Root problems

[Flowguy]

Hey everyone, Flowguy here. I'm having a few troubles with my rooted phone. Or should I say unrooted phone. I've been rooted for a few months now although suddenly my phone can't tell. Some of my apps say I'm not rooted such as the wireless tether, but I have SU still and I don't have a custom ROM on. I'm using a Droid 1 and running 2.2.2. If anyone could help me it would be much appriceiated.

Well first things first. Get root checker from the market and run it. It'll tell you if you have root or not. What apps aren't seeing it?

 

[Flowguy]

The root checker says I'm not rooted. But I continue to have the SU app. Both rom manager and wireless tether are saying I'm not rooted.

Download Rom Manager and load it. Scroll down a bit and click on the option "Fix Permissions"... should do it?!

 

[Flowguy]

I just attempted as you said zerosouls but it said "error occured while attempting to run privliged commands"

 

[zerosouls]

Are you sure your rooted then? Does Superuser show in your app drawer?

 

[Flowguy]

Yes I have been rooted for several month and have used wireless tether before. I have the superuser app.

 

[zerosouls]

Somehow your not rooted? Try backing up your current ROM and wiping cache and data and load a new one. I know it's a lot to do, but it's all I can suggest.

What ROM are you using currently? Give as much information as possible; your not getting a lot of response cuz you are not giving a lot of information on what your phone is running.

I'm running stock, I used to run cyanogen mod but switched back to stock because of to many bugs. I tried switching back after these problems start and ROM manager says the same error message as before.

 

[zerosouls]

Ah ok, it almost sounded like your running bugless beast... I can't imagine your problem otherwise..

 

[Flowguy]

Nah. Just plain oldd stock.

The root checker says I'm not rooted. But I continue to have the SU app. Both rom manager and wireless tether are saying I'm not rooted.

You somehow lost root? Did you get an update recently? Having the superuser app means nothing.

 

[Flowguy]

Nope just stock

 

[Flowguy]

I might have gotten the update I'm not sure. what was the update?

Just follow link 3 in my sig and you'll be rooted again without issue, no need to wipe.
