Problem with Hashcode's tweaked D3 Bootstrap

I got a new phone in yesterday and after starting up, I immediately rooted and installed Hashcode's tweaked version of Koush's Bootstrap Recovery. I did a Nandroid backup and everything went smoothly. However, I went on to flash Dark Droid and everything worked great, but after clicking "Bootstrap Recovery" after flashing (as I read that one should after flashing a new ROM), I received the following error:
Failure
/data/data/com.hashcode.droid3.bootstrap/files/surunner.sh
[Permission denied]
Any idea as to what's going on here? Thanks in advance.

Check superuser it looks like it did not get su permission.

i had some issues like that, it was solved by updateing busybox then su. worth a shot anyway.

I checked SU and the Bootstrapper definitely has SU permissions. I also updated SU, but to no avail.
Anyone else?

did you check busybox?

I'm not very familiar with how Busybox works or how to "check" it. Could you teach me?
Edit: So I know there is some version of Busybox installed on my phone (doesn't psouza's one-click root automatically install it?), but I went ahead and donwloaded the Busybox installer from the Market and installed the latest version. Still not working. I even removed permission from SU in order to regain permission but that also didn't work.

Bump...still can't figure it out. Thank you again in advance.

Hello Lyxdeslic,
Have you tried Koush's stock Droid 3 Bootstrap? I'm curious if his apk would also have the same error.
I've seen a total of 2 users describe the issues that you're seeing. And 1 case was fixed, but never was explained how to me, the other issue was never resolved.
The 1st reply has it correct. The issue is that the Bootstrap "thinks" it has SU permissions, but it doesn't. And I'm 100% sure it has to do with the upgrade of Superuser.apk tho for 99% of users, all of it works seemlessly.
I apologize for not being able to provide much help :/

My friend, no need to apologize at all. I appreciate the response, as I was considering PMing you but I didn't want to be a bother considering you probably get tons of PMs a day.
However, I uninstalled your tweaked Bootstrap this morning (also deleted data prior) and reinstalled it, and permissions were re-granted and it works now. I just realized that this did indeed happen after SU binaries were updated. All seems to be working well now.
One last quick question; after re-installing, if I boot into Recovery mode...will your Bootstrap still recognize and find the Nandroid backup on my SD card, which was also created with your Bootstrap during the first installation? I don't have my phone on me at the moment and I forgot to test.
Thanks again for the support. Kudos to you.

The Safestrap isn't to be used with ROMs other than CM7 Alpha and the stock MotoBlur ROM, if I'm not mistaken.

It let to enter in the recovery, and is enough for me.

Ok, right...but why would you want to enter recovery in case of a bootloop when you can't flash the ROM you want to to restore your system? I mean yea Hashcode did create the MotoBlur ROM compatible with Safestrap only but still. Both options (safestrap and bootstrap) are needed, in my opinion.

I think that trying yourself is better than theorize...
They are two different sw created for different purposes, but those purposes are overlapping on the part that counts: booting in to recovery.

Correct. They both get you into recovery...but he wants to flash a ROM other than CM or stock. Which Safestrap has no use for. He needs a bootstrap, no ifs ands or buts. Safestrap is of no use to him.

This is what is needed to flash a rom (whatever rom), to do a nandroid backup and so on.
Period.
If you don't use a safestrap enabled rom just don't use the related feature

Safestrap is different in the way that it flashed roms. So. There.
OP:
You can install safestrap (after uninstalling whatever recovery app you had before) and hold tight until later tonight or tomorrow when I update DarkDroid with safestrap compatibility.

Listen, I'm used to talk just when I'm sure about things.
Right now I've installed a rom starting with safestrap, and works perfectly.
So why don't try yourself instead of posting guesses as facts ?

Please help. Phone not bricked but cant root

Good Evening everyone. As the title says i need help.
I have had my phone rooted fine in the past but went ahead and did the .893 update wich is where something went screwy. It booted fine after doing the .893 update however after doing a reboot it would not boot. just stayed at the M dual core. I think something went wrong on the update because all my apps were still there when it did boot.
So i tried doing a return to stock using the RSD lite program..that fails right away no matter what i do.
So i went and tried to do the One click fastboot system restore program.
Now when i did that the INFOpreflash validation failure showed up however everything else went through fine. the phone reboots and everything works just not great the signal strenght is very low.
The version that got installed says 5.5.1_84_dbn-55. So i try Pete's root method and it go thru to step 2 but then fails at rebooting for the second time saying it could not get root via local.prop.
If anyone could please help me get back to normal stock it would be much appreciated

Not to be a jerk, but did you READ any thread on here before you did this??
1) Unless you used p3droid's forever root method, you're done. No root.
2) Wrong forum - should be in general
3) RSD won't work.
4) I don't feel sorry for you. You should have researched more. If you would have taken the time to read a few threads, you would have known the answers before you did this.
Enjoy your new build - you'll be with it for awhile.

