I just rooted my phone today, and got an error.

I try to do ClockworkMod or recovery boot, and what happens is I get an error saying I don't have permission. Even when I try to updated su on superuser.

Which Root method did you use to root your phone, and did you have any errors while rooting it ? depending on what method you used to root your phone i would suggest asking a question in the method thread used.

I would suggest you download this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
Its a stock, rooted ROM with the latest updates.
Rename it PD98IMG.zip and put on the root of your SD card.
Pull your battery, then replace it...boot into hboot (vol down + Power)...if you're Radio S-Off, it should flash this image and you'll be stock rooted.
Once you get that flashed and loaded...you should have no problems with ROM Manager or SuperUser.
Just be sure you're Radio S-Off and it will say that at the top of your screen when you enter hboot.
It sounds like to me that you didn't load the upgrade ROM using bubby's one click. In other words...you thought you were complete but not quite.

If you want sideloading then download the second option...once this is on your phone you should be able to hear again.
Like I said...I suspect you didn't quite complete the rooting process...or something went wrong.

One has "unknown sources" option available to load 3rd party apps.
The other doesn't...if you want to be able to download 3rd party apps then download from the link with SL in the title.

you can straight download it to the root of your SDcard...but you'll still have to rename it PD98IMG.zip before you can load it through hboot.
If you did bubby's one click...then you should be familiar with this step.

Turn phone off, then I reboot, then what do I do?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

not reboot...boot into the bootloader. Remember this won't work if your not S-off.
Boot into hboot...then let it find and load the PD98IMG.zip.
Then it will ask you to upgrade. Volume up to say yes...then let it do its thing.
Easy as pie....
are you sure you used bubby's one click?
It does this step twice during the process.

I see...
There's a sticky at the top of this forum that will answer all that.

Surprise, surprise.
This is what happens when you don't do a little research before trying to do something like this.
All of the advice given to you in those threads went in one ear and out the other.
Seriously, what's your aversion to reading? You're reading these posts answering your questions, right?
I don't mind helping people, with the limited knowledge I've gained here so far, but this is a prime example of why people flame and get pissed at new users.
Now please, go read and try again when you have a basic understanding of your phone.

Lol. If I'm trolling then you're spamming.
The help you seek is in the stickied guide in this section. It's in the faq for the root method you used.
It's in the thread of the root method you used, and 500 trillion other posts that you would discover if you searched.
Now you want people to repeat the same answers, yet again, to you, when you were advised to do some preparation before doing this.
I wouldn't be so bothered if I hadn't seen this one coming a mile away.

Need a little help.

Not sure if this is the correct fourm but since i didnt see a tech support forum figured this might be the most logical spot to put it.
My current device is a Samsung galaxy s 4g
Carrier T mobile
Rom
[ROM][CWM] T959VUVKD1 - Deodexed FIXED
Flashed with Odin3 v1.7
The issue i had is i wanted to install the bali kernel onto the phone i downloaded the 2.1 kernel from the forums non UV version but i don't know how to flash it. I tried to find it in the forums but i don't really see any clear directions how to flash it some say clockwork don't have it don't know how to install it. Sorry for my nubness. Then i did try to flash it using odin3 which soft bricked the phone phone computer with a little line going though it. Fixed that without much issue.
Id like Try out non stock kernels and i love what u guys do with the roms but i guess im a little stumped cause i don't know how to eather a find the missing apps i needed or how to flash it properly though odin3. If im totally off the mark im sorry and please forgive me again for my noobness.

OK your probably gonna here some $h1t for not searching but I'll Hook you up. OK you need to go to the cwm final post by krylon360. That will get you cwm. Once u have cwm setup you will boot into recovery and select reinstall packages, this puts you into cwm.
Know to flash the kernel go to "install zip from sdcard" and locate the zip( Bali kernel ) and confirm installation. Let it do its thing and BAM you have Bali kernel. HOPE THIS HELPS YA.
**edit**
To navigate in recovery and cwm use the volume keys to go up and down and power to select.

Tips on flashing / rooting / cwm.

