[Q] Newb issues rooting nexusone

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section, this is my first question. So I decided to finally root my nexus one, mostly to take advantage of the newly integrated wi-fi calling feature in the new cyanmod. i was able to unlock it through fastboot, it now shows the lock when the phone boots up, but it doesnt appear to be unlocked. apps requiring root like rom manager, setcpu, etc. don't seem to be detecting that the phone is rooted. when i first open rom manager i get the message "you must root your phone for rom manager to function. superuser wasnot found at "/system/bim/su" or "/system/xbin/su". use google search on your computerto find instructions on how to root your phone." then when i select to flash a rom it says "an error occurred while attemping to run privileged commands". i tried uninstalling and reinstalling rom manager, rebooting, etc.. no luck. i've been searching threads for hours. please help!

You haven't rooted your phone.
Unlocking the bootloader just allows you to install unofficial images. You can now install a rooted image, to save yourself the trouble of having to root one.
First thing you probably want to do is install a custom recovery, which can then be used to make backups and install custom ROMs, etc.
Go find a custom recovery (look in the wiki), and install via fastboot. Stay away from Clockwork 3.xx...

mm installing a recovery will not root the phone either...
You need to root the phone (superoneclick works well)

If the bootloader is unlocked, you don't need to root the current ROM, unless you plan on keeping it, which the OP obviously doesn't (because why else would anyone download ROM Manager?)...
With an unlocked bootloader you can just flash any system image you want. You probably still want a custom recovery though, so you might as well flash recovery first, and then use that to flash ROMs...

thought it was okkay if you are directly flashing 3.something and not upgrading it from a previous release?
Amon RA is the best though...

[Q] help - no su binary installed?

i have previously unlocked bootloader and rooted my device using the Hasoons all in one tool kit and then had been using ard 12.1.
I then fancied trying the latest GE 4.3 release (stock) which i downloaded and flashed and all seemed fine however when i went to check root was still there i have the icon but get a message saying that there is no su binary installed. I have tried to use the toolkit again to go back the root procedure in the hope i can re-install what ever is missing however for some reason now the tool kit comes up with an error message in the box saying waiting for device or device not recognized.
I have tried to sort the problem but now feel i am just going round and around in circles and really dont have the knowledge to put it right as im quite new to the flashing and modding side and dont fully understand all the terminology, im sure its probably something really simple to fix for those who know how so would really appreciate some advice.
My overall aim would be to be running the stock rom (or might even try the new arhd 4.3 ge) with root so that i can then use the volume + to wake mod as i find this really usefull as my power button is quite depressed and hard to use.

hello you are in need of the new 4.3 superuser.zip
http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/superuser-4.3-beta3.zip
if you are using CWM, when it asks to fix su upon reboot, select NO

Wow thank you!!!!!
You have no clue, or maybe you do, how lost I got trying to root my HTC One. This is all new to me, but this forum has helped massively. I found that the supersu zip I had was the older version when I already had 4.3 uploaded before rooting. This community rocks!

why do my gapps processes keep crashing?
NM forgot to full wipe

So I have the same issue - my only question is that I am running 4.4 now. Does this super user file still work or is there a 4.4 version?

Just use "SuperSu" if you face any root acces issues

Hi there, Im new to the rooting world, I have a htc one m7 from sprint trying to sim unlock it, as far as I know I unlocked the bootloader, tampered it, and rooted, but no access to super user so I can sim unlock it. I downloaded and installed this App that you mention, but still keeps saying no binary updated, and with this 4.3 version says there was an error installing superuser. Please help, I dont know what to do.

I was having this same issue on my Note 2 (4.3). I seem to have found a way to restore root that may help you as well.
I think this issue may be caused by the SU app & binary updates. Uninstalling the updates has restored root for me.
Go to:
​Settings > More > Application Manager > All > SuperSU > Uninstall updates
​(menu options may be slightly different on other devices)
This will roll back SuperSU and hopefully restore your root access.
Let me know if this helps.

Any updates on this? I'm trying to get root on an HTC One M7 that I just purchased and I'm running into the same error.
Thanks!

Root error

Hello, I've been wanting to root my HTC One for a while and now I actually sat down and began searching for guides etc and I went on htconeroot.com and used their guide but whenever I try to even finish the first step, I get the message "adb unable to connect for backup"
this makes 0 sense to my mind as I've never really tried modifying things in batch before, I just want to root it so I can use the google rom
relevant information: stock android 4.3 sense 5.5, using pc with w8
guide I used but didn't work due to bat message: htconeroot.com/ htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-windowsmaclinux
edit: testing with hasoon200 toolkit I can't get past token ID cause it says error device offline

Did you tried the official XDA method? Very easy.

