Is it posible to do root function(overclock, change VM heap, screenshot, reboot etc.) from the cm7 settings, after unrooting the phone?
I think it is possible to do them, but will they work?

It isn't because for that stuff you will need administrator privileges (root) maybe you can unroot but before change your user privileges in a terminal maybe thats a workaround

Yup. the app's name is superuser? Then you're rooted. try installing apps that require root access and see if it works.
Thanks for the help..those applications will require super user to work?

- Titanium Backup (but you need to install busybox first)
- Barnacle Wifi Tethering
- Root Explorer
- SetCPU
Those apps will ask for superuser access when you launch them for the first time. If you allowed it to and it works, then you are rooted.
As all these applications you mentioned are paid applications..so I tried droid firewall which asked for superuser access but when I allow it to access it gave an error..dat means it is not rooted..once again thanks..plz tell me another thing..have you rooted your phone?are you having xperia x 10?

All of those are free apps. I haz a rooted x10minipro since day 1 of the 2.1 update.
Best way to test for root
The best way to test for root is to install a Terminal Emulator app, open it.
When you see a $ sign, enter 'su' and press enter.
If you have root, a new sign, #, will replace the dollar sign on the next line.
If not, a message saying 'permission denied' or something like that will be displayed.
Good luck

Can you plz tell me if there is any disadvantage of rooting?is it easy to do?how it can be done on xperia x10mini..i want to root my phone just because I want to move the applications to sd card..
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
there are other terminal emulators available. try connectbot or etc.
they should work!
when you root, you risk permanently damaging your phone
and moving apps to sdcard only works on froyo(2.2) or higher.
please thank me if i have helped you

I rooted my fascinate with z4root. Then, I unrooted. Then, I noticed that my superuser was still there. I tried to delete it but couldn't. Then, I heard that u can delete it by rooting, so I tried to root it again. But for some reason, z4 keeps saying, you already have the such binary. Unable to root. I then tried to root using other programs on my computer with one click root program. That kept saying, unable to root device. Please help me delete the su or reroot my phone.
A few simple commands with an app called terminal emulator, free in market. Search YouTube for "fascinate remove root" for the commands

You can also set to stock using Odin. There is also a way to delete the root files using root explorer if you still have root access but I'm guessing not as that happened to be after the last update.

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

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.
Sent from my Droid X using xda premium
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.

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.

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.
Well I've flashed a stock official virgin rom since I'm done with customs, the question its because I have superuser premium and it has the ability to go ghost mode (hide from upgrades so the device won't lose the root) but.... I know the rooting process leave my stock rom untouched being able to receive OTAs updates on my Gnex... but I don't know if the rotting process here will be the same... I mean will I still be able to get my OTAs (aka future ICS updates). On the gtab if I'm rooted?
My tab its carrier free, meaning ill get the OTA as soon as Samsung put the little file in the OTA server... I don't think I'm flashing custom ROMs as i love some Samsung apps wich need the touchwiz framework to work but at least in ICS I got the Nova launcher waiting so i can run Samsung apps with ICS AOSP looks...
Thanks in advance for the info

unrooting is easy. Use busybox app from market to remove busybox, delete superuser app from /system/app with es file explorer or root explorer, download superuser app from market, remove su-binary from /system/xbin or /system/bin. Uninstall superuser app.

Hi,
I have downloaded LagFix (fstrim) for my TF201 and when I try to use it it says that it does not have root permission. I am rooted and I have root permissions, since I have Titanium Backup already running on my Prime. So its probably LagFix (fstrim) that did not ask SuperSu for permissions, I was wondering is there a way to manually give a permission to an app ? I really want to use this LagFix (fstrim) cause my prime has become sluggish.
Thanks in advance
Go into super su and open up the permission for it and you should be able to change it.

How do you do that since LagFix (fstrim) never asked for any permissions. I know I am a noob.
Sorry it is not SuperSU it is Superuser.
LagFix (fstrim) just never asked for Root permission to Superuser so because of that it wont do the fstrim

I suggest you simply uninstall.. LagFix
then update superuser (I personally love SuperSU)
and then reinstall..
Thanks button deserves a click. no?
Just delete all lagfixes data and open it again

I did what you said its still does not work, I also did what Makrilli said do delete data for lagfixes it stills does not work, it does not get Root permission, I wish there was a way to manually give an app root permission.

You could try to set supersu to automaticly to give access to root. Also you could try to use superuser instead

Unfortunately I did that too, I dont know why it does not want to give root to lagfix when I gave root to other apps just fine in the past they are all still rooted and have permission, including AdAway and Titanium Backup.
