Rooted last night, superuser was working fine but this morning I lost all superuser access. Uninstalled SU and reinstalled it. Rom manager gained access but others won't. Now even when I try to flash CWM recovery it says "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!". Any ideas?
you might have to look in this thread, and get the working SU that way

Thanks, I was reading over that a few minutes ago. I'll give it a try
Tried to flash that patch but I can't boot into recovery. It boots into the bootloader, I select recovery and it just goes back to the white bootloader screen. Am I missing something?
since su works with rom manager, press menu and clear cache and try to push clockwork back on your phone. also there is a option to wipe clockwork mod everytiem you update it. alot of people have success with that.

I did that, rebooted like 10 times trying to get into recovery and for some reason I know have su permissions again.... I dunno what happened.
But how do I get into cwm to install rom's and backup/restore? I keep getting the white bootloader screen for some reason.
Sorry, double post....

there is an option in rom manager to boot into clockwork recovery, but i edited my last post.. maybe you need to push clockwork again if it isnt going into recovery the manual way, might not be loading the files properly

Seems like something might have gotten messed up. Now I lost all su permissions again. lol. I probably should unroot and do the process over again. I've tried the option in rom manager but it takes me to the bootloader screen and when I select recovery it just takes me right back.
I also had this same exact problem. The reason was I had messed something up during the root process. What happened to me is I switched the RUU's around and ended up with the wrong one. My opinion would be to re-root using the original ADB method and make sure you are using the correct RUU. If you need assistance just PM me and I will guide you step through step to re-rooting your T-Bolt.

I thought for sure I used the right RUU files but it was late so I could have messed up. I would appreciate any help, I used the windows one click method. Not too familar with ADB but I have played with it a lil. PM me when ever you get a chance. Thanks bro.
Mad props to stedrocklp for all the help last night. The help that people give on this site is why it's the best.
Okay so I installed a gingerbread ROM that keeps getting stuck at the boot screen. Yes, I installed the radio first and took all the correct steps.
But now I'm trying to simply boot into recovery to flash my backup of my other gingerbread ROM that actually worked. I boot into bootloader and it automatically tries updating the radio and there is no possible way to boot into recovery.
I don't know what to do.
When it asks you to install update, what if you say no, then you should be able to boot into recovery from the bootloader.
Sucks you're having issues.

Like g00s3y said, you must first remove the file you were trying (or successfully) flashed off your sd card. It's always best to remove this file once youre done with it. In your case you will probably need to use a sd card reader unless you can get your phone to mount.

I got the exact same problem
I ran into the same problem last night. I hooked my phone up to my laptop which has adb installed. When you're stuck at the start up screen, in a command prompt just type:
adb devices
You should see your phone show up under devices. If it shows up, then just type:
adb reboot recovery
This will get you into your recovery, and I just started the whole process over again. The 2nd time through everything worked great.
Hope this helps. (my phone wouldn't hard boot in to recovery, which I'm assuming is your problems also)
To hard boot into recovery, just hold the volume up key and turn the phone on. (correct me if I'm wrong)
Now I went and did it!
OK, so I was loading a new ROM and something went terribly wrong. I got stuck on the HTC, quietly brilliant screen. I then tried to boot into recovery thinking I would just restore the back up I had made and for some reason it jumped right to the HBoot and ran through some sequence of commands. Next thing I know I don't have root! So I'm screwing around trying to get adb to work on my computer and having problems with that. I try to recover again on the phone (power button and down volume) and notice that I still have s-off. Doesn't that mean I have root? But I also can't find a super user on the phone and none of my 'rooted' only programs work, they all say I don't have root. What do I do now?
Hboot is vol down and power.. not recovery. What that did was look for an update file on your SD card and flashed it. When you rooted your phone did you use the 1 click root? If so you probably just need to do step 3 again.. which gives you root and the super user app.. hopefully that's all it takes. When your done go into your SD card and remove the PG05 (there's more to the name don't have the whole file name memorized) zip file that's on there so it doesn't happen again

You will have to re-root now. This should teach you to be more careful and not just go randomly flashing and updating things. Read up some more before just trying things.
Yeah probably like he said your best bet is to re do the whole process.. Idk what you flashed on your phone or anything so just be careful and do your research before jumping into things.

