I've been using CM7 based roms for some time, but today I tried out some 2.3.3 based roms. And when I tried to mount with adb, I was getting permissions denied errors. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you think that uninstalling drivers and reinstalling them would do it?

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
I rooted my Zoom wifi long ago. Flashed all the various Tiamat kernels and followed bigrushdog's 3.1 update with no problems. I recently flashed the CWR RC 4 over the updated 4.0.1 version in Rom Manager. I now see that all my apps requiring root don't work. I have Super user app but don't get the request to grant su anymore. I tried upgrading Super user within the app but it fails and writes a zip update to SD card which is supposed to be flashed through Recovery but doesn't (I suspect because the file is a 0 byte file!).
Any suggestions on how to get root back?
[Solved]: Seems it was a result of trying to upgrade Superuser that I lost root. See the last post below and the solution Almighty1 offers. It worked and I have root back......

There is a problem with the latest recovery version in Rom Manager. The recovery from solarnz is probably not at fault, but maybe the interaction of the two. You wil lneed someone with more knowledge than me to help you get root back, but this issue really needs attention. There are several updates to apps that seem to be breaking our Xooms, and there should be pinned warnings or the developers should be making everyone aware of these conflicts as soon as they find out. I had problems and I'm sure a lot of other folks have have problems with these incompatible app updates as well.
Thanks for that. It almost seems like Superuser is "degrading" in the sense that I had a number of apps reflected in the Superuser app as having been granted root (but not Rom Manager). However, I couldn't add new apps to it. And when I cleared Superuser data and reinstalled it, none of the apps that required root (and which had worked before) would work.
I also think that the writing of a 0 byte zip update file by the Superuser app indicates a problem.
I suspect the solution may lie with fastboot and re-pushing Superuser and CHMOD(?) file permissions but like you, I am nervous to play with these sort of things. My Xoom is working and until I have the need to change the ROM, root doesn't matter to me....
after reading this I checked and also had lost root. I had not checked after after flashing 4.0 in rom manger. Superuser was still there but my apps did not have access. I tried flash a new recovery, reflashing Tiamat nether worked. Anyway from adb
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
exit
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
I then rebooted and had root... updated Superuser as I had an older one in my platform-tools and all is well I then flashed the lastest recovery in rom manger and still have root.
Hope this helps
Thanks. I will give it a try this evening when I get back from work.
Also found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14643716&postcount=340 which seems similar to your solution.
This is why I hate CWR. I wish we had Amon RA recovery.
I have a little problem, I've just updated franco.Kernel to the last version (8 November) on my phone, but when I try to update the su binary from the Superuser app, I get an error when it tries to mount the /system directory in r/w. I tried to reinstall the ROM and the kernel, but I'm still having the same problem. I tried also to use the old version of kernel (6 November), and I can update su binary, so I think it depends from it. I'm using the last version of Oxygen ROM.
Flash super user from recovery.

Ok, thanks. But I don't understand why I have this problem, because with other apps (for example Root Explorer) I can mount /system in r/w mode without any problem.
i don't know either, but you should try read that flashable zip, perhaps you can find something interesting
Like I thought, I have problems also with other apps that require to access /system in r/w, so I think I will go back to previous version until it will be fixed.
Hello,
I am unable to install busybox
it says that "it looks like the installation of busybox was not successful.." and asks to install in some other location.
I tried Xbin and Bin but it could not be installed properly.
All app which need root permission are working fine.
I tried to uninstall and re install ..re install using busybox installer.
Also I re-flash CM 10 beta 6 ( Format /System ) deleted xbin , bin directory and reflashed rom) but nothing works
Its confusing that even after deleting xbin, bin directory formatting /system reflashing CM10 yet busybox is not installing.
PS: Busybox was installed successfully on stock ROM it was for a brief period was installed successfully on CM 10 as well. But when I reflash my rom (due to some reason) and tried to install busybox since then I am having problems
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Got a problem with my Huawei Y530 (for which there is no forum!), that I can't get past. It's running stock ICS 4.3. I rooted the phone but obviously, without recovery, since recoveries and custom ROMs don't exist for the Huawei Y530, far as I know. I am using the latest SuperSU Pro (4.6) for superuser, and "Root Checker" confirms I'm rooted. The problem is, things like Link2SD mount scripts won't work, because the system is read only. I installed the latest version of BusyBox, FWIW, and it (eventually) said it installed correctly. I tried running Terminal Emulator commands to mount the system as rw, but got blocked with the error "read only filesystem".
Is there a way to mount the system as r/w, on stock ROM and without a custom recovery/bootloader installed?
Hi,
I can't find a relevant thread on XDA for your device and issue, but this thread here is the goto thread for your device, you could ask about that here,
