[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Luckly I had made a nandroid right before su app auto updated, because all I got was fc after fc. With the update setting it to auto allow works but that seems kind of unsafe to me, any app or script could get su access and do anything it wanted, possibly bad such as stealing info n such.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Has anyone else noticed various apps requesting root that are not root apps? For example, "Handcent" and "Ubermusic" recently requested permissions and since I have been rooted this has never happened.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Yes I had "Qr Droid" ask for su permission but its not a root app. I denied it and the app still worked just fine. Also it sometimes denies apps su privelages without even prompting even though I have it set to prompt. And it also sometimes denies remembered allowed apps. This is on su app 3.0.4 and su binary 3.0
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
It is the oddest thing but as you said, it does not impact app peformance. Im on 3.0 binary and SU 3.0.2 and couldn't be happier otherwise.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aweaver33:
So my options are:

Stick with v2 that JUST WORKS

Upgrade to v3, but open up a HUGE security hole just so it won't crash.

I'm sticking with v2.

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

It has nothing to do with Titanium Backup. Here's my sequence:

Started with ROM that is functioning perfectly (a slightly tweaked version of your Gingerbread OTA ROM, no less)

Do a nandroid backup

Install Superuser 3.0.5

Watch it FC constantly.

Restore from my nandroid backup.

Watch superuser v2 work without crashing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
The problem isn't the superuser app but the 3.0 binary I think. Or mabey its just that the 3.0.5 su app dosent play nice with the 3.0 binary. I downgraded back to su binary 2.3.2-efgh and then let the su app update to 3.0.5 and all is well been a couple hours now with no fc's and no odd behavior.

IM on binary 3.0 with superuser v3 beta 4 from superuser elite works fine.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
I have superuser 3.0.5 with the 3.0 binary. No force close issues. only change was turning off logging. Running cm 7.1 stable. Try that if you're having issues.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlacrossjr:
nope don't work maybe issue with sense roms. Rolling back to beta

3.5 Sense&Tiny's kernel+08.08 Radio
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmiketn:
What you said.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpuspeed:
same issue force close galore. only stopped by allowing all which I don't like. tried uninstalling and down grading but now it happens with the previous version as well. Also have problems booting into recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
For those having fc's, please list all pertinent info, such as version of super user, binary, and ROM, and perhaps what you were doing and what the superuser does. Maybe we can find a common denominator. I have a strong suspicion it's mainly the newer sense roms. Rmk was tweeting a month or so ago how he had to tweak the superuser app, and when I was trying synergy, the included version was 9.9.9 or something.

Latest CM7.1 nightly (225 as of this post), superuser elite 3.0.5, binary 3.0, no problems.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumperalex:
FWIW, I found that the new version, which was always causing FC, and was having a bear of a time downgrading, simply stopped causing problems by NOT checking "remember app". Yes, that meant I had to explicitly ALLOW the app root access everytime it needed it, but no FC and no leaving a gaping hole.

Now however, I overflashed (no wipe/factory reset) Stock+, SU updated again, and I decided to give it one more go allowing SU to remember an app and sure enough no FC.

What does that mean [shrug] got me. But cache and dalvik were wiped when I flashed the newest Stock+ ROM so maybe that fixed it. I doubt it was the rom because lot of phone and lot of roms have been reporting the FC issue and not selecting remember app was the solution suggested that worked.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgoldner:
I had the latest SU and binaries, as well as paying for SU Elite (for reasons which now completely escape me).

Running McSense 2.4 with tiny4579's 10/15 kernel (but also on the 10/8 kernel) I was getting incessant force closes with the "new" Superuser.

Couldn't clear log (force close); with most root apps, when I initially loaded them I would get the "toast" message that SU permission granted, then immediately afterwards the "force close" dialogue from SU.

This was after clean flash; after clean Nandroid restore (with cache and dalvik wiped first) and after reboot. Ultimately I did the following:

1. Unchecked "automatic update" in market.

2. Uninstalled Elite

3. Uninstalled update, rolling back to version supplied in McSense 2.4.

Re-accessed all apps requiring SU permissions one by one to get them rolling.

