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

HUH?
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.
I have same issues. Adaway and wifi tether both say I have no root. Running meanRom 4.6 with s-on. Will be watching thread for hopeful fix.

Can I have a link to a flashable one, the one from market isn't cutting it?
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.

After flashing the 2nd to latest Bamf RC I seem to have lost root priveliges. Anything that requires root will not work (screenshots, root checker fails the check, Titanium backup).
When I flashed, I wiped data and cache 3 seperate times, as well as dalvik and battery. I.flashed the ROM, followed by the 6-bar signal mod; all through Recovery, not RomManager. I used Titanium after flashing only for user apps/data.
I tried the Titanium superuser restore method (Problems > Upgrade Superuser) which also fails. I tried manually updating Superuser through market; fails. I tried downloading the latest SU and flashing through Recovery; fails, says its bad and I've tried downloading a couple times from different threads/links.
I've been running MR2 radio since it came out. When I restart into Bootlogger, this is what I get:
Mecha XD Eng S-Off
Hboot - 1.04.2000 (PG05100000)
Radio - 1.39.00.0528w
eMMC-boot - Feb 23, 2011, 20:36:02
Any idea what I can do or do I need to post more info? I lack computer access for who knows how long, so if I can fix it from my mini-computer here I'd love ya'll long time!
Problem Solved: It was just a matter of a bad flash. After downloading a fresh copy of the ROM, I wiped everything and reflashed. Root was restored without further issues.
Try installing and running busybox from the market. The few times I lost root this did the trick.

Just tried. Downloaded, granted SU, and it failed to install. Said it couldn't gain root (go figure).
Thanks, though!
Next!?
Well the rom is already prerooted so you could just install it over the current rom without wiping. If rom manager won't wow you to do it, boot straight into recovery.

Delete /system/app/Superuser.apk and /system/xbin/su
Then manually flash the superuser zip from recovery.
You said flashing Superuser failed and said it was bad? Sounds like the DL is corrupt then. DL 2.3.6.3efgh again and flash that.

Can't delete anything in system folder without root access. Or at least ES File Manager won't allow it.

Since I was reflashing I went ahead and downloaded the RC4. I seem to be the only one with the RC3 issue so I figured it was on my end. Wiped, flashed, and all good now. Thanks for the tips guys. OP updated.
Well, two days ago I decided to put ICS on my Amaze. Previous to ICS I was Rooted with S-ON, and Unlocked.
I followed the instructions on the Development section to install ICS on my unlocked, S-ON Amaze. However after I installed CWM, and flashed Superuser, Titanium Backup, or any other root app says I don't have root privileges.
From what I understood, once SU was flashed, the device would be rooted.
I used the All In One Kit to put the CWM Recovery, and flash the SU. I did HTC Steps to unlock the phone (which the AIO Kit helped also)
I tried looking for a solution or something before posting, but I couldn't find one in the 80+ pages of the ICS thread in the Development section.
Thanks in advance!
I initially had an issue flashing Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20992340&postcount=4) because I didn't toggle the signature setting in recovery. Perhaps it didn't flash correctly? Make sure it said it was successful at flashing the zip.
Flash it again.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
I realized that my tool didn't set the SU permissions. I have to fix that. Just flash the SU zip file and it'll be fine.

You sure can. Detailed instructions posted in development section. Basically you need to unlock bootloader through HTC, flash a custom recovery, load up the superuser zip, then flash it in your custom recovery. More details are given in other posts already.

Just going to throw this out there. I flashed superuser after installing ICS to get root. It works for most applications, but one app that it doesn't work with is LuckyPatcher (to get rid of those stupid ads in my other apps). For LuckyPatcher to work, I had to install superSU (can be found from the play store). It seems to be my default root app now.

When I try to run clockwork mod from rom manager it tells me " an error occurred while attempting to run privaleged commands!" what is this supposed to mean?
I have the super user zip to install on my device I haven't ran a rom in a while though now so I have an older version of revolutionary.
How do I get clockwork mod installed so I can run the zip or is there an easier way to run the zip? When I get to fast boot and try to run recovery it boots to a red ! in a triangle.

Are you S-off?
You may not have full root.
Install Root Checker from the Play Store and see if you have root access.
If you're S-off, have full root, and have root access according to Root Checker...
Make sure your Superuser binaries are up-to-date.
Then install Busybox and smart install Busybox binaries.
See if that works.

Good Afternoon all,
I am S-OFF HBoot 1.40, I have not had an issues until recently. I tried installing SetCpu and superuser denied permission, even tho I have it set to allow. I then tried updating superuser binary and when it gets to Gaining root access.. "fail!"
I am not sure what the issue could be as, i am able to flash ROMs, Kernals, etc.
Would it be wise of me to S-On it and then S-Off Again ?
The issue with superuser permissions does occur randomly with certain applications, so i am not exactly aware of what is going on. I am hoping someone can give me a hand.
Thank you in advance,
Miamiboi
I have had this issue before and it turns out that I flashed the wrong type of superuser for my phone. It was meant for donut and not Ics. It could be that you flashed the wrong superuser zip. Here's the file http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip. Let me know if that helps you. I flashed this in recovery and it worked like a charm.

But only AFTER you install SuperSU first (Superuser has to give SuperSU root access to install first). I like SuperSU better as well.
Hello, I just upgraded to the new droid DNA on 1-13-2013. I got the bootloader unlocked and flashed the recovery without problems but, when I flashed the superuser files using recovery it fails and says md5 file or something like that was not found but with the failure to install, it still put the superuser, su and busybox files in the correct sytem folders. I booted my device and open supersu and it said I need to update the su file but that update failed too. I also did a full stock restore to see how it goes for me beause I hear people say once you do that you can't
re-unlock the bootloader but, I got the bootloader re-unlocked witout problems. I wanted to add that because people was asking if any body else was having problems re-unlocking. What I want to know is how can I get root? I still have my bootloader unlocked. Can I install a pre rooted stock rom using custom recovery or will that fail too since I cant get the supersu installed successfully?

Go check out the ROMs in the Android Development Section. Most, if not all, of the ROMs have the superuser and BusyBox built in. Try UKB.
Cheers!
Thanks, I did that but when I went to install it the install started but it didn't go through. The install started for about 1 second and it just just booted me. I had to rerun the full RUU.exe i found in the xda forum to reinstall. The only thing I want to do is just root to be able to delete bloat. I hope somebody comes out with a way to root without having to unlock boot loaders.
