[Q] After installing custom rom - Phone isn't rooted

Hey all, I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick, Was fine, restarted my phone all good. Then I decided to install a custom rom, That also worked all fine except now that I've installed it, my phone seems to not be rooted (I checked using root checker before installing rom and after, said it was rooted before, But now it says it's not rooted) What could be causing this? I've repaired it and started over 3 times with the same result. Could someone please shed some light? Thank you.

Try with other custom rom....maybe rom that you installed causing it

Some roms like, per exemple, HAKA's Original W8 Room aren't rooted!
Try another rom or, try rooting that rom

Oh ok, thanks for the reply, tried rerooting, it ended up going to not responding, I have access to system files, the su file is there, but I don't know about the other files that allow the device to be rooted. Is there some way I can copy and paste the rest of the su binary's? The ROM came with super user app so I just assumed it was rooted.

[Q] CM9 Alpha 1, no boot animation

After upgrading CM9 Alpha 0.6 to Alpha 1, the boot animation does not appear anymore. I tried to replaced the bootanimation.zip file with a fullscreen one, but it still does not show up.
I also did a 'fix permission' from ClockWorkMod, but no change.
Everything else works fine. I will upgrade to Alpha 2 this weekend, but I don't think it will make a difference.

I'm assuming you can still enter CM9. If that's the case the boot animation disable function has probably been checked.

two things that can cause this.
1. wrong folder
if the bootanimation.zip is not flashable, then you have to copy it either to /data/local OR /system/media
change the permissions to rw-r--r--. If the system/media is not doing anything try the other.
2. if you did turn bootanimation off in previous built then it's possible it stayed turned off when you switched to newer alpha. there is a fix (this is shamelessly copied from somebody else on Rootzwiki)
maybe you still have the setting on ("persist.sys.nobootanimation"):

Works like a charm, got back my boot animation with your trick !

Any other ideas on how you can fix this issue? I am running Alpha 2 and have tried to install this Bios Boot both manually (with ES File Explorer) and flashing it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21560233&postcount=1. The first time I tried to flash it, it failed. I think that may have messed something up.
I still get the black screen where the boot image used to be. I don't see the persist.sys.nobootanimation file when I go to /data/property.

I've had my verizon droid bionic rooted for a few months now on ICS using razors edge. Then I used Voodoo OTA root to temp unroot and updated to Jellybean. I restored root and everything was fine. So then I tried to install busy box after, but superuser wouldn't come up. So I deleted superuser and reinstalled it. Now Root checker says I don't have proper root access. (Also root browser still works fine) All other apps instead of having a su prompt they say I'm not rooted. Whats happening to my phone?

Try rebooting.

If rebooting it doesn't work, it might be because when installing the busybox something on the System side messed up. The only way to fix this would be to HOB with Data and the re-rooting the device. Everything which can be found through this link Here. If you don't run a Linux distro this can be ran off of a Live USB setup. You can make a simple one using a 4 or 8 gig USB thumb drive and make sure that you let it make some space for updates and adding files. I would keep this around just for the fact that you don't need any specific drivers to run on Linux like you need on Windows. There are treads that have instructions on using Windows to get this done, but I would say that Ubuntu would be the best way to accomplish anything. Best of Luck.

Would it brick if I flashed it using RSD Lite? Just wondering because I've done that before and am familiar with it. If not, yes I do have Windows, not Linux, so I can try the HOB.

I would stick with the HOB just to keep the data. The only route I have found that will successfully re root it is done with Linux. It can be done running Linux on a thumb drive as long as there was space created for updates.

