Rooted but no root access - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys i'm trying to search with tapatalk but it doesn't work, anyhow I just rooted my gfs phone with revolutionary flashed Su installed a custom ROM, but Su keeps force closing even after update it seems like only half the time i'm able obtain root, everything was wiped prior installing the ROM any suggestions? Thx
Rooted S-OFF
Radio-MR3 (802w)
Ging3R3DTh3oRY 6.2
V6 supercharge script
Extreme undervolted
O.C @ 1.5 ghz gov. Lag free
Ziggys infected kernel
Bolted to the max =)

Use recovery to fix permissions, worth a try. Question why use an outdated discontinued ROM, flash something that is current and will get updates such as BAMF. If you like ziggy I suggest Son of a Bliss new 3.5 sense perfect for a girl based on HTC Bliss. And requires special kernel to work so search forum but i use imo test 3.8
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button.

Superuser has been having fc issues the past couple days. I had to remove the updates back to version 3.0 in order to fix mine. Some people had luck with just clearing the app data. worst case you could completely uninstall and download a stable version to the Sd card and install from recovery.

Finds in the new Gingerbread leak

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?

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.

[Q] Root troubles

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156123
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"
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes, but you need to update trigger. It doesn't wipe.
Alriiiight
Once again, Thank you!

annoying superuser

I just installed cm7.2 last night and everytime i open a rooted program i have to exept root permision somtimes 3 times in a row even thoe i have the save boxed checked.
Have you tried updating your SU binaries? Rebooting? I and many other have been running this ROM for a while without this issue. Did you do a clean install or what?
Sent from my 1.3 OC'd CM7.2 Electrify.
not sure how to update my binarys but i did do a clean install like the directions said i have even flashed over it onece casue the internet wasnt working fixed that problem but su problem still there.
Not sure what i did to fix it but it is fixed now updated the binarys and that didnot work then flashed new kernel and installed su updater fix dl in market then ran v6 supercharge to clean system and get back ram then poof it was all good.
Glad it worked out for you, best guess is the kernal fixed it? Dunno for sure but either way as long as it works now.

HTC EVO 4g LTE - Google Apps crashing after root - Help please

I've been struggling with this for about a week and I am not able to figure this one out. I hope someone here can give me a hand.
I've unlocked my phone using HTCDEV and rooted using TWRP 2.4.3 gaining root and recovery access. All seemed to work well but every GOOGLE app crashes now on start up. I can't go to the market as it crashes "Unfortunately Google play store has stopped". It does this with all Gapps.
I've flashed the GAPPS through recovery since I can't access Play.Google. and it made no difference. I can't log in to Google accounts as soon as try it gives me "google account manager has stopped".
I've tried to RUU back to rom 3.16. but RUU fails to update the phone although the restoral screen shows the scrolling dots indicating it is updating, but it goes on forever. the bootloader shows "TAMPERED" "Unlocked" and this came after using FASTBOOT OEM LOCK command in an attempt to reflash the unit. I have tried to flash to other roms like CM10 but it only gets to the point of the spinning logo and just sits there and spins, etc. Other roms get stuck as well in the first boot up logo of the rom or give a black screen. I can use TWRP to restore the backup each time so the phone works seemingly ok except for anything with Gapps.
I assumed I can't not flash JB roms without S-off and I tried to use Dirty Racun to obtain S-off but I get errors with each step so gave up on that for now. I've resolved myself to sticking with the stock rooted rom but I can't do much without Google Voice which is my text and phone account.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I've searched the forums here and elsewhere for dozens of hours and have not been able to find a solution for this or any help that might help me "stumble" into a solution. I don't mind flashing another rom if I could get one to take hold just so I can get this unit working.
I think the TWRP recovery or a old verion of Superuser might have caused this glitch. I did the rooting and recovery using this guide here htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-root/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery and the provided TWRP would not accept any input so I replaced it with 2.4.3.0 and recovery then recovery seemed to work and backup/restore but still can't flash any roms successfully. I didn't notice Superuser v0.87 here as being old (my goof) and didn't get a more recent version until after the flashing was done. LIke I said, where I'm left at now is everything seems to work but anything having to do with Gapps just crashes on start.
Any help please?
Couple things you could do if you wanted a new rom. First go to the q&a section there is a sticky titled don't panic it will let you know to fast boot the bootimg for being son or find a rom that has son kernel installer for sense mean bean does

