Superuser force closes everytime - Motorola Droid 4

Trying to install safestrap so I can upgrade from my current .215 to .217. My phone was not rooted so I first ran the root utility from Fishbear and the app said it was successful in applying root. I downloaded superuser from the market, but it forecloses every time I open it. I tried clearing the data cache and also using the superuser update utility; didn't work. I re-ran Fishbear's root script and it exited with the confirmation that my device was already rooted, with super user version 3.0.3.2.
Any suggestions?

I tried migrating from .215 to .217 and the data partition was incompatible so I had a whole bunch of weird errors. I don't recommend doing a safestrap backup / restore for that version. Just wipe your data and fastboot .217. It will be a pain to upgrade but yuo will not regret it later.

Cool, thanks for the advice, but I'd rather have a deodexed/bloat removed ROM. I actually just restored my phone to defaults through the stock recovery menu and was able to get super user to work. From there I installed busybox and safestrap and got me some .217!

"Install Failed" when booting into CWM?

So I had alot of issues rooting but im finally in, all rooted. Downloaded ROM Manager from the market and installed CWM. Says its successful, but when I manually reboot into CWM i get a error, so I cant install the 1.1 fix
Any ideas?
Really no one knows? This sucks!
This normally happens when recovery is not flashed properly. Did you try flashing again via Rom Manager? Also when you flash, does the screen show something like "Rom Manager has been granted super user permissions"?
ya, it flashes successfully through rom manager....
I think the problem is when I was trying to go back to 1.0.1 I flashed a restore through CWM. Then I whiped the /system and /data folders. The directions said to do this but I didnt realize I was supposed to do this BEFORE flashing not after. Basically I had no restore partition left so when I went and let it fail to boot 8x i got a error, and i had no OS. I ended up doing the N/Pwr, it restored, then i got a bootable CWM, booted into it and flashed the 1.0.1. But not everything seems, odd.
I can go into Rom Manager and install CWM fine, it says installation successful. But if I reboot into recovery, I get the error. I really need this fixed but im thinking it may be easier to just use a bootable CWM. Any ideas? I need to get 1.1 on here before I lose root

I fixed this by downloading the latest busybox from the market, installed it, then ran the "fix permissions" from Rom Manager. I then reinstalled the latest CWM, and it would allow me to reboot into recovery.

[Q] Boot stops in outlined "nook col"

Last night I was lurking in market and I realized there was some updates pending to apply including Superuser but I don't remember the other 3... there was a little bit strange because wasn't in another color like normal pending updates, so I enter in tne app page, push "update" button and the push "ok" button, this for every one...
Updates was downloaded but when was applying suddenly the nook reboot... well, try to reboot, but something goes wrong... boot starts ok, but when came to the outlined white "nook" and outlined raindow "color" stops drawing the "l", and reboot again and again.
Well, today I make a 2GB SD with ClockWorkMod 3.2.0.1, manualnooter-4-5-18.zip and manualnooter-4-6-16.zip like last time... first I apply MN4.5.18, but when reboot happens the same thing... then I apply MN4.6.16 and the same thing happens...
So, anybody figured has idea what is going wrong and what I have to do to fixit???
Thanks a lot

Same issue - flash zip fix didn't work for me
fealuin, did the flash zip work for you?
I got the flash update today, rebooted and hit the same problem where it's looping on the colo... Before I read this thread I tried reapplying the copies of manualnooter 4.5.18 & 4.6.16 I had with no luck.
I've tried the flash zip, reapplying the manualnooters, clearing cache & davlik cache, but apart from taking longer on the initial boot before looping, it keeps doing the same thing.
I had just installed and run nsr (nook screen recalibrate), which automatically rebooted, but I don't know if that could be an additional cause.
At this rate I'm close to wiping and starting from scratch, but I'd welcome any suggestions. About to go on vacation, and I was in the middle of a book...
Thanks.
Same thing happened to me when I uninstalled ad free and tried a new app of the same likeness. Had to flash to a backup

My nook color is underpower... I just put it to charge but the original cable is damaged, so I use a standard cable to charging and is pretty much slow than original cable...
I hope in about 1 hour have enough charge... I will be reporting
Well... it works... market return to an old version so I reapply mn 4.6.18... all looks like work fine
Sent from my NOOKcolor using XDA App
this is exactly what just happened to me. flash update didn't work either.
Today by mistake i updated adobe flash player to version 11, since then it stuck in boot looping, i tried to flash the zip file many a times but no success. it still in boot loop. please let us know is there other way to delete the flash player except adb as it dose not work for me.
Flash shouldn't have anything to do with booting up. How exactly did you update it, the market, adb?
+1 here. Tried flash fix zip, and recovery fix zip,...nada. I had the updates hit last night, borked my nook, and today I'm attempting a cure. Just about ready to revert to stock and start again.
Anybody found anything yet?
I have no problem with updating or using Flash 11.
Maybe I'm lucky.