Rebooted.

Not one force close from SU since.

Incidentally, I had emailed the developer who merely pointed me to the SU website, which does not address these issues.

My recommendation is stick with prior versions until 3.x has the kinks worked out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
My SU issues popped up on Nils Business GingerSense 3.5 rom the day that SU was first updated. I have been running Nils BGS 3.5 rom since day one, version one. My current SU binary is 3.0 and I had SU v3.0.5 when the force closes arose. Uninstalling updates resolved my issues and I've had no fc's since I moved back to SU v3.0.2(27). The only oddity is the same two non-root apps began requesting root two weeks ago, Ubermusic and Handcent, and I have not applied updates nor modded either in months. I have lost zero functionality in either app when I deny root access so I haven't thought twice about it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Probably because he is an excellent dev and a key member of the rooting scene. Definitely wouldn't be the same without him. And it was only a dollar; he deserves way more than that, at any rate.

Anyways, here is an update if y'all haven't seen yet.

where can I download SU 3.0.2? Or other versions?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlacrossjr:
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/

3.5 Sense&Tiny's kernel+08.08 Radio
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowman4000:
ok what's the difference between the 2 versions here?

su-3.0.2-d-signed.zip

su-3.0.2-efgh-signed.zip

???

What's the best way of changing Super user apps? Uninstall current super user app in your rom and then flash the zip in CWM?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
d is for doughnut

efgh is for eclair, froyo, gingerbread, or honeycomb

Those files are not the superuser app but the superuser binary. They should be flashed thru recovery just like a rom. No need to uninstall the su app. You can update the su app thru the market. Also you can update the binary thru the menu / preferences of the su app.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowman4000:
Yeah that was my problem before. The binary update would fail trying to update through the app. Hopefully flashing this will fix it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
New superuser app v3.0.6 and binary v3.0.1 update have been released, and at least on my phone have solved all of the issues of the previous update.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hand76:
Just updated to 3.06 but when I try to update the binary it tells me I need S-off which I already have.

If I download the .zip from rom manager I can just do it as a .zip update in clockwork?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Yes you can flash the zip thru recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aweaver33:
3.0.6 is working much better for me, although the Changelog stops at 3.0.5.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tygib:
this

3.0.6 is working perfect now, yay :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hand76:
Just a soon as I flashed the new binary, there is another update, and just like the last one this one doesnt flash through the app either.

I have S-OFF whats the deal!!!!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Redeyedrichard:
BATTERY

So my Android ROM is absolutely killing my battery. For example I will start using my phone at about 9am, by about 12 it is about ready to plug back in. I've found I'm plugging my phone in numerous times a day. I don't necessarily use it too much either or have anything running in the background. I frequently use the task killer to be sure of this. I love using Android on my phone, but surely there has to be something that could help me with this. I'm using the MCCM HD V6 ROM.

DATA USAGE

I got a text from my carrier that said I had almost used up my 500mb data allowance. I have an iPad and use that all the time for my portable web browsing, I rarely use my phone for any browsing. Any ideas? And the HTC Hub isn't signed in so I can't see it being that causing the issue like has been mentioned in other threads.

Thank you in advance guys. :D

I have problem with restoring my stock recovery...

I`ve use revolutionary,CWM 5.0, than Revolution HD Rom, Nanodroid itd... S-off ofc

I`ve used Nanodroid and I have my system.img; recovery.img; data;cache; etc

I have some stock ROM with TMobile custom from Germany and I cant find RUU (exatly the same) on www :-(

I easily restore my system.img and I go back from REVOL to my stock ROM, but i really need to restore my stock recovery... and lose CWM 5.0 so i can bring phone back....

so big Q...How to do it without using RUU.exe ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stennett:
As the title says really the screen on my nexus s has broken, I now can't see a single thing on it.

Basically I need to get some Data of the phone is their a way to get it into mass storage mode with out using the screen?

After getting some stuff of the phone I then want to clear all the data off the phone, I'm thinking I may need to use Odin?

Any help really appreciated!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if youre bootloader unlocked and have a custom recovery, you can access your sd storage through the recovery. what happened to your phone that made the screen not work?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stennett:
the phones rooted, however I never unlocked my bootloader sadly.

