Hi there,
A week ago I handed over my Nexus One to a relative so he could install gingerbread for me. He couldn't install it, and now I have an unlocked, semi-working phone (yeah, I'm not happy). I'll list the details below and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction of how to fix things myself.
- Recovery mode won't boot. The screen freezes on the multi-coloured cross.
- Wifi won't work. I get 'Error' everytime I try and activate it.
The build number is FRG83D, android v 2.2.1
Theres an applicaiton installed called 'superuser' with a pirate android icon
I've wiped everything several times, still doesn't work, and the superuser app is still there.
and PS, I'm using a mac.
I'm told theres some problem with the permissions and updates can't be installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even just a hard reset to reinstall the base operating system would be great. Just want a working phone again! cheers
Do you have root access (open a terminal emulator app and type "su". If the $ prompt changes to #, then you have root access)?
What recovery do you use? AmonRa or Clockwork?
Your best option (if you can get into the bootloader), would be to follow the unroot/restore guide in the wiki.
If you have root access, you could install ROM Manager, flash a recovery, and then use that to do whatever (probably install a fresh ROM).
I purchased att tab one week again, rooted using superoneclick and flashed to overcome 2.3.3 as instructed, everything works out fine.
Soon after I installed Titantium backup root, it showed "not rooted access", and I tried other apps (root explorer, tweeks), same message happens, and z4root superoneclick fail to do the magic this time.
Also, I tried to flash cf-root 2.3.3 JQ1 to root this tab, still no luck.
Just want to know how to root my tab? searched the board, could not find solution, any suggestion is appreciated.
My tab information:
baseband 19000ugjk3
pda: P1000xxjq1
phone: 19000ugjk3
csc: P1000Oxajq1
When you go to the app list do you see Superuser?? If I recall correctly, all you had to do is flash the gb stock safe in odin, and that should have given u all the root you needed.
Yes, I can see superuser in app list, and having no problem opening it.
So how can I do this, restocking GB-safe, can you provide more detailed steps, thanks very very much, I desperately need to unlock this tab.
ok when u open superuser can you click on log and see if superuser is denying your apps or if you maybe unknowingly denied them superuse access? The easiest way I can think of it to redo it again. download the gingerbread stock safe on the overcome website in my sig, backup all and i mean all your apps you care about, texts whatever it is. then download odin 1.7. Follow the overcome guide and you should be fine. Once your done your tab should already have superuser. Download and install the overcome RC1 full and flash that threw recovery.. following the guide again. you should be good to go. Hopefully your titanium backups are on external sd card
thanks, I checked the log, no denying of any applications, I will try to re-flashing once again, and see what happens. The only confusion I am having is that flashing overcome Rom requires a rooted system, since my current system is not completely rooted, is it ok? will this procedure brick my tab?
Again, thanks!
restocking shouldnt brick your tab, just clear your system and start fresh. But if your worried about bricking, make sure you are using a computer that wont just turn off in the middle of the flashing process or kids running around knocking your tab off the connector while flashing. If for some reason odin is not successful, just clear odin and try again without disconecting anything. Hope this helps
restocking ROM, seems everything is ok, thanks again,
But I could not find a version of root explorer working in this version,
it keeps shutting down saying "xx stop working", wired!
busybox
have you tried to re-install busybox?
when you open Ti Backup, click the problems button on the bottom. This will usually prompt you to update busybox. Just yes to whatever it says and wait for the application to restart.
Hit thanks if I helped!
I updated busybox through ti as suggested.
Reinstall root explorer 2.12.4, once opened, granted root access, still no luck, "sorry, the application root explorer (process com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer) has stopped unexpectedly, please try again.
really bothers me right now, any alternative app for the same function?

Why not update root explorer from the market? seeing as the latest version is 2.15?
updated to root explorer 2.15, problem solved!
Thanks a lot, guys!
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
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/
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...

Successfully rooted on official stockROM (318D) using snakebitzz instructions (thanks)
I want to know how to remove the official stockrom Bloatwares (blueberry messenger etc.) from my rooted device. I have read that you can use Titanium Backup. I tried but it only reboots to official stock rom recovery logo (Small android logo next to a triangle with exclamation mark in it), stays on & on and nothing else happens.
Thanks

I used Root Uninstaller PRO and another program called Root Uninstall, I was able to delete most of the bloatwares except CSL Fun Club and Blueberry Store. These give an error Cannot Uninstall. Any Ideas.
Did root explorer clean this up ? Can you give me a download link to this root explorer ?
Was able to successfully Delete (Not Uninstall) the APK files of CSL fun Club and Blueberry store using Root Explorer ! Hope this is the right way ! Now I do not have any of the 'extra fittings' from GB update. Hope somebody can post a list or point to a link in the forum of these Extra Fitting to be removed !
cheers

Observed something today, I installed Rom Toolbox, it asked for Superuser persmission and when I clicked on allowed, it popped a message saying that busybox is not installed.
What is this and why is it coming. I did not see this problem with any other root applications.
I am on CWM and using used su-2.3.6.3-efgh zip file to root.
Also font change via ROM toolbox is not getting effected, I had no problems while on RC2 update.

I use ROM Toolbox to change system fonts. I am presently on Stock 2.3 rooted. While running Rom Toolbox for the first time this error popped up. I have not seen this before on RC2 / CM7 updates.
I also tried installing the Busybox Installer from market and the latest Busy box update, however it makes the phone hang at boot logo.

Hi,
Thanks everybody for your replys. I could fix the problem by upgrading my SuperUser app.
In su app, i was getting a notification that su binary is out of date and when i used to hit the option to update the su binary from SU app settings, it used to fail.
The thing I did was to install SU again from Market and it worked.
Though i am not sure what exactly the problem was.
