Hey I'm pretty much a noob to Android.
When I first got my phone I rooted and installed cyanogenmod with pretty much no problems. Well that was a while ago and I was getting bored of the rom I had, I decided to change my rom to MIUI. Well the rom works fine superuser was still installed, so I tried running busybox and then got the message that Superuser denied busybox. I usually get the option to choose if I want to allow or deny an app with root access, but not this time. So basically I've been looking through google and some of the replies said I needed to reroot... Which I have no idea how to because I already have it "rooted".
I'm just confused because I got a root check app and it says im not rooted, The I got rootkeeper and the status said I was rooted and superuser is installed.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Miui is an overprotected ROM IMO. You have to go into various security apps to enable root access

Miui is already rooted. Superuser is not needed. LBE replaces it and handles all root access. delete superuser and let LBE do its thing.

Thanks a lot, I opened LBE Guard and allowed myself root access. So simple but lesson learned.

So I just bought my Droid 2 the other day and could not resist the temptation to root it. Well, that process was easy enough through tutorials on here, but now i've stumbled upon a problem. When I awoke this morning, there was a notification to update to 2.2.20 (i had rooted it with 2.2.19).
No serious issues here... the update went fine and no bricking or anything. I still have all my apps and my current phone version is 2.2.20. My problem is that I lost the root-enabled features! superuser permissions is still an app, but the apps that access root are unable to (barnacle, setCPU, etc).
I'm not sure if this is as simple as going through the process again, or since it's been rooted do i need to do something different this time? I'm somewhat familiar with UNIX so i shouldn't need a fully dumby-proof explanation, but I'm not familiar enough where a barebone explanation will do it either. If anyone can help it'd be great. No rush though, phone still works i just really miss my wifi tether!
I think you can reroot using the same method

Install an update or do the .sbf recovery.
Alternatively, go in /system/bin and remove su and busybox and restore any removed system apps, as long as you haven't done any changes

hi im new to all the rooting so i tried the one click root method found on xda and it says it is s-off but none of the rooted apps work on my phone i do have rooted access though adb. it seems like im missing the superuser file. is there a way to push it over alone?
Just go to the app market and get superuser, and clockwork recovery.
i tried but it says im not rooted and wont give me permission
Hiya - I would have posted this as a reply in the "Root the OTA updated RUU with gingerbreak thread" here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057104
But unfortunately things have changed here recently and since I have < 10 posts I can't reply in that thread directly, so I'll go ahead and discuss my findings in here.
I returned to stock a while ago because I didn't like the radio, gps and sound differences. I like the stock ROM fine enough, but I would like root on my phone to remove the ATT bloat, use Titanium Backup, etc.
Since I rooted my phone a while ago, I already had S-OFF, so that wasn't a problem. I received the OTA update a while ago. Today I used gingerbreak 1.2 (via adb push) to root the phone. The rooting went well - Superuser was installed. I went ahead and installed busybox and that seems to have worked, but the root itself isn't stable.
For instance, every time I try to run Titanium Backup and it asks Superuser for permission, Superuser crashes.
I also get the same result when I run term emulator and attempt to issue a simple SU command:
"the application Superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
So it doesn't seem like this method is going to work so well for me after all in order to achieve my goal of a stock rom with no bloat. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, is there a workaround? I don't assume so because I don't see one in the thread, but still I thought it prudent to bring this to your attention.
Thanks!

I did see that once, open the superuser.apk then pen the app again as a temp workaround, once they get permission they tend to work. If it persists, I believe you can update the su binaries and that should resolve it. I think it has to do with the version of su that gingerbreak installs. Someone who has dealt with this problem could probably better answer it, but this may help.
once gingerbroken can cwm be installed?

As long as you have s-off, yes.

I did that and SU still crashes whenever an application asks for root access or su is invoked from terminal. I even installed the latest superuser binary from the market.
The bonus is that I can at least enter custom APN settings, so that's nice.

I have CWM flashed from when I first rooted the phone, but when I select recovery it just gives me the exclamation point over the phone.
bump - anyone get anywhere closer with this in testing? Thanks!

Now that sounds like the recovery.img has been corrupted. Even without root, if recovery.img is fine it will boot cwm. I hate to say it, but I would RUU to stock and start the process over, and verify that you have CWM before proceeding, as my method does not have a recovery.img to flash.
The other option would be to try attn1's pd98img.zip of the Inspire 1.84 RUU in the dev section, that may also work, then let you flash CWM recovery from ROM Manager.

Choose "fix problem" or something like that in Titanium backup. It will install missing busybox.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
it doesnt have a "fix problem" it just has "problem"? and it doesnt do anything to help. but i used root checker and it says busybox is installed correctly but when i go to check root access it says "root access is not properly configuered or was not granted. it also says SU binary not found or not operating properly... do you know what i am doing wrong??
Did you allow titanium backup root access when prompted ? You can check in Superuser.

i have the same problem as you but you said you eventually rooted the garmin how did you get it to work????
to start, i'm running version 4.0.4 of stock ICS, and my bootloader is still unlocked I had rooted before the OTA came out, but now I don't really care to have root permissions and was planning on deleting superuser if at all possible (just so everything is clean and untouched). I haven't really been keeping up with everything for the past while, and have a couple of questions.
I'm assuming that in order to delete the current version of SU binary installed on my phone i'll have to gain root access again seeing as how I lost it after the update. can I just flash an old version of cwm and then install a newer version of SU? also, what's the easiest way to remove SU? I was planning on removing it through adb, but i'm not sure if that's the simplest way to go about things. any help is greatly appreciated.
anyone?
