Root Rooted: s-off but superuser and rom manager aren't recognizing root

[wascapsfan]

I just rooted my phone and it was successful. I downloaded superuser and rom manager but both of them say an error has occured while trying to attemp run privelage commands. Rom manager says you must root your phone for rom manager to function superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su or"/system/xbin/su". Use google search tofind rooting instructions.
Since I have root s-off

Help please!!

Have you tried rebooting your phone? Mine did the same thing until I rebooted.

 

[AllyWonders]

Install BusyBox and yes reboot phone after installing superuser

 

[wascapsfan]

Yes. Several times. I uninstalled both a few times also.
I can't see what the issue is

 

[wascapsfan]

Install BusyBox and yes reboot phone after installing superuser

I keep trying but it wont allow me to

 

[AllyWonders]

you didnt flash the PG05IMG.zip right ... i think you got the worng PG05IMG... make sure you flash the custom PG05IMG.zip not the Downgrade one.. It happend to me.. and that solve it..

How is it possible for me to achieve s-off if I downloaded it wrong?

I would repeat the following steps:

Push SU, busybox, and psneuter.
adb push psneuter /data/local/
adb push busybox /data/local/
adb push su /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox
To gain root:
adb shell
/data/local/psneuter
The following will remount /system and set up SU:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
/data/local/busybox cp /data/local/su /system/xbin/su
chown 0:0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

Then install Superuser from the market and reboot phone.

Still get the same messages although I AM s-off. I'm confused

Have you tried installing Titanium Backup and click problems to flash busybox?

 

[wascapsfan]

Have you tried installing Titanium Backup and click problems to flash busybox?

Yes...It says it can't acquire root

This is crazy.... I would understand if I was S-ON...but it definitely is S-OFF.

 

[Papadroid]

OK Titanium backup says it can't acquire root but did you then click problems and Get BusyBox? Just want to make sure you did that step.

yes. a couple of times

 

[wascapsfan]

This is ridiculous.

What could be corrupt?

 

[Papadroid]

Ok, redownload the package with busybox, wpthis, psneuter, and su from the thread you used to root from. Something has to be wrong with one of those files. Then redo the steps I posted above.

 

[wascapsfan]

Should I start from the beginning and redownload the PC05IMG files?

 

[Papadroid]

If that does not work I would reflash the custom RUU via the bootloader.

This phone isn't like the OG droid I had. When I change roms or go back to a backup, I lose root for about 30 minutes to an hour. Then it just starts giving root access. I'm not sure why that happens. Last night I went back to a backup I did after rooting and I had to re-download superuser from the market. I still couldn't get root access until this morning. The phone booted into recovery sometime last night and I re-booted this morning and everything was ok. I had root access again.

The only PG05IMG file that you would want is the custom one and NOT the downgrade. Also it would help me to know what thread you are using to accomplish root.

There is an updated Super User app available over at XDA (under ThunderBolt Development). I would try downloading and installing that and see if it helps. XDA is being slow as molasas right now but I do see you have a topic over there as well.

I think the link to the updated SU is now on page 2 or 3. I will post the link here and in your XDA thread as soon as I can get the stupid site to update lol...

Here is the link to the thread:

Thanks for all the help everyone.
It's working again. I had to start from the beginning.
It was running great yesterday until I loaded "The Perfect Storm" and the Thunderbolt _1600_V1 Kernal (I'm not saying that either of these fine programs crated the problem....Too much work involved by the wonderful developers)
I'm just saying something I downloaded stopped my WIFI from functioning (error) and I kept getting this annoying com.bdg thingy popping up.
I did something wrong but because of you wonderful people here, I'm back in business.
THANKS SOO MUCH
