Titanium backup saying I'm not rooted...

...but I am. I unlocked bootloader and rooted a few days ago, now I flash jmz's CM9 on CWM and it took fine. I DL TB and it tells me I'm not rooted. Whhaaa? Furthermore, I go to flash boot.img in fastboot and I get this:
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (3426 KB)...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: -0.000s
Coming from the Optimus V I've never had to deal with flashing boot.img separately. What am I missing here?

Check the superuser app, maybe you have denied the root access by mistake. Other root apps are working fine?
For now we can not S-Off HTC One V thus this does not allow to flash the kernel (boot.img) using CWM and we need to do it via fastboot. However I have no idea why it does not allow to flash the boot.img

After rooting, SuperSU was installed, then when I flashed from stock to CM9, I noticed it was replaced by Superuser. I didn't deny by mistake... it wouldn't even allow me the chance to, when I tried to open TB it simply stated I wasn't rooted and that Superuser denied it. I went back into recovery and restored, then used TB just fine on stock. For fun, I went into fastboot and tried to flash TWRP recovery and I still couldn't flash anything. Super weird... I had no problems doing it before when unlocking, installing CWM, and rooting.

Hey rad, thanks, I'll try that out. Is it really a big deal if I don't flash that separate boot.img in fastboot after flashing that CM9 build through CWM if my phone seems to be acting fine? I'm still kind've confused as to why I can't flash anything in fastboot all of the sudden.
UPDATE: WORKED... thank you so much. I'm stoked right now!

Recovery Won't Load

So I've fallen victim to a Clockwork Mod issue. (Why I decided to try Clockwork is beyond me) I've never had this issue with any phones, and after searching around I was unable to find anything that would fix the problem. I tried erasing the cache in fastboot, but it still doesn't work. I'm hoping there is something I can do to repair "recovery" without having to flash RUU. Any help would be awesome. I really hope this isn't a repost because I seriously search all over this board. I have the CDMA version of the HTC One V.

Hi
Just reflash recovery with fastboot
Either CWM or a stock one
fastboot flash recovery <recovery image file>

flashed to stock recovery. cleared fastboot cache. still not loading. i guess i've got to go through the whole process of flashing the ruu?

having trouble finding an image file of the CWM recovery. I have tried flashing to stock recovery to no avail. I want to try flashing the CWM but all I can find are GSM versions, and unforunately I have CDMA. I was able to get the .zip file from the ClockworkMod website but none of those methods will work. I can't use Clockwork Mod to flash the recovery, and I can't use Recovery to flash a .zip file. Any suggestions would be very helpful. +karma and possibly some mons to anyone that can help me solve this issue.

Hi
AFAIK CWM is not recommended for CDMA devices
Use TWRP instead
And make sure you use the correct one for CDMA primoc!!!!!

[Q] [Help] Rom won't boot, and forgot to backup!

I'm ****ed! I know that, and i know i'm screwed up big time! So point telling me that.
Let's take it from the top.
1) Used HTC One X (Tegra3) All-In-One Toolkit V1.2.2 . No problem here (beside that i didn't make a backup from start)
Kernel used: CWM 5.8.4.0
2) Transferred HTC One X - CyanogenMod 10 Nightlies -4.1.2 to my SD.
3) Wiped my phone.
4) Installed the ROM
5) Rebooted
6) ROM didn't boot at all!
I tried to find solutions on google, and i here. But no luck at all! I can't connect to my SD (Or i might, but just failed doing it), to put in a stock ROM.
Hope i've told all the correct info's. Otherwise, please ask.
Any help would be great. And again, no need to point out that i ****ed up, i already know that.

SAme thing different device
will this do the same for a htc evo 4g on sprint. I know it's very stupid question just don't want to screw up my phone more

Read up
Its a request people its a 600 Dollar device READ UP before doing things.I am sure u didnt even read anything for 5 mins also .OP says kernel Used:CWM 5.8.4 GOD SAVE ME!!

Both CM9/CM10 hangs at boot.

My procedure in chronological order:
Flashed recovery TWRP 2.3
Wiped everything possible in the wipe-tab
Installed CM9/10 from zip on SD-card (zip contains META-INF, system and boot.img)
Flashed boot.img from the zip file CM9/10
Issued the command fastboot erase cache
Unplugged cable and reboot
What happens is that I am stuck at the HTC booting screen. I have been here for about 30-40 minutes. If I try any adb shell command I receive this error: - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -. Clearly, something is not right here. I will not speculate because I lack the knowledge to do so. Any help is appreciated because I have been phone-less for a day now and it is getting irritating. Thanks!

