hey,im trying to unroot my htc aria with the universal rooting app but when i try to install the file on my device i get an error saying "for security, your phone is set to block installation..."
and when i click the "settings" i dont have the option ""allow installation of non-market applications"
how can i root my device without installing the clockworkmod recovory?
Thank you,
Yulia.
Only way you can because at&t blocked sideloading apps... unless you go on Google and type HTC sideloading machine or something like that.
Signatures are fancy.

Your question is very confusing. You are trying to use a rooting app to un-root your device? Your topic title mentions un-rooting but your last sentence asks how you can root. Not sure I follow.
If your Aria has the official ATT Froyo build you are probably not rooted and cannot root your phone with any downloaded app.

Android Central Sideloading Wonder Machine.
I'm also not to clear on what you're asking. But that program will allow you to install whatever app you want.

I'm having trouble with GladEnable.
I started with an unrooted Atrix on 1.5.7. I downloaded 1.8.3 using the motorola updater. I installed Gingerbreak on the phone and ran it. I think I am rooted now...I'm basing this off that I downloaded the free Titanium Backup from the market to the phone. When I run the backup app, it tells me my system won't allow me to restore settings and that I need to go into settings/applications and tick the "Unknown Sources' box. I don't have that box.
I extracted GladEnable to the C drive of my computer. I connect the phone, have USB debugging on and USB set to None. I run the gladenable.bat file.
It say up "Allow superuser request on phone". Then says files copied. It asks if I want to install sideloading, I type in "y" and hit enter. It says "Allow superuser request on phone". Then it says Permission denied.
I'm not concerned about tethering so I type "n", then the phone reboots.
I posted this question over at Android Central. Someone suggested to check mark the "Allow Mock Locations" under settings/applications/development. It tried that and then ran GladEnable. I got the exact same responses.
Why is the sideloading being denied? Am I tapping/not tapping something at the right time?
Thanks

If you can't get that to work, try it this way (have to download sqlite editor in the market)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13451234&postcount=22
If you are not rooted, it will not allow you to do this though. It will tell you if you are rooted when it asks for SU permissions
I was having the same issue. So I was going to try this too. I'm using root explorer cause thats what I have. Does that matter?
The question I have is I can't find that directory. I'm running a search now but it's taking forever.
Thanks!!

I'm a retard, I didn't ever find that directory but I tried the other method again and it worked.
I'm a Mac user and forgot to add the driver to my windows side in VMware. I rooted on the OSX side so I wasn't even thinking about it.
Thanks for the tip any way!

This is my first android and first time rooting. This sounds like it may be above my ability to try. I was panicky just doing the Gingerbreak method.
Here was a response at android central (in red) and my response on what I tried (in blue).
Sounds like you may or may not be rooted, and that you don't have "sideloading" setup. You need to find the sideloading app and install it. The installation will give you (after it's completed) the ability to install apps from unknown sources. That will appear in Settings, under Applications and you need to be sure that the box has a check mark in it. Do you see a Super User app in your app drawer? If you do, you can check and see if it has granted SU permission to any of the apps in your drawer. If it hasn't try running one of the apps that require you to be rooted, in order to work - like Root Explorer, ShootMe or Titanium Backup.
-Mike.
I see the Super User in my app drawer. I've only downloaded free Titanium Backup since I "rooted" the phone. (Again, I thought I was rooted because I was able to download Titanium Backup) Titanium Backup is the only app showing when I open the Super User app. When I tap on Titanium backup, it's status shows "Allow". Also, I can open Titanium Backup. I guess I can use it's basic functions, but I can't freeze anything since it's the free version. So I am assuming it is functioning.
Ok I just downloaded and installed ShootMe. (It nows shows up in the Superuser app along with Titanium Backup) When I open it, this is what it says.. Shootme has been granted Superuser permissions...Trying to start server....Failed starting server. Please check you have "Root" access on your device and enabled access to the lower level graphics.
So am I actually rooted? Can I run Gingerbreak again (I still have it on my phone), or will that cause more problems?
Which sideloading app are you referring too? I was using GladEnabler, without luck. Don
So does it sound like I'm rooted?
If not can I re-run Gingerbreak?
Will only root necessary apps show up in the SuperUser app, or should all my apps show up in it?
Thanks
Thanks

No, you have to have sqlite editor from the market to change the values. If you download that, you will see what I am talking about.
Most people use sqlite on the pc when you change the values, so this is almost easier to do on the phone in this case since there is an app for it.

