I used AlphaRevx to achieve S-OFF and when it asked if I wanted the CWM recovery, I said yes. It installed the recovery properly. I have SU. However, if I try to run Titanium, it says that there is no root access. I have rebooted several times. I tried to flash CM7 and it was stuck in a bootloop. Downloaded from the mirror and it booted up fine. I tried playing around with ROM Manager while I was booted into CM7 and it told me there was no recovery image on the root of the SD card.
Hopefully it's just something simple that I'm overlooking. Any suggestions?
Another thing I though was weird is that I couldn't sync to Gmail while booted into CM7.
To gain root access on the stock rom, you first have to flash thisthrought recovery.
I actually did flash that as well. Still had the same results.
Should I have removed the SU file that was already installed on the sd card and then flashed the patch?
Hmm weird, maybe try flashing one of these 2 roms
this
or
this
Both are based off the stock froyo rom, debloated and rooted.
I'll probably give that a try in a little bit. I suspect that it will not work as I didn't even have root access with CM7 installed.
Maybe before you flash clear all the data at least 2 times, do a factory reset, and clear the dalvik cache. If nothing works try the manual way to flash CWM and reflash it.
I only wiped data/cache once before I flashed each time. I'll try wiping more than once next time.
Do you think I could have flashed a corrupt file for SU?

Make sure you wipe /data, /cache, /system before you flash any rom. If you do this it removes the chances for errors to occur. if you flashed CM7 over the original /system, you might have corrupted the su file.
I don't think that I did, but it is possible. I'll first start by removing the SU file that is on there now and then flashing the patch that you posted up. I'll update after I do that.
I have to wait though, my battery is dead.
Thanks for your help!
No problem. If you didn't format the /system before you flashed CM7, you flashed over the original /system, sometimes it makes no difference, sometimes it messes stuff up. Kinda hit or miss.
Yah normally doing a Factory wipe then a wipe data/cache/dalvik should get her done try rerunning alpharev utility and see what you get
Update: I removed the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip from the SD card and then flashed the patch. Still having the same issues. I tried to run AlphaRevX again and it came back saying something like "You already have S-OFF with AlphaRev. What do you think you're doing?"
Any other suggestions?
First of all i s-offed and cwmed with alpharev.
Then in cwm i wiped phone + cache + dalvik .
Then flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138274
Then after phone boots and so on i restart in cwm again and flashed this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160745
After all i got SU in programs and got root for all my apps.
Try this )
The whole point of this is to have Titanium backup installed so I backup all my apps before I flash a ROM.

Hey brocksdad,
Why not give this a shot as this is what I had to do:
-Alpharevx s-off which you've done
-flashed CWM via fastboot adb which seems like you've done: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134520
-flash this patch which will install superuser, busybox, and rooter kernal in the correct places /system/xbin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134520
-reboot and you should be good to go.
I think you were having the same issues I was in that the SU app would not update the binaries for me, so I had to install the manual patch I found in the development forum.
Let me know if this works for you....
If I wanted to manually put the CWM recovery in there do I just flash OVER what I already have or do I need to remove the recovery that is already installed? If I have to remove it, how do I go about doing that?

You would just reflash over the recovery. I'm hoping you used the recovery that was posted for us and not the one with Rom Manager as that is an older recovery that hasn't been updated for Inc2 support yet.
In any case, it wouldn't hurt to go and do the process over again. You should have fastboot.exe in the same folder as your adb and might as well have the CWM flash .img in that same folder as well to make things easier. once you do that you can flash the SU patch in recovery and you should be good to go.
Update: By the way if you need adb, you can just download the files from the "Temp Root" post in development and download fastboot.exe by searching in google.
I used the recovery that the AlphaRev tool gave me.
I'll give that a try and see how it goes.
Thanks!

