[Q] Lost Superuser permissions

After the OTA update killed my phone, I used Odin to recover and then put Bionix 1.9 on my phone. Everything was good until last night when I tried to put the 1.91 update on. It looks like I have lost root and/or superuser permissions. I ran Clockwork recovery to load the ROM and it booted, let me pick the ROM and then started giving me error messages like:
The application Superuser Permissions (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. And force close.
Now Titanium backup and other root apps won't work. I tried unrooting and re-rooting with no luck. What should I do?

In Rom Manager run > Fix Permissions.
If that doesn't work un-install Superuser and reinstall.

I don't seem to be able to uninstall superuser. It's like I lost root and can't get it back. There is no superuser app listed to uninstall.

You're probably just better off ODINing back to stock and flashing straight to Bionix 1.9.1. There's some releases of Bionix 1.9 that had some issues, you may have gotten a bad copy.

I am downloading the stock image to my home computer now. Something is all screwed up with my permissions.
I am new to the Samsung so I have a noob question, why do some roms only let you Odin and others clockwork install? I prefer using Odin on the Samsung but I don't know if I can install the Bionix that way. Almost everything on the MT3G side with Cyanogen was done through the boot loader. Even on the MT3G I have had problems with Clockworks from time to time.
Can I extract the Bionix file and use Odin? Sorry for the stupid questions I am just trying to figure this out!

Good question. I myself prefer Clockwork to flash ROMs, since I think it's a lot faster and more convenient than messing with Download Mode. As far as I know, Bionix is only flashable via ROM Manager / Clockwork.

It's all about the way they package it. Sombionix must prefer clockwork installs so he does it that way. I always go download mode if I can. Much more reliable in my eyes.

Same here I always flash from Recovery Mode opposed to Rom Manager for flashing new roms.

I went back to the stock rom and now the phone won't come up. It loads the Vibrant screen then the T-Mobile screen finally the Galaxy S and then goes blank. Is it dead? I have tried flashing it back to the stock rom a few times and it looks like it is working. It does give a message that says it can't wipe the data though.
What should I do?

I'm assuming that you've got a decent charge on the phone (>65%) since you haven't been using it. You can get into download mode just fine right? What version of Odin are you running 1.0 or 1.3? Which stock JFD package did you download? This one has worked for me in the past.
~SB

I used the 1.3 Odin. I reinstalled the drivers from the package I found here forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=803492
I can still get into download mode. I think the battery is above 65% still. I have had it hooked most of the afternoon.
I had also tried the download you linked to.

I just tried again with the files you posted and the same results. It keeps saying that it can't format the data / do the wipe.

Lemme look around the forums and see what I can find. This phone is pretty resistant to bricking. I'm sure there's a fix for this in one of the few million posts here.

Thanks! I can't wait 7 days for a replacement phone.

Try this thread and see if it works for you. Seems like some people were having the same issues.
~SB

I am at the Android System Recovery and it boots with the error like it is supposed to but I can't seem to get the command prompt step. It says to go to a command prompt and run ADB Reboot. Where do I find the A It looks like this DB command at?might work if I can get the phone to reboot.
Edit: I see it is in the SDK.

It's alive!! Thanks SB for all of your help. I have Froyo running. I will leave it there for now.
This site is a better source of help than any other. Thanks again.

[Q] Rooted Vibrant turning on and off

I just had my phone rooted on tuesday by a friend. It started turning itself off for the first few hours and went back to normal for a day. Last night it started turning itself on and off every minute. I know nothing about phones, can anyone help me?

How did your friend root?
Did they delete system apps?
Did they apply lag fixes?
Perhaps just flash a custom rom. Their better than stock and should fix your issue. I hope they didn't do a lag fix. Disable it if they did.

He did something like holding the power button/volume up/down to get into download mode? That's all i know. He said he didn't remove any of the system apps, or change anything. He added a wifi-tethering for me, that's why he rooted it. I know nothing about phones and computers. I'm out of town for another week so i can't have him fix it, but i need to do something so i can use my phone. Any suggestions?

oh ya, he used ODIN if i remember right

I don't know why he would be using Odin if all he was doing was rooting the phone. Can you get to the web to DL anything? I would try flashing something with clockwork till you can re-flash to stock with Odin. You need to find out what exactly your friend did when he worked on your phone.

Can you adb? I would like to see the log.

my phone wont stay on long enough to do anything. When i push the power/up/down buttons at the same time i get a picture of a droid and it says power reset or unknown upload mode

whats adb? I'm a preschooler when it comes to anything computer/phone related

As was I, and that's the only time I've seen that screen.
OP, you're friend definitely did more than simply root your phone. Especially if you say he used Odin? There's no reason to use Odin to gain root.
I would recommend you Odin back to stock and start fresh.

is there any way i can do it without Odin? I'm out of town for a week and need my phone

Rom manager / clockworkmod. Just go to the app store (it's free) and download it. Flash the recovery and flash back to stock 2.1 eclair. It should fix it then when you get home just use the one click root method to root your phone. Check the vibrant bible in android dev. to do it, it's really easy to do yourself since it is literally, one click ^_^ Also for the rom of 2.1 I also recommend going to the vibrant bible for that as well. All you have to do is dl rom manager, put the 2.1 rom on the root of your sd (not external sd) then go into rom manager and install custom rom (pick the stock 2.1). It will wipe your data but your phone should be fixed and you can always dl back your apps and import contacts through your gmail account. Hope this helps.

