Superuser visible but not rooted?

[Guest Phatrick]

Hi Guys,

I was pretty sure that i rooted my HTC Desire when i first got it back in Sept, forgot which method i used but apparently if 'SuperUser Permissions' show up on your Apps Draw thats a sign that the phone is rooted.

I just tried installing a few apps that require root but they keep saying that the phone needs to be Rooted before they can run. Upto this point im still not sure if my phone is rooted or not lol any advice?

Thanks :)

Did you get it new? It's on the o2 UK FroYo ROM at present...

Turn the phone off and turn it on again holding volume down. Once on the white screen, select 'Recovery' and press power to select. If it comes up in a custom Recovery then you're rooted

Never had any problems apart from Adblock with S-ON but some of the apps may need your phone to be S-OFF, if this isn't the root (no pun intended) of the problem, then just ignore this post.
