I am on 2.3.6 and used the latest root method (odin), installed SU3.0.7 and everything was great! Bought TiPro and froze the wifi apps and tried to tether and browser went to the TMO gotcha site. I thought I must have missed something so I tried to go back into TI and it says that I am not rooted! Rebooted into recovery and flashed recovery.tar again just to make sure, successful. Open TI again, no root. Open Super manager, go to "enable root" SU grants permission. Any Ideas? I just wanted to get wifi sharing working, nothing more really. Apologies if this is posted elsewhere, I could not find it.
chris
bump....anybody got a clue on this? I really miss the tether I had on my TP2
are you on a custom rom? Have you tried going into recovery and wiping cache, wiping davlik and fixing permissions?
Did you freeze wifi tether I beloved its called..also T-Mobile account manager...I froze both while running into same issue. Had to clear cache, data and fix permissions and did trick. Just make sure to freeze those two apps....hope it helps
Just fixed the Tibackup issue. The box for forcing the system busybox was checked. All good there. Trying to freeze apps again for tether.
sometimes it helps to step away and ty again later. i had frozen the Wifi apps but missed the tethering manager. all is good now. the busybox check was a real problem. must have been my big fingers accidentally hitting it or something. appreciate the help.

So I rooted my Evo using toasts root method both part 1 and 2. I am having a few issues though.
Now I haven't flashed any ROM after doing a nandroid restore at the end of the Part 2 tutorial.
Issues I'm having.
Can't set up Exchange email account. I keep getting an authentication failed. I have double and triple checked my settings. Is there a known issue with this after root?
Superuser Permissions just blank and things that I know should be asking for permission aren't? Before when I had unrEvoked things like WiFi Tether and Overclock Widget asked to be granted Superuser Permissions and now neither do and WiFi Tether won't connect.
I did have to load the apk for Superuser Permissions from a backup due to it not being there after I rooted.
I also know there has been mention of toasts root having issues with Android Market protected apps. Has this been fixed?
When I went through the root process I didn't get any unusual errors. Just a few that were my fault like not having the phone in charge only mode.
Should I just flash Flipz stock rooted rom? Should I wipe and start over?
Everything seemed to go smoothly I'm just a smidge new to Android so I'm hoping I might have just missed a step somewhere that I thought might have been optional.
Thanks in advance for the help
Flash to flipz now, thats what I ended up doing. I was also having problems with the stock rom that needed to be installed after root. Same problem with superuser, I actually had to install unrevoked, just to get superuser back, and so I could use the wireless tether. I did a wipe and installed fresh, and everything worked right away, no problems at all.

Yeah looks like I'm just going with flipz. I just tried unrevoked to get back superuser permissions working and well it worked and wifi tether works now. I have now lost usb connection. Phone will charge but doesn't ask me if I want disk drive mode etc.
Let's build a FAQ here to help everyone get the full benefits of this outstanding ROM! Let's not make this into a discussion thread so that it makes everyone's search alot easier to find what they need. I'm starting this since there is no FAQ or WIKI in the OP.
I'll start first...
MMS FIX: clear cache for your messaging app (whatever you are using) under Settings >>> Applications >>>Manage Applications>>All. Reboot into recovery, clear cache, Dalvik cache, and finally reboot.
I already posted this in the general forum but this seems more fitting. I installed CM7 on my Evo earlier today. Everything was amazing until I realized that the market app wouldn't work. Within a second of me tapping the icon I was back at my home screen. I wiped all my caches and wiped+ reinstalled CM7 but still no luck. I've reverted to a backup ROM for now until I can get this sorted out. Any help would be awesome!
Issue:
Bad Front Facing Camera Pics "Dark"
Bad Video on any setting other than "High"
Tried Different kernels:
SavageZen 0.0.3, 0.0.4, 0.0.5 no luck
Issue: Titanium Backup does not successfully install when I attempt to update from the market. Think it might have something to do with the GPS, but I don't know...
Attempting workarounds, anyone know if I can use Root Explorer to remove it and then re-download?
Hi Everyone
I would like to share what I have learned over the last week. First off. AWESOME ROM. Great job!!!
I discovered after many hours that a backup with Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 does not restore on my HTC EVO no matter how I do the backup (i.e. manual or using Rom Manager). Good news is that if you revert back to 2.5.0.7 when you do the backup (either method), I have success on restore. I did the GPS fix by reverting back to a prior image and using the ##GPS….# method and then restored my CM7 and I am happy to report GPS is working.. I did flash Savaged-Zen-V0.0.5-CFS-HAVS-NoSBC-WiMAX-GB-Signed to see if that would improve things. I did them together so I can’t be totally positive which one fixed it. I believe the combination works though. 4G also works which is good news. I do not see signal strength or the icon in the notification but the Wi-Fi shows it is 4G connected (does not say sprint though). It also is consistent in range with what I had with the Sense ROM.
I also just confirmed that the Wi-fi hotspot also works on 3G (no 4G in my hood). I connected my laptop and ipad without problems and connected to the internet.
I tried everything flashing / restoring, etc to get Sprint Voicemail to work. I gave up and downloaded a program called YouMail. So far, I am happy with it (works very similar to the Sprint product and it is free).
Camera appears to also be working. I will do more tests.
I will keep you posted on the things I learn over the next few weeks. I hope some of you find it helpful.
I will answer questions if I can. Thanks for the great ROM. I look forward to updates.
Rico
Issue: No Disk Mode after flashing tast kernel.
Fix: Use savage kernel. Make sure its a Gb wimax kernel.
Issue: No WiFi tethering (bluetooth and wifi tethering both broken). I won't work in 3 or 4g.