When flashing a new rom make sure you check the md5sum. You can do this in adb or dl a program, just google it. If the md5sum comes back with the correct number then you know the dl isn't corrupted and you have the correct dl.
But as far as your current problem, you need to re-root.
Research your steps before you do them. I'm NOT a fan of 1-click. If you do it manually, and one step seems not to go right, then stop and ask on the forums. Someone should respond.
I was helping a buddy root his Evo 3D today. We managed to get S-off, but couldn't get Clockwork mod to install. Later I realized that his PC was not recognizing his 3vo. Installed the HTC drivers, still same problem. Installed HTC Sync, still the same. Now I can't do anything to his phone.
To make matters worse, he can't surf online. The phone boots up just fine, and the boot loader is unlocked, but this is where we currently stand.
Try to flash TWRP:
[RECOVERY] [EVO3D] TeamWin Recovery Project
Just dl the .zip file, rename it to PG86IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card. Then boot into bootloader (either through adb or take battery out, put back in and hold power + vol down). Then once it loads into bootloader (not fastboot) it will auto detect the .zip and ask you to update. Press vol up to say yes, wait for it to finish.
Now you'll have a working recovery, you can flash other already rooted ROMs using the flash zip utility in the recovery or if you just want to root the default ROM you have to flash this zip file with the 'flash zip' under recovery.
Is there supposed to be a root folder, or do I just simply place the main directory.
We placed the .zip file, after it was renamed into the main directory of the 3vo. Booted into HBOOT, but nothing happened. We were not prompted, just sat there in the HBOOT screen.

Weird, for some reason, going directly through the link that you provided worked. So now we have twrp on the phone. The 3vo recognized it, updated, but now still no phone or internet use.
Do I use twrp as a recovery? If so how? Should there be a twrp app now? Or do I just go back through HBOOT and select recovery from there?

This might not help but try wiping the Dalvik Cache first. If that doesnt help, do a full wipe (factory reset/data wipe), install the ROM again and try that.
Theres no app that will show so go through HBOOT, select recovery (it will look like it is rebooting but it isn't - it is loading the recovery), then choose the backup/restore option.
Alternatively if the ROM you are using has 4 way reboot you can use that to boot directly into recovery.
EDIT: yes twrp is recovery.

There's a Su.zip Signed and Another version that's Unsigned!

:NOW COMPLETE:
I would like to thank everyone that helped.
Switched PCs. Installed HTC drivers on 2nd PC, worked. Then went through the same root process. All done. I only with that veterans would also inform new root users that 'Error 16' will happen once the phone is rooted. All I had to do was call the provider and all was squared away.
Got one for you now. I was able to get my buddy's phone back. Seems that he can't remember his gmail PW. He swears that the PW he is giving me is correct, but he can't get in, not even through a PC. This blows, as he cannot use the market without a valid GM account. Not even getting a new GM account solves the problem. So I did some research and it seems that the original GM account associated wtih the phone cannot associate anymore, and trying to get a new GM account will not solve the issue. So if PW is incorrect, I'm assuming that the only thing that can be done is to reset the phone back to factory. My question is, doing so will cause me to update the phone to the newest version 1.50+. In doing so, no more root.
Are there any other options?
Going into setings and doing a factor reset doesn't update your phone to the 1.50 hboot and you don't lose root. Just flash a ROM that's updated to the latest ota I'm on clean ROM it runs perfect smooth as butter and don't forget to nandroid

I have the HTC Rezound with the recently released O.T.A. ICS from Verizon. My objective is to root the phone and kill all of the B.S. bloatware that Verizon feels they must add to the phone. I have posted before to ask how to do this and everyone says root the phone and kill the apk files or alternatively Root the phone and download Rom Toolbox then kill it from there. I have gone through and followed the "[GUIDE] Super-noob guide to unlocking, rooting, and flashing Ziggys kernel" to the 'T' up until its time to load the Kernel. I do not want to change the Kernel so my qquestion is:
If i have gone through the process of rooting my phone it should be rooted at this point. However when I run Root Check Basic it tells me "Sorry this device does not have proper root access." I do not understand why. In order to get full root access am i going to have to continue with installing the Kernel.
Is there anybody who could help me. I am missing.

1. Wrong section. Please post things like this in the general or q&a sections, not flaming, just telling you for future references.
2. If your device has an unlocked bootloader, flash amon ra recovery or twrp and go to the dev menu and it will say something like give Su permissions or root or whatever, just click that.
3. Profit.
4. You're welcome.
To root you should download the latest version of SuperSU zip file, and flash it with anon RA recovery.

You do not need to root your phone to get rid of the bloatware, you can keep your phone stock unrooted and debloat it yourself and not have to worry about flashing anything. To disable go to menu>apps and after clicking an app you see the choice of disabling.
SuperSU not working
I don't know why i cant get this to work. I have flashed the amon recovery to my phone. Followed these steps:
1)Flash AmonRa Recovery.
2) Boot into AmonRa Recovery.
3) Scroll to and enter the Developer menu.
4) Scroll to install Su. DO NOT INSTALL THE ENG (Unguarded) one. Use the other one.
5) Confirm this, when it is finished, go ahead and reboot. You should be rooted.
Downloaded the SuperSU from google play and select install. after a few minutes it comes back and says the SU binert needs updated, I select continue. then after about a minute it says installation failed.

