So about 2 months ago I rooted my phone. I followed the method here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928160

Everything was ok, until my super user permissions program stopped working. The program opened but its a solid black screen and I cannot give any new program SU permission. At first the programs that already had permission could still have SU permission, but, in an attempt to fix the issue I cleared the program cache and those programs lost their SU permission(like TT and terminal).

Their is a new SU permissions program on the market that I paid for from the same company but I assume because the old one is still installed that it is not showing up for that reason and cannot be opened.

I cannot figure out how to get rid of the original Superuser Permissions program. I have tried every program I could find by surfing forums, I have factory reset the phone... but that SU permissiosn program is still there upon a clean factory reset!

I have the ADB installed on my PC, but when I try to run a remount I get an error that I am not allowed to do that. After my factory reset I tried running back through the walkthrough I listed. Visionary says its temp rooted, but in terminal the SU command says "access denied." I think this all has to do with that bad SU program being in stalled and if I can get that off and install the replacement one I paid for, then the SU could grant access to terminal and I could re-root the phone.

My theory is only speculation. Can anyone tell me how to remove this SU program. Its located in directories that are read only and all the commands I have found to remove it so far have required a rooted terminal command, or ADB remount commands that I cannot use. Please help. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
Couple of things to try. First can you boot into recovery? What Rom are you using if any? Since you already did a factory reset I assume you don't have any data you want to save so I would just reflash a Rom from recovery. I don't remember off the top of my head but I think you hold vol - plus power when booting to get to recovery? Or if your current Rom has the permissions still to boot to recovery from the power menu?

Another thing to try is the "rage" method to gain root. I know there are issues with using visionary after you already have root. So give rage a search and try that. Come to think of it you might just try the rage method first. Let me know how its goin I might be able to help more
[G2 and Desire Z General] derricks2:
A: Not sure I will try.

A: Stock that came on the phone

A: Again, I will try, but nothing has SU permissions anymore.

A: I will try this too. I will look on our forum, but since you are familiar with the process maybe you can provide me with a link to make things easier? Would you happen to have a link to the rage method for the G2?

Thanks for the reply!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] derricks2:
Nothing has worked. The original superuser permissions is still installed. I get errors when trying to push files to those read only directories even though ADB.

Any ideas on how I can get everything back to factory settings?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
What do you mean "a new SU permissions program that I paid for"?

There's only one SU program that I know of. The only paid one that I know of is just a license file for an upcoming, yet to be released, program. You'll need to be specific in order for this to get resolved but it sounds like you may need to reinstall the SU binaries and the SU program.

To uninstall the current one you just need to go to applications>manage, click on the program and then click uninstall. Then use ROM manager to download and install SU for you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] derricks2:
Thanks for the reply but I am way past that. The OS will not let me uninstall the current SU program. The "paid" SU program is a separate program because it asked me to install the file rather than "update" like the free one says when I open it from the market.

I am very specific in my original post.

Somehow the SU program stopped working. New programs that require SU access were not givign the pop up that allowed me to grant SU access. When I open SU its just a black screen with no options. I cleared the cache to try to fix and this removed SU permissions from all the programs that I had already granted SU permissions to(like terminal). I cannot uninstall the program from the built in manager or any of the several file managers I have tried. I also cannot overwrite the current file by "updating" the existing installed version. I paid the 1$ for the paid version because its a different program all together. My thought process was if android sees it as a separate program, it will install it as a separate program and I can use it independantly of the original non-functioning version. That did not work. It says its installed but the icon is no where to be found and I cannot run it, even from a file manager. The old SU icon(of a ninja) still stays in the program list even after I wiped the phone and dida factory reset.

The point is its going to take some advanced procedure to remove the SU program. Its in adirectory that is read only. It takes SU permissions to make that directory read/write and I cant get SU permissions, even temporarily with visionary or Z7. I have tried ADB and it also says permission denied.
[G2 and Desire Z General] derricks2:
So this is NOT resolved yet.

At this point:

-I have reset the phone several times, each time SUpermissions is still installed when the phone comes back up.

-USB debugging is enabled.

