Hey! Sorry if this has been asked before. I just converted from ip4 to sgs2 and i just did cf-root and flash miui rom and i'm loving it. I tried installing titanium backup, but it says it can't access root. Any help? Miui has superuser installed though. Did i miss any steps?

Go to Superuser-app ---- Settings ---- There will be one option, allow Root Access ---- make it Yes! Done and Dusted!
Thanks chetan_mohanty and katkoriaarpan.
I don't know what I did, but this time round, the installation for the titanium backup is successful and no errors.
Thanks again!
I did all of this then had to reboot before it worked properly

My x10 was rooted on 2.1 before the .435 update, after i did the .435 update it wont root (z4root)
Im going thru threads to see how that problem was solved but to no avail,
i followed steps set out here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-922931.html but i get stuck on step 7 because flashtool wont recognose the x10 unless its switched on and step 5 and 6 indicate that the x10 must still be switched off. Pls advice

hows the CM ROM?
Id like to try out but not sure if ill install it well
It ain't rocket science, and as long as you got busybox and xrecovery installed, there is little you can do wrong..
It's all pretty neat explained in the ROM threads

hey man, you can actually use xRecovery to backup your phone (create a backup) that can be restored at a later date. This way you can backup, flash a new ROM to play/test with, then restore your original ROM when done.
Note: you will NOT be able to restore contacts/apps/settings into the test ROM with this method, for that you will need to use something like My Backup Root before flashing the test ROM.
hope that makes sense

@mrtim123 thanx, now i understand what xrecovery is for, i thought thats what titanium back is for because i backed up when i upgraded to .435. My contacts are synced to my laptop so i can get them back thats ok.
Ive installed the flash tool on my laptop, now i gotta find the CM Installation thread to install.i hear that the CM ROM makes your phone faster and battery lasts longer, will my apps need to be re installed again from xrecovery or will they remain on the phone with the new CM ROM?

You have to do a full wipe before installing the new ROM.
That means you have to reinstall/restore your apps.
And it would be better not to restore data via xrecovery, you can get force close or maybe you have to flash the ROM again
I prefer restoring via an app like titanium backup or my backup root.

hey man, when you flash a ROM using xRec (and do full wipe) the first time you boot your phone is like when you first get the phone - no non-standard apps, no contacts, no anything (except what is on your sd card). you will be able to restore apps that you backed up using MyBackupRoot or Titanium backup though, once you have booted into the new ROM.
have fun!
btw - click on CyanogenMod link in my signature for the thread on Wolfbreaks CM rom
Im running [CM 6.1.3]scamble[v1.2] and it runs super smooth. There are alot of good ROMs out there though. Flash, test, and choose one that works for you. Happy Flashing
Am I not doing something right because I can't get into CWM? I'm rooted of course and used Rom Manager to install CWM. While in RM I hit Reboot into Recovery but my system just reboots like normal.
Do I have to be unlocked for CWM to work? If not what is the trick I'm missing?
Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I couldn't find it.
Thanks,

Vipermod is just root. To unlock you have to download the unloker from Asus. Once you do that and activate the unlocker you can't lock it back up and void the warranty for good. I'm surprised at that since CWM works fine on my DroidX and it's bootloader is locked up tighter than this is.

Were you rooted before .21? Cuz Viper cant root .21 for now, it may look like it did but when you to use app like Titanium backup it will show if your not

I tried yesterday, flash .21, motley kernel v2.1, use viper to root without any problem. But today, reflash room, google play down, I can't get OTA rootkeeper, thereforce not be able to root my device again.
does anybody have copy of OTA root keeper and Rom manager? please share.
Ok, rooted and flashed the Onlyone goldie rom. I love it so far, but it seems as if I have lost root! How do I regain? Also, I do not have a PC and finally, my former apps are not being downloaded to my phone. A little help?
To Summarize:
How do I get my apps?
How do I regain root? (PS I backed up my former (rooted) GB rom on CWM recovery, if i return to it will I have root again?)
Thanks in advance!

1) Since you flashed this rom you must have CWM....so I would try this, dl this and put on your intern sd and flash you would a ROM...but no wipes, I did this when, running stock to get root, works great.
2) Are your apps root dependent ...if so that is prob why ...but you may need to clear out the gplay thru the app manager...then try dl your apps again.
hope it helps

what makes you think you lost root?
Is the SU app in your app tray?
Only some AOSP ROMS, like CM9, will restore your apps automatically..otherwise, you have to either restore them manually, through the market, or back them up, with a back up program like titanium backup, and restore them through there..
Used cwm and all was fixed! Thanks!!!!!

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

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

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.

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.

I flashed the stock 4.1.2 and a new modem that I found on here to my phone. Ever since then whenever I open the su app it says that the su binary doesn't exist. Problem is I tried to flash the newest binary and it didn't do anything. I also tried to flash using Odin and it messed up the rom. I can't figure out how to get su working again. Can someone help me?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I had similiar issues. It seems others have had the same issue too. If you have installed superuser by ChainsDD then go to the play store and install Superuser by ClockworkMod. Then remove the ChainsDD version. If you have the ClockworkMod version installed and not working then install the ChainsDD version. Worked for me.
Something finicky about this 4.1.2 ROM. Modems and Superuser don't install properly and have to be installed twice.
Edit....supersu by chainfire is actually the version i am using now.
Well op.... what exactly did you flash?
If you flashed stock...and not a prerooted package, you're not rooted. Which is why there's no su binary.
Also, how did you try to root with Odin? If you used an old gingerbread method of flashing a kernel...that would indeed mess up the Rom.

after a million try's I found out how to fix the problem some of the people here give bits of the real way to deal with the un able to start supersu... fist thing use odin to flash philz 15. whatever file that you seen in the thread ( after clean catch and davik and factory reset) then flash the new 4.3 custom rom onto your note 2. Reboot your phone !!!! wen setting up your phone DO NOT set up your google e-mail account when it asks you. Just "skip" everything. NOTE... after you setup the language install from scratch you can always link your google account after everything i tell you to do and phone gets the superSU premissons... okay onto the last step do not open supersu, go to google playstore type in supersu and update it then turn off your phone without opening supersu then boot if everything is back to normal by checking get root checker witch can be downloaded from the app store... btw it was funny how one person said they were afraid of bricking there phone LOL its impossible to brick your phone unless your as brainless as him.. the main problem with jellybean 4.3 and your google account is that it blocks any programs like supersu from before your even able to start your phone. by not sync'ing the google account with your phone it allows supersu to install without GOOGLE blocking it... btw make sure you wipe all catch and select the option clear to flash new rom in philz recovery... one good luck guys this fix took me about 200 trys and 12 hours but its yours now...
