I did the update just now and thought everything went well. This is my first time. Someone else put infused 2.1.0 on phone and everything that goes along with that. I followed the directions in beginning of post to manually do the update. Now all my root apps are telling me i'm not rooted. I rebooted, took battery out and back in. I have read entire Infused post and no one has had this issue? Before i started i went into ROM manager and made a back up first.
Not sure what to do now??
R you doweling of a OTA update or rom update I'm assuming rom. Is your supper user still available in your app drawer if so go into the setting and make sure its on. If not I recommended unbrick to stock and re-flash make you directions are followed to the T

Can i restore the backup i did before the update? Will that take me back to 2.1.0 where all was well?
Just do a reboot, all your app will work after that

I did reboot. I have NO ROOT after this update but everything else is fine. All apps are there...but my root apps say i don't hve root. I d/l root checker from mkt and it says it;'s there but the binary isn't up to date or installed incorrectly. within SU i tried updating the binary and it fails.????

ok. i uninstalled the update to SU. rebooted. all Root apps still don't work and say i'm not rooted. NOW though. SU doesn't even come on and say denied. ....
Rooted just means you have the su app and can give su permissions to apps. If apps are asking for su permissions and not getting them it's the same as not being rooted as far as the app is concerned. Go into you super user app and see what has permissions and what doesn't, try to reset the settings.
update 2.1.0-2.2.3 LOST ROOT???
Just a recap...i was rooted running infused 2.1.0 and had and used rooted apps. I did the update 2.1.0-2.2.3 infused update then all of a sudden i couldn't get into titanium backup or any of my rooted apps. every time i open one SU denies it. I d/l root checker from mkt and it finds SU 3.0 on phone but says im either not rooted correctly or not at all. it gives me a log but i can't make heads or tails of it..so , if someone could I can PM you the log. I checked my SU permisions/settings...it should work...doesn't ands won't allow a thing. How did I lose ROOT? I followed the manual instructions in post.
All of this is related to me updating to 2.2.3 infused ROM. however, i have read the eintire forum front to back twice and no one has lost root because of the update...I even tried installing busybox but it fails because it says i am NOT rooted. I uninstalled the update to SU 3.0..that didn't work.
GTG-- I PM'd you days ago asking for your input on the upgrade but didn't hear back...upgrade done...issue...lost root....any ideas??
upgrade infused 2.1.0-2.2.3
Anyone out there with an idea? I haven't heard of anyone losing root having done this upgrade. Could i possibly still be rooted but maybe a setting got messed up somewhere? a file moved??
Still looking for answers...thanks
I have been through this many times before, you can do two usually the root access comes back after a reboot, since it didn't for you here are couple things you should consider to do
1) uninstall superuser than download again from market. Or
1) flash the rom again from scratch

well, since SU came from root and is a system app and apprently i am not rooted so i can not remove a system app I can uninstall the SU upgrade i did from mkt...which i did and rebooted, no luck. are you or anyone familiar with the "root checker" app? i can send a log if anyone can make sense out of it.
maruf010 i earlier post i said this is the first time i have tried anything like this with my phone ...i had soneone else root and install infused 2.1.0...i only attempeted the upgrade so...wonder if you can PM me and if you can maybe walk me through your second option?
I'm running out of ideas bro, I consider my self a "Rom flashing junky " flashing from one rom to another since my first captivate! let's do this again step by step, hoping this time it'll work..... make sure to transfer "titanium backup " folder to your computer before doing this. You can use it back later.
1) run gtg's back to stock using Odin
2) root the phone using super one click
3) drop all three the the new rom(2.1.0),
update v2.2.3, and the community kernel
4) download sgs kernel flasher from market
5) flash the community kernel, wait about 10 min let it do its thing till your phone comes back to live
5) power off the phone
6) using 3 button combo go to RED clockworkmod
7) install zip from SD card (flash the actual rom 2.1.0)
8) flash the update ( from 2.1.0 to v2.2.3)
8) finally do a wipe/factory reset
9) install titanium backup from market
10) restore your "missing app with data" only.
I know you did everything what i just said but my suggestion is to you ,do this again.

