I used the ROM Manager app to update to 2.2froyo from a ere27 firmware with super user 2.0.3 and kept root access. I was wondering if anyone else had the same result?
I flashed the ROM Paul gave us and yes, it kept root access. So far all programs requiring root access have worked except for Titanium Backup which says it cannot find it.
just hit problems and download busybox then it will work.
Paul's rom had the added root access, you didn't really "keep" it.
Thanks for clearing that up...in the ROM Manager it was noted as Nexus One FRF50 Unrooted, Odexed. Which was why i was suprised to see the little ninja.

//EDIT: Please delete this thread. Titanium Backup installed BusyBox for me after I clicked the "Problem?" button. Sorry!
**Skip to the other asterisked line to skip the long story**
Last night I decided "(vulgarity here) AT&T!" and decided to load FroYo myself.
After reading for hours (on top of reading I've been doing for a few weeks) it seemed it was easier to root on 2.1, then update to 2.2.
I rooted, then installed 2.2 only to find out I was no longer rooted when I tried restoring my apps with MyBackup Pro. After tons of searching and trying 3 "one click" style rooting programs, many times over, the SuperOneClick method worked, only after I did the shell root, and then root button.
Awesome! I had a rooted 2.2 captivate! Restoring my apps with MyBackup Pro let me knew it worked, and then I was also able to install a non-market foreign language pack for the AnySoftKeyboard app. I also installed the MarketAccess app and I'm running the T-Mobile US code, so I'm pretty sure I've got root.
Tonight I wanted to get rid of all the AT&T garbage still on the phone, and a guide I found told me that Titanium Backup would allow me to do so (still not sure if it can all be done from the phone though). I downloaded and installed Titanium Backup, opened it up, clicked the button to allow SuperUser, but I get an error message:
Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work ! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again.
Pretty sure I'm rooted, I am assuming I only require BusyBox be on the phone?
**I was under the impression that rooting and BusyBox was the same thing, or went hand-in-hand, one needing the other.
After now 4 more hours of searching, I can't seem to find a guide that only installs BusyBox, and I'm hesitant to try any of the Root and BusyBox in one methods for fear of the root not working and potentially messing something up.
I found one posting that requires a bunch of commands, but I have no idea where to do them from/in or what to do with the phone.
If anybody could link me to or tell me how to install BusyBox that would be awesome! I am rooted on FroYo. I have the drivers installed. I have DroidExplorer installed. Not sure of anything else that may have come in the .zip files I downloaded that might be installed, so assume only the drivers and DroidExplorer and installed.
Thanks in advanced!!
Busybox is an app on the market, download, open app, install, profit

Hi guys,
I just went into system apps, via Solid Explorer to grab an apk to put on my dev-host, when I got an error saying that I don't have root access.
I tried accessing other files in system root to get the same error. So I downloaded Root Checker and for some reason that's also saying that I don't have root access.
I know for a fact I have though as I've just been using root only features in ROM Toolbox Pro without an issue.
Any ideas as to why it's saying I don't have root access when I clearly do?
I'm on stock 4.2.2 and used the rooting tools in mike1986.'s thread to root once I'd flashed the stock ROM.

I downloaded the deodexed version which had superuser installed by using the rooting tools.
I flashed it a few days ago and have had no issues with being rooted until now. As I say, I'm still rooted but my phone's telling me I'm not and I'm not sure why.

