[Q] Not Rooted after Revolutionary - hboot 1.06 - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my USCC Desire with hboot 1.06 with Revolutionary and installed the recovery from Revolutionary. Everything seemed to work fine. After reboot I installed Superuser but ROM Manager says I don't have root. I installed Busybox and it says "the su binary was not found on your phone" I tried rerooting but it says I'm already rooted.
When I boot to recovery I get the Revolutionary recovery but I can't select anything.
How can I fix this? What do I need to do?
Thanks

Did you do it wrong? What do you mean you installed superuser? From where and how?
Do you mean you flashed the zip you need to root the phone after you flashed recovery? The one on the revolutionary site? Or did you just install superuser from the market? Sounds to me you did the latter to be honest, because following the in structions on the revolutionary site, you would flash the zip which would give you the su binary...

Ok, yeah I installed Superuser from Market. I overlooked the zip on Revolutionary's website.
So I can't select anything from Revolutionary's recovery. How would I install this zip?

Haha....
I can move up and down using the volume up/down but cannot select using the power button.
I guess I can just flash using adb/fastboot.

Power turns off the screen. Try trackball

[PATCH] Install Superuser, Busybox and Rooted Kernel (For Use After Obtaining S-OFF)

The first thing anyone is going to want to do once AlphaRev's S-OFF process is complete will be to get your device properly rooted within Android. I have created a simple update zip which will take care of the following for you:
Re-install the stock kernel, using a rooted ramdisk (credit jcase).
Install the Superuser app and su binary in /system/xbin.
Install and setup Busybox in /system/xbin.
Simply install this patch via CWM and reboot. From there you can proceed to run any root apps you need (such as Titanium).

AlphaRevX patches CWM for your recovery during the S-OFF process. And even if it fails you can follow a guide posted on this forum on how to fastboot it.
I flashed this .zip through CWM and Titanium backup won't work. It's telling me that it is unable to find root. I clicked the "Problems?" button and still nothing happened. I remember with the Eris it would run the busybox after you pushed that button. I might just try to install busybox manually as described on Titanium's wiki.
Any other thoughts before I do that?
I flashed this file on my stock but rooted/soff incredible 2, and i seem to have lost root privileges. Luckyily I made a backup before I flashed this so now I'm back to my original problem, of not being able to fix permissions via rom manger because it doesn't see root.
Hey, I have S-Off and patched CWM, but when I hold down the volume button and try to power on, it goes straight to the HTC screen. What am I doing wrong? Does fastboot need to be turned off?

Assuming the answers to Gabriel's questions check out, perhaps you should try the 4EXT Recovery by madmaxx82. I'm finding I prefer it to the original CwM 3.0.2.4. So many more features...

[Q] Trying 2 understand few thing things after/about rooting!

So i have rooted the htc DZ and tried out multiple roms... Till now i used to use the CWR to wipe the data/cache before loading a new rom.. Yesterday i decided to try SuperWipeG2+ without reading much(not trying to understand what it exactly does).
After i flashed it, i by mistake hit the reboot now in CWR and it hung at the boot screen. To fix this i removed the battery and put it back in,since power on was not working. When i did so it went to HBoot and started flashing the 1.34 PC10IMG file present in the sdcard which i did not remove after rooting.
Query:-
1) Should i have removed 1.34 PC10IMG?
2)If i ever face a similar situation like mentioned above will it enter the recovery,if the1.34 PC10IMG file was not present ?(i did try to do away with updating the 1.34 PC10IMG,but always entered the HBoot on every subsequent restart and never allowed me to change the options from flashboot to anything else).
2a)If it does not enter recovery, then what is it to be done?
3)Currently i have stock 1.34 rom which says i do not have root(check this by installing rom manger )! but when i check Boot page, it says S-off and other Hboot etc.
I did run from step 1. to root DZ and it was back to good old rooted condition.
(Did a lot searching and reading but i couldn't answer the above questions- hence the thread also just not comfortable experimenting too much,might end bricking the phone )
Non-rooting query:-
4)Also what is use of app2sd/partition of sd-card!
i mean, as per my understanding this(app2sd) can"only"be used when there is partition in you sd-card which allows apps to be moved to sd-card,but when using MIUI rom i still can move most of the user apps to sd-card..
If these questions has been already asked and replied or even already explained please forgive me for creating this thread and please provide the link.. Would appreciate a lot..
Thanks..
Anyone ... Sorry abt the long post...
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
I only know no.4
Since Froyo, you dont need this app. You can move it to your sd card under the Application setting. But, not all apps can be moved (such as task manager, pre installed app). You dont need to create partition, just install it and run it.
Anyway, since our DZ has internal memory 1,5 GB, I never moved apps to sd card
Cheers
Thanks ... 1 cleared.. 3 to go...

For the other q's
Yes you should remove the PC10IMG from your sdcard.otherwise you can't get into recovery through bootloader.
(although you could boot to fastboot, and if you have the eng bootloader boot a recovery through terminal/cmd)
Did you run the "./root_psn" step of the rooting guide? If not that might be the error with not perm-root

All completely incorrect.
1) UnrEVOked only s-offs CDMA with unrEVOked forever, NOT GSM
2) UnrEVOked only roots 2.1 & 2.2, not 2.3
3) He has already s-off'd with revolutionary.

i dont know how to flash from recovery. i downloaded that zipfile, so what now? help me hereeeee
1. You need to save the file onto the root of your SD card (i.e not in a folder)
2. Boot your phone into recovery by holding vol down and pressing power and using the volume buttons to navigate to recovery and pressing power to select recovery
3. In recovery navigate to install zip from SD card using the volume buttons and press the trackball to select it.
4. Navigate down to the file name and press the trackball to flash it.
5. Once its finished flashing navigate to reboot system now
Once this is done you should see the superuser app in the app drawer. You have root.

Well s-off means you can flash a custom recovery but i think you have to do that through fastboot and unfortunately that's something I don't know. A guy on here called rootSU has a good guide in his signature.

If you didn't flash the recovery at the last stage of revolutionary, you can re run the process again. It'll know you have already s-offed and will offer the custom recovery again.

No custom rom, cant boot into cwm recovery, and i believe the zip is still on my sd card
this may be a stupid question but did I need to do anything with the vhwk files like I did on my first dinc2? I never used those files this time because I was thinking the process was different with the taco root method.
If you've gone through Tacoroot and Revolutionary (which it appears you have) and have installed CWM, you still need to install SU. You can't select Recovery from HBoot? You may need to move the P32IMG.zip files from the root of your SD card and reboot. It should allow you into Recovery to flash SU.
