Hi all, I am having root issues, my phone is obvioulsy rooted as I would not be able to flash a custom rom, however I do not have root access, if I try to install an app that requires root access I get errors saying I do not have permissions, now I have tried all the different ways to gain access, including z4root, gingerbreak, visionary temp root and the indepth abd rage root, none of these succeed, I figure updating the roms using clockwork so I do not lose my settings must have something to do with it as I must had had root access once because superuser had two apps in there, droid overclock was one.
I am running JW MIUI 1.5.20 rom (great rom by the way) and I am wondering what any of you think would be the next step? do I do a complete wipe and start again? I dont want to to be honest as it means setting everything up again.
Thanks in advance.
is there anyone out there that can offer some advice??

[Q] I used z4 and did "Permanent root". Does that mean I can flash custom ROMs now?
I used z4 and did "Permanent root". Does that mean I can flash custom ROMs now?
I am still running the Verizon stock rom for the DroidX. It is nice, but I want to explore the other custom options out there. What do I need to do in addition to rooting I guess, is my real question. And is the z4 root method sufficient, it was just one click and a reboot, but I do have superuser abilities now.

yes z4 root is sufficient as far as rooting goes ,now install rom manager and koush bootstrap recovery from the market ,they are free,as far as deodex you shouldnt have to worry about it since most roms will deodex for you when they install,but if you want to just place a theme without placing a rom then you will have to deodex first since the rom is not there to do it for you first.i would suggest reading this and get a better understanding

You might wanna use Unrevoked to root your device. Also, this is the Droid X forum, head over to the Evo section and there's loads of helpful information over there, including how to root using Unrevoked.

This does not work for me - it installs nicely, and the phone seems rooted. When I started Titanium Backup, the screen froze. After rebooting the phone the phone wasn't rooted anymore. Weird. Tried z4root, didn't work either. This on a new 2.2 phone.
can i ask U where can i download and install android 2.2 for my blade?
thanks.
Modified z4root where permanent root works! by kallt_kaffe
but it seems to be just another custom rom, isn't it? i just wanna have android 2.2 and dont loose assurance... i dont know if there is official release yet..
anyway, thanks
Was answering op, best bet is too root clockwork mod and flash custom, you can revert by flashing stock to which will also remove clockwork for if you need to return for warranty purposes.
ROM in sig is sweet

facing a problem with my Dell XCD35(ZTE Blade),had tried to unroot using z4root the process went as usual but after the reboot the phone is on a loop at the animation screen.Any idea how to rectify this.Thanks
P.S When I try the hard reset the phone doesn't show the green android but only the FTM message.
Hi,
Before upgrading to Gingerbread, I would like to know if the root
for Gingerbread is working fine and if the phone is, after being rooted , stable.
Daniel
If anyone wants to give this a bash you could try Gingerbreak:
NB. Your phone MUST already have S-OFF if you don't want to have to downgrade first.!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
I think you need to downgrade again before you can root your phone.
But in the development section there are stock 2.3 roms with root. Probably that's the right thing for you

Hi guys. I installed the gingerbreak apk & ran it.
It said it didn't work so I ok'd it & exited the app without rebooting.
I opened gingerbreak again & it asked if I would allow super user permission. I said yes.
Is this when I downgrade? Or can I just put new ROM on sdcard and boot into bootloader & flash it?
Sorry guys, all this is pretty complex stuff to me
Hi Folks.
For me Gingerbreak ran flawlessly.
Came from stock rom 1.32.405.6 rooted. ENG. & Radio S-off.
Installed Stock Gingerbread OTA.
Set USB debugging on.
Download & install superuser from market.
Download & install Gingerbreak.
Run Gingerbreak.
Choose "Root device"
Done!
Took about 5 min. Not counting OTA upd. of course.
Regards.
ELO
I installed the gingerbreak apk & ran it.
Gingerbreak rebooted my device but it is still not rooted.
I have S-OFF, USB debugging on and have ibstalled Superuser.
I have tried it twice.
Any idea what to do?
I have just noticed that after having upgraded to Gingerbread, My phone became S-On . This is the reason why I can't root my phone
Daniel