Tried that. Didn't work. Used Root Explorer to search for all Titanium backup files. Erased. Checked in /system/app nothing there as well. Checked in Applications list to see if it was there, it was. Can't seem to erase it completely off. Tried to redownload and reinstall from market. No go.
hey guys, for the mms fix, i can't seem to get that to work. mainly because the clear cache buttons are greyed out for the original messaging app and chompsms

You need to flash the proper Gapps for CM7. Do a google search for 'Gapps-GB' and you should find the download for it. Save it to your Sd-card and flash it using recovery. Hope this helps.
I am not sure what the problem is. Are you using the built in wi-fi tethering. I read somethere what the tethering app does not work.. I have had no problems with the build in wi-fi tethering. I ran my phone yesterday with GPS and some calls, text msg, etc and left it on overnight to see how it would do. I woke up and still had 38% after over 20 hours since last charged.
I am currently expierencing terrible wifi reception on my evo, also the data seems to go in and out of connection sometimes
also my mms is not working properly and I cannot seem to fix it, I have ran fix permissions in ROM Manager, Clear cache in settings, and reseting app data in Titanium... I dont want to wipe my phone (too many settings to mess with to get it back to how I like it ) but I am willing to if thats how it will get fixed...
I've searched high and low for a solution to this that works for me, both here and everywhere else Google would point me, but I have yet to find one that works, so I hope someone can help me.
I've an original Desire running a rooted Froyo ROM, which was rooted using unrevoked ages ago (probably a year or so no). When I originally rooted it, everything worked perfectly. A few months ago I ran the newest version of unrevoked over it again to update the recovery to the latest clockwork and it appeared to work fine, but ever since I did this the superuser app will continually pop up asking for permissions every time any app that needs root is run (sometimes MANY times, as when Titanium backup is run).
I've tried different things to see if I could fix it - clearing the data for the Superuser app, clearing the Dalvik cache, even reflashing the older clockwork recovery back onto my phone with the older version of unrevoked which originally worked, but with no luck. The phone is still S-ON, but I don't see why that would matter when I had no problems with the original rooting of the phone.
I'm stuck and am not sure where to go from here, so any advice would be very appreciated.

When you're on Superuser app, do you see your apps with green button on the rigth ?
Witch version of Superuser app do you use ? Mine is v2.3.6.3 with cmd su v2.3.1-ef
Also, when being asked for permission, is "Remember" checked?
why not just re-root?

