About restoring a bakcup on the unofficial CM9

I made a bakcup with ROM manager but when I try to flash it, it says it doesn't have the neccesary permissions to do it. The rom is not root enabled by default, so I guess there's that.
I can't flash it through CWM because it just says "files not found". Any help?.

Our CM9 rom isn't rooted ? I'm sure it is, just check it...
How did you try to flash it ? Via backup or via flash zip ?

Both.

Which version of CWM Recovery do you run ?
I've experienced issues on Tantrums Touch Mod...

5.0.2.6

without root
As was mentioned before, you can't do a backup without Root Permissions.

No, HotFix1 should repair SU but it doesn't.

Well then, I guess I have to wait for the new fix. Thanks for the anwers!.

Just reboot in recovery and do the back up restoration from there.

I can't. You do know that CWM stands for "ClockworkMod" right? (which is the recovery mode).
EDIT: I managed to restore the backup with a different superuser fix. Look for it on the CM9 thread.

I do know what CWM stands for and that's why i did that suggestion. Even though the first build didn't have fully working SU it still had the option to reboot in recovery. When you choose reboot there was reboot and recovery option.
I just happened to do the very suggested thing myself .

flash the .zip that is page of that thread (linked below) and your SU sholud be working, another option is to upgarde to nightly #2 (previos full wipes in CWM) wich comes with SU working

[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
https://hotfile.com/dl/180452656/3c2538d/gingerbred-2.3.6-root.zip.html

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.

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...

Hey, but when I have got CWM flashed, can I flash a custom ROM without those binaries? I just wanted to root my Ace because I wanted to have ICS.

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.

refreshing, waiting for help

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.

You couldn't find anything helpful in forums? weird
Use Easy root toolkit or gifroot ( its new and I have not tested it ) . Also, you need to download latest SuperSU from chainfire site and put it on sd card
Flash 230 kernel using flashtool
Root using above mentioned methods.
Install recovery. example, NUT's dual recovery latest 2.8.2. You need to download installer zip and not the flashable zip.
After installing the recovery, check the phone reboots into philz touch recovery.
Chose to install zip and select SuperSU 2.XX zip file. Flash the zip
Reboot the phone and check root access.
Flash 283 kernel using flashtool

easy tool rootkit?
I tried this too but im stuck on deamom started successfully. I tried reinstall and instakl abd fastboot driver. And i cant use any recovery tool it ask for root.

touch recovery
And how to boot into touch recovery. As im using easy root toolkit on. 283 kernal should i have to flask. 230 kernal then easy root toolkit will work? I mean are u sure it wontbstuck on deamon started successfully.? Btw i already habe superuser as my system app i cant uninstall it, but it not updating or giving any app access.
And one more thing my wifi dontbturn on when i flash. 230 kernal ftf file.

Just follow the steps I mentioned.
You can not directly root 283. You will have to flash 230 kernel.
Then Root > Install recovery > at the end of installation of recovery phone will automatically boot into recovery mode.
Then flash latest SuperSU 2.40 zip from recovery menu.
after that check root access with root checker app. Then flash the 283 kernel

kernel device not supported
K after flash I try to root but it say ur kernel device not supported. Also my wifi not work when I flash. 230 so how to I install recovery.
And when I use one click root toolkit it stuck on season started successfully, and on giefroot deacon started but after few process it say kernel devices not supported.

May be you are doing something wrong because I have mentioned the steps which I used multiple times.
Check USB debugging is enabled in settings > developer options. and Unknown Sources enabled in settings >security
when easy root tool is started, you will see a prompt on phone. keep eye on that because disappears quickly.

thanx i rooted
Bro, thanx a lot i rooted my phone now, mistake was one click root toolkit or geofroot not work. After flash i root with towelroot and then update super su i didnt do any recovery reboot. Just grant access in flashtool.
Again thanx.