The information you need can easily be found in the guides on the forum, there is no need for us to hold your hand and guide you step-by-step through the whole procedure. That's what the guides are for. You need to educate yourself a bit as rooting and flashing etc. are for users with atleast some experience. We're not using iPhones here where iTunes and Apple do everything for you. This might sound a bit harsh but there are tons of people filling the forum and asking for other members here to practically do everything for them. I suggest that until you understand what rooting and flashing involves, you stay away from it.
Here's something to get you going: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214
To obtain s-off and root with gingerbreak, these is the steps to do in order?
Root visionary-> S-off-> (Eng-off??) -> Gingerbreak, and finally clockwork recovery
But visionary is working with 2.3.3 stock htc?

You actually rooted it when it asked for Super User permission, when it didn't ask the first time around, that's because SuperUser was installed by GingerBreak.
I am currently working on a new rom for the HD2. This is based on [30.DEC.10][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM
I am using this rom As I like a simple desire build. I am changing it from a DAF to CWM method and bringing it more up to date. I have been able to do this successfully and boot the phone.
I currently have two issues that I would like to fix.
1. The rom is not rooted. If I go in and install z4root and reboot, the rom is then rooted fine. Could someone point me to the files I need to root the rom?
2. I would like to update the kernel for example to Rafpigna's or tytung's but am un sure how to do this at the rom building stage.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Its already rooted, see "superuser" in your list of apps

Ah yes it is rooted but if you install the standard version with out any modifications and then install root explorer for example, it does not prompt me to allow root access and only give me read only mode. If I look in superuser the app is not there.
If I then root using z4root root explorer then works perfectly!
I have also checked through out the daf thread and multiple people are having the same issue!
Any help guys??

You're wrong, this first ever NAND ROM wasn't rooted.
Come on... if you are really "deving" you shouldn't ask such questions. It's like you would like to repair a car and ask on forums where is engine (maybe not best example but I think you undestand what I mean).
Why you use DFT release if there is already rooted prj Desire based on DFT and there is skink Clean Desire based on prj's build?
@raven,
I can't agree with you on this one. He's trying to learn to become a dev. Everyone hit blockage. All these development build on failures toward success. The current problems can be silly questions but you wouldn't know his skills and improvement he would bring toward the current development.
So after lurking in these forums for a few months, I've finally decided to put a different ROM on my MT4G, but it seems like most of the guides are out of date. Is it still OK to use Visionary if I'm going to flash to a Gingerbread-based ROM afterward? And if I want to use Good for Enterprise, what do I use to unroot and re-root any of the ROMs that are pre-rooted to begin with? I'm not afraid to tinker, but this is my first Android phone and I don't want to get it wrong. Help?
The ROM that you're going to flash has absolutely nothing to do with the ROM you currently have - and the ROM you currently have (and nothing else) has everything to do with the rooting method.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is do I need to perm root the current ROM in order to flash the device to a different ROM?

You are going to need perm root
More information on perm vs temp see here (or use google search)
There are a couple guides on how to gain perm root (click on the link in my sig for a list of a few guides under the "Rooting" section of the resource bible)
I personally used the terminal emulator version of this method when rooting my mt4g
Once you achieve S=Off and permroot your phone, there is no need to do it from ROM to ROM. Your phone will remain rooted until you decide to unroot it.
Ok, thanks! Will give it a try tomorrow.

Next question... Now that I've perm rooted, tried a few ROMs, and settled on one (Generation-X stock), does anyone know if Gingerbreak works to re-root the device if I were to unroot this ROM (in order to use Good for Enterprise)? I'd hate to back myself into a corner I can't get out of...
When you have custom recovery installed, you're not dependent on the OS at all.
Flashing SU update.zip will root you.
Nice! Thanks for the info!
