[Solved]can't get terminal apps rooted after ota upgrade to ics

[ update ]
It's not bcuz "can't access terminal as root"
It's bcuz every time when Updated the device via OTA, the third part recovery was replaced by the Official recovery, and the device was unrooted again. So EVERY TIME finished OTA Update, the first thing to do is to root it again.

my friend told me that i have to re-root my ics-ed device. i am giving a try

try android terminal emulator from the market, works well here https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
and/or update your superuser app.

put it in your sd storage, boot into recovery, find the file and flash it, boot up. you do have a custom recovery installed, like clockworkmod or twrp recovery?

Tried installing/updating busybox?

i forget... looks there is no custom recovery since i ota upgrade to ics. get to install one.

Thanks very much. all done.
and one more [Q]
I used flashboot to flash the Super*.zip into recovery, just like I mentioned my reply.
Can I delete it? or just when I flash twpr recovery img, than the recovery partition all be override?

id keep it in your storage just in case you need it again. most the recent roms have the superuser updated already, so you probably wont need it again if youre flashing roms. but you never know.

thanks.

You are not flashing the correct kernel, I have seen that error, many times. Just boot to recovery, and flash a different kernel.

yes, but what ever rom you are flashing, most likely will included their kernel, flash the att compatible kernels, it will work.

Use Tibu to freeze "knox".

Twrp does not auto loki. you have to either flash a loki kernel or flash loki doki after flashing the rom and then reboot.
Loki doki can be found here: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=483

He did not try to install a rom.....he got that after installing twrp

I keep having the same error. I used the latest "Lokifyed 3way Tool" as well as AdamOutler's "Casual Root and Recovery". Everything works fine until I try to install a ROM (tried various ROMs, Infamous/Revolt). After a successful ROM install, I reboot and get this error. I have the latest Samsung USB drivers installed, flashed back to stock, did a factory reset, cleared cache/dalvik, rerooted, frozen anything with "knox" in it, reinstalled both recoveries (on separate tries of course), and tried installing the loki-doki patch and lokied kernals before and after the ROM successfully installs, to which they both fail and abort install. I feel I have tried everything but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Use the recovery I am linking to flash whatever it is. It will auto-loki for you. Loki is required to bypass the bootloader authentication.

This recovery is included in the 3way tool I used and it is the recovery I choose to use when going through the root/recovery process.

I have the same error "System software not authorized by at&t has been found on your phone" but when I press vol up and power it says rebooting to recovery but just boots back to that error. Anyway to fix this? TIA

You need to go into download mode and get a stock rom that is rooted through odin. I can't really explain through text how to use odin, so just use google and YouTube to your advantage.

Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Not 100% sure, but I think you can use the flash tool to put the old image on, root it, and either flash a non-stock rom or use Titanium Backup to freeze the update app and prevent it from re-updating. You can do a Titanium Backup of your apps first so you don't lose quite everything in the reflash (but be sure to move it to your computer, I think the stock reflash wipes out everything).

Ok, I finally got around to trying it (wasn't sure if I was going to keep the G2 or go for S4, but G2 it is. I installed the LG drivers (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_nizg6yUZ0NWnp5b2U2VkxKbFE/edit?usp=sharing) and followed the instructions line for line, didn't have any problems. Titanium seems to be working Ok for me. If adb isn't working, it's probably a configuration issue on your computer.

I used freegee to flash 2.6.3.3. Unfortunately, the version listed is 2.6.3.0 after doing so. I then used Flashify to flash 2.6.3.3, but I received an error and it turned to black. how did you upgrade from 2.6.3.0 to 2.6.3.3?

Sorry I miss spoke. The version of TWRP I have is 2.6.3.0. that I downloaded from freegee. If it's not working I'd try again as I did not do anything special and make sure the file name matches the flash version. I hope this helps. I am on ATT by the way.

Unable to flash a ROM zip

I admit I am new to the G2. On my GS3 all that was needed was factory reset (I formatted /system to be sure) when I was changing ROMs. I keep getting errors when I try to flash a CM11 ROM on my D801 (tmo). I specified CM11 because I was able to get a stock-based ROM working without much trouble. I have gotten into the habit of taking a backup before doing anything so I'm not gonna lose anything. I'm using TWRP which I've gotten pretty comfortable with on my GS3. I'm pretty sure there's something I'm missing.. Can anyone help?

Possible corrupt or incomplete download? You could try a different build of CM11... I assume you made sure the build was compatible with your variant because you already specified it is a D802. I occasionally had failed flashes on TWRP 2.6.3.3 but I upgraded to 2.6.3.4 and a lot of them worked... It could be a number of things...

Cyanogenmod thread recommends you use CMW recovery when flashing Cyanogenmod because TWRP gives off too many problems.
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I thought the same thing, even though I've only had it happen one time before. I checked the md5 hash and the codes matched from the website, my HDD and on my phone so that wasn't it. And yes I made sure it was for the D801. I guess it's time to try a different recovery =/ changing recovery is always a pain too

I have a stupid question..can I use D802 (AT&T variant) CWM on my D801 (T-Mobile)? Or do I have to use my computer to flash via adb again?

The AT&T phone model is d800 not d802. Why don't you just flash the recovery right from your phone? Download the flashable .zip file go into your recovery and select the zip to flash, then reboot recovery and the new recovery should pop up? Skip all that adb nonsense I've never done that. I would only do the adb to flash a recovery when I'm in an emergency and can't get into anything.
