Hi,
I'm using CM 7.03 on my Legend and it was working really good.
However yesterday i was stupid enough to install an update of superuser.
After this update root access was still functioning but i was getting a "su binary is outdated" message.
So i tried to update this,but the update failed.
So i went into rom manager,downloaded Super User 3 and flashed it,i shouldn't have done this.
After phone booted my root access was gone,and whenever a program asked root access it showed a forced close window of the su app.
My question now is....can i fix this without reflashing the device.
Keep in mind that rom manager isn't working and i can't boot into clockworkmod.
I also tried softrooting in order to gain access to the file system but this also failed.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!
Edit: Just a brainfart,but would it work if i copied the correct superuser version to my goldcard,rename it to update.zip and flash it?
try to update to the latest superuser..
btw.. you are on which cm7?
before this.. im on cm nightly 195.. got some error when updating superuser binary..
but now im on latest cm nightly with updated superuser from market.. successful update the binary through the superuser setting interface..
i had the same problem & was able to fix it after the same steps you've taken by installing the superuser.apk from the flashing-.zip file again. there have been updates of superuser application in the market since, maybe they will fix the problem too...
Rom Manager has the superuser 2.x,too.You can download it and reboot into recovery, flash the bag( at /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/goo-inside.me/superuser/(THE SU YOU WANT TO FLASH).ZIP
Flash it and the root access will back~
ps.It seems cm 7 haven't supported su3.0....About 1 month ago, I flashed the su 3.0 and it always told me access deny...Finally I have to flash the su 2.x back...
About the recovery,you can plug the phone to computer and in recovery mode(HAVE A RED ALERT TRIANGLE), run the recovery-windows.bat( it is in the r3(or 4)-legend-root.zip), and you can flash anything you want.The HTC raw recovery( with only 4 items)cannot flash the su package even with the goldcard....

Hi,
thanks for the advice.
I'm gonna try to reflash the correct superuser.zip,that's how i wrecked it in the first place.
Also i didn't know it was impossible to do this with the raw HTC recovery so i will use the suggested batch file.
Thanks a lot guys,i'll come back and post my results.
My fix
Had the same problem on a nightly.
I did just download su-3.0.2-efgh-signed.zip from superuser website and flashed it and then it worked fine after that.
[SOLVED] CM7 lost root access after su update
Well,it isn't going like it should.
I just can't get into recovery.
I'm trying in VMware,running Windows XP (it never worked before on Win 7 x64),i've installed the correct version of HTC sync but when i run recovery-windows.bat (from hack4legend) i just keep getting errors...
failed to copy files etc/mtab.... (file system read only)
--install: applet not found.
nohup: appending....
Can't figure out what i'm doing wrong,it look like it needs root access but that's what i'm trying to fix.
Help?
Edit: Whoops,forgot about the red triangle...i can get into recovery now.
Edit2: Just flashed the correct su.zip and root access is restored!!!
Thanks a million guys!!!!!!
Sorry...but are there any screenshots?
Edit :errr...yes,you must get into the red triangle screen....
Glad to help~

I'm running CM7.1 on my ZTE Blade and yesterday i've tried to update both superuser and su (since new versions have been released). The su update failed and now when i try to check the su version it says "Legacy"
If i try to update, the phone stucks at "Getting root privileges" both on Superuser and Superuser Fixer
What should i do?
I've got the same problem on my Xperia X8 with the stock rom, it seems that the problem is that the updating progress fails at a point where the old binary has already been removed, but the new one hasn't been placed yet, leaving you with a non-rooted phone.
Seeing how I've never tried doing some real programming for Android I wouldn't know how to get the new binary in.
I've tried installing an update.zip containing both the full SU with .apk and a version with only the binary, but to no avail.
Trying to reroot my phone using SuperOneClick results in SOC freezing (might be a problem with windows 7, as I have upgraded recently).
If anyone knows a way to fix this issue, I'd be very grateful.
For now I've fixed my problem reflashing the old su and superuser from cwm. You can grab them from downloads.androidsu. com/superuser

This is the right way to fix it.
So I just download an old version from there and install it using xRecovery?
The binary just being update hour ago. Try to update again.

Yes, or any other recovery.
alright, how bad did I screw up here? Got the OTA notification last night, read nothing but good things and most keeping root through the process. I missed an important detail of using the OTA rootkeeper. So I'm currently on the latest update and lost root. I've tried one click 1.1 to no avail so far. I am unlocked and was rooted prior, but never got around to installing a recovery (hadn't found a ROM I was quite happy with enough to lose all my data just yet)
So.. all that said, is there a root option for the latest OTA yet?

