Hey i just rooted my device and Superuser won't grant permissions to apps that need root. I tried updating the binaries and it gets stuck at gaining root access. I'm running stock t-mobile 2.3.6 Gingerbread on a Galaxy s2. Please help! Thank You.
Superuser version 3.1.3
Im getting this constant nagging to update my software from t-mobile. I wonder if they quietly snuck in something to block root access?

Well why do you wish to run GB instead of ICS? Tmo is saying "hey there's newer better firmware out... you should run it!"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Because I'm still traumatized from when i did an OTA update on my evo a while back and it bricked my phone. Im updating to ICS when I find a good Rom. I just got the phone, still exploring my options. By the way, if i do the update will I lose Superuser?

Lol, I still miss my GB Juggernaut ROM. All the AOKP goodness in an ultra stable package. The ICS ROMS are still... well, too varied and not every single one has all the features. I'd like AOKP features in a WiFi-calling enabled ROM...... == Juggernaut GB

Sounds like you might have had a bad flash or something and didn't get root on properly. Have you tried doing it again? Are you doing it through ODIN or CWM?
Honestly don't let the ICS and JB goodness sway you... the new ROMs still have little issues here and there... GB was _AWESOME_
I followed this exact guide down the the last detail and installed the attached files.

I'm gonna try reflashing. I'm using CWM.
I really just want speed, battery and stability and am not too impressed with all the half baked ICS roms that are available. I'll probably stick to GB until someone makes a flawless rom for JB or ICS.

This happened to me once. It's because su got corrupted or something.

I know it's a downgrade, but I'm just saying it didn't work for me on Gingerbread 2.3.6 and your guide says for 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 4.0.3, and 4.0.4
I'm not sure if mine was an isolated case. Thank you for the great guide by the way with the exception of that minor SU issue.
@8Fishes I reflashed and it didn't work. That's why I ended up downgrading.

yeah now im just curious if 3.1.3 is suppose to support gingerbread. It'll be weird if it didn't. Is there an update to your superuser since you're on GB? if there is.. is it the 3.1.3 update? I'm way too lazy to test this out myself since i'm in the middle of testing other ROMs.

Former Evo owner here myself and must say this is a hell of a phone with a great set of roms. Now not as much choices as we had back in the day with the Evo but good roms none-the-less. I would do yourself a favor and really not read into too much of the user reviews here. I see a lot of user error and just terrible flashing habits and a lot of complaining about issues with roms that quite frankly are created by the users bad flashing habits.
You had some good suggestions in here and great choice of stable roms like tdjs rom jamison904 rom
CM9 or AOKP

I see an update in the Playstore, but I'm not willing to risk it at this point. @ Playaa thanks I'll weigh those options along with the other ROM that was suggested to me.
By the way, I read that in ICS there is a method for Tmobile to track tethering and start charging you for it even if you have a custom ROM. Is this so?

There are more than one dev who posted a rooted stock ROM so its hard to tell. When a new OTA comes out, a rooted stock ROM would be available soon after.
Thank you for all of the responses, I am enlightened. I am simply going to hold on this nandroid file and give the GB beta that is burning a hole in my pocket a try.

You will get the update if you are STOCK rooted, not if using a custom ROM.
IF you have CWM installed (and I am sure you do), it could put you in a bootloop if you take the OTA.
IF you flash any of the current ICS builds that are based on Skyrocket, you will loose Wi-Fi calling ..
Just an FYI ...

Kies to 4.0.4 if you want a stable stock ROM. You can always root after that. 4.0.3 stock wasn't that greatest btw. most of the 4.0.4 custom ROMs are stable. Only the jb 4.1+ roms have a couple bugs here and there.

Deff agree on that one. But alas, i will miss alot of the OG functions from touchwiz on this phone. Although with GN1, they found work arounds for it. Especially S Note.
My plan is to root as late as I can to avoid messing things up. I figure we won't see an update for a few weeks and by then all the bugs that come along with rooting a phone should be worked out. I really enjoy this phone and can, surprisingly, wait on rooting.

I know when I rooted that if I go to check for a software update it says it won't do it on a modified device so I am pretty sure we won't get OTA's through the rooted devices but you can just wait for someone to post the updated OTA and flash that and your good to go!
