[Resolved] Recovery installed but no root access

---

I used AlphaRevx to achieve S-OFF and when it asked if I wanted the CWM recovery, I said yes. It installed the recovery properly. I have SU. However, if I try to run Titanium, it says that there is no root access. I have rebooted several times. I tried to flash CM7 and it was stuck in a bootloop. Downloaded from the mirror and it booted up fine. I tried playing around with ROM Manager while I was booted into CM7 and it told me there was no recovery image on the root of the SD card.

Hopefully it's just something simple that I'm overlooking. Any suggestions?

Another thing I though was weird is that I couldn't sync to Gmail while booted into CM7.

To gain root access on the stock rom, you first have to flash thisthrought recovery.

I actually did flash that as well. Still had the same results.

Should I have removed the SU file that was already installed on the sd card and then flashed the patch?

Hmm weird, maybe try flashing one of these 2 roms
this
or
this
Both are based off the stock froyo rom, debloated and rooted.

I'll probably give that a try in a little bit. I suspect that it will not work as I didn't even have root access with CM7 installed.

Maybe before you flash clear all the data at least 2 times, do a factory reset, and clear the dalvik cache. If nothing works try the manual way to flash CWM and reflash it.

I only wiped data/cache once before I flashed each time. I'll try wiping more than once next time.

Do you think I could have flashed a corrupt file for SU?

Make sure you wipe /data, /cache, /system before you flash any rom. If you do this it removes the chances for errors to occur. if you flashed CM7 over the original /system, you might have corrupted the su file.

I don't think that I did, but it is possible. I'll first start by removing the SU file that is on there now and then flashing the patch that you posted up. I'll update after I do that.

I have to wait though, my battery is dead.

Thanks for your help!

No problem. If you didn't format the /system before you flashed CM7, you flashed over the original /system, sometimes it makes no difference, sometimes it messes stuff up. Kinda hit or miss.
