My phone was rooted using Super One click prior to updating to 4.1.57. I updated my Atrix without unrooting. The update took, but now I'm unable to unroot my phone. No mods were installed. Only Titanium back up. Please help. How do I remove superuser? I tried using Super One Click, but it states "running psneuter."
I had to do a factory reset after updating my rooted phone in order to get all the apps that I had frozen with TI backup. The reset also removed the superuser app icon.
Thanks, but factory reset failed to remove super user for me.
root atrix
to my feel exactly the same with my atrix and not to restore it to values of manufactures have been able to remove the root icon.
Thank you if you find the solution the make me know and I hare the same with you
Hi Guys I'm a Noob
My phone is XT910 and it has several problem so i'm going to service center.
The problem is; I cannot unroot.
I updated recently after root.
After upgrading, I can't use apps that acquire root authority.
also unrooting is impossible. I mean I cannot remove SU so I cannot go to svc center.
S/W version is 65.3.106.XT910K.KT.en.KR
Is there any solution?
and I think it's impossible, but can I downgrade?
thx for reading this.
have you checked adb shell?
is superuser unable to detect root? is superuser still on your phone after the update?
have you try to reinstall superuser or superuser update fixer from the market?

I had to replace my XT910 logicboard because I dropped it in water and couldn't repair. The new motherboard comes with a rooted OS, system setting version reading 67.145.910.XT910.ChinaRetail.en.CN. I absolutely know nothing about rooting and have never tried it, and I don't know anything about the terms used in rooting. I want to un-root my device, but I do not know how to do that. I tried DooMLoRD, but it did not work (according to what I am being informed by Voodoo OTA RootKeepr, which says super user installed, device rooted, root permission granted, /system supports root protection protocol su available.)
How can I unroot my device?
Thank you
Unrooting can be achieved easily if you're not concerned about losing data on the phone. RSDlite (5.7) back to stock with the appropriate SBF Fastboot file (can't help with locating the appropriate SBF for international; you'll have to do some sniffing around). Then you can run an OTA if you need to, and you'll be back to 100% stock with none of the previous stock rom alterations (root, etc.) remaining.
EDIT
Check HERE; you may be able to locate the proper SBF.
My friend gave me a droid razr which is rooted and has a custom rom installed on it. I was able to charge the device and boot into the OS however the phone simply will not be recognized by the computer. I've tried 3 different cables to no avail, there must be something wrong with the USB port itself.
Is there any way to unroot the device and get back to stock without having to connect the phone to the computer? I am able to put the SD card into a different phone in order to transfer files to it.
Thanks alot in advance

Using the app SuperSU, there's an option for "full unroot" in the settings. If you plan on keeping the ROM, I wouldn't unroot if I were you. If you DON'T plan on keeping the ROM, then you're pretty much hopeless to remove it without connecting to a computer. Are you sure the drivers are installed for the device? You say the phone charges, so I doubt it's the port. Do USB options show up in the notification tray on the phone when you plug it in to a computer?

There are no usb options that appear in the notification window, and since I posted this the phone has quit charging . I'm not sure how he went about rooting the phone because when I went into the recovery, it was still the stock recovery that was installed. I did a factory reset on the device and when I booted it back up it asked me to activate before I could go any further. I tried using my sim card from my galaxy nexus but it gave me an error. I was thinking that I might bring the phone to verizon and see if it activates with a clean sim card and then look to see if it is still rooted or not.
Also, after further digging I found out that he actually did not install a custom ROM, all he did was root the device. So if I can get into the SuperSU app I will go ahead and unroot the device.

From what I know, the ports on the RAZR are poorly designed and prone to break. I had issues with HDMI detection a while ago and had to send it in for repairs.
Factory resets do not unroot the device.When you get the chance to use the SuperSU app (you may have to download it from the market), it should be easy to unroot it, but it's hard to say when the method isn't known.
And as far as I know, can't you just use wi-fi to complete initial setup?

Ok, I got the device activated and yeah it appears that it is still rooted. You mentioned downloading SuperSU off of the marketplace, as only Superuser was installed on the phone.
I downloaded SuperSU and when I try to open it I am getting the error ("There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!").
So yeah, I am not sure where to go from here, the port is still not working so I need to do something before the battery dies.

Try an app like Root Checker or Got Root? to make sure the device IS rooted. I have messily unrooted a device before and while it WAS unrooted, it left Superuser and Busybox behind.
If it IS rooted, find an app of your choice (System Tuner Pro, Titanium Backup...) and uninstall root apps (Superuser). Cover up root best you can. I've handed a boot-looping device in for repairs with no carrier trouble, so I'm sure you'll be fine.
If it ISN'T... Well, you're hopeless without a computer as far as I can say.
Also, it may not help, but if your device is indeed rooted, you could also go into Superuser, swipe left and try to update the binaries so you can try SuperSU again.

I'm going to try Root Checker right now to see if its actually rooted like you said. I actually updated the Superuser app earlier and SuperSU still wasn't working so I'm starting to think it may have lost root somehow.
I also tried using Superuser Update Fixer and manually flashing the SU binary file from recovery but since the phone is still on stock recovery it wouldn't work.
I was also thinking that I could try and cover up root with titanium backup as you said, that was going to be my last step but since the battery is getting lower and lower I may have to go that route and hopefully not have a problem with Verizon. I guess it also helps that the stock recovery and ROM are still installed on it.
This is just a side project for me, I have a galaxy nexus myself and I have never had any trouble with it.
UPDATE: I just used both of the root checking applications you suggested and they both say that the phone is not actually rooted. Root Checker just spit out a message saying it wasn't rooted and Got Root? said that it located busybox but could not obtain root access. I'm going to try and clean things up with titanium backup.
UPDATE 2: When I installed titanium backup, the app asked me for root permissions and I hit grant. When I open superuser it shows it as giving permission to titanium backup but I can't find Superuser in the list of applications within titanium backup itself. There has to be another way to remove superuser.
UPDATE 3: I just tried to delete the superuser.apk file using root explorer and I get a pop-up saying that it won't allow me to delete that APK because my phone is not rooted. Ugh.. now I'm stuck.

Yeah... Sorry about your luck
You could try sending it into Verizon still. They may fix it. Perhaps not for free. Even if not at all, at least it's just a side project?
That's about all I can think of :/
I have hunted these forums, up and down and can't find what I need!
Here's the deal,
I have a Galaxy Note, that I rooted, but left stock. My carrier, Rogers, offered the JB update for it quite awhile back, but for some reason, I couldn't do the update OTA. I'm not sure if it was even available OTA or not, but that's besides the point. I rooted using the method in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149981. Now, it has come to a point where something is corrupted somewhere. I keep getting the "Shell has been granted superuser permission" over and over and over and over. The method I used, installed Superuser along with CWM through ODIN, and now that I am troubleshooting this shell issue, it have found out, that Superuser cannot be uninstalled by the regular uninstall method. Is there a way to uninstall it? I don't want to go deleting things with root explorer, until I know for sure that I will not mess anything up. I want to uninstall Superuser. How do I go about doing so??
Thanks,
Shad
I tried to root my phone before, but it didn't work. I don't know if it is not installed properly or whatever. My phone still works the same, so is it necessary to unroot my phone? I think before I tried to root my phone, it would automatically new software for the phone, but now it asks me if I want to download later. Would the choice to download software updates later go away if I unroot my phone?
first download root checker to see if you have rooted or not.
Two different root checkers said I didn't have root, another root checker said it wasn't installed properly. My phone has been a little off lately, that's why I'm wondering if my previous attempt to root it might have something to do with it.
Download later was always an option for me, had nothing to do with root