Yea, you should be able to rerun Gingerbreak if it was not successful at first.
You can sideload Gingerbreak with the Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine if you like.
And No, it doesn't sound like you are rooted fully.
So I have been following the NOOB GUIDE sticky thread and the Tutorial to achieve root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925400
I've got superuser in my apps (which means it's rooted right?) and I've downloaded Super Manager so I can get rid of the junk stock apps.
The problem is that when I try to enable ROOT function in Super Manager, the program freezes and/or says that "The ROOT function in this program is not support your device or system image".
So.....any thoughts? Am I just missing a step somewhere or what?
Any help would be great Thanks.
Why don't you just go in the root system folder and manually delete them? It's easier that way.
You may have rooted the phone but did not complete.
Go to unlockr.com google "rooting vibrant with superoneclick" and watch the video seeing is believing
Usually after you root you need to manually go into recovery hit install packages 2nd time and then reboot again back into recovery and you will have rooted and it will recognize
BTW, make sure you download Rom manager and have it installed before you do the above.
cheers!
I am not familiar with the app you are referencing, BUT, if you followed my guide, please try this.
Download Titanium Backup (you should already have it if you followed my guide).
Click on problems, let it install busybox.
does it say you are rooted? yes, good.
You can click on the middle tab and click on the apps you do not want. I suggest freezing them (essentially deleting them, but less chance of messing up since you can revert it back).
if not, PM me
I have to install citrix mobile connect to connect to the Exchange server at work, and citrix will not run on a rooted device
is there a way to overcome this or perhaps install a different app to receive exchange sync?
(for example will "hide root" work here)?
You can try voodoo rootkeeper that can perform a temporary unroot.
I will start with this thread and see if blocks the exchange sync, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
I hope rooting doenst erase my data, as I am already working for a week with the device.
Anyway, I will run titnium backup before I start

titanium backup needs root
just found that out
So - any other ROM back up program out there that doesnt neet root?
or perhaps i dont have to worry about losing data with CFAuto root?

rooting does not delete data, whereas you never can be sure 100% that it will go as planned. Nevertheless there is not app that can backup 100% of your rom without root.
so i will take my chances :0)
Ke sera sera
done, went smooth
although I am running "root checker" and it says system running slow and doenst return results
is there a specific app i should install now ? "super SU" or something?

If you rooted it correctly SuperSU or SuperUser should already be installed. Did you have any progress getting Citrix to work while rooted? Im in the same situation and I've only been able to get it to work briefly with Touchwiz based ROMs with SuperSU. All others give me a " cannot connect due to a security policy" error - even after disabling root and trying to re-enroll. Its a beast...
Yes I have
I used hide my root throughout all the process.
I check with root checker to validate it's indeed hidden.
And I keep running hide my root at all times

I have had to do the same...and all seems to work. But I had to also install two more apps enforced by policy; Lookout, and Touchdown.
Any ideas on what these do?
Touchdown is a great app for synching all your mails, notes and Exchange data.
I use it
I don't know what lookout is for
Hello!
I have some basic questions about the security of rooted android devices. I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 actually on my SGS3. Of course I rooted it to install custom Recovery and ROM. So is there any possibility for an App to get Root Access without recognition?
I dont need the Root access anymore, I only wanted to install Cyanogenmod and thats it. What to do to fully unroot Cyanogen?
Another question:
If i have enabled "only install from trusted sources" am I safe? Or could there be sort of drive-by-downloads for example on this site sometimes i get the pop-up "your phone has (13) viruses, click ok ...".
Yeah thats it, I'm a little bit paranoid especially according to my passwords, are they safe!?
Thanks a lot and Greets from Germany!

You can't be unrooted and have CyanogenMod installed; that's an oxymoron. You can, of course, be unrooted without CM installed, but you can't have 'em both.

You're safe even without "only install from trusted sources" turned on. Just make sure not to install anything at all that you didn't specifically tell your device to install.

Unless you have an actual trojan or virus installed on your phone, your passwords are perfectly safe.
To check and make sure you're secure, download and install the avast! Mobile Security & Antivirus app from Google Play, and run a device scan.
Is there any possibility for getting installed without recognizing?
Can an app get Root permissions without giving them?

If you're not already, you need to use a Super User app like SuperSU (the best one). It allows you to grant/deniy apps root access. If it asks to grant/deny permission to an app that you didn't install or isn't a function of CM, or simply don't want to grant root access, then deny it permission.
EDIT: As Nookie said, you can't accidentally install something even if you allow installations of apps that aren't from "trusted sources". If you do install apps from non "trusted sources", just be smart about it.
Well, i want to know that, if it is rooted or not.
I used root checker but it says "Root is nor properly installed" ... it means that is not rooted?
Than kyou!

It is not rooted. Any app that requires root privilege will not be functional.
That being said, there are known methods to "root" Remix OS. A "systemless" method is to be found elsewhere in this forum.

Android apps can't get root access without modifying the RemixOS installation, however there is a command prompt with root access that you can enable in the experimental options part of the settings app. Once enabled you can press Alt+F1 to get to it, and Alt+F7 to get back to the desktop. It's not as useful as full root access, but it works if you just want to remove system files or disable some apps that you can't disable using the settings app.

There are a couple options on the forum that are available already pre-rooted, and there are also threads with instructions on how to root it yourself. :good:
Thank you guys for the answers!
i want it to not be rooted.
So if it is not rooted from the begining, then better.
