Is anyone else in the same boat as me, where they updated prior to instructions reading to move SU to xbin????
I have the SU in my app drawer, I have loaded setcpu and other root programs like barnacle, but I CANNOT for the life of me get the other half of the root apps to work because it says I DO NOT have SU permissions.... like Root Explorer for example.
I wouldn't mind sbf'n it back to 2.1 and then back to 2.2 again at all, just not quite sure what to do.... an ideas?
I was in the same boat as you after upgrading to 2.2 even though I thought I did the xbin step correct, guess not.
Anyways, the only way I fixed it was to completely flash my phone, I didn't mind doing this because it's always nice to start with a fresh install.
This guide was the best for me, simple and includes all necessary links.

Make sure you have busybox installed. There is an appliaction in the market that will download it..

If you didnt move su to xbin, you will HAVE to sbf your x and redo everything to get 2.2 with root. Thats what happened to me.
I did this also...half root and stuff. I used astro to install the su apk off my sd card. I didn't have the ninja guy in my app drawer though. But could run set cpu. Not root explorer. I just again installed the su apk from sd. And it showed up in my app drawer. And I was able to install root explorer. Just my 2's

A fix without adb
To anyone that has run into this problem I have a solution. This is for everyone that missed the step on keeping your root access. If you have su in xbin and still won't work this will work for you.
(Open terminal emulator) type the following:
/system/xbin/su
Then you should see a #
Run "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/system /system"
Run "mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/su.bak"
Run "cd /system/xbin/"
Run "cp su ../bin/"
Then you should have your root access again!
and one more thing, don't type the word run or put the " " in this code
Same thing happened to me as well, I SBF'd back the first run and did everything EXCEPT the moving su to xbin, and well.... I had to do it all over again, took a bit of time, but now root works again.

So I'm rooted and downloaded Super User app from market. I have a bunch of root apps but the only app listed in the super user app is Titanium. Any reason why the other rooted apps (Set Cpu, Minfree Manager, etc.) aren't listed?
Have they asked for superuser?

We managed to fix this problem the other night on the irc channel. I didn't post anything because it doesn't seem like many people are using superuser.apk. The problem is that superuser needs to install it's own version of the su program to run properly. The current root method replaces su every reboot. When you lose the su that superuser.apk installs it can't control root access anymore and basically any program can request root without a prompt to you. The fix is to just replace the jk-su file in /system/bin/ with the superuser su. Then every reboot it will just use the one that works with the superuser app. I did this a few days ago and haven't had any problems.
The procedure is as follows (you need to use adb):
Go into the superuser app, go to the "settings" tab and at the very bottom choose to update su (it should change from saying original to something like "su v2.3.1-ef").
Plug the phone into usb and make sure you have USB debugging enabled.
Open a command prompt on the computer and goto your android sdk tools folder to run these commands (IMPORTANT NOTE - Make sure you have the phone screen on and unlocked when you run the su command below because superuser will ask you for permission and you need to click yes. It wont prompt if the screen is off or locked and the adb shell will just sit there waiting for a response. As soon as you click yes on the phone you should get a # in the adb shell):
adb shell
su
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
cp /system/bin/su /system/bin/jk-su
exit
Now you should just reboot the phone and check that it worked by running any program that needs root access that isn't already listed with superuser. I suggest shootme or wifi tether. tether asks when you start or stop tethering and when you allow a mac address in the access control.

Hmmm cp /system/bin/su /system/bin/jk-su didn't work. I ls /system/bin and don't see jk-su listed just su...

What root did you use? I did mine manually so there may be some differences if you used a one click.
Edit: I just looked at noobnl's one click root and it uses the same script that contains the line:
#copies busybox su
cat /system/bin/jk-su > /sdx/su
so it should definitely be there even if you used his one click.
When you run the command "ls -l /system/bin/jk-su" what do you get?
I get this:
ls -l /system/bin/jk-su
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26264 2010-09-18 06:10 jk-su

Did you get it working? After you updated su through the superuser app then it started working so that is why it asked you for permission when you were in terminal. The problem is that if you reboot without applying the rest of the fix to replace jk-su then you will lose the updated su and it will stop working.

Okay, I did the one click root method that is stickied. Then I did
adb shell
su
after doing su, I initially saw on the phone that unknown user was asking for superuser access. Of course, "unknown user" is me so I granted it. Then I saw the # then I went ahead and did
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
That worked fine . The line repeated itself which indicates that it worked. When I do
cp /system/bin/su /system/bin/jk-su
it then says cp: not found.
Just to give you a little more info, I just restored my phone with odin to factory defaults, then I updated to the DI07 update. Then I installed the final clockwork mod recovery, then I did the one click root method. Then I installed superuser in the system/app folder.

