    Lost my root!

    Some background info. I have been rooted since December and I am currently running: 2.1 Kernel 2.6.29 Build Bugless Beast 07.8. All is good there. I decided to try out Droid Mod, once I installed it, I wanted to install a new ROM. And Honestly, I did not pay attention so don't beat me up about it ok? Well, it says "Your phone is already rooted" and it attempts to install the ROM. The rom does not install due to insufficent access. And now my rooted apps no longer work. I said ok: Let's go ahead and use the update.zip. Did that, no go. Also, when I am attempted to make a back up in recovery it freezes on me.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    If you're not rooted then why can't you just run DMupdater root your phone again and you'll be back in business. DroidMod - Everything Droid doesn't, DroidMod does., search around a bit and you'll find DMupdater.

    Do you still have the superuser app? If you still have the app, I would make sure the permissions for busybox did not get messed up when switching roms. I would use root explorer, go to system/Xbin/busybox and make sure the the permissions are set to rwxr-xr-x

    It's set as -r maybe I can adjust file properties... i'll let you know if it worked.

    Ok:

    I cannot run Root Explorer, I get the error saying it does not have access due to SU. My SU is installed but it's not working. Any other way I can change properties of that file?

    Yes, I was able to get in using adb on my pc.

    I just put my phone back to 2.0.1 stock, and I'm going to start over on the droid mod.

    EDIT

    Looks to be good now with minimal changes.
