i was looking and serching for a fix my nexus s , i update from Alpha 13 to ICS 4.0.3 and i lost ither root or SU permicion can someone guime to right way i nedd get to CWM and go to my backups and i can do the rest i try update SU buth i not able to get CWM i just get stock recovery i try update SU from app not root acdsse .
I would think that you need to flash your recovery again. fastboot your recovery .img then flash rom manager after you reboot and you should be ok. do this the same way you did when you originally rooted your phone.
You may need to unlock bootloader, root and install. Official stock ROM erased them all.
Hi,
I was running 2.3.4 on my Defy+, and sucessfully rooted it using SuperOneClick.
Then installed 2ndinit and tried to install CM7.1, but it failed (as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21272667#post21272667), so I tried an OTA update, and it updated it to 2.3.6
Now however, the phone is not rooted (presume the OTA 'unrooted'), but superuser is still in app drawer and 2ndinit boot menu is there still.
In boot menu, if I try 'customer recovery', it fails, telling me something doesn't exist - I presume because it's not rooted.
However, now I cannot root it running 2.3.6 - I have tried a heap of different methods posted in threads, but I still cannot root it...
So... other than a new rooting method, I was thinking to restore it to 2.3.4 where I can root it and try CM again.
I did a stock recovery on the phone, and it returned it to it's factory state, BUT still updated as 2.3.6 - stock recovery did not return it to 2.3.4, nor did it remove superuser app or 2ndint.
How do I / can I revert it back to 2.3.4 so I can essentially start again?
I can't 'uninstall' 2ndint or access Nandroid (I have a nandroid backup of original 2.3.4...) as it's not rooted!
Thanks in advance!

Fixed by completely bricking the phone (black screen, no boot at all, but RSDLite recognised it) by installing some unusable ROM (don't ask why), and then using RSDLite to flash a new 2.3.6 Defy+ Rom and then that rom was rootable using SuperOneClick.
The ROM that I got on there working was "DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-132_BLUR"
hello , my iconia just updated to ics(ota update). i root my a500 with ics root tool. after that i tried to install the supersu but i get installation failed error. After that i tried the superuser and i saw that i have the 3.0.3.2 version but i cant update. im getting this error : remounting /system as rw fail. any ideas?
My second question has to do about boot loader etc. im confused with all that information..
After the update acording to Acer recovery installer i have 0.03.12 ics version( before update i had 3.1 and cmw recovery installed) . to be able to flash a custom rom i have to change the bootloader with afterota tool? and then just install a the cmw recovery from acer recovery installer?
thanks

First question. Having root and system rw is not exactly the same, especially with the ICS Iconia tablets. You can use a file manager, like ES Explorer or RootExplorer and try changing the /system to rw.
If you can't get /system rw with the tool you used, try Zero-Nulls rooting tool.

Next question. Bootloader. If you want to install custom ICS roms, it's advisable to install the Unlocked bootloader and CWM. Reason is, ICS and the stock bootloader, is really a pain when trying to get /system rw. The unlocked bootloader and a custom rom/kernel have the security features taken out, so all you need is SU and don't need anything to get /system rw.
Not to mention the unlocked bootloader has fastboot, and, you can change your boot images.
Some people keep the stock rom, and just change to the modified kernel via CWM for the easy /system rw
Regardless, pay attention to the instructions, and keep in mind, if you are on stock ICS, you have to delete the boot-recovery.p file from /system, or else when you boot to the OS, it will overwrite your CWM.

Yeah, gotta set permissions. Remember to delete that boot-recovery.p file. Before you start doing things. Otherwise, your CWM you install, will get overwritten 1st time you boot into your stock OS.
Write down your UID number, always.

I have just installed Ziddys OTG kernel R184 on a Stock rooted JWR66Y. However after rebooting I have lost root with superuser complaining that th SU binaries are out of date. I have tried installing the superuser.zip again from recovery but still get the same error and no root. I am using clockworkmod superuser and all was working ok till I flashed the new kernel. At a loss on what to try next to regain my root.

I have now installed the latest supersu via CWM and all is working ok and I have root back.
After installing the lollipop update I lost the rooting to the phone.
I rooted my phone again but to be sure for the next time,is there a way to root Lenovo a6000 plus permanently?
When u flash new rom, you have to root again, no way for permanent exept root option include in the rom
You wanted to root again hah? Flash SuperSU.zip (based on my knowledge stock LL cannot/hard to root withe root.apk like kingroot. So, i think the latest tricks is flash the supersu.zip) but still... if you are Advanced User if not dont trying it

Dude sometimes root doesn't install properly i don't know why... I am on stock with 1.4Ghz oc kernel... Thing happens to me is that whenever i reboot my phone. Root stops working and says su binary needs to be updated.. I just have reinstall again and again to keep it working after boot.. So do u have any to solve it?

For me root still work even on reboot. To root my phone, i flashed SuperSU.zip with custom recovery twrp. How about you? Did you using same thing like me or by apps like KingRoot.apk?

Yup obviously.. By SU... I never use kingroot... Well i know it shouldn't have happened... Btw fresh rom install will solve it.. But i don't wanna do that.. Setting up phone again and again suks.. I just asked it because i thought if you might have had this problem! Thanks btw
To clear things up. Think of root as a system module (binary) ("su" module located in "xbin"). Each time you install a new OS, core partitions need to be formated (/cache, /data, and ofc /system). If the SuperUser module is not pre-installed in the new firmware you are flashing, it can be additionally obtained through Chainfire's installation zip. Nearly all custom ROMs have it and will work just fine, with some needing user input to activate it (Settings > Dev Settings > Root Access). While stock ROMs will NEVER have root capabilities pre-loaded.
So, all in all:
No, there is no such thing and will never be, as permanent root. Everything is being overwritten all the time.
Rooting and re-rooting the A6000 is safe and easy.
