IDK if this is how it has always been for me just noticed it but when I go into terminal emulator and type su says su not found I'm locked rooted with stock ROM and stock recovery on 198_6. Super user doesn't seem to have a problem I have full root privileges or so I think all my root required apps function so no clue be great if anyone could offer some input tempted to restore phone to factory

Pleaz help!!
I rooted my fascinate with z4root. Then, I unrooted. Then, I noticed that my superuser was still there. I tried to delete it but couldn't. Then, I heard that u can delete it by rooting, so I tried to root it again. But for some reason, z4 keeps saying, you already have the such binary. Unable to root. I then tried to root using other programs on my computer with one click root program. That kept saying, unable to root device. Please help me delete the su or reroot my phone.
A few simple commands with an app called terminal emulator, free in market. Search YouTube for "fascinate remove root" for the commands

You can also set to stock using Odin. There is also a way to delete the root files using root explorer if you still have root access but I'm guessing not as that happened to be after the last update.

So I rooted my tblot no problem but when i rooted my manager's i keep having a problem with the superuser process force closing. I've tried rerooting and reinstalling superuser, updating su... phone is rooted and s-off. I would try and figure it out myself but i only have access to it at work when i bring my laptop in and mess with it on my lunch. So basically i was just wondering if anyone had the same problem and how they fixed it.

Did you try fixing permissions? It's in Rom Manager.
Rom manager can't run because the superuser process force closes whenever you try and run anything that requires root permissions
Another weird thing is that he is able to uninstall superuser from the manage applications menu

There are some borked versions of superuser out there. Make sure you're installing a very well-trusted ROM with a known-good superuser app.

You can also fix permissions by booting into recovery.
Is there a release of clockwork mod outside of rom manager for the thunderbolt? i tried finding a zip to flash in fastboot but to no avail

I had a similar issue a while back. I had to redo the entire root process from scratch using the adb method, then I installed a rom that had the superuser fix from rmk40; most TB roms use the fix. Good luck!

Your issue may be related to how busybox is installed. A standard "busybox --install [path]" will create a link for busybox's su. If that's earlier on the path than the correct su for Android, it will cause problems. The easy fix is, after installing busybox, remove the su it created.
Everyone seems to do different things with busybox. It may be placed in different places, and may not be "installed" with the links created.
I put it in /system/sbin, and create the links there. If you followed the common instructions for root, that su should be in /system/xbin. The standard PATH is =/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
From adb shell, do a "busybox which su" It should say "/system/xbin/su"
I wish someone who was setup for cross-compiling would do a busybox with no su, and with "ls --color=never" the default.
Makes sense... unfortunately i don't have too much access to his phone to mess with it. Here's hoping the tbolt gets unrevoked support soon...

Is it posible to do root function(overclock, change VM heap, screenshot, reboot etc.) from the cm7 settings, after unrooting the phone?
I think it is possible to do them, but will they work?

It isn't because for that stuff you will need administrator privileges (root) maybe you can unroot but before change your user privileges in a terminal maybe thats a workaround

The last su update deleted my root, wtf, but it still remained overclocked...

Sometimes when I am trying to run an app that requires root access, such as Titanium Backup or the BSR, I get a response that I don't have root access. This is false of course, because I have SU to automatically grant access to any app. This also happens when I try to run Fix Permissions in CWM. I get the error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" and a box appears at the bottom of the screen telling me that Rom Manager has been granted root access. Any ideas why this would be happening? Any remedies?
I'm running CM9 Beta 1 FWIW
Go to play store, uninstall any super user updates, go into super user, and then update the super user binaries.

Worked like a charm! Thanks much!
Hi all,
I have just rooted my HTC Evo V which I am assuming is just a revamped Evo 3D, and I'm just learning some of the scripting basics. However when I try to reboot the phone with terminal emulator using:
su
reboot
It returns "not permitted!" And if I input:
sudo
I get /system/bin/sh sudo: not found
Am I missing something? Or am I not doing something right? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

I just did:
su
(Granted superuser permission)
reboot
It worked for me. My guess is that "Not permitted" means that the terminal emulator app isn't being granted superuser permission.
Ok, here goes.
Does it matter that I'm using just the "patched" stock Android OS? Or that I still have S-On with the stock hboot bootloader (unlocked)?
I'm using the stock OS because I like the 3D and I have heard that the 3D on the other roms isn't working yet. However if the other stuff needs changing please let me know what.
Currently I'm using twrp recovery.

Have you flashed a superuser zip file and installed busybox? I think the reboot command requires busybox.

I flashed Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and have busybox 1.20.2 installed via busybox installer free using "smart install"

Have you used the Root Checker app from the Play Store to make sure that you have root working properly?

Yes and it says that everything checks out except for sudo.

Clear data for superuser in "manage apps" then try again and see if you get a prompt to approve root access.

Are you using su or sudo? Su worked fine for me but sudo said no such file.
Same thing. Is there a different su zip that I can try flashing maybe the one I have is somehow effed up and not working properly.

Sudo isn't a command in android, if you haven't tried yet, try just su. There are stock ROMs in development with root and everything (including 4g and 3d) working, maybe try one of those?
