Hi,
I have a C10 SBK2 Transformer and I`m rooted it using UNLOCKROOT via usb.
I installed the ROM Manager and CWM in order to install the Android Revolution HD ROM, but everytime I reboot into recovery mode the tablet loads the ICS system and doesn`t load the CWM.
Does anybody know why it isn`t booting into recovery?
Thanks in advance
Not sure but if you have a terminal app try using reboot -r or whatever switch tells it to reboot to recovery.
Alternatively until you figure it out use rom toolbox app. There is a function to boot to recovery.
To me it sounds like you don't have permissions somewhere. The root method you did might not have worked.

Dont use ROM Manager. Theres an app on these forums simply called "recoveryInstaller". Thats what you should be using.

Hi to all,
I have a similar problem.
I've use unlockroot to gain root permission on my tablet. I used root check basic to check if I have gained root access and it said yes.
So I've installed ROM Manager from Google Play and installed clockworkmod recovery (before "standard", after "touch"). When I try to boot into recovery mode, I found an android opened with a red exclamation point on it.
So I have tried RevcoveryInstaller.apk, but when I execute this app, it return this error: "You are not rooted".
Any suggestion?

Dear Goatshocker,
Thank you fot the suggestion, but I had the sample issue theH4mmer had.
Dear theH4mmer,
I had the same problem as you had, that's because unlockroot didn't root our phone. Please download the vipermod tool to properly unlock your phone and install the CWM.
Hi,
I just rooted my sensation (t-mobile) using juopunutbear's wire trick and everything and flashed the clockworkmod touch recovery and it works. Then, I used the recovery to flash the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and that seemed successful. However, when I rebooted, I downloaded root checker, and it said "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access." Does anyone know whats wrong or had a similar problem?
The phone's software number is 3.32.531.14 710RD. I also attached a picture of the bootloader. Any help would be great appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Edit: PROBLEM SOLVED!

you can try to install any app that needs root permissions
and see if it works just for testing
otherwise flash 4ext recovery and then flash the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip again
for recovery see here

I get an error, it's in the attachment:
I figured out the problem! Apparently since the phone was ICS, su-2.3.6.3 did not work. Thus, I found the superSU.zip and installed that and it worked!

I think it's much better if you install Superuser.apk rather than SuperSU.apk, you can find it here http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Download its files (superuser and su-binary) that appropriate to your device and then flash it via Recovery (CWM/TWRP).
im having the same problem, i will install superuser but how do i uninstall SuperSU ?
You must install supersu by recovery. Search for supersu on xda and download de latest version in zip version. Install it with e recovery and enjoy it.

Try to use the recovery method several times. It will probably work after some tries. Also, did you update superSU from the market? Do this first.
Try to install SuperUSER.zip via recovery.
It will root your phone and It will install Superuser apk.
I had the same issue and now, superuser works fine <3

I have SuperSU and I also have the problem with the binary update failing. Can you please tell me how to install supersu via recovery? How to install anything via recovery?
Thanks, I am good at administrating windows PCs, but android is a totally new field to me...

SuperSU flashable zip can be found here.
Hi - I didn't have a problem finding the zip - that is easy. I don't know how to flash these things "via recovery" or whatever that means...
I found some guides which say how to flash zips through recovery CWM / TWRP, but as I dug deeper, these things require root to function properly, but that is the thing - I don't have the root, since I cannot update the SU binary library, see?
Also - when I tried to get to the recovery mode by pressing the buttons as it was stated in the guide, I got into some mode, but I got only an image of phone and cable connected to it, which was crossed by red lines. And no menu, nothing... it seemed, that the phone should be connected to the PC, but the guide didn't say anything about connecting phone to PC before entering recovery mode.
Could you help me solve this issue with binary thing from ground up?
Thanks

1. Unlock your bootloader via HTCdev.com
2. flash a custom recovery via fastboot (This toolkit will help you --> LINK
3. flash superuser

I have LG P880, not HTC phone...
Just how do I go about flashing it? It seems the only way to boot into recovery mode is to have root access which I don't have because Supersu needs an update. It's all a tiring cycle.
So I used the Casual one-click tool to root my Verizon S3. TWRP installed correctly but I have no SuperSU. I tried installing it from the app store but it crashes whenever I try to get root access. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Odin back to stock and try the casual tool again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825 but don't do the 1 click option. Root your phone, reboot and see if the installed superuser app is working (you'll be able to install the binaries if you're rooted). And then unlock your bootloader and flash recovery. The first post has the correct instructions.

Thanks a lot. Ended up doing this before seeing this post and now everything is running smoothly. Just figured I'd check back to mark this thread as solved.
This afternoon I applied OTA 3.1 to my Shield Tablet, and reinstalled CWM and flashed supersu. My tablet booted correctly but I don't have root. If I open the SuperSU app, I get "there is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
I also just noticed that CWM is not there now. It was there when I flashed it with fast boot, but now it disappeared from which I don't understand. Also just to clarify, SuperSU installed as a system app from the zip, I didn't download it from the play store.
Reflash recovery via fastboot, boot into CWM then reflash latest SuperSU in CWM.

That's what I did, same as when I first rooted, but the SuperSU app says there's no SU binary and CWM is there but disappears after a reboot.

I'm having the same problem.
Im also with the same problem, on 3.0 i used kingroot, but with 3.1 doesnt work also.
Not sure how it works with cwm, not sure if there's a fine manager. But in twrp try mounting system, go in to advanced>file manager and go to the folder 'system' and rename the file 'recovery-from-boot.p' to 'recovery-from-boot.bak' or something else, and flash cwm or twrp again. Then flash your super user again.
King root 4.5 works to root easily
Got it rooted again
I finally got it rooted again.
1) Put supersu.zip on to sd card.
2) Flashed TWRP with ADB fastboot.
3) Rebooted into recovery.
4) Flashed supersu.zip from the sd card.
5) Rebooted
After that it was finally rooted again. Hope this helps anybody else who has this problem.
Unfortunately though since I got my tablet when it first came out I have a recalled one. This will be my 4th RMA. LOL

Thanks I'll try that as soon as I can. In CWM there's no file manager but you can use an adb shell. I'm just a little nervous disabling a file named recover from bootloop. After i root do i re-enable it?
EDIT: This worked and now CWM sticks, but i still get the SU binary not installed error.

No. It restores stock recovery on first reboot.
Kingroot worked for me guys
What I don't understand is how the zip can install the SuperSU app as a system app, but not install the SU binary. Is it possible to manually copy the Su binary to my device? I have root access in recovery mode.
Dose anyone have any idea why this happens?
It works now with the new version of supersu
Is there a guide for rooting the shield from 3.0 and up? Thanks.

That's for 2.0...am I wrong? I'd like a similar guide for newer versions, namely 3.0 and on. Thanks.

It dose say for 2.0, but it should work on everything. This is the "real" way, other methods are hacks that work only on certain versions. I prefer this method, it gives you the most insurance against damage, but you could always just use kingo root. Also, versions 2.x and 3.x are both lollipop.

Just out of curiosity, doesn't fastboot boot (image of recovery) just boot into the recovery and not flash it?
From previous experience, to reflash recovery you need something like flash_image or a way to write the image on the recovery partition... Correct me if I'm wrong...
