Alright, i have run into a problem.
I bricked my phone a while back so i flashed back to stock through ODIN. I used z4 root the first time i flashed so i used it again and everything seemed fine. i installed rom manager TB and everything was working fine. THEN, i flashed CyanogenMod- Trigger Redux build 17 through recovery.
Everything seemed fine at first, superuser was installed and i could grant permissions, CWMrecovery was working and everything was great.. but then...idk hooowwww, but busybox just didnt work and it said i wasnt rooted. TB stopped working. and all my other root needed apps didnt work because BusyBox wasnt running because of my missing root.
but recovery still works, superuser still works and gives me super user rights, and my rom still runs perfectly so ive been avoiding asking questions til now.
i heard to try fixing permissions and still no go. and z4 root wont work now (of course)
So i guess my question is: whats going on? do i have a bad root, did i not root completely, should i reroo?(if so, what method) what should i do?
If anyone knows what i should/could do please let me know.
Sorry for the noobness..
i also need some kernel info, but that can wait
Android version:
2.3.5
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7
Mod version:
CyonogenMod-Trigger Redux-build-17
try re-rooting with superonelick(latest version)
Flash the latest trigger. No data should be lost if you are running it.

If the problem persists (it won't) then download busybox from the market.
Worst case, use my noob guide to Odin and flash trigger.... 15 minutes tops
Oh, drhonks kernel, Bali is amazing with trigger
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181167
Thanks! I will give that a try tomorrow!
And I've looked at Bali and heard good things. Could I flash it without re-flashing trigger and "being rooted"

Yes, but you need to update trigger. It doesn't wipe.
Alriiiight
Once again, Thank you!

I would like to start a thread for things that have been discovered using the gingerbread leak. I can't add to the post in the development section and I dont really think its the right place. I flashed the zip posted in the dev thread. If you wipe the data before flashing then it doesn't work as the set up will try to run and will force close. I found that the super user app force closed quite abit and that it started if open from within the market. I could not get root explorer to work at all. The biggest issue I had was that it would find the sim card im unsure if this bug was intentional to prevent people using the test release. I assume that it is also related to not having a imei number while using this rom.

Well, you got a bad flash. The SIM is working and IMEI is there as well. In fact, pretty much everything seems to be working except it cannot be rooted.
I made a succesfull instalation too, but got the same problem: not root at all. I tried z4root, gingerbreak and superoneclick.
Any other idea on how to root the device?
But Andy said his rom is rooted??

His rom is rooted I guess there is a gingerbread leak over the Internet which is fake...the OP flashed that leak rom.
I thought you must be aware of the new rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115487
People, if you want to try the russian leak... first, you must flash it via the EXE provided on that site. Otherwise, no GSM!!!
Then, root it like this:
Code:
> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
Reboot device. Then, you need to remount /system rw, adb push flash_image binary on it and AmonRa recovery image, flash it, reboot to recovery. Now, you can flash it once again with the ZIP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14546945&postcount=132)
Now, you will have it rooted. Notes:
- WiFi unstable
- rooting semi-unusable, highly annoying toolbox binary nonsense sticked there by LG which is probably causing this, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14553363&postcount=154 (Edit: confirmed bug by andy)
- generally, not worth the hassle
- to go back, you must use KDZ to restore stock 2.2.x ROM, otherwise, no GSM!!!
Be prepared you will end up messing with emergency mode a couple of times as well. Chances to brick your phone completely. Not for the faint-hearted people really.
I flashed the first zip that was released for recovery, There is normally a force close from the set up app when this is done this way though, but I got around this by not clearing the data and hence it already having the data and the app not running. Maybe flashing the zip with out wiping gave me other errors. Andys zip has got around the set up FC by removing it, it also has root like the one I flashed. I found the wifi stable though for the little time I used it. I think flashing this is a waste of time though I had to do a clean install as my back up wouldn't work zeam ect, FC'd
I don't have any problem at all Just wanna root cause i want to install market enabler.
is all working better then CM7??
Definitly yes.
and this ROM have all features from CM7. Like a special menu, power menu et cetera?
And main question have this ROM flash player?????
In tweeter
@LG_Russia said that this ROM are NOT OFFICIAL release
what do you think about it?
Sure, it´s not official release, cause its TEST release. Its not a final build.
Hi everyone, had a weird thing happen after I tried to upgrade to the Perfect Storm 1.5 ROM. I flashed the new radio & installed the ROM - everything seemed to go fine, but after I my phone came up, any app that I went into that required root didn't work. They all said my phone wasn't rooted... The superuser was still there. I tried doing a factory data reset but still ran into the same thing. So I flashed the previous radio back to my phone & went back to the other ROM that I was using - my phone at least acknowledges that it's rooted now & all my rooted apps work. But what the heck happened? Why did my phone want to act like it wasn't rooted? I thought about trying the other Gingerbread ROMS but I'm afraid of running into the same thing as I did with the Perfect Storm. Any thoughts / ideas? Thanks!
Gingeritis....try it
The Perfect Storm 1.5 ROM acting like it's NOT rooted?
Ok, thanks! How long have you been using this rom?
I'm on BAMF 1.7. I just noticed that programs that require root like Wifi Tether, Shoot Me, etc. don't work and question whether I have root access.
Root Checker says I have root and Busybox is correctly installed.
I want to install BAMF 2.1 and am not sure what I should do. Do I need to re-root to be certain? I did the manual ADB method the first time and the root-required programs worked fine before.
Any ideas appreciated.
Reboot and check again.

