I have a Motorola Droid. It just updated to froyo 2.2.2 and I lost most of my root access. When I try z4root it says I am already rooted. When I try to use any apps that require su access it gives me an error message or it says partition can't be found. Is there any fixes?
I have the same problem... and have been working to try to fix for several days. If anyone can help it would be GREATLY appreciated!!
found a solution
USAFREEBIRD,
I found a solution. I uninstalled super one click and reinstalled version 1.7
Once opened, it ran and said my phone was rooted. When trying to use the wireless tether, it came back with a message that the phone was not rooted.
I turned the phone off, and upon relaunch wireless tether worked! My phone is back to root access! Good luck!
I tried that and it didn't work for me. Any suggestions?
Ok so over the weekend I decided to root my Charge and after going through the steps on youtube for the latest gingerbread Root charge I had success.
I found a apk file for a wifi tether and got it up and running, however I was receiving a SU binary update out of date and needed to update. My upload/download when the program was pretty slow too(.40kb/.23kb) so I decided to update.
However after getting through the Fixing database, Checking busybox, current install path and downlading new binary ok, when I get to checking md5sum I get a FAIL. So I rolled back SU and downloaded barnacle. It would work the first time I start it after downloading, again crappy speeds. After I stopped and restarted it I get these errors and the wifi tether doesn't start:
- NAT: Could not set NTU of pdpbr1: Invalid argument
- WIFI: Could not set ad-hoc mode of eth0: Invalid argument
- Connected to NAT
- Running...
- WIFI: Conld not set ssid of eth0: Invalid argument
- Stopped unexpectedly!
Trying to keep SU updated besides the binary I get the same errors with both programs from the start. I have root checker and am rooted correctly. What am I missing or doing wrong?
Also I was recently told I needed to boot into Clock Work Recovery, which I didn't have installed and turn off SU. I don't even know how to do that.....but I did just install clockwork recovery but still have no idea how to turn off SU. HELP please.

OK so I got clockwork recovery up and flashed. I still have the binary needs updated. I have the 3.0.3 zip file and when it goes to flash it it fails and reboots my phone. Please someone help. I've got binary 2.3.1 currently and can't get any higher
Google search for ChainsDD's superuser website (guy who made superuser I guess), from there you can download the most current superuser apk and binaries to flash in CWM plus update super user in the market afterwards if possible then update binaries through the app like normal and it should work... also what tethering app are you using? a common one is wifi tether version 3.1 beta6 in which there's a known issue that the app will not turn off tethering unless the phone is rebooted causing problems like yours and seems to be why it only works after you reboot
there is a newer version that is 3.1 beta7 I think and that apk is supposed to be fixed for that... also within the tether app set the master settings or something (haven't used it in a while lol don't remember what its called) to the Samsung Fascinate profile and use soft tap

I tried that last night as well. I found the latest 3.0.6 and flashed it using clockwork. It showed and updated my SU to v3.0.3, HOWEVER...the Su binary version was still at 2.3.1 and won't update. I still get the same errors as above.
I was using Barnacle and another stable wifi, can't remember the name atm and its no longer on the phone. I have the file at home.
Anyone? I've emailed ChainsDD with no reply either.
what kernel are you using?
Running 2.6.35.7 EP3
Help, still can't figure this out.
Anyone have an answer on why this is happening? Did I forget to do something? Should I startover with another flash? If so, can anyone point me to where I can get back to stock or what I need to do?
Thanks

if there's no fix by now then yeah I'd start over... find the Fix Your Phone sticky in the dev section and grab the stock EE4 .tar file as well as the pit file, flash them both in Odin (pit in PIT section and the rom in PDA with the repartition box checked) and when you boot up you should be at fresh new stock EE4 froyo... it'll probably prompt you to update to GB at that point which you can either do or ignore and put CWM on there and flash your rom of choice

