I cannot enter any SU commands in TE since I updated to 3.29. Ex. Reboot and reboot recovery - get "Not Permitted" error message. Anyone else?
Thanks!
I just rooted using the latest Unrevoked (3.21).
The process indicated success.
But attempting "su" in an effort to manipulate "perms" results in "Permission denied".
Does this mean I am not actually "rooted"?
Or do I need a something in addition to being "rooted".
I seem to remember something called "Super User application".
Is this a requirement? If so, where might I find it?
Thank you for all your time and consideration.

You can download Superuser from the market. Skull and crossbones icon.

Thank you for your reply bender1077.
Is this app required in order to make changes like deleting apps and stuff on a "rooted" stock ROM?
Thanks again.

If you are using an app that requires Superuser permissions yes. Depends on how you are removing the apps. I always delete through ADB.

Thank you again bender1077.
I used Unrevoked 3.21 to root it. When it had completed, I found that SuperUser was/is
now installed, and available on my HTC-EVO-supersonic.
On the downside, when prompted by SuperUser when I launch Terminal Emulator to allow
su (root), I answer YES. But when attempting (like you) to delete apps, or what-not,
I'm told "read only file system". So the attempt fails.
Seems we're having the same issue - no?
Thanks again.

You have to remount in -rw in order to delete apps iirc.
I'm not trying to delete apps through TE, I do that through ADB.
BUUUUUTTTTTT.... Please just go into TE, and see if you are able to enter a simple command like reboot, and confirm if it works on 3.29.
I still get "not permited!" error.
It is funny that TE has permitted mispelled by the way!
THANKS!

Greetings bender1077,
Code:
% su
message from SuperUser:
permission granted to Terminal Emulator for su
# _
# reboot
permission denied!
# _
I hope that made sense. Superuser granted permission to me
to su. I got the hash in the upper left hand corner (#), indicating
I was root. But as you can see, I was not granted permission to "reboot".
HTH

Oh boyzie!
OK... I will run Quick Boot for reboots, and reboot recovery for the time being!
Thanks,
Hey bender are you nand unlocked? I don't know if that would make a difference.

Worked fine on 3.26... there has to be an issue somewhere ..... /system/bin/toolbox?
Titanium Backup says "error could not acquire root", yet I "am" rooted???
Ok, so my v2.1 evo was rooted using Unrevoked 3.21, I install Titanium Backup this morning and when I launch it an error comes up that says "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will not work. Please verify that your rom is rooted and includes busy box and try again."
Whats the deal wit this error? Unrevoked said it was succesful.
did you download busybox? when you open TB hit the problems? button. download busy box and try again.
you can also verify root by downloading terminal emulator and opening it. when its open type SU and hit enter. # means root. $ means no root.
Be weary. I used unrevoked3 for mac on a froyo Evo. I'm having some issues currently. Be careful before you proceed. You should download ROM manager as well. Once you download busybox perform your backup. A friend recommended Appbrain over Titanium Backup. Once your done with your back up, reboot into the bootloader and try to go into recovery to perform a nandroid backup. If you select recovery and it takes you to the htcevo 4g white screen and nothing happens, you're having the same issue as i am. I wouldn't recommend flashing any radios or roms yet. I'm working with some other members to try to figure this issue out. Apparently this is why other experts don't like unrevoked3.
There might be a missing pc36img or unrevoked forever might need to be install, but I don't want to lock my phone into root with unrevoked. From my understanding, if you use unrevoked forever, you wont be able to unroot.

What about any other app requesting root? Like setCPU or ShootMe? I'd install one of those to confirm root. If it works then you might you need to reinstall TB if not well then root was not properly achieved.

Ok, so I did update BusyBox, and now Titanium Backup doesnt show the error, also installed Terminal Emulator when you launch it the 1st line of text says"
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$
On the 2nd line where the $ i typed SU and hit enter and it goes to the next line and displays # is this what its suppose to do?
Thanks
Ok, here is some things for you to try.
1. Make sure you are using the latest version of TB.
2. Make sure you hit Problems? and download Busybox 1.60 (whether or not the ROM you have is using 1.60 or not, do it anyhow.)
I assume you did those two based on what I read. So here is what else to try.
Upgrade Superuser to the latest version, then update the binary. Make sure Titanium backup is not blocked by going to Superuser and there should be a green circle next to TB, if it is red that means it is blocked. If it still doesn't work, remove it from Superuser and then have it ask for permissions again.
If STILL not working, take out your battery for around 10 seconds, plug it back in and try again. Lastly, uninstall and reinstall TB then do these steps all over again.
That is a bunch of stuff to try, see what happens and hope this helps

That's exactly what it's supposed to do. $ is the prompt you get when you are a regular user. You get # when you are root.
If you type 'id' (without the quotes) now, you should get:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)

I launched Superuser, the one with the little niña guy, and it showed TB and the emulator both with green on the right side, but no idea how to "update" superuser, seeing as all appears to be ok should I still update it? If so, hoe would I do that? If not then I guess now my next step s finding the best 2.2 ROM that still keeps HTC Sense, any recommendations?

