So I've successfully rooted with Burrito Root, pushed and installed Superuser.apk.
Can't yet load recovery being away from a windows machine currently.
Market is working, trying to get Calendar sync to work - noticed that Root Explorer won't allow me to "Mount R/W" in the root directory. Does this mean I'm not really rooted?
Nevermind - it seems to work now. Thanks!
Go market and download rootchecker

hey guys, i ve tried deleting the vvm-signed.apk in root explorer, and even though it shows that it was deleted, once i refresh its right there again.
i have stopped the the app from running in the background, and tried again, but still no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
You will have to do it with ADB or Terminal Emulator for now. Root Explorer is not allowing rw to /system yet.
What should I change the title of the sticky at the top of the thread to? It says read before posting...

I had no problem removing VVM and other system/app files with root explorer.
Ok bear with me, this is the only the second phone i have rooted. I am having issues with the rom manager and root explorer.
The rom manager works, it does not force close, but when i ask it to do something like backup or install a rom, it does nothing, litterally i can click something else and same thing, it does nothing. I tried uninstalling and even factory reset. Still dont work.
Also the root explorer, it says "Root explorer has not yet manage to obtain root access. " i get that every time i restart it, same issue.
I have froyo 2.2 and used easy root http://www.unstableapps.com/?p=35
You need they droid x bootstrapper from the market to get into recovery, and titanium backup from market, hit problems & download busybox.

thanks, i'll get them now and report back.
Now do i put the bootstrap in the root of the sd and use a app installer?
ok, titanium backup said it wont work because the root access failed and after i downloaded busybox it wont install
I'd try the one-click root or and root, both have to be downloaded by pc.if u got the free bootstrap use an app installer.

still having the same issue, maybe its 2.2? is there a Root ROm?
Yeah, in rom manager. You have to be rooted 2.1. Have you ever flashed a sbf. I'd try unrooting with easy root then using another method

Almost sounds like the root didn't take properly

hey guys, I flashed back to stock and rerooted. Everything works now. Thanks guys,
My only gripe is i dont have flash anymore T_T
Are you on 2.1 or 2.2, you can find flash apk. right here on xda.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
ahh cool. Now what if i use the 2.2 guide on here? Is it the 2.2 or do u think it was the root?
I'd say it was the root. Easiest way to get back to 2.2 would be Rom Manager. Look in download rom,2.1 to 2.2 root. Just make sure you flash the latest recovery in rom manager & the current boot strap which is 1.0.0.3
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
ok i redid everything, went back to 2.2 using all the methods, and i am still having issues, i dont know whats up with this
What method did you use to root. I messed up theming yesterday, had to sbf. Reroot & went back to 2.2 through rom manager. It went fine. What's it doing now?

dbl post sry
i used one click root. its doing the same thing as last time.
edit-----
I did a google search for a good 15 minutes and found this
1.) Run "adb shell"
2.) Run "/system/xbin/su"
*****Watch your screen for Superuser app to prompt for permission and click "allow" (if you go from $ to # without being asked for permission, continue with the next step
3.) Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system"
4.) Run "cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su"
5.) Run "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"
[optional] Run "mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/system /system"

Everything works like a charm! If you root at 2.1 then go to 2.2, this will fix your problem
ok so i have my phone rooted
I have ADB working right
I go to the terminal in the phone and type "su" and it takes me to the # just fine, also works in ADB (after adb shell).
When i type "free" to see the memory it says "permission denied" on the phone, and in ADB. In ADB, I have tried it from the # which gives me "not found", and then tried it at the $ and that says "permission denied".
I can reboot my phone from ADB, but not in terminal on the phone.
I'm not real sure why i get "permission denied" if my phone is rooted right
any ideas and help would be great thanks
Similar issue Kinda
when I type in 'free' after 'su', I get:
free: not found
It worked just fine for me.

when you rooted your phone .. did you use the visonary temp way .. or the new way thru ADB?
Also those who are or are not having the permission denied...was your root done pre or post update? Mine was post and do you have a recovery flashed?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
When I type su into terminal emulator it says "unknown root user". How do I fix this, so i could get permission granted again?
Well, I am a noob, but when you rooted, it should have created a superuser program... run that, delete all permissions, and try again.... mine did that, and once I really approved it, it was fine

I had to restore my Iconia, so i used the acer.Update.zip, then i flashed my system.img using connectbot directly from my tablet, then i did an hard-reset, now I need to push wifi modules.
I installed the android sdk and then i installed iconia drivers too on my Desktop PC running Windows Vista x32 (i know it sucks but right now i can't change os).
I run adb with the devices command and it recognizes my iconia, then i try to run any other command, as adb install C:\my.apk or adb shell and nothing happens...
If I try to close the shell it closes but the abd.exe process doesn't close even if I use the task manager, I have to reboot the PC.
Someone knows what to do, I yet googled but i haven't found anything...
excuse me for my bad english...
Well first off for your wifi modules you don't need adb any root file explorer will work. Put the modules on your SD card then copy them and go to system/lib/modules miunt the system as rw and paste them. Then reboot.
