Lost root, can't use nandroid, please help!

Okay, I'm not sure anymore what I did but I was using rom manager to wipe data/cache then flash a new rom, purehero for today, like normal but I got some weird error and all I could do really was reboot. I'm not sure why but when it did reboot I was all the way back to official 2.1 with no root. Now I'm stuck without root and with clockwork recovery that I can't flash my nandroid from? Any ideas on how I can either just revert back to the stock recovery so I can flash my nandroid or other ideas? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you "lost root"? You can't boot into the recovery menu at all? If you lost root, I would suggest going through the root process for 2.1. Without root, you're pretty much screwed.

If you are back to official stock 2.1, why not just go through the rooting process again from the beginning?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
But instead of pushing that included recovery.img to your phone (#4 in Step 9), perhaps you could push your Clockwork recovery image instead? I see no reason why that wouldn't work, but I haven't actually tried it myself so good luck.

Here's the thing, no Su app in drawer, terminal emulator says access denied if I type Su. Also my computer us down so whatever I do must be done directly from my phone. Now my phone is laggy as hell so I either need a way to swap recoveries as is so I can nandroid, it basically a way to run the stock ruu using only the phone. Any ideas?

RUU to the .5 version. Then root. Then do whatever you want.

Ginger-Root Resource Thread: How-To + Issues + Fixes

Ok so I have successfully rooted my phone after updating to Gingerbread. However, I had a few issues and had to read through a bunch of different posts to get there. So I'm bored and decided to consolidate everything into one.
If anyone has any other issues or fixes post them here and I will update the OP.
Credit goes to mtmichaelson and all those who helped get this working
http://androidinvasion.us/forum/index.php/topic,77.0.html
Here it is:
1. ROOT PROCESS
A. Get back to Stock:
-download the stock Zv4 ROM zip from here and put it on your external SD card- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326893
-Back up all your apps in titanium (important: USER apps only, no data or system apps)
NOTE: It has been reported that restoring apps and data in titanium may cause some issues coming from Froyo to Gingerbread. I backed up my user apps only for easy re-install and NO data or system apps. It worked without a problem.
-MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 4G ENABLED
-boot into recovery (CWM)
-backup?
-factory reset
-select "install ZIP from SD card" in CWM, and install the stock ZIP from the link
-re-bootyour phone (you will have to re-activate it as well)
-install revo toolkit from here if it was wiped with the system reset - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144951
-press "install recovery" and then !!!Revo Stock!!! to go back to stock recovery and wait for it to complete
B. Update to Zv6 then Zv7 (Gingerbread)
-manually search for the update and install it (this will install the v6 update)
-once that installs, manually search again to install the gingerbread update
NOTE: Some people still can't get gingerbread. Verizon has not finished rolling the update out to everyone yet.
Now here is where it gets a little dicey...
C. Rooting Your Gingerbread Phone
-pick up the rooting package from mtmichaelson here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326509
-follow the instructions he has on that page to obtain root
-Two issues arose for me from this point on.
2. ISSUES
A. Drivers Issue
-The first issue was that some people, including myself, couldn't download the esteem drivers.
-Some people were able to get the drivers from this page to work - http://androidnerds.net/2011/10/08/lg-esteem-oneclickroot-now-ready/.
-I was not able to get my computer to recognize my phone using the above drivers either. I would run the root command from the downloaded package and it would get stuck at "running daemon something something".
-What I did was manually uninstall the LG drivers from my computer and deleted everything "LG related"
-Then I got the drivers from the LG website at this link - http://www.lgforum.com/resources
-Scroll down to the Verizon section and download the "LG_VZW_UNITED..." drivers.
-Your phone should be recognized using the drivers from one of these links.
B. Superuser/Root access Issue - NOTE: this should be fixed now with mtmichaelson's newest root method found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326509
-The second issue that came up was that the previous superuser app I had installed stayed on my phone after the updates, even though I lost root.
-The root command from the LG Esteem page would think I had root, but I actually didn't get root access.
-Apparently this issue came up on the Esteem previously and someone wrote a fix for it here - http://androidforums.com/esteem-all...-w-superuser-3-0-6-binary-3-0-3-download.html. It will uninstall the old superuser and install the new version.
3. INSTALL CWM RECOVERY
-mtmichaelson's new rooting package should automatically install CWM recovery on your phone now.
Old method:
-To get CWM back on your phone it's the same process as before the update. Get the Revo Toolkit from thecubed here and follow the instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144951
-There is sometimes an issue where the recovery does not install correctly and gives a fatal error. If this happened, make sure you have version 1.17.1 of busybox installed at system/bin. This worked for me and I got it installed correctly.
...And you should have root after trying a combination of the above. Hope this helped.
-If you have READ through this and still have any issues you can get more personalized help on the IRC channel here.
-Again I did not help with any of this, I'm just consolidating info. If you want to thank someone, thank mtmichaelson and everyone else who helped figure all this out.
-I will keep updating this as new issues arise.

