Hello all,
I rooted my HTC XL few days ago, It work fine. And then, i updated the software version yesterdays. After that my XL still have superuser icon but can't use the permission of superuser, i tried to root it again many times but it still don't work
Please help
Can you give us a little more detail? walk us through the steps you have taken and what ROM your using etc? it might be that you spot your error and fix it yourself or we are able to point you in the right direction?
additionally have you tried flashing a different ROM?
It may be some stupid question but what is rom?? I just use DooMLoRD_v2_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su that i found on the website and it succeed. Sorry if i can't explain clearly
Have you gone through the steps outlined in this post;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341127
If so you will need to follow this;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18947861&postcount=3
to get your phone rooted properly, and install a custom ROM (easiest being http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327964 ) then you will have a fully working rooted phone with full superuser access
4.After root is complete pls visit market and update SU app. once done root will be fully functional and eliminate any future FCs
5. Also as an extra tip you can install SU UPDATE fixer from market to update your binaries to 3.0
I don't understand step 4 and 5. can you explain for me? what is SU app?
SU is SuperUser, try to imagine your phone like a PC, it has an 'Administrator' and a 'user'
You are the 'user'
SuperUser(SU) is kinda the 'Administrator'
SuperUser access allows 'You' to act as the 'Administrator' of your phone
so once you get to step 4 go into Market and search for 'SU App' and it should be there, free as always.. install it and then try to go into it from your phone. It might pop up saying (SuperUser Requires SU Access allow or deny) just allow it and see if it will load, if it does then you should get a screen like this;

}
(only TitaniumBackup wont show there it should be empty for now)
look in the android market for an application called SuperUser by a dev named Chainsdd.
It is what allows the applications root access once you have rooted the phone. It needs to be updated.
SU Update fixer is also an app in the market, which helps to keep other files used in root up to date.
i go to step 5 by using SU Update Fixer but it said: Fix failed. Try downloading and flash ing an update.zip from androidsu.com
What should i do?
get the update.zip from them and flash it using ClockWorkMod Recovery
link -> http://androidsu.com/su-update-fixer/
if you have the recovery installed just do the usual (Vol - & Power) trick to get you into your Bootloader and from there select recovery
if you dont have the recovery installed follow this;

i had this problem before. turned out i need to re-lock my bootloader and then unlock it again to perform the root

Hi, Can someone please dump/backup the system.img from baltic P500 or have a offical update for baltics. Thanks
Just do a backup and upload it. Thanks
No one here from Baltic States?
Hey, just show me how to do it, and I will give you.
hi, please use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8917870&postcount=12
or if you have Thunderg installed, then just do a backup and upload these files.
thanks
Hmm, could you be more specific? I just bought this Optimus One like two days ago, and I'm feeling very newb (it's my first Android).
What do I have to do, to give you that system.img and what is that system.img file?
Hi, the system.img a backup from Android /system partition is a main part of the android. But this guide we just dump that /system partition, it's the easiest way.
I'll try to help you do that:
1. Is your phone rooted?
If you haven't done that, then use Z4Root(super easy app ) and you can get it from here: http://www.upload.ee/files/997919/z4root.1.3.0.apk.html
Download that file and copy to sd card and install.
Open that installed app and root your phone
If you need help with that, then there is little how to here: http://www.worldofnubcraft.com/285/rooting-a-lg-optimus-one-android-phone
2. OK, rooting done, now we need terminal app: You'll find that from Market. Just search "Android Terminal Emulator" it's from Jack Palevich and install that.
3. Now open the Terminal Emulator and enter these commands without "" and hit enter after command, these 3 command should be it:
"su" it asks for a root privileges and you allow that
"cd /system"
"tar zcvf /sdcard/system-dump.tar.gz *" and wait when it finishes. it takes some time. It's done when you see #, it takes couple of minutes max.
4. That file is now on your phone SD card and upload that system-dump.tar.gz file to somewhere and let me know
Are you sure about that?
I'm sorry, but it's not working. It gives me an error "tar not found". Any ideas?