Okay then you should be fine. Go ahead and flash that SU zip in recovery mode. Once you reboot, open up superuser and go to settings. Check the SU binary and make sure it says v2.3.2-efgh (eclair, froyo, gb, honeycomb).
If it does then you should be good to go. Also make sure when there are md5 sums provided by the uploads that you check those to make sure they match so that you don't try flashing corrupted downloads. There's a free app in the market for checking the md5 sums right on your phone, it's called AFV (Android File Verifier)
I just looked at the SU information. It says v2.3.6.3. Underneath it says SU binary voutdated. I tried to update and it comes back with an error saying that su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip has been placed on the sd card. Please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update the SU binary.
Hi guys, I made a mistake while playing with Smelkus (Ra-supersonic-v4.3-smelkusMOD).
While in recovery, I went into the Developer Menu and entered on the "Install eng (unguarded) su" option, which after rebooting, disabled root access from my EVO. Now, every time I try to get root access I get a segmentation fault error.
I'm using MazWoz 4.2.1 Jelly Bean B4.
Short of re-flashing the ROM, Is there anything I can do to regain root access? I really got it working the way I want it, so I don't want to wipe everything if I can avoid it.
Thanks! Oh, by the way, I made no back up ...(I know, my mistake).
Have done the same thing trying to get SU to work properly with a rom. Easiest way is just to restore a nandroid backup.
Edit: Sorry, earlier it was in the dev section.

Unfortunately, I did not make a nandroid backup for this ROM (been using it for only 2 days!).
Anyway, here's what I did so far:
1)I "Pushed" the Superuser.apk found on the MozWoz Rom to my EVO using "adb."
And it did not work. The superuser application installed properly on my device because I can launch it fine from the app drawer, but it does not give me root privileges.
Any other suggestions?
There's gotta be a way to solving this. Exactly, what does the "Install eng (unguarded) su" option on Smelkus do anyway? Does anybody know?

Download the ARM zip, flash in recovery. You also need the binary and not just the apk. That's why it still didn't work. If it still fails after this then clean wipe and flash ROM again.

I flashed the ARM zip files with varying results, but none gave me root access.
Anyway, the only way I gained access was to reflash the ROM....
I hope this saves time for any one who's ran into this issue. Nothing but flashing the ROM seemed to work.

Glad that you got it figured out.
Like the.emilio said, there are two parts to the SU. You had just downloaded the apk (the app) but that needs the binary (instructions) to work.
I would have thought that the ARM files would have done this.
At any rate, you're back and working, so that's good news. My advice would be to now go make a nandroid backup. That way as you discover and play with this new rom, if you break something, you can easily return to a known "good" state without too much hassle.

I barely ran the ROM for 2 days before realizing I had not made a backup -lol!
My guess is that Smelkus was intended to be used with GB, so it created ROM root privileges that were different from later version of su? Maybe Smelkus needs to do a kernel check before enabling certain options?
Anyway, it's great to be back. And yes, I made a backup shortly after getting everything to work.

Hmm. I'm running Smelkus in Provision/Jellyvision, which is a JB rom (great rom, by the way and very stable on our Evo). In fact, smelkusmod was recommended by the developer of Provision/Jellyvision as the recovery. It's based on AmonRA, so should be pretty compatible regardless.
Install unguarded su installs some old superuser hack as the su binary. Not sure what it was for, but it had a purpose at some point. The regular "Install or fix su & superuser" choice installs a normal (but quite old) version of the superuser.apk and binary and sets their permissions. Both should be avoided at this late stage of Evo use. I think Diablo updated to SuperSU on his version, but if you need to install Superuser (koush), SuperSU, or SuperUser it would be better to use the latest version of their respective flashable zips.
Recovery is entirely separate from the ROM and kernel you are running, so it doesn't matter if you have Jelly Bean, ICS, GB or even Android at all for that matter. All recoveries - stock, CWM, TWRP, RA, etc - are basically a mini-OS with their own kernel and init. It boots and runs the program, recovery. Recovery then executes built in commands and scripts included with it. When a ROM developer recommends a recovery, they are just promoting what they like. Any recovery can do the job in their own manner.
In your case, after installing that unguarded su, you could have done any of the following steps to recover:
Flashed a current Superuser zip if it was already on your phone
adb pushed one and flashed
Booted up the ROM, downloaded one, go back to recovery and flash
Flashed the ROM and gapps again, wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted
Restored backup if available
Hi guys, please direct me to the correct place if this is not it. I am currently running revolt and I want to flash a new ROM. I had a status 7 error, which I have had before and I fixed that by updating CWM. But here is where I get hung up. I get an error that I thought was related to ROM manager not having the correct permissions. I went to update my supersu and give it the correct permissions, but I decided I wanted to change to Superuser and uninstalled supersu. I have now having an error where I can not download anything from he play store because my memory is full. When I check my memory it does not add up. I have 12gb of space and a I am using roughly 4 gb of that. If anyone knows of a way that I can fix the issue so that I can update my CWM and flash a new ROM it will be greatly appreciated!
Did you have the same error before changing your root managing app? You went from superuser to supersu