Yep. That's what is supposed to happen. You are root when you have the # prompt.

Flash the super user zip from http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Should fix you up, not sure how you lost it, but this souls fix it nevertheless.
So I installed Rom manager, and I tried to install Clockwork Mod that it requires you to install but I get the following error
"An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
And when I first open up Rom Manager, it says
"You must root your phone for ROM Manager to Function. Superuser was not found at /system/bin/su or system/xbin/su. "
But I rooted my phone, and my S is off...?
Have you installed the newest busybox?
Nope, I did not have anything like that installed
Busybox said my device was not rooted...But my S- is off?...
If on Recovery, it says S-ON, is that a Problem?

If it says S-ON, you don't have permaroot. Did you follow the guide in the wiki?

But is rage an adb command or an app from the Market?

If you've used adb (eg. you have the SDK installed on your computer), then you have the drivers already installed. Otherwise, unzip the file and when you plug your computer into your phone, point the hardware wizard to the folder that you unzipped
Rage is an included binary in gfree_temp-root.zip
Got it Thank You.
I got to where I have to use ADB, and while trying to $ adb push su /sdcard/su
It won't let allow me, it'll say access denied. (I've even put adb shell before that command)
I type in adb shell:
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*
*daemon started successfully* and then any other command I type after that is Denied

I got all the way to the Permaroot Section. When I have to issue these commands:

# ./gfree -f
#sync
my phone reset before I got to type sync.
And before I got the chance to type the next lines of text, I had to turn on my phone issued them and got an error message of file exists and something else. I Booted my phone and it still says SHIP S-ON

After you do the temp root, shut down adb (I am using a windows machine so I ctrl alt del and find it in task manager and shut it down that way) It should restart by itself when you do the perm root commands. ( you probably know this, but don't enter the # sign, it should be there by itself)
Thank You sooo much! I got the S-Off now finally, thank you very much!
Is there anything else I should do before I decided to Install a Custom ROM? Can I install a ROM from this Recovery? or Do I need to do a further step. According to the Tutorial I have Perm Root now but I've never used this Recovery before

Download ROM manager from the market, spend the few bucks for the upgrade and then install clockworkmod recovery through ROM Manager (if you haven't done this already). Then, do some more reading about doing a Nandroid backup and you're ready to go! Now, the fun begins....lol!
I don't mind buying ROM Manager Premium but can I do that with the Free Version? I downloaded the Free Version of ROM Manager v3.0.0.7 and when I selected Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery it gave me "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!". Does the Paid Version go past that or am I missing something?

do you have the superuser app now in your applications drawer?
edit: Also, disconnect the phone from the USB. That might give ROM manager a problem accessing your sd card if you're still connected.
yeah I have Superuser Permissions but it FC's when you try to open it

Try uninstalling ROM Manager and after that see if you still get a force close when you try to open Superuser.

what happens when, in ROM Manager, you select "fix permissions"?
Hello there,
I just flashed a new ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.7) last night. After signing in the Google account everything is great; the old apps got redownloaded and all. I noticed that there is no apps listed in the superuser. I tried 'su' command in the emulator terminal & I got permission denied.
Luckily all the apps are working in perfect harmony. However, how do I get the superuser permission back? It seems like my device is not rooted. Do I need to root my phone again? Fingers crossed I don't.
Initially, I tried to flash the Ice Cream Sandwich. I tried multiple times but to no avail. I even tried to change the HBOOT (from CM7 > downgrader > Stock HBOOT) but the process failed. I afraid that this might be the cause my root access got lost. Anyone can verify this?
Thanks!
Su app will be built into the ROM so you should still rooted. Sounds like Su settings are just defaulting to deny. Open Su, menu > settings and check its set at prompt (safer than allow). After flashing new Rom you'll need to launch apps that require root access to allow them permission again. You might need to update the Su app or binaries if permissions don't stick.

beachcomber,
1. my Superuser is set at prompt.
2. I am not sure which app that require root access. Could you give me some examples so that I can run them?
3. I tried to update the su binaries, but I got this:
" checking current install path...FAIL!"
" failed to find currently installed su binary. Update cannot continue."
Therefore, what do you suggest?
Thanks.
