Alright, This is for anyone who is having problems with root not working for some apps (Root Explorer Is an Example) IF some root apps will work but you don't get the pop-up requesting root access, there is a Fix!!

This is For anyone who was pre-rooted on 2.1 then updated to 2.2 then started having issues with being rooted.

Just follow these instructions made by rainabba @ alldroid.org

If you have /system/xbin/su and /system/app/Superuser.apk, but cannot use "Superuser" (no prompts from Superuser app, "permission denied" when you try to run "su"), just do the following:

Code:
Run "adb shell"
Run "/system/xbin/su"
Watch your screen for Superuser app to prompt for permission and click "allow"
Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system"
Run "cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su"
Run "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"
[optional] Run "mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/system /system"
