Cannot install superuser in droid incredible 2(for installing custom rom) - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Hi
I have successfully downgraded to 2.3.3 and installed Clock work mod recovery.I want to install the but I have lost the wifi capability as when i try to turn wifi on, it says error.
Secondly,I cannot install superuser from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742522
I downloaded the 2nd zip file(SuperSU_V0.93_-efghi-signed_Stable_Update.zip) ,put into sd card,booted into CWM recovery,install zip from sd card,reboot and then the phone stuck at White boot screen with HTC text on it.
I tried restarting but I had to take out battery finally to restart it,and it stuck there again.
. I was having a nandroid backup and I restored boot from there.
Does anyone know what am I doing wrong.Shall I download the first one rar file also then convert it to zip and flsh it with CWM recovery?I want to install this ROM(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830675)

Yes,I have also installed CWM.I can see the seperuser installed but whenever I try to install some application that requires root,the superuser crashes and asks me to Force Close.
I am trying to flash superuser zip but that just gives me bootloops.Same thing happens when I try to flash a ROM zip.Any solutions???

This is the one you need and flash it via recovery

Fake Flash? Quick Boot? Confused

I tried this in the Q-n-A but no response so thought I would post it here. Sorry for the clutter.
I am rooted with Toasts method and have his .6 rom running (Thanks Toast )
I have been trying to follow the fake flash thread as well as the quickboot.
Are they dependent on each other? Do I need to do fake-flash THEN quick boot to get the rom manager to be able to reboot into recovery?
Or do all I need to do is push the reboot and follow the quick boot instructions?
Well atm quickboot is how you get to the recovery. They havent frigured out how to get there from just booting up yet.*It will come in due time, we have great devs here.*
But you can either have one or the other, hell even both. But the Fake flash you can do with out a computer*Toash method*
The Rom Manager is basicly the same thing as the fake flash there is just a app for that. from what I know
Hope this could be of some help
Ok cool, so if I do the Quick Boot thing, I can reboot to recovery through the Rom Manager directly? Sounds like the way to go for now.

I did the fake flash first......which will install the update.zip to sdcard which is ur on board recovery then you will have to read the quickboot thread to fix the ability to reboot, the reboot file needs to be replaced before quickboot or Rom manager can reboot the phone into recovery.

OK, I thought all I needed to do was the quickboot thread, then your response got me all confused again about what I need to do.
From my understanding, Rom Manager and Quickboot do the same thing as far as rebooting to recovery.
just get the free version of Rom Manager and then the paid license.. thats all you need

You are not alone buddy.. I just want to flash custom roms away from a pc the easiest way but not sure now either.

OK, if you are rooted with Toasts all you have to do is follow the instructions that are in the Quickboot thread.
I loaded Rom Manager and clicked download clock thingy.
Then I rebooted to toasts recovery and ran the windows.bat file to get access to ADB.
follow the quickboot thread.
Now from Rom Manger you can select reboot to recovery and that will take you into a reboot and end up in recovery where you can backup, wipe, flash etc.
No computer needed.

Nope, I posted all I did and now can reboot into recovery from Rom Manager.
well ROM Manager force closes on me when I try and download clockwork and then if i try and relaunch it without rebooting it will run and download clock but then just stays at su request and then force closes..i imagine because it force closes the first time i try and click the clock button.

sent..it looked pretty long though
Okay I wiped everything and reloaded ROM using clockwork and then installed ROM Manager and choose manual override and the su permisssion screen came up correct and choose allow all and then hit recovery rom and nothing happens..it doesnt force close though
I don't know if it was my rom or what but I wiped everything and loaded a new version of rom and now rom manager boots to recovery!! I think it had something to do with Su permission cause this time it went to the correct screen and I selected allow all always and its all good.
I flashed right from phone! I purchased rom manager to support your wonderful work.
Thank you!