Sometimes the truth hurts. He messed up. Don't shoot the messenger.

Breathe in, breathe out!!!!

I'll breathe when this .893 goes through and I keep root

There is also some very seriously contradictory info in the OP. While castigating him for being a noob did anyone notice that he claims to have flashed the update and then reverted to stock?
This is impossible from our current understanding of how the bootloader works.
More information about the exact steps followed and the exact results at each step would be very helpful to try and figure out what really happened.
OK?
Less heat and more light...

I just got a little frustrated, as every time I open XDA today I see the same/similar post.
Cell - I didn't see in the OP where he said he flashed back. I read where he tried, but I didn't see any mention of 896.

I could not get the .893 to boot after a reboot so i used the One-click fastboot restore and root which brought back to stock but also made it so that i can no longer root. It fails every time on the local.prop process saying adb could not get root access. I did try the stock recovery and still no go. I also tried the adb fix that was posted to remove local.prop but when i tried it says file not found. I have rooted and messed with many phones in the past from Droid 1 and up and this is the first problem that i couldnt solve so as i said any help would be appreciated.
Oh and i have also tried to unroot it..it also fails at adb not being able to gain root access

This isn't going to help your current issue, but how long did you let it sit (after installing 893) before you decided it wouldn't boot? I ask because the guy who was ballsy enough to do it here said the first boot takes about 7 minutes.
EDIT: Nevermind - mine booted in 2 minutes.

it was fully booted and operational. i just did a power off after a half our or so and power back on and it just sat at the M dual core screen...i dont know why it would not boot. I tried pulling the battery. taking out the sim card and all that. the only thing that would get it booted was the One-click fastboot restore and root program so I at least have a working phone but for some reason the signal strength is horrible

Try to do the fastboot again and root it through there. Or, if you did that already (root in fastboot restore) try rooting afterwards.

Might sound dumb, but did you forget to save the chmod changes to the build file? It's a fairly easy mistake and it is the only thing I can think of.

HTC VIVID Super User Problems....

So I am a new person and therefor can not post this in the development thread under the forum where I feel it would belong with the other root related questions.... So i followed the SUPER GUIDE to root my phone (Thank you so much Slapshot and PirateGhost, I was beginning to regret not getting a skyrocket until I found your thread). My super user is running into an issue I can not seem to fix.....
Maybe this is simple or maybe I really messed something up....
Basically none of my apps have root anymore (they did at one point and to my knowledge I change nothing...)
When I go to the Super User app to update my binaries and hopefully get any issues resolved I am greeted by the following error message in the update log: "Failed to find currently installed SU binary. Update cannot continue"
Is there a resolution for this? I have not found anyone even running into the same issue on the Vivid.....
A little nervous.... I didnt have near this many issues rooting my ATRIX and modding the living daylights out of that.

Have you checked with Root Checker Basic to see if you even have Root? If you didn't follow the Super Guide step by step your phone could have relocked after you turned your phone off/on.
If it still fails to update you could try SuperUser Update Fixer.

Yes I have check with root checker.
This may be a dumb question but how do I uninstall Superuser? When I go to the typical application management it does not give me the option. I have done an install again to overwrite the files and nothing changed there.
I followed the instructions step by step (though obviously I messed up somewhere...)

Interesting... maybe your root didn't stick. We had a little trouble with that before but pirateghost fixed the CWM ROOT zip. You have a working CWM Recovery, correct?
In the superguide, I have a second option for root in case the first doesn't work. In your case, go ahead and try the second option. The one involving the supertool. That should get you perm root. If that doesn't even work, then we might have to put you back to stock and go at it again.
EDIT: BEFORE TRYING THE SUPERTOOL, try flashing the new CWM ROOT VER2 zip from CWM recovery and see if root sticks.

Slapshot, thank you for checking the General Thread, I really do appreciate that. I have tried both methods multiple times since the root failure seeing as so many people said they had to run the methods multiple times to make them stick (this admittedly may be part of the issue). The most recent one has been the CWM ROOT VER2. Still no dice. Is there a method to remove and re install super user? Or am I reading into the error too literally and instead I just basically do not have root.

