Droid 2.2 froyo root stopped working. (Solved)

Post by Shimo »

Soooo. I'm experiencing a very..... Interesting dilemma. I had root enabled on my phone for quite some time. In fact, it still kind of works. I didn't realize I had a problem until I tried to install a new app that requires root access. I have now discovered that apps no longer request super user........ su is in several places now (all of which are default and alternative locations for su. /sbin/su keeps erasing on reboot so I gave up on that.) . All with the chmod 4755. Running root checker I get

Code: Select all

Congradulations! You have root access!

Alternate su binary location:
/sbin/su: Permission Denied

Root user id:
uid=0(root)

Root group id:
gid=0(root)
Now I have lots of tools at my disposal to try and fix this, I'm just stumped. For example I have adb shell access with root privilege.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP. I would rather not have to start over again.


P.S. Phone = sony ericsson xperia x10 running free x10 2.2 froyo beta 4

P.P.S Why can I not upload a raw text file? Or a .txt file??? :(

P.P.P.S " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Done and done. Theres all the relevant folders.

Solved!!!! So it seems the only problem was that fact that I updated the superuser app. I downgraded the app and now its working fine....... I have no idea why updating breaks it. Also ow I feel like a noob. Lol
