I followed the first guide and rooted via flashrec, and flashed the Fresh 2.1.1 rom rather than Damage Control or Fresh 2.0, since I didn't think it mattered what rom I flashed. Now just about every application force closes and I'm not sure what to do. Also, I get an internet connection but I can't download apps from the market. I'm a total newbie at this. It's my first time rooting anything. I just got so frustrated with Sprint and HTC and their crappy 2.1 update (which neither I, HTC, nor Sprint could successfully execute) that I decided to "go underground."

Did u wipe everything..before the flash?
No I didn't. I told you I was a newbie.
I wiped and reflashed, and that certainly helped, but I've still gotten four or five force closes.
Thanks.
It's been working flawlessly for me. Did you re-format and create an ext3 partition on your SD chip or wipe it if you already had one? If you didn't it might be causing problems with apps3sd.
I also was having some trouble when I was using a different recovery than was suggested. I used fresh kitchen to fix the recovery, re-flashed and, like I said, flawless!
Good luck!
I've become a fan of the Cyanogen Mod Nightlies, and have enjoyed the benefits of all the hard work the developers have been putting into the daily products. I did, however, encounter a problem that I've been unable to solve. Somewhere after installing 98, I noticed that certain apps where no longer recognizing my phone as being rooted. I downloaded root checker and it confirmed my suspisions. I still have superuser priviledges and programs such as Titanium still recognize my root, but others such as root uninstaller and others do not. I tried rolling back to my previous NAND backup, but didn't fix issue. Anyone else has experienced this issue? I know that several people posted similar comments after ROM 104, but haven't seen further comments. Any suggestions how to fix? I did run the SU. UPDATE.ZIP file as well as the unrevoked zip file and neither worked. Phone (EVO) currently running ROM 105. Thanks.

I would first recommend running fix permission from rom manager/recovery. if that doesn't work, backup your apps via titanium, then do a fresh install of the rom.
Ok, will give it a shot.

Download superuser from the market it includes a fix for that issue.
My tab wont root. I have CWM installed and when I install the root zip it says installed so I reboot it. When my tab has booted rooted apps say no root so I installed root checker and it sayed no root. Ive tried rooting it over and over again but no luck
You are missing something somewhere.
At your own risk...
Go into Rom Manager app on your tab and "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Reboot normally and see if that helped.
Really I don't for know for sure just trying to help.
Let us know if it does.
Edit- Follow this post to root completely. Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip You're may not be completing it. After installing CWM you have to install Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip to actually get root. Sorry if you are but, Ive seen where several people have stopped thinking they're rooted after installing CWM.
Sorry I can't help if you're following this ppost completely and still having problems. Someone with a real knowledge of this will be by soon if you're still having problems. Just reply to bump the post saying you already did everything the way the post says to be completed and others will come help I'm sure.

Don't do the ROM manager step above. I don't remember what that does, but I guarantee it doesn't root your tablet. If you really have installed CWM (through ODIN; if not you're doing it wrong), then just flash a custom ROM like Task650 v14. You'll get root and a great ROM at the same time. Or use Romanns ICS Kang if you don't mind a few bugs and no camera. Either way, you'll end up with root.
Check if u got superuser! If u have it open it once and keeping that in task open ur rooted app to work on

You're right. By itself it doesn't root your tab. It does give you access to cwm when you reboot into usb mode so you can install the rooting file mentioned above which "is" what actually gives you root.
If you stop after only flashing cwm using Odin you will NOT actually have root yet.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think just flashing a custom ROM before you get root will not give you root. You have to have root BEFORE flashing a custom ROM. Correct?
I'm not trying to be argumentative here and I have a feeling we may be taking about apples and oranges.

