I made a nandroid backup of my rom and tweaked it using kitchen, but after compiling it and flashing to my phone, i lost my root access, whenever i execute s2e, setcpu or any other app that needs root access my phone would always say "root not available, (app name) has been denied superuser permission" what am i doing wrong? thank you
Try to readd the root function via the kitchen.

I have the same problem on the latest RUU ICS leak on Sensation.
Any clue?

The thing is, my ROM is already rooted, and even if i choose to add root permission on kitchen the result is still the same.

Go. To super user and check all settings.

Still no feedback. Does checking the options in superuser solves the problem?
I tried to check all options and still nothing.
I also tried to update binaries and it says: gaining root access... fail!
Tryed to copy superuser, su, busybox from another custom rom and problem remains.
I have no solution yet.
Find su in flashable form and flash after you flash the rom.
Did you mess with the update-script at all?

nope... i just debloated the rom, added root and busybox and compiled the rom.
its not the point to flash the superuser after flashing the rom. I want to learn how to cook some roms.

Instead of using a backup, find a proper base, like a stock rom, or just download a fresh copy of whatever rom you are using and use that as a base
What device are you trying to cook for?
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt
I am using latest RUU for the Sensation. Itd a kraj from HTC. All of the ROMs are builded from that base
I'm also having the same problem. I used the stock hero s ruu. Debloated, added root and busy box. I'm being told I don't have root access though. When I go to superuser and try to update binaries it sits at getting root access and fails. I can't run any other apps that need super user either.

I put froyo on my vibrant using Odin. have JL5 (from samfirmware.com) and the 2.6.32.9 kernel now.
update.zip did not work to root, nor did that one click lage fix or other things work.
would like to use froyoblack and e.g. axura.
any ideas?
none of the "easy" known root options work due to 2.2 having a newer recovery.
To root 2.2 firmwares, search google for SuperOneClick. This will root your device. The only problem is, with recent firmwares, there is literally not enough space to install root and install busy box, so you'll need to delete a few apps.
but, it doesn't hurt to try though.

If I were u I would just Odin back to stock then root from there. Then install rom manager and flash one of the custom ROMs from Team Whiskey or Eugene373.

This is probably the best idea.
Has anyone tried the ROM Manager from the android market on G3? What does this do? I want to install a custom ROM on my G3 upgraded to 2.2 last week. Can somebody help me with detailed instructions and the best custom ROM to use.
ROM manager installs clockworkmod recovery, and the g3 doesn't have clockworkmod till now. So, no, you can't use it

Thanks, wanted to check if I can just root my G3 and continue using it as it is without installing a custom ROM. If yes, can I root using the z4root app. I have read about it but dont know if this will have any adverse impact on the phone. What will be the advantages of performing the root? Is there a better way to root my phone and will this improve the battery life? After upgrading to Froyo a week back, my battery life has dropped significantly. Have ATK installed and all the other functions are disabled but still not help
flash a custom rom^^ maybe this helps^^ they are prerooted.

Hi!
I'm a total noob. This is my first android phone. I've read everything about rooting, and I'd like to install a custom rom, but I'd like to save the stock rom/kernel first. I've found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I don't really know if these are what I need. Also, I have an xwkf3 device, but it's slightly branded for hungarian T-mobile (the browser has a different name and icon, and it also had every network setting by default).
So, basically I either need someone to tell me which one to download, or better yet, how to create a backup of the whole thing.
Yet again, I'm sorry for asking something probably really stupid. I've tried to google it many times, but I failed to find an answer. Thanks for everyone in advance.
Are you rooted already? If so just boot into ClockworkMod recovery (cwm) and then navigate to backup. (navigate using volume buttons and use home to select)

Here is the kernel rooting thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Dial *#1234# into the phone dialer to find out what firmware you have installed.
Root using chainfires method and make a full backup via CWM.
Flash away. But make sure the Rom/firmware is for your device. Eg i9100 international.
Good luck.

I'm not rooted yet. If I understood everything correctly, the safe kernel is the same for branded/unbranded devices, and only the rom is different?
I'm currently downloading both secure and insecure kernels. After rooting, can I revert back to the secure one to install custom roms?
BTW, thank you for your quick answer

I'm not positive but I think if you are rooted and install a stock kernel (without root) you will lose root and won't be able to flash custom roms or make Backups. Its really easy to root, just find the appropriate insecure kernel, flash it with Odin, make backup, and then try new roms!

Don't flash back to stock kernel.
Use a jig if you want to get rid of the yellow triangle.
Edit: after flashing one of the cfroot kernels make sure you can get into CWM recovery mode. Vol up+power+home
If you can then you're ok to follow the instructions of the Rom you want to flash.

Thank you. One last question, if I may. Some of the roms I'd try use different kernels, then mine. If I install one of those, and want to revert the phone to factory rom, and kernel, should I root it again with an insecure kernel according to the rom, or one according to my device's current, factory rom?
You will probably find that the Rom kernel will be rooted and have CWM. Just check in the 1st post or 2 of the roms thread.
If you use CWM and make a backup of your stock Rom, after you root now but before you flash any other Rom, you can restore with CWM to get back to stock firmware.

To fully return to stock you have to flash a stock rom and stock kernel from Odin. The rom that you want to back up will be a stock rom but it will be rooted because of the rooted kernel. So yea, flashing stock firmware and kernel is the only way to get back to fully stock.

But if I restore my backup rom, and flash it with an original kernel, it would be unrooted, and basically the phoen would be just as it is right now. Is that right?

Hi I want to root my GT-I9100 without flashing any kernel. I found some thread here to do this on ICS, but I don't know if it is for 4.0.3, 4.0.4, or both?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105
stick it in mud for few days probably it might get rooted ...
That's just humour don't take it seriously.. flashing a kernel is one of the way to root and is the easiest way if ur not comfortable with it watch the video on YouTube by galaxys2root because that's the only way u get the super user access...

I've done it such that a CWM.zip file and SuperSU.zip are uploaded to the phone (don't know their original names as I changed them), then reboot into recovery using the 3 button approach which brings up the normal android recovery and select to install from the sdcard (internal or external or whatever applies) then install CWM.zip which will temporarily, for that session, replace the android recovery screen with a CWM one. In my case its a touch screen selection. Then from that CWM install SuperSu. After rebooting you may need to open the superSU app and update the binary (mine may just be outdated though).
The above has worked for 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 but be sure to do research on the hard brick bug involved with flashing on 4.0.4 and if it applies here.
Mobile Odin needs root permission so it wouldn't work while you are not rooted. I haven't tried other methods.
I'd upload the files I have but I'm not sure its appropriate as they aren't really mine to upload... it seems that the files you'd need are among those in the thread you linked to.

After unlocking my DNA, I decided upon the SuperHatka Rom.
Reading the instructions, I flashed the kernel (boot.img) at the beginning of the tutorial/post
and then flashed the Slim 2.0.0 rom.
I seem to have lost root. I read about this in a few places and followed what someone said.
I wiped.
Flashed Rom
Flashed the kernel
then the modules.
Still no root. Got my wifi access back, *chuckles*
The modules, from the Cubed DNA Kernal that I read about.
Did I do something wrong?
Of course, appreciation for all this hobby stuff you guys do is on high.
I wish I had the ability to stick to one thing at a time. Too many shiny things around. )

Weird. I had SuperSU installed on here already and ran it a few times.
Downloaded the other Super User and that did it.
