[Q] Restore Root - Stuck

Hopefully someone can help me out on this one because I'm not quite sure what to do at this point. I have a G2x that was having multiple issues so I decided to root and install clockworkmod recovery so that I could flash CM7RC1. I flash CM7RC1 successfully but failed to realize that I did not properly install CWM as I accessed it via ROM manager (lack of proper reading on my part). Since going to CM7RC1 I've lost root and am unable to use Super One Click 1.9.1.0 to get it back. I seem to have lost all Linux commands (ls won't even work through the terminal emulator) so when Super One Click runs it says FAIL as it cannot chmod or mount. If you have any idea on how I can restore root or CWM let me know. Thanks!

HA! Well be that as it may, is there anything I can do...or am I stuck?

Fixed the issue by NVFlashing Clockworkmod recovery with TGA_Gunnman's excellent one-click utility. After that it was easy to restore the backup I had made.

Issue with 1.85 One-Click Root

I'm too new of a member to be able to post my issue in that forum so I will post it here.
I got to the point where It checked for updates on the phone, then starts to reboot, and during the reboot the program continues and starts giving more errors. I didn't see a similar issue in the thread that pertained to my particular issue. Here is the error I'm getting :

I'm assuming the root didn't work. How would I know? Any ideas?
Thanks

Check your app drawer for SuperSU. If it's there click it and see if you can update the binary. If you can, you're rooted. If you can't or if it's not there than you need to repeat the process until it works.

Ok. It is there and it asked me to update, and that part worked. So... I guess I'm rooted then? I can move on to the bootloader unlocking then?

Yep, youre rooted. Now go and get that bootloader unlocked and flash CleanROM!

Okay so I rooted and unlocked BL. I also used fastboot to flash CWM, but when I try to boot into recovery, it just gets stuck on the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" page and a message in red text underneath.
I've tried reflashing it a few times and no results.

Hello,
Try downloading Goomanager in Google Play and going to "options" install recovery script, it isn't CWM but I actually like it much more. Good Luck

Question about casual app.

I'm not rooted yet but since this app is for mac, I can finally get to it. So question is, since I'm going to root and unlock the bootloader, does the phone need to be off? Mostly for the root part I guess. May be a dumb question but I'm sure something as little as that could mess up the phone. Then dl new cwm and profit?

No!!
Why have the phone off to root?
Where did you here that?

Not sure. What about in odin mode? I'm pretty sure the other root methods had you in odin

Here's a one click root for you.

I tried several times, using Verizon S3 with the OEM cable, USB debugging checked under dev options. Any ideas why it fails or what I left out? Also, the next step in the guide I was following here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 says to "Flash unsecure aboot to unlock bootloader" but that option is not listed on the casual app..
Thanks.

There should be 5 or 6 options in the drop down menu. First should be debugFSroot, last should be flash unsecure boot.img. also make sure your selecting the correct operating system when installing jdk. Last option is to load casual thru wubi(windows ubuntu installer). The reason i switched the root section to the casual method is for the simple fact it works on windows,mac,linux and is all in one. You can root/unlock/flash cwm/ flash stock kernel & recovery/enable hidden menu/ reboot recovery, all from one program. This tool will be the go to option as adam keeps developing it!

Final Steps of Rooting Issue (Using DooMLoRD's root.zip)

Hello
I am new / a noob... [For Below I have highlighted what the issue is in RED on the code part of the issue]
I have looked on this site for three days running. I have made steady progress towards rooting my HTC Sensation XE, as a noob I have download alsorts of unecessary things and misunderstood alot of what is describe but I have done well so far - I believe.
Brief run down of things done:
- Installed all required drivers
- used this awesome guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660831][All In One][Guide] How To Root...
- Follwed guide and currently down at Step 2.3 - open extracted zip folder and click runme. thats all. (if experience any daemon hanging problems pls install htc sync and plug in phone so drivers are installed. once done delete htc sync and repeat root procedure) PC will open a cmd screen with prompts that you need to follow. The app does rest... So its nice and easy
Ok so to the point of this thread.
I downloaded DooMLoRD's root.zip doo dar (Lack the correct terminollogy - Im a noob so handicap is allowed)
Extracted all files
Opened up the 'Run Me.exe'
A cmd pops up, with info of preparation before hiting any key.
I hit the any key and below is what I get:

This restarts my phone but nothing else.
I have the su apps on my phone, I have root explorer too.
I've looked in the \system\bin and \system\xbin for an su or something titled su or su binary
Can't find anything so I am worried about that. - does my phone have an su?
Also from the code above it mentions 'cannot open for write: read-only file...' how do I change this if this is the source of the problem?
If not, further down it mentions not being able to copy 'superuser.apk' over - do I remove this from the extracted files and replace with a current version?
Please can you experts help me out - I have searched the forums but they only resolve other makes / models.
Additional info is I didn't S-OFF as I couldn't understand what to do, but skipping that step I still got this far so unsure if I needed it.
I appolagise for the lengthy post but it should help shortlist possible problems down abit.
Thanks for reading.

[Q] Problems Rooting Verizon Razr XT912 4.1.2

I have been trying to root my Verizon Razr XT912 running Device Software Version: 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US with the only tool I can find to use on mac (DROID_RAZR_Utility_Jellybean_XT912_WinMacLin) and I keep getting the following error. I am not sure what I am doing wrong and this seems like the most knowledgable forum. Can anyone guide me in the right direction? Is it my phone, my OS, my connection? I am pretty certain I followed all the steps exactly and I've searched through all the threads on the forum and most of them say something to the effect of "...then I tried again and it worked". Well I've tried about 15 times over the course of two weeks and nothing worked, I hate to admit defeat... but I need some help. Thanks in advance.

Here's what worked for me
I was having the exact same problem until I ran across this in another forum:
Windows-
-Download the zip file and extract.
-Connect device via USB (Make sure you have the current Moto drivers FIRST!)
-Make sure USB Debug is on
-Make sure you have Smart Actions fully installed, unfrozen and unmodified
-Make sure the phone IS NOT in mass storage mode
-Double click run.bat
For some reason, that fifth line is not included in the batch file's instructions. Once I knew to change from mass storage to camera mode, all went well!
