karandpr,

Your method works perfectly - until I turn off my mobile. Every time I turn it on, it needs to be rooted again.

Is this the expected behaviour? Is there any workaround for this problem?


Thanx.

This is definitely not expected behavior .I really have no idea :( .It's actually a long time since I actually have a stock ROM in my phone .I will try to find the problem :) .No guarantee though :)

How about this one ??
I have signed it and tested it .
