1st i am new to rooting (n00b)
yesterday i successfuly rooted my x10 mini pro using superoneclick,xrecovery and installed android 2.3.3,i wasnt totally happy (i was trying to get it working as a wifi hotspot using quicksettings and wifi tether to no aveil and every few hours it would blackscreen or reboot) it also has root explorer, titanium backup,buzybox installed.
today i used xrecovery to go back to 2.1 (luckily i backed up whew!) and was going to give 2.3.5 a try (MiniCM7Pro-v6) it was all fine i was using root explorer to move and delete some music files, and the mount r/w r/o was working. at some point i tried running buzybox and it said 'error-root access not detected' i went into superuser clicked forget and restarted app,no change, superuser will not grant root for any prog,i started root explorer and now i cant change the mount to r/w.i read try rerooting,so i did (with same prog) it said phone was already rooted, i tried rerooting,it all went ok until it done a su test 'test failed'..now im at a total loss as what todo, read alot of threads an tried diff methods including running adb mask controller as guided by thread,it's obviously something ive done but what? cannot get back into xrecovery either, any help much appreciated..sorry for the essay but ive been at it all day! il paste a copy of what superoneclick says when i tried rerooting below. thank you for even reading this :confused:

wow! thank you, i didnt think the phone cld be unrooted by se update..but i used pc companion and did a hard reset, it put the same 2.1 back on and left the phone unrooted so was able to use superoneclick again to re-root, so simple in the end, i was over thinking the whole thing, i guess thats why this site is so awesome, just getting a new fresh brain to look at it! ok now onto flashing and finding a good stable rom to load up,any advice? again thankyou! :)

SU command test suceeds, but still not rooted.

I have a similar problem. I get the message:

--snipp-----
"Installing su (/system/xbin)... - Step #2
No such user '0:0'
OK 0.02s"
----snap-----

similar to smallz2k, but the su test command finishes sucessfully. But when I check for root access on the phone, there is none. When I tried to unroot via super1click. It couldn't get Android Version nor any other data like device version number etc. Initial test routines.
Then I reset the phone via PC Companion and tried it again with same results.
Where do I go wrong? Any hints? Is my description detailed enough?

You've dug up a thread That's almost a year old. Start another, someone will help.
My best idea is use flashtool to root. That's what I've done for every U20 I've had to root and it's always worked
