Root [CDMA] Am I rooted?

[scotty85]

i have gotten so far as too put a ROM on my phone, but i am not sure if my phone is rooted. I followed the guides on the thread, and everything went okay it seemed, but i went to my phones market to download a root checker and when it installed it said i wasnt rooted, im not sure if its reliable , but i would like some conformation, id appreciate the help, again let me know if you need more info.

what rom did you install? if you flashed a rotoed rom in recovery,then you should be rooted. i have never used a root checker,i always just open a root only app like titanium backup or root explorer... if the su pop up appears asking for permission,you can grant it,and then the app works,then you are rooted

if this is not happening,you can install or update superuser by flashing it in recovery.

i like this superuser: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 (download from the link that reads CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip)

There are also a few apps on the Play store that you can download and verify if you are rooted, I will post an Example below.

all time easiest way to find out....
open terminal emulator - type su hit enter
if it prompts you with a # you are rooted
if it prompts you with a $ you aren't


While it takes root to install a recovery to flash a ROM etc.
SOMETIMES SU can be corrupted - or you can download a rom that Doesn't have SU.

I posted an app because that is usually the easiest way for a newd, once you tell them to use commands, or terminal E, then we loose them.

Droid Razr user just installed [FONT=&quot]DROID RAZR Utility XT912 Jellybean -- Windows + Mac + Linux (All in One!) [/FONT] All went well, or so I thought. As told, i selected Ap Fastboot option to flash official JB and wipe all data. Once done, I selected another option, Dan Rosenberg exploit Rasr Blade to root.

Well, I thought all went well. No errors. I then saw Superuser in Apps, and installed titanium. I was asked to provide permissions. i was able to so for Titanium, but not for Voodoo. After reading forums for the past 24 hours, it was suggested that I remove all Superuser and SuperSu apps. Did that, and now Rootchecker tells me that i am not rooted.

Opened a terminal window and I see a $ instead of 3 sign. i am so lost. Can u advise what I should to do instead of banging my head against a wall

One sad and very tired lady! One sad and very hungry husband. I haven't left the PC all day! LOL
