Do I have root?

[jtydroid]

Ok, so I am feeling quite ignorant...

I am running the latest Cyanogen Mod, I am overclocking my Droid, I use ROM manager and Clockwork Recovery. However, when I enter su into Terminal Emulator, I get a 'Permision Denied'.

Also, clicking the Ninja in my tray gives me a blank screen.

I have not installed busybox, nor superuser... is this the obvious missing link?

I have tried restoring to an earlier nandroid backup, but the same situation exists.

Any insights you can offer will be much appreciated.

If you're overclocking, then you have root. Not sure why you're getting a terminal error. Can you do anything? cd? ls?

 

[jtydroid]

I can ls, I can cd data, but when I try to ls there I get an error:

can't open '.': Permission denied

I mean, I don't get any errors from setCpu and Linpack shows high-9's, so I assume I am overclocking.

Weird, right?

The SU App should list all of the apps that need root access, since you say it's blank, I'm gonna say that something is jacked. Reroot if you can, or reflash. It sounds like it's not taking the exploit properly.

If you have cyanogen and rom manager working you were rooted once. What process did you use to root initially?

Can I just re-root as if I had stock 2.1?

 

[LtKen]

Shouldnt be a problem. Backup anything important just in case.

It was about a week ago, I went back to stock 2.01 and then combined a binary file with the stock 2.1 upgrade and upgraded.

I do recall reading that it wasn't actually rooting, but a workaround of some sort. Perhaps I never had true root?

File in #5 of my sig has 2.1 with root. Just rename update.zip and should be good to go.

You did. Just sometimes flashing a new ROM breaks root. It happens, all part of the fun.

You know, I tried that and got about a billion FC's. (I am very poor and guestimating numbers, it was more likely 100, but they just kept coming).

I will try again, perhaps something was amiss.

Now I get an error trying to apply sdcard:update.zip

assert failed apply_patch_check("/system/app/AccountandSyncSetting.apk", ....

Installation aborted.

Any ideas what that might mean?

Also remember to wipe data and cache before flashing new rom.

Oh, now I'm a bit confused. Do you mean to do that with ClockworkMod before I apply update.zip? If so, wiping the cache didn't prevent the error.

If you mean in the future as a preventative habit, I will absolutely do so.

 

[jstafford1]

It should work in clockwork as well as sprecovery. It what I used going from 2.0.1 to 2.1, exact same file.