By the way, what you can do with that file? What it contains? I'm just a newb, and I want to know everything about Android.
EDIT:
Is it possible to do that dump with Thunderg?
Go to market and install app called "BusyBox" and download / install BusyBox with this tool. After that it will work.
yes, i forgot busybox install that and give a new try
Ok guys, I got it. Before putting it live, I would like to know one thing. Does it contains any personal data, if so, what exactly? Sorry, for being so paranoid.
hi, it won't contain any of your personal data. Personal data is stored mostly on /Data partition and we didn't dump that. Thanks
Ok, so here you have it.
Optimus_One_Baltic_ROM_dump.zip - 89.2 Mb
And it's only contains branded ROM with no changes? That's great. What program do I need to restore my ROM to the branded one, if I'm going later to change it?
i think you should look to Thunderg... it's best way to make a full backup and restore after
I have to mod some files in /sbin without root before i can root my phone, since it's currently only booting to cwm without working 'adb root', and since it has got at least one corrupt filesystem.
I've tried searching the mounted filesystems of factoryfs.rfs etc, but without success. Where is it?
Would it be possible to update a non-/system directory through an update.zip file? As said, I currently do not have root.
What exactly are you looking for?
I don't really understand your problem.
What ROM are you on right now.
How come you have CWM but not root?
This should it i hope

"What ROM are you on right now.
How come you have CWM but not root?"
I'm currently using XXJP3 without the /media and /app directories(I mounted the factoryfs.rfs on my computer and moved them elsewhere.)
adb root has worked for me earlier, but suddenly, it stopped. Instead i get the
error: device not found
error when issuing adb shell after adb root.
The problem is, I cannot install root or anything else yet because my /system(stl9) partition does not act the way it should.
No factoryfs containing /media and /app can be flashed. I've tried the --repartition flag(with correct .pit-file.)
To work around it, I'm trying to edit a script, located in /sbin, to be run at boot. The script will hopefully allow me to fix the partition with root privileges. In either case, it will be able to write the output to a log file to be read through $-adb shell.
The /sbin boot script would also allow me to use the external sd instead of the internal memory in case the stl9 partition somehow cannot be fixed.
As rooting is no option yet, I need to flash the /sbin directory, but since I can't find it in the rom, I need your help here.
When I flash back to stock, of course the new updated market works. At one point I kept the stock and flashed a new kernal after updating to the current 2.2 and still the new market worked. As soon as I flash a custom ROM such as Serendipity, Fasty, Cognition, or another the market all of a sudden does not work. When I mean does not work, I only mean in the instance that it will not download large apps. I have read on flashable zips, adb shell commands, and other methods such as removing the battery but still none of this works. Is there any way to fix this problem without reverting to the old market??
It's cache size related bug, the problem here is that manufacturers put a cache partition on their devices that is smaller than googles maximum allowed app size for the market, 50MB (which was updated this year from 30mb). Reverting back to the old market will fix that issue and what I'd recommend you is to freeze MarketUpdater in TiBu (titanium backup app) so that it won't allow it to update itself back to the new market.
In case u want to use the new market, u'll have to apply the fix made by corgar - iXNyNe ,but it requires a kernel with init.d script support. If u wanna try it out here's the script, download and extract the file and then copy it in system/etc/init.d folder with a root explorer and modify the permissions of the script to 7-5-5. To do that go to system/etc/init.d folder ,mount r/w (if ur using root explorer) and long press on S95change_cache file, select permissions and make it look like in the pic below and then reboot ur phone in recovery and wipe cache ,dalvik cache and restart ur phone.

If all went well (u should have a cache.img file under dbdata of 54+ mb) u now can download all the apps from the new market, if it didn't then try with 7-7-7 permissions (like in the pic above only everything checked)
There are other methods , here's a post from Kyuta Syuko that sums it all up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17850944&postcount=9050
Have u tried stopping the market and clearing all data in the all apps menu?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
He can try that too, but that's useful when ALL downloads aren't starting/apps aren't updating. But the 30mb+ download issue ,insufficient space error, is cache related.
I can confirm (and others did as well) that the script works.
Thanks for the help but I did search like I posted. None of the options worked. But I did figure out a way around it. Just disable the VooDoo Lagfix and system lagfix. Download perfectly afterwards. Defintely beats reverting to older markets and the methods described. Although this worked for me, hopefully someone will find luck with the methods you all posted. But yeah I tried everything besides reverting to the market and enabling a script change. That was going to be my last option.
Good to hear u managed to get it work, btw could u pls check if Third Blade downloads without an error. Thx

easiest way.. download a terminal emulator app, open it, then type in su(press enter). if it then shows a #, then you have root.

no root. did you flash supersu? do you have the supersu app installed? btw, just so that you know, su means superuser, which means root.
No I have not ever installed such things. Just once, I accidentally deleted some photos and I would like to recover them back and I used a freeware programme at my windows PC which gave me temporary root access, but I was unable to recover them and I cancelled the whole process. And therefore, I didn't know if I was rooted or not.
The problem is that I can not install the latest security patch/fix and I assumed I was rooted....

The program may have modified your system files. Once modified the OTA won't run. Would have to reflash stock.
If I just perform a factory reset?

Won't fix it if system files have been modified. Factory reset only clears cache and data. Does not touch system files. Have to fastboot flash the factory system image file.
