rcvd an orange branded DHD yesterday but was able to run Visionary 14 and run temproot then permroot as device wasn't upgraded.
Applied jkoljo easy one click radio off, sim unlock and super cid thing with all looking good with radio s-off confirmed. Also from terminal emulator I have #su access.
Via clockwork Mod installed a modaco custom rom - all looking good.
My problem now is that titanium backup says it could not acquire root privileges?
I have tried downloading a clean busybox but it fails on the verify stage. Sometimes I get error: application superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedley.
I've also tried clearing data for both TB and SU from settings > apps > manage apps... no good.
Any ideas?

if you flash your backup (you did make one right?) I assume root and SU are still intact, if so possibly a bad flash of modaco, try reflashing or flashing a different ROM and report back
I did make a backup but hadn't tried re-flashing. I'm giving it a go now.
OK so dropped into clockword mod recovery, cleaned dalvik, wiped fatory reset and cache then re-flashed modaco rom.
All installs fine however still have the force close when trying to run titanium backup and get the error can't get root privilege.
SU reports it is up to date but trying to run su in terminal emulator gives the com.noshufou.android.su stopped message.
Apart from not being able to restore/backup using TB at least I can still install ROM.
The root problem is in the rom you are using, try for example Android Revolution 2.0.3. Some 1.72 based roms have problems with superuser.
try re-installing updating Superuser via the market see if that helps as it does sound like an issue with Superuser itself

which MCR are you using? is it a pre-baked or cooked one?
A baked one on the r2.

appears to be a known issue with MCR r2 a possible work around is after a FC run superuser yourself and then the app might run normally if you try launching it again.
Edit: on further investigation, there is a patched SU available over on the G2 Forums apparently it's and issue on all 1.72.x.x Sense ROMs, wouldn't know personally as I don't use Sense

I have used HTC unlock bootloader method to unlock my HTC Salsa Icon G C510e and that worked fine with me.
Then I installem CWM recovery and falsh the custom ROM.
Then i tried to root my phone. everything went well no errors(atleast i could not see any on the screen)
Then isnstalled Link2SD, now here comes the problem. It now says that my phone is not rooted and Link2Sd cannot access root. I also installed Root Check app from and it said the same that my phone is not rooted.

Question..............did you flash the root.zip file?
if not theres your problem, thats what gives you root access. if you have then you got an error in the rom if you flashed another over your original....hope your making nandroid backups lol
Solved
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.
In order to root your Nexus S (from Gingerbread to ICS!) I have made a script that all you need to do is launch with your PC! (credits to saurik for the exploit)
Hope this will help you
All you need to do, is run the script! Then, plug-in your phone (needs to be on with USD ADB DEBUG ON) and done!
You can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?qhefhtgs20fdtsd
This will root your phone, and then you can afterwards flash ClockworkMod from the market and then reboot into recovery =)
Peace be with you.

I'll test it later. Does this use fast boot to unlock?
And saurik? He's the king of cydia. He got the exploit?

haha..rooted..thanx!!!!!!...
is there a way to make this work with a xoom?
When I try this it shows that it worked, but it doesn't seem to load properly since ROM manager says superuser not found. When I try to update the bineries it also fails on "checking current install path".. failed to find currently installed su binary.
Any ideas?
Edit: I'm running gb 2.3.6

does it work with all android phones.like xperia phone.
Thanks!
Just ordered my wife a Nexus S, will try this Friday and report back!
Nice!
Ran it and it worked. Well, ran it and then had to do a few things to prove that it had worked.
After running the script, you have to install Superuser in Google Play Store (Market). Then, I installed MyBackup Pro (paid version) which does a few more fancy things if it has root access. When I ran MyBackup Pro, it said that I have superuser access.
Sweet!
I ran this on a Nexus S i9023 running ICS 4.0.3.
It looks like root access remained after reboot. Pretty good!
COOL! Thanks for sharing! The Nexus is en route!

