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After this update root access was still functioning but i was getting a "su binary is outdated" message.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~

Im trying just this. But where did you find that su.zip???
edit: ****ing YES! I did flash the: su-3.0.2-efgh-signed.zip and now i have rooot. thanks. im out
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

for amon ra it was like amon-ra-3.13.gnm.img or something its the name of the file you downloaded just don't forget to add the .img at the end.
no luck. Got amon ra and ran the command to install su and superuser.. still no root access afterwards =/

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.

Great ! I couldn't remember how I rebooted ! Sorry for making you do it so many times .

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.

Did you try flashing in fastboot? Download Amon Ra v3.13 and then use this command in fastboot:
Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Make sure fastboot is off, usb debugging is on

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?

It is now. I discovered that wonderful "feature" about 30 seconds before your reply showed up. Works perfectly, of course, though I'd been going nuts for *checks* 6 hours.

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.
I was given a Legend today and found that I could have it rooted in 3 easy steps.
1. Use HTCdev to unlock bootloader.
2. Install CWM 5.0.2.8 recovery.
3. Install superuser zip via CWM.
That's it, I ve superuser permission for all the rooted apks and confirm thru terminal emulator that I ve the $ change to #.
So you didn't use tools like HTCSuperTool v3 or Unrevoked?

I put the recovery img in the same folder as the token and i used fastboot to push recovery img. It works and right after i flash superuser 3.0.7 efghi signed zip.
I am now enjoying Rom Devil 2.3.7, setcpu 760/312MHz, no lag and bootloop. Only apk on phone memory are google play and setcpu all others on sd which i did ext3 partition. I ve 175mb free. Good browsing speed, Flash 11 works and battery life good.Enjoying it
I underestimated this phone when !st saw it, must say its easier to carry around than my DHD albeit a smaller version. Good phone, tho 2 yrs plus. I think i can used it for quite a while as my friend hardly use it since he got it new.

What recovery are you using? If you're on Amon Ra you should be able to gain root using that in the developer section > install su & superuser.
If that doesn't work, try flashing Super SU.

It kept my super su so thats still there (not super user) would i need to still flash it? if so how because I don't have root and I'm pretty sure i used amon ra but not a hundred percent and how could I get back to it to enable root if I over looked it I may have because I looked over the options fairly quick and trusted it was gonna set me up with everything i needed, as far as i can tell I'm pretty locked out of my phone thanks for quick reply
Can you boot into recovery or navigate there from the bootloader? I know that sometimes people have sort of lost root when they've done something (can't remember exact circumstance any more) and they've just had to go into recovery and reinstall super user or super su.

yes I actually just checked that I have clockworkmod recovery v6.0.2.3 :good: but i did delete the original rom I downloaded after flashing stupid me and I can't get it back through rom manager cuz it tells me to flash there clockwork mod and it cant before I can get to the download do i need the same file or...?
I'm not familiar with CWM, but I would think you can flash a zip file using that? If so I would download this Super SU to your external sd and flash that.
http://download.chainfire.eu/212/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip
---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------
Also, it used to be that CWM didn't play nice with the Rezound. I think it ended up getting fixed, but most people stick to Amon Ra or TWRP. If you can't flash the zip through CWM try flashing Amon Ra and doing it with that.
I actually clicked reboot phone from my clockwork I had installed and it prompted me saying root was lost fix or reboot device so I clicked fix and I have root thanks so much for your help I wish I could of flashed supersu to see if that worked for any one with a similar problem because i didnt see any other threads with this problem but they can try it I'm back thanks again :laugh:
Glad to hear it. Enjoy!