That is really confusing. When it says wrong permissions, it won't mean the root managing app has the wrong permissions, it means that the system has wrong permissions somewhere. This cannot be fixed through Supersu or Superuser. If you can still go into recovery, go into advanced, and then 'fix permissions' and that should fix issues if that is what it pertains to.
Because Android it is based off a Linux kernel, it is very picky with the permissions you give it. Too little and it doesn't work. Too much, and it doesn't work.
Let me know how you go.
I don't think I explained this very well in my first post. My issue lies when I try to flash the new version of cwm. I get this screen.
I went into recovery and advanced and I don't have an option that is fix permissions?
So you do have a current working recovery? Okay then advanced>Fix Permissions, at the bottom. If it isn't there, it might be the stock recovery included by Samsung. What is wrong with your current recovery? I can't seem to figure it out sorry.

I am running CMW 6.0.3.7. When I go to advanced all that I see is Reboot recovery, Reboot to bootloader, Power Off, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Report Error, Key Test, Show Log, *******Go back*******.
My recovery works, its just not up to date so when I go to flash a new ROM I get a status 7 error. I have had this issue before and I fixed it by updating my recovery. BUT this time when I go to flash an updated version of CWM I get the screen that I posted above.
the status seven error is usually to do with the updater-script. So make sure the ROM you want to flash is for your device, if it isn't (which may be why you have run into issues) don't flash it. But if you are sure it is, go into the ROM, META-INF>Android>Google>Updater-script (the android and google may be the other way round, it won't take you long to find it) And then open the updater script in a text editing program and remove the first few lines of stuff. It will have the words "assert" "getprop" and looks different to the rest, so just delete that section, and rezip if you have to, and try reflashing. But if that doesn't work and the issues are becoming intrusive, a full reset might be in order.
I have been trying to Google this but am a little confused on all the steps I need to (and don't need to) take at this point, especially since I am a little behind. So I wanted to ask for help on forums, if anyone is willing to give some advice on this.
First of all, I have a Sprint version of the HTC 10. I don't know if that matters or not (I recall back when I was trying to figure out the original Magisk, someone mentioned that a Sprint model HTC 10 could be an issue, but I am not sure why).
Also, so far all I have done in terms of rooting it is:
- Use the HTC Bootloader unlock
- Install TWRP Touch Recovery with the option of not modifying the system partition (From what I understand, this would cause it to be a temporary install that would go away after a reboot, but it seems to have stayed installed)
- Perform backups with TWRP
- Flash the SuperSU zip with TWRP
And... that's it, still on stock ROM and everything, didn't install anything else that depends on root like Xposed or whatever (That wasn't automatically installed by TWRP or SuperSU or something was it?). I am pretty sure root access is working because two of my apps (Titanium Backup and Chase) tried to request it, and I can see those requests in SuperSU, but other apps don't seem to act like I am rooted. Namely, Google Pay.
From what I understand, Google Pay is not supposed to work if you have root due to that SafetyNet API. However, when I start Google Pay, I see no error message or anything, it seems to work. Granted, I haven't added a credit card to it yet, does the error only happen when you try to make a payment or try to add a card or something? Or should I see it on starting the app? Did I somehow inadvertently setup my phone in a way where root is not being detected?
I also seem to be getting conflicting information on how I should install everything. The guide I followed for rooting my phone said to install SuperSU by flashing the zip, not through the app store.... but the guide for Magisk seems to claim to uninstall SuperSU and install phh's Superuser from the app store. Is there a reason I should do this one way, or another?
Also, all the guides for Magisk say that it is heavily recommended that I reset my phone to stock system, and I really can't reset the data on my phone. Can it be done without erasing anything? I am unclear what resetting to "stock system" would do exactly.
It sounds a little too simple: Uninstall SuperSU and install Superuser (though the method I should do it through is not clear), flash Magisk through TWRP, and then flash AutoMagisk through TWRP. I feel like I am definitely forgetting steps. That, and if somehow I am getting past SafetyNet with Android Pay I don't want to mess with something that might break however I managed to pull it off.
Another worry is breaking my cellular radio. I remember that SuperSU for a while did something (or rather, didn't do something with encryption that the HTC 10 needed which resulted in the cellular radio not working once it was flashed, and that for a while there was a special fork of SuperSU for HTC 10 phones to fix this until the main SuperSU app implemented it. I have no idea if Superuser or Magisk also could cause this issue. Does anyone have any idea?
Oh, and finally, my phone is complaining that an update is available, has been complaining for a while, update 1.80.651.6. Can I safely install this OTA update while rooted? Will it remove or break root if I do? And would it be recommended to install it now before I mess with Superuser and Magisk, or after?