Not sure if you can fix it if its already doing the boot loop, but I was able to prevent it from happening by using the instructions posted. Uninstall flash and air with titanium backup and then load the flash.zip with cwm and you should be able to then update flash through the market without boot looping. To get the market working, I did a data wipe of the market app using titanium backup.

I have the same problem. Stock rooted. Updated superuser, noticed I had an update to abobe air installed. When I rebooted I got stuck in this loop.
I tried flash fix, but it did nothing.
so is the only fix to wipe and re-install everything?

That's what I had to do the first time it auto updated flash as I couldn't figure it out (and the flash fix wasn't out). I made sure to turn off auto updated for flash after that and I installed Titanium Backup so I wouldn't have to remember all the apps I wanted. I managed to get the new market working by data wiping the market app, but this turned on auto updating again. Luckily, now there is a way to avoid the bootloop if it auto installs flash. You just have to make sure to remove the updated flash and air using titanium BEFORE you reboot, or you'll get stuck in the bootloop again. I know, that doesn't help you now, but once you run the fix, you should be able to safely update flash. If it happens again, you'll have titanium backup so it'll be easy to restore. As I have all of the root and flash fix files loaded on my SD card along with CWM, I could restore my nook to it's current state in about 10 minutes if it were to get stuck again, but hopefully that won't happen.
I had the same problem. I even flash with stock 1.1 and it did not work. Somehow I think I get rid of ROM manager after that and I can restore to stock 1.2 after 8 un-successful reboot.
repair path?
so in order to fix this issue I must
1. in CWM wipe all and re-flash stock 1.2
2. update to 1.3,
3. run MN 4.5.18 and then 4.6.16a
4. download TB from market
5. uninstall Adobe Flash and Adobe AIR
6. Flash "Adobe Fix"
7. RE-install Adobe Flash and AIR
Is this the way to go?

Thats what worked for me, though my sequence may have been a little different (I updated to 1.3 with an already rooted 1.2).

SuperSu or Apps with root Access freeze sometimes

The App SuperSu or Apps with root Access freezes sometimes, not allways, you can start these App´s 5 to 10 times without Problems and next start the app freeze at that point normaly notification for root acces is shown. The only way is to kill the app and start again, mostly the app starts then, sometimes it freezes 2 or 3 times in a row.
I have re-rooted about 5 times or more, i have updated SuperSu and su Binary, i changed to superuser (uninstalled SuperSu before), reflashed the firmware (Euro Open V10h) and wiped it before and after reflashing. Nothing helps...
Even after reflashing and wiping, the first boot after rooting, the app freezes, nothing further installed (i think)...
Does anyone have the same problem or any idea! Thanks in advance...

It would be very nice to know where are you from... your phone official latest firmware is V10H?
If it is, downgrade to V10A, factory reset, upgrade using "web upgrade", root (using IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed, if possible) and factory reset. Update SuperSU binary, install SuperSU Pro, upgrade SuperSU in GooglePlay.
Should be enought, its the most radical that I know.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:
I´m from Germany. The Firmware is the latest offical V10h (Euro Open / DBT, i´ve done a file compare, it´s the same).
I´ve done some test´s a few days ago, one of them (install of busybox 1.20.2) let the phone stuck on boot. I tried many things, wiped and flashed KDZ new. After that i want to use my CWM (Nandroid) Backup, so I installed the recovery again (but version 1.1 from my PC, not the actual version 1.2) and i cant restore because of issue "cannot mount system" (issue of version 1.1). So i tried again with adb and finally i did a mistake and mount system manually. The restore first format "/system" but cannot mount it afterwards. So the restore killed my system, there was no Firmware on Phone at all.
I found the software upgrade mode and reflashed the actual Firmware V10h.
So I think there cant be anything "old" on the phone because the wipe killed /data and /cache and the failure with recovery killed /system. The reflash installed the brand new V10h and after rooting and install of recovery (this time version 1.2) I have had the problem with SuperSu / Apps with root already again...
I could try the reflash to V10a and then Webupgrade, but I dont think it will help, cause as I wrote, there were no more old things on phone when I installed the official V10h, so it should be the same...
Thanks for your help!