If that doesn't work and you need restore it to JB, here are the relevant links:

[Q] Custom kernal/ROM - root "disappeared" after some time

Hello all,
Bit of background, I've been rooting phones since my old HTC Hero so I'm not a complete newb... but your help on this would be appreciated.
Got a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 some years ago, of course immediately rooted it and put on a ROM (non-stock, not CM). Anyhoo all things go well for several years. Late last year I put a new kernel and Asylum 4.4 ROM on it. Again all is pretty well, works as intended.
BUT
I tried to do something which required root the other day and things were not successful. Tried a few bits and pieces, fired up SuperSU app, informed me that root was out of date, flash a new one... tried that, but it failed.
Long story short, I've flashed new kernel/recovery (raw_kernel_r4_j43) and new ROM (4.4.2 SlimSaber), tried flashing SuperSU from recovery, tried FramaRoot... Flashing in recovery indicates success, but RootChecker still indicates that there is no root access. FramaRoot comes up with an error advising me to use the "build.prop" (maybe "local.prop"?) trick. Whatever I've tried is all to no avail. To be clear, the device works perfectly otherwise - boots up normally, runs apps without problem, etc. Developer menus and so on all available. Root access just doesn't stick, and whenever I try to do something that requires root access - change DPI for instance - the app just hangs.
Here's the log from RootChecker Pro:

No CSC folder in stock MM?

In other ROMs I've edited an XML file in /system/csc to make some changes to the keyboard -- specifically, to display alternate symbols when you press-hold a key. I flashed stock MM tonight and noticed that this folder no longer exists.
I checked the Maximum OvrDriVE MM ROM and it does have this folder with the appropriate file. So what happened to the CSC stuff in stock?

I've flashed the build a couple times now, same results. My procedure:
1. Ensure SuperSU zip is on external SD card
2. Boot TWRP recovery (currently 3.0.2 installed)
3. Wipe every partition except external SD
4. Boot the phone into download mode
5. Odin (3.0.9) the ROM to the phone
6. Odin TWRP back to the phone
7. Boot TWRP recovery
8. Flash SuperSU zip
9. Reboot and let settle for 15 minutes

And a little bit of searching on /system and /data doesn't reveal anything much:

/system/lib/libcontrolcsc.so

And this zero-byte file seems odd:
Code:

I've flashed the build a couple times now, same results. My procedure:
1. Ensure SuperSU zip is on external SD card
2. Boot TWRP recovery (currently 3.0.2 installed)
3. Wipe every partition except external SD
4. Boot the phone into download mode
5. Odin (3.0.9) the ROM to the phone
6. Odin TWRP back to the phone
7. Boot TWRP recovery
8. Flash SuperSU zip
9. Reboot and let settle for 15 minutes

Don't know if it would make any difference but you should be using Odin 3.11.1 with this latest EPG2 firmware. CSC related files reside in cache.img.ext4 , so it is possible that that particular file is not being flashed in your case.

Hm, you might very well have discovered the cause.
Examining the cache.img.ext4 file on my PC:
Code:
[email protected] ~/junk $ [B]simg2img cache.img.ext4 cache.raw[/B]
[email protected] ~/junk $ [B]sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop cache.raw /mnt[/B]

I'm surprised the phone even works!

Hm, experiencing flash write failures. First time was about 15% finished. Second time seems about 95% finished.

Third flash completed. Before rebooting, I flashed TWRP. Then I booted TWRP and installed SuperSU. Booted normally and received the dreaded ddi: mmc_read failed message. Crap. Tried another flashing round, which also completed, and let it boot immediately. The Samsung recovery started (which I have never actually seen before) and ran through an installation cycle of something. After that, the phone booted and once again shows ddi:mmc_read failed. Is this thing kaput now?
----------
EDIT: I power cycled the phone and now it appears to be doing a normal first boot -- I'm staring at the T-Mobile splash and the status light is flickering blue/cyan. Wow!

Did you use the latest version of ODIN now? Also if the phone looks stuck on T-Mobile logo for longer than 30 mins, then remove the battery from the phone and try to boot again.

Yep, Odin 3.11.1 worked, but like I wrote before, it took three attempts. Weird.
BTW, not everyone agrees that the version of Odin was the actual problem:

Worked like a charm. Now I have wifi calling and secondary characters on my keyboard again!

You'll also notice that Bluetooth tethering is gone. T-Mobile likes to disable that for some reason. I imagine that buried in one of the CSC files is a line you could delete to restore Bluetooth tethering.