Thank you for compiling this information, it is a useful reference for people to have. I know that the drivers issue took me quite a while to work out even though it is pretty simple. Hopefully this helps others to get rooted with much less trouble.

Quick question using that stock ROM will it completely unroot me?
Also a bit confused with me running revolt does that mess up me just flashing that and it has the stock boot image.
I've Revolted have you?? Sent via tapatalk plugin.

You need to use Revo toolkit to get cwm off and the stock recovery back on. from there it will run fine. Then you just have to reroot using MT's modified rooting .bat file

Go into revotoolkit, Click install clockwork recovery, it should pop up to choose !!revo_stock!! or 4.0.0.2. Choose the revo stock. After it runs, click to check which recovery is installed and make sure it says revo stock, then reboot.

It depends on you connection speed. If it's 3g a while. I recommend doing it on 4g or wireless. You also need busybox installed in the right location. Install the version 1.17.1 in system/bin. The newer versions of busybox may work now but they previously did not.

It looks like it's a common problem. I haven't installed the ROM yet but mt's new gingervolt rom is supposed to make CWM stick - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326542

Ok so I'm a complete and utter noob when it comes to CWM etc. Never had an android device before this one, never flashed a ROM.
I've got a pretty good grasp of whats going to be happening here, but I'm a little skiddish.
I'm on stock GB with root, at the point where i'm supposed to install CWM with the RevoToolkit. In the RevoToolkit instructions, thecubed says "If no version is listed, STOP and post here.". Well, no version is listed, presumable because i'm on a GB stock recovery. Do I stop here, or do I proceed with installing clockwork recovery?
Specifically, RevoToolkit reports "Version Not Found".
Advice?

I had the same thing I got all pissed and thought I was screwed then someone mentioned the GB thing. You'll be fine if you flash cwm. Just flash cwm, boot into it, make a backup in cwm, flash gingervolt, and reboot. everything will work fine

Awesome, thank you for the quick reply. Another stupid question that i'm sure is answered somewhere on here, but what exactly will I lose when flashing a ROM, and what will I be able to restore back with a backup?

can't update . . . help!!

So my apologies if this has been covered, have seen similar things but not quite the same . . .
been running decrapped. (was on revolt 1.0 or 1.1 a while back, but went back to decrapped.)
so . . . restored my original v4 backup from june, system and boot. wiped data.
and now it won't update! when i go to settings --> about phone --> update --> check for new, it downloads, but when the phone reboots itself, it says update failed, and i'm still on v4. tried it a few times.
also, lost clockwork . . . tried to reboot into clockwork, and when i said "yes, wipe data and return to factory settings", it didn't go into clockwork, but actually wiped data and returned to factory settings.
what am i doing wrong??!!
thanks!

Sounds like you need to download the revo stock you need to make sure everything is back to normal for some reason even if the boot.img. is different it won't update

First off, thanks for all the work you have been doing!
I have used LGNPST to first goto V6 with no luck, so I then used LGNPST to get to V4. I was unable to get the update with either one of these installed.
I then rooted and used your CWM zip posted earlier today, rebooted and used your RevoToolKit to reinstall the stock boot image. I even went so far to uninstall RevoToolKit after putting the stock image back on the phone thinking LG could tell I had it??
No matter what I do, when I choose "Software Update" "Check for New Updates" it still says nothing is available...
...Maybe I should get the original Moto Razr flip phone back out of my closet...

You want to make sure you uninstall CWM and revert back to the stock boot before you run the update from Verizon.

