Lost root? - HTC Droid DNA

Rooted last night. Flashed the stock, deodexed Rom, Flashed a couple of mods like the camera mod, transparent Rosie, and the 50 gb dropbox mod. I used root explorer last night and it asked for root permission, now today it says I have to root permission. Any of these mods break root?

anyone?

Ok...a little more information here. I flash FactoryRom debloat final, I have root..when I flash transparent rosie I have no root.... When on FactoryRom final, I open root explorer it asks for root permission I allow it and I can access system files. After I flash the transparent rosie mod, when I open root explorer it says and I try to open a system folder it says my phone isn't rooted and it doesn't ask for root permissions.

Do you have a modified kernel?

i haven't flashed anything seperately, just whatever kernel came with factory rom

That's why, you need a custom kernel

You're the shiz thanks!

Well as soon as I said that, I got it working, but I had to reflash the supersu and busybox zip then download supersu from the market, but all is well now
I just hope I don't have to do that every time I flash a mod.

You only have to do that if you go stock

You're still going to have to have custom kernel for actual root

[MOD] Notification toggles

Title says it all but a picture says so much more
this is a port of a port that from where i found it says Credit goes to Elitemovil for originally making it.
I just took the job of making it work on the Photon.
This was made to work with Yays 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7 Deodexed SBF
To use on a stock phone
Flash in CWM or Bootstrap
Use Root explorer and rename the systemui.odex file to systemui.odex.bak (it's in the System/app folder) then reboot.
ty iaccax and mr_wrong_0 for finding that out.
Make sure to wipe Dalvik Cache
Will be along first boot
Nice

I know its not designed for it, but would it work on a stock OTA 4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_6? Just want to verify that it wont cause something crazy to happen, im stock rom rooted and locked, btw. Looks great!
i dont know if it will work or not maybe someone else does or you can make a backup first and try. No luck then just restore it.

I'm on skinny rom. Might be that reason.

Skinny is based off the same SBF might have to clear cache after installing
I'm running skinny as well and a wipe was not needed...everything is running fine...thanks ranger

I got it to flash. Redownloaded it. Must have been a bad download.
I am still locked and unrooted on 198_7 and this is exactly what I was waiting for.
Thanks. Will give it a try when I get to a computer.

doesn't work for me, on jokerstock rev1 with 1.4 overvolted kernel.

Can't confirm root.

I rooted my phone way back when using one click root and I have superuser installed but never had any custom roms. Every time I use root check it does not confirm if I am rooted or not and keeps checking for what seams like an eternity. Am I missing something? Please help, I am trying to back up my current stock rom and can't get by. Thank you in advance...

Ways to get confirmed:
1. Use root checker from market.
2. Install terminal Emulator and run command su
$ su

Click to collapse
If SuperUser popup comes out.. you are done rooting..
3. To get rooted.. Universal Androot for 2.1 - 2.3 devices.
Sorry I dont have the above mentioned files but you can have those with a little Googling.
Also you haven't mentioned your device, on which you are performing XperiMents

I guess, If its Photon4g, then go for Photon Torpedo method, and confirm the root with above.
Thanks for the reply. Every time I use root checker I just runs forever and never stops checking. But I used the cmd prompt su and and the cmd line changes from a $ to a # so that means I am rooted. I been trying to perform a nandroid back up with rom manager and I keep getting a Failed to Boot 2 message every time, any ideas?

By the way my phone is running on Android 2.3.4, Kernel version is 2.6.3.2.9 and the Build is 198_6. Rooted using one click some time back but never unlocked bootloader or installed a custom rom. I've been holding out on the ota update so I can unlock my boot...

yeah. don't ever ever ever use rom manager. it's junk and doesn't work. do not use it or its recoveries. use jokers v3 or photon3 or another confirmed working recovery. NEVER USE ROM MANAGER.
Ok it's a lot to go through, but I'm going to see what I can get.

Don't call an app junk just because it does not fully work on a particular phone. It actually does work for most things.
The recoveries that u mentioned are just modified versions of the recovery built into Rom Manager.
But of course u knew that!
Try the photon torpedo direct method it will tell you if your rooted and also can apply a proper root if your root install went bad.

I had unlocked my dna on Friday, installed cwm and flashed supersu zip. IT didnt work though, tried to update the binary and it failed, so i did some searching and found A superuser flash zip, i flashed it and root had worked for a bit and then today i went to calibrate my battery, apon receving the error 'root your device first' i checked out titanium backup and same error 'no root'. Is this a bug ? Or is my phone going nuts
Without a special kernel you can't use any root app that attempts to edit /system.

Root Checker is a nice little (free) app...sometimes helps when in question so then your energy can be spent elsewhere finding solutions, I know there are other apps as well that do the same thing....

[Q] Jellybean ROM

I am about to install the Jellybean rom and have a quick question. When reading the install instructions, it states that Loki recovery must be installed. I rooted the phone and have Odin installed. Will this be sufficient or will this cause a conflict?
Thanks

Did you install a custom recovery like cwm or twrp?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
It must have been done when I rooted with Odin as it is there. (TeamWin). I have the ROM flashed, just not sure why all of the bloat is still present. Guessing Bean didn't create a "theme" as of yet.

I dont think beans removes a lot of bloat. If you want basically bloat free try clean rom. :thumbup:

How did you root and what root are you using (SuperSU or Superuser)?
All you did was root? Did you install any root applications?
That happens to me sometimes too. Are you running a custom rom?

I never had this issue after rooting... And always did it via TWRP, manually flashing SuperSU zip file.

I always flash using TWRP also :highfive: But it's just some ROMs for me that have these kinds of bugs.
I would just flash a new ROM if I were you, unless you plan on staying with the stock ROM? If so, you should probably pick up another one, because your UI shouldn't constantly ANR.

Or even easier if you are on the latest hboot/radios, CleanWipe and flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154 or move into a new world with CarbonRom or something similar!