I still advice you to downgrade, FACTORY RESET, web upgrade to latest (V10H), root and factory reset.
Factory reset will re-install factory settings based on the files that you have (some kind of "rescue system files") if they're messed, version mixed or corrupted somehow, the problem will remain.
Downgrade will install the oldest, basic and fisrt files files known (apart of dev files V09x). Factory reset will delete all newer files.
Upgrade will reinstall the new files overwritting the old ones from V10A.
The system files should be clean and without corrupted or version mixed files after this procedure.
Good luck on that

Ok, I have done all this, a lot of work (save internal SD-Card, save Nandroid Backup, installed V10a, reset, update to 10b, reset, update to 10d, reset, update to 10f, reset, update to 10h, reset, root, reset), and what should I say, same as before!!!
After the steps to V10h I only installed 3 Apps for root access (for testing): Adfree Android, Dateimanager (Filemanager), Recovery 1.2. I started these Apps a few times, also the superSU-App and after 8-10 Tries, superSu was frozen!!! (same as before update)
No more idea, but all the work was quite useless...
As I thought, with factory reset and flashing new firmware, there are no "old" files (where should they be?) cause system, data and sdcard are written new, so the process of upgrading from V10a couldnt bring the effort...

This sounds like you upgraded with kdz flasher. Don't do that. Use the official LG Software Update tool. It will download a v10h directly and flash it, together with a factory reset and a reset of those "emergency files". Do another factory reset afterwards just to be sure.

In which mode the phone has to be connected to use that tool? In "Software Upgrade Mode or in Recovery mode or normally booted? With USB Debugging on?
Do I have to choose "emercency update"? How could I say, that I want to reflash the same Firmware (actually V10h is installed)? Please give some advice... Thanks in advance...

What I said was this:
"I still advice you to downgrade, FACTORY RESET, web upgrade to latest (V10H), root and factory reset."
Web upgrade is the same than LG Update Tool... It will install the original official firmware for your phone, once you're German, you'll have the V10H.
I never had problems with supersu since I use it...

If you have V10H, the program (LG Update Tool) will tell you that you already have the latest one...
Or you downgrade or follow the video from minute 00:51:00
OK, I try again. I used KDZ-Updater for reflash to V10a, I think there would be no other way. Then I used the OTA-Updates to get the Version 10b, 10d, 10f and 10h. That´s what I understood as "Webupgrade".
Now I have connected my phone in S/W Upgrade mode and use the LGMobile Update Tool. There is an option "Recovery phone" and now it is Downloading the Firmware (extremly slow, will last 2 hours or more), next should be Update.
Do u think this way its necessary to downgrade to V10a again, before the use of this tool or would it install all necessary?

"Web Upgrade" refers to the use of LG Update tool. It's because there is a button named "Web Upgrade" in the b2c program which launches the "normal" LG Update tool. I hope it's clear this way. FOTA (=Firmware over-the-air) is NOT Web upgrade.
I don't know if the emergency mode does the same as the web upgrade, but I suppose it does. So wait those three hours. LG servers are extremely slow on that, i had the same experience when upgrading my phone with Web Upgrade. Just leave it on and go away, and when you come back in a few hours it should work again.
Thanks! I think the update is the same. I need the recovery phone option, cause the installed Firmware V10h is the latest and so there is no option Web-Upgrade activ. With this mode, the normal PHONE UPDATE Screen from the update tool comes up and the 4 Steps Analysis, Download, Update and Complete are shown...
The Download is 465,75 MB and seems to be the normal size for V10h.
But I dont think, there will be a great difference after that update for my problem with superSu. I "bricked" my phone a few days ago, I formatted SDCard, system, cache and data, I had to install the firmware via S/W Upgrade mode, the only mode the phone was booting, all other ways was dead, so I think I came from the absolut beginning. After that flash of firmware and first rooting again, the problem still persist (I had this problem from the first day I got the phone). Therefore I dont think, a 3rd or 4th install will change a lot, but I try...
All of you, who think the tool does something special, I am not sure. There is a Download-Directory, u will find KDZ-File V10H_00.kdz, exactly the same (did a file compare) that u can download on our servers for update via KDZ Update. So I think, also the simple write to the phone will be the same procedure. So I dont think its a great difference to use KDZ-Updater or this tool, both flash exactly the same firmware...
Give response of effort later...
Edit (after Test):
Same as ever! Filemanager freezes every 3-4 times started, supersu hangs sometimes, all as before...
This time I flashed V10a via KDZ-updater, reset, used the LGMobileUpdate Tool for upgrade to V10h, reset, root, reset. Installed supersu update, updated binary, upgraded to superSu pro. I installed some Apps with root access and the effect is as ever, sometimes ok sometimes the App or superSu hangs. Must be a problem with my phone, persists since the first day over all Firmware and Updates...
Thanks all for help!

