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. So I come to you fellow Samsung Infuse 4G owners for help. I have successfully rooted my phone with super one click, ran clockwork recovery and installed zeuss's build 6 and my phone runs great. 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. BTW I'm Dustin I'm 27 and I live in Washington state and I love my swet zeuses builded phone. Thanks in advance

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

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.????

Uninstall the update
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
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'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?

I tried asking this in the Droid 2 forum but no one knew how to help.
So i'm gonna try posting this here, sorry if this is against the rules.
I have a droid milestone 2 that is no longer getting service from anywhere. No calls, no text, data and (curiously) no ability to connect to wifi. Went to bed one night, woke up and almost called off work!!! The phone is not rooted and I still have full access to the phone so I backed up everything that is on it and factory wiped it with no luck. Called Verizon, they reset it to defaults a second time with no luck and said that it was a defect with the software.
My question is that if it’s a defect with the software, would upgrading the firmware to ICS help?
If the answer is yes, can I even do it without data on the phone?
I looked up how-to’s on how to flash the firm ware and found a wiki page that helped
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/(deletethis)Motorola_Droid_2:_Full_Update_Guide
but this only worked when flashing to Cyanogenmod 7, the software downloadable from the page did not work with 9.
I know the apps I need is clockworkmod Recovery but I cannot install it from the app store because the phone isn’t getting any type of connection, and the version given from the wiki page can’t do Cyranogenmod 9. So I need an updated .apk file of clockworkmod recovery mod to upgrade the phone to ICS
Any help or guidance would e very very appreciated.
First off you never want to flash using Rom manager so u need to manually put clockwork on with a PC ... the version of clockwork will not matter you can still flash ics ..... flashing may help and it may not it depends on what the problem is ... also not to be a d*** but is the phone in airplane mode?
YouTube will show you how to do all this

dude you cant flash roms or sth like unless you have a rooted phone. guess your phone is already rooted.
you did already backup why dont you make a full wipe and flash a proper rom. you can revert your phone back later if you want
i have rooted my g2x several time but after i shut if off to charge at night i tuirned it on and it went straight to the cwm recovery screen i wiped it and restarted it and it went right back to it i flashed several other roms and when i went to reboot it it still rebooted to recovery screen i formated everything i new of what am i doing wrong. i had a stable rom in it and it was working for like 3 weeks before this happened . I hope someone can help me on this i love my phone and dont want to lose it.
Wrong section. This is for development. Try reflashing clockwork or redownload the rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Did you create a nandroid back up? If you did, go into cwm > backup and restore > restore > find your orignal rom > yes
If not re-install cwm to install roms from sd card and NOT internal memory.
Follow the guides below to the letter.

At first I was like... why? Then was like ooohh.
How to fix your problem: Read, read, then read some more.
ANY problem you have has already been addressed. 99% of the time, nvflash will save you.
Now stop making multiple threads and either READ or gtfo and stop messing with your phone. If you don't have the patience to learn and read then you deserve to brick your phone.
i just nv flashed it i tryed to mount the usb from cwm recovery and it doesnt mount

My wife's phone is rooted and has been running BAMF for a long time. Well, it's slow as nuts right now and she asked me to redo it. I've been using Jellyblur on my phone, she liked it, and asked that i install that. Well, i can't for the life of me get the phone to boot with a new rom. Multiple downloads, and even downloaded about 3 different roms and it won't get past the white HTC screen.
I can reload my backup I made and it will start up just fine, but it just DOES NOT want to boot with a new rom.
I'm doing full wipes and I even copied the file I installed on my phone to her phone and tried installing that. No go.
Any ideas?

You likely need to update the Recovery.
I'm guessing it has some older form of Clockwork Mod Recovery on it.
You should update to 4ext.
That link is the app that you use as an interface for while in Android OS and it also installs the Recovery.
Install it while in Bamf, load the app and install recovery for HTC Thunderbolt.
Then try updating the rom, good luck!
If you end up liking it, support the dev and buy the full version of the controller app.
The recovery is free and so is the app I linked you however...
Recovery was indeed out of date. Thanks a million ..wouldn't have thought of that!
