Can't root after installing Tranquility!
Anyon,e please I could use some advise. Not sure what I should do before I jack up my phone!
If you have lost root, you will need to root your phone again if you want to use bootstrap recovery. Try to find z4root

Reboots when you try to root?

I figured it out, I did a factory reset and was able to download koush's recovery and get back. I guess I still had root, market wouldn't let me download any apps that needed to be rooted.

I can't seem to figure out and i've search around the forums.
Problem im having is i have clockwork downloaded but everytime i try to reboot it automatically loads clockwork recovery and i have to hit the reboot option. Is there any fix that? Thz in advance.

Do you have the x bootstrap recovery installed ? Click the first button & it will say success, do this before every reboot, then reboot. Try reflashing clockwork to make sure its the latest version. Hope this helps.

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.
Ok so I had rooted my D2 a few days ago and had been looking into backup/recovery apps. Now however it seems as if my phone is no longer rooted. Is this possible? I thought I had read another thread where someone else was having this problem but was unable to find it. I tried to open up my superuser app and titanium backup app, but both ended in a failure and asked if my phone was rooted. Thanks in advance for anyone's help with this!
Also, just noticed that my superuser app isn't working correctly. The widget changed from being labeled "superuser" to "superuser permissions". I had assumed that this was after my phone had updated some other applications, however the superuser app won't turn on, it just gives me a black screen. When I tried to update through the market it said "Package file was not signed correctly". I'm unable to find the app on my phone so I can delete and try to download it again fresh. Thanks again for any advice anyone has!

Yeah. Phones can unroot themselves. This usually happens when the phone updates itself. Don't stress though... just root your phone again.
So, then with the superuser permissions app that I found on my phone...if I were to re-root my D2 with a different method of rooting vs the first way, would I be able to uninstall that superuser permissions app if I wanted? Thanks for such a quick response!

What was your first method. I would just use z4root. Also, did you install a custom rom? If so maybe reflash the rom after you are rooted again.

I had used the 1-2-3 step for rooting as my husband had suggested that. I have z4root installed now but haven't done anything yet. My husband had suggested I get some back-up apps for my phones system and also one for my apps in case I kill my phone. Will the droid 2 bootstrap back-up/restore my original phone system in case I do mess it up?

unroot if your phone is not already rooted and try rooting again with superoneclick.
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.