Is using RevoToolKit and installing the "!!!REVO STOCK!!!" the same as your reference of the "stock boot?"
Maybe I am making the assumption than the RevoToolKit's, "Revo Stock" image is correct, when in fact I should just leave the stock image that comes with LGNPST???

I did NOT use adb, and used CWM to restore the nandroid backup. SO either option apparently yields same results.
Maybe this issue stems back to the first day and first root of the phone and doing something different. I would assume using LGNPST would get the phone to its truly stock form though... ?

I skipped flashing your revo stock zip, assuming my original back up would be good enough, but apparently I was wrong.
Looking forward to gingervolt!!

When you use the RevoToolKit to flash the stock boot image, you are replacing (removing) the CWM recovery. It is all one step essentially.
The instructions to 'remove CWM and reinstall stock' are actually 1 step.

right. that's where i got confused, never having used revotoolkit!
you hit "install clockwork recovery" at the bottom right, choose !!RevoStock!!, and reboot. this will both install the stock recovery and delete cwm.
I couldn't update to v6, either. but following mt's instructions worked. it's essentially what i had tried previously, though i had restored my own backup of v4 rather than flash the zip mt posted earlier; flashing the zip made the difference.

[Q] Bootstrap Question and Issues

Let me try to explain my situation...
I was on 5.5.893 with root and Bootstrap recovery installed. Rom manager was also installed later and used that to flasha newer CW recovery. Everything was working. I could make backups of my rom when needed (stock ROM).
Then the .902 OTA came out and I could not flash it. At some point I had modified the framework_res.apk so no OTA would flash.
So.. I used RSDLite to flash everything back to stock 5.5.893. Then rooted. Then installed bootstrap (the free one.. not from the market, but from koush's site). The pressed reboot recovery. I was stuck at the Motorola logo... bootlooping! yay..
So.. since I didnt want to mess with troubleshooting it too much, I used RSDLite again to install 5.5.893. Then rooted/forever root again. Then flashed the official OTA that I saved off my phone through stock recovery.
I'm now on the official .902 with root.Back on the upgrade path!
My question is... what do I need to do to get CW recovery back on this thing? I really don't want to have to FXZ this thing again. Also.. when I use RSDLite to flash the phone, does that completely remove any trace of bootstrap or any custom recovery? Or is that part of the phone left alone during a flash? Does that even make sense?
Ultimately, I want to get safestrap installed so I can try out the ICS roms out there since they have everything working now!

Nobody? I know I went into some detail that I probably didnt have to, but I thought the question was simple enough.

Download safe strap apk it is in my guide the link since your rooted already open app select install or whatever once your done reboot etc... its all in my guide just do everything past the motofail root method....

[Q] My Bionic always boots to 'Bad Flash' screen

I flashed it back to stock 902 a few weeks ago. For some reason, it comes up to the "Bad Flash" screen every time I turn it on. I have to turn it of, hold down both volume buttons, turn it back on, and then choose "normal boot". It's fine after that. Is there an easy way to clear this? I'm currently running SafeStrap as my recovery.

Flashing any .img sucessfully should clear the error.

Yeah, for some reason, the area does not clear. I updated to Spearmint Gummy ICS thinking it would clear the error, but no such luck.

Did you have any errors when flashing to 902?

I did. At the time, my storage was pretty full. That's when I got the error to begin with. I cleaned some space up and then did it again and it succeeded. I still get the "bad flash" screen with each boot though.

I would try flashing again. Your using rsd lite 5.6 with it right?
Sent from my Eclipsed Bionic

The data wipe and factory reset is not going to change the flash failure error you are receiving. You need to successfully flash an image before it will go away. You can do this with RSDlite 5.6 or moto-fastboot the specific images.
I can help you in more detail, if needed.
Here is a good place to download the full 902 fxz...http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-bionic-hacks/202176-detailed-safestrap-instructions.html
Send me a PM if you need more help.

eye_dea is correct. Just flash any image with moto-fastboot will clear the flash failure and let you boot normally.

I had the same issue on my bionic. It said flash failure and nothing I could do would fix it. Finally I found a thread that said to try "FixCDT". I put the FixCDT file in my ADB folder and ran it. Instantly it rebooted my phone normal. I am not sure where the thread was, but just google FixCDT and I am sure you can find it. If that doesn't work sorry.