Nope. we're on the same page. Once you have CWR, you can install a rooted ROM; all of the custom ROMs are "pre-rooted." (the "root" zip just roots the stock ROM you're already on).
Thanks for the info. I really thought you had to be rooted before installing a custom ROM such as Task14, etc... I'll try to remember to try this next time I feel like messing around.
Thats the only part I really thought you were wrong about.
The rest of the issues are just individual opinions and everyone has one. LOL

Currently Running Miui 2.7.1.3 i believe the numbers are, whichever the latest version of the rom is. It installed no problem, was merely updating to try to fix theme issues from 2.6, and here is where the problem begins:
So i was browsing my phone and realised that i didn't have superuser on there, wondering why because usually every rom i ever ran had it automatically on there, installed it off of another site, the elite version, and from there everything got screwed up, i don't know what happened or why it started but, i could no longer run busybox, TBU, setcpu, nothing that requires root, due to the fact that superuser was denying root. I had no clue why, i've been reading threads for hours similar to "Superuser denying root" and such, and to no avail, the problem is still there, i have set superuser to both prompt and allow when asking for root, and neither worked, so i figured a clean fresh reflash of MIUI would help, however even after wiping and a clean install, root does not work, ive read some articles describing to just unroot and root again however it's been so long since ive rooted a phone, can anyone direct me to the best way to do this without having to do an ODIN and set up my phone allover again, keep in mind that it is still S-Off. What am i doing wrong?
I also have tried to clear data for superuser, as well as install multiple versions, neither have worked.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
ROBLEM SOLVED:
To those with similar problems to this who have ruled out other reasons, described in this thread, abandon Superuser and download SuperSU instead, it fixed my problem.
Odin is for Samsung Phones and if u lost root redownload the rom or Google super user and download the binaries and just flash them.

You're very likely doing so much wrong..
MIUI has an option in settings - "allow superuser privileges". You didn't turn it on, and it's off by default. That's it. And from there you went to a whole new level of going the wrong way.
No amount of restoring to stock and re-rooting can help you. Root privileges aren't phone-specific, they're ROM-specific, and relevant only for the ROM currently on the phone. Reflash the ROM with something else - and existence or inexistence of root will depend on this "something else". Thus I fail to understand, what were you looking for when restoring to stock. It was as irrelevant as could possibly be.

I believe you got two troubleshootings steps backwards.
After you have searched and exhausted every troubleshooting step you found (which obviously wasn't thorough), you should have posted in the MIUI thread about the problem. They might have scolded you a little before answering, but you would have gotten your answer.
Flashing back to stock is ALWAYS your last resort. It should only be done after scouring the web for answers, then asking for the answer, and when there is no other alternative - FroYo PD15IMG.zip.
Jack is blunt, but as he's as right as always.
I'm not one to deny mistakes, that sure was stupid of me not to look, i guess i just thought there were deeper problems than just the rom having it turned off, anyway i'm doing the downgrade now and it should work, thank you for the help its appreciated

Could you point me to this "allow superuser privileges"? I have restored with recovery and have yet to find such a setting.
If you are referring to the permission guard, it allows everything, and there is no setting to simply turn it on
No, not this one. It's been some time since I sold my Nexus One, which was running MIUI back at the time, but I understand that in the newer MIUI there is an app or setting, called LBC guard, which controls both Superuser access and app permissions. Try looking it up.
P.S. I remember CM team member post, saying that the newer CM9 also come with root privileges turned off by default, because they decided it's a safer way.
Right, and the Permission Guard is run by LBC guard, there is no way to set anything different from what i have, i believe its a problem with the busybox binaries and superuser binaries, i'm trying to use this SuperSU instead of superuser to see if that will work. If i remember correctly before all this happened i may have hit uninstall busybox by accident and that may be why its not working, could be that ive never had busybox working and haven't been able to install it due to the SU problem
EDIT: Yes i have solved it now, SuperSU actually makes the prompts for superuser come up now, im using it instead of superuser entirely, must be deeper problems with original superuser
If you had SuperSU installed on the system and additionally installed the regular Superuser, or the other way around - these two are incompatible on binaries AFAIK, and mixing the applications without cleaning up the build and using the correct binary could cause what you were experiencing.
Yes your probably correct only i had two separate versions of superuser that didnt overwrite and that must be where the binaries got messed up
The 1st thing I usually do when I install a new rom, is install SuperSU, update the binaries then I use Titanium to uninstall Superuser.

