I was in the process of updating to the official VZW 5.6.890 (So i can finally get SDv3.0 running!) and now my superuser isnt working correctly which wont allow me to use safestrap or anything else to even go into recovery mode for that matter... I did do full backups with safestrap (in "unsafe mode") but cant even access the app or the boot menu even after many reboots and resets. AND:
Before you ask, i didnt simply do the update while rooted. I used Voodoos OTA Rootkeeper to temp unroot, backed up everything, and successfully installed the 5.6.890 OTA update without any issues. After like a 5minute bootup i checked the system version and was relieved to see to the new version. So I opened Rootkeeper, "re rooted" my phone, and rebooted it thinking i could open safestrap with no problems. Wrong. It didnt give me the option to recovery boot with the menu softkey like it normally does, and holding down the M key didnt work either. The problem is definitely with Superuser, and it causes my safestrap to immediately force close even with uninstalling and re-installing it several times. I tried uninstaling Superuser from market (yea right like that does anything) and installing BusyBox as well as SuperUser update fixer. The update fixer at first says no problems detected (with the signatures), and when i force run it says this in the command log;
*Checking signatures....Ok
*Extracting tiny busyboy...Ok
*Extracting Superuser.apk...Ok
*Gaining root access... 'Failed. Try downloading and flashing an update.zip from androidsu.com' (Tried that as well but i have no recovery to flash the .zip and it wouldnt open by itself...)
So basically Superuser is there and my phone says it is rooted in BusyBox, but SU wont allow root access to anything... even itself? help pleasee
EDIT: When trying to update SU binarys i get the same error message, everything works til it hits "Gaining root access... fail"
Just thought id let everyone know the problem isnt with the outdated binaries or anything like that either.
