Hmm, lost root? - How is everyone updating SU binaries? - HTC Droid DNA

So I was having Wi-Fi tether issues the GPE ROM and tried a different super user app to update binaries. Kept getting prompted to do it via recovery. Boot into recovery yet when I reboot I'm getting no prompt install binaries. Can't edit /system as root explorer won't work. Any ideas? I've tried both recoveries. I see the su file in /system/xbin
edit: reflashed, got SU back. Binaries still out of date... still getting prompts to boot into recovery to install latest binaries. doing so results in nothing, no prompt, no install. how are people updating theirs??

If you're able to get into recovery try dirty flashing the rom

Yea that was my next move... Been sitting at the starting apps screen going on 10 minutes for the third time

Got Rom booted back... But seriously, supersu is prompting me to update binaries through recovery, but it isn't doing anything at all. Root checker says I have no root access. Any ideas?

Working superuser zip

Looking for a working superuser zip I've tried flashing a couple and keep getting installation aborted status 0 error on the ics leak with s on. If anyone can provide some help it'd be appreciated.

Go to htcdev site and unlock your device. You should be able to flash zip from recovery afterwards

I just kept flashing it until it worked. I once had to flash it 5 times before it worked, and more recently, I only had to do it once before it worked.

It did but su wouldn't actually work all root apps didn't even request root access until it went through with no error.

Open superuser and go to settings and update binaries. You also want to install busybox. There's an app u can dl that installs it for u called busybox conveniently

Rezound bootloader unlocked, now what?

I was using the all-in-one tool, successfully unlocked the bootloader, but stuck on the flash recovery part. Does flashing a recovery give root access? And if so, how do I do it? I started up fastboot in the bootloader, then hit the flash recovery option in the all-in-one root program. Command prompt comes up , phone reboots, and I still don't have root access. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Recovery is just a part of the phone that is separate from the OS that you use to manage your system. You can install new ROMs, wipe old ones, make backups, and more.
Flashing recovery does not give you root. You can get root in recovery.
Okay, how can I tell if the recovery is installed, and how do I use it to gain root access? Thanks

Shut down your phone. Take out the battery, and put it back in. Press power and volume down simultaneously until you see the white hboot screen. After the green lines disappear, use the volume buttons to highlight and press power to select "recovery".
Once there, in "other" you can install superuser. If that doesn't work you can flash a zip that is laying somewhere around the forums but I don't have it.
Okay! Now we are in business. Installed super user. Phone boots up fine, going to attempt some tethering. Thanks!

Superuser is installed and updated, but I don't seen to have root access. Any thoughts?

No dice. Should I flash a different recovery? Try and install superuser again?

The only other recovery is TWRP, and it doesn't have a rooting option.
Installed clockwork but you're right I can't find an Su option. Damn. I'm so close!

(Q) Help! How do I unroot my device?

Good day everyone. So apparently I had the courage to root my device using clockwork mod using the i717 method. It was successful and I had superuser installed.
It couldn't get anymore worse. I attempted to install cyanogenmod and it failed. At the restore center (you hold down both volume rockers and the power button), it shows the android robot dead with a red exclamation mark when I attempted to install from a zip file. Fortunately, my phone was able to boot up without issues.
Just now, I installed a root checker app and it says that my phone is not properly rooted. Please, can anyone teach me how to unroot? I can jailbreak my itouch with no issues but this is very complex for me.

Just to clarify, when I open up the zip file of the rom I transferred to my device, it suddenly starts copying to an unknown place of my computer. After that, it would open up the zip file.

flash stock rom via odin
Sent from my GT-S6500D using xda premium
Probably used wrong method. To unroot u just remove su if you want also rm superuser app. But the rest is not because of the root. Can you flash with odin?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes, I can flash using odin and I had just re-root my phone. The root checker now says that the phone is rooted.
Now the problems lie with the copying of rom zip files to my device. Whenever I tried to copy, it would stop around 3 quarter. When I try to open it up, it would start copying to a weird folder inside 'temp'.

The rom is cyanogenmod. But this problem is not about the rom. Instead, it relates more to the transferring of the zip file from the computer to my device.

It's okay. I had installed cyanogenmod through ROM manager and it's really cool!

Is there a way to force a update after yu delete bloatware
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Update won't work without the bloatware installed. If you are rooted then don't forget to install voodoo ota rootkeeper. Then you go inside the app and hit the protect root button before the update.

SO? My bootloader is locked too and I still have custom recovery. Listen I'm working on my update.zip file that will transfer all system apps via cwm. If you have root then get the l9 recovery installer 1.5 from Artas182x from here.
EDIT: Ok here is my update.zip link. Just install the zip in cwm and you should be good to go.

This update bootlooped my device. I wiped and reset my device no avail.
Really, boot looped? Weird, didn't encounter that problem before. Had it to where it would not boot, but never boot loop. Look go here to get s rooted cwm ROM and flash it. But it will reset your phone.