Updgrading Clockwork mod

During the summer I rooted my phone and i have Clockworkmod v2.5.0.7 installed.
I am trying to upgrade to the latest version and it never seems to stick.
Using Rom manager. It says that im flashed to v5.0.2.0 yet when i boot to recovery from rom manager it loads to v2.5.0.7. Does the same thing if i choose to flash a rom though ROM MANAGER. each time v2XXX loads
So i fire up recover and try loading the zip. Bingo it works. The screen turns from green to blue and V5.0.2.0 is now there for me to use. But if i reboot and later return to recovery its back to the old V2xxxx..
Any ideas why this is happening? Is it really necessary to move on to the V5xxxx versions? I was going to try out some new roms and they failed to load yesterday through v2.5.0.7 yet the rom i had been using loaded fine.
Thanks in advance..
When you use Rom Manager to flash a rom or reboot into recovery from Rom Manager, it boots the recovery from a downloaded recovery file. It's known as fake flash or in other words, it's temporary. If you want a permanent recovery, you would need to flash a recovery.img through fastboot.

if your Desire is s-off, then ROM Manager flashes recovery normally.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
rom manager now works only if u have s-off..no fake flash anymore is possible
revolutionary.io will upgrade cwm if you want
I think this thread answers one of my own questions but will ask it anyway to confirm; when I rooted my Desire (via Unrevoked) a few months back, the ROM Manager app that continues to be updated via the market offers the option to upgrade the version of CWM... is it OK to proceed with this?
I've been wary of upgrading from the version installed via the rooting process, just in case, but seeing this thread has made me think there isn't actually an issue with whatever version of recovery you have installed?

Out of curiosity - what roms you tried to load? As far as I know 2.5.0.7 was the last cwm supporting both amend and edify scripting and it never failed for me personally.
To upgrade recovery (or hboots) I always use Fastboot Commander and it's very easy to use and never let me down.

I agree. Unless you need to maintain an ext 4 partition (as 2.5.0.7 converts it to lower apparently when backing up) I see no reason to change from 2.5.0.7.
I use it even today. Best recovery IMHO.

Lost my root?

I rooted my phone like 30 minutes before the latest update came out (LG2) and when a friend was playing with it, he updated it. Now it appears I do not have root anymore. How can I get this back so I can flash the CM10 rom on here? If I open super user my first 2 sets of data under "su binary v3.1" are red and then the 3rd item which is /system/xbin/su is green. Let me know if there is any other data I can provide to help assist. Thank you so much!
I lost root last week, titanium backup failed, super user was denied access etc. I tried to update binaries but that didn't work either. However when I booted into recovery it was still clockwork recovery not stock. So all I had to do to regain root was to flash the cwm_superuser zip then the latest teamepic-root-from-recovery zip. It worked for me. If you boot into recovery and it's the stock recovery then my guess is you will probably need to reroot via the Odin method.

I have CWM installed and i can do the volume,home button, power on button and load into it, but whenever i run any package (includind CWM_superuser.zip i get an error saying Esignature failed. I tried reflashing the CWM but when i open odin i cant get it to show the phone and light up the com port box... any other ideas?
You can't flash the root from recovery zip either? If you haven't tried, that should reroot your phone.

What about adb?
When you're in CWM recovery you should be able to disable signature verification.

[Q][Xperia Ultimate HD 4.0] Lost Root ?!

Hi everyone !
3 weeks ago I installed the Xperia UHD 4.0 rom on my arc s following the indicated steps except for the root (my phone was rooted with eroot). Then I tried to install Greenify has recommanded by jader, but i noticed it always failed at hibernating apps. So I checked if I still had my phone rooted, in 2 ways : via Root Checker app, and via a method with Connectbot (if you want to know search "is my phone rooted").
I realized my phone isn't rooted anymore but i have CWM installed (don't know why but i can boot in CWM...), so I'm asking :
- Is it safe to reinstall xperia uhd ? (since i'm not root anymore)
- Any idea to get root back ?
If anything is missing, just tell me i'll add it
EDIT : i tried to reinstall UHD 4.0 but now I'm stuck at the sony logo. If someone is able to help that would save my life
And i tried SEUS, which tells me I have the most recent firmware.
Try installing SuperSU and see if you can regain root access. UHD comes rooted so you don't have to do anything to your phone unless you uninstalled Superuser which will make you lose root...

