S=Off but no SU permissions - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to root my phone last night, and managed to get S=off, but when I go into terminal, I am denied of SuperUser privileges. I used VISIONary to temp root and the command lines to perm-root, and I still don't have Super User permissions. Can anyone help?

you need to do the temp root again after getting s=off one more time. Then it will stick.

Did you install the Superuser app?

Fixed no su permission
I had the same problem where I had s-off but no super user permission. Superuser app fixed that for me

[Problem] [SOLVED] Visionary says I'm rooted, but no SU privileges

I "permrooted" with Visionary + (r12), and it worked for about a day. Then, Titanium, Terminal, etc. no longer had SU privileged, even though Superuser indicated that they did. I tried to "unroot" with Visionary + but it wouldn't work. When I try to root with Visionary, it says I'm already rooted.
Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks.
EDIT: This can be solved by installing Visionary + r13. I'm a new user and can't link, but google "modaco visionary r13"
ALSO, I am unable to downgrade back to the stock version (described in the forums. It won't let me post links), as I apparently lack superuser privileges. Headache.

SU Binary Update

I have seen a lot of people saying they are losing root access if they update SU Binary. I am to assume everyone who has lost their root access did it via some sort of one-click root app. These will only give temporary root access and will break root at the slightest kick in the teeth.
Anyway, I have updated my SU binary, and I still have my root access, I gained root via [GUIDE] How to Root Sprint 2.1 Release for CDMA Hero and I'm S-off. Hope this helps clear up any issues with SU.

I rooted same as you. When I updated binary and was on aosp 0.1.2, I did loose ability to use su like in terminal.
I was able to flash a different recovery with adb so I think it didn't wipe root but something with GB and the super user app didn't work together with the new binary.
I successfully updated binary in froyo. Were you using GB when you updated, and if so, which version?

I was running aospGBmod 0.1.4, updated, then went into root explorer (worked), TE (worked), and TB (worked). I also deleted the old SU that came with the ROM, D/L'd the one from market, then updated. I'll try it again with 0.1.2 and test it out. Also, are you S-off or S-on?

I am S-on.
I just attempted it again using 0.1.4, but I have the same results. Nothing is able to get root rights.
I should've nandroided before trying that. I know better.

Reboot recovery and go back to your last nand, then reboot into whatever rom you were running. Uninstall SU, reinstall from the market, you should be fine then. But I would make a nandroid just to be safe
I attempted to uninstall and reinstall, but it didn't help.
Now that I have updated to 0.1.5, I can upgrade the binary and everything is working as it should.

I am on 2.3.3 and just updated SU Binary. Haven't noticed a problem yet. All previously installed root apps still work, newly installed root apps work as well.
disregard. I am retarded and didn't read what forum this was in.
My phone's still rooted, I used the same method as you.

345 not fully Rooted?????

I cannot gain SU access on ADB Shell after performing the flashable root zip suggested in the update.pkg thread.
Sure root and superuser work on the phone itself. But i got no ADB Shell powers.
anyone else have luck with this?
I get permission denied
It appears my flashable root got messed up by trying to fix permissions in streakmod recovery. Just reflashed and i believe it should work now.
Sent from my Dell Streak
works on mine perfectly.
I did have to install Busybox system/bin .
it works fine
it appears that everytime I flash a clockworkable zip with streakmod it breaks my root.
The only way to get it back is to reflash the root zip. This isn't good.
Same here, fixing permissions screwed up my root. I'm back on 319 until a better root comes along (if it ever does)

I downloaded busybox from the market and installed the 1.17.1 and it worked fine after that.
Goodluck

[Q] ADB No Su?

So I'm learning how to ADB because I bought a G2, but it's on Gingerbread OTA. SO it can't be rooted. I can only root by using the downgrade method which requires ADB. I wanna know how to do it perfectly on my G1 before i brick my G2 Xo. I just can't seem to get SU permissions. Isn't just (adb #su *enter*)? Then the phones ask for SU permission the you get ($). Idk what I'm doing wrong Xo do I need a special file for ADB to do that?

SM-N900V 4.4.2 Root Issues

Just starting to mess with phones again it has been a while!
Okay so I am having a couple of issues..(Back story) I rooted phone with Towelroot Installed Super SU and BusyBox and everything looks good even used Rooter checker and it says I am fine. I am trying to run Linux Deploy and getting access denied errors when it is trying to write files.
I even went into terminal emulator and I cannot even change the permissions on the files. Also Supersu is asking to grant access so I did..
It's like I am getting a false positive.. Says Supersu is working but I think it may not be for some reason.
Did my root or SuperSU not work?
Also is there an install out there so I can completely wipe the phone and not use Verizon's pos?
Thanks guys!