-I have googled possible solutions that all have not worked(using ADB failed, updating the SU program failed, clearing the cahce failed, disabling usb debugging then hooking to cpu and reenabling it and using adb to try and use SU command failed...etc

-using 3rd party apps to uninstall failed

-using other SU apps failed

A rough rundown of my problem is:

Phone is rooted. At some point when I opened a NEW app that would require SU access, the pop up generalted by SUpermissions stopped popping up allowing me to give access. Programs I had already granted SU access to would still work(like terminal and titanium backup). Per someones request I tried to clear the cache. When I did this all the programs that DID have SU access lost SU access and I still could not add new programs to the SU list. I have tried ADB commands, file managers, factor resetting the phone. Nothing works. The SUpermissions program is there when I factory reset the phone as if it is one of the preinstalled apps. Apps tell me that I DO have my phone rooted, but that I still need to allow it SU access. I have not been able to uninstall the SU program and if I could get that program updated/re-installed then I believe that I could get the root access back.

Any real suggestions?(not the "is usb debugging enabled" Tier I troubleshooting steps that I am WAY past)

Thank in advance

Kk do you have s-off and the eng-bootloader? Do you have a custom recovery?

If you have s-off and custome recovery you can back up your rom using nandroid, then do a wipe and install a freshly new rom

Also you can boot into clockwork and try to run fix permissons

If you don't have custome recovery (clock work) you will need to have eng-bootloader to do fastboot commands to flash recovery

Also have for adb make sure debuggin is on and boot into bootloader from there try to do adb commands there

If your able to do so and get access

You can go into adb shell and remount to rw then push a new SU.apk in and reboot and su should work as well

This if you don't remember commands

Adb shell

Su

#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#

Then exit out of shell then do adb push

Adb push (where ever su user location on pc) /system/app
[G2 and Desire Z General] derricks2:
I installed rom manager by clockworkmod, which I believe is the program you were refering too.

I tried to "fix permissions" and it failed there.

How would I reload the stock ROM?

If I backup the current ROM, and reload it, then it will reload it as it is with SUpermissions already installed.

Where can I find a copy of the stock rom that came on the G2?
[G2 and Desire Z General] derricks2:
BTW

I do have S-off, but I did not install the engineering hboot.

Let me know the best way to go about getting a stock rom put back on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilostchild:
Do you have clockwork recovery, not rom manager, turn off phone hold vol dwn and power.. you should boot in custome recovery all letters should be orange,

If you have that good! Jus go to dev section and download a stock rom that is rooted put in sdcard and boot in cwm recovery go to back up and restore, do a back up after back up is down do a wip/factory reset, when down click install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard and look for rom that is in sdcard and flash that.. or you want you could also get cyanogenrom too but also get gapps too
[G2 and Desire Z General] shortlived:
You never answered if you could get to recovery. If you really have soff then your fine. So when your phone boots it says s off correct? And what happens with you hold vol down while booting? Even if you dont have clockwork recovery you can still install the original rom which you can find in the forums.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gpclaker:
when chick the superuser ,it always display "force close"

but other app can be supported to get root permission by superuser.

but ,

when i get the superuser update in the google market,nightmare coming.

well ,i have the same issue like yours.

i try to fix ti anywhere ,but i flash other rom to replace.

do you have the solution?
[G2 and Desire Z General] derricks2:
I assume that its s-off. The link that I posted the the root method that I used said that it would root with S-off. The only thing I did not do is install the eng hboot. I assume that the root is done with S-off.

I have not had time to sit and try this yet. I will try soon and get back with my results.
[G2 and Desire Z General] derricks2:
I know at one point I had it, but as I said I factory reset my phone. I want to make sure that I install the correct app, so who manufacturers clockwork?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilostchild:
If you had the cwm recovery b4 and all you did was a factory reset then you should still have it, only time you lose recovery if you update to official rom or you flashed another recovery, clockwork recovery is made my koush, and rom manager is also made by koush
[G2 and Desire Z General] I AM VS4:
Try flashing another ROM or a kernel. this could be an error or corruption in the folder located in the root folder of your phone. Flash a new ROM and try it again but set a backup and see if this error continued to another ROM. Hope I helped :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] derricks2:
When I hold the vol down button the text is in orange.

I will try this process. I am at work and may not have a lot of time here today. If you can point me to where I might find the stock ROM w/ root that would be wonderful.

I assume that rooted version comes with SU and clockwork etc already installed?
[G2 and Desire Z General] derricks2:
Ok... maybe I was mistaken. When I boot into recovery, it says S-off, and the options I have to choose from are orange, but ALL the text is not orange.

