Edit : just checked. My phone is running the newest updated but im gonna try to unroot and reroot one more time even though I already tried and it could not unroot.
So I went to install the new update via stock recovery and it seemed to work. I go check system settings and its still showing 2.3.2 and not the newest one. I go to try and root and it says everything works and my phone is rooted. Thing is there is no super user app that appeared on my last droid 2. What's the issue?

It might be that you just lost the app and just need to get it off the Market.

Yeah, I saw it was rooted and just went to market and got Superuser app and installed, I have root. I don't know why it did not show the superuser app even thought it said the apk was transfered.
Mine did the same. After I rooted using the one click method, it said it was a sucess. Tried to use Root Explorer, and it said failed getting superuser permission. Checke my SD card, and there was no Superuser.apk there. I copied it to the SD card from the one click directory, and it was sucessful. When trying to use Titanium Backup, had trouble with Busybox. Titanium downloaded a new Busybox, and all is now well.

I recently updated, using the files retrieved from this site, my rooted Bravo to 2.2.
Everyone posted saying it would unroot it in the process, however superuser is still there, and I cannot use it, get rid of it, or even reroot my phone. I need help :/

all you need to do is run superoneclick, choose psneuter and root it again. it disables the su binary when updated.

I tried, but then when I try using any program that requires root access, it can't find it. Rootexplorer, setCPU, and even your overclock app won't work.
Also, z4root won't even root/unroot. Crashes every time.
did you reboot after running s1c? I know I always forget to.
I was waiting to root my continuum until I got the new upgrade, which I expected months ago. Anyway I got the upgrade (froyo 2.2) and everything works great. I would like to root the phone, so I can tether it to my laptop.
I have seen older videos for other phones, but I was not sure they would work for the continuum, or if there is a newer easier way, as I am not tech savvy. I just want to work on my laptop as I run my kids to their after school activities.
Finally, which app works best for turning the phone into a hotspot.
Thanks in advance
The easiest way is to find superoneclick 2.3.3 That roots, nothing else.
The slightly more complicated way, is to flash a rooted version in Odin. And there are tutorials all over. You can also swing into IRC, and we can get ya going.

The kernel I included with the CWM recovery file will install the su binary for you. Get busybox and then install Superuser from the market and you'll be rooted.

Thanks. I've been playing with my Continuum now for several months with everyone's mods. Love the work you're all doing!
Question about installing ClockworkMod Recovery on Continuum.
Hi,
I am trying to figure out which version of CWM recovery is the appropriate, and most recent one for the continuum.
Can anyone point me to the correct file for the Samsung Continuum SCH-i-400.
Also, after I root the phone, how do I install CWM. Should I use a ROM manager, or do it manually?
Someone please help.
Thank you!!
You should try reading through the forums. I believe there is a thread that will have all necessary files.

I figured I'd post in this thread instead of making a new one since it seems to be a similar issue. I rooted my phone ages ago right when I got it using the super one click program. Everything was working fine as far as I could tell, until I had a app on my phone tell me that it wasn't in fact rooted. I assume it was because my phone updated to 2.2.2 by it self one evening causing me to lose root. I checked with a few other apps that used to work fine (Titatium Back being one of them) which also told me my phone wasn't rooted.
I downloaded the newest version of SuperOneClick (2.3.3) and tried to re-root my phone. The program said my phone was already rooted and asked if I wanted to continue. I clicked no and then tried the 'Unroot' option. The program hung up and stopped responding so I did a factory reset and tried again. When I tried to root it again the program still said my phone was rooted and Superuser was still in my app list with no option to uninstall. I went to the market to try and uninstall that way but there wasn't an option either. I tried the un-root option again and SOC still would ended up not responding at a certain point (Installing BusyBox Step 2).
I pulled my battery and just tried to root again, it gets to the point of installing Superuser and freezes. I tried downloading an uninstall root app which didn't even show superuser. I also downloaded root explorer and tried to delete the superuser.apk from the system/apps folder and it failed to DL.
I am at a loss for what to do and would really appreciate any help in getting my phone rooted. I am in USB debugging and never installed any ROMS or anything previously. If there is any other information that would help troubleshooting this please let me know.

Here's the problem. SOC see's the superuser.apk in your app drawer, so it thinks you are still rooted. You aren't because you no longer have the su.bin (which is the reason none of the apps you have - including the 'unroot' app will work.). The fix for this is easy. When SOC says 'you are already rooted, would you like to root again', or whatever that message is, click yes. The worst thing that will happen is it will overwrite existing files with the same one (Have you ever opened a word document, and when you close it, it asks if you want to save, even though you haven't made any changes? Same thing). In this case, the files you need (su.bin and busybox) AREN'T there. So you don't even overwrite anything.
For the most part, rooting this phone is a pretty failsafe, and innocuous process. You can do it over and over again, and you won't hurt the phone in the slightest.

Are there any other programs to use than SOC? When the dialog window pops up saying my phone is rooted I click yes, it goes through the process until it tries to install SuperUser. Once it get to that point it just freezes and is flagged as not responding by windows. Is there anything I should double check settings wise on my phone other than USB Debugging that could be causing the problem?

As far as straight rooting programs, soc is the only one I know of that works. You said a factory reset didn't remove superuser from your app drawer? It should have. I spills try a factory reset in recovery, as opposed to the privacy section of settings.
The other option is to flash a pre rooted rom. A little more dangerous, if you don't know what you are doing, but gaurunteed to work. I have a territorial in this section that seems to with for everyone that's tried it. Our, if you want I can meet you in irc tomorrow evening, and we can look at it.

That's why I'm getting frustrated, after two factory resets through the privacy menu superuser is still in my app drawer. I think because it's flagged as a system file it isn't really touched when the phone restores it self. Are there any programs that would give me root folder access through my PC?
I really don't know much about doing anything with these phones, so I'd be a bit apprehensive about flashing new ROMs or anything that could brick my phone if I mess up. How can I reset it through the recovery menu? That at least sounds like something has a low chance of causing any irreparable damage.
I'm not sure if I think I'll be around later this evening, I'm on the east coast and don't think I'll be available until after 9pm.

To reset in recovery, power down completely. Then hold the vol up, vol down, and power at the same time, until samsung logo comes up. It will color you into stock recovery (3e)
Using volume down to scroll, and camera button to select, choose wipe data/factory reset.
Next, scroll to yes, and select. Not sure if that will work to get rid of super user, but it's worth a shot.
If that direct with, let new knits, and I'll walk you through flashing a custom recovery, then a deodexed rom, if you'd like.

I didnt get this right..
Do you want to know if your phone is still rooted? If yes please follow these steps under:
Open terminal app. your prompt should be $. Type in "su" and hit Enter. If prompt changes to #, you are rooted. If you get "Access denied", you are not.

If you took the 6.3 update you will have to root again download root checker click verify root if it comes up with red writting your not rooted if if comes up green you somehow retained root although unlikely

Install busybox installer from the market and install/update busybox. See if that fixes your issues. Also try installing SuperSu from the market, opening it, and updating su binary when it opens.
Did you run the busybox free app?

Did you have the apps that use root before you rooted? I've noticed with some apps (that work with and without root) sometimes dont register that root is installed on your device so perhaps you should try redownloading them from the play store.

He should've used voodoo over the air rootkeeper to back up n save his root. So once you update, you can easily restore rot with one click in that app instead of having to use roottoolkit again.
