Okay, first off, I have searched. For the last 3 hours I have searched!!
I foolishly used Razorclaws one-button root method and it worked, However everything after that point has been an utter failure. I tried to flash recovery, and nothing. I tried using CWM, and nothing. I open Super User and it just closes. I don't know what else to do. Yes, I saw post 275 in the razorclaw thread, but when I put in the command list, it tells me it doesn't recognize the command. I previously had a Nook Color and had the easy adb installed. I don't know if this is my problem. I have a B70 transformer, I just want to unroot. I tried the Super User update fixer, nothing. The Transformer is running fine, I get force closes on some apps. I just want to return to stock. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I unrooted it. But the superuser apk remains in the app drawer. Is there any harm that can be done by having it? I would like to 'successfully' root and flash a rom, but judging from my inability to flash recovery using the one-button method I will wait. I would love to overclock this beast!
You can delete this thread, I apologize for wasting time and resources!
have you tried rebooting and then re-rooting?
how did you unroot ?

Thanks for the replies
I did not reboot and reroot, I did have to download the SDK in order to use the adb functions. I used the info provided by doaist to remove su permissions, I suppose. When I checked through the razorclaw app, and terminal. I was not given su access. So, I assumed I didn't have su permission.
And as soon as I try to get into the adb shell and type 'su' it says 'permission denied' , I don't know what else to do to remove it.
Thanks for your input guys, it means a lot.
Okay, so I redownloaded said apps, and I am now performing a backup. Which rom should I use? Which rom will allow me to retain stock functionality , and which OC kernal should I use. Is there a rom that has both?
When flashing recovery, does it go to the emmc or the extrernal sd???

I've done the simple root with NAND setup without hiccup but when trying to backup with ROM manager it says it doesn't have permission.
I have a terminal app and it goes from $ to # when I type su
is there anything I can type in terminal to see if my NAND is actually unlocked?
I also cannot get clockwork to install but titanium has busybox installed.

seems like you have partial root.
do you have "superuser.apk" installed?
try "adb shell" should give you # automatically.
if not, try the root and nanlock again.

Is there anything I can type in terminal and screenshot that will tell you anything?
did some research and downloaded the busybox standalone app from the marketplace.
It says that I am rooted and I installed the busybox.
No changes. only thing i can think is that my NAND is still locked? any way to check this?

do you have a custom recovery?
try this SUPERUSER app
you have to flash it via recovery.
http://bit.ly/su222ef
if you want to check nand..
try this command.
"adb remount"
from command prompt.
if it fails, you dont have nand.
if it completes succesfully you have nand access.
I don't have a custom recovery, can't get any to work or I'm just not doing it right... I'm coming from Windows mobile...
Here's a screen cap of what you requested except on the phone and not adb, don't think it matters for this simple test.
EDIT: Thank you very much for your help with this.
I had the same problem. I re-rooted using OTA SimpleRoot and also tried unrevoked and still had errors trying to flash Clockworkmod recovery. I went into Menu>Settings and clicked on Advanced Mode and it worked.
Will try to help whrn I get to san antonio

Thanks a lot for this! I spent all day trying to figure this out. It seems unless Advanced Mode is enabled this doesn't work. FWIW I'm using DC 3.2.3. Once I enabled Advanced Mode I was able to flash to the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery!
Thanks for this post!
I just rooted my Inspire. I'm trying to flash a ROM for the first time using ROM Manager. It says I need CWM Recovery installed before continuing. But it is installed as far as I can tell, it is. There's a folder for it on the SD card. I tried using Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it causes Superuser to force close.
I've search every string of words I can think of and none of the threads coming up are related to my issue. Fast Boot is off. Debugging is on. I'm new to flashing ROMs, so I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing, but it is REALLY pissing me off.
One of the threads did mention a superuser zip file needing to be in the root directory of the SD card. I don't see one in mine, so I won't be shocked if that's the problem. But then, it becomes a matter of finding where to download that zip.
Please help.

You need to reinstall su.
It's not letting me install it for whatever reason.
There is a certain irony that running "Fix Permissions" to solve the force close issue CAUSES Superuser to force close.
did you unzip the file? What rom are you running? Do have sdk?
I unzipped the file. Moved to the SD. Tried installing it from there. Yes, I have permissions set to install from non-market sources.
I'm running, presumably, the AT&T stock ROM, unless the Simple Root S-Off program installed something different.
Don't know the answer to the SDK question.
Have you tried to clear out the 'data' for 'Superuser' application under application settings?

