I used the Casual.Jar to gain Root and it worked. I also installed Voodoo's Rootkeeper and backuped up the S.U.
I then came to find out that Time/Warner was offering live T.V. on my Galaxy Nexus , but would not work if the phone was rooted. Well I used Rootkeeper to temporarily remove root so I could try the Time Warner app. Well it still would not work. So I read some posts in a different threads and followed instructions... I deleted the S.U. App from my phone thinking that because I backed it up thru rootkeeper , I would be safe.... I was wrong! Something is not right!
When I invoke Rootkeeper and tell it to restore S,.U., it does not work.(I have to force close it) When I try to re-install S.U. from the playstore, it shows installed. I also downloaded S.U. update fixer and that does not work, it runs in a 1/4 window on my nexus and i cant tap anything. So I figured Why not run Casual.Jar again and it would fix everything. Nope! When I run rootkeeper it shows every boxed checked except Device Rooted in the status window. It also gives me the option to Delete S.U, back up AND below that ....Temp. un-root (keeps backup) But When I try either of those 2 options nothing happens and I have to force close it.
Please help. I would like to restore Root and I guess another back up of S. U. before I run the update 4.04 that Verizon pushed to my phone (I just keep tapping install later. HELP!

CASUAL is just a fancy script that does this. Do it manually yourself, and you will be fine.
Thank you for your reply! But no way can I do this manually I do not have any idea of most of whats going on in that thread you directed me too! That looks way too involved. Thanks again.

Everytime I try updating my phone OTA it starts and then it fails by showing a picture of a phone and a question mark above it. My phone is rooted I rooted it following a video on youtube by zedomax. But I guess it didnt work after I went through everything so then I use unrevoked and it worked. Unfortunately I been getting a lot of sd card errors so I really need this update. Someone please assist me in this.
You can't update a rooted phone using the downloaded OTA. You'll need to apply the rooted update.zip found in the upgrades forum for 1.32.651.6. Flash that in recovery and you'll have the latest ROM with root.
Thanks so much you really assisted me in upgrading my phone. If anyone else has the problem I did here is what I did. I downloaded the zip file from here a post by flipzmode. Just search the firmware thats what I did.
After I downloaded the file I placed the zip file in the root of my memory stick and I turned off my phone and turned it back on while holding the volume down button first then the lock button on the top. Once in the bootloader menu I went to recovery and the exclamation mark in the triangle showed up then I ran recovery-windows.bat and then I flashed the phone from my sd card and selected the new firmware.
Hi, do you have to reinstall all your apps and reconfigure the phone again? I rooted my phone, and I am not seeing any issues with the SD card. But I would hate to reconfigure all over again!! Please let me know.
Thanks.

Unless you have Titanium backup, you have to reinstall everything if you flash any roms. Try switching to wifi, go to your market, and into the downloads section. You may get lucky, and the apps that you have downloaded will be there, but you have to download them again. Being in wifi will speed up the download process.
Thanks for the info.
I use appbrain, which is pretty cool to create a backup of your apps. But even with that, you still have to install, and the worst part is configuring apps (user name and password) and also configuring my scene in EVO (folders, widgets, etc...) I have done this process 2 times and to do it one more time would be a pain. I am thinking if I have to do this everytime I need to update, might as well go unrooted. The only reason i went to root was to delete some annoying apps and to run wifi tethering. I rather leave with those two drawbacks than reconfiguring my EVO all the time when a new update is out.
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 attempted to root my phone using 1-click root app and it looked like everything went well. I was able to tether, titanium backup could access what it needed to, etc. As I continued to try new apps I started to see an error message more and more "<app name> as been denied super user permissions". At first I thought nothing of it but now Im starting to question it my phone is fully rooted.
I down loaded Root check basic which tells me that my SPH-710 is not rooted as I once thought. Now Im not sure what I should do?
It should be noted that when I go into recovery mode sometimes I have issues when attempting to boot. (I know this isnt much to go on but I havent exactly documented whats happening and Im paranoid to try it right now).
So here I am looking to you phone gurus for advice. I should have the correct drivers and development kit installed, but again this isnt something I do on a daily basis and would rather not go into this blind and brick my phone. The last phone I rooted was my EVO 4G and once I got that configured where I wanted it I never touched it again.
Anway.. any links, apps, sites, etc, that you could provide would be appreciated.
Thank you.
The easiest way is to flash a rooted kernel in odin, download a ROM and install it through the recovery if you want to after that.

If you were able to run Titanium you were rooted. You probably got an OTA update recently which disables your root. Just re-run the rooting package and you'll have it back.
Re-root Post OTA
+1, got the update a couple nights ago and also lost root even though I still had the Superuser app and could run the allowed programs there as root.
I used sfhub's method to root again and it was a snap:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Bonus is s/he now supports a way to turn off CIQ!
I'm not really sure what happened. I followed verbatim the instructions for motochopper, I was able to flash TWRP, and I was even able to flash the 4.2 Camera with Photo Sphere (though it doesn't work at all.), but when I try to run anything that requires root access, (Titanium Backup, for example), it tells me that it was unable to get root access. SuperSU tells me that it needs to update the superuser binary, but it always fails, and never tells me why. ChainsDD superuser is also giving me the same issue. I am very definitely stumped. I am open to all ideas at this point.
It's also starting to get glitchy since I did this, so I may just reset it until I can find some other way to get this thing rooted.
I do love it tho. Surprised a friend by controlling their TV with it. :angel:
I believe you need this: (I had to install before my root worked.)

Thats what happened to me, and this is thread where I asked and got help to fix it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288234
Okay, now I have root, verified that with SuperSU, Titanium Backup, and ROM Manager. Schweeeeeeeeet! Now if I could just get the Photospheres to work, I'd be in great shape!
Help!
Ok, so yesterday, Titanium Backup Pro ran an update (overnight). This morning, I get a notification that it's lost root privelege. See system messages during reboot for more information. So I rebooted. Didn't see any further information. Launched TBPro, still no root.
I verified that my phone is still rooted. Launched a terminal window and ran "su - " ... then ran an "id", user came back as 'root'.
Thoughts? Do I need to rerun CWM? I'm running a rooted stock, no ROMs. I'm confused as to why TBPro doeesn't have root anymore. I know it's tied to the updated app, but am not sure how to re-grant root.

Delete the entry in your SU app.

So I noticed that now after this all happened my SD card won't mount. It tries, but then I get a notification that it's safe to remove the card. I need some help with this.
