Flash SU the same way you did the first time.

I tried to deodexing using the OneClickOdexer, and it wouldnt do it. It asked me to reboot, so I did, thinking I would backup and install a custom rom. When it reboots, it stops at the 'htc quietly brillian" screen. When I try to access TWRP via hboot, it wants to run a zip as an update, but wont let me just go past it. I can run the update, then it wants to reboot. Or I dont update and it wants to reboot. No option to get to recovery.
Im running a rooted stock rom, s-off via lazy panda.
How do I get to recovery?
Never mind. I took out the SD card, the rebooted.

So I did the HTC unlock after receiving my Asurion claim (1.19 Hboot) a couple months ago. I haven't messed around with it much because I've been busy irl. I installed TWRP, Fresh, and just recently the "deSensed ICS ~ Dialer, Tumblers & Apps! -Updated Mean4.4 & Goodies2.11!" theme. Now I've been thinking I'd really like to just flash CM10 now that it's starting to mature so I installed TB and it wasn't able to gain root access (tried a couple different SU apps). I checked several other apps and none were able to gain root (ES file explorer, Quick Boot, Root Explorer, etc). I originally thought that the issue was the fact I flashed Fresh over the stock rom after just wiping Cache but I just wiped everything (Cache, Dalvik, System, Factory Reset, in that order), flashed a newly downloaded Fresh rom, and downloaded TB and got the same "Root Access: Failed" error. I'm at a loss. I'm running Fresh, I have TWRP installed, but I have no root access. Any help would be appreciated.

try root checker basic from the playstore to confirm you are rooted but it doesn't make sense the you can have twrp and flash fresh without root
Sounds like your Su binaries may have got messed up. Try using only one Su and see if that works. You may need to flag Su in twrp

That's what I'm saying, it doesn't make sense.Root Checker gave me "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access"

I had the SU that comes in Fresh installed and it wasn't working so last night I installed a different one from the market, that didn't work either, uninstalled. I tried updating binaries on one (couldn't find the option to do it on the other) and that worked fine but it failed to gain root.
Just now I fixed Permissions via TWRP, deleted the SU that comes with Fresh via TWRP, uninstalled and reinstalled the other SU with the same results.
Try going into su and check grant permissions automatically and make sure fastboot is unchecked.....see if that helps

HUH?
I tried re-locking and doing the HTC unlock again. I restored my Fresh nandroid and I have the same results. I'll try re-locking and unlocking again when I get a chance and this time I'll see if SU works before restoring.
I have same issues. Adaway and wifi tether both say I have no root. Running meanRom 4.6 with s-on. Will be watching thread for hopeful fix.

I actually unlocked my phone last night 10-17-12 using htcdev (still S-on)... Everything was and still is stock and TB, Adfree and tether tells me I'm not rooted... Was wondering the same thing.

Did you flash superuser in recovery?

Can I have a link to a flashable one, the one from market isn't cutting it?
Hit it twice and make it count.
Unlocked does not give you root. It enables you to install a Rom with root access or install superuser. If you are unlocked and have installed a custom Rom with root support, you should already have superuser in the app drawer. Update whatever superuser app you have to the newest, and reboot.

Hello, I just upgraded to the new droid DNA on 1-13-2013. I got the bootloader unlocked and flashed the recovery without problems but, when I flashed the superuser files using recovery it fails and says md5 file or something like that was not found but with the failure to install, it still put the superuser, su and busybox files in the correct sytem folders. I booted my device and open supersu and it said I need to update the su file but that update failed too. I also did a full stock restore to see how it goes for me beause I hear people say once you do that you can't
re-unlock the bootloader but, I got the bootloader re-unlocked witout problems. I wanted to add that because people was asking if any body else was having problems re-unlocking. What I want to know is how can I get root? I still have my bootloader unlocked. Can I install a pre rooted stock rom using custom recovery or will that fail too since I cant get the supersu installed successfully?

Go check out the ROMs in the Android Development Section. Most, if not all, of the ROMs have the superuser and BusyBox built in. Try UKB.
Cheers!
Thanks, I did that but when I went to install it the install started but it didn't go through. The install started for about 1 second and it just just booted me. I had to rerun the full RUU.exe i found in the xda forum to reinstall. The only thing I want to do is just root to be able to delete bloat. I hope somebody comes out with a way to root without having to unlock boot loaders.

I have experience rooting in the past but not on this phone.
I tried rooting using the manual method a couple months ago and it did not go all the way through. At one point during the root process when I had to reboot into the bootloader manually the phone entirely rebooted since the evo lte is kind of a pain to reboot into the bootloader.
Now it seems I am in a state of limbo as the phone actually has a recovery on it, but it is not rooted as i tried to use titanium backup. I have also tried to use the regawmod now that it works with version 22.13.651.1 but I can an unhandled exception error after pressing the root me button.
I assume something isnt playing nice with each other since my first attempt at rooting didnt go all the way through but did install the recovery. I actually tried to install the newest sprint update and it got stuck popping up the custom recovery. I think it would be best to revert back to completely stock and try again but i am not sure how to do so. appreciate any help!
If you have custom recovery, flash a rooted ROM to gain root access

I didnt realize that would actually work! When it popped up in recovery I could go to install from sdcard I just wasnt sure if there would be consequences doing so. So I could reboot into the bootloader, go into recovery and flash a rooted rom from there just like always and it would give me root? That would be awesome

Yes, that's right!
I took the OTA from last week and rooted it. Yesterday, it seems I've lost root possibly. When I open Titanium Backup, I get the message "sorry, I could not acquire root priveleges...........this attempt was made using the " /system/xbin/su" command". So, what's going on?

Some programs that you install are not KK friendly, it has happened to me a couple times, did you do a backup, if so, flash it, if not, just Odin the root tar again.

I believe I still have root (Adaway and Root Explorer apps still work), but all of a sudden, TB isn't working.
Well, I found a thread about adding a line to a particular .xml file for writing to sdcard........rebooted and TB is working fine.
Also sometimes this happens depending what recovery you are using when you wipe everything. You can boot into your recovery and hit reroot and usually this will fix it also.
That's good to know, thanks.