Seems you did everything correctly.
Try to flash via ClockWorkMod recovery.

I just did the same procedure as before but with clockworkmod instead. Still hung at booting screen. I get the same error as before. Is root access a must? I have not done any exploit, only thing I have done is unlocked my boot loader at HTCDev.

No, I have not. Maybe I should give it a try? Or is it not required? Should I not be able to start the phone without any gapps?
Do you by chance have any ROM you can recommend that works so I could try it out and exclude problems? Would very like to know if it is my phone or ROM that is buggy.

It should boot without them, but better to give it a try.
Ironically, I've been using CM10 for more than a month now and never had any problems booting.

If you have an hboot newer than 1.12 you need a different boot.img, check the bottom if the ROM OP.

Thanks, but still a no go. What I did was take the modified boot from your link and the boot.img from the zip file, do the online converter as stickied on the forum, then did the procedure all again but this time I flashed the new boot.img I got from combining the old and the new boot.img. Still hangs at boot. Very annoying. I am currently using a modified stock ROM and I dislike it very much.

Hey,
I have exactly the same issue. I've unlocked my bootloader using the method as specified by htcdev.com. Then I flashed the newest CWM recovery. But if I flash any ROM, I'm stuck at its boot animation. However if I then unzip the boot.img from the ROM, and flash that (fastboot flash boot boot.img), my phone won't boot past HTC screen. Even erasing the cache didn't help (fastboot erase cache).
I've restored the stock ROM using the RUU, however during the process something went wrong and it formatted my sd-card. So I'm stuck with the stock ROM, without any applications or data.
Can anybody help me flash CM10?
My Hboot version is 1.36.0000
And I'm trying to flash the cm-10-20121210-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip ROM.
Thanks in advance

You cannot use the boot.img that comes with the zip out of the box if you have Hboot 1.36. What you have to do is repack it, taking the boot.img from the zip file and then a modified boot.img here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=9173 (thanks TToivanen), then as I understood it, repack it for instance here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815607, download the repacked boot.img and flash that.
With that said, I could not get it running but it might be something wrong with my phone. Please try this out and tell me if it works or not so I may start to conclude where the error lies.

Sorry, but all I can say is that you did a mistake at some point.
Try installing again with full wipe and remember to wipe cache and dalvik.
You are referring to the official CM10 and not Trip's or any other builds right?

I see, then it is not only I who have this problem.
And a heads up, if the backup would go wrong, I currently use this ROM and it works pretty good if you want stock or cannot be arsed to get a root exploit for the stock ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035203.

You're right, I forgot to do that. I does boot now, still at a loss though. Can't we downgrade our Hboot to a version in which we know that CM can be flashed?

Kinda out of ideas here...
Can you confirm that the boot.img flashes ok? (should say OKAY)
Also confirm that you have endeavoru and not evita.

recovery issues

I have a Verizon xl unlocked, rooted, elemental kernel, running X firmware and I'm unable to get into recovery. I've tried multiple times and get recovery unknown. Anyone wide having this problem?

Yes, I screwed up my phone at one point and ended up restoring to stock.
But OEM recovery is not available to download.
So... I don't have recovery either.
Doesn't matter. Don't need it for anything.
Just need to wait for TWRP to drop and that'll actually be useful.

I just wanted to wipe my cache. I deleted some apps using titanium and they keep showing app stop working message. I haven't screwed my phone up yet, so i think it has something with flashing Google firmware on my Verizon xl. Just a guess

I think recovery is now tied to kernel (boot.img). Flash the stock kernel image in fastboot, then try recovery. Note that when you get into recovery, I think you hit Power-Volume up to get to option to wipe cache.
Or you probably can wipe cache in fastboot (fastboot erase cache used to work on 7.0 and under).

As someone mentioned earlier recovery is part of boot.img. However you should still be able to access it like I did.
You may want to find a "root" cache cleaner. Much easier...
Good luck!

I don't remember the factory image for pixel now and I can't check -no PC) ..but if you unzip the image. zip you should have the recovery.image ( Nexus images) ..if it so try to flash only the recovery..
I was reading ..but really now the recovery is a part of boot.img ?
