Hmm... I have the same problem. AndRoot won't root it either (fails, fu guu~~). I'm going to try a wipe.

--edit
Nope.

$ adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted

Which bootloader do you have flashed?

Which ROM are you using I just tried it with the r6_de-oranged_lite and it was fine... I've not tried the bouyguesed one just yet tho...

The de-bouyguesed one from this thread!

Just tried flashing ChainsDD's Superuser 2.3.6.1, just a sec...

--edit
Nope, same thing, though now I have the superuser app.

--edit2
You know, I don't think adb remount etc. have ever worked for me... I remember something about something like a "ro.secure" setting... time for Google.

Oh, it seems the De-Bouyguesed ROM still has ro.secure set... opps...  glad it was just a beta

The De-Oranged ROM is set correctly tho...

Installed r6 and it seems that i get more signal bars (actually, 4 out of 4). I guess it is correct, because every other phone shows full bars here.

Rooted with androot and everything works as expected.

So far, so good.

Didn't think I was complaining! I didn't explore all of the possibilities I admit, and based much on Titanium Backup not working. Much apologies for any offence caused. I'm sure I'll give it another try sometime soon before eating my words...

Part of the problem with the Orange ROM is that as stock it did not come with a xbin's directory, which can cause problems for some root aplications, as it puts the SU into there...  thats why there is a sudo addon for the rom..

with r6 onwards I've included a AOSP version of xbin directory which should help things, but as far as Im aware ALL of the de-oranged ROMS have been root-able.

[weba]

I assume then that when i installed the Superuser binary it had no effect, didn't create an xbin dir, or just installed incorrectly. I'm curious to give your de-Bo ROM a try, I guess the same issue doesn't exist there?

i got the same message but ithen tried to root again and the second time it said it was rooted

[Sebastian404]

OK, the FAT version of the ROM is now up.

I've checked the Lite and Fat version, they are boot rooted 'out of the box', anyone having problems... see a doctor

[Just Wondering]

Is this rom based on 2.1 or 2.2 ?

I have tried it on my rooted SF (UK), and after R6 lite it was not rooted according to Titanium. Installed Androot, Busybox, rooted it, Superuser, and then Titanium. First time it ran fine, then the next start it complained again about not getting root access.

As to me the WiFi issue would be the only reason to swap, I have gone back to my backup of Modaco R4.

But thanks for the efforts, much appreciated!

Sebastian,

Do you know how to change the menu item colors to match the standard AOSP colors?

This would really smarten the build up.

Same here, tried the de_Bo ROM, no root prompt after asking for su in adb shell, Superuser binary wouldn't install (CWM's fault I think, "bad" zip), so I'm restoring MCRr4. Will be following progress on this though.

You've installed 2 different root applications?  At the same time?

I've never used titanium, it maybe an issue with that, I will look into it I guess

Hi again Sebastian,

I've been messing with my own blade ROM also based on the French rom and you need to put su in /system/xbin or it will be invalidated on the next boot. Also remove the /system/etc/customize folder to unlock all languages.

All work fine for me except some apps that uses the google maps framework. I haven't tried your ROM but I've tried pauls R4 and it have the same problem. The thing is that exactly the same apps force close on my Huawei U8100 if I enable JIT. I'm starting to suspect that the ZTE eclair ROMs are JIT enabled but adding dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast to build.prop doesn't help.

Wrong, i just flashed both fat and lite and trying to use titanium backup or vm heap tool they both complain about not having root. Ive tried adb shell and su and nothing happens.

Dude where's your ROM?

Sorry, I wasn't very clear

I mean, if you're in an app and hit the Menu button, then menu is dark with light text. Standard Android has a light grey menu with dark text (like the notification bar)

Do you know how to change this, or how I can change it myself before flashing?