I'm not sure why cp doesn't work, it just means copy. An alternative to try is to delete jk-su and replace it with the su you updated. Use these commands in place of the cp command:
rm /system/bin/jk-su
cat /system/bin/su > /system/bin/jk-su
Make sure you do this after updating su in the superuser app and without rebooting in between. Let me know if you have any problems.
followed instructions. no errors but i still have no programs asking for permission. i had wifi tether downloaded before and it worked. I downloaded shootme to see if it would ask for permission and it didnt - but it works. neithe one is lited in superuser either.
listed is:
adfree / quickboot / root manager / startup manager ( 3 of them) / super manager / unknown ( spawned right after i followed instrution)
any ideas
uninstall supersuser and reinstalled:
listed apps now:
adfree / busybox installer / root explorer / rootmanager / sufbs / tit backup
again not sure is it is correct. but seems to work "I THINK"

thanks again for the help.
i think my phone might not be total stable.. lol

I doubt you need to update root. The root I used was the original manual method by joeykrim. The one click just automates that method. There is no reason why you should have to reboot multiple times to get this working. You basically just replaced a file with a similar file and the script that was installed when you rooted uses that file to create a new su every time you reboot. Personally, I would wipe to stock with Odin and then use the manual root method to make sure nothing funny is going on with your phone. When you rebooted and the su was "original" you didn't lose root, it just meant that superuser wouldn't work. For now, as long as the 2.3.1 -ef sticks around superuser will work just fine. As an alternative you could try noobnl's newest stuff. Looks like he made it compatible with superuser, so I think that would negate the need to use this type of fix. I'm not sure what he did to add the compatibility but you could probably ask him.
if you flash noobnl's latest kernel, it includes superuser and it works perfectly.

The only issue I see with that is you have to use a DG27 kernel. If you want to use a DI07 kernel you still need to use this fix.

Very true. I didn't think about that.
I have latest Noobls kernel flashed on top of DI07 and this fix did not work.First thing that dint work is i never got SuperUser prompt after i typed su in adb shell,i got su in windows but no prompt on the phone.
To make it short i did the whole procedure from BetterTerminal(now i got su prompt) rebooted and back to same problem.Man,this been bugin me for two days now,sometimes i reboot the phone and i have root permissions then i reboot again and they are gone!
Big question is:is everybody on Epic have same issue or is it just on certain phones,kernels or roms?
hey well i got to this point :

no one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU9zn_BEth4 i did that way and it works for me.
but i have s-off i supposed to be rooted already but i do not have super user powers... what do i do
Did you copy the Superuser.apk file to the root of your SDcard?
yes i did, and su too and now when i put su on my phone it says unknown user root :/
i can get temporal rooting tough.

i had the same situation with u few days ago. just follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228 and u only need do the temp root part.
Delete visionary and superuser first, install terminal emulator from market.
on you pc:
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
Then on you G2, open a terminal emulator
Launch Terminal Emulator---/data/local/tmp/rage----Wait for the message: "Forked #### childs."------Menu > Reset Term - Terminal Emulator will exit.-----Launch Terminal Emulator, it Force Closes. Launch a second time, and you'll have a root shell----- run the /data/local/tmp/root script here.---sync.
In the last step, u can find the origin thread dose not let u do this. but, if you've got s-off, trust me, just do the last step "/data/local/tmp/root", and when u see a feedback "****files exist",then "sync",

Busybox isn't where it's supposed to be it looks like. The cp command is dependant on a working busybox binary, if the location is incorrect, or or it isn't executable, you'd get those errors.

Does GingerBreak work with this version of Gingerbread 4.5.601.A955.Verizon.en.us? My phone is currently rooted with Z4Root 1.3. Is there an easy way of doing this?

Use the d3 root method. Works fine.
CM7GB-601
The D3 one click didnt work for me. It tries to reboot and the phone sits at the "Battery OK OK to Program Transfer Mode: USB" mode.
I was rooted before the update. I never used ROMS or anything just rooted for wireless tether and T backup. Not sure how to proceed but Im pretty happy with the update, fixed a bunch of issues for me.
Anyone else not able to root after the ginger ota?

Hi everyone,
I have the same question as CSSZiegler, but want to expand on it a little bit...
I have a Droid 2 that was rooted with Z4Root 1.3 several months ago. I also have SetCPU, SuperUser and Titanium Backup. No custom ROMs installed. Big Red just pushed down GB, and of course, I've lost root access. I'd like to regain root again without losing any contacts, Handcent messages, etc. I've read on several forums that the D2 can be rooted just like the D3 with a simple "one-click" operation referenced by quarky42 earlier.
Any opinions or experience with this? I greatly appreciate any and all assistance!

I had the same problem, and I think it is is because we already had Superuser installed. To remove it, from the directory where you downloaded the one click root, open the command window, then type adb shell
when you hit enter, the next line should end with a #
if it's $, run the one click again, then start this over
once you have the # prompt, type
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/system /system
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
hitting enter after each line.
After doing this, run the one click, and it should be fine. Worked great for me.

I either want to root through gingerbread or just get rid of the superuser.

Now I have superuser and can't get rid of it.. .Tried unrooting through z4 and it doesn't work... Tried gingerbreak and the one click root through windows... Neither of those worked...
I either want to root through gingerbread or just get rid of the superuser.
when I type adb shell in command prompt (in windows 7) it says adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Any ideas? Thanks.

That error is usually because your trying to run the program from the wrong directory. Make sure your command line is started from the folder that adb.exe is located in. You can do this by Shift and right mouse button and “open command window here”.

I searched the phone's sd card.. I couldn't find it... do you know where adb.exe is located?
The fact that he said to hold shift and the right mouse button should tell you he's talking about a folder on your computer and not on your SD card.

Finally got it to work... now.. I used motorola one click root.exe where you use the exe on the computer. Just out of curiosity, is there a one click method to unroot? Thanks!
