alternative amon recovery becUse I like it.better. is that the way to.go?
When re running the tool should I do the unroot then reroot? Is.there anything that will help me being able to use rooted apps run correctly hence the binary issue? Is this being worked on at all?

I wouldn't flash anything through rom manager. That's just my opinion. Maybe unroot and then root again using the all in one tool might work.

Go here and scroll down to update 2. There is a link to download a fixed binary that can be flashed in recovery.

Another option that worked for me when I had my galxy s2 skyrocket. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Download SuperSu and flash in cwm. It replaces su. And fixes the exact issue you are having
I really like supersu more than superuser. If I flash this in recovery will it replace superuser?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Yes it will. Then when you reboot. Open supersu and allow it to update its binaries
Nice I'm going to try it.

Hello,
I have rooted my phone, flashed TWRP 2.6.0.0 and CM 10.2 with the All-in-One Toolkit. Everything worked fine.
Then I installed the SUPER SU App from Chainfire and updated the Binary on the "normal" way. After that I uninstalled the app.
Today I wanted to install a newer version of TWRP. I used the GooManager. The download worked fine and the device rebooted. I can use the phone and I get into Bootloader but when I want to go to Recovery the device reboots and reboots....
My first thought was, that I don't have Root anymore because I uninstalled the Super SU App from Chainfire and I don't get any notifications when I start a app that needs root and the built in Super SU in the settings doesn't make any logs since some days. But Root Checker says that my device is rooted and for example Titanium Backup works fine although it's not in the list of apps with Super SU.
What can I do? Maybe trying to install the recovery with the GooManager again or new Rooting and Recovery installing with the Toolkit?
Sincerely,
May be you should flash back twrp 2.6.0.0 which was working for your phone and reinstall super su
I tried to root without the toolkit. I followed all steps and everything worked fine. But when the device rebooted after rooting I stopped in the bootscreen. I'm able to get into CM and use the phone without problems, but now the root is completely gone!
Can anyone help? I really don't know what to do now.
Edit: So, after rooting I have a Super SU app installed, but it's not able to update and not working...
Can you try with the twrp from this link:
http://flemmard.net/recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ville-selinux.img
and root again

Okay, thanks. Wich root shall I try? With flashing the SuperSu with the recovery or with getting rooted over PC?
Thanks again.

I flashed the Recovery and the SuperSU. The recovery is installed but there is no root. But I can't uninstall the installed SuperSU apk from the old try of rooting that went wrong. I only can deactivate it. Should I do this and try flashing the SuperSU.zip again?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Edit: Problem solved with the newer SuperSU version.
Hello
I have recently decided to hard reset my tab. I backs up everything with titanium backup (I had root at that time). But after that I thought if I hard reset with root, then my tab will malfunction. So I UNrooted it.
After hard reset I cannot root like before. Kingroot keeps failing to root. When I looked /system/bin and /system/xbin (with es explorer) there is a file named 'su'.
But I cannot get root access. I also cannot root again.
What sholud i do. Any help would be appreciated

You didn't unroot with the correct method, you left the su binaries. You still have the su binaries in system so all you should need now is the root management app, either the kinguser app or the SuperSU app, SuperSU is the better one of the two.
If you have custom recovery you can flash the SuperSU.zip in recovery, then reboot, open SuperSU and update the binaries and that should do it for you.
Or
You can search for the Kinguser APK and try installing it, I recommend SuperSU if you can it to work though, Kinguser doesn't work as well as SuperSU with some of the root apps.
If none of that works, try flashing the stock firmware and then start over from scratch with rooting the device again.

Well I used kingroot but I havnt had much progress.
It always stops at some percentage and reboots. After that when I open kingroot, it continues with percent it had stopped and tell root failed.
After doing this some days later I got notification from kingroot "root permission exception. Recommend restore immidietly." (I don't remember correctly).
Note :- I don't have any custom recovery. It always shows my tab is not supported.
My tab is iball slide 3g q7218
Kingroot and kinguser are same. Isntit?

Kingroot is the app that roots the device but you should also have an app that manages root permissions called Kinguser which serves the same purpose as Superuser/SuperSU. When you use the Kingroot app, it roots the device by injecting the su binaries in /system/xbin and then it should install Kinguser as your root permission manager.
This is similar to using the other rooting apps to inject su binaries,and then installing SuperSU to use those binaries.
What I'm telling you is using Kingroot isn't going to work because what it does is inject the su binaries in system, you already have the su binaries so Kingroot can't do what it does, that is why it fails.
What I'm telling you is that since you still have the SU binaries, you don't need Kingroot, you need the root management app that uses the su binaries, either the Kinguser(not Kingroot)app or the SuperSU app, preferably SuperSU. This will allow you to once again use your root permissions.
If you can't get Kinguser or SuperSU installed then you'll have to flash your stock firmware to remove the su binaries from system. Then you'll be able to start over with using Kingroot and it should work again.

Then do what I said earlier.
Do a Google search for:
"Kinguser APK"
Install that
Or
Do a Google search for:
"SuperSU apk"
Install that
One of them should work, install Kinguser and then convert to SuperSU.
If you want to know how to convert to SuperSU, do a Google search for:
"Convert Kingroot to SuperSU"

Hey flashing to stock ROM worked.
I rooted successfully.
But i didnot lose any data from internal storage (although i lost my apps but fortunately i have a backup).
Is it the problem of flashing or is it normal

It's normal, usually data doesn't get wiped when flashing stock unless the flashed file upgrades/downgrades bootloader, locking/unlocking bootloader usually wipes data also.

Thanx for the information.
Now should I convert from kinguser to supersu or stay with kinguser itself

Kinguser has issues with some root apps, SuperSU is what you need if you can get it successfully installed, some devices give trouble trying to convert to SuperSU, many of them bootloop after installing SuperSU.
There's a few different ways to get converted, search for them and try the methods that have worked best on your same brand(manufacture) of device.
