Lost Root? - Nexus One General

Hey all,
Ive had my nexus for a while now, rooted and all. Applied cyanogenmod the other night and just discovered if i try to run any apps that require you to accept that you are sure you want to proceed, it doesn't pop up. Such as root explorer. Reinstalled superuser and still nothing. If i try to type "su" into terminal i get permission denied.
Have i missed a step or is this a strange issue?
Cheers,

This has been discussed, you can try re-flashing the rom over the top (this fixed the issue for me) or there is an ADB permissions command you can try but I can't remember it (try searching for "root chmod" here

here is the command:
adb remount
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
xkonni posted this in another thread and it worked for me. Beats having to reflash.

Thanks fellers,
It hasn't worked for me, but i found xkonni's other post and am asking them now.
Thanks for the lead!

What is the correct way to add the SuperUser app?

Alright so I installed Haykuro's Hero rom the other night. I noticed su worked fine in terminal emulator, but I couldn't tether cause root apps weren't working. Figured I would try adding the Superuser.apk so that apps requiring root would work for me. I couldn't locate instructions on how to go about doing so and had to wing it a bit.
This is what I tried and it seemed to work...kinda.
Extracted su binary and SuperUser.apk from another build (Haykuro's 6.0r1)
adb push su /system/bin
adb push SuperUser.apk /system/app
All the apps that require root are working, but the SuperUser app is not asking for confirmation on new permissions request. So if I am correct in my assumption, su privileges are being granted to any app that makes a request for them.
If someone would care to elaborate on how this is properly done, I would greatly appreciate it.
If I remember correctly from when Haykuro release the Ion this is all that he said to do. i have done this also and it concerns me as the SuperUser app is give you the option to allow access and it is not working. No safe guard for the phone.
Below code is assuming you have already taken/have the su app from another build it can be found in the system/bin.
Code:
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 4775 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 4775 /system/bin/su
You may also have to clear all data in the SuperUser.apk if you already have it installed. Do this by going to settings> applications> manage applications > Superuser permissions > clear data. But now my phone is asking for superuser permissions. I found this in another Thread but this is a windows.exe file the above codes would work for those who dont use windows and can't run the .exe file that you download there like myself.

clockworkmod recovery is root by default, there is no su cause you don't need it. # = su prompt versus $ = user prompt...

So all is good?
Yes....all is good. Reported.
I'm not issuing warnings yet for questions posted in development which may fall under that scope. I have requested a Q&A sub-forum be created for DI. We'll see how that pans out. Until then, please post questions in the thread where you believe your issue is coming from. Otherwise, please post questions in the DI/General sub-forum until a Q&A forum is created. Thanks!

i have that problem right now. i have the original root(via loop.bat) in place, nothing else. i get the symbol "~#" too when i try to enter the adb shell while in recovery. adb devices show that my phone is attached and i am able to execute most commands. but there are some commands like "cd" that only work in the shell.
so we are going to need to resolve this eventually.
yes, you do not need su in recovery but you will need adb shell.
if there's anyone out there who can help us with this "~#" when typing adb shell in recovery, it would be greatly appreciated.
If you see that then that means you are using adb shell. No need for Su, but if you're removing apps etc mount the /system in the partitions menu of clockworkmod. Then cd /system/app to edit your apps.

[Q] Rooted but adb says I am not?

I searched around several threads and saw a few people with the same issue but no fixes.
I rooted my phone using this and it worked great.
I then installed clockwork manager from here and then installed the clockwork recovery and made my nandroid.
So far so good.
I booted up and then checked the terminal emulator app i had installed and did:
Code:
$su
and got
Code:
#
So, all good.
I then went to remove some of the bloatware by using adb.
When I do adb shell I get the $ prompt.
I type in "su" without quotes and after a few seconds i get "Permission denied".
Seems like i fudged something somewhere but I am not sure what.
Anyone able to offer some constructive help?
Make sure your phone is unlocked when you type su in adb shell, and a superuser permission should pop up.
many thanks for that!
i have been on a rooted G1 with CM for so long that i forgot to even look at my phone when i "adb shell...su" into it =)
did it just now and looked at the phone and the superuser permissions window came up. all set.
thanks again!

s-off but not super user acces!? help please :)

hey well i got to this point :
# # /data/local/tmp/root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
anyhow when i run this it says:
cp: can't stat '/sdcard/superuser.apk': no such file or directory
then is the same but with su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i went ahead and put sync anyhow and when i restart and run 'su' but is says: unknown user root
any ideas what i did wrong? :/
oh and btw somehow i have S-off...
i followed each step, but i just notices this... for some reason it wont let me push superuser.apk or su, all of the other files can be pushed... any ideas?
no one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU9zn_BEth4 i did that way and it works for me.
but i have s-off i supposed to be rooted already but i do not have super user powers... what do i do
Did you copy the Superuser.apk file to the root of your SDcard?
yes i did, and su too and now when i put su on my phone it says unknown user root :/
i can get temporal rooting tough.
Use visionary r13 ... had same issue... worked for me
Get it from pauls visionary thread on Modaco.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
i had the same situation with u few days ago. just follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228 and u only need do the temp root part.
Delete visionary and superuser first, install terminal emulator from market.
on you pc:
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
Then on you G2, open a terminal emulator
Launch Terminal Emulator---/data/local/tmp/rage----Wait for the message: "Forked #### childs."------Menu > Reset Term - Terminal Emulator will exit.-----Launch Terminal Emulator, it Force Closes. Launch a second time, and you'll have a root shell----- run the /data/local/tmp/root script here.---sync.
In the last step, u can find the origin thread dose not let u do this. but, if you've got s-off, trust me, just do the last step "/data/local/tmp/root", and when u see a feedback "****files exist",then "sync",
I got s-off, flashed clockwork recovery and baconbits
setcpu is also working
but when I try typed su then reboot in terminal
it says not permitted
and when I want to get rid of the bloatware ie Finance
root explorer refuses to switch to r/w in data folder
any suggestions
u can also do what i suggested in the 8th floor.

I made this thread to help solve such problem.
After I got S-off, I didn't have root either. I just jumped on visionary (made sure run on boot wasn't checked), clicked root now. And boom, that was it. Then I deleted visionary and I've had root ever since...

[q] help needed on 6.2.1

Hi all,
I got my KF few days back, Rooted it, before I could install the android market, got forced update to 6.2.1. 2 days ago saw this new root method using BurritoRoot. Tried rooting it, seems successful, however, now when I arrived at the home page, I cant even open the Superuser app at all. It goes the same for the Root Explorer - prompting:
"Root Explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access. Because of issues with Superuser, this often happens the first time the app is run but is usually fine from then on. Click ok and restart the app and try again. Make sure u respond correctly to the Superuser prompt." Then it comes with a force close.
Seriously I do not know whats wrong with it, now i cant even use the root explorer for me to install Android Market.
Anybody can help me with it?
Million Thanks.

Im using the ROOT INSTALL - Method 1 and I downloaded the file from Rootzwiki, apparently the file is named "com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk". and I used the following commands:
adb root
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb install com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk
adb reboot
So which means I should use the Superuser -2.apk instead?
What should I do now? Download the Superuser-2 file and repeat the whole process again???
thanks.
yes - the new version seems to be the only one working with burritoroot
consider to use KFU to make things easier:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
should be option 2 (permanent root with superuser)