Yes, all you need to do is flash Amon Ra through fastboot and reboot to recovery .. under the developer menu option on Amon Ra you have the option to install SU and superuser . Just run that and reboot you would have to unlock of course to install Amon Ra
Looks like I'm installing AmonRa today. Thanks!!!! I'm from a moto world where CWM and SPR are all we had.. the feature to install SU binary from recovery is new to me haha

Odd, do you have the superuser app in your app drawer ? Otherwise , I heard to download it from the market and it will work .
I did it this way and I read about it from others that did it this was as well.
I need some help, please - I may have made a very bad assumption here...
I just got my Rezound today (upgrading from a Thunderbolt). I saw the stickied thread about how (relatively) easy it was to perm-root the phone after the bootloader was unlocked, and I assumed that this all still applied after getting the OTA update (not realizing that the OTA update was JUST released - my assumption was that it was older and already dealt with).
So I got the OTA first thing after activating the phone, THEN unlocked the bootloader, THEN tried to root via One Click - I tried both OneClickRoot_1.1 and Super OneClick 2.3.3.0, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I'm getting "Permission denied" errors on mounts and "read-only file system" errors for CHMods and file copies during the Zerg Rush process. It says "Congrats you are now perm rooted", but it doesn't seem to be true - I was able to install SuperUser from the market, but the BusyBox installer says it can't find the su binaries, so I'm not convinced SuperUser is actually working.
Considering that I never had root access to the phone prior to installing the OTA, is there anything I do besides waiting for one or more of the root tools to be updated to deal with the new OTA?

yeah, I have superuser installed. Nothing is getting SU access and as the above guy posted, all of the zergrush methods are completely failing. there is a rooted stock OTA ROM.. seriously debating that route now... =/

I would try the rooted stock rom, but just not sure why it didn't work for you . I did all the steps you did and I was rerooted afterwards. Are you getting the pop up for superuser when an app asks for permission ? Sorry, was trying to be helpful
got it.. had to attempt the SU install twice.. also reboot DIRECTLY from recovery, do NOT reboot back to bootloader. I think that's what killed it for me. And yes in the end I did have to install the superuser app from the market to get it working again.

I'm having a serious issue here - for unknown reasons (I have NOT installed any ROMS or ANY non-OTA updates whatsoever), my Rezound is no longer able to connect to Verizon's network, for data or voice (it just says "no service"; WiFi works fine). As I said in my previous post on the previous page, I just got the phone today, and was trying to use OneClick to root my phone, but it isn't working because of the OTA update, and at some point I think the radio got screwed up.
So my intended remedy was to download the rooted stock rom and install that, but, naturally, it doesn't pass signature verification on the stock recovery. So I tried to follow another set of instructions to get AmonRa recovery installed, but the bootloader keeps rejecting the PH98IMG.zip file, telling me (depending on which one I try to use) that there's "no image or wrong image" or "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". Furthermore, I tried to extract the PH98IMG.zip file from the rooted stock rom file that I downloaded from the link on this site, but that zip file is corrupted (it won't open on my PC, even after I re-downloaded the rom).
Can someone help me figure out how to get AmonRa installed? From there, I can hopefully get the rooted stock rom installed. OR, at the very least, help me run a radio update so the phone will at least work until an easier root method becomes available?
Thanks.

I got the rooted ota rom installed easily, and better yet, the root worked perfectly. The problem is, I still can't connect to any wireless networks (aside from wifi).
I used the tool linked in the previous response to flash a boot.img I got out of this thread (specifically, the stock 2.01.605.11 w/ 1/26 OTA), but still nothing.
Any thoughts?

back. After reboot, I installed superuser from market, then updated the binary.
Titanium Backup now works and I can confirm regaining root after the OTA update. To protect myself from this in the future, I have installed OTA RootKeeper. OTA RootKeeper has been confirmed to backup superuser and is a simple way of restoring superuser after an OTA.
I did not have to backup anything on the internal sdcard, as I did not lose any data through this process, but it never hurts to do it, just in case. I am running the stock Rom, and unlocked through HTC-dev.
Thanks to con247 and andybones for pointing me in the right direction.
I am not responsible for any issues with your phone, so proceed at your own risk.

Boot into recovery, go to developer menu and select install su, then reboot and install superuser from the market. You will then be perm rooted.
I tried this on the new Unofficial Offical release and it did not work for me. I can't use adb due to restrictions on my computer so I am trying to figure out a way to do it through recovery. I tried Amon 3.14 but that did not work for me it installed SuperUser but does not give me root access. Anyone have any ideas ???? Thanks in advance for your help.

your welcome ! I didn't have to install SU from market for some reason, but glad it worked out !
So I used the rooting guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996389 and found a different superuser/busybox package to use. (don't remember the link right now).
However, whenever I open SuperSU to try to update it, it says installation failed or just reboots. And if I try to use root things for AdFree, it can't find the partition or just restarts.
Is anyone else having this problem or is there a different SU package I should use? My bootloader IS unlocked.

