    Unhappy Lost Root

    Has anyone else lost root privileges? I looked on my phone this morning and it had a pop up with an message about software update to 1.3.x.x (did not write it down). I can no longer su and the SuperUser.apk was not running. Even if I relaunch the SuperUser,apk I can't su anymore. I get permission denied.

    Yeah, same thing happened to mine. This guy said he was able to re-root his phone.

    I just ran the V1 root procedure from last week. I did not apply an update.

    I had to go through the whole process again but was able to successfully root my phone again.

    Does anyone know of a way to block the OTA update? Perhaps filling up the phone so that there's no room to put anything in the /cache folder?

    I rooted after the OTA and just cranked up wireless tether to make sure I was still A-otay. Did any of you perhaps upgrade to .604 manually?

    I lost root as well after upgrading to 604. I have tried several times with no luck. Anyone else have the same problem? System version is 1.13.604.MB810.Verizon.en.US

    Kept rebooting and failing upgrade until I put the bloat back on then updated just fine. Went to root after and no luck.
