Bigbird Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I need some serious help lol. I had the phone rooted last night. This morning I was getting ready to load a ROM and forgot to put the new PG05IMG on the SD card before I went into recovery and started wiping everything. I rebooted the phone, and no longer had root. So I did a factory reboot and tried to run the boot program again. I used this one, and not the 2.1... http://www.droidforums.net/forum/thunderbolt-hacks/141936-auto-root-unroot-htc-thunderbolt.html I used that to root both times. Now I have the superuser app, and ROM manager seems to recognize root sometimes, but not others. And when I tried to boot into recovery I got a screen with a phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark. I thought for damn sure I bricked my phone, but thankfully I didn't lol. Help a noob out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Did you install a custom recovery? Doesn't sound like it. Rom manager will install it for you, I don't know what's available for the Thunderbolt, but Amon-RA or Clockwork probably has one for it.

Bigbird Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 It has clockworkmod recovery on it. I hadn't flashed it the second time I rooted, is that why I got the creepy death screen? Edit: sometimes when I do things in ROM manager I get the message an error occurred while trying to run privileged commands...that would lead me to believe its not rooted.

Yeah, the screen you saw is the factory recovery screen. http://h6.abload.de/img/20100829_004w6fq.jpg Weird though, usually the logo looks like this: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS0pNdYXZMRi__SXAyCAb6l5wncTq0CobnX5FM3lADayy2uUIY0Rw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Weird. It didn't have any of the recovery options on it. Just the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 But still when I go to fix permissions in rom manager I still get the error trying to run privileged commands thing. I downloaded root checker and busybox and they say I have root. I really want to flash sad bamf 2.0 but now I'm scared shitless to lol.

CRed05 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'd start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yeah I have no idea now. ROM manager seems to be working perfectly now, did a full backup and reboot, successfully did "fix permissions" and rebooted. Everything seems fine, but when I go into root checker and do an advanced root check it says... Detailed Results: Congratulations! You have root access! Standard su binary location: /system/bin/su:No such file or directory Alternate su binary location: /sbin/su: Permission denied Root user id: uid=0(root) Root group id: gid=0(root) Wtf does that mean? Anyone wanna make $20 and just do this shit for me? Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Sounds like you rooted, but the SU package didn't get installed.. Try re-rooting from the last step if possible ? Or just install superuser from the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Alternate su being "permission denied" is ok Do you have root explorer or something like that? Go into system/bin and see if you see su in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into system/bin and see if you see su in there No, it is not. It goes stop, surfaceflinger, svc. And I did try to redo the root from the last step. It said complete and everything.

CRed05 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Ok, i think you can copy it from somewhere else into there... is it under system/xbin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 As a matter of fact it is lol. What do I do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I don't know if it's exactly the same, but try copying and pasting it into the bin folder, run root checker again. Also, before you do that, try reinstalling busybox from the market, see if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Should I have busybox install to bin or xbin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 xbin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Motherfuck, it says I can't paste su in bin because "the file system is read only"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Motherfuck, it says I can't paste su in bin because "the file system is read only"... See the button that says Mount R/W, click it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Okay, now root check says... Congratulations! You have root access! And skips straight to alternate su binary location: permission denied. So does this mean I'm good to go as far as root goes? Can I bow before the majesty of cred?

CRed05 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 You should be good to go. Do another backup, wipe, and flash the rom of your choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbird Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Alright, gotta bug you guys again hahaha. I wanna flash das bamf 2.0. From my understanding I put it on my SD card and use clockworkmod recovery to flash it, correct? Does das bamf 2.0 include the mr2 radio, or do I need to flash that as well? If so, how do I do that along with flashing the ROM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