Flash in recovery. If you have already flashed a custom recovery(amon ra) then pull your battery, hold out for 3 seconds, insert battery, hold vol down and power at same time til bootloader boots, select recovery, select flash zip menu, select sdcard(assuming you placed flashed zip on external sdcard), select file, press power to confirm, reboot when done. Now you should be rooted.

Hello XDA members,
I was hoping somebody would help me out, I'm fairly new when it comes to installing custom roms so I require your patience. I don't know how to install a custom rom onto my Bell Atrix HD MB886, everytime I try it says abortion failed, what can I do to fix this. I have wiped data and all that probably 5 times in the past week alone. I would like to know how to successfully install roms without errors. Both the times that I have done this I had my bootloader unlocked, and I had clockword recovery mod latest version 6.0.4.4. I bought an SD card today to help install the roms because otherwise I can't do it from my internal storage. I really hope somebody can help me out.
Regards,
Roger

Hi there. A failed abortion certainly seems like an issue... I guess I am not totally clear on the status here. You say that you had CWM. Do you still have it? Bootloader is still unlocked? What rom are you trying to install? Are you certain it's for the Bell version and not like the AT&T one? What is the exact error message?

No I don't have it atm as I just wiped the data/cache last night but will I already have CWM, I just need to unlock the bootloader and try again...I'm trying to install this one:
Android 4.4.2 KitKat Mokee Rom, and it says the version is a nightly. Yes I'm positive it's the Bell Version as I purchased it at a Bell Store and my carrier is Bell. The error message is "Installation Aborted." It begins installing, and then halfway through I get that error message. How do I fix this?
I figured you knew what phone you had. I was wondering if you had a rom built for the Bell version vs an ATT one. But since you are using a CM based rom, it obviously doesn't matter. Curious as to why you are bothering with relocking the bootloader? But I suggest to either try a different version of the rom, or to change your recovery to one of the Philz Touch versions as that's what some of the other users in that thread for the rom for your phone were using. You can find them here:

No I was bothering to unlock it again, not lock it. Where can I find different versions for the 4.4.2 Mokee Rom?

Okay so I'm trying it now and the program won't even open :/
Odd. I just downloaded it to test and I didn't have any issues. If you can't get the actual application / exe file to open, then just use the Main-Skip.bat. Does the same thing.
If it doesn't open still, make sure that you have your anti-virus off as sometimes those interfere with programs like this. Might also try as admin.

So again, how do I fix this, am I doing something wrong? Why won't my custom rom install?

I don't think that is the most updated version. What's the version number of the recovery that was installed? It should be listed on the main page of it when you boot there. I was suggesting to use one of the new ones. It might have something to do with the SELinux support that KK roms need. You just have to put the img file in the tools folder and rename the new one the same. But here's no other error that shows up other than Installation Aborted? I was thinking usually it would have an error code or some other message.Have you checked the md5 of the rom zip to make sure it's not corrupted (if the dev provided it)?

Use one of the new versions of that program or to use the latest CWM which I have been. Okay I really don't know how to do that and where to move it to, how do I do such a thing? No it just says Installation Aborted... How would I do that? And yes I downloaded the new rom directly from his site.

Look in the tools folder of the zip you downloaded. Download the newest Philz Touch img from the other link from earlier. Rename it to replace the one in the tools folder. Redo the recovery install. But you didn't say what version you already have.

Okay that did the trick, properly got philz recovery installed, did the install again, this time it worked, clicked reboot and now it's stuck at the Dual Core bootlogo screen

Did you do a full wipe, including wiping /system?
If you didn't, it should be under Mounts and Storage > Format /system of something of that sort.

Pop the battery out for a bit, then pop it back in and hold Volume Down while powering up. Should get you into fastboot where you can skip to the recovery.

The battery doesn't come out of my phone as you can't take the back off. I got into fast boot easily them selected recovery and nothing happened, I think my phone is screwed

Oh yea, forgot you have to undo the screws on the bottom. So you scroll down to hit recovery and use the Power button to select and it doesn't do anything? That's odd.. Try and reflash the recovery since you can still get to fastboot. If that doesn't work, you're not totally screwed since you can still get to fastboot, that means you should be able to restore it to stock and start over.
Alternatively, if you have fastboot set up, you could make sure that philz touch is in the fastboot folder and use this command:
fastboot boot recovery nameofphilztouchfile.img
If you don't have fastboot, then just grab this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 , drop the recovery img in that folder and open the CMD prompt on your computer and change directories to it and run the command.
