[Q] Problem with MIUI Rom, version 1.12.25

Hi There,
I'm running the above ROM that I had flashed yesterday, and I had realised today that the ROM hadn't given me root permissions.
I have followed many guides on how to fix this.
One of the main ways was too enable root permissions in SuperUser, but it isn't working as it's not showing that option.
I can't access Recovery Mode or download mode at the moment, even though the ROM is running perfectly other than not been able to use root apps.
I have tried a factory reset so the ROM is back as it was when I first flashed, but I still can't enable root.
I am wondering, is there a way I can flash an MIUI rom without root permission and the ability to access recovery?
If so, could you please point me in the direction of fixing this?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

You could try to acces recovery through the ROM Manager app. Are you sure your ROM isn't rooted? Check if you have an app called Superuser installed.
SuperUser only lists applications that have asked for SU permissions. You can't add them manually.
Try running an application that needs SU access (like titanium backup), and see if it throws an error message, or popup that allows it to get SU access.

I've installed Titanium Backup and it says.. Root access: X FAILED.
I can't update my superuser binary files because it can't gain root access.
And yes I do have superuser installed.
I can't get into recovery mode using ROM Manager either.
Is there a way I can reflash a ROM? I do have mobile ODIN.. but it says it doesn't work with the MIUI kernel..

Not much you can do if you don't get access to download mode or recovery.
What you can do if it doesnt work is try the USB Jig that will force your phone into download/recovery mode. They are very cheap on E-bay i've heard

Just brought a jig, I'll keep you posted

not rebooting on recovery problem

Hi all.
As stated in the subject, I can't reboot into recovery mode using ROM Manager. I'd like to flash CM. but when I try to reboot into recovery to start backup, wipe, flash, nothing happened. It will just stay in ROM Manager.
Tried downloading different version of CWM from the latest version down to v5.0.0.1 but to no avail.
Read some posts regarding this problem saying that I should download v3 something of CWM but when I try to download older CWM version from RM -> All CWM Recoveries, only 5.0.0.1 is the lowest.
Any idea? I really like to flash CM into my OB. Thanks in advance.

Did you flashed alternative recovery? Is the first option in rom manager. be mindful that you have to be connected to the internet ffirst.

Yes did that. Actually from version 5.2.x.x downgrade to v5.0.0.1 doesn't work for me. RM won't take me to recovery mode. It doesn't do anything after a reboot request.
Please help. Thanks for the reply btw.

Is your phone rooted?

Yes. my OB is rooted. got apps working like SetCPU, App2SD, etc...

Try updating the su binary and super user app, or try using supersu. Also, check if rom manager has been granted su access in superuser app.
Try using terminal emulator and the command "reboot recovery"

tried running it in emulator with reboot recovery but it factory resets my phone...

That means you have no recovery installed. Try following a guide in the development section. Just search for it. Install CWM and pray

What about the other suggestions i made? Try checking su and su permissions. And then procceed to flash recovery from rom manager.

Ok, the thing is, my phone goes factory reset and the superuser app, busybox, etc. are lost. can I install superuser app manually? tried it but I just can't add any applications into it for granting access

Downloaded and run the latest SOClick, but it says the phone is rooted and I clicked yes to continue and stuck at Step # 7. don't know what to do after.
Reboot the phone, ran Gingerbreak, took me 10+mins but I think it's not working anymore so I had to reboot the phone as my boss was screaming at me thru skype why he can't contact me...
I'm lost.

there is no method that works with stock 2.3.4 version, I recommend to look for a patched bin and fls files and flash them with smartflash app. I'm not on my PC right now so maybe tomorrow I'll give you the links, but you can try look for them yourself smart flash is stickied and search for v20o patched bin.
FDN

Try any of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480392 They are patched. I have a patched v20Q but my upstream is slow. If you want to patch by yourself, install Linux.

And here is the smart flash tutorial

And there's a superuser.zip on that thread (instructions). just browse a little.

@ re4lsk: I'll try downloading those things after work. can't dl here, firewall too strict. many thanks.
@ gabwerkz: salamat kabayan. I'll try those after work. will post updates tomorrow

I did follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23790405&postcount=171
It was a successful flash not until step 14 & 15. when I tried to Wipe data/factory reset and flash superuser.zip respectively, there's no option of YES in the confirmation page...all options are in No..
what will I do?
-edit-
ok found it. successfully flashed now. rebooting phone..can't wait. many thanks to all!

[Q] Rooted, no SU Binaries

Hi. I have Android 2.3.6 on my Galaxy Ace. I wanted to root it with upd_1.zip. I used the stock recovery. It said installation complete, so I rebooted. The Superuser icon has appeared in my app drawer so I was very happy that it was successful, but my SuperUser says that I haven't got SU binaries, so I haven't got any root access. I've searched for similar problems, but I didn't find any. What do I do now?

Sorry buddy, never heard of such an issue. I guess you try to Unroot and Root again. U may try xda for some better Root procedure or search my blog www.andro-sapien.blogspot.in.
Do let me know if it is sorted out by Re-Rooting.

pls help
So, I unrooted and rooted and there's the same issue. Original Superuser says - Checking available version failed, so I tried to delete the app data - that didn't work. I updated the Superuser and it says that I doesn't have SU binaries.

or

I actually have a similar sounding problem but arrived at it differently.
My phone had been rooted and working OK for over a year. At some point the latest superuser binary stopped functioning with adb wireless.
So I downloaded SuperSU a few months ago and it's different binary fixed that particular issue. So all was working fine until failing to update that binary today. I'm now in the same boat as you but don't have a clue how or why.

