[Q] Any one got a Verizon OTA 2 nights ago?

[kschang]

I got an OTA on Friday night or Saturday morning. Didn't notice any changes.

Next day, I realized I lost root. TiB says root access is denied. SuperUser is still installed, so that's not the problem. It's not even ASKING any more.

I tried running pSouza's one-click root, it failed in the third step. This was using 1.06 off Rootzwiki. I went to PSouza4's website and downloaded 1.07, and tried it again. Same thing.

Strangely my system (about phone) still says 5.5.893 (baseband CDMA_N_03.1c.57R ltdec_u_05.15.01), build number 5.5.1_84_DBN-21 so somehow I never got the 901 update. It stills says I'm on 2.3.4, but the exploit no longer works.

Any ideas?

If superuser is still installed can you go into it and check root status? Does this happen with every root app? Could you have maybe accidently denied TiB at the prompt or set Superuser to automatically deny apps? Try running rootchecker.

I went into SuperUser and it says TiB is still allowed. But when I run TiB it says root was denied.

Root Checker confirms: no root.

I tried 43V3R root and that failed too.

I got the same problem as this guy:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440047

Confirmed that PSouza4's one click root, 43V3R root don't work on this latest OTA I got 2 nights ago.

If someone can tell me what to grab I can do ADB dumps or whatever's needed.

I had that happen to me as well. Turns out for me, that on .893, the automatic script failed. Doing it using the manual guide here in the dev forum did work.

Try going into super user settings and check for an update for the binary..an outdated binary can cause the root being denied

You can root 5.5.893 with this. Uses the oldschool zergrush.

Thanks for the reminder. The oldschool zergrush worked.
