[Q] Sudden lost of root access Milestone

Hey guys,
I've been messing around with my phone trying out nadlabak's CM6 for milestone. After removing it (because of lack of apps2ext) i flashed my nandroid recovery back (GOT android 2.1 with root) but somehow I seem to have lost my root access.
The superuser.apk is still present, and opens listing apps granted access, but all my other apps that require root (setcpu, titanium backup, autostarts etc) does not have root access.
I currently use Androliani's recovery but running the root script causes my phone to hang.
Any idea why / solutions?

You need to root again your milestone by using z4root. After that all your required root apps can be used. I'm sure you know how to install this app,right?
Just place the app at the root of your sdcard,ON the phone and use app installer,or open astro file,etc to install the app.

[Q] Can't delete s_volt_scheduler from /etc/init.d

I've moved to SuckerPunch's 1.4ghz OC/UV kernel, and I need to remove the old s_volt_scheduler from /etc/init.d in order to stop Xan's app and SetCPU from FCing all the time.
Any ideas on how to do this? I've tried Astro and it gives a permission denied, and when I mount the phone thru USB I can't even seem to find the appropriate directory in Windows Explorer.
Thanks for any help or ideas you could provide on how to remove these files, or grant permission to them so I can remove them. I am rooted, running Phoenix 4.5.

Root Explorer app?
And SGS Tools allows you to grant permissions I believe.

SGS Tools was a no-go. Got the .apk for Root Explorer, sideloaded, worked like a charm. The issue was that the filesystem was loaded as readonly, root explorer allows you to mount as read/write.
Thanks.

root explorer is the first application i install everytime i reflash my rom.

Definitely keeping it on the "must have" apps for each time I reflash. Completely annihilates Astro.
Thanks again, guys.

Lost root and cant re-root

I had my phone rooted and all working fine on Nougat. I then tried installing secure settings for Tasker and since around this time, i've lost root and if i try flashing super su in TWRP, each time i boot and check i'm not rooted. If i open Super Su app it tells me that the framework needs to be updated and to reboot, i do this and it just keeps telling me the same.
The only thing i am thinking may have broken this is i found a guide to get Secure Settings working on nougat where someone suggested creating a folder with root file explorer called 'su' in system/bin. Now when i open up Titanium Backup it tells me it could not acquire root and say the attempt was made using the "/system/bin/su" command which im thinking means it's looking somewhere there is an empty folder?
I cant now of course delete the system/bin/su folder i created as i cant enable root in File Explorer so i'm pretty stuck and not sure what i can do. I've tried the cleanup and full unroot in the supersu app and then flashing supersu in twrp again but still says no root when i check
Any suggestions?

This post was a bit more informative than your "my device unrooted itself" post in the stable thread.
Dirty flash your system or use the file manager in TWRP to remove the offending folder.

I was thinking of trying that but fixed it a different way as I just posted in the SuperSU thread. But in case anyone else ever has this problem...
I fixed my issue. By disabling SuperSU and enabling again from the app settings and it gave me root. I then deleted a created su folder in system/bin that I manually created earlier when trying to get secure settings working.

HELP with space on Root Directory

Hello, im new at root, after following all the steps, and installing the TWRP, I need to move a GPS Joystick application to the system applications. but it says I don't have space. I've tried everything, can someone help me please? thank you

I'd say that's a permission issue. What utility are you using to copy the file to a root location?
