Root Pre rooted 4.5.596 not working

[Mrananas]

I've just installed the pre rooted version of 4.5.596 from team black hat, and when I try to boot up I get to the M and the screen goes black. Then it gets stuck in this loop (M-blank, M-blank etc...) I followed the instructions on the following page page perfectly (Method 2):

What should I do?

boot into recovery...wipe data/factory reset

Couldn't boot into recovery, had to boot into bootloader and sbf. I tried again but this time it'll say installing update, do the team black hat icon, installing Part 1 of 2 then immediately an error will come up below saying:
Verifying current system...

the upgrade worked great for me except I lost root

Did you try downloading the 2 parts from a different site?

topdj are you sure you flashed the rooted version?

Official DX Gingerbread 2.3.3 (4.5.596) Release Thread - Something for everyone

I did just what I was told 340 rooted then the 2 parts cleared the cache in the droid 2 boot strap, which now no longer even works so I cant go back.
because the root was removed, no more recovery.
hell I might as well did the OTA im in the same boat

I had to be rooted when I started because the bootstrap 2 program asked for SU permission


during the 2 part upgrade I say the black hat info so I know I had the right prerooted version

check my signature, it has what you need

I thought by doing thee 2 part method I was to not loose root,
what do I use to root this rootable 2 part GB
does Z4 root work on the 2 part one?

No, Z4 only works on Froyo. You will have to SBF and start over making sure you pick the correct GB update to keep root after you root Froyo with Z4.

WT$ I used 340 rooted and was rooted when I started the 2 part process what happened to root??? Im not loosing all my setting. WHY did I use the pre rooted 2 parts then I just hosed!

First off calm yourself. These things happen. Flashing Roms, themes, ect. isn't perfect. Things go wrong without warning or reason. Just SBF your phone back to Froyo, root with z4root, install D2 bootstrap, and flash GB using method two and the two files provided in that link you have.

Once all this is done and before you leave Clockwork recovery do a data wipe/factory reset to prevent the bootlooping. As always download new files and be sure your phone is charged enough to give this all another try.

 

[VoidedSaint]

there is almost no way to turn the dx into a brick, but it can happen, but just do as cougar suggests and you should be fine

 

[topdj]

whats clock work? I used D2 bootstrapper , installed 1 & 2 cleared the delvic cache
and it booted up just fine, didnt loose any setting. I dont want wipe phone. wheres the undo button when you need it

 

[cougar214]

D2 Bootstrap boots you into Clockwork recover. So is your problem fixed now? You say it booted up just fine. Are you referring to the no root problem? If so install Titanium Backup and it will put Super User on the phone for you. If your Super User is broken it will not give you root access. Titanium Backup will put a "Last known good copy" on the phone for you and it should fix your root problem.

 

[VoidedSaint]

clockwork recovery is what you boot into when you use the dx/d2 bootstrapper, its what allows you to install everything, and sorry but going from rom to rom, a data wipe and cache wipe is very well needed.. you will eventually find out why

phone acts just like before all my info has not been lost but I still don't have root.
I have titanium and root file explorer but they dont work anymore

 

[cougar214]

Then you either need to wipe data/factory reset or you need to SBF and start over with fresh files. If you don't want to do that and take the little bit of time it takes to put your apps , etc. back in then we can't help you.

It's gonna be necessary to do either one or both of those steps if you want your root back. Personally I would do the data wipe first and if that doesn't work SBF it again. Make sure you have a full charge on your battery before proceeding to SBF and flash files again.

 

[bouchigo]

I say sbf 2.3.340 and start over fresh.....wipe data and cache too.

 

[topdj]

I used terminal emulator and it says I don't have permissions, guess I will have to wait for a root tool to come out to root a pre rooted 596 LOL

You'll be waiting forever most likely, no tool that we know of is being worked on to Root GB on the DX.

 

[topdj]

I dont have regular GB I have the pre rooted GB one. I saw all the black hat logo stuff going on during the installs

 

[bouchigo]

pretty sad I buy titanium backup and I cant even use it to restore my phone since its locked out of permissions

Just start over by sbf'ing and wipe everything, you should be fine after that.

Well, theoretically, Gingerbreak could still be modified to try to root GB for the DX...

Quoting the exploit's authors (C skills: yummy yummy, GingerBreak!) "If it fails there, some offsets and indexes need to be adjusted which is left to the reader.".

I've downloaded and examined the source code (from the above site) for the guts of the exploit...its pretty complicated. There's lots of stuff in there that's way above my pay-grade, LOL... I'd "play" with it if I had an unlocked Bionic in my hands (which would make my X eligible for evil experiments ).

But I certainly agree with you bouchigo, I haven't heard of anyone actively working on this...

Cheers!

I bet you're right, I'm sure it's possible, but most likely not worth the effort, especially since you can install the pre rooted GB update.