Yes you should have a list of allowed apps on opening the su app itself - click apps on top left. The allowed apps shouldn't keep requesting permission each time.
You coukkd uninstall su app then reinstall from market?
Nandroid backup first!
Thanks for the all the replies, much appreciated!
@punky.mtp & @stringer7: Yes, I can see the apps I've granted permissions to in the Superuser app, each has a green button against it. I'm not sure of the current version of SU I'm running, but I know it's not the latest version. I've tried to update it from the Market but it won't over-write the existing installed SU. I'm doing a nandroid as I type and will try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that helps.
@HiVoltage85: Yes, I've set the remember checkbox as well for each app when granting permission.
@BigMrB: I've already re-rooted with different versions of unrevoked, several times, which hasn't fixed the problem.
I'll let you know how I go.
Sorry, I'm giving away my ignorance, but how do I uninstall my current Superuser app? The uninstall button is disabled in the manage applications part of the phone's setup.
Edit - Never mind, I found how to do it.
Looks like I have it fixed. I was able to remove the old Superuser app and install a new one from recovery (v2.3.6.3) which works properly and doesn't keep asking for permissions repeatedly. Thanks for the suggestions and help!
I've had a few apps tell me that I'm not rooted and my wifi tether no longer works (laptop doesnt even see the network. Tried changing and using another tehtering app and it saw it but only gave me limited connection. No internet.) but when I put SU into terminal emulator it returns #.Can someone please tell me how to check to make sure my root is still fully entact and functioning.
Try opening the superuser app.
Thanks for the fast response man. I really appreciate it.
I did and it didnt do anything so I cleared the permissions for it aaaaaaand think i made it worse. in super user I scrolled down to the wifi tether app and clicked it and hit the trash icon withouth thinking it through. IS there a way to manually add allowed apps. I also noticed SU never prompts me to allow apps anymore. Really holding up my ingress progress. lol

Just run any app that needs root and it will prompt you again. You cake also download root checker from play store.

Thank you too eles. I actually just did that and it told me I dont not have proper root access. But Terminal emulator does show # when prompted. Can either of you tell me how what may have caused this and how to fix it. I did just get the 4.1.1 update from T-mo so Im thinking maybe that.
Reflash superuser with your recovery.

Yes do this or Odin the prerooted one. The update broke it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks again aero. I reflashed it and Root checker still says im not. I also tried to run fix permissions and it says an error too.I also tried to do a back up and it hangs on "done freeing up space". What would be your next step to diagnosing/fixing this. and Thanks again you guys I've been freaking out a little. lol
Just re-root.
Then reflash your favorite ROM.
How did you root in the first place?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Is it really that simple? Won't there be some issues because I have a somewhat partial root already? I honestly don't rememeber my original method. I did it back in september and havent messed with it since. I never even ran any roms I'm still bone stock. Is there a method you would suggest? or possibly a link to it?
Yes, it really is that simple.
If root still isn't working, follow instructions in my signature. The su zip is also going to wipe out any previous superuser/supersu that is present on your phone.
Alternatively, if you already have CWM on your phone, you can use this http://db.tt/okfh9vzU to update it without tripping your counter.
Thanks to your guys' help I was able to reroot using the tool kit. Now my issue is that I did this to fix my wifi tethering issue and its not. What app would you guys suggest for tethering? I dont have it on a part of myplan but I know theres ways around it. Wifi tether and barnacle didnt work (wasnt seen by laptop or other s3) and fox fi was identified, let me connect but said it was limited, then eventually went to fully connected but still wouldnt load pages or anything. If I can get one of you guys to help me solve this by suggesting an app or something I'll get out of your hair.
Do I need to load a custom rom to tether maybe? Thanks again guys.

Hello,
So I've been using Gin2JellyBean for a good long while and since I don't use root apps everyday, I didn't notice this straight away.
Basically my SuperUser has stopped working properly. The SU app gives me the toast with the permission, but no actual access is given, and the apps (link2SD, Root Explorer etc) pick up on it and close.
So I've tried deleting the cache of Superuser, and now the toast don't appear anymore! But the prompt for allowing access doesn't either.
I've tried reflashing the rom, but no luck. So I tried wiping data before reflashing again, and this time it worked. But quite frankly I don't want to have to resetup everything!
The weirdest thing is that I've flash NXT 2 R1 and restored data through CWM and the root is working. So it comes from a conflict between the data and system I'm guessing?
I've tried flashing the latest superuser too, but it didn't change anything.
Anyone know of a quick fix for my Gin2Jellybean problem? I like NXT 2 but since performance wise they're about the same and I'm used to the look on Gin2JB, I'd prefer staying with it.
Thanks for any insight!
Yeah me too ! I used it 3 days and i lost my root... Strange ?

So!
I've worked it out: USB debugging has to be on for root to work, apparently.
Just keep the setting on and you'll be fine!