When I go through ROM manager to flash a ROM(which is the stock rom i downloaded that I want to flash) it says I need to have CWR installed and to use the option at the top to install it. When I click that it says its asking for permissions to install, which means I need SU permissions, which is my problem in the first place.

I have the rom loaded on my SD. As I said, the 4 options I have in the initial recovery mode are orange(though the rest of the text is now orange) but I do not know which one to choose. Any advice? Do I have clockwork recovery installed? If not, is their any way to flash a ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tooter1:
Did someone miss this? I thought you had to have the ENG-Hboot?:confused:

But, what do I know, I'm a newb.....:D
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] prana22:
Good news for doubletwist fans. They put out an update this morning that will support putting your files on sdcard2. Pretty simple to set up (although not user intuitive). If you go into settings there is a setting to delete your doubletwist database at the bottom. Click that and it will rebuild the database looking at any drives you have.

Excellent improvement!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] amusedkid:
Awesome. I use double twist with air sync in both my phone and tablet.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Gendo3:
awesome~ I actually really like Doubletwist player and that was one of the main gripes I had about it (Will it also look into the USB port?)

Also, I've had problems getting the Internet Radio to work with it

But I haven't really tried that hard to get it to work yet...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] krpan:
Well, clicking on 'Reset doubleTwist' under settings in doubleTwist (at the bottom under Advanced heading), which deletes the library database and rebuilds it, did not work for me. No media content under /sdcard2 was found :(

This was with doubleTwist 1.4.2 (10601)

I have my LCD density currently set at 180 and all is fine. Except for a single app, it takes up like 2/3rds of the screen with gaps on the sides. How can I change this? Every other app is just fine. . . .
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] romano76:
download "spare parts" and disable compatibility mode, restart your phone. i hope it works.

spare parts is in the android market, download it there.

In the source code Android appears to be up to 2.6 for some repositories. Never mind Ice Cream, I want Kola or Liquorice! Now if only there was someway to update a Nexus phone to that...

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=summary

Never mind that, that's the kernal reference... :)
[General Topics] oka1:
Dude........... you are misreading, this is the kernel version, all phones that are a 1year old or less are on 2.6.xx kernel build this is not android operating system. My Galaxy is using 2.6.32.9 kernel and 2.21 android. do not mix the two..........

OP, change your subject to kernel so to avoid further confusion :confused::eek:

[EVO Shift 4G General] PaulB007:
Hey guys, in your opinion what gives the best battery life on a sense ROM like Mikshift? BC's 1.5GHz, 1.8GHZ or X99, Scary Kernel, ect. Just curious what some of your experiences are..
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
I have been running mikshift since the beta along with bcnice20 oc uv 1.5 kernel with amazing battery life, if I forget my charger I don't even worry the standby time of that set up is just amazing ran for 24 hours on wifi with about 5 hours of using the net,tapatalk and about 75 texts and was at 50% at 24 hours of being unplugged its the only setup ill run, sometimes ill throw the 1.8 on there just to show everyone I can go that high but its never needed. I run at 1516 max 368 min conservative with a screen off profile for 806 max and 368 min no complaints here at all!! Its actually the only setup I'm willing to run!
[EVO Shift 4G General] e240:
Go with the x99 kernel without changing any settings. Just flash and leave it alone. Easy 2 days like that
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tharwatq:
Hello...

I have a SanDisk 4GB class 4 micro SD card that came with HTC desire. I installed one of those ROMs that support Data2SD, and it was fast without lagging (actually, super fast).

I bought a Kingston 8GB class 4 micro SD card to replace it with the SanDisk, and installed the same ROM, but I noticed an annoying lag during the normal use, as an example, just after booting to the home screen, when I enter Settings, it lags for like 5 seconds (that NEVER happened in the SanDisk 4GB card). It also lags on different application such as when launching the web browser (a pause for 7 seconds, and again, that didn't happen with SanDisk).

I bought another card, this time Imation 8GB class 4, but it gave me the same results as the Kingston!!

I did a test on the three cards using H2TESTW, the results are as follows:

SanDisk 4GB Class4 --> Write: 4.5 MB/s Read: 11.3 MB/s

Kingston 8GB Class4 --> Write: 4.4 MB/s Read: 18.3 MB/s

Imation 8GB Class4 --> Write: 4.5 MB/s Read: 18.5 MB/s

They all share the same speed in writing, but the Kingston and Imation are faster in reading! which confused me! They both have faster reading speed than the SanDisk BUT lag annoyingly during the normal use!

