Using mods

Hi, I rooted my phone to install the hebrew fonts and it works great.
The phone is factory unlocked, I rooted it as I said and set up recovery. I am pretty sure I saw something about super user while doing that but not sure.
So when I try to install the n1 torch or other mods via the market after installing them I just get a black screen when running them saying it is accesing SU and then it crashes.
Do I need to do anything else or is it possible that there are different ways/versions of rooting the phone?
If I do need to something to update the SU will it delete all my current settings and apps? When I rooted the phone I lost all my installations and settings.
Also, can I safely install any OS updates now that the phone is rooted?
Thanks!

You need to to enable root access to use apps link N1 torch... aka. super user or su... to do this, either flash a cyanogen, enomther or madcao ROM or flash modaco's superboot boot image...
If you want to keep everything as is and just enable su, use the superboot boot image... you won't loose any setting or apps...
As long as you have the stock ROM, you can install all OTA updates even if the phone is rooted... else, if you installed a cooked ROM, you might have to wait for the cook to include that in his ROM (Of course, this is generally earlier than OTA updates)...

Thanks for the reply but I think I already did that while rooting the phone I double clicked on 'install-superboot-windows.bat' while in recovery mode.
Is that what you mean or am I missing something?
Also ,what do you mean by the stock ROM?
Thanks!

Heads Up: Superuser 2.3 doesn't work properly on Captivate

If you noticed, Superuser updated to 2.3 - make sure you do an nandroid backup before you attempt to apply it. I was able to apply it, and when I attempted to launch the application, it FCed on me. I was able to grant ROM Manager SU rights, but I just wanted everyone to be aware. You can see the original Superuser 2.3 thread here.

I did a nandroid restore and got rid of it since it was FC like mad.

SU 2.3.1 is up, and so far seems to be working without any issues.

FYI, I am also using 2.3.1 without problems. The only crash I noticed was when you checked the log before actually trying anything that used superuser it caused a FC. After using a couple of root apps, I can check the log without a crash.

Can I flash the 2.3.1 over the 2.3 version? I can't find any confirmation that this is the right procedure to update su.

Can't even get this to install properly on the Captivate. Installation aborted every time in recovery mode.

When I try to install from the market, I get package not signed properly error. What is the correct procedure to update your SuperUser.apk file?

might be helpful

if you go to the g1 thread and go to themes and ****....they got the apk for free......just gotta sideload it...ya digg
oh yeah it works perfect on my captivate....

I have su 2.3.1 and it works perfectly i upgraded it from market had 1.8 before i think on one of the one click root packages. No issues at all though and im back on stock rom right now.

[Q] SuperUser update problem

Hello there,
Last Sunday I updated my SuperUser apk to the latest version and attempted to update the SuperUser binary to 3.0.6 through the SuperUser app. The update process failed, however, and left me without a working binary. The last 2 days I've been trying to get SuperUser back up using all sorts of things, such as flashing a .zip from the SuperUser website, pushing the contents myself, and using both SuperOneClick and FlashTool, but to no avail. I really need SuperUser because of the limited hard disk in the X8.
I was hoping someone knew of another way of fixing this problem.
Also, is restoring the stock ROM (which I'm using anyways) using PCC or SEUS an option to getting my phone fully unrooted so I can reroot it?
Thanks in advance, Thom

Yes, you can restore the stock ROM via SEUS or PCC, you can re-root later.
It happened to me on sunday when i update superuser, i was using gingercruzt... i lost the root access i was not able to restore all my apps with titanium backup! so, i reinstalled gingercruzt. luck!

For me updated su works fine. Just install and update binary.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

when i updated the binary, i lost the root access too...
is not necessary restore the original rom.
step1:
make a backup
step 2:
just download “su-3.0-bin-efgh-signed” and flash via CWM
step3:
enjoy again
step4:
remeber never again update the [email protected]%& binary

if it doesn't work, try other SU's like 3.0.1-bin

Hello, my firs post but not last . When I was root x8 15 days before, I installed xRecovery and link2sd, and another app. So, after I update superuser to 3.06, I lost root permissions. Now, there is no chance to access to xRecovery menu, with meny times clicking (I never didn't update android 2.1 to another version 2.2 or 2.3....).
Any help?

Does anybody know how to resolve this?? Please...

[Q] Apps crashing after update

I have a rooted Note.
And about 2 weeks ago I checked and found an update available to 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA4-CL886827 [email protected]#2 GINGERBREAD.XXLA4
I have seen a couple of interface changes, and overall it is nice...
Afterwards I did find that some of the apps stopped working:
gmail
Draw something.
I fixed it by updateing/ deleteing re-downloading them.. And it worked fine afterwards...
However my battery ran down and after I started up again the apps was once again broken
What I did notice is that some updates for apps I have already "applied" is once again available on the play store.
I am really looking forward to the ICS update and was planning to do a factory reset before that. However looking at the version I received (I really check regularly) this seems to be a "oldish" update Jan 2012. So I am not optimistic that even when it becomes available it will be available in South Africa.
What I want to know is if this a known issue? and is there a fix? Or would I just be advised to backup and bite the bullet and factory reset

If you upgraded your phone OTA, you lost your root, which explains the crashes!

I did do it OTA, however I still have root, Superuser still works and I installed Titanium backup and it also received su access.
I have check and found that applications installed after the upgrade seems to break after the reboot.
Should I will try to re-root the phone?

Just try if you could write on to /system folder. If you can't then re-root and check.
But if you have upgraded, the chances are that you may not be able to re-root with you current configuration, you will have to downgrade to a "rootable" ROM.
But never upgrade OTA when you are rooted, you will lose the root and will generally have issues.
But if you have root access, try wiping cache and see if that helps!

I cannot write to the /system folder, however I remember I had problems before the update already so not sure if it is a definitive proof. When using terminal emulator I can call "su" this is how it tested rooted previously.
I did try to re-root the phone with no success.
So how do I clear the cache???
Would it work if I reset to factory? What gets "cleared" when you do the reset?

All your apps and user data. Which include wifi settings, contacts, logs, etc
you cannot reroot with your configuration. you need to downgrade, root your phone and update via CWM, not OTA.

How Do I downgrade?? and what is CWM?

Here's a brief guide to downgrading and rooting I wrote a while ago:

Cyanogenmod 13 issues

I have the L90 I have rooted. I can flash CM12.1 no problem. When I flash CM 13 I get the following issues.
1. I can't update the Supersu binaries.
2. Can't flash supersu from TWRP. Just stalls at boot screen. Tried 2.52 & 2.66.
3. I can't uninstall any apps using Titanium backup. They uninstall & then just reappear.
4. Root explorer FC. Works on any other rom on this phone.
Any thoughts?
Pat

1. Known issue...it doesnt work on cm 13 .
2. Supersu you must flash from twrp to make it work fully... But it works on older builds 3. Make titanium backup as system app.
4. Try total commander...It's fully working.

Thanks for the info. Will there be a supersu that works or is it just the way it is? Which version would you recommend?
