Bump
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 7in.

I've tried flashing it twice via CWM but wasn't successful both times. Here's what I did to make it work.
1. Extracted su and Superuser.apk from the .zip file
2. Opened up a command prompt and issued an adb remount command
3. Pushed su into /system/bin and /system/xbin
4. Login as su into Terminal Emulator
5. Changed file permission for su (chmod 6755 su) <- verify this by opening the updater script inside the zip file
6. Open Root Explorer and install Superuser.apk
7. Reboot

Had the same issue today. Totally screwed.
Resolved by downloading through ROM Manager superuser 2.3.6.3-efgh. It fails to be installed through ROM Manager b/c access denied, just disregard. Run any file manager, go to /sdcard/clockwork/download/....further find this zip-file -su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and move it into /sdcard.
Then reboot into recovery mode, run "install zip from sdcard", find this su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip on your sdcard and install it. REBOOT. Done.

(dont worry if you get an error not found some phones dont have this)
Credit goes to utankos over at rootwiki for creating the recovery.

Need some clarification
Perfect timing. I am just now starting to learn how to root my conquer 4g. I am having some issue locating this folder "/data/local/"
/data/local/flash_image recovery /sdcard/CWMR.img
I have installed the Root Browser - free version on my phone, but still not able to find the directory. Am I supposed to create the "local" folder within the /data folder?
Thanks.

I have never ran into a problem like this but do so in the /data folder on your phone and sorry this has taken so long I haven't been on XDA for a while. Tell me if it works.

/data/local dir in root browser
Hi, in order to properly see the /data/local folder which is a hidden folder you need to access it as root. If you installed root browser before the phone wa rooted it already checked for root access and was denied. From then on it will run without root permissions. you need to gran it root access before you can access hidden folders the easiest way would be to erase the data of root browser in options|applications.
hope this helps.

Thanks for this, works great!

Actually I'm having difficulties getting the CWM recovery to be permanent. When I reboot it reverts back to stock recovery. I followed all of the instructions on the tutorial that you provided.

[Q] Titanium Backup not working on my ROOTED One S

Hi,
Today I've unlocked, flashed Paul's CWM recovery, and then rooted my HTC One S.
I've installed SU and Busybox but Titanium Backup still says it couldn't get root privileges. What am I doing wrong?
reupugi

try to update the binarys in SU
if that fails re flash the root.zip file
happened to me yesterday

Thanx for the quick answer.
When I try to update the su binarys it fails saying it "failed to find currently installed su binery...
What does that mean?

uninstall and reinstall the SU app
or reflash the root file as this is supposed to install SU on your device

Well, last night I spent hours trying to uninstall and reinstall su. I've also flashed Paul's root twice but still no luck.. I've tried to install busybox with two different apps but still no luck... Is there any way to roll back everything and start over?

you need to flash the su through cwm. then you can update the app's. You can not just download a app and think that it will root the phone. Look at step 3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24478083&postcount=1

So I encountered a similar problem (https://github.com/ChainsDD/Superuser/issues/46).
Edit: Of-course it'd make more sense to confirm if this could be the problem first...
Code:
$ adb pull /system/framework/framework.odex
$ strings framework.odex | grep HtcIntentFlag
@test_code: getHtcIntentFlag:
@test_code: setHtcIntentFlag:
addHtcIntentFlag
getHtcIntentFlag
setHtcIntentFlag
I patched the su binary in accordance with the change I observed in the framework and that works for me.
Could the OP please try the following su binary:-
* http://revolutionary.io/one-s/su (md5sum: 83fdeaef210225d7361e6c8eb63bae96)
This will need to pushed from recovery, something like (after ensuring /system is mounted):-
Code:
$ adb push su /system/bin/su
$ adb shell chown root /system/bin/su
$ adb shell chgrp root /system/bin/su
$ adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
(You can obviously push to xbin/ if you have the appropriate symlink set-up in bin/, etc...etc...)

I've flashed su through Paul's cwm, following steps 1,2 and 3. I did have a problem entering bootloader through shutting sown - power+vol down. For some reason that didn't work, numerous times, so I got into the bootloader through terminal (mac) and command prompt (win 7).

Here we have 2 scenarios; the first is easy and the second is salty..!!
I hope you got the first scenario; since the second one is handy..!!!
The first scenario: you got custom recovery too:
If so, just get cwm SuperSU from here and flash it in cwm.
Other scenario if you didn't had custom recovery:
- Keep the previous root.
- Download SuperSU with su binary from same thread in previous scenario.
- Extract the content in a folder (we will call it SS so you could follow the procedure) and move it to your sdcard. The SS folder contains su and Superuser.apk).
- Download Terminal Emulator from Google play.
- Open Terminal Emulator and write this code:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
dd if=/sdcard/SS/su of=/system/xbin/su
chown root.root /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
Remember to hit enter in between those lines. Don't close Terminal Emulator now, just hit home button to minimize it.
- Now by any root explorer, go to /system/app and delete the Chinese superuser (don't do normal uninstall, you need to delete the apk from /system/app).
- Return back to Terminal Emulator which is still running and write these codes:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/SS/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
- Now reboot your device.

Is there any easy method Coz I'm beginner in programming.....

Please help me I don't understand which file to download from previous scenario as I open the thread I don't understand which file to download... if you can share the link..
Thanks in advance.
