RESOLVED [Q] install-recovery.sh Missing

I have rooted my Nexus S 4G and it seems that CW is installed and is stuck but I didnt find /etc/install-recovery.sh and didnt rename it. Will this have an impact if I try to go back to non root?
I have full root access and I have a Custom Kernel installed. I am also able to get into Recovery every time I go into Fast Boot.
I am just curious if not having install-recovery.sh on my phone is something that I should be worried about? Thanks.

I think that non stock ROMs remove the install-recovery.sh script.

[Q]Recover root

I tried SuperSU root app and i realised that I don't like it. I pressed the button what said something like switch superuser or like that, after that I waited a little then my phone rebooted skipping LG logo.
After that I found out that original superuser application was gone and SuperSU didn't work anymore, then I installed superuser again and tried to update such it failed on granting root, tried again like 3 times and then it succeeded and superuser worked but after reboot it started force closing.
Does anyone how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for my bad english

hmm... I think you can root your phone again(the same way you did before ).Also, if you want to change from superuser to supersu(or vice-versa), the only thing you need to do is:instal the other app, open it, update binary and ONLY THEM UNINSTALL THE ONE YOU AREN'T USING.Sorry for my bad english, hope you get it

Yes, try to reroot, if it don't work, try to complete remove root and then reroot.If you have a recover, it's better to make a backup before, waiting for feedback, good luck

[Q] question about Rom Ported JW8 v2 SAUROM Project

Sorry guys I'm new to XDA so i have to pots only in Q&A section.
I installed Ported JW8 v2 SAUROM Project rom days ago, its been running ok, very quick rom, the only problem its that i can't manage the root access for the applications, it seems to be that it not working.
does anyone knows any fix?
thanks
Is superuser installed? If so go to it, and go to settings and enable root. Should be OK.
If its not installed it might be the ROM didn't default it.
You could probably one click easy root. Just like the stock Rom.

I had the same problem. I believed that somewhere in the thread the op listed a flash able zip that would fix the Superuser problem.
Here you are:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34358973&postcount=38
I had a similar issue once, just telling superuser to allow that app fixed it. But I'm guessing previous poster was the answer

[Q] Unroot S3 without computer

Hi all. First off I'd like to apologise if this is in the incorrect place (as a seasoned user of forums like this I understand how irritating it can be) but I've hunted about and this is the most relevant board I can find.
The USB port on my GT-I9300 is broken - I can't charge and can't connect to my PC - so it's looking like I have to send it off to Samsung to get it fixed/replaced however I have rooted my phone. Is there a way I can unroot it without having to connect to a computer?
Any advice is greatly appreciated as I'm in a bit of a panic.
You should be able to pull a clean ROM onto it then reboot in recovery and do a factory reset then install the clean, stock ROM. I don't know if they will even care about that but a good just in case

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I'm a bit of a luddite so I'm not entirely sure how I would go about doing the above?
There should be an option to unroot in the su app. Idk which su app you are using but super su has a full unroot option.

Thanks! I never noticed that option before. I'll give it a go.
I've seen some talk of needing Triangle Away & Mobile Odin to unroot my phone properly? Is that correct or am I okay just using the option on SuperSU since I've never actually installed a custom rom, I just unrooted the phone?
This is the Verizon forum. Not sure if the advice applies to the international version.