I have a rooted GT-P6210 that was working perfectly fine and last night I updated Busy Box Free from Google Play. Busy Box Free reported an error with the install and shortly after I noticed that my Wi-Fi would no longer connect. It just reports "Error" after trying to connect to Wi-Fi.
I tried re-rooting my device but that didn't fix my Wi-Fi issues. I researched everywhere I could think of to unroot my device but all the threads seem to refer to guides that I don't see and firmware links that no longer work. I managed to find a copy of Odin3-v3.04 (not sure if that is the right version) but I still don't have instructions on how to do it nor do I have the firmware that I need.
I decided I would try going back to factory settings by powering off the device and booting into system recovery. I have done a wipe data/factory reset multiple times but Wi-Fi still doesn't work and I don't even know if that removed the root job I did.
When I plug my device into my PC and run Samsung Kies it reports that I have the latest firmware PDA:LA3 / CSC:LA3 (XAR)
So I am stuck and not sure what to do at this point. I have a pretty useless device that won't connect to Wi-Fi. I don't know if I wait around for ICS and install that if it will fix my problem.
Is there anyone that could help me restore my device to factory settings with actual guides, and provide working links to the firmware I would need?
Thanks for your help,
Bryson
I have an identical problem - albeit with a P6200 supplied by UK mobile network "3"
Busybox tried to update itself from 1.20.0 to 1.20.1 (using "Smart Install")
For whatever reason it failed. From then on, the Wifi wouldn't turn on - the button in the pop-up panel (can't remember what it's called!) going from grey to greyed-out green while trying to connect, and eventually giving up and dropping back to grey again - in control panel the Wifi section then just says "Error".
Also Tethering no longer works... clicking on "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" gives me "Turning on..." in grey for 15-20 secs and then "Error"
I've not tried a factory wipe/reset or anything yet. Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
I have also had this issue with my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (GT-P6210) since Monday evening.
When I noticed the problem I was going to try and restore a backup. During that process is when I noticed that I no longer had root access.
This morning I had a friend look at my device and he noticed that the 'Auto Update' was active. I thought I had that deactivated but apparently not. I’m wondering if an update was pushed out that destroyed root and as a result messed with the Wifi access. So far I haven’t gone any further than this.
Those of you having a similar issue, have you also lost root access? I wonder if re-rooting if that would solve the problem?

I started having the exact same issue two days ago, I've done countless factory resets and same deal, wifi comes up with error when trying to turn on.
I'm using an international p6200
PDA: P6200LUBKL1
Phone: P6200LUBKL1
CSC: P6200LUUBKL2
I've search everywhere for that firmware to try and do a re-install with Odin, but I cant find it.
Update: Just done a full factory reset, and still no Wifi.
Would a full firmware flash sort it? I've found the correct firmware for my UK "3" network P6200 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517934
This is for flashing with Heimdall:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
... though I've never used Heimdall - or even flashed a ROM TBH - so a bit hesitant to give it a go......
Update 2:
Just flashed with stock firmware and Odin - all back to normal, Wifi working!!
After much searching around I was finally able to find the correct original firmware for my TAB:
P6200LUBKL1
I found it on a Chinese site: (I cant post links yet lol )
With Google translator, I was able to download the file and flash the TAB using Odin3, everything worked perfectly, and Wifi is working fine again!!
I also had this problem after trying to update busybox,only I also had a random SoD issue that had me constantly rebooting my device. The only thing that managed to fix it was to Odin back to stock. I'm reluctant to root it again, but at least the problem is gone...
If you open the zip that you use to root this device, you will see that it is basically a binary called su and one script that move it to your device and set permissions. If you want to remove the root, you only have to delete this single file,
In some devices is not as easy, what the script do on our update package must be done with exploits, but the result is the same: move su to some folder on PATH, and set permissions.
That is it, there is no chance to be root fault, seems like some problem with busybos. Actually people like to blame root a lot
The same exact thing has happened to me with my P6210. When I put the device to sleep, I usually turn off wifi. This time I forgot and when I woke it up yesterday evening, the BusyBox updater was open. It failed, of course, and now my wifi won't turn on. No MAC or IP address.
EDIT: Used Odin to return to stock. Rerooted (but did not install CWM) and then installed Superuser, updated su binary. Then installed Busybox Installer which then installed Busybox. Stayed away from Busybox, which seems to have been the source of the problem on my device.
my bad..
Just updated Busybox to version 1.20.1 myself using the smart updater without any issues. Got message it installed correctly and wifi still works even after rebooting.
edit: One difference between me and the op is that I didn't use Google Play to update Busybox I used the apps smart install through the app itself.
Model GT-P6210 with LA3 build.
Could someone try to uninstall busybox?

