Nexus S 4G 2.3.7 update

Hello everyone. So today I updated my nexus s 4G to 2.3.7 and in the process I lost my root. I still have the su.zip on my sdcard and my bootloader is still unlocked. Is there any way that I can just flash superuser again?

[Q] SU Binary Not Found

I installed OmniRom and there was no root access so I wiped everything and did a fresh install but there is still no su binary. I downloaded SuperSU to install it but it doesn't work. Normal method fails and the recovery method says it will reboot into recovery but it does nothing and even if I manually reboot into recovery it still doesn't install. I would appreciate any help

Did you look at post this in the omni rom thread? Anyone else having this issue? When you say you downloaded and installed supersu, how did you try to install it?

What version of SSU? You need at least 1.65. 1.69 i s the newest.

Are you trying to flash the zip in recovery or the apk? I always just flash the SSU zip in recovery after the ROM, Gapps and kernel I use.

Lost root!?!?!? Help!

So I have twrp and slim Kat 4.4 on my tab 2 and I tried installing xposed framework and it says I don't have root... then I downloaded root checker and it said the same. No idea how I lost root but what's the best way to get it back without starting all over?

So you've rooted that bad boy previously, right? If so, on Android Andi's Omni build you have to flash SuperSU after ROM and gapps. Maybe Slim is the same?

brother just flash super su zip file from recovery and everything will be fine

If you want to make root permanent then open titanium backup hold super su and select " convert to system app ". By this you will not loose root again until you flash a new rom. Factory reset your phone and see still you have root

[Q] Rooting Question

Hey I guys,
I'm a noob at this stuff so I apologize if this is dumb question but do I need to have a recovery before I root or can I root and then install a recovery?

no you dont need a recovery for root, use can use framaroot app.
Yes you can install recovery anytime after or before root..

Framaroot

Thank you so much. Where do I get framaroot? I looked on the Play Store but it is not there. When I get it, will that allow me to put a recovery on it?

see the list of supported devices.
its only for rooting and it doesnt help you with installing recovery.

Is there a way you recommend installing a recovery?I've looked on cyanogen mod but I don't think they support my device. Any ideas?

Wwhich device are you using ???
All devices have a recovery mode . While rooting you are replacing a recovery mode like cwm .
Click thanks If I helped

what phone?

I've never had an issue rooting... its gotten pretty safe, as long as you follow the steps closely you shouldn't have any issues or worries about bricking anything.
There are backup options of your rom after you root it. Clockworkmod Rom Manager makes backups and installing new rooms as easy as 3 buttons.

Since the galaxy player 5 us version is older device is there a clockwork mod recovery for it?

Did you flash jbx?

Had the problem in slim from 3.1 version onwards

I don't know about the Atrix 2 builds, but on the newer builds of slim for other devices you have to enable root under settings/developer options. :thumbup:

I didnt installed jbx nor did i flashed a update.... Tried fixing root using bmm still didnt work.... Nw also tried rooting using adb root file while on ics... No change...... Same error again..... NY1 KNW HW TO ROOT ON KITKAT ROM ????

I am using slimkat since build 4 and never have issue like that. I used both JＢX kernel and stock kernel. Both are working great.
Maybe it is time for you to install a new build?
By the way, you might need to check root access using other app instead of Tiback up.
I use tiback-up in my other device and it does not work. I flash SuperSu and then it finally worked again.
Maybe you phone still has root access but just tibackup won't regcognize it. check root access first. Then try flash SuperSu.
You last choice is clean reinstall a new build

I hav upgraded to d latest version of slimkat....reverted bak to 3.6 as battery life was poor on latest build.... Also tried latest jbx and that 27/2....due to force close and black screen issues(sometimes)....removed it...... 1st thing i did wen i lost root access was to install superuser app and also tried root checker app (root access had no prob)....root apps dont work.... Den tried fixing it with bmm (install root access Nd fix permission option).... Nothng wrkd.... Den checked the developer setting (root access to apps and adb was there.... No prob).... Den i went bak to ics..... Tried root. Exe thing again..... Still no success.... Atlast i restored ics using bmm......all my settings and custom roms got destroyed...... (but gained root access bak after restore).... Nw no prob....... Anywz ty so much...... I'm not sure, d prob might be in install root and fix permission option.... That caused error in superuser app.....
Using slimkat 3.6 for (almost 2 months)
