[Q] I think I've unrooted my phone?! - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed su-3.0-beta4-efgh-Sense3.5.zip which is something to do with superuser ... I think, by accident. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250815)
And now, when I access Titanium Backup or any other app that required root, it tells me that I'm not rooted or that something went wrong with superuser.
Please help, how can I reverse this?
Many Thanks in Advance

nandroid? Reflash rom? Common sense really.

about superuser
Check your permissions in the superuser app options/settings and make sure titanium has su permission. If you dont have a superuser app, then you lost root. If you do then you do still have root, generally. Also make sure you have some sort of busybox installed, ive noticed that sometimes having a bad busybox or the beta busybox forces me to use the "force system busybox" etc options in titanium backup to work properly.

Lost Root ?, Root Tools Related ?

I had root and all was well. I have Android 2.2.1 Stock, Rooted. I have SU app, Wireless Tether, Titanium Backup, Root Explorer.
I downloaded Root Tools and ran the move cache to sdcard, seemed to work ok but then realized that none of my "Root" apps could get root access, even though it was approved in the SU app.
Still shows S-OFF, Still seem to be "Rooted" but nothing works.
Root Tools crashes whenever I try to use the move cache back to data.
any ideas.

[Q] cannot install busybox

i cannot install busybox on my htc desire. I rooted my desire using the unrevoked 3 method on the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
everything went fine and rootcheck says it's rooted.
i installed busybox installer from market and when i run install in the installer, i get an error message:
"the aplication failed, either because your device is not nand unlocked or we were unable to remount...."
any idea what this is? read somewhere unrevoked does not fully root your android?? is that true??
p.s. my htc desire also reboots after some minutes when i run busybox...
It says why, your nand is still locked (no write access to the system partition while booted). But I believe unrevoked also installs busybox.
You can try titanium backup to install busybox (by hitting problems) and you can also check with titanium backup if there is already a version installed.
If there is no version installed and titanium backup can install it either, manually install it via recovery or just flash a custom rom which already has busybox.

Unrevoked 3 but no root access!?!

Hello,
I rooted my Desire with Unrevoked 3 with the recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img. Everything goes fine and the program said: Done.
When I reboot I have according to Titanium no root access and my sd card is not found anymore.
What did I do wrong?
when you find the SuperUser app in the applist your root is well done! if not try again with unrev...
which OS did you use?

I find the SuperUser app in the applist but when I start up Titanium Backup, It tells me I'm not rooted. In HBOOT is says: S-On
I use Unrevoked via XP, and I installed the special drivers.
Then rooting was a success! You have to apply all root apps superuser rights. Check in superuser app if titanium backup are listed correctly. Or click in titanium backup on problems and then settings. This will install the busybox. Reboot and try again. Good luck

Thanks for your reply,
I have an superuser icon and titanium i listed correctly. When I click on problems in Titanium I've downloaded a program that I can't download. It is not Busybox.
Now I installed Gingerbread on my Desire but now I can't have access to the phone with Unrevoked.
How do you mean downloaded a program you can't download?? Btw is that prob only at titanium ore on all root apps? Some time ago I've read something about the prob with titanium. I'll look for it...
Greez VA
you've installed gingerbread? The official gingerbread? . Hmm..
As for titanium, wipe it's data in ' manage applications' then start it again, making sure you allow super user access (the first screen)... You only have ten seconds to do so.
you can allow or forbit root rights for each installed root app in the superuser app. ive tried it with titanium and get the fc: sorry no root rights titanium cant work without etc...
I also searched for the article i talked about but found nothing, sry!
Hope you doesnt flashed the official Gingerbread ROM.
Btw: rooting under Win is very buggy...linux is much better and incredibly faster for this => highly recommend
maybe a superuser app update helps...

[Q] MIUI Titanium backup problem

I just flashed MIUI build 1.9.16.0 to my Dinc2 (did a full restore from a cyanogen build) and titanium backup is saying I dont have root (of course I do) I tried updating busybox and super user as well as fixing permissions in ROM manager but it still wont let me use it.
*fixed*
sorry already figured it out, just forgot to reboot after fixing permissions, seems to work fine now sorry!
You have to go into the superuser app and allow for superuser access, for whatever reason that hasnt been on by default.

how to uninstall superuser safely?

I already had superuser installed on my sg3. I installed mobile odin the other day and it installed superSU. Now I have both on my phone. Which should I keep, and how can I delete any of these, since they are all showing as system applications? I want to make sure I don't lose root of course. I googled but am not having much luck with this.
I would keep SuperSu. There might be an option in Superuser to uninstall it. You might be able to use Titanium Backup or you could delete it from the /system/app folder. Those are about all the options I can think of at the moment. I am sure other people will have other ideas as well.