As said try clearing data and cache.
If that doesn't work.
Uninstall su.
Download anrdoid SDK
Cope all the files from platform tools to tools
place su apk in tools folder
shift+right click on the tools folder, open command promp
use adb to push apk
Code:
adb devices( make sure it is connected)
adb remount
adb push ./(name of app) /system/app
Here's a possible reason I'm having a problem.
When I did the root, I used a spare SD card to make the gold card. I've been trying to flash a ROM with my regular SD card. Could that be what's causing it?

no, the gold card is only needed to downgrade the radio/rom and pass the CID check.
So here's where I'm at....
It won't let me install the superuser fix above.
It won't let me uninstall superuser.
I even purchased the pro version for the Market, hoping that it might install a version over the version flashed there and that doesn't force close every freaking time I try to do anything in ROM manager.
In the meantime, I miss about 50% of the texts, emails and notifications on my phone because, of course, I don't HEAR them. And the bloatware is bogging down the phone.
So, are there any suggestions before I walk outside and throw this phone into the Atlantic Ocean?
I'm having a problem completing the upgrade to 2.2. I have a XT720 from Cincinnati Bell and was following the procedure from their website. I successfully did this upgrade on my XT720 and was upgrading my wife's phone. Everything was going the same as my phone until I got to "Install System Recovery". When it was pressed there was no prompt for super user access. It came back and said successful install and I pressed the OK. Then I pressed the "Recovery Reboot" and nothing happened.
After that happened I did a factory reset, using the settings>privacy>factory data reset menu , and tried again with the same result.
I'm sure this has something to do with not prompting for the superuser access. What might be happening?
Same happened to me first go around. There tutorial Os horrible. Revs is better. All I Did was restart And then I got the SU prompt. Use universal androot And root again If su isant in your app list. Universal androots is more convenent than super one click

Well tonight I gave it another try and I disconnected from the laptop before starting the recovery app. No joy! Here's what happened after following the CBW instructions and skipping the optional Titainium backup step.
1. Started System Recovery from the phone per pg 15 of the CBW instructions.
2. Pressed "Install Recovery System". I did not get a request for super user access but it did say install success and I pressed OK. Almost immediately after pressing OK I got the following error
"Activity System Recovery (in application System Recovery) is not responding. Force Close or Wait.
I pressed wait and nothing else happened.
3. I pressed "Recovery Boot" and after a short time got the above error again and I again pressed wait. Nothing ever happened.
This all worked fine on my phone!
Any Ideas?

I think you're not rooted. The System Recovery app always says install success even when it crashes and burns. Did you remember to turn on ADB (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging) before rooting?
You can also try to root using UniversalAndroot 1.6.2-beta5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
Another option is that you accidentally denied Superuser access. Open the Superuser app and see what's in the logs/deny lists.
Try running another app that requires root access (e.g. Titanium Backup). Do you get a popup asking about root access?
I just checked and it's still turn on. Does it matter if it's on or off while you're running the Recovery program?
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to using Androot?
Can you check to see if you're rooted?

I'll hook er' back up and install Titanium and see if it prompts me for su access. I'll let you know waht happens in a little bit.
When I use Superoneclick it never detects the software version and asks if I'm on 2.0 or higher. Is this some what normal? After i say yes it goes on it's way and seems to complete. It also did this on my phone and it upgraded without a hitch.
Well I installed Titanium Backup and it prompted for su access I clicked OK and it started up. On the main screen of Titanium it says:
Root access: OK (BusyBox 1.17.2 from system)
So I think I'm rooted??
Yes. You can try to uninstall the System Recovery app, reboot, & re-install it. Mod My Mobile has the Open Recovery files & manual installation instructions. Or maybe try copying the OpenRecovery.apk to the sd card & installing it with a file explorer (e.g. ES File Explorer or Astro from the market)
FINALLY!! YEAH!! I'm updated!!
I've watched some videos by reverandkjr and he wipes the Dalvik Cache and the Cache Partition. Should this be done??

