Hi all, i just recently rooted my i9000m (baseband version I9000UGJL2) with psneuter on superoneclick, easy stuff, i came from a desire z so in comparison the root process was much easier, anyways i
went to rom manager, flashed CWM, reboot into recovery, and voila, stock 3e recovery, no reinstall packages option, and apply update.zip not working. What's wrong?
nevermind, searched it on forums, used CFroot
Had the exact same problem, you will need to do this in order to make it work. If you dont have it already download Root Explorer from the Market to apply this fix.

Hey guys, so I've got my 0089_US tablet rooted currently and protected with RootKeeper, but I don't currently have CWM. If I do the OTA ICS upgrade, will I still be able to install CWM at a later date provided I still have root?
No CWM after ICS update
I'm also interested to hear if anyone has been able to install CWM after ICS update.
I followed the process to keep root and restore stock recovery and managed to get ICS with root successfully (big improvement over HC). But now I have no CWM recovery and I'm not too sure about reinstalling as I've read others have experienced boot loop issues when they tried.
Has anyone successfully installed CWM after ICS update?
word is no, CWR is not ready for ICS yet but i hear root worked. I am having issues getting back to stock recovery to install in the first place. guess i'm waiting for a modified CWR flashable update.zip
seamonkey420, look forward to positive results. really want to CWM at ICS
After rooting my defy,deleting some system apps(com.google.XXXXXX)(may be this is the reason),I faild installing Quarx's CM10 Rom.I had to flash a bl=4 sbf again,but I cannot get my phone rooted again.
super one click V2.3 said my phone was rooted,but su didn't work anyhow,while unlockroot told me it can't change the permissisons in data/local/tmp.
I have a Razr M -- if there is a better place to ask this, please don't hesitate to let me know. I am new to this, but trying to learn.
I had the phone rooted and the bootloader unlocked, 4.1.2. I haven't accepted the OTA, but as you'll see below it's a pain because I've lost root and can't freeze the updater. The phone is still unlocked, and TWRP is still installed, but no root.
I had a problem with Safestrap where it would not create new ROM slots. I fixed it with a data format and factory reset. I was able to reroot with Motochopper, and then used Titanium to restore my apps. I must have restored something that the system didn't like, because I got stuck in a bootloop.
I then factory reset again, to start over. Only now Motochopper doesn't root.
I get a success message from Motochopper, Superuser does appear on the phone, but I also get the lines:
sh: /system/xbin/busybox: not found
cp: /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
Superuser itself says that the binary needs to be updated, but none of the install options (install, recovery install) work. I tried Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, since I had a protected SU installed, and it didn't work either.
Since I had Safestrap installed, I thought I might be able to get CMOD to a custom ROM slot even if the stock had lost root. I went ahead and created a custom ROM slot and tried to flash the Razr M CMOD 10.1 and gapps to it. I got a success message, but when I boot I just get a blackscreen; I've waited it out for 20 minutes or so, and nothing loads.
I have the Razr 1.20 utility, but frankly I am afraid to use it to try to go back to stock 4.1.2. I don't know what the OTAs have done, and frankly everything I have loaded to the M has bombed, and if I mess with my (now screwed up) stock install, I don't know that I'll be able to recover. But using the 1.20 utility and flashing 4.1.2 is my last idea.
Any help or thoughts? Why the hell did Motochopper stop working? What does this line about busybox mean? Can it be fixed short of trying to go back to stock 4.1.2?
Any help would be deeply appreciated. Because I lost root (and Titanium) I can't freeze the updater any more, which means it's now a matter of postponing every 12 hours. Not my favorite thing. And because my bootloader is unlocked I really hesitate to accept the OTA.
Since you have TWRP installed, get rid of Safestrap, you don't need it. If you're unlocked you can use Utility1.20 with no issues. If, somehow you did install the OTA, and you still have TWRP, then you just need to flash a SU zip in recovery to retain root. However, I think your best bet right now to get everything back to normal is to use the utility.

Many thanks. A few questions.
First, I may have misspoken, apologies -- the terminology is new to me. Safestrap has a version of TWRP, and that is what I mean when I say that I have TWRP installed. I don't have it separately installed. Does that change your advice?
Second, can I flash a zip of SU from Safestrap? Would I navigate to the Titanium Backup .zip and use the install function of Safestrap?
I deeply appreciate the advice. I may indeed have to go back to stock with the 1.20 utility, as you note.
Safestrap isn't a version of TWRP. It's based off of TWRP, but it's designed to work with a locked bootloader. Honestly, I would just use the utility and flash back to stock, re-root, and then install TWRP.
If you don't want to do this, your next step needs to be flashing TWRP, deleting and uninstalling SS, and flashing SU. You shouldn't be able to flash SU in SS. If you want to take the OTA, then you need to install an aftermarket recovery, first, so you can flash SU.

I rooted my phone and installed a Custom ROM (AndroidL) after installing my phone became unrooted automatically. My bootloader is unlocked and I have installed Clockwork Recovery.
Now how do i go about just to root my phone alone.
You should read the thread of the rom more carefully next time. Flash this: http://download.chainfire.eu/593/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.19.zip