Basically I'm not to sure, the phone was dropped and was fine at first but then the following day the screen was unreadable at the top about 3cm down, within three days it just spread down the phone, Now I can't see anything, the screen isn't smashed or broken. I know nothing about this sort of thing so have brought a Galaxy s2 I'm just hopping I can get some photos off ect.

But I don't know how much it will cost to get the screen repaired or if it's worth it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YourMainDude:
O.o wait is that even possible to be rooted and have the bootloader locked ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
Yes. You can root then relock the bootloader or use an exploit like gingerbreak
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ka24e:
You can also buy a replacement screen on eBay for 75 bucks... also do you not have warranty?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsteven77x:
Well if nothing else you learned your lesson about relocking that bootloader. Unnecessary to do so.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stennett:
I never needed to unlock the boot loader, so I certainly haven't relocked it.

I brought the phone 10 months ago, need to check my warranty to be honest but I'm pretty sure it will be void anyway due to rooting?

That's why I wanted to put the phone back to factory state to see if I can get it fixed under warranty

I take it there is no over way to get the phone into mass storage?

Thanks for your help.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxrivertrekker:
I have successfully installed the hdmi hack, and it has completely disabled my hdmi port. Nothing happens when i plug in hdmi

Also, when putting in the adb commands, when u get to su to start superuser, it should be mentioned that you have to run superuser on your phone at that point so that you can allow it from cmd. Otherwise you dont know whether youre doing anything or not from that point on. But like i said, it doesnt work at all now anyway.

I also tried using CWM but that didnt work either. Anyone have a guide to doing this or know that it actually works for sure?? Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
Just for future reference, the starting cursor for the cmd line should change from '$' to '#' once you've approved SU access on the phone. That's an easy way to know if you have access right from the cmd line.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaous2000:
To add on to the previous post, and assuming your phone is rooted and unlocked, your phone should have been through adb commands already and the phone would have asked for SU permission only once. Assuming you clicked remember.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxrivertrekker:
I dont know what i did wrong then, but now i have no hdmi at all.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaous2000:
Have you searched the q&a section for hdmi problems?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxrivertrekker:
thank you yes i have run the zip from ronaldo and it detects the hdmi now, but webtop doesnt work just the other options. unless theres an EASY fix ill probly just leave at that and start a new thread with another noob question :) dont need the webtop just thought it was cool
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaous2000:
Hmm, well I went be of much help with that, this is all new to me a well. I do how you find something to fix your webtop problem.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
Did you flash the modified webtop through fastboot?

let me clarify, the HDMI hack just allows you to access the webtop; you still need to flash the webtop.img to get a webtop that will boot up properly through the HDMI cable.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxrivertrekker:
sure right when i'm about to give up you tell me this vital information that has somehow eluded me... !!! Thanks i'll give that a shot as soon as my battery comes up from being drained reading threads!! :D

I dont suppose you can tell me where to find it and how to do that? I found a webtop fixed img thread but dont really understand what i need to do there? Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxrivertrekker:
that was it thanks bro, i dont feel like such a noob now
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malickie:
Wow I didn't think it was that hard to get the webtop hack. All I ever did was flash a Rom that already had it and boom it worked. Now if I ever flash a Rom that doesn't have it this information would help I suppose provided it didn't soft brick the actual Rom I am on.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxrivertrekker:
no, i just made it more difficult than it should of been because i didnt know that i needed the desktop or if my rom had it already cuz it was a phone i got on ebay. Webtop is awsome though my thanks go out to the guys who made the hack, we dont need no stinkin dock!

Acer has a single pricing repair .The cost for this in the us.is.199.99 dollars. I have called them in the past. However I do not know about just fixing a bootloader issue. Something that they should give a way to the end user to do from there home.but then again they lock these devices to protect software rights of digital copyright and so on.

Call them but be honest as to what you done.They will figure it out anyway.

You can also contact sc2k here on this forum.He might be able to help you.

turn out iconia

turn it on

if you are in APX mode (look in sys settings> devices and printer), youre good to go

it will check for versions

you get message: Connected ?

