Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket CM9 Rooting help - General Questions and Answers

Hello, I'm having a problem with rooting. I'm on CM9 skyrocket and, the problem is, yesterday I tried installing CF3D Drivers and it didn't. It said I didn't have root access... Well, I had everything and few hours before root was working. I install superuser signed for arm devices through, Clockwork mod. Then, restarted my phone and Superuser would just crash... Then, I installed Superuser 3.1.1 Binary (I think 3.1.1) and, restarted phone. Superuser just crashed once again... What do? Please halp.

Try resetting your phone altogether and doing the process again. You may have missed something. Root with superoneclick if you haven't.
Sorry if this doesn't help.
I don't have that much experience with your problem but those are the common fixes.
Hope I helped. hit thanks if i did.

[Q] update 2.1.0-2.2.3 LOST ROOT??

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??
i APPOLOGIZE if i posted this originally in wrong place.
First all, are you sure you're running the Infused.v2.2.3?? Beacuse if you are, then you're rooted.
If not, then you can simply root your phone again.

Yes, under setting>about phone i was running 2.1.0 and now says the update worked and i am running 2.2.3 infused. I was rooted before update now all my root apps are being denied by SU. SU was in app drarer before update and all was well. SU still in app drawrer but now not working. I installed Root Checker from mkt and it does see SU 3.0 on phone but says i never got rooted or it was done wrong. I can get a log from that app if you will be able to make heads or tails of it. I tried to install busybox and it just fails causes it says i'm not rooted. so i'm confused...i uninstalled updates to SU, that didn't work...i have looked at all the SU settings and as far as i can tell i have it set right...
as far as rooting again?? I didn't do it the first time...someone did it for me..can someone give me a link for the best way to do that...and if i have to do that..can i just do it on top of what i have now and not lose anything? I read that rooting an infuse running GB is not or close to not possible? am i wrong? I hope so.

[Q] HTC Desire S MIUI 1.11.25 - Root Access Suddenly Gone?

Hey,
EDIT!: I restored one of my backups with ROM Manager (Which still could restore ROMs? ) and i got my root access back! =)
Sorry if theres already a thread about this somewhere which Google haven't been able to find.
About a month ago i successfully rooted my phone using revolutionary. I tried out a few ROMs and ended up with MIUI 1.11.25, and suddenly i lost root access. Im not sure when this happened, it might have been when i updated from MIUI 1.11.18 to 1.11.25, which i did a couple of days ago,(I wiped dalvik cache and flashed with ROM Manager since the buildt in updater didn't work) or when i tried to update Busybox with an app from the market... :/
Weird thing is, Superuser runs perfectly normal, while almost every other root app i have tells me i need root access to use the application. I tried updating and installing the Su zip file (Binary?) and updating Superuser, but it didn't work .
Another weird detail is that root checker says "Congratulations! You have root access!" While ROM Manager can't run fix permission.
Should i reflash my ROM or a backup? Or is there some weird simple fix to this (Please!)?
Im not a wiz at rooting so if your able to, please put it in simple words
Thanks,
Mikkel

[Q] OTA to 4.3 with OTA Rootkeeper worked but not really?

I have searched the forums and can't find anyone with this problem. (Although I am also having similar problems to others who took Verizon OTA to 4.3.)
I was rooted, using CWM/TWRP. I backed up my ROM, temporarily unrooted with OTA Rootkeeper, which actually worked. I got the OTA update to 4.3. Sadly, this was before word was out about all the problems. (The rootkeeper is what apparently worked because VZ pushed this update out several days ago and my prior rooted ROM would not accept the update.)
I initially got stuck on the yellow triangle "go to Verizon now" screen but managed to get past that. What is troubling me is this: When I open Super SU, I get the "binary needs to be updated. Continue?" I click "continue" but then it asks to update "normal" or "TWRP/CWM." If I click TWRP/CWM, my tries to boot into recovery but then just goes to the yellow triangle of death page again and I get stuck until I can trick past that screen again. If I click to update "normal" it tries to update but then I get "Installation failed!"
Anyone know the problem with updating the SU binary?
What is super weird, though, is that my Supermanager app is working just fine, even the root only functions such as superlauncher.
My App Quarantine application also works just fine and it is root only. But when I try to open Titanium Backup, it won't grant superuser permission. So, it seems my phone is still rooted but not really?
I also cannot boot into recovery either using hardware buttons or using ROM manager.
This is very frustrating for me.
Does anyone know how to figure out my rooted or not rooted issue?
Thanks for any help!

When you accepted the update, you're not supposed to do anything that has to do with CWM or TWRP. This is because the Knox bootloader has taken over.
Try rooting through the saferoot method and then use titanium backup again.
As for the binary, can't really answer that since I'm not on the Android 4.3 update (can't accept official updates because of my micro SIM card). Go to the official 4.3 discussion thread and then ask about this.
Here's a link to the thread.

[Q] There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. Please help!

Hey there guys,
I am a person who regularly tries new ROMs and enjoy doing so. Everything was fine until I ended up with this mess "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem".
Trust me guys, I have tried everything possible, but nothing seems to be working. My phone seems to be rooted, but since there is this Superuser issue, I am not able to boot to recovery and do a fresh ROM install. I tried installing apps like ROM manager, MobilUncle tools and almost everything in the market and nothing seems to be working. Even tried updating The Superuser, in vain though.
I tried doing a factory reset, no use.
I am using a Celkon signature A119Q. Any help will be appreciated guys! I need this to work badly...

urgent help needed - xperia c

Hi people. I own a Xperia C. Recently, I was trying all sorts of mods on it. I had installed Busybox before and updated it today. Then I just randomly pressed install button, uninstall button and then install again. Then a problem came in my device. Busybox broke. Wifi is no longer working on it. I tried reinstalling busybox and even factory reset. SuperSU is now not even uninstalling, ie I can't even unroot my phone now. Now, what do I do? Should I flash Stock ftf? Will it work? If so please link me there. Regards, please help urgently!!
Note: I can access my device, working. But Wifi isn't working and in ES file explorer if I go to the mount option in root it crashes. Busybox root not found even though SuperSU grants it.

Try Flash using PC Companion.
Hi, thanks. But I already managed in fixing the device. Went to recovery, wiped pre-flash. Then flashed Xperia C Stock Rom (Got from Development forum). Then rooted, installed busybox and everything else, and done.