This 2 files are the same as my upd_1.zip. The very same. My upd_1.zip has xbin with busybox, su etc. but it doesn't want to be flashed for some reason. The only files in my xbin folder (in the phone) are : busybox, dexdump, although I flashed the other needed binaries. What is this? Is this my phone's fault?
@edit : Can I flash CWM without those binaries?

Yes you can, and then you can try to flash root again.
If not you can flash CF-Root (only for Gingerbread!!) maybe it works :S
1º Flash via recovery CWM
http://www.mediafire.com/download/u331vcwkr36c28n/CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b84.zip
2º Flash via CWM APP, it'll fix the bootanimation
when your android will boot, go to CWM app (in your drawer) and select "Flash kernel" and select this file
http://dfiles.eu/files/1sfl9qotm

I flashed CWM Recovery, and now when I select install zip from sdcard and select root file, it says error 7 - update aborted.
@edit - I found the AceGingerRoot.zip. Is it legit and can I install it on GT-S5830 (it has different MD5 than upd_1.zip and root.zip).

I've always used Acegingeroot to get root permissions... do what you consider more solutions, impossible

Acegingerroot didn't worked. No errors at all, but still no root access.

What rom are you using?
Is GT-S5830 your device model?
Did you try CF-Root b84?
Have you got enough free internal memory?
if you have Thinkfree installed, try to delete it flashing this file before flashing root file:

I use the stock ROM - GINGERBREAD.XWKTQ (from the Polish mobile network Play Mobile)
Yes, I have GT-S5830 (checked twice in settings and on box)
No, i didn't tried it.
I have 54 MB left.
I have ThinkFree.
Is ThinkFree Office the problem?

The last firmwares haven't enough space in system partition to push correctly root files, I don't know about your rom, I'm using KTM form Spain as base and I've never had a trouble, but if your problem is that your rom is using all the internal memory (system partition) you couldn't push root files, so you can try deleting ThinkFree from the system partition and then try to root your phone...

umm I think, yes... I've read post where people have flashed CWM and then a custom rom, but I wouldn't advise you to do it directly... anyway you can try it if you want and report then what happened

Actually, I'm gonna wait till more people on forum will help me. I don't want to risk so much. I don't know what can I do.

LOL! Well thought out! I wouldn't do it either
if upd_1, acegingeroot, and cf-root didn't work and you want to root your device, the best way is to use Odin and to flash a fresh stock rom which it allows you to flash this files

OK. I'm gonna do that, but can you post me some links with download and instructions for my Ace?
And - if I flash a new ROM with Odin, will my CWM recovery disappear?
Oh, I found my ROM on Samfirmware from Play Mobile (XWKTQ 2.3.6), so there's no point of installing it right? I need just a fine ROM with polish language.
EDIT - I almost forgot - I didn't tried the Delete_thinkdroid.zip thingy. I'm gonna flash it now and post the results.
EDIT 2 - WHAT?! I flashed Delete_thinkdroid.zip and it didn't even deleted it. I still have ThinkFree and it's working! Guess i'm gonna need that new ROM. It seems that my ROM just refuses to use recovery flashing in any way.

[Q] How do i fix un root?

I'm new to this guys. A quick run down is this.
Downloaded rom manager pro, root explorer,titanium back up and mobile odin pro. Along with the relevant cf root file zip and followed instructions.
Rooted s3 no problem.
Uninstalled and then re installed superSU through play store. No problem.
Through rom manager, made a back up through TWRP.
Flashed the galaxy project onto phone no problem.
Now superSU is saying i need the SU binary installed.
Rom manager can't find any back ups. Root checker is saying that my phone is not rooted which explains why titanium back up isn't able to do anything.
So now i'm thinking lets start fresh...go back to odin and re root. Well Odin CANNOT see my phone in download mode. Only when the phone is in normal operating mode it can be seen which is really weird. When i went into settings to look at <about device> i can no longer see the imei number or whatever it was. Not even sure if thats normal.
So.....What have i done wrong?? and how am i able to salvage this?
Can anyone help??

Uninstall SU reboot then reinstall reboot and all should be well :thumbsup:

I have also tried removing the battery for 10 minutes...still no good.

Unistall the update, then re-install and reboot

Flash this update (the zip file) for supersu in twrp and enjoy
http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip

sorry to be a pain mate but odin is not recognising my phone when in download mode. Not sure but i think this is a soft brick?

If your trying to fix supersu you can flash that zip in TWRP. I'm not sure how to fix Odin problems.

[Q] Need help installing CM on my LGP970

Hi,
I am new to this, kind of have no clue how to proceed. I checked other sticky posts, but its a bit confusing. I currently have ICS(4.0.4) on my P970, i want to install CM on it. I have already rooted my device using UnLockRoot. I then installed ROM Manager and tried to do Flash Recovery, but it gets stuck at 100% and nothing happens. I have already downloaded the CM version which i want and copied to my SD card. Whats the next step after rooting the phone ?
Thanks

I had the same probem. You need to try a few times to flash recovery untill Rom Manager will ask for superuser acces. You can also change for superuser acces from "ask" to "allow" in superuser app.

It's stuck at 100% because Rom Manager doesn't have root acces.Update your SuperSU,open it: ACCES=GRANT try flash recovery 2-3 times. If doesn't work ACCES=PROMT again 2-3 tries.
Also you can try to backup you current ROM using Rom Manager to see if ask for su acces.
Good Luck!