No problem. At this point I think you may just not have root... but first, go ahead and go into bootloader (power off, then power on while holding power and vol down). Does your device say unlocked?

*Just a clarification*
You have to unroot your phone to get rid of it Idk why I put uninstall/reinstall earlier...still out there from last night I guess.

Yes the device still says unlocked. That was one of the first things I checked... Haha....
As I said ive flashed the rooted CWM and it says it went over successfully.
If i use the Zerg exploit it still seems to go over successfully (I realize this has a tenancy to mess with internal storage and only provide a temp root but i do not even get that temp root).
How would I unroot my device? Do you mean flash to stock and relock my boot loader?
As I said I have flashed several devices in the past (Atrix, eee pad transformer, HTC Inspire, HTC DINC, SAMSUNG GALAXY S T-Mobile) but I am not completely up to date on all of the technical terms...

[Q] Rooted and installed the ICS Rom. Can I go back to Stock if necessary?

Hello. First off, I want to thank everyone for their hard work here. I have followed many tutorials and have seen many great conversations to keep noobs like me from making mistakes when trying to delve into the world of ROMs and rooting. However, I did encounter some troubles while installing the ICS rom onto my bionic (running on .902). I think I may have accidentally overwritten the stock rom backup that I made with safe strap or whatever that app is (I'm sorry, like I said, I am a complete noob). Is there a way to restore the phone to stock, as in before I even touched it, even if the backup I made during the process is gone by my mistake?
I'm sure this has been asked a million times, and if so, I apologize, but as I noob, I have no idea how to even begin to search for clues. Walkthroughs would be nice, but links are fine too, since I'm sure there are plenty of the same questions out there.
Thanks!!!

Get on stock .902(here).
Install SafeStrap.
Backup Stock Rom by Toggling "SafeMode"
Boot up ICS.
When you want to go to Stock .902 undo "SafeMode" and the Stock Rom should boot up on Reboot

I'm sorry I probably should be a little more specific. I have both of those enabled and I do have the Motohelper drivers installed. I am following the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22758211#post22758211

I am running the ICS version cyanogen mod 9.0.0-rc0-droid_bionic-kang build number alpha_2012_02_10
I already have SafeStrap installed (used that to get this rom on). So, looks like I'm stuck on or around step 8 from the other steps posted. Once I can get past that, I can continue with the steps posted in this thread!

SafeStrap disables ADB(that Im sure of) which will not let RSD run(im pretty sure) you have to select the xml file
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

Yes, the XML file is the one I select. However, it will not do anything in RSD. Is there anything I can do to enable ADB in order to let RSD run?

Update: I found a way to do it. I think things are going okay so far. Looks like it is installing. If it does install successfully, I would like to do everything perfectly right going forward.
So, after this is installed, I will want to:
1. Get root access again using Motofail? I assume doing this return to stock will remove root access.
2. Install SafeStrap. Once that is done, I toggle Safemode to enabled, which will backup my stock rom and protect it from being overwritten?
3. Then, flash ICS from the zip files on my sdcard?

hell yes. thank you,
are you currently running any of these?
will these wipe out everything on my phone so need to back it all up right?
do i use safestrap to install this? and if so what is the link and directions for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806145 he doesnt say how to install it or what to use to install it.
and is it as smooth and everything works just with out all the unnecessary crap from verizon on there

I'm not currently running either of these, but I did use this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806145&highlight=deodexed) for a few weeks without any problems. Then I tried to switch to Eclipse and messed up, so I had to fastboot back to original stock. Haven't found a rom that I'm really excited to try so I'm sticking with stock (rooted, of course). My next attempt will probably be the JB build that hashcode is working on. Once It becomes more stable, anyways.
Yes, Use Safestrap to install, it will also allow you to back up your current system. It's pretty easy to do, just follow the directions on the post when you download the rom.
Worst case scenario, you'll have to do what I did and fastboot back to stock, but most of the time the phone will be recoverable, so have fun!

I had the same problem. Is the phone currently rooted? If not, safestrap needs root. There is a walkthrough to show you how. In my case the issue was that busybox didn't install correctly. I got JRumy's Busybox Installer from the play store and used it. Worked like a charm.

I'd make sure that root worked properly, and re-install busybox. If that doesn't work, take a look here and see if there is anything that could be of help. At worst, contact Hashcode (the developer)
