this is how i did it anyways. i had to flash the boot.img and update via stock recovery to get the ota to flash. but then no root!
so heres how i got it back:
download the superboot/paulobrien method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882333).
boot phone to fastboot.
Code:
fastboot boot boot.superboot.img
let phone boot, open terminal, su, just to check.
reboot phone.
rooted and ota'd now!
I've got root back, but not by that method. I think it might be a mistake to flash that boot.img, as the 2.3.1 update patched boot.img... so replacing it with one from 2.3 might not be the best idea. But I guess no one really know what the changes might be.
I guess time will tell
The method I used was:
1. Boot into fastboot.
2.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.0-crespo.img
3. Reboot from fastboot directly into recovery (not doing so will cause android to replace CWR).
4. Mount USB, copy su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip to the /sdcard via windows/linux
5. Mount /system
6. Install update from zip (browse to were you put su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip).
7. Install it, and reboot.
8. open root explorer, and rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.old
9. open ROM Manager, reflash CWR.
now you are all done, rooted, w/ CWR
I reflashed CWM, then from CWM, remounted /system, then used adb to chmod 6775 su. That restored root pretty easily.
What Recovery image are you using? Are you able to get into it consistently? I can't from fastboot except for if I immediately hit it up after flashing CWM with fb, or from ROM Manager (flash from RM, then select reboot to recovery).

its not flashing it. read the command. its only booting to that image to install su. then reboot will bring you back to stock 2.3.1 boot.img.

Sure it is. But on Android bootup, a script is running somewhere to replace it with stock recovery. They did this on Droid_1 after the first or second update (that's my only other android phone... so my android experience is limited).
edit: I just found the script. It's /etc/install-recovery.sh .... just renamed my to install-recovery.sh.old. gonna reflash CWR and test it now.
edit2: yep, works great now. CWR, and retained my 2.3.1 boot.img
So is this something that the devs of clockworkmod need to fix in order to not lose clockwork recovery when u reboot the phone

No, it's a safety mechanism so you can't lose recovery... It has nothing to do with clockworkmod. Someone can make a root script or app that disables it easily. Or people can just do it themselves manually.
edit: actually, all that needs to be done is add some code to the update script inside su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip so when it installs the update, it renames install-recovery.sh

I want to attempt to restore my root by using your method. But I'm lost at the part when you use adb chomd 6775 su,
When I go into adb, do i just type chomd 6775 su? Do I have to download something else to use this? Please explain, thanks
If u dont mind can u please provide the instructions on how to do it manually. Id really appreciate it. Sorry im a noob lol

Is it just me or does adb remount no longer work?
If I use the old koush rootboot.img it works, but no wifi, if I use the stock boot.img, I get no wifi but am able to remount.
I can read an ive done all the steps u posted but my ? Is where in root explorer do i find /etc/install-recovery.sh so i can rename it? Im learning this as i go so excuse me if i sound stupid sometimes

do you have root explorer? if not, it's just a file explorer that has root access. by default when you open it you are at /
you need to scroll down to /etc
go in that folder and find the install-recovery.sh
look up top for the button to turn it from read-only to read-write, click it
go back to the file long press it, and then choose rename.

Hi
When I start the Rom Manager I get the message "You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found as "/system/bin/su" or/system/xbin/su".
I have followed the instructions here on how to root my Nexus s and I am able to enter recovery mode and am able to go into bootloader. I also see that is says "Unlock" there.
So the way I understand it, the phone is rooted. Unless I miss something here.
I also see the Superuser icon in my launcher.
What am I doing wrong?
Think this is the wrong area to ask but when you flashed the su file did you mount system in the mount and storage before flashing the su file?
I dont think it was mentioned in the guide.
how do I do that?
Can I reapply the su zip file again?