Ive been using ViperDNA which comes with what seems like a custom SuperUser type of all in it.
But when I origionally rooted my phone, i seem to remember having an issue with SuperSU, and the first time i rooted i said screw it and just installed Superuser without any problems. The second time i rooted, i Installed SuperSU, then had to download Superuser form the Android Market, to update the binary, which updated it for SuperSU, and that solved my problem.
When you try to open an app that needs to use root access, do you get the notification asking for permission?
perhaps the "other" superSU/busybox package that you used didn't properly do what it needed to do?
I see the link on that tutorial is broken, fortunately i have the file that i originally downloaded form that very same tutorial saved to my hard drive, and now uploaded to DropBox if you would like to download it and try flashing this zip while in recovery to see if it gives you a proper root.
I would recommend downloading the above file, and flashing that to see if it helps. I'll try to remember to check back here to see if you posted anything in reply, but let me know if it doesn't work. Ill try to help as much as I can

I installed your package, and get the same errors before in SuperSU. It wants to upgrade but then force restarts whilst trying.
I then tried the Superuser app by Chainsdd, and I make a little progress?
First, when I try to upgrade, it asks for root from SuperSU and Superuser. Since SuperSU came with the busybox package, I can't uninstall it.
When I first go to the updater, it shows me this: (See attachment 1, I can't do links :S)
After I upgrade it, I am left with this screen: (see attachment 2)
It looks like it reverts back to su v .98 from 1.02?
Either way, as soon as I hit lets do it again, the phone restarts. Did I screw up the unlock/root somehow? In the top left of my fastboot screen it shows ***TAMPERED*** and ***UNLOCKED***
I am using CWM 6.0.2.1

It's difficult for me to troubleshoot when i haven't had to fix this problem since december haha.
The tampered, and unlocked is standard that is what it shows for everyone who unlocked the boot-loader.
So let me get this straight,
Do me a favor, un-install Superuser, download RootChecker from the market by JoeyKrim, And run it, what does it say?
->When you run it, did it ask for permission from SuperSU?
With just the SuperSU installed, if you run a program that requires root permission (For example, RootChecker), Nothing shows up asking if you want to Allow/Deny?
->When you open SuperSU to update the binary, it fails to update and restarts the APP?
With the SuperSU/BusyBox package flashed, when you install Superuser from the android market and try to update the binary, it *appears* to revert back to an older version of the binary?
-> After updating the binary through Superuser (despite the appparent reversion), if you un-install Superuser, and try to run RootChecker, does it work?
Sorry, i know it is a lot and i'm not much help, i'm troubleshooting blindly and from a distance haha.

you need to install a kernel with /system writing enabled. Such as lk's or cubed
htc has a line wrong in their code and it makes it so that /system cant be edited while booted into android, only while in recovery. Installing a kernel that fixed this bug will let you use supersu from the play store and other apps such as adfree which need to edit system files to function

Quite a few of us running a version of Supercharged Hatka had problems when they switched to SuperSu,but now they switched back to SuperUser and the problem hasn't reared its head.
Hello, is there any way to remove su and root access with out a nandroid backup? I made the mistake of creating a back up after I had already installed SU so i have no stock nandroid to restore. Ive tried hunting down the .apk file and deleting it but when i reboot my phone, SU is right back in the app menu. Please dont just link the stock tmo nandroid thats floating around, if i could use that i would have. Its software number is 1.29.xxx.x and tmobile usa is only on 1.27.531.7(1.27.531.8 after OTA) Any help will be much appreciated. If anyone has a stock nandroid for 1.27.531.7 please share:fingers-crossed:

I'M in the same boat, I did a before root and after root, my pc crashed, I had power failure in the house, lost my power supply and 1.5tb harddrive
You can delete the su file, that basically makes not root.
The su file resides in system/xbin
The app is in system/app ex. Supersu or superuser
You can still get into recovery .
The reason because the su comes back up is because you have the stock kernel without rw access. Get a custom kernel and flash it, delete the su, then flash the stock kernel again. Team nocturnal has a link up for stock 1.27 kernel

After you flash it, do a factory reset and flash a custom kernel (should be easy to find, i just searched for kernel under the t mo htc one development thread) Then download a file explorer and grant it root access. Delete the Superuser APK and reboot. After that flash the stock kernel and you should be all set. I was even able to run the OTA update after flashing the stock recovery and re-locking the boot loader. Hope this helps you out!

I downloaded that already... I just wanted a full stock,
that was missing some files, its not full stock. I can use the Team Nocturnal, it is more stock, but I would never run the OTA, it updates your hboot, and gives u more problems later, I like to use stock roms..
Thanks for your help, I appreciate that.