To be very clear, I tried the Imation card with a ROM supporting App2SD not Data2SD, and it ran smoothly with no lags, but once Data2SD is there, it starts lagging! (I know that Data2SD ROMs are slower than App2SD, but I swear, the Data2SD on SanDisk is FASTER than App2SD on Kingston or Imation).

One more thing, I tried various partitioning for the 8GB cards, with and without swap (swap was always 32M) but with no luck to improve the performance.

If anyone has a logical explanation for this case please let me know, and if there is a certain fix for that (I don't know if increasing the swap size for the 8GB due to their higher capacity would help) please share it here.

Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Are you by any chance using starburst? Try the newer xe and we scripts on the beta section.they should eliminate lags for slower cards

Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Forgive any typos!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tharwatq:
Thanks for your reply.

But it seems that the both of the 8GB cards that I have are faster than the 4GB card, then why are they slower in ROMs?!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tharwatq:
Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
Well, from what I understand, 4gb are faster in real life than 8gb, all proper tests show that, look up test charts in Google. I believe its because it takes more time to search for info over the larger space. I'm only speculating on that, as I don't know this for sure.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tharwatq:
Well, that is what I thought of too, take -for example- 500GB hard disk drive, it will take much time to scan than a 120 GB drive, which is logic.

I will do more research on this thing and will post back.

Thanks.
[HD7 General] EdZorX:
So after looking at my phone last night under dim light I noticed something... dust in the screen, no big deal... that was until i noticed it was UNDERNEATH the freaking screen! :mad::mad::mad:

Of course nothing I tried can get it loose, I already sent an email to HTC regarding the issue so now I play the waiting game. I've had htc's for years now (mogul, touch pro, touch pro 2) and this is the only time I remember having this problem (I am ocd about my phones, they must look like they are new, always :D)

Has anyone else out there had this problem? The phone is not even a month old! And I can't stand seeing that crap there, always ruining whatever i'm looking at :(:(

Please offer any solutions! I have a friend who works for tmobile so i'll be asking him later when I see him but I also need xda forum input
[HD7 General] MartyLK:
I had that with one replacement HD7. When I got my HD7 I actually went through 4 of them to get one without faults. The first one had reception problems. The second one had patches of dead pixels al over the screen. The third had particulates under the screen. I finally went to a different store and received a perfect one.

I might mention, in case it has an impact on it, wipe the display from side to side gently. Don't wipe from top to bottom or bottom to top. I have an idea duct and particulates are able to channel under the screen from the little mesh grill areas at the top and bottom.
[HD7 General] EdZorX:
I thought it would be from these too as they all seem to have came in form the mesh grille on top, I'm going to the t-mobile store in a bit and see what they can do with it.

No impacts here at all, I have an otterbox case on it too... so much to have a nasty little lint thing get stuck on the inside!!

Now all I see is that thing on there, it makes me so mad
[HD7 General] thekiller99:
The only problem i had with dust was on the freaking speakers and i can't get them out no matter how hard i try

I had dust on my htc desire, thought it was a htc specific problem until I saw my mates iPhone!
[HD7 General] EdZorX:
UIpdate:

HTC emailed me saying "we apologize for this, please contact our service center M-F regarding this issue"

We'll see what happens when I call them tomorrow... I expect a WARRANTY repair!
[HD7 General] Blue1k:
Simple fix for that.

I use a lens cloth and eye glasses cleaner. Wet the cloth a bit and fold it into and edge and clean the speakers. Takes all the dust out of mine. Looks brand new!
[HD7 General] EdZorX:
Finally spoke with HTC repair center today, good news is they will look at my phone... bad news is I have to pay to ship it to them and apart from that I gotta be HD7 less for 6 to 10business days!! :mad::mad::mad:

Well just the thought of that crap no longer being underneath my screen is good enough to think about those 10 days going by quickly :D

personally i think the phone gets EXTREMELY hot..

i havent had any reboots because of it, but im pretty sure my browser crashed after playing videos for about 20 minutes straight...cause it just exited to the homescreen out of nowhere

i wonder if this can be addressed somehow in a future update..i dont want to underclock my CPU cause i'd be surpressing the power of this phone if i did
