[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.

do not listen to your friend, do not "reroot" your android. that will just be a waste of time.

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.

[Q] USB Debugging mode

Hello there
I have a Nexus tablet that somehow got bricked on the last update (will not boot the OS) but I can boot into recovery mode. I have tried using Nexus Toolkit and can see the device through adb. I have all the necessary drivers as well.
My problem is that I cannot put a new image onto the SD card using adb because USB debugging mode is not enabled which can only be enabled by the OS which wont boot.
What do I do?
Sorry if this isnt the right forum for this.
Thanks

Have you tried factory reset? Might be your only option.

factory image lol.
1.download a factory image for your n7
2.get Nexus Root Toolkit and open it
3.in the toolkit go to back to stock
4.select Soft-bricked/bootloop
5.then select Flash stock + unroot
6.and everything else Is pretty much self-explanatory
I hope I helped
If you need more help just tell me.

Mount storage from what if you don't mind me asking? How bout jut downloading ROM straight to phone?

Learn how to use adb to push file into your phone the custom recovery for the lg g2 wont mount. Install adb into the computer and tell adb to flah or push the .zip file into the phone to learn how? see how to use adb in youtube or google it. Or just go back to stock with lg g2 tool until you learn how to use adb you don't flah anything to the phone till you know how to fix it and adb is most of the time your fixing tool.

Its in general forum bud....if you want a custom rom since your rooted and have custom recovery just follow steps carefully, true adb is useful but you don't have to go back to stock......never answered where your ROM is? PC? USB stick? I'm trying to help you!

Well im stuck in TWRP right now
If I try to boot, nothing happens and I get stuck at the LG logo. I also don't have any backups, so that is why I am trying to place a ROM in there so can flash it and get back into the phone. I accidentally wiped everything in the SD, so no roms or anything

Did you try the ota update and got stuck?.....but for your case follow the back to stock thread in general forum and download he right files for your carrier....if you did wipe your internal storage....which BTW you should never do but system data cage and davlik are all OK....let me know if you need a link I'll post if needed

I think what happened was I tried a factory reset and I didn't realize that it would wipe all of the my backups and rom files
and I tried to flash a new rom(without knowing of this), wiped the current rom, and when I tried to flash the new one after wiping my only one, I had nothing to flash

Also Google adb sideload if you want to...this is how you push a ROM to TWRP.....you don't need to know adb commands since it doesn't use normal commands....you will need to have adb installed form android sdk onto your computer and set enviromentals so your computer understands commands

If you have adb setup on your computer and have a rom on there just do this.....very simple....this is adb sideload....if you want stock follow the thread above..
On your pc go to your toolkit directory
Find the folder that has adb.exe in it
Copy your new Rom to this directory and rename it rom.zip (for simplicity)
Hold shift and right click on a blank bit of the folder
In the pop-up menu there should now be an option saying "open command prompt here" or something similar.
Boot your phone into twrp and plug it into your pc
On your pc's new command prompt screen type
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
Once it has completed you can install the rom as normal on your phone

After you installed adb on your comp did you set enviromentals so your comp knows adb commands? Looks like his but asking
Also try adb sideload ROM.zip
---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------
Look for environment variables......should be in properties
Add it the the text that says PATH and add this to the end
You add this at the end exactly with the ; in the front below
;C:\android-sdk-windows\Tools

Bricked phone, stuck at TWRP, No Download mode

I bricked my phone after doing an OTA Update with root and TWRP installed.. I've never had this hard time to unbrick a phone.. I am stuck at recovery, can't go to Download mode, G2 Drivers didn't work for the PC so I installed Universal drivers and it got recognised. I follow this step-by-step thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 and everything is good until I get to flash the stock kdz. It says that my phone is not connected to the PC and can't continue flashing. I really need help on that because I can't get out of this by now and I really need to get it back on track.. :crying:

So what I did was put it into recovery. Go to adb and turn it on in recovery. Connect to the computer. Download Android sdk. Set up the sdk. Get a zipped rom. Sideboard from the computer. Install the rom. All was then go. Thoughts?.

S**t, you're going to download the factory image from here
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. It's a .tar file. Use 7 zip to extract it. Once you extract it there's a .zip file in it. Extract that too. In there is a system.img. You're going to use that file in fastboot
