Root Explorer without the "Root" part?

Hey guys,

I just purchased Root Explorer cause I thought it would be a good App to have. I have already felt the need for it a few times (mostly in the form of wanting to copy to /system without using terminal)... But, it just doesn't want root access.

I have rooted my phone (HTC Desire) and it is running 2.2. I know the phone is rooted because all the other apps that I have that require root, work just fine; and also because that "SU" trick in terminal returns the "#".

But, whatever I do (clear cache, re-install) Root Explorer just gives me this:

Root access could not be obtained because su failed with the following message:

FIX ME! implement ttyname() bionic/libc/bionic/stubs.c:360

Make sure you granted root permission when requested by SuperUser. If you did then try re-rooting your device.

Root Explorer will continue in non-root mode.

...What is this? I do not want to have to re-root, as I'm sure it is rooted correctly in the first place. :(

Thanks guys,

Strange. I've never had issues with it.

EDIT: I googled your error and came up with this. While it is referring to a different app they say a restore worked.
 
Nevermind, the latest update for Root Explorer seems to have fixed it. Despite the changelog not having anything relevant to my problem... Either way, it works now :)

Thanks guys :)

Most likely your installation was corrupted somehow, and when you installed the update, it totally replaces the application - thus fixing the corruption.
