I3 rom keeps losing root. - Epic 4G General

I just want to know if this is something that is happpening to anyone else? Some roots required apps work just fine but then I get some apps like wifi tether, busybox, and barnacle tether don't and even tell me I don't have root access. If anyone has had this problem please give me the heads up. If not ill assume its some sort of issue with how my setup is and ill Odin and start from scratch.

Try flashing su.

those apps are not supported on the ROM, you still have root

Marcusant told someone to download barnacle because Wifi tether wasn't working. You sure that one isn't supported?

You'll have to use a computer. Do you have a mac/linux? Kuz there is a forum where you can root your phone with those types of computers

I have a pc at home. Just looking for away to do it t work. Seen a cool app I wanted to try but requires root access
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yeah bro you need a PC. Its just so easy.to use a PC and run the one click root with cwm. What version of z4root were you trying? I have the latest version on my PC that I could put on here if you want to try it?
Sent from my Evo Killer!!!
Are you on di18 or are you on dk28? cuz if your on di18 z4root should work. If your on dk28 than yeah you need a pc with the one click root is so simple. Its just that you do 1 click and it does it thing really fast.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yeah, Z4Root worked for me on stock Eclair. It just took a couple attempts for it to finally work. The first time it just sat there forever, so I pulled the battery, booted back up, tried again then it worked.

On the phone, Download z4root from google and install it, then open it and choose Perm Root, then it will install su and the Superuser app.
Hope it helps.
I tried the z4 infact thats was the way I rooted my phone the first time but after the ota update they shut down Z4root's path. I need my root back to tether (no internet at all now!)

DROID2 Gingerbread Update

Some users report that the OTA update (Android 2.3.3) is live right now.
Check your updates Settings>About phone>System updates and report issues.
It is, got it last night on the wife's D2.
Have they rooted it yet? I need to get titanium backup on there and restore her apps, she's freaking out!
Yes just use droid 3 method

Sadly, this didn't work for me. Has the droid 3 method worked for anyone else?
It didn't work for you? Did you follow the instructions correctly? No one has reported any problems with it so far
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL running Leaked Rooted Gingerbread!
Had to try it twice, first time didn't recognize it. Worked fine.
Working great for me. I SBF'd back to stock from the gingerbread leak, downloaded and installed the update over wifi in about 10 minutes. Rooted using the D3 method and flashed the latest CM7GB. Working like a boss.

Ran it several times, I see the SU binary in the system/bin directory and busybox, but barnacle and titanium are unable to obtain root.
Well I changed the script from xbin to bin and it seems to work now. Still unable to get Barnacle going, but closer.
That figures. Day after i leave big red and get my g2x, gb goes live for the d2 lol. niiiiice

Depends which app. I use Barnacle, works great still.
I rooted using: http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/

This worked for me to root after the OTA.
How come says its rooted but when I use WiFi tether it says I'm not
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Go to your app drawer and look for a skull and crossbones Superuser app. Click it and see if you can add wifi tether to the list. If that icon is not there, you're not rooted.
It's there but when I press to turn it on it says I'm not rooted
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I would run one click root again, if that does not work, SBF back to stock and then re-flash GB OTA and root once more.

HotSpot hack

Is there a trick to install the hacked HotSpot? It keeps saying "Not Installed". I am stock rooted.
Edit : disregard, I must be tired. I don't even know I tried to read the op lol.
Thanks E4gN.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
If your trying to install it like a normal .apk its not going to work. You have to move it to system\app and set the right permissions
Sent from my Mikrunny 4g using XDA App
What are the correct permissions may I ask? I have friend that just rooted her phone and wants the hotspot hack instead of wifi tether. Are the permissions the same as others, need to be inverted "7"?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I believe, if it goes in /system/app , as noob stated, then permissions will be rw-r-r. Same as other apks in system/app.

No, no, no, no....if you are not using a rooted custom ROM.
The hotspot hack(s) will only work on deodexed ROMs which you must flash through recovery. Since stock ROM is odexed, the only way you will receive the hotspot hack other than using the wifi tether app is to flash a rooted custom (possibly rooted stock) ROM which is deodexed, which most of them are.
The hotspot hack works on odexed roms check out the classic it only comes odexed and has hotspot working u can do anything odexed u can deodexed now a days

Ok, 1 odexed ROM. I still have never seen a hotspot hack that wasn't part of a custom ROM, unless I've missed it somewhere, and have never found one for stock ROM, unless it was a custom rooted stock ROM.
Ummm try looking there are modded hotspots to oush to your rom with instructions all over the dev section
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I've always just flashed a rom that has hacked hotspot baked in. It's never caused any problems. I used it as my ISP for an entire summer with no issues.
Ok, so I'm rooted with superuser. How do I set those permissions when it put it in the system/app folder?

It's much easier to either use the wifi tether app or just flash a rooted ROM with the hotspot already hacked, since every hotspot hack I ever did needed to be done in a CUSTOM ROM anyway.
Also, that system/app thing (with the rw-r--r-- permissions) will install the app, but will not hack it into working, tried that about a year ago.

Samsung continuum update problems

So I recently got a Samsung continuum from a flea market, and I am using it without activating it through Verizon. It is currently running android 2.1. When I try and update it, it gets stuck on the loading screen. Does it need to have cell service to update? Can I manually update it by flashing a rom, ext? Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yes, it would need to be activated to get any Over The Air updates. There are some roms that you can flash, but won't guarantee that any of the links will work. Verizon never updated past Froyo, but there was a Gingerbread leak that worked well, I'm using it on my unactivated Continuum.

Sweet thanks.one more thing: how did you root your continuum? Ive tried z4root, but it didnt work and i also tried superoneclick but my computers antivirus wont let it install.

Man I really do miss this phone and everything new they put to it! Was a great experience. And lucky for you if you need any of the files I can upload them for you and what not. All still saved on my computer since I didn't bother erasing them. o: So if anything PM me or I'll just upload what you need to here.
