For some reason I cannot get my girlfriends phone to boot setCPU properly. Well, it does boot, but it doesn't get root access. So I've downloade SuperUser, but this doesn't do it .
Does anyone know how to get setCPU working>?

Anyone know how to get permanent root?What i mean by permanent is when i reboot the phone i still have it.
I usually update to D107 then root phone using one click root method,install magic aosp rom,go to SuperUser(which i placed in /system/app folder) it ask me to update to newest version,i click ok and it works,i get root access in Estrong File Manager and other root apps,i can delete and modify /system folder from Estrong file manager.
After reboot i go to Estrong file manager and it doesnt work any more,SuperUser looses its update and any root app i install after reeboot dont get SuperUser prompt for root access anymore.And if i try to update SuperUser it says that update was successful but at the bottom i don't see new version.I still get root if i adb shell su,but on android i don't get asked for su anymore and i dont think i have root on the phone.Can anyone post step by step instruction for getting "permanent root",Thanx in advance.
I think you do have root, but the issue is that root has to be re-enabled after every reboot (it is done automatically and doesn't require user intervention). Don't ask me why, but that seems to be how root in the Epic currently works with the jk method. The superuser app will work only the after it is installed, and subsequent to a reboot, will loses its ability to control permissions, and any new apps that need (or want) to get superuser status will do so without a prompt from the superuser app, which could be bad depending on the app.

Thanx man,that definetly looked promising but dint fix the problem.I wondrer if its just certain phones that have this problem because I don't see many people complaining or is it just certain roms and kernels.

Hey bro, this is what i did because last night i installed the mix kernel and was getting to many dropped calls even in voicemail.
I re-flashed my epic to complete stock, i then ran the Andro/koush one-click method to get clockwork recovery. Then i flashed the Bub's AOSP Magic rom, now i tried to install Andro kernel to get superuser but this didn't work (couldn't gain root), so then i removed superuser.apk and install fluff kernel power saver one and have perm root.

If i remember correctly those was the steps i did.

Thanx man,that fixed my root,you saved me alot of trouble,i guess it was the kernel.Oh and the fluff kernel is probably the smoothest kernel i used so far,now my root is there all the time,thanx again.
How do I set setcpu from not reseting when I reboot my phone I do have perma root and I am using the original rom still. Thanks
u need to check set on boot on the main screen when u change the speed
Hmm ok I did that but ill try it again
I unable to gain permission from Superuser to be able to use SetCPU. I am using "[DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM", I downloaded SetCPU but nothing happened, so I figured its something with my root so I used the "One Click Root". I rooted it, rebooted it, tried to use SU, nothing happened, then I unrooted followed by a re-root and another reboot, once again opened SU but nothing happens. I still cannot use SetCPU and SU just has a blank black screen, I cannot seem to find a solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Please help!
You need a rooted phone before you can use superuser.
Download z4root.
so im fairly new to android (converting from iphone) and bought myself a wildfire to check it out. So far ive used unrevoked to root and flashed the wildpuzzle ROM, now im attempting to overclock the processor. ive saved the 0163_768mhz_cpu_speed_v1.zip to my PC, copy to SD, installed from reboot menu and downloaded setCPU. But the max is still 528 mhz on setCPU :/ any ideas on where im going wrong?
If that is not working, first, flash the 0130 file (kernel), then try 0163. Also, if you flash 0130, you dont need 0163, and, can set the speed as you wish from within SetCPU.
Try it out.
BTW, I hope by "Installed from Reboot Menu" you mean entering into Recovery Mode, Selecting Install Zip from SDC, and selecting the particular Zip file.
One last thing, remember to take a Nandroid backup before flashing any overclockable kernels.
yes thats what i meant
I tried the 0130 file, had to unistall and re-install setCPU but is now running at 768mhz! thanks for the help 3xeno
That's great, but, just as an info, I would not recommend keeping it at 768. Most phones are unstable at that, and, performance actually drops. Try 710 or 729.
With the overclocking done, PSX4droid works well?
Hello
Ive just installes taboonay 2.1. It was working great until i reboot. Then superuser didnt want to allow apps such a setcpu and other even if their superuser status are still authorised
please help
the infamous taboonay 2.1 root problem... I had the same problem and restored to 2.0... only I still don't have root back? I'm confused
The same here
I had the same issue with taboonay 2.0, i thought it would be solved with 2.1, but as far as i know it's a common issue with new version of ROMs taboonay and honeyvillain.
I think it's a SU problem in general. Maybe it needs an upgrade or a new binary.
I'm using honeyvillain 1.2 and i have SU problems when apps try to get SU permissions at boot only. If i open them, they get SU permission immediately.
Ive found this and it worked
I don't know whether my way is useful to you or not.
I flash the rom, reboot fail to get the root. Then re-flash the rom and flash beta4 superuser as they given. Also fail after reboot.
Then I think why I flash the HoneyVillain rom but never lose root. It is also a HC3.2 rom. So I decide to mod the beta4 superuser zip file. I replace the both su and superuser.apk with the same files extracted from HoneyVillain rom and signed it. I fully wipe and re-install the rom and flash the su_mod.zip that I made and wait it ran. Ok! went into system and It got the root, then power down and started it again. Cool! still got the root. Tested by root explorer and terminal(command :su root).
Modified superuser, use cwm to install and must re-flash the rom or you will fail.

reinstalling su 3.0 beta 4 got root back for mein 2.0 but not 2.1... something being restored by titanium backup in 2.1 seems to be causing the problem but with 2 boys under 5yrs old destroying my house as I type, I don't have time to try to figure out what's causing the headaches... so 2.0 for now I guess
oh well i did replace the superuser and still fail.
Now trying something else.
So far ive been booting my iconia more than 5 times and yet im still rooted.
Its weird.
What's your new trial if you don't mind my asking?
I noticed that whenever i ran full apps restore from Titanium Backup, followed by a reboot..my root is gone.
So i did carefully restore my apps. Apps that uses root functions i didnt restore em. E.g SetCPU.
But before my final flashing, these was my steps
1. Wipe steps (data/cache/dalvik)
2.Flash Taboonay 2.1
3.Flash su-3.0-beta4-efgh (from androidsu.com/3-0-beta)
4.Flashed Thor Kernel 3.4 (from tegraowners.com/?p=1005)
I noticed thor kernel 3.5 is out but i havent tested that
Then when restoring, make sure u restore apps that doesnt use root functions.
Here im still playing/customizing/rebooting almost 10 times and still rooted..
Good luck.
and that is without restoring any root apps? Did you fresh install setcpu or anything yet?
yes i didnt restore any root apps nor system apps. just normal apps/games
Root apps that i fresh install and using right now are
Titanium Backup 4.2.1
RootExplorer
RootCheck (to see whether device still rooted or not plus double confirm using terminal *su root)
So far i dont see the need of installing SetCPU since you can O.C through tabootools.
Only profile i need for O.C is when my screenon/off.
Ill keep playing with taboonay 2.1 and see whether i'll get root issues again
thanks ill have to give that a try later... I wasn't sure how well tabootools handled thors crazy new steps
okay dont forget to let me know whether it succeed or not on root issues =]
im wondering if pimp my cpu has the same effect on this as setcpu?
uninstall setcpu, now it will root and su works fine. Use other oc utility.
uninstallng didn't help I had to rewipe and install the rom again and I'm using system tuner... I really miss setcpu though... of course root is more important
ah so i was right after all
I uninstalled set cpu, and now I'm using tabootools for oc. Also I saw there is a final version of SU v3 on the android market and i upgraded my su in my x8 and now everything is fine.
