root problem - EVO Shift 4G General

Ok so I have been rooted for quite sometime... I'm currently on miui 1.8.26 I've had no problems... well I recently to tried to install busy box and I returned with your device is not rooted... so I tired going into root explorer and now it doesn't run at all.. so I tried es file explorer I goto mount and it say mount failed... so anything that requires root does not work.. I get the permission from super user but I'm guessing it just doesn't mount.. now I'm wondering if I update to a new rom it might not work due to it not mounting... am I wrong? By the way through terminal explore I type in su and it returns a # sign..

Do you have a nandroid? Try using it and see... If it still doesn't work maybe try rolling back to an older busybox? If still no try maybe using the 2.2 RUU... Or even just do a cache/dalvik wipe... Idk, maybe someone else has better ideas

I thought about doing a nandroid to a base 2.2 rom.. gonna give that a try..

Yep I nand back to miui 1.8.26 and the problem seemed to have gone away... I just updated to 1.9.2 everything is running peachy... the seemed to have started when I was trying to install busy box from the market...
Sent from my speedy miui w/1.9 of goodness....

Yeah, i just leave the busy box alone, if a dev doesn't seem to care that it's not the latest version in their rom then I don't much care either.. Lol

Being rooted does matter. Most of the Devs change you software version to whatever build their ROM is and this blocks any updates from coming in, a nice safety for people who don't know most updates will break root. So unless you are on the absolutely stock EVO or the absolutely stock rooted EVO chances are you won't see this upgrade.

So I'm able to download the OTA IF I want to....but I'm scared I'll lose root, nand, s-off etc. I don't flash roms, just use root for nandroid back ups and tether!
HELP? Any advise?? I rooted using a nightly build of unrEVOked 3 ...worked perfectly.

Sorry..I'm so damn new. Is this something I should download on my sd card and use Rom Manager to install it? Will I have to wipe cache/data/davik etc? If so..do I lose my data?? Uggg!!

Problem rooting :(

Ok, I've rooted my phone before but had to reset the phone to all stock because I downloaded an impaled version of angry birds to get the ads off and make the game run smoother....never doin that again lol. Anyway, I tried using the one click root like I did the 1st time but its not findin my phone. I think it says something like it does not recognize adf internally or externally. I downloaded the right samsung driver, put the debugging on, and used the usb cord that came wit the phone and it still doesn't work. I already have CWM (I pushed it on the phone wit odin) and have the stock kernel. now I just need root again

Yes, download the rom to the root of your SD card and flash away.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Absolutely. You download the zip and flash it through recovery. And for many roms, you can have ROMmanager do all the work for you.

Be careful with Rom Manager. It said it needed to update Clockwork Recovery and in the process of rebooting the phone, the recovery image is corrupted and my phone will no longer boot into recovery.
I haven't tried reflashing the recovery image via adb yet, but hope it will work.
You dont have to use rom manager, you can just navigate with the browser and download as if you use a computer. The file would be located in /sdcard/download
The only problem is the data speeds.
Peace

I'd probably stick with 1.9.16 because there were issues with 9.23. I upgraded via miui updater and was stuck at boot. I've heard a lot of people having the same issue.

There were issues with .23 and he wasn't sure if there were issues with .30 as well. Version .23 has problems with displaying widgets and rebooting as far as I know.

How did you install 9.30? Manually or through updater? Some themes need to be updated to be compatible with the latest build. You should get prompted though, at least i did.
If you did it manually, what did you wipe?