Tried that several times to no avail.
Kinda strange. I would probably go through the root process again to be safe. Probably not what u wanted to hear.

Ok, so weird.
I re-rooted without issue. Installed a new ROM and it's all good. The apps that quit working still aren't working after restoring with MyBackup Root.
Some of the errors:
ROM Manager: Failure to execute privileged commands
Shoot Me: No root access
Wirless Tether: Starting tether failed, verify root access
So that was last night. I let the phone sit overnight and this morning and was able to Fix Permissions w/ ROM Manager for the first time. Shoot Me and Wireless Tether are also working. Any idea what would have caused/fixed that?
Also, I still have some apps that are Force Closing. They won't uninstall from the Application management area. An Example is WindAlert. Why is this happening and how can I correct it?
I had this happen once with one of Chingy's ROM's. I think it was TPS 1.4. I just reflashed the ROM and it worked like it should. If I recall, he suggested you had 2 options if that happened. 1: reflash the rom. That worked for me. 2: flash a full rooted RUU, radios and all, through the bootloader. I wish I could remember the thread.... I want to say it was on his Gingeritus thread, but I can't remember. The answer is out there though. Doing the ADB root again isn't at all needed since you've got s-off.
Something is still not right.
I would verify the md5 on your rom. perform a full wipe. 3x cache, data, and dalvik. reinstall rom. once phone reboots, allow the phone to sit for a while to settle in. i wouldnt use Ti backup for restoring apps data. definitely not system data.
So my touchscreen didnt want to work anymore yesterday.
I restarted my phone several times and it didnt work.
I then went into xrecovery and clicked 'fix permissions'
Then more stuff didnt want to work anymore
I reinstalled the update.zip file, did a factory reset etc
And now my phone is stuck at the boot with 'Sony Ericsson'
I had minicm6 v6 on my phone (u20i)
I tried reinstalling a backed up zip, but still nothing.
What now?
If you made a backup you should try to restore that.

Edit: Got my phone working, but now when I download something from the market, the phone restarts when it installs ?
Have you figured out the reason why it keeps restarting? If not I would try to reflash the rom.
Keep us updated.

Ok I did another factory reset and cleared dalvik cache.
Everything is working good now

Soooo now that everything is working fine again, would anyone like to recommend me a new ROM to install? Some CM7 mod/rom maybe?
Which ones are the best?
(I know there is a list with all of the roms available for my phone, just thought I'd ask)
Im not sure which roms are available for your phone but cm7 is always a good choice.

