No root after nandroid restore

[Guest Daniel Williamson]

So heres my problem i have the r6 2.1 rom installed, and every time a return back to a nandroid backup when rebooted my root access seems to just dissappear. I still have superuser permissions but when typing su in the terminal emulator it says access denied.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dan

Only wanted to pinch in to say that you're not the only one with this problem, it is very odd indeed. I've looked over the permissions of su after a backup, and nothing there looks wrong to me...

Edit: Oh, and I'm using the R4 version, so the problem occurs on backups of earlier roms as well.

Hi i found a fix for it, not permanent but still works :) just type this in adb:

adb remount

adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

Odd, that's what I've been trying, different chmods, and that one doesn't work for me either. I'm starting to begin to think that somehow it's Superuser.apks fault. It doesn't ask for me to allow anything, nor does it have a permission given to /system/bin/sh such as it does in your screenshot.

Would I perhaps need to have certain chmod on /system/bin/sh as well?

Thanks!
