[Q] Help with Bell Atrix - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I have a bell atrix which was rooted before an ota update. After the update it was still rooted but did not have root capabilities. I ran root checker and it said I did not have the su binary file. I still had busy box and superuser apk. I now flashed it to the telstra sbf. I tried rooting it and i still cannot achieve a root. All I get is busy box and the apk but no su binary file. I tried every rooting solution even manually rooting the device. It can't even attain a temporary root. If anyone could help me I would be very happy.

Hi,
The binaries in /system/bin are reset with regard to ownership and permissions after the update. The su binary is still there but it is not 06755. Check if you have frozenfish in /osh/sbin/ and use that, or you can try using gingerbreak.
Cheers!

Sorry im kinda new but whats the frozenfish file name

How do I get root after software update

Hey guys I stupidly applied the software update yesterday and lost root. Is there a way to get it back now?

just re run the current root methods a couple of ppl said they had to run it twice to get it to work

If you had root before, the su and busybox files are still there - they just don't have the proper permissions. I'm sure there are a few ways to do this, but the manual way would be to run the rage*.bin exploit to temporarily get in as root and change the permissions on the su and busybox files to 4755.
Thanks I will try when I get home tonight

[Need help] latest superuser app killed root access

on cmd it says permission denied.
can anyone tell me how to get the root access back..
same thing happened to me....had to reflash whole rom.
try downloading old update install and overwrite new one.....
Go to Recovery and use Fix Permissions, then it should work again

no fixing permissions did not worked. hav to flash the rom again as my data/wifi is also not working now (wifi gets connected but internet doesnt work)
all this happened due to this ****ty superuser update...
I fixed it yesterday, downloading the SuperOneClick 1.9.5 (NOT the lastest one) and Unrooting, then Rooting again (Choose GingerBreak as root method). Should work fine for you too. There will be two SuperUser apps, but just reboot and then will be only one.
Remember to NOT update SuperUser or at least don't update the binaries, because they have problems.
you can update binary but not the app....
Apparently, the maker of Superuser thinks he compiled the binary for ARMv7 (not on purpose)...
I saw there's a new binary now (3.0.2). I will try it out and see if it works now.

Confirmed! It's fine with the latest binary.
In case you haven't seen: http://androidsu.com/2011/10/i-updated-to-3-0-1-binary-and-lost-root-help/
---
After rooting updated the binary OK (giving root permission to the app itself). But after a factory reset, no app can get (or prompt for) root permission.
So, not working...
why you flash rom over again
if you flash this file through recovery you will get your root acces back
Same thing happened with me. I restored the nand
back up .
that helped me.

I rerooted my phone like I first did, superoneclick and stuff, solved it, but don't udpdate binary!!!

It happened to me also. I got Root back, but now I'm afraid to update the Superuser app.
Mine is okay.

The guy (ChainsDD) explained on his webpage what's happening. Visit it both if you are simply curious or in need of a fix because you lost root access.
This bug hits me ! I have to restore my nand! Beware! don't know the latest app in the market is fixed, I'm afraid to update now my superuser app.
edit : i read the explanation there. Thanks chainsdd

i had that problem 2 and i uninstalled the last update and now everything is ok !
I had the same issue when I tried to update the binary to 3.0.1. I chose to flash an updated ROM, then update the app and binary, and everything is running fine now. App = 3.0.6; Binary = 3.0.3

Still rooted after the recent system update? (verizon)

Hi
I checked my razr in the morning and there was an update available. So I clicked yes. The phone rebooted with no error. But now when I open titanium backup it says that I need root access. Did updating my phone get rid of my rooted access? I opened superuser and there was no message saying I need root access. Should I reroot my phone? If I do should I unroot first and root it again?
Yep, updates will usually break root access. You can re-root with the new motofail exploit. In future, check out an app called OTA Rootkeeper to save you the trouble.

Any luck yet?
Same thing happen to me. Just got the Razr Maxx yesterday and rooted as soon as I got home. Woke up, phone updated and broke root. Tried re-rooting but not successful. Guess I need another root tool. Let me know if you have any luck.
Thanks my dude.

.210 ICS Will not Root HELP

I went from .181 and jumped to .210 ICS. I used rootkeeper and tried to restore the root. I already had the superuser.apk installed and when i used rootkeeper it said root was restored, but when i use root apps it does not work and the rootkeeper also tells me i do not have root access.
WHAT GIVES?
Sorry I can be more help. Did you uninstall super user and re load? I know there is a manual ADB push method that I used but you would have to use the search.
i tried uninstalling it and it wont let me

Hmmm. It is probably installed as a system app. Maybe you didn't update su binary before root backup? Try temp unroot and root with RAZR utility.
