OTA took my root away

[ScoobyDoo27]

So last night Verizon decided to update my phone and when I woke up this morning I no longer had root. I still have the superuser app in my app drawer but when I try to use any root only apps it says that I have no root. So do I just use the old way to get root back or is there a new way I'm gonna have to do to get root access back?

did you get 2.2? I suppose it may be a good thing since I heard that rooted Fascinates were having trouble receiving and installing OTA updates.

No, I still have 2.1. This is the update that Verizon sent to my phone. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...royo-but-its-something-new-update-coming.html

So whatever that update is, is what took away my root. I'm just wondering if it's safe to re-root using the old method I used before this OTA was sent to my phone?

yeah.. you can re-root.. that was one of the things going on with the update.. it took away your root but i believe a couple of your root files may still be there..

So I tried re-rooting my phone and it said it was successful but when I try to use Titanium Backup or any other root app it says I still don't root access. ShootMe works just fine and my Superuser app is in my app drawer and shows all the apps it allows.

I don't get it. What am I doing wrong?

Well, I tried to do the update on mine and it said, no updates avaiable.

try this...

1. download One Click Lag Fix from the market
   • un-root device from that app (if available)
2. then use that original root method to root it again (link)

hope this helps.

I keep trying to update mine, but it keeps saying that it Failed. :/

Tried again just now, "NO NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE AVAILABLE". So I thought I'd check the firmware version, it says 2.1-update1 on mine. Can anyone check theirs who have gotten the update and let me know what your firmware version is? Thanks.

Mine says 2.1-update1 as well. I gave a link to what the update does. I assume Verizon is still pushing the update out. I remember it took like 2 weeks for everyone to get 2.2 on the Droid.

Did you get the update yet?

Mine says 2.1-update1 as well. I gave a link to what the update does. I assume Verizon is still pushing the update out. I remember it took like 2 weeks for everyone to get 2.2 on the Droid.

Yeah, I got the update the night before I posted this thread because it killed my root and I wanted to make sure it was safe to re-root with it being a new firmware version.
