lost root after flashing superuser upgrade - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

i emailed the Superuser guys about a month ago with an issue where i would get constant notifications to update my superuser binary, no matter how many times i actually updated it, and they sent me a CWM zip to flash and try to fix the problem (new version of superuser). i flashed it and all went well. i've been having the same issue again so i thought "why not try the same thing" and flashed the zip but lost root somehow. so is there any way that i could just push the files for root? can that be done on a GB rom?

Sounds like the binaries in your kernel are outdated. Try flashing a new rooted kernel. If you're on GB try drhonks kj1

i figured a kernel flash would help so i did it (forgot to write that in the OP) and i flashed the kj1 but it didnt help
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I always had that problem everytime i updated superuser in the market and phone reboots it reports binaries out of date. It only happens to me when i update superuser, so trying leaving superuser alone and not update it.

This will flash everything. If that doesn't work... then I will post a video of me punching myself on youtube. (just kidding...)
But really, The one-click makes these "it doesn't work" or "I can't root" problems go away.

does it have to be heimdall flashed forbit to work? i flashed with cwm and the kernel flashed but i still dont have root
edit: heimdall flashed, still nothing
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I read somewhere that you can flash su via cwm from a zip that its in the superuser page. might wanna check it out. Sorry if im wrong!

/me punches self in face.
So... Let me get this straight.
You ran the kj1 or kj6 (not the fully stock) one-click and you didn't have root at that point? Are you doing something after the one-click?

I had the same thing, are you rooted? If yes, did you use the zimage-kg4.tar. Because that file fixed it for me.
KG4 is pulling the recovery somewhere else.. it's not like Froyo where it reads the update.zip. i'm just hoping it's not part of the Kernel.

Found another leak for the SGS4G. This one has a build date of 08/05.
I'm sure this fixes some issues that were found in KG6.
Same steps, Extract then ODIN to flash.
I'm sure a Deodexed version will come soon.

Root the way you do all GB roms
Wow.. Red CWM
Voodoo is working
Linda is converting
so far so good
wow, very nice..
Can someone check wifi on this when they get a chance? That's the only thing holding me back from GB at this point, since I have to use wifi at work (can't get good data way inside this building).
Just like clockwork (no pun intended), I get my phone setup with ICBINB GB and BAM here comes the KH1 leak.
Rooted and running Voodoo.
Every time man, every time. Get it set up just right and bam, another rom to play with. Hopefully this has better wifi. Thanks a million for this find krylon and Raver for bringing it over.

only uckk4 is corrupt. that's the one that dropped today. all the other leaks are working. look for uckk3, or better yet get the phone recovered with the stock package, get cwm, (I'd use the defuse kernel oneclick heimdall, quickest way to get cwm from stock) then flash caty rom or victory rom which will be rooted.

I'd say that for some reason the flash isn't taking. Try mounting Data before flashing.
Or and i forget the name, but there's an app in the market that will flash the bin.
ACS Updater or Darky's OTA, both are free in the market.

[Q] Need Help rooting G2X 2.3.4

i have had my phone for a couple months and have been trying to root it i look on youtube for guides but this phone seems to be the odd ball.... its running on 2.3.4 and i have tried (superoneclick) and (unlockroot) and none seem to work. I have heard there is a way to do it by (ADB)? If thats the only way and thats how you are going to tell me how to do please explain this has been really hard for me. thank you.

Someone correct me if im wrong, but in order to root this phone you need to flash an already rooted ROM, you must use the nvflash link that was provided for you no matter what, and then once CWM is flashed, flash a ROM.
Hope this helped!

Super one click doesn't put cwm recovery on the phone if you want rooted stock kwes has one pre made flash through cwm easy as pie guys. I dont understand why you would want your phone rooted with no recovery installed. Just makes it harder to fix if you mess up
