I can't seem to UN root my phone. In the app it DOES say your device is UNrooted but then apps like root explorer and setCPU still function. So I re rooted ( it didn't really UN root so tech. I really didn't re root) jus to see super user app and nothing shows up in the app permissions. WTF is going on. Also when I install root applications super user does not even pop up asking for permissions. I recently installed busy box so I can get titanium to work..titanium hangs on the loading screen but this only started to happen after I tried UN rooting.
I used this app to root my phone so it should UN root it.
I guess its okay but will this prevent me from updating to froyo when the update is launched.
devs please reply.

Root explorer will get rid of SU
You have to delete from 3 places in the system section I just can't remember which 3. I did it on the TF101 and it works
Your dont need root to do it but you may need the paid version of Root Explorer

good luck.
Depending on how you rooted, the superuser app is probably installed to /system. If this is the case then you can only remove it by doing a full root followed by an unroot.

Thanks for the help, but I've since re-rooted via viper mods tool. And actually just unlocked the bl.

I tried using the viperMod and I still couldnt get su permission, what is wrong. It is in the system files and I tried deleting them with the ROOT Explorer app stated above and nothing worked. What am I doing Wrong?
EDIT: sorry I didn't notice that jmikeb92 was not the OP. So this post probably makes no sense.

If I were you I'd root using mempodroid, install the su binary, then use a terminal shell to remove all traces of root (ie: superuser apk, busybox, su).
Another thing you can do is check the permissions on your su binary. Not sure where vipermod puts it, probably in /system/xbin. Check that it is setuid at least. If it is not, that's your problem. In this case gain root using mempodroid and setuid the sucker.

I literally have no idea how to do the binary code stuff. Ind of a noob when it comes to that. Is it terribly difficult?

No it is not difficult but you would need some knowledge of linux security. For example what setuid/setgid is, how to change file ownership, how to change file permissions.
There are lots of resources out there if you are interested in that sort of thing.
Hi,
I had this problem and spent hours before I could figure out how to remove Superuser.
Maybe you can try this method:
First, download Root Browser Lite from the market. It's like Root Explorer, but it's free and can work with both rooted and unrooted device. Then, open it and go to system>app. Inside the folder, delete the file 'Superuser.apk'. When it's done, power off to restart the phone.
If that doesn't work, you can do what I did. Search for Superuser in the market and try to uninstall from there. It may take a while. After that if the dead shortcut still appears in the app drawer, you can just reboot the phone and it'll be gone.
For those whose phones are rooted and have Titanium Backup, you can use that to delete the file, too.
Hope it helps.

I tried that method but it says failed to delete superuser.apk, same thing on root explorer

open drawer, put your finger on the superuser app and hold for a few sec. After drawer goes away, keep on holding it. You will see "App Info" at the top of your screen. Move the superuser there and menu will pop up. Clear cash and disable the app. Now it should be gone.
I hope i helped you
Sorry if i made a mistake. English is my second language.
I rooted using the method here: [04/Jan][ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit) - xda-developers
I was a Samsung Fascinate owner so this is not my first time rooting. Last night I purchased a video from the market and could not watch it bc I was rooted. Instead of downloading the apk which is supposed to work around this, I decided I would rather unroot. My purpose for rooting was to use free wifi tether which I hadn't gotten to work anyway.
So I used the unroot method found above and it does restart my phone but the Superuser app is still in my app drawer. I tried unrooting twice more: didn't work. So I tried to root again using the above process but unlike my first time where I received a conformation message, I received nothing and the cmd prompt actually closed.
Now, I have the superuser app in the drawer. I tried to use screenshot & a wifi tether app. They both told me I needed to be rooted to use them. I downloaded Linda file manager and looked in the system/apps and did not see superuser.apk there.
I found this and tried it as well: How to Unroot Droid Razr! | DroidRazrRoot.com. It did not help. At this point, I have no idea what to do.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You have the updated su from market, it doesn't mean you are still rooted, as your own tests have proved. Look in My Apps and uninstall the updated su. You're good.
That was exactly it! Thank you SO much!

Rooted my Motorola Atrix 4G using PetesMotorolaRootTools v1.07 and found that it wasn't much use for me.
When I tried using the barclays mobile banking app, I got the error that my phone was rooted so I couldn't use it.
I tried to factory reset my phone to unroot it but still couldn't use the app.
I tried to unroot using the same PetesMotorolaRootTools v1.07 but same result.
I tried flashing an SBF of the original stock using RSDlite but again, same story.
I've typed in 'su' into the android terminal emulator and it was not found! And I've checked with the root checker basic app whether my phone is rooted and it says it isn't!
I've also tried uninstalled and re-instaling the app but still no good.
I have no idea what to do
System version: 45.31.2.MB860.T-Mobile.en.GB
Android Version: 2.3.4
Build number: 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.2
SBF I used: 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.2-release-keys-signed-T-Mobile-GB.sbf
Any help given will be appreciated, thanks
Have you tried root checker from play store to see if you're phone is in fact rooted? I'm sure you can download su from market. If you're able to, try denying root access to that app.

Yeah I've checked multiple times using that app but it always says I'm not rooted!
How do you deny root access to that specific app? Not sure how to do that
Try rooting again, then install SuperSU from gplay. Then in SuperSU under Settings select Full Unroot.

the same thing happened to me. I think the update they sent my phone that auto updated, p[ut me on the new software so I can't root my phone. I downloaded super su thinking it was rooted, but when i open the app there are no applications in the apps section and no logs in the logs section, etc... Now I can't delete the supersu app.
Any help from anyone in these forums would be great!
Did you try a root app to see if it worked for you like titanium backup.

OP, go into the IRC channel. go to webchat.freenode.net. Fill out your nickname and copy "#lg-optimus-g" without the quotes into the "Channels" text entry field. Fill out the "captcha" and join the channel. Eventually someone like Shelnutt2 or IOMonster_work/IOMonster_desk, or someone like them will help you. I'd wager that it's not impossible to root your phone, and that after you root it you should unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery so that it's impossible for the LG/AT&T OTA updates to break your root, since the LG FOTA utility uses the stock proprietary to flash the OTA.