Soooo. Im planning on getting this phone. Soon. Realllll soooooonnnnn.
And there are a few things i want to know.
Does this phone have a radio/spl like the htc g1? (just an example) where we have to flash a new radio/spl to flash a certain rom? or can we just flash any rom straight from cwm?
and im not sure whether im going to be getting a rooted or unrooted phone, so to be on the safe side, say i'm not rooted. Is there a way i can root it without a computer?
Once rooted, i know i can flash the "wannabe cwm" from rom manager to flash roms.
Im also from the sgs4g forums where we can go into download mode/recovery mode by the volume button + power button combinations. Is this pretty much the same?
All answers appreciated. (even though im sure not all of them will be quite related to this post and rather flaming me telling me to go search before posting, but maybe thats just the other forums)
Thanks for everything guys. Hope to be a great member and a flashaholic with the g2x
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

This phone will be much better than the SGS4G.
First off, do not flash CWM from ROM Manager. The G2x needs a slightly custom CWM.
Best way is to flash CWM via NVFlash. It's kind of sorta like going into download mode. There's couple threads on it in the Development section, so it's easy to find. And you need a computer for that. Once that's done that's pretty much it... Just wipe data, dalvik cache, and head into mounts and format /system. Once you did those 3 things then flash whatever ROM you want.
You don't have to worry about SPL, radio, modem, etc. Good luck.

You don't need root to flash a new ROM for the G2x. You just need CWM via NVFlash.

No, you flash CWM from NVFlash. You flash ROM's through CWM.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Alright so.. ima be flashing cwm via nvflash tomorrow. If it bricks my phone, can i get the solutions to fix it? Im asking now just in case something happens tomorrow. Thanks guys.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

i sincerly doubt you will brick your phone. Using NvFlash is pretty much easy enough for a monkey so you should be okay.
After that find a already rooted rom you want to load up through CWM. If your staying stock without loading up a new rom you need to get superoneclick to root it.
Tips: Don't unistall system apps unless your sure you don't need them. Once you unistall a system app and you hard reset it won't be there.
Recommended is stock foryo (rooted) rom or Ultimate Froyo Rom
invest a few bucks into gold standard apps (rootexplorer, setcpu, etc)
Hit me up if you have any general questions

Im not a noob. All i needed was to get cwm on my phone.
And i only asked about radios because phones with radios (like the g1 for example) had to flash a different radio to flash a rom. . that question was answered.
And i asked about the nvflash because i bricked my other phone a couple of times via odin. . And that question was also answered.
Currently running weapon g2x. deleted all bloatware/useless items. Just want to ask if i can download the samsung keyboard from my galaxy s 4g. (pushing the keyboard apk to the g2x.) and how would i add korean to it? As im pretty sure we'd have the language somewhere else.
Other than that, thanks all. .

How to root stock froyo?

Hello all, i've been using cyanogenmod since i got my phone, but would like to get some of the stock apps of it. It's nvflash'd, but I am not sure how i should goa bout rooting it. Is there some sort of flashable zip for 2.2? Should i use superoneclick?
Sorry for asking, but i am unsure of superoneclick, since i have never used it. I'm just wondering if it will permantly affect the bootloader or anything (im going to search after this post)

Sorry again folks. I meant by reflashing my stock rom (from here in canada), it goes back into a unrooted "firmware" phase without superuser. Therefore, i cannot use titanium backup since there is no superuser. I could still use nvflash to flash another rom, but couldnt get nova out of the rom!
I got it by flashing the file for 2.3.3 from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
(took a leap of faith on 2.2.2). Anyways got it working.
Thanks for trying to decode my original post though

I've read it about 3 times, with no luck to figuring this out. You are rooted and running cyanogen but want to know how to root and get 2.2 stock applications?

Just a quick question, that flazhable package doesn't affect the bootloader like superoneclick correct?

CWM won't mount SD card or USB storage. WIFI not connecting also!

I rooted my gf phone and flashed a new rom. Now I am trying to go back to stock but CWM won't mount her SD card and USB storage and WIFI won't work! Anyone out there know what is going on? I know about the file you have to delete on .android_secure but I can find it even on a computer!

Mmm, many questions...
Do you try full wipe/factory reset before installing new room?
Are you using a kustom kernel? If yes, try to reflash it. Customs kernels also includes CWM Recovery.
Sorry for my english!
Luck!

I did a full reset wipe and no I just installed the rom. Which at the moment I'm forgetting what its called
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Well. This is the first custom room you installed? If not, probably is a room bug, or the compatibility with your phone is not 100% funtionally.
If yes, perhaps the root is not correct. Why you dont try to re-root your phone?
Or try with another room and tested.
If still not working, dont worry, we will solve it!

Try BH's back to stock one click.

I'm curious what ROM you are using? Go to settings - about phone and it will tell you the name.

It was the ICBINB rom I believe.

i got this phone yesterday and i'm not new to android or custom roms. but i derped pretty hard and stopped at step 7b of this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
and it would mount the sd card, but i noticed i didn't finish so i did the other steps and i've been able to flash roms, this program can also return you to stock i believe (some one else should confirm, or you can read about it in the wiki)
so if nothing else works you should try it.