Im also having problems with rooting. I unlocked my bootloader, instaled twrp and even installed the viper rom. After going back to my recovery of the original rom, Im having problems with root, cant install any rom and when i try to re root it, console shows me error:device offline. I updated all of the drivers. I used All in one kit by hasoon2000 for everything. Any ideas anyone?

Tnx, Ill try that

Is rooting really that good?

I rooted my phone a week ago, I kept with the stock Rom for a few days, then installed a Renovate sense 6 Rom which seemed to work well. I had SuperSU installed, plus a few other apps, but then all of a sudden I got an error message when trying to open SuperSU saying the binary was missing, so I downloaded a root checker which said I wasn't fully rooted! After looking on the forums to find a solution I relocked my boot loader and unrooted the phone. Trying to find a stock RUU for my phone ( unlocked Europe version ) was a bloody nightmare. Also getting it to install on my phone was a pain, but probably more to do with my computer having a slow moment.
Is it really worth all the hassle when I can all go wrong in a couple of days ?
Don't think I'll be re routing again any time soon

Well it's like anything. If you don't know why you need something you probably don't need it

the phone never come unrooted .. you never had root installed properly
when it's flashed correctly from recovery it will not just go away
http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU
Flash that from recovery and you'll be rooted

I had SuperSU installed, everything was fine, anything I did with the phone worked. After a week it said the SU binaries were missing, and you couldn't get into SuperSU to do anything, but previously you could. If the phone was never rooted correctly like you say, i would have had this problem from the start.
Also after rooting I used a root checker which said I was rooted, but after this Su binary issue started, it said I wasn't rooted.
Still, I'm back to unrooted now, and the only reason I did it was to get Sense 6, which has since come out as an update, so I'm no worse off

This is a rom issue not a root issue. Could have also been an issue with the kernel. To be honest if you dont really use the root functions then there maybe no need for you to have it. To be honest most people dont really need root. They just wanna seem cool with some things they can show off on their device instead of using it for anything important or handy. I would advice to judge for yourself. Take the extra options/security risk and weigh it against remaining stock which has less options/secure.

I agree with the previous post, if you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it. As far as SuperSu disappearing, it sounds like either you didn't install it correctly or something changed. The ideal way to install SuperSu is to install via the recovery. And even so, if you reinstall your OS, you will need to reinstall SuperSu. Software does not simply disappear, something had to be done to hasten it's departure. An easy fix to your issue would have been to download the SuperSu zip package from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu, and install it via your recovery. What I personally don't like about locking a bootloader is that now it says TAMPERED at the top of the screen.

Your issues seem to be with the restoring to stock process which HTC do make a bit convoluted, triggered by the root error not rooting itself.
Now to answer your question: My main reason for rooting is I want to take fine grained backups. Second is lots of clever people have come up with mods and improvements I like to install over the stock Sense ROM.
If you don't need anything that needs root, no need to root. Simple as that.

[Q] Having problems when trying to ROOT Moto G LTE x1040

Hi, I'm relatively new to this forum and I've been trying almost all day to root my phone...
First, I had problems trying to get a working recovery (they just crashed to random colors/or loaded fine and then rebooted like nothing happened). Tried with CWM Recovery but it seems this model is not supported atm, tried with TWRP v2.8.3.0 and also crashes... ATM the only custom recovery that has started without going haywire is TWRP v2.8.0.0 (at least for my phone).
I prefered using 'fastboot boot recovery.img' before 'flash' since it's the first time I'm trying to root a phone. The recovery mode starts okay and I also placed the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip in the internal storage before hand. I try to install the .zip file and all goes well, no errors and a blue 'Successful' message. This is where the 'root' procedure fails. Since you can reboot or go home to check other stuff I just tried rebooting the first time and it asked me that I had a SuperSU in the device and that if I wanted to install it to have root. I obviously swiped to install it and it displayed for a split of a second the window from before and just shut down and rebooted...
I tried several other methods to try and root my phone after this failure, but none worked. I checked again if trying this procedure would serve a purpose but I got the same thing always. But since I saw the process so many times I could see for a moment a red line saying something like 'E: failed to copy su binary to /system/bin (...)' but couldn't read more because it was a split of a second there xD. I googled this weird error and I found that my /system is in read only state and not writtable... But to change it to writtable I need root too it seems <_<)
So, any help? I'm sorry if this long text makes someone just look away but I don't really know how to explain my problem in more simple words xD. Any help will be appreciated .
EDIT: Forgot to say that my phone has its bootloader unlocked already and it has USB Debugging enabled.
Moto G LTE x1040
System version (as my phone says) 21.31.1.peregrine.retla.retla.en.01 entcl
Build: KXB21.14-L1.56-1
OS: KitKat 4.4.4

Any help ?
Bump.

Bump. Tried with CF Root by Chainfire but no root gained =/ .
