try this

I did not move su file. Installed 2.2 update. Lost root. Shut down. Turned on phone. Root was restored.

I put the phone back to 2.1 using the sbf procedure, then I rooted 2.1 again (this time moving the su file to the xbin folder. Then I installed froyo again. This time I did NOT lose root! The lesson I learned here is to follow ALL of the instructions..... back in business!

:icon_ banana:Success..Finally got Root back after losing it today from updating to Froyo. Even though I did move su to xbin, I had lost root. Here's what I did:

In Terminal Emulator:

/system/xbin/su (if you moved your su to the xbin before updating, this should grant you permission and you should see the # symbol)

Type the following after the previous command:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/system /system
mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/su.bak
cd /system/xbin/
cp su ../bin/

Again this only worked for me because I actually did move my su to the xbin directory prior to updating. Thanks Fwaggle and Jbeck22 at Mydroidworld for the scripts.

I moved my SU to
/system/su
before I upgraded, I messed up, thought i moved it to xbin, I tried running
/system/su
and following the directions above, hoping to get somewhere, does anyone have an idea how I can proceed? thanks....

If su won't run from /system/su, or if it says "permission denied" - chances are you've lost root, and your only recourse will be to SBF back to 2.1, reroot, and re-upgrade... or to wait for a local root exploit for android 2.2 that works on these phones.

If you get a # prompt after /system/su, mv /system/su /system/bin/su should do the trick. If you get read-only filesystem error, you need to enter the "mount" command elsewhere in the thread first.

Hope that helps.

yeah Im getting permission denied after /system/su

I tried to "move" code and I get read only file, thanks for trying, it helped me learn a little more about the terminal and Android

For all of us that screwed up the 2.1 to 2.2 we can now root without having to go back to 2.1!

The wait is over. I was rooted on 2.1 and followed the wrong directions when I upgraded to 2.2 so I lost root. Follow the instructions for How to root Droid 2 . It worked for me! Like I said I was rooted in 2.1 and lost it so I have no idea if it will work for someone that never had root. I followed the instuctions from post #1 and post #7. #7 makes changes to post #1 so read them both before you start. I also had to give full path to the c: drive when I did the adb push. After I finished the phone still acted as no root but after a battery pull it works now. Enjoy!
