hmmm did everything as instructed no errors in terminal emulator..rebooted still dont have root hmmm? did i miss something ..now when i did the ota ics leak i did the voodoo roote keeper ...i did protect my roote but i didnt try to unroote before ics. is that a problem.

Not really an option, you can't reach root files in ES nor operate ROM Manager without root acess, so no, it's nothing you did.

Someone wanna explain why /system is being remounted as yaffs2 when it's an ext3 filesystem?

[SandmanEight]

Worked for me as well after the ICS Vicious sideloader method!

I initially had problems after flashing where running su in the terminal emulator would return Permission Denied after 10 seconds or so and none of my applications using root worked correctly. I had used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to backup my root as well and did not temporarily unroot.

Is anyone still having this problem? I've found a solution but if no one is having the problem, I don't see any reason to release it.

I will contact you by private message as it needs to be tested by a problematic phone.

However, I have gotten it to work by hand and have tested my automated method on my phone.

If it works for you, I'll post it for anyone to use.

looking for help,

on the last set of commands I get the cp/system/su-backup/system/bin/su: not found 127[ roo@cdma_spyder: / #

[ddemlong]

I am gonna try to flash back to .173 on a clean slate install voodoo again, root, and sideload ics. If I can't keep root I can wait for the official or a sure way of rooting is found.

[ddemlong]

OMG FINALLY....

I re flashed, installed voodoo, went through terminal and finally got it back. I wonder if it had anything to do with my phone being plugged into a computer.

[mgarney26]

just did mine...thanls pill and dhacker!

[icemans2k02]

Thanks for the write up! Worked great.

Restored back to .174, rooted, and installed voodoo. backed up root
Installed ICS and actually did a combo of using voodoo to restore and d hackers method.
Also I did not "temp unroot" only backed up using voodoo.

Its nice having native screen shot!

[tucstwo]

Um, help??? I just read this whole thread and saw nothing about this error. I did back up su before update, voodoo even says the back up is there and that my phone is rooted but it's not. Su-backup is on my phone as well but I keep getting this.

you forgot half of the command lmao "rw,rem" isn't a command

[sjskent]

These steps worked for me. Big thanks to PC!! I had to do it a couple of times because i missed some key spaces in the code. This sequence and the spacing is critical. Maybe this is elementry but it was the difference for me. The red _ below signify where the spaces go in the commands.

• /system/su-backup
• mount_-o_rw,remount_-t yaffs2_/dev/block/system_/system
• cp_/system/su-backup_/system/bin/su

Hope this helps a bit and isnt too noob to point out.

Also, you can verify that you have the su-backup in your system folder using root explorer before starting to ensure that it exists. Might save some time.

I didn't forget it, I stopped typing the command when I got the no permission error. I'm trying to figure out why that happened before I go further. This method has not worked for me yet. If anyone knows what that error means and can help me I would appreciate it.