Hi I'm new here.
I have xperia x8 and would like to know did i rooted or did I not rooted my phone.
I downloaded superoneclick...follow instructions but didnt make backup with xrecovery or anything else.
my phone wanted superuser permission for some battery thing ....
and one more thing!
Do I have to install some custom ROM for android 2.2 or I already have 2.2?
because in settings->about phone->firmware version is 2.1-update1
->build number is 2.1.1.A.0.6

The easiest way would be to open the "Terminal" (if not installed -> this is what you're looking for) and type 'su'.
If the su binary exists and works you're most likely rooted.
The build string of 2.1.1.A.0.6 means you got the genuine Sony Ericsson Android 2.1 series ROM.
Android 2.1 ("Eclair") - 2.1.x
Android 2.2 ("Froyo") - 2.2.x
Android 2.3 ("Gingerbread") - 2.3.x
Finally, yes you need to install a custom ROM in order to run Android 2.2 (i.e. FroyoPro 2.4 by lrakkarl) or Android 2.3 (i.e. GingerDX by doixanh)
ok i downloaded it and type su nothing happened han i tryed with 'su' nothing happened...

Type su and press enter (the button bottom and right in the keyboard) the $ icon will turn to # if you are rooted and it will tell sth like "access denied" if you are not.
If you have superuser and you haven't downloaded from market you are rooted.
If you want to know how to install a custom rom just use the search button and you will find a lot of threads!

No, I was talking about these ROMs (at the time of writing) here:
FroyoPro v2.4 by lrakkarl
GingerDX v022 by doixanh (Recommended)
Note about GingerDX Downloads:
The download links in doixanh's post are dead at the moment. Click the Link in my signature for GingerDX downloads ... but read on first.
Now, as for xRecovery:
To make it easy for you. Click the link in my signature and hop into the "Recoveries" folder. Download the "xRecovery_Installer_v0.1.apk", copy it onto the SD card of your phone (connect in USB-Storage mode and copy the file).
By using a File Manager like Root Browser Lite you then install the APK from your SD card.
One it has been installed you will find the "xRecovery Installer" icon in the list of apps - tap it, follow instructions to install xRecovery.
Once you installed xRecovery continue like this ...
Download GingerDX v013 AND GingerDX v022 as well as the ModulesStockKernel AddOn (you find everything in my MediaFire folder).
Copy all three files onto your SD card.
Once the files are copied ...
Reboot the phone and keep on pressing the "BACK" button once the "Sony Ericsson" logo shows up to get into xRecovery.
In there you select to flash a custom zip, navigate to the GingerDX v013 ZIP on your SD card and flash it.
Once that ROM has been flashed reboot.
Once the "Sony Ericsson" logo shows up again keep on tapping onto the screen to get into ClockworkMod recovery (do NOT boot up yet)!
In there you do almost the same as before ...
Select to flash a custom zip, navigate to the GingerDX v022 ZIP on your SD card and flash it.
Once the flash has been done you select to flash a custom ZIP again and flash the ModulesStockKernel ZIP.
Once that is done you select "Full Wipe (Factory Reset)" and then you are free to reboot into GingerDX v022.
In case of questions, post.

Everytime I've used SuperOneClick its has installed busybox as part of the rooting process. Just try rooting your phone again and put the output from the log in this thread if you're still having issues. This is normally a very straight forward process.

i removed busybox(from market)from my phone and rerooted ,succesfull but than i went to terminal emulator and type su ......no #!!!!!!!
I am going to reroot one more time if a failed i am going to factory data erase!
I'd say re-root your phone with SuperOneClick again. Once you believe that it is rooted, go to the market and search for an app with "root" in its name (e.g. something like "root memory manager" - Or any program that states root access is needed). Install the app and then load it up, it should then popup asking to allow superuser acsess, click "Allow" - The App should load as intended.... This means your phone IS roooted! (Click yes on the popup to allow root access too the app, job done!)
ok i am going to try that but now i must go!
seems like you have to reroot it.
pay attention to the installation of busybox:
if this dont fix your problem then as you said do a full wipe and try again!
@mario1024
The xRecovery Installer (the APK I recommended to you) installs everything you need - the xRecovery Installer will put busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar into the system ... you, of course, need to have root.
If you have problems rooting with SuperOneClick ...
Download Flashtool v0.2.9.1 (again, see the link in my Sig and hop into the "Flashtool" folder).
Boot your phone, enable USB-Debugging, connect to phone to the computer in "Charging mode".
- Start Flashtool
- Press the "Root" button
A automatic reboot will follow!
Once the phone rebooted...
Connect in "Charging mode" again.
- Press the "Ask root perm" button and look at your phone.
You will get a popup from Superuser to grant su permissions.
Confirm the request!
- Now click the "xRecovery" button to inject xRecovery into your phone.
Done - rooted and xRecovery in one go.