Samsung Galaxy S GT i9000m Recovery

Ok Fellas! just got my phone last night, rooted it installed the stock froyo JK4.
I come from htc desire so my recovery was bit different installed rom manager & got cloworkmod 2.5.1.2.
Downloaded a rom on phone, rebooted into recovery, but this recovery has purplish text instead of green & there is no install from SD. I cant think of any thing at the moment can some one please help, I wanna install some other rom, other than the stock froyo. PLEASE HELP.

You need to install clockwork revory if you go to the rom manager application there will be an option to flash clock recovery right at the top when you open the application hope this claers things up

yep i did sir, but still there is no option to install from sd, it only allows me to install as update.

from teh rom manager im selecting Galaxy S I9000 for clockwork recovery and it successfully downloads and when i press reboot into recovery its still takes me to the purple screen....i think this means that im not able to get into clockwork recovery any help.??

you have to select 'install update.zip' the first time, this will install clockworkmod and then you can proceed.

The problem is your using 3e recovery and cwm will not work with 3e.
To get 2e recovery you will have to use odin and flash a kernel that has 2e recovery, I suggest hardcores kernal as it comes with cwm already , from there you can install what ever custom rom you want using.the update.zip or installing zip from sd.

the best way to get clockwork working on i9000m (personally i believe)
is to flash the kernel for Speedmod... you should see it in development forum... just flash that kernel with odin
and your recovery will work fine

Hey man thanks alot, do you mind pasting a link here. If you kindly can please and thanks again.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

There are a few things i could suggest.
1. Keep your flashing to a minimum if you have the i9000m. There is a high probability that your phone's memory card is defective and you'll ruin it by accessing it more often. Froyo broke lots of bell phones, and being a rom junky means more flash activity. I am on my second phone, but some people are up to their fifth. Flash a good stable rom and dont go too crazy flashing after that
2. download ODIN, and most 3rd party kernels have 2e i think (http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-download-speedmod.html) - pretty sure speedmod does. voodoo also does, all kernels can be found in the dev section easily
Just make sure you download the ODIN version of the kernel and not the CWM file, because since you dont have CWM already, you'll not be able to use it.
There is a problem with USB mounting your sd cards on your pc without patching, since you are running a stock 2.2, so you would need the patch unless you go to a 2.2.1 rom
3. 2.2.1 runs nicer than 2.2, but i havent flashed to a JPY because i am paranoid about my second i9000m dying before i get a backup phone . You may want to flash a jpy mod (like doc rambone's, or darky's), but if you have battery life problems flash a different modem, like the JK4 modem used in bell's latest official rom

DL30 LEAK INSTALL *My Personal Experince*

Hey Everyone, I thought I'd share how I got 2.2 working on DL05 Fascinate.
I had voodoo5 installed, running cwred
1.) You need to download the rom, and the new CWR
2.) Disable Voodoo5 in Red CW and then flash the new CW GREEN, after you do that reboot your phone, let it disable voodoo it will take time (5 min) on my side.
Soon as it boots up to the fascinate, pull the battery, and reboot into the new CW GREEN.
4.) Flash new Rom, and then wipre date and cache! and done! It takes awhile to boot, I thought mine froze on the Verizon screen for like 4 min.
I have flash, and HID!
Please Do not hold me responsiblity if you brick your phone!
This is just personal experience if you have any questions please let me know, I hope i've helped you!

They've added some stuff, which of course we all wanted froyo. But they have a new app called media hub, for movies, tv shoes, and such. Also you can turn on and off auto rotation, and your mobile data from the drop shade! also you can now sync with yahoo, and hotmail. all share and has google search as your auto, no more bing!

Thanks! There was something about CWR not working on this build, is that still the case? And I heard (from a file apparently posted by Adrynalyne) that SMS and MMS don't work, is there anything else that's not working? Really tempted to flash for the HID so I can use my mini bluetooth keyboard. I don't use SMS anyway (only Google Voice).
Edit: Oh, kaos said in that thread that this isn't the ROM that was on IRC. Cool!
Also, the new dropdown thingies sound awesome, I've been wanting those two forever. And wow, no bing, really? That's really tempting then.
Edit 2: Where'd you get the new CWR?

There is a new CW, floating around somewhere SMS and MMS work great, Also found out you can change your font from the settings menu!

I had a buddy give me the link, hold on

Download the new Clock Work above just in case, flash it. reboot your phone back into clockwork, install foyo, then do a data and cache, RED was only for voodoo

Ok thanks, I'm not interested in using voodoo

Yeah, so it should be a easy process for you

If you aren't running voodoo, just boot into whichever CWM you are using and flash the rom.

