Default [Q] Lost root after MIUI

Hey Guys,
I looked for a specific post relating to my issue, but I couldn't find one. I just installed MIUI 111250 on my Verizon Droid Incredible. I've been rooted since day one, and up until now I have been on skyraider with NO problems. I used rom manager to move over, and I cleared all the data. The ROM installed with no issues, but I cannot access root with any of my apps. They are requesting permission, and I have granted them permission, but no luck. I've checked the SU app, and everything is enabled (including manage permissions). Has anyone else had this problem. Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions.

Do you have Busy Box installed? I have had this similar issue before and installing busy box off the market cleared it up for me.

I've tried installing busybox, but it will not let me. I actually tried both installers with no success. Any other ideas?

You can RUU to stock and re-root using unrevoked. Just make sure you use the Froyo RUU. After that try installing MIUI again...

Default RE: RUU

A little more info..... I downloaded "Root Checker", and it is telling me that I have root. This seems really weird to me! I am going to try flashing CM7 to see if I have root with that ROM. I will keep let you guys know how it goes.

Default RE: RUU

Is there a specific way you recommend to RUU? I tried using ADB shell, but I get permission denied when I do CHMOD. Do you have a better idea? Isn't there an exe out there that will do this for me? Thanks!

Check out pvillecomp.com I think the froyo ruu is there. I'm not by a pc right now otherwise id be able to point you in the right direction. Make sure you use the froyo ruu so that you can root with unrevoked.

I doubt an RUU is necessary in this situation, it sounds like an issue with superuser. Try downloading "superuser update fixer" from the market and see if that fixes your problem. This isn't a rom issue, it's a SU issue. Did you update SU through the market?

Default Fixed it....

I am not sure what the problem was, but I am leaning towards it being a SU issue. Whatever the case, I reflashed the rom (this time from clockwork directly instead of ROM manager). This did the trick! Thank you guys for all of your help.