Have you tried posting in the dedicated Magisk thread?
Try installing leedroid nightly latest it has magisk available when you install rom
i did not try it, till now. I read something a few weeks ago.
But in the magisk thread the op said something that SuperSu is not the supported SU method? only phh superuser?!
I would ask the question in magisk thread.
Firstly: You ask a lot of semi-related questions, a lot of these are already answered, out there, in the appropriate threads.
Let me systematically try to answer your questions
What you have done:
- Use the HTC Bootloader unlock
- Install TWRP Touch Recovery with the option of not modifying the system partition (From what I understand, this would cause it to be a temporary install that would go away after a reboot, but it seems to have stayed installed)
- Perform backups with TWRP

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When you install the TWRP recovery, you actually install it to the recovery partition of your device.
the option the "not modify system" has nothing to do with installing TWRP, but with installing other mods/roms
It's there so you can make a backup without modifying the system partition, that way you can go back to a working isntall if you do happen to mess something up.
And... that's it, still on stock ROM and everything, didn't install anything else that depends on root like Xposed or whatever (That wasn't automatically installed by TWRP or SuperSU or something was it?). I am pretty sure root access is working because two of my apps (Titanium Backup and Chase) tried to request it, and I can see those requests in SuperSU, but other apps don't seem to act like I am rooted.

SuperSu *should* break safetney and thus should break android pay, as Chainfire says in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/supersu-safetynet-android-pay-t3298115
"In case any SuperSU-rooted device passes SafetyNet, that is a bug in SafetyNet, not a feature of SuperSU."
I also seem to be getting conflicting information on how I should install everything. The guide I followed for rooting my phone said to install SuperSU by flashing the zip, not through the app store.... but the guide for Magisk seems to claim to uninstall SuperSU and install phh's Superuser from the app store. Is there a reason I should do this one way, or another?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installing SuperSu trough TWRP installs the dependencies (the actual root) and the application (which just manages the root access), the magisk guide tells you to first flash the preferred root (SuperSu or SuperUser phh's) trough recovery and then install the correct manager app trough the playstore.
This is probably so John doesn't have to keep on updating his zips everytime the makers of the manager apps update their apps, users can just download the latest version.
Also, all the guides for Magisk say that it is heavily recommended that I reset my phone to stock system, and I really can't reset the data on my phone. Can it be done without erasing anything? I am unclear what resetting to "stock system" would do exactly.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Resetting to stock is important for 2 reasons:
1. it cleans out all "old" root apps and methods
2. it cleans up a patched boot.img (kernel)
Then again, if you haven't flashed any other mods, you would probably be safe to install magisk on your rom.
One important thing everyone will always tell you: make a backup! (make a nandroid)
To do this, boot to TWRP and choose "backup" make sure to select: Boot, System and Data
It sounds a little too simple: Uninstall SuperSU and install Superuser (though the method I should do it through is not clear), flash Magisk through TWRP, and then flash AutoMagisk through TWRP. I feel like I am definitely forgetting steps. That, and if somehow I am getting past SafetyNet with Android Pay I don't want to mess with something that might break however I managed to pull it off.