I ended up in installing CyanoCream Sandwich v2.0
Looking good so far

Check this one Its the best one and quite fast then other ROMS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415026
I had Stornmix V2 installed for a couple of weeks and it's fast and stable...I really like it.
The only problem I noticed is that when I'm using the video camera, the phone just freezes and I need to remove the battery to make it work again.
The problem with that one is the requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
Latest version of the nAa kernel
I dont know if I have those things on my phone.
And Im not too sure on how to put it on, if i have too
Update:
CyanoCream Sandwich is a bit slow to be honest. I think I will be looking for a new one to install
You will learn little by little by searching through the forums. Unlocking takes some time and some patience.
If you only follow the instructions step by step then you will get an unlocked bootloader and you can install any kernel. dont worry, you will get it soon.
my regards and good luck for that.
I've been ripping my hair out the last couple days trying to figure this out.
In the process of flashing a ROM and kernel I did a number of things:
-Carrier unlock (I feel like this is the culprit)
-Unlocked the bootloader
-Flashed Wet Dream (2.3.6 build)
-Installed webtop
-Attempted to root, unsuccessfully (let me know when the 2.3.6 root is available, haha)
After all this, everything was working fine--including wifi. But somewhere along the lines, maybe 15 minutes after I complete all these steps, out of the blue my wifi won't connect. It just says "obtaining IP address" and never connects.
So I got pissed and went on a wiping/reflashing spree. Got everything reset. The wifi was working great again. Then randomly, it just stopped working again.
Question:
Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?!
I'm dying here. Just as a side note in case you need this information, I think I'm going to flash to the 2.3.4 Wet Dream so I can root my device. Also, I don't mind going back to stock. If that's what fixes, it then I'll be more than happy to go stock. I plan on running webtop2sd as well.
Thanks in advance.

try check in: settings-- battery & data manager--battery mode ( see what presets u use).
then try check: settings--wireless & network settings--wifi settings--advanced (press menu key(the left touch key in bottom)--wifi sleep policy-- set to never.
btw, wetdream should be already rooted. correct me if im wrong.
hope this help.

Benjat, thanks for the reply.
My battery settings were set to "Nighttime saver". I set it to "Performance mode".
I set my wifi sleep policy to Never.
Still have the same problem.
My understanding was that WD was already rooted, but Busybox wasn't installing so I ran Root Check Basic from the Market and it said my device did not have root access

*i just try download root check basic. got message "your device isn't compatible with this item" hehe
Reboot and still no dice.
Ahhhh! So frustrating!
I was mid webtop2sd install and busybox is required for one of the steps to work. I'm actually not sure what it does.

nvm.. maybe do full wipe again..
what ver of WD u using? with what addon? im using WD 1.4.3 full
I've already done a cache/date wipes to no avail.
I'm using 1.4.4 lite. I'm thinking of flashing the 2.3.4 based WD though (is that 1.4.3?).
I could flash something else too, I guess. I really need webtop (with xfce mod) and I heard Wet Dream works well with it.
If this really is a software problem and it is the ROM's fault, then does anyone have a webtop compatible ROM recommendation?

i cant tell if its problem with rom or what.. 1.4.3 is 2.3.6 base. and yes webtop work well with it.
here's normaly what i do..
Boot CWM Recovery
Wipe data/factory
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
flash rom
reboot to fastboot and do fastboot-w & then fastboot reboot.
let it boot for 1st time (until stable/full load) i left it around 10 mins
then reboot back to CMW to flash addon. usually i flash 1 then boot.. continues untill flash all.. maybe a bit fussy step.. but i prefer all loaded before flashing another
*i never tried webtop2sd yet.. still dont buy bigger mem card coz funding for lapdock
** maybe can try this one to make it clean wipe.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421522&highlight=fastboot+-w
Yeah I realized too late that everything cost me way more than I had originally intended to spend. SD cards have come down in price but still pretty pricey for a 32 GB card.
And thank you for the link. I'll try it out tomorrow and report back. It's 1:00 AM here in Seattle!
Hey Mankey,
Have you tested different Wifi networks to ensure that the issue is not with the phone or the ROM at all?
Also, check if someone else on Wet Dream thread had WiFi issues, if this happened with someone else, then they should have fix for sure!
Usually I do what bejnat mentioned and usually works.
Also, about the root, try to follow a root process again. It happened with me before, then I had to install a .zip file through Recovery mode to have root access again.
Hope this helps!
wouldn't just flashing the radio or a newer radio maybe fix his issue??
Yeah it doesn't work with other networks either. And as for root I don't think there's a direct way to root 2.3.6 yet.
Sk8trix, I think I'll try that after I flash back to stock 2.3.4. I've tried just about everything but the radio. Kernels don't fix it.
I'll post an update in a couple days. I really want to get this fixed.
I had the same problem with my dark side when I 1st got it and to fix it I flashed another ROM ,loaded it then flashed back ,cleaned delvik cache and flashed gapps then rebooted and 1st boot fixed my problem was using 2.3.6 with webtop2sd+nebtop app hope this helps you