I tried to uninstall busy box still no wifi.
In recovery mode I tried to reinstall my previous load from the file I had on my SD Card. Again no luck.
I'm willing to do a wipe on mine and put the original firmware back on. Has anyone done this with P2610? I have been looking through the forums and I have seen a lot for the P2600 but not much for P2610.
Thanks

Do you have root still? I can give you a copy of my /system/bin and /system/xbin. As you are about to flash it new i think it could worth the shot.

Yesterday after I flashed with the stock Rom, wifi was working fine, I rooted the tablet again installed busybox again and have not experienced wifi issues as of yet.
leodfs using RootChecker it showed that I did not have root access anymore.
isalas16 did you flash from the SD Card using the recovery mode? Or did you use a desktop program like Odin or Heimdall? Also do you have the name of the stock ROM file that you used?
I'm on the newb side of things here and I want to make sure I'm using the right process and files.
Thanks

That did the trick for me. Uninstalling busybox and factory reset did not work. Flashed stock with Odin.
I have wifi tether for root users and it has stopped working for some reason. I soft bricked my phone about a month ago and had to reinstall everything. I used supersu this time and also have voodoo ota root keeper. I have the most current Verizon update and don't know if this has anything to do with it.
When I use the app it starts without any issues. I get the symbol in my notification bar but it does not show the green one that let's me know I have a wifi hotspot active. It also says that it has been given root access. I am using the galaxy s3 profile and have tried the nexus one as well. All of the other settings are at their default value. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give to help resolve my problem!
Are there any other notifications, down where it says root granted? And does it show the mb up/down at the bottom of the app?
Which ROM are you on also... And try using the generic ICS/JB(Wlan0)
same issue
Im having the same issue after i updated to jellybean. I changed all the settings i could think of in the app settings itself. But notting works. It says its tethering i get the superuser granted, but then the download numbers stops at 0.2 kbps, the upload stays at 0.0 kbps and i cant get my computer to connect. Im running thr stock jellybean update rooted and cwm recovery.
P.s. this is my fisrt post and i cant find anything on the web for help till i found this today. Sorry for the problem and thankz for the help!!

Hoping you both are using Foxfi, right? It doesn't work with JB on most devices, it's in the write-up for the program if you look on Google Play (market).

Didnt see anywhere is say that, but thanks foxfi works ok.
I'm able to connect to my N7 with FoxFi but I'm not able to actually get online, any suggestions?
If any of you are still looking for answers to getting wifi tether to work, go to the link that coolfreak provided. I've confirmed that TrevE's modification works perfectly on the new Jelly Bean ROMs.
I'm using "Portable WiFi Hotspot Free" on the Jelly Bean leak and it works great
I am running stock android 4.4 on a Droid Maxx that was rooted on 4.2.2 prior to taking the 4.4 OTA (jcase method). I implemented the elegant native wifi tether enablement via the modified VZWEntitlementServices.apk. All was working well and I used the MobileHotspot many times under this configuration. Last week I unlocked my bootloader using the "China"/ebay method. After successfully unlocking and resetting up my phone, I reconfirmed working root, and tested to confirm that wifi tether still worked. (it did).
Then - yesterday, I attempted to launch the MobileHotSpot and after the "checking subscription status" toast message, instead of starting the hotspot, it displays an "Error" status within the app. I have tried wiping cache, rebooting, restoring the original VZWEntitlementServices.apk / .odex and re-implementing the native wifi tether solution. I also tried installing HotSpotLauncher.apk from a backup taken when my tether was working.
I am at a loss. Anyone else having this problem or had this happen to them? Any assistance would be appreciated. My next steps would be to install Xposed and try the wifitether module or perhaps try some of the tether apps available on the market - but those solutions seem less ideal than trying to figure out why this functionality was working last week and suddenly stopped working. Attaching a screenshot of the "error" condition.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Fixed!
I think I have found a solution and wanted to post if anyone runs into the same problem...
Per the below post I found, I deleted the \data\misc\wifi folder and rebooted my device. Once it booted back up, I was able to successfully start (and connect) to my Mobile HotSpot again.