The proper steps would be:
0. Make a nandroid backup in TWRP!!
1. Open SuperSU and choose to completly unroot (somewhere near the bottom of the settings menu)
2. Boot to TWRP and flash Magisk
3. Flash the phhh superuser zip file (from the magisk thread)
4. boot android and install the superuser app from the playstore
5. boot twrp and install AutoMagisk
That's it!
Another worry is breaking my cellular radio. I remember that SuperSU for a while did something (or rather, didn't do something with encryption that the HTC 10 needed which resulted in the cellular radio not working once it was flashed, and that for a while there was a special fork of SuperSU for HTC 10 phones to fix this until the main SuperSU app implemented it.

I allmost enver use official OTA's so I can't say for certain buttttt as you used SuperSU, the root should be systemless so it should accept OTA updates..
What I would do:
1. make a nandroid
2. install OTA
3. See if everything works as expected
4. restore backup if something doesnt work properly =D
I would install the OTA before trying Magisk
Thank you, that was very helpful. I did try Googling all this, but couldn't find clear answers, which is why I am asking here.
And yes, I am definitely going to make a backup before messing with it. Is there any reason to make a Titanium backup too, or will the nandroid one be enough?
As for removing SuperSU, what would that system/boot stock reset delete? Would it delete any installed applications or application settings? Or undo updates to pre-installed system apps? Or reinstall apps that came with the phone that I uninstalled?
Got it working, thanks. (Though, AutoMagisk seems to only be available as an APK, not as a zip that can be installed from TWRP).
Seems like a few configuration settings got wiped due to the system partition being reset, but other than that most of my data seems perfectly intact.
I have rooted firetv 1 with latest rBox pre-rooted ROM. I have noticed if I put the box in sleep mod for a while, it will change to TWRP recovery screen when wake it up. I have to reboot it every time in order to back to normal. Anyone has the same problem?

Most folks that have had this problem is because they did not block updates properly. And you have an update in the hopper. And TWRP being your last line of defense is blocking the installation of that update since it is not a PreRooted ROM. So each time your device is idle it tries to install the update. And TWRP stops it at reboot.
Luckily there are solutions.
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-stop...rom-installing-on-a-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick/
And at the very least do Method 1. But both Method 1 & Method 5 are what is recommended to stop this from happening in the future.

If you are able to still go into TWRP. I would try to flash the latest PreRooted ROM using a USB Stick. Also make sure you include a MD5 for safety. DO NOT WIPE anything but Dalvik Cache & Cache. See if that restores your PreRooted FW back to normal. This is just a guess since it has never happened to me before.
Maybe someone with this problem the fixed things can chime in. Others that this has had happened to did not have access to TWRP.

Maybe someone with this problem the fixed things can chime in. Others that this has had happened to did not have access to TWRP.

I tried to install superuser apk , but failed. Since I still have access to TWRP, I installed with flashable superuser. Then I cleared OTA and blocked the updates again with your suggestion. I did Method 1 before, but forgot to do it again after update. Thank you very much!!!

np, glad it is back to normal.
Method 1 helps when you flash a new PreRooted ROM. And Method 5 helps to make sure your FW version is never low enough to think an update would apply to your device. Method 5 needs to be redone when ever you flash a ROM. And Method 1 must be redone when ever you factory reset thru TWRP or clean more then the Dalvik Cache & Cache thru TWRP. NEVER do a factory reset from FireOS 5. Only use TWRP for that.
Forgot to add. NEVER INCLUDE SYSTEM IN ANY OF YOUR WIPES. Flashing a PreRooted ROM will take care of System. So leave it alone. Most bricks happen because folks wipe SYSTEM & they do not Flash a PreRooted ROM before doing a reboot.