Hi, unfortunately NO! I´ve done all the stuff, reflash about 5 times or more, factory reset and wipe all (dalvik, cache), but the problem occurs already after reflash and reboot blank stock rom. After rooting the "naked" stock rom, the problem already exists. So it has nothing to do with installed apps or something else...
I also tried using superuser instead supersu. I tried to install both supersu and superuser via CWM-Zip (not together, one after the other, and I´m sure that I´ve correctly uninstalled the previous one) to be sure of correct Superuser-Bin and Superuser/SuperSu-Versions, but nothing changes. Even with superuser, same behavior...
May be a good news is, i´ve also tried a costum rom (CustoNexus) and couldnt see the problem with that rom. So may be with the next update to jelly bean our problem is solved too...
Let´s wait and hope...

Problem will occur sometime later again.
Unfortunately I have the same Problem with SuperSu Pro, it works after a Reboot but some Time later it freezes, but the Apps with root permissions continue to run normally.
Good News, the problem is gone after upgrading to JB 4.1.2 V20a. No more freezes with Superuser or Apps which needs Root.
This was my hope and its OK now!!!
Btw I use Superuser (not SuperSU) but I had the problem on ICS exactly the same way with Superuser and SuperSU. So I think it should be OK now even with both of them...

HTC One M7 root access lost?

Hi I recently updated my phone to the newest version of ViperROM.
Ever since I did the update (full wipe), when I go into recovery it mentions this:
Root Access Possibly Lost Fix?
THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE
1. YES fix root (/system/xbin/su)
2. NO do not fix
I didn't have this before I updated my phone, and I'm pretty sure I haven't updated the CWM recently either... I also have SuperSU installed for root access.
I've reinstalled the ViperRom 2-3 times with the same issue, my work colleague is getting the same thing on his phone to (same phones). Both phones have the same recovery, supersu and rom.
Very wierd, anyone else seen anything like this or know how I might fix it?
I've used the option to add SuperSU to system, but the message still shows.
I can't seem to do anything while I have this message. There is an OTA update from ViperROM which I can't install, because is keeps asking to fix root.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you gain root access on the phone? E.g. terminal emulator and use the 'su' command. Do you get a SU prompt?
If not have you tried manually flashing SU zip?

Its got to the point where I'm attempting to install a different SU.zip, and now CWM attempts to install then the screen goes blank.
I can't install anything via CWM at the moment...
I've had root access before installed the Viper 5.0 update, now is gone all weird.
I now can't install any .zip file via the phone, CWM attempts it showing "installing zip" then the screen goes blank and reboots.

Have you done Backup Data, wipe and fresh install, then restore Data?

I have a backup from before i updated ViperRom 5.0, can I not install TWRP or something? Its just I would then need to reinstall ViperRom again and set everything up.
To be honest, it wasn't perfect from when I did the update, but it still looks better than the old version I was on.

If you back up data you won't need to set it up again. That's my point. Do this
Install TWRP, do a full backup, then wipe and install 5.5 fresh. Then restore Data. Restoring data will return your phone back to the way you had it.

[Q] Titanium Backup Pro Seems To Be Unable to Restore Apps. Sits at 0%

I made a backup of a couple games and random other apps, about 20 as I decided to flash the cyanogenmod nightly onto it. Everything works fine, I enabled root in developer settings. When I first opened the app I got a warning about my SU binary being outdated, that its functional but maybe unstable on 4.3+ devices. So when I go Batch > Restore Missing Apps with Data it starts to restore but just sits at 0%
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm guessing its something to do with the SU binary warning I mentioned. How do I update this?

You need to flash the latest version of SuperSU through recovery (Chainfire's). The baked in Superuser doesn't seem to work with TBU

Do I have to flash it through recovery? Or can I just grab it from the app store?

Ehh, Maybe ... I usually flash through recovery and just keep the zip saved on my phone.
I don't think its a TBU issue I've used it a few times without any problems.