No, there's no alternative to xRecovery.
EDIT: Not entirely true ... there's the x8toolbox by puppet13th that's able to inject Dual Recovery (xRecovery AND ClockworkMod recovery) - though you need root for x8toolbox to do its job.
Anyhow, since you are trying for quite a few attempts now: To be on the safe side, as the thing that happened was not the intended outcome, try to restore back to plain Stock ROM and re-try from there.
Using a clean Stock ROM may lead to what we want without troubles.

I recommend you to check the SuperSU setting as you problem does sound like root access is not available to the app.
Try installing terminal emulator and type "su" in the terminal and press enter if you get "[email protected]: / # " then the apps are getting the access.
then type "reboot" and if your phone reboots then the apps can interact with root file.Give it a try and post the result.

Hi there.If you have root access and unlocked bootloader,you can install TWRP even without pc connection.
first you should download a terminal emulator app from google play.
then you should download the latest version of TWRP image file from here https://dl.twrp.me/yuga/.
Place it in the root of your /sdcard folder and rename it to twrp.img
Run the following commands in terminal app
Code:
su
and then we write recovery image file to FOTA with dd command.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
and it's done.
press thanks if it was helpful.
i installed hk lollipop zip from my custom twrp recovery. and when rom istall has finished ; recovery gone.

Below are 2 solutions to get a properly working recovery
Preperation:
1. Download Dual recovery installer: XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip
2. Install NDRUtils
Next up we will test if the TWRP you installed works or not
-open NDRUtils and choose to boot into TWRP recovery.
Now unhide the result that you got to continue with the installation:
OK: I am now in TWRP
flash XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip and reboot.
Everything will work normally now.
Not OK: I am not in TWRP
Reboot the phone if you have to (hold power until you feel 3 vibrations and then turn the phone back on)
You need to download this: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/Kernel_Builder
To get the right file make sure to selec the xperia z c6603 and select the rom version you are using, you can view what you have in settings, about phone, build number.
it will be much easier for you if you install this: X-plore File Manager The reason i recommend this application is that it automatically makes sure the file rights are correct.
Go into the settings and enable superuser +mount root mode
Now you can browse to the folder where you downloaded the zip in the left pane.
go into the zip and and then into tmp
Select the boot.img
now move to the right pane and browse to the root of your SD card like the comment above
go back to the left pane and with boot.img still checked click copy.
Now follow the original instructions mrp1375 gave you, but notice the different filename
Open terminal
Type : su
Type: dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
Now you can reboot and if it worked the phone will vibrate twice and show a green led meaning you can press the down button to enter TWRP recovery.
Go into the recovery and now flash XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip so you get a proper installation
Now remember this very important fact:
Whenever you flash or wipe anything you MUST reinstall recovery and root again.
This is a failsafe strategy you can NEVER ignore becaus of your usb issues.
Keep SuperSu installer and XZ-lockeddualrecovery installer on your device at all times!
thank you

Hey! I have the same problem as the OP here. I followed the instructions like 5 times and still couldnt get it to work. The terminal is saying that "No space left on device" when i type "dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel"
any way to fix this? Thanks!

That doesnt look quite right it should look like this:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $
Then you type "su" (without the quotes) and press enter
The display then changes to:
Code:
[email protected]:/ #
Now you type "dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel" (without the quotes) and press enter
And then it should work properly.