upgrade 2.1.0-2.2.3 LOST ROOT
Well, lesson to all. make a back up no matter what you do. Shouldn't of had to with an update but....since i did do a back up ..I AM BACK to 2.1.0 where i guess the saying is true...if it aint broke don't fix it. all is well..root back!. If I try going back to 2.2.3 i will do full install.
Thanks to everyone who had an opinion. weirdest thing ever...still bugs me why the ONLY this wrong with the upgrade was i seemingly lost root.
Glad u found a fix bro!
upgrade 2.1.0-2.2.3-LOST ROOT
Thanks!!! I'm all happy again. If anyone else has this issue...i really do beleive it is SU. Look at it on the mkt..since the 3.0 upgrade there have been many issues. I uninstalled the 3.0 SU upgrade and now i'm back to 2.6.3.1 BUT my binary is 3.0. I have yet to trythe infused upgrade again...IF (and when) i do it may not work because of my binary BUT all is well back on unfused 2.1.0!! No way to uninstall binary upgrade to SU i guess.
IF IT AINT BROKE--DON'T FIX IT..YEAH RIGHT ! LIKE WE ALL WON'T KEEP ROMMING!
upgraded infused 2.1.0-2.2.3 lost root
I am still having this issue when trying to upgrade infused from 2.1.0-2.2.3!!! Can someone answer this? The upgrade goes fine but then SU thinks im not rooted and then i can not restore any back ups cause titanium won't work. I haven't tried full zip only because i do not want to have to fetch all my apps again...zzz. I t looks like a lot of people have moved on to MIUI but i want to conquer this first..hahha
NOw, in the CWM instructions it says if you have a voodoo folder on your sd card delete it..well, that is for first time install....if i am trying the upgrade should i still delete the voodoo folder on my sd card? then move on to steop 7?? I reallly doi not want to delete something i may need. Inside that folder it is a log folder but in that log folder there are some CWM-recoveries..???
oh, and not sure if this matters all all but whn flashing upgrades or full ROM does it matter what you have your file system mounted as??
Anyone out there?? I just tried the update again and same thing...SU won't work...tried going into CWM and , download rom, super user, and i d/l SU from ther but then it says press ok to boot into recovery and finish unstalling...i press ok and nothing happens. I manually go into recovery...then what? Where did the download go and how do i finish installing SU??
PLEASE anyone...also, there is an option in recovery to "apply the update" Never used that one before...i just install from SD then pick the update...do i have to "apply update" after install then reboot?

I'm running Stock EE4 ROM with voodoo PBJT kernel. If I open up an adb shell, I get the "#" prompt, and whoami shows "uid 0". So, it appears I have root.
However, none of the apps that require root are working. All of them fail with a message about not being able to get root.
Any idea what could be going on, or how to fix it? Let me know if there's any other information I can provide that would be helpful.
Thanks!

That's a new one! I'd try reflashing the kernel, or flashing a different one.

I've tried with both PBJT and the standard voodoo kernel, and I've tried with and without lagfix enabled. I'm not sure what else to check here.
As a sidenote, Titanium seems to be able to run the scheduled backups ok, but when I open the application, it says it can't get root.
Damn, I had the same thing happen and I don't remember how I fixed it.
You have the SuperUser app from the Market installed?
Try the busybox installer also.
I was up into the wee hours fighting this the other night, so memories not a clear, I'll try to recall more and post back later, but wanted to give you something to try in the meantime.

This happened w/ me also. I think it has to do w/ the superuser app that is in the market. I think I installed it after flashing an ED2 rom and it was missing. When I updated it was still on my phone as I didn't wipe data first. When I installed a rooted rom/kernel I had the issue of apps not recognizing root. I had to get it off my phone and keep the market from autoloading it. I think I factory reset and reflashed, then killed market b4 it could load it back. I also unchecked the google backup checkbox in setup.
Then I dl Titanium backup and restored my apps.
The other day I noticed superuser was force closing on my but wifi tether was still working so I didn't bother to check into why. Today I went to make a backup in TB and it said it couldn't gain root privileges.
I tried the SU update fixer from the market and it said everything was ok so I tried to do a force fix and it fails on gaining root. I also noticed rom manager was missing on my phone...
I haven't done anything to the phone in a long time so I have no idea what happened.
I could do a wipe and start over but I really need a TB first!
I'm running one of the stock rooted leaks from a while ago. 2.2.1 1.70.605.0
Reboot to recovery and fix permissions. I had this happen when I used garden tether from market. After fixing you will be back and still rooted. Lose that tether program it will happen each time you use it.

