If I wanted, can I odin my phone to stock dg27 and OTA to DI18 and use z4root to root? Then once I do that, would I still need a pc to install clockwork? I want a fresh epic, but I'm sure ima miss root priveleges and wanna quick root and install clockwork without having to use my pc...

You should be able to download the CWM Rom Manager from the market. Then select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and you should be good to go.
They finally fixed it!?

I guess I recall having a problem with it at first too. Turns out superuser was prompting for root rights but wasn't displaying on top of the CWM screen. I think I just tried it until one time SU came up properly, then the flash worked.
I'm rooted running honeyvillian with stock kernel, super user keeps force closing. I can gain root in terminal via the su command, root explorer is granted su permissions but titanium, setcpu and rom manager, Acer recovery all give a permissions denied.
I've updated the su binary, unrooted and re rooted, seems root is fine then unexpectedly starts to force close, I was going to run fix permissions in rom manager yet was denied tried in terminal fix_permissions not recognized should I attempt fix permissions via cwm?
Or should I return to stock, unroot and start all over?
Thanks for the input.

Contact Honeyvillain DEVS to report Honeyvillain issues. BAM! -OR- Go back to stock. BAM!
... BAM!
Will do, thanks for the helpful advice.

Im trying to root my D2. Followed the guide on TheUnlockr. Got to one of the final steps (the one where it tells you to download ConnectBot and type cd /data/local/tmp, enter, ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin).
That works for me. Then it says something like "forked xxxx children". Then I type exit, and it freezes til it force closes. I can't reopen the app after. I have to uninstall/reinstall and usually pull the battery.
I've tried different terminal emulators as well; they all do the same thing.
Has anyone else rooted using this method? am I doing something wrong? Btw, I have a Droid 2 Global (if it matters) running 2.3

Try this one instead:
http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/
That, or search for Z4Root, it will root a Froyo Droid 2 or D2G, but if you already ran the OTA GB update it will not, you'd need the method above.
Thanks, I'll check it out in a little bit. I did use the Z4 method prior to the recent OTA update. It said it worked, but I couldn't flash a custom rom. Also, when I used a Root Checker from the Market, it said I wasn't rooted either. This is all before I updated.

Edit: That one-click method didn't work either. It went through, rebooted my phone three times, and said it should be rooted. I used that Root Check app, and it said I didn't have root access. Also went to use Barnacle Wi-Fi Tethering, and that said I didn't have root either, even though I have SU on my phone.

I would SBF back to Froyo and run the OTA again, that will guarantee the root is removed. Then use the link I provided and you should have SU. Running Z4 might have corrupted some files since it's not compatible with OTA GB.
How do u go back to froyo

So i just odin'd from miui to stock, went to root, everything went fine. except that it kinda didnt. now, whenever i try to use an app that requires root (rom manager, root explorer, etc) it crashes. Superuser does it too.
is there something i'm missing? i've odind many many times, with no problems whatsoever. this time tho, nothing root related works. i've tried re-odining, rerooting, with different files that i've had on my computer for ages, with new ones just downloaded, with AIO. all to no avail.
any ideas?
I've noticed that Superuser has had some updates lately that could be the issue.

did you reboot the phone right after rooting?
Could you try using my noob guide and my update.zip files.... I prefer B as it is the fastest method. The ROM will give you root access.
Or get old school oneclicklagfix 2.3, I use it every time now. Root zip built in.

I recommend going back and using the noob guide option recommended above. It has also worked perfectly for me.

Hi guys,
Anyone using GFE on there rooted samsung epic? My company checks for root and was wondering if the Supercurio root keeper will work to do a temp unroot and have access to GFE. Any idea if I need to rename or remove superuser.apk if I use the Supercurio root keeper?
Thanks..
Why not just make a backup via cwm and have a stock non rooted rom running? Do they check for just SU or the 9 yards? If so you could odin in the stock el30 package by toadlife, odin a recovery , make a backup and flash whatever rom then if your company decides to check restore the back up and you'll be find

The whole 9 yards I'm afraid . That is an idea but was hoping not to flip back and forth from stock to rooted. But if there is no other way it's probably the route I'm going to have to take.
Also it makes sense that it should work but since I never went back and forth from stock to rooted from CWM. The question is coming to my mind will it work? Or do I need to Odin to switch back and forth.
What is GFE?
Edit: why would it even care about root...

I use GFE and I am rooted using mostly stock ei22 rom from xbtx. I thought GFE app had some sort of checking for rooted devices not that the company checked for rooted phone. How would the company check to see that your phone was rooted ?

Good For Enterprise, it's an app to get your corporate email on your phone.
I use it, and we don't check for root.... I seem to recall from my GFE training that they can check for it, we don't.
I use GFE and I also have it deployed to hundreds of users at my company. I'm not sure if I'm somehow using a different version of the Good management console, but I don't remember having an option to check for rooted devices? I'll double check tomorrow, but I feel like I would remember seeing that option.

GFE the app has a check. From what I read it looks for superuser.apk and whatever else is root related. Coworker of mine has the same phone and rooted rom and got a message that the phone won't provision with gfe because against company policy i.e. phone is rooted.

the donate version of superuser has ghost mode, the apk hides and you can only access it through a dialer code you select. you can set it to refuse and superuser requests while in ghost mode or to allow based of your settings.
can you check for superuser without superuser permissions?
i'm sure you need something more but a chance to plug elite, i couldn't refuse.
Thanks. I'll give the ghost superuser a try. Maybe a combination of SuperCurio rootkeeper and this will work.
Well I got the superuser elite but it looks like ghost mode just hides the icon. Not sure if this will work. As GFE will still find superuser in both the /sbin and /xbin.
Update- Still not in compliance tried both rootkeeper and super user elite.

Unfortunately, this will not work. I'm not sure what doesn't match up, but each time you flash, even from a backup, it will want you to reactivate with the Good server. Fortunately, I work in IT and can get a PIN in about 4 seconds, but for someone who is at the mercy of their IT department...flashing then begging them for a new PIN isn't a good option
Weird. I backup with MyBackup Pro, and I don't have to reset my PIN every time.....
From what i gather as long as you backup good in offline mode. It wont require a pin everytime you flash. I haven't tested this my self but have read people having success using this method.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
That could be, I only turn mine on when I'm oncall.
Can you set your PIN to never expire? Last job we had that, so the handful of users who had it didn't have to get a new PIN every time.
I've been looking for Jailbreak/Root detection, but haven't found it yet. Saw it in a manual but it didn't say where to set it.
Ae these companies you guys are talking about using exchange email servers or what?? What is so different that you are using this gfe app rather than stock email app? I run corporate exchange from stock email app and no issues with being rooted however I am the network admin too though lol.

Supposedly, GFE allows for better data protection. We pay for it because of the potential for PHI* on the device. We do have OMA here, but until we upgrade our servers to Exchange2010 we don't have as much control over the device and can't remotely wipe it if it goes missing.
Or so I'm told. /shrug

So I went ahead and tried to unroot my rom. By just deleting superuser.apk and su by using adb. Only issue I'm seeing is that everytime I reboot su and superuser.apk come back and the phone is rooted again. Any ideas why? Surely GFE will not work if root returns after reboot .

You're using a rooted kernel.
Thanks k0nane! That makes sense.

I use a combo of renaming superuser.apk and installing supersu and freezing gfe to bypass the checks.... pm me if u need info.