I know, that's the point : I didn't uninstall anything ...
Yep ! So I've just downloaded and opened the app. It tells me to update binary, i had to choose between "Normal" installation and "CWM installation".
I tried "Normal" and I got a german message which basically said "Superuser has been detected and it may causes conflicts, do you want to try to remove it ?". I pressed no, and got "Installation failed".
Then I tried CWM installation. It tells me it's going to reboot in recovery, and if nothing happens access recovery manually.
Concretely, it reboots, but normally (and nothing happens). So if I reboot in recovery, I have to install SuperSU from SD (with the zip given in the xda thread) ?

I assume you mean reflash from recovery mode ("install zip from sd card"), without wiping data and without formating /system. I'm trying right now.
EDIT : I tried, but now i'm stuck at the Sony logo . Everything went well, except the reboot failed... If you know what to do, like taking out and in the battery and try rebooting, it would be cool...

If you're using UHD4, it should come as a AROMA installer. Just select upgrade from existing installation. You will keep your data this way.

That's what i've done, but as said previously, I'm now stuck at the sony logo... I am going to search for some kind of unbrick method using flashtool (i'm going to try to reflash the stock firmware, then reroot via eroot, and reinstall UHD 4.0).
Finally reflashed stock .587 and rerooted via eroot, worked like a charm ! Thanks for your help by the way !

I installed the KK ROM wit the TOT method and then rooted the phone and installed the CWM recovery as an apk. Now when I go into SU, it says I am not rooted. I tried 2 methods to root but unsuccessful. It boots into CWM recovery and then nothing. Do I need to reinstall the OS with the TOT method again? Any ideas?

This method works perfectly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51480568&postcount=1
After root, use this to get the correct recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52945705&postcount=1
Once the phone boots into the UI, use Freegee to install the latest recovery.

flash the hacked twrp. that gets me out of cwm bootloop.
Same problem here phone was rooted and then installed CWM and for some reason lost root. Its not a CWM bootloop.
When the root step requires "Apply Update from ADB" I cannot because CWM doesn't have that option.

I got bad news bro. I had to re TOT the phone and start from scratch. There is a CWM 6.0.4.4 floating around causing this issue. The phone loses root but it constantly boots into CWM when trying to root.
ROOT achieved, now need recovery!
OK, so I had to re TOT and get the phone back to factory state with 4.4. Then I was able to root successfully and now I am wondering how and which recovery to use. Could someone please post a link to Philz recovery and can I flash it with the same root toll with ADB sideload? THanks.
Ok I figured out how to get root back on my phone! Yay!
Run the same F240 root tool as usual, it will reboot phone into CWM recovery but you can't choose "apply update from ADB" so instead pick INSTALL ZIP, then choose INSTALL ZIP FROM SIDELOAD. Press any key on computer to load root files then at next step in CWM choose GO BACK, then choose REBOOT SYSTEM NOW. At next step in CWM will ask "Rom may flash stock recovery on boot. F1 This can not be undone." here I choose NO. Phone will reboot and root is restored. I think before I was scared and chose YES on this step and that's what lost my root.
Root Check Basic and SuperSU both show I am rooted and back to okay.

I used that CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery to install a custom recovery only. Once it flashes the recovery, reboot the phone. Answer No to the disclaimer in recovery and let the phone boot into kitkat. Then I used Freegee to install it's latest version of CWM. Ignore the warning if you get one in Freegee. It will install the newer recovery.

You'll loose root if you answer "Yes" to the disclaimer CWM throws when you try to reboot. Just answer "No" and you won't loose root.