I was running VooDoo, so I did the following:
Boot to Red CWM
Disable lagfix
Install Green CWM through Odin
Boot to Green CWM, wipe, flash DL30_leak.zip

I just flash CWM Green with the new zip file. easier to do it that way.

Ugh my phone is unable to mount as mass storage and its driving me nuts... Just says its a cd drive despite multiple reboots. Anyone know of a fix yet?
Edit: Hmm made it ask every time I connect and that actually worked for mounting so if anyone has this problem, try that.

Turn the USB into DEBUG Mode, should get you rocking

Or is there an easy way to included it in the kernal page file or something that set cpu uses? Also is there a way to get the voodoo color fix or a tweak that works that will make the brightness lower at the lowest setting for 4.0 becase the brightness on this screen is way to brght at night time. I used to have a tweak like this in syndicate rom for 2.1 it was great. Any info would be great thanks guys.

So I battery pulled and tried to install another rom (verion 4) and it had an error in CW installing,
Then I tried installing a rom I have used before (epic experience) and CW would not install that one either.
So I used Odin to go back to stock everything and then unlocked it and now I am on a stock rom rooted.
Why do you think it is hanging there? I am scared to flash again as I think it will do the same? But if the forum needs the exact error msg I will install it again as I really want to get this rom working.

I can't remember what stepping is on the kernel as we have been beta testing 4.0.1 and have been mainly dealing with a new setCPU governor called interactive. Were also still working on the other governor called smartass as well. I think that the stepping goes directly from 400 to 800, but we are always looking to go faster and with better battery life. I'll bug Randy and Mammon about it.
The sound will be Voodoo version 7, but I don't think the Voodoo color fix is going to make it into 4.0.1. Sorry, but we can't do everything...at least not all at the same time.

Did I see a similar post on the Bonsai website earlier today? I just want to verify that you were using CWM 3.0.0.6 as anything else will cause problems like that. Also when you get to these kinds of problems you should attempt a second flash of Bonsai before going to the trouble of a ODIN job. A second flash seems to fix a whole variety of odd kind of problems.
As you can imagine with all the beta testing I do I'm always finding ways to corrupt my phone. Some days I have managed to bork it 3-5 times.
I decided to test out today a 4.0.1 install directly from DI18 > CWM 3.0.0.6 > Bonsai 4.0.1 full rom. It went great with no problems at all and running just fine, so far

I think that is my problem, I am using a the CW that came with the one click unroot.
So I guess I need to do this, even if I am already rooted?

Do not use Rom Manager to be installing the beta CWM files. The correct way is with one of the 1 step CWM tools in the development forum. 3.0.2.4 is half-finished and is very difficult even to navigate through the various menu's. I know this because I tried out that CWM version for some grins one day. It will majorly screw your Epic if your not extremely careful. When DI18 was prevalent Rom Manager worked great to root your phone. When we started the move into the Froyo roms Rom Manager quit working and that is why the 1 click then became more prevalent.
Just follow the directions posted all over the place and Bonsai will install just fine and you will be a happy camper.

I am installing it now after updating to CW3 (from CW2.5) . I think it will come out fine now, I am an idiot and didn't realize the original one click root installed an older version of CW.

Some people do and some don't I do know that Randy has instituted quite a few bluetooth linux upgrades into 4.0.1 rom. Some people are able to clear the data, but the problem usually reappears. Mattalica76 has the link to a more permanent fix to this problem, give him a PM.

Thanks for the support T Nurse,
I loaded the EC05 stock from Odin as I still dont have a grasp on EXT4 file system.
last thing I tried was cw3.0.0.6 and loaded Bonsai and it installed, just hung at samsung screen. might be a corrupt rom file.
1) So after flashing CW3, bonsai is supposed to change the file system over to EXT4 automatically after flashing, correct?
2) will windows 7 be able to read the sd card after it is changed over to ext4 (by bonsai), or will it have 2 partitions, one windows can read fat32 and the other ext4 it cant.

I loaded the EC05 stock from Odin as I still dont have a grasp on EXT4 file system.
last thing I tried was cw3.0.0.6 and loaded Bonsai and it installed, just hung at samsung screen. might be a corrupt rom file.
1) So after flashing CW3, bonsai is supposed to change the file system over to EXT4 automatically after flashing, correct?
2) will windows 7 be able to read the sd card after it is changed over to ext4 (by bonsai), or will it have 2 partitions, one windows can read fat32 and the other ext4 it cant.

CWM3 will convert your filesystem to ext4 the first time you boot into it. It won't touch the sdcard so that won't be converted. After CWM is finished with the conversion, do not reboot the phone, you will then flash Bonsai.

After flashing the boot script of cwm 3.0.0.6 you then have to power off. Then hold down the camera button, vol down, and power keys at the same time and the EXT4 script will automatically start to format your system. Please keep in mind that it is not formatting the SD card, but only the read only memory of the phone.
After you finished a few beers it will be done and will drop you back to cwm. Do not reboot, but flash bonsai. After bonsai is finished then reboot.