It already had the permissions from when I first installed solid explorer.
I just found out what my problem was. Superuser was installed by default and I downloaded SuperSU afterwards and must've disabled superuser and therefore was getting partial unroot issues.
I've now uninstalled superuser and I've got full access back

Previously, I installed Cyanogenmod (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=RC&device=mb886), and still had root access, but there was an issue with the baseband.
So I just installed HoloBlur (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356624), fixed the baseband (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233871) and now it seems that I do not have full root access and Superuser binaries will not update.
First, I downloaded the superuser binaries and zip files to try and update them that way (http://androidsu.com/superuser/)
But that didn't work so I downloaded and used this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su.fixer&hl=en), which crashed after trying to gain root access. No superuser options show up in settings, and Superuser wants to crash. I have tried superuser from Chainfire and Koush. Neither can update binaries, and the version by Koush wants to crash. I assumed I didn't have root access.
I have tried using motochopper again (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227938)
and I have tried using Myth Tools again (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262726) (basically another motochopper...)
Neither have worked.
So:
How do I gain root access again if none of the above methods work? Is it possible?
Yes, bootloader is still unlocked, and CWM is still installed. Just, no root access.
Flashing superuser.zip should work. That is what I did when I installed holoblur. I would need to find the link though

That fixed it. Sorta.
Went back into CWM recovery, selected to install from zip, and installed the zip from here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
This was the one that worked:
(3.2-RC3)
md5: 6462ac14cd38ed7c539ce3e29a6b92a8
Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
Apps are now gaining superuser/root access but it doesn't seem to be working like the normal superuser.
The default superuser apps still aren't working.
I'll have to check up on it more when I get back from classes.
Oddly enough, the chainfire superuser app now installs correctly.
For some odd reason, it requested access from the first one installed. Either way, it's working, and it seems as if all the apps that need root access are getting it. I don't see any special Superuser settings in the menus, but I'm guessing that's just a feature i've been seeing in all the roms.
Long story short: Problem solved
Hope this topic helps anyone who has similar issues.
Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue - I wasn't able to flash the newest extracted firmware in the development section so I went ahead and just ran the full RUU. I've been running custom roms for years and I decided that maybe I just wanted to run stock rooted for a while so I unlocked my bootloader again, flashed the most recent TWRP and installed the most recent SuperSU zip.
Unfortunately it does not seem to have rooted my phone. SuperSU is indeed installed in the system folder and it prompts for root permission when I use root apps, but even when I grant permission the apps cannot obtain root access. What happens is it looks like they are going to get root access, the phone slows down a bit for a second, and then I get an error message from the app in question saying that either my phone isn't rooted or that root permission has been denied. If I open SuperSU, it lists all of my root apps with the green hashtag indicating that permission is granted.
Am I correct in assuming that installing SuperSU did not root my phone? If so, is there a way to root without installing a custom rom?
For clarification, this is all on the most recent RUU, software version 6.23.651..10, Lollipop 5.0.2
Thanks in advance.
Which version of SuperSU are you flashing?

Well I'm a dolt, I was using v1.69 but now I see that is a very old version. Going to try 2.46 right now, thanks.
Edit: Same issue on 2.46 :/
For anyone still looking at this thread, I was able to achieve root by flashing the newest SuperSU, version 2.52 which is actually still in beta and therefore not offered if you go to the main portion of the SuperSU website.
SuperSU v2.65 is the current stable offering
just updated kingroot and ran it, got root! I couldn't beleave it. checked titanium back up, root was there.
checked root explorer, root was there.
downloaded root checker pro and again root was confirmed!
installed busybox, all good. and super user, couldn't update the binary? (looks like kingroot has its own version of SU and doesn't need anything else)
when I reboot, I lost root, and ran kingroot again, took 3 times to root, but did it. checked everything again, all showed root.
I was able to run TB and backup my apps. I also uninstalled some bloatware.
but every time I reboot, it losses root, and have to run kingroot again.
how can I retain root? but there should be some way to retain the root? I'm guessing it has something to do with where the su files were installed.......Anyone?
how can I install TWRP? OK so I can't install TWRP cause the bootloader is still locked (duhh!)
any help greatly appreciated!
thanks
has anyone else with ATT version been able to rootn with the newest kingroot 4.8.1 ?
could the root files be in the wrong location?
Had same issue with sm-t810, had root, was able to install adaway, but couldnt remove bloatware. Lost root after reboot (crash) of system
hi, can anyone upload kingroot 4.8?
thanks in advance