Didn't CB's Froyo have a hidden SU? I can't remember I only ran it for a day or two before Wanhu's was brought to our attention.
Edit: Doh!! not if he hasn't flashed it yet.
I've got into Open Recovery and have already flashed to the 2.2 CBW image. Is there any benefit to wiping the Dalvik Cache and the Cache Partition like I've seen on reverandkjr videos.
I will wipe the Dalvik, cache & data/factory reset whenever I flash a new ROM
I was playing with my TF101 earlier today and went to check Titanium Backup when I was given a surprise, I can't use it anymore. My tablet had been rooted since the day I got it nearly a year ago but somehow my busybox got uninstalled. I have not done anything that would cause it to be uninstalled, and when I try to install it again no program is able to. When trying to update the Su binary Superuser fails to gain root access as well, so something weird happened in the past few days (looking at my most recent Titanium Backups manually it seems it happened after 6/3, but I don't know why).
My first attempt to fix was re-flash the most recent Honeycomb-based Revolver update (3.11.1) and run "Fix Permissions" but that didn't help. I'm thinking the only way to be able to fix this is to do a wipe and re-install of everything, or even a new nvflash, but my most recent backup is months old (I'd been travelling and not messing with ROMs so I didn't have a need for a backup).
Does anyone have suggestions as to what else I can do before I try and do a wipe/install?
Thanks
In terminal, does "which su" and "which busybox" return anything?
How about "ls -l /system/*/su" and "ls -l /system/*/busybox"
You probably have 2 versions and one is not does not have the su id set.

I tried running it in "Android Terminal Emulator" but for some reason it doesn't work anymore, it loads and then auto closes... so I did it in "System Tuner"s terminal emulator.
I ran both and got "Failed to run: Error running exec(). Command: [which, su] Working Dierctory:null Environment: null"
How about "ls -l /system/*/su" and "ls -l /system/*/busybox"

for both of these i get "No such file or directory"
I honestly have no idea what is going on because this last week I used it as a netbook while travelling Korea and for the 4 months prior I haven't been able to access the internet regularly so I haven't been playing around with CWM, flashing new roms, etc. I think the newest apps I've installed were mixi (like Facebook, but Japanese), Skype, and Temple Run, none of which require root access.

Don't do the wipe yet, just use Recovery to reinstall the same ROM and it may help. It maybe related to kernel or /system/bin or /system/xbin (or even etc).
I tried reflashing the most recent Revolver Honeycomb update (3. 11.1) but it didn't help, still have the problem.
Re-manually install busybox and SU using the superuser.zip that's flashable in cwm, then Install SuperSU and update binary with that. Should fix all issues, I prefer SuperSU to superuser since it doesn't glitch as much. xD

I will give that a try, as soon as I can find the superuser.zip file in question. I googled for it, and looked on XDA but I can't seem to locate it. Could you help point me in the right direction?
I re-thought about what tingtan said and I realized that just an update wouldn't necessarily have everything needed so I found the most recent full ROM and flashed it followed by the update and it looks like things are fixed.
I'd still like a link to that superuser.zip file for the future, but now I can backup and I might try playing with ICS now.
Superuser.zip link: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
I prefer SuperSU though, all preference.

Thanks, that is the one I found but since you were talking about SuperSU I wasn't sure if it was correct. I will also give SuperSU a try, but after I reflash everything (it broke again shortly after I got my titanium backup done).
I somehow have managed to lose root access. I have superuser installed but the prompt to give root access to apps does not appear anymore.
I tried to do a factory reset, which was a huge mistake as I had changed the dpi and the launcher failed to start after reset. I tried rerooting using sparkym3s auto rooting tool, but no luck.
I now have the device somewhat operational again after installing apex launcher, but several apps show up as incompatible in the market that used to work before.
How can I regain root?
Factory reset clears the /data partition (you should've just renistalled the Superuser app, possibly a different version, or use and run SuperSU), where your installed apps and data are stored, so it will only delete the Superuser app for managing su access, but the su binary itself should remain on the /system partition. Check for it it /system/xbin/su
What's the problem with sparkym3's method anyway?
Thank you for replying.
After installing supersu it appears i have somewhat regained root access.
I can now change dpi with LCD Density Modder.
However, titanium backup, and several other apps dont get root access, and I dont get a prompt asking for access either.
Rootchecker shows that I dont have root access.
When I run the supersu app, it wants to update, i click ok, but i get error message "installation failed. There is nothing in the supersu log or apps tabs.
The su binary is in /system/xbin/su.
Should I un-root and then re-root perhaps?
I have messed around with this thing so much now, that I would prefer to wipe the entire storage and start completely fresh. Is this possible?
According to this topic I had rooted my infinity but now I did a wipe from boot (volume down + power on) so I lost all my apps including superuser app. My answer is: have I got root yet? Or have I lost only superuser app?

Try a few variants of what you've mentioned, if this doesn't help, you can try re-flashing firmware from the bootloader level.

Just install Superuser from the Playstore and see for yourself before asking You should have your root access back.
