The loss of root...kinda

[buddyfunlove]

Hi All,

Ok, throwing this out there because I have had this happen a few times and was wondering if I am missing something.

I went to flash CM7 (beta) that belber always boasts about to see what the big deal is. No camera or mms working, but was bored and curious. So, I delete all cashe x 3, delv x 3 and data x3. Flash it, reboot...WORKED! Until...I download Titanium to restore and it says I do not have root access. Ok, Titanium has been acting funny, so I go to CPU and says, no root status...crap. Check super user and all look good, try another root based ap...super user cannot find root. *sigh* This ROM was flying too...so smooth...made me sad.

SO...back to recovery (obviously I have root) and flashed EF, OTB and then my backup and I am right where I was, fully rooted all aps working properly.

This happened once before when I flashed a ROM pre 2.2. Any ideas or what I could do when I try it again? I was going to reflash after wiping data and cache again...but it was getting late and I needed the phone operational for the morning.

Thanks guys...sorry so wordy.

I think there is another su package you can dl and flash via recovery to get root back. I'm pretty sure I read it's a known problem though.

Also, is it pk's version? Try titanium in landscaper mode. I've read that works

Check your PM's buddy
No fix for this yet, so I wouldn't bother with SU packages.

I'm confused. So flashing CM7 and losing root is a known issue in CM7? And there is no way to restore it?

There is some root bug with Kaoscinate. Some apps can only achieve root access in landscape, some can't at all. I stopped following the newest release when I saw all of this taking place. JT's CM7 has far fewer bugs.

The fact the camera doesnt work is a deal breaker...but I wanted to try it to see what the deal with it is. It is a work in progress but coming along very nicely. It was crazy smooth and fast...for what was working...lol

Same thing happened to me when i flashed to Kaosinate. Tried it multiple times. Most apps would keep trying root access in the background and failing, making the phone pretty much unusable with all the notifications. I went back to 2.9.2 via backup, but now anytime i touch my screen, or when it switches form wifi to 3g, it makes static through the audio. Like as if its analog interference, though its only from digital interactions.. weirdest thing.

You should wipe data.

And kaoscinate is still in alpha for a reason. Its root ready to be a daily rom.