I had this issue today when I flashed viper 4g ROM before doing my s off. I tried every approach and what I ended up doing is a factory reset, cache wipe, D. cache wipe, Android secure wipe, sd ext. wipe (I always do the wipe 3x in a row on each) then I reinstalled my viper rom (comes with the latest google apps) and off I go. Solved all my google sign in related issues. You could also try to locate a downloadable version of goomanager which will automatically check for the latest version of gapps that is compatible with your rom and download it. Doesn't need to have a google playstore link to work either.

Thicklizard, Thanks, I'll check this out now. Are you saying the rom Mean Bean is a ROM and might take hold flashing it with my s-on situation? Is MeanBean an xda developers rom? I've always had good luck with just about everything from XDA, so would love to try it. My hope is a new rom would solve whatever "hell" my phone is stuck in. Thanks! I'll see if I can find it.

dominicsdad, I'm going to check out what was suggested about Mean Bean but I did try several JP type GB apps, etc. None of them would restore the function. THis has been so frustrating. I'm a guy that can folllow the posts and the guides I read, etc., but not having the core understanding or depth shows it's ugly face for a non-connected guy like me. WHy did you do an SD wipe? That's where I keep my backups which have been the only thing that has let me get back from a few botched rom attempts. I will try the goo manager if I can find a flashable version since I'm locked out otherwise with any kind of app install. I was surprised to see the EVO LTE didn't have a file manager as I was going to try and just install google voice which would at least allow me to use the phone.
THanks!

Thicklizard,
Update, I installed Mean Bean and solved my problem. It gave me a scare thinking it would backfire with the 2 duplicate rom installs it requires but I had to put some faith in something working and it worked. Thank you for getting me on the right track!!!!!! Bill

[Q] HELP Can't flash CM12: - s-off, rooted, CWM 6.0.4.5

So...I'm stuck I can't seem to figure out how I can flash CM 12 as I get the attached image stating "Installation Aborted"
For the record.
- Used Sunshine to get s-off
- Rooted through King-root
- Installed ROM Manager. Updated latest CWM v. 6.0.4.5 (latest ROM Manager is allowing me to update).
- Flashed into recovery, factory reset, wiped cache, and dalvik cache (followed instructions: Google Search "android 5.1 Lollipop htc dna" click the link from trueandroid)
- Now stuck at the attached image.
Anyone have any insight into what I'm doing wrong? Links to how-to's would be greatly appreciated if there is a solution to this problem out there already. Appreciate your comments and feedback!
Thanks would love to start using CM 12 on the DNA and give this phone some more life!

Hey thanks for the links above I was able to get the ROM flashed. Super happy with CM 12.1. I am however draining my battery at lightening speed. It looks like from full to empty is done in about 2 hrs.
Any direction on how to improve this?
- I've turned off Google Play location services.
Also I do love running the latest ROM's out there, but if this is going to persist - do you know a ROM that creates the longest battery life for the DNA and still keeps the best performance?
Thanks again!

Hey Baku - so I tried to get TricksterMod then I realized I lost Root Access. I tried Weak Sauce and Kingroot, but neither are working. It looks like i have S-Off since I am able to boot to CWM as stated above, but that's not how I flashed CM12 - I used TWRP as you suggested.
I figure once I get root again I will be able to use TWRP manager and TricksterMod as you suggest. Any guidance on how I can get my root access again?
Thanks!

Look up SuperSU flashable zip and download it from the XDA thread by @Chainfire, then flash in recovery. Also make sure you have root access enabled in developer settings first.

Thanks Baku appreciate you leading me down the right path. I'm actually test driving another ROM now: Team EOS
Both CM12 and EOS seem to have issues with Google Hangouts and Skype. Have you come across this issue? If so, how have you fixed it?
Out of curiosity what ROM/kernel do you use?

I use CM12.1 on the latest nightly, with crpalmer 6.0.1 kernel updated by @jamiethemorris. I haven't used either of those apps, but I'll see if I have any issues once my internet decides to work right.