MIUI uses a customized superuser app. Use it and follow the instructions. Cnote ports the ROM. He knows what he's talking about.
Hello, I am a newbie and looking for a miracle. I am going to apologize for the length of this message in advance. Couple days ago I perm rooted the HTC Glacier Mytouch 4g using the instructions at //wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_glacier . As instructed, I downgraded the software to 1.17.531.2 and then perm rooted with S-Off on the device. Then, I installed the cyanogenMod 7.2.0-glacier (stable version) with the google apps. Everything worked great and was happy.
Right after I installed AdFree from Googleplay, I had issues but problem may not be caused by this app. Googleplay gave me a message of an “error no connection”. I got a message that the “ADWLauncher failed to launch” over and over again which prevented me from doing anything else. I was able to reboot the phone in between the notifications of the ADWLauncher failure. When I was back up and running, I got the same message of Googleplay “error no connection” and ADW failure very quick after start up. I pulled the battery and did a hard power up (volume down plus power button at same time). This is when things got worse. The Hboot starts up and wants to update, which I did but then I could not choose recovery mode to install a backup. If I choose not to update Hboot, then I only have the option to restart the phone. I can see on top of the screen “Glacier PVT SHIP S-OFF” .
Wait – things get worse. I am no longer running the cyanogenmod ROM but am back to the downgraded ROM 1.17.531.2. I still can’t download from googleplay because I get the message “Error no connection”, even though I am running on the old ROM. I can’t download apps from the phone, but I can push apps to phone from my googleplay account. I did push the ROM Manager app to the phone. When I start the ROM Manager, I get the message “You must root phone for ROM to function. Superuser was not found at “/system/bin/su” or “/system/xbin/su”.
I tried to start the recovery through adb using “adb reboot recovery”, but I get a power off symbol (a red circle) and phone freezes. I need to pull the battery to reboot.
Again sorry for the length. I am hoping for a miracle. Since I can’t do anything in the hard power up mode, I need to find a way to fix through adb or fastboot. Does anyone know how to get the Superuser installed through adb or fastboot? Is there a way to flash another custom ROM that has a superuser installed through adb or fastboot?
BTW. Gmail works fine.
thanks

I would download a recovery image and use fastboot to install it. Maybe something is wrong with your recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Then wipe system, do a factory reset, and wipe dalvik-cache before flashing a ROM. Also, re-download your ROM.

hey all, I could use a little help on my phone. I tried to root it and I am stuck I have been using my old evo3d since it came out, and just picked up an HTC 10, so I am rusty on rooting and other things.
Anyway, I unlocked the bootloader on the HTC10 via htcdev,
installed twrp
flashed supersu (this where where the issue started)
so basically I thought I was rooted, did a root checker app and it said I wasn't.
I went to reflash supersu.zip and wiped everything again, but actually wiped EVERYTHING, no OS on my phone now.
Anyway, I am now asking for help. I am S-on right now, can get in to recovery, but just don't want to screw it up more. So could use a few tips. I am thinking about flashing the bad boy rom, but am wondering if I need to be s-off or anything like that? or can I just put the zip on my sd card and flash?
Thanks,
did you flash the modified su

I did use that one when I did it. It didn't seem to work, (a couple apps said that there wasn't root) so in the process of trying again, I am pretty sure I wiped EVERYTHING on the phone. Literally no android on it at all I think. I can get in to htc download and in to twrp recovery, but nothing else. So at this point, I need to figure out how to flash either a custom rom, or a stock, or what ever just to get my phone back. Thanks for any help
I do know that it does require you to format data because of encryption.

Remember that pretty much all your custom ROMs come rooted. No need to root the stock ROM unless you plan to stay stock.
Way too many times I see people having trouble or run into problems trying to root, when all they want to do is install a custom ROM.