If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button.
I don't know what is going on here. I was able to get a TB backup so I did a reset and SU is still force closing on me and I can't even flash rom manager on a clean install...
I've never had any issues like this since I first installed this rom.
Download a Rom you want place it on your SD card and reboot to recovery, fix permissions and then do a full data wipe, data, cache and under advanced davlik. Now install the Rom you want. If you install my Rom i have CWM built in so you will get a fresh copy and working SU.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button.
The problem is the new super user app. Revert to an older build and all will be good.
I tried that SU was still force closing. I could launch one app and then anything else would make it FC. I tried to re-flash what I thought was the rooted mr2 which is what I was running but it was the wrong one so I lost s-off lol!

I've been working on my phone for about 6 hours now trying to fix whatever the hell is wrong with it, it started when I odened back to stock so i could flash the new miui update (recovery wasn't working, long strory) since than i have factory reset and odened back to stock like 10 times. The reason for this is because my phone at times will not install anything from market, apps would force close, updates wouldn't install, now the problem I have is that root explorer wont allow me to mount r/w so i can remover recovery. The tab works on the first page of root explorer but not when i navigate to system/bin. Ive googled all over the place looking for answers, ive done uninstalls, cleared data etc, nothing seems to works. I'm at my wits end with this thing, getting ready to call att for my second infuse!! any ideas before i call?

Apologies if this question has already been answered, but I have searched here and on Google, but the results that come back are for people who cannot root at all. I have been fully rooted, appear to still be rooted (according to TB), but have come across an issue with TB that has made me want to learn more about the nuts and bolts of the rooting process.
I am usually a Revolver user but I am temporarily visiting rooted stock, currently WW 9.2.1.21. I had installed the full 9.2.1.11 ROM via CWM yesterday and upgraded from there via the CWM flashable updates, using OTA Rootkeeper to restore root.
TB has been working well for me with ICS until yesterday when it refused to restore or freeze my apps, although it can restore data. I have followed this guide on the TB wiki, number 27, http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/tit...l#tb-hangs-while-freezing-apps-restoring-apps but I am getting an error saying that /system/xbin/su is not found. Sure enough, a quick browse shows that su is not there. I do have /system/bin/su. Could this be why TB isn't working anymore? Has OTA Rootkeeper only partially completed its job? Does it have nothing to do with anything?
Just copy the su from system/bin to system/xbin.
OTA rootkeeper will only succeed in full root restore if you let it OTA update.
Thanks, your help is much appreciated. TB is now working as expected.
On my rooted TF101 with stock ics and stock recovery, I don't have similar problem with TB, althoug su is only in /system/bin.
As rootkeeper is concerned, the app protects su by creating a /system/su-backup and copy it back to /system/bin/su during restore, nothing else.
mine did same thing and it wont let me paste anything in xbin it says permission denied even though all apps have superuser permission except one..
nvm got thru terminal all it took was a two minute search and i had it :banghead:

So I waited to register to this site till I ran into a road block. I have read and searched and search but to no avail have I come up with a answer.

Now here is my issue. My friend liked the way my phone was so he went and got a used one then handed it over to me to do the cool stuff. So I set the phone back to factory deleting everything including user data.... I now have installed the new version of one click and this new phone and it says it works and installed but when I run clockwork the superuser never pops up. Now I have checked The settings and its not the issue. I have since factory reset the phone again deleting user data and superuser was still on the phone. I've tried to remove it like 50 times to no avail until today when it finally went away after I tried again the unroot on superoneclick but after restart and I try to reinstall it, it says its already rooted, so I make it reroot and I still havve Tue same issue. I have tried to clear data and reinstall the packages via the Samsung recovery but it says there is a missing path on the internal SD. So now I'm stuck... its been like this back and forth for 3 days. So I ask for a bit of help as my first post.