You interrupted the update...this is something you should never do when updating a devices firmware/bootloader and your tablet probably has an incomplete firmware/bootloader, as a result.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Kolero:
Just wondering if there's a simple way to edit a MIUI theme? I have Formel's MIUI Mod (now known as KelLMSKing, but I'm still running Formel's last one), and I downloaded the Dark Blue theme from the new one. I like certain aspects of the theme, but other aspects of the original one so I've mixed and matched the two themes for what I like .. almost. The last change I'd like to make: How can I edit the font colour in the pulldown notification bar?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Kolero:
Fixed.. sort of

I fixed this.. sort of.

I downloaded a dark theme that would have the black pulldown notification bar, then when I installed it I de-selected everything (fonts, icons, lockscreen, etc) and selected only the "Theme" which makes the text in the notification easy to read and actual usable checkboxes.

Posting this in case it helps anyone else.
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
I just want to get a bead on what is going on here.

I was window Shopping in the Sprint store this morning & a guy had an OG EVO with a faulty charge port.

Before I go on, note the following:

He explained this issue to the floor reps & the floor rep told him that they would have to refer him to Asurion ($100+) & get the phone repaired or possibly replaced that way as he claimed it was physical damage.

This customer was no newb (assuming, sounded like he had a clue & a goal anyway) to how this works & explained that he knew this was a common issue as at least two people he knew of, had that same issue with the charge port failing. He did not mention their experience on getting this issue resolved. He called it a defect & it wasn't from him abusing or dropping the phone, which he happily showed in great condition. (I agreed, silently).

They talked back & forth- in small circles getting to this:

The Floor Rep (who sounded very sure of this) said there was nothing this Sprint store could do, they couldn't fix or get him a new/refurb phone because it was technically still considered physical damage.

This went back & forth for about 10 more minutes & the customer was pissed. (Didn't curse or get childish) but he was disgusted that we would have to pay $100 for a manufacturer defect & that the Sprint "repair" center couldn't help him.

He rode on this wave of anger & promptly asked to cancel his service with Sprint. The floor rep easily complied to start the process. :confused::eek::rolleyes: (Me thinking: WTF Idiot rep, get the manager!) I face-palmed after that & I left while they were going over the termination.

Now my question/s:

Was the rep right about what they couldn't do for that time of damage/defect? Was this the result because the customer lacking the TEP portion of his insurance?

Are some repair centers more capable than others for this type of damage?

Has some portions of coverage been removed recently aside from the "rarely charged for" $35 screen repairs?

Question for Sprint employees/ former employees: What options can you use to deter a customer from leaving in a situation like that? I feel the rep could've at least put up an inch of a fight to assist in a situation like that or request aid from a manager.

Excuse any spelling or editing errors.
[EVO 4G General] Hypeo:
I'm gonna go on a limb here and say that the sprint rep just wanted to show him who the boss was. I've never had any problems with the tech stores here repairing anything from broken screens to broken power buttons. Unless you bring your phone in two pieces or has been physically damaged they should warranty it out.
[EVO 4G General] dgomez720:
IMHO

The rep, IMHO, was incorrect for arguing with the customer over what was physical or man. defect. Being a Sprint TC, we are usually asked to go out and inspect the device, open it up and see whether the soldering points are intact or not. you can spot the difference rather quickly when it comes to defect or physical. The rep should have either gotten a TC involved or better yet a manager involved immediately. Most customers, and i mean that with all due respect to both parties, would much rather hear the reasoning from someone who is supposed to know what they are talking about. for some reason customers that i talk to seem to leave in a happier mood after speaking with me over the issue. I have had to step in during a heated discussion between a rep and a customer over issues like this, and I'm not even a lead, just a simple TC. Personally, I think it tends to sound a little more official from the person hired to actually WORK on the devices rather than hear from someone who simply sells it. We spend more time on our job opening them open and inspecting them, just like the reps spend their time selling customers on the device. just my opinion, I'm not looking to start a feud by any means :D
[EVO 4G General] Hypeo:
your response sounds more like a regular store experience for me..
