Need some help from the experts out there...
I have atrix 2 on a custom 2.3.5 rom that i loaded a while ago. Obviously phone was rooted and everything worked. Went to apply update for ICS but it failed everytime I tried to install. Just getting failed message. So tried to reboot into recovery and realized that superuser is not recognizing apps or granting permissions. So thought I would just go back to factory and try again. Still failed. I cannot get superuser to prompt apps for root access. I cant load anything else because root will not work. Have tried to re-root phone and everything appears successful but it will not actually root. So what can I do to get out of this rom, either back to true factory or to ICS?

so i have a tb and rooted it. no problems there. i tried a few roms switched back to stock one . then tried to flash one and i got stuck on a boot animation. couldnt get anyting to work so i ended up taking it back to stock. ive seen in recovery mode it said s-on which i figured meant not rooted... but i still have the superuser app and stuff it just wont grant access to root apps that need permission like rom manager which wont flash or reboot into recovery or anything for me now. any suggestions.. what to do or try. i tried using the same root method that worked before but it wont work this time. the phone doesnt reboot when its supposed to after the first step.

S-on doesn't mean you've lost root, s-on is a bootloader unlock. Try going to tthe superuser app to see if some of the root apps are set to deny

no i can boot into recovery but i cant flash a file of course, and all it tries to do is check the pmg005 zip file and do an update in which it doesnt even update everything.. or at least last time it didnt. so i was unsure if i should just go back to stock and then reroot

Why do you still have a pmg05.zip file at the root of the sdcard for it to scan? Need to delete, move, or rename that to get to clockwork recovery

Sounds like you've missed a step or done something wrong to not get s-off
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
haah youre probably right. i have already removed that zip file from the root directory, and i did have it set to s-off however after i reloaded (im assuming) thats possibly what is causing it. thanks for the help guys, much appreciated
ok so when i try to boot into cwm or recovery it wont even let me pick anything it just has hboot highlighted and tries to read the pmg005 zip file that is not there fails... then i can reboot, reboot hboot, but not do recovery to flash anything,
You have to redo the rooting procedure. It sounds like you flashed a shipped RUU and rewrote all the partitions.
i tried rerooting using the same 3 step method I found on Droid forums. it wouldn't reboot when its supposed to after step 1. should I just try another method
So I'm helping my friend root his 4g slide (Having lots of experience doing this for the last year) but here's my problem. Everytime i go into recovery and install the new rom. On the reboot it begins to load up the new rom, then flashes over to the old stock rom. No matter how many times i do it or with different roms this happens. And when the stock rom loads i do not have root access, however recovery stays installed. I'm dumfounded by this and have searched as best i can with little results on this issue. Anyone have any Idea's?
You have Clockwork Recovery, but no root access on your Stock Rom. What I can think of is...
1) Your only Temp Rooted
2) Your S-On
3) You did all the rooting steps, but forgot to flash the Superuser Zip with Root access on it.
4) If you flash a ROM, but when it reboots your on the Stock DS Rom. Your S is on. This stops you from over writing the System. It does a check against the System to make sure that it's running the Stock Rom.
Just simply get S-Off. Very easy. Freevo is only a Temp Root. Revolutionary is the S-Off. You have to flash the SU Zip for full root access. This is all I can think of.
Try formatting system under mounts and storage in recovery.

Under was right. The boot showed it as s off with the s off boot version, wiping the system fixed it. Thank you very Mich gentleman.

I followed the guide on General forum to flash ICS 4.0.3 stock but my ROM Manager Premium isn't working properly.
Flash ClockworkMod, Reboot into Recovery works fine. It seems like everything else works too........
BUT Fix Permission. When I try to run it, it says 'An error occured while attemping to run privileged commands!'
Titanium Back Pro has green check marks on everything including Root access.
SuperUser and other apps that needs root access seems to work fine.
I downloaded Root Checker Basic and it says that my Nexus S is rooted.
Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper has all check marked as well.
Fix permission works fine on CWM recovery and I see CWM recovery when I reboot in recovery, not stock recovery.
Could anyone help me out with this problem... Thank you!
Just tried and same thing....not sure rom manager might need to be updated

Hopefully that is the cause of the problem. I will try contact the developer.
I've followed a few guides here, but having no luck... Also I'm new to all this. Been on Android since Jan from iPhone.
I put on CWM and that seems to work. Then I tried loading Superuser from my SD card. After a few errors (warned and expected) it went through.
But them I couldn't install busybox or anything else like titanium. I finally gave up after a few things and recovered to right before I put superuser on. Now my phone wont power off. Thoughts?

sometimes the root wont stick, try it again or a couple more times yet.
you cant install tb? or does it say cant get root access?
no root access means no su binary were installed so install su again in your recovery keep doing this till it sticks.
do a battery pull then in your recovery wipe devlak catch, that should take care of the shutdown problem.

Flash phone with CWM use this one
Clockworkmod Touch 5.8.1.3 Odin tar http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1566613
Then wipe data/factory reset, format- system, data and cache, and clear the partition and dalvik caches, do that to all of them 3 times each, using touch cwm.
Then odin ICS download it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
(make sure only Auto Reboot is checked nothing else)
Once the phone loads go through the setup then leave it alone, let it sit for about 20min then flash back the CWM. Then download Superuser from here and put it on the root of your SD card then flash it in CWM if it fails just keep doing it until it works, it worked the second time for me.
Once superuser is installed install busybox from the market and everything will work.
This method worked perfect for me. The key is to wait about 20min after you flashed ICS before you do anything else.
Go into security and make sure "Unknown sources" is checked
Hope this helps you.
Hello!
So here's the deal: yesterday I decided to try out CM10.1 on my Nexus S. Being my first time rooting this phone all went well and I managed to flash the rom mostly without any problems. But my main concern is that after running root checker I got a message that my device isn't properly rooted... I did it just because I tried using ES file explorer in its root settings in order to delete a gallery2.apk file in system, which resulted in an error.
It's strange because I flashed the superuser zip before the rom and as far as I know CM10.1 comes with SU installed in it initially... Otherwise the ROM works perfect.
Do I need to flash everything from the beginning, doing another factory reset/wiping the cache? So far I've tried just to flash the superuser.zip from recovery (running 6.0.2.5 CWM recovery as far as I remember) and it didn't appear to root the device, although it said it installed successfully in the recovery. It may be something to do with the recovery or SU version? Any help is much appreciated!

it's a problem about ES,
you should go to the settings and enable the root mode.

Yeah I know, tried that and ES said this feature cannot run on your phone... And the app doesn't appear in the superuser app either. Nothing does in fact. xD