This is an early April Fool right? The Nexus S is completely open and doesn't need exploits to gain root. Unlock the bootloader then you can use fastboot to install a custom recovery image. Simples.
Hi there, have you made one for the MyTouch4G or do you know if one does exist for it ?
Thanks

Didn't work for me.
Ran the zip, plugged phone in. Downloaded superuser, and then Rom Manager. Rom Manager couldn't see root.
Modified version of this:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/
worked for me.
I had to transfer Rom Manager to the phone via email because I couldn't get it to download anything from the market on wifi. Flashed recovery through CW. MIUI is now on the pone.
SWEET!
got it to work to install ota 4.0.4 manually via cwm...only thing is i lost root and it seems this exploit doesnt work on ota 4.0.4 so i cant run it again...
this is cool
thanks for this man...i used it when i got 4.0.3 and worked well on my i9023...ini 4.0.4 it diddnt work...but i restore back to 4.0.3 and installed voodoo ota root keeper from the market...and i restored the the root ran with the script in this poost in one click in 4.0.4 . awsome
Does it wipe your phone in the process?

That requires wiping your phone, and unlocking your bootloader. Appears this works with a locked bootloader.
I rooted my XT890 which is on 4.0.4. I don't know what it's called that I used to root it with and I don't have the same exact download link but it's the only one on the internet that doesn't require you to flash anything.
So I ran that and I thought I had my phone rooted. The major problem is that most apps that require root privileges don't work. The only root app that works is busybox. On other ones, the superuser permission prompt will pop up and will I press "allow". Then, it will say "[whatever program] has been granted superuser permissions". After that, whatever superuser requiring app I'm using will go to an error the same way it would on a completely stock un-rooted phone.
Will buying superuser elite fix it?
Will un-rooting and re-rooting by flashing a homemade fastboot fix it? If so, how do I un-root?
Can anybody help?
Did you solve your problem?

Hi, obviously we had a similar problem (

Nope I never figured it out.
It seems that most superuser apps aren't compatible with x86 Android unless the developers have specifically taken steps to solve it. Since RAZR i users make up an incredibly small amount of android users, almost no one bothers to make their root apps work.

That link above will install you cwm if you don't already have it then with that you can flash either the RAZR I Root or RAZR I Root 2 .zip... It just depends which one is for your ROM and I didn't link because I couldn't find it or have it bookmarked anymore but if you find it and flash it through cwm it will definitely work

Hi, I was trying to install viper4android on my device. The application is installed successfully, but I can't install drivers. After reboot the app asks me again to install drivers. I also tried to get stock android lockscreen deleting HTC lockscreen.apk. Successfully deleted, but present again after reboot. Should I need s-off to do that? With other models I did this without s-off. Indeed with soft reset, I get the Android stock lockscreen, but with a complete reboot I get the sense one again.

You need TWRP recovery
Take backup (you'll never know what can happen)
Boot into recovery > mount > pick system
go back to the main menu, advanced > file manager
You'll find HtcLockScreen.apk and HtcLockScreen.odex in system/priv-app
I deleted them and voilà! No more sense 6 Locksreen, stock android.

But this is not a official version! This zip overwrite your audio configuration! Be carefully. I repaired it with the files from the "big" M8. Runs better than ever.

There was somewhere in the official thread in the faq a question like "i can't install it anyway? Then try with the flashable zip", it's the same zip that I posted.. Sorry, I'll give you the right link as soon as I find it... but as you solved it anyway,how did you do it?
After I repaired my phone, I never would like to use this app.
And then installed v4a? As normal app?
No, after this repair I was happy that my phone works again. Until there is no official ROM that I can flash or where I can extract the original files, I do not make any change on my phone again!
Confirmed - it's a problem caused by HTC's system write protection. Liberty Kernel solved the issue with viper4android.
But you need a new kernel. With the Android rSAP App you can create a flashable driver ZIP, I think this is the better way to install drivers for an App. They also create a uninstall ZIP.

I couldnt find drivers for v4a, i reflashed stock kernel after installing drivers, the problem was indeed system write, no incompatiblity or stuff like that the app is now installed and finally fully working!
I am happy with the write protection, because you never know, what the "driver installation" changed on your system. In a zip I can take a look about the modification and for example with the rSAP app I KNOW, that I can deinstall all modifications. But I dont know anything about Viper4Android. So I have to look for another DSP manager ...
