Ok, rooted and flashed the Onlyone goldie rom. I love it so far, but it seems as if I have lost root! How do I regain? Also, I do not have a PC and finally, my former apps are not being downloaded to my phone. A little help?
To Summarize:
How do I get my apps?
How do I regain root? (PS I backed up my former (rooted) GB rom on CWM recovery, if i return to it will I have root again?)
Thanks in advance!

1) Since you flashed this rom you must have CWM....so I would try this, dl this and put on your intern sd and flash you would a ROM...but no wipes, I did this when, running stock to get root, works great.
2) Are your apps root dependent ...if so that is prob why ...but you may need to clear out the gplay thru the app manager...then try dl your apps again.
hope it helps

what makes you think you lost root?
Is the SU app in your app tray?
Only some AOSP ROMS, like CM9, will restore your apps automatically..otherwise, you have to either restore them manually, through the market, or back them up, with a back up program like titanium backup, and restore them through there..
Used cwm and all was fixed! Thanks!!!!!

Hello,
I have a new thunderbolt, which is not rooted. What is the best way to get rid of apps such as Blockbuster, v-cast stuff, etc., etc, while keeping the phone stock? Is this even possible?
Sorry for the newb question and thanks for any help
If you don't root, you can't remove them.

Yep, not possible unless you root. One of the nice things about Gingerbread is you can default to frequently used apps and never see the bloatware.

It is possible, of course, to root the phone and not install another ROM, correct? To just leave the OS as it is, and use something like Titanium Backup to delete stuff from there?

ROM does not necessarily mean custom. There are stock ROMs pulled from the updates/leaks that are not modified by anyone. Using one of those would be what you want.
But is it possible not to install/flash anything after rooting? Just leave it as it is?
Use revolutionary method and you can stick with stock rom and be rooted. It'll replace your hboot with a custom one with s-off, then flash clockwork for custom recovery, then install superuser via recovery. Your rom will be complete stock with root then.

revolutionary method?

Don't use the one click methods, use the adb method or revolutionary method. Adb method will delete your data, revolutionary will let you keep your data, but it takes extra steps to revert to the stock bootloader.
Hey! Sorry if this has been asked before. I just converted from ip4 to sgs2 and i just did cf-root and flash miui rom and i'm loving it. I tried installing titanium backup, but it says it can't access root. Any help? Miui has superuser installed though. Did i miss any steps?

Go to Superuser-app ---- Settings ---- There will be one option, allow Root Access ---- make it Yes! Done and Dusted!
Thanks chetan_mohanty and katkoriaarpan.
I don't know what I did, but this time round, the installation for the titanium backup is successful and no errors.
Thanks again!
I did all of this then had to reboot before it worked properly
Just got my Prime and updated to .28 then rooted it ,unlocked the bootloader,installed CWM and finally installed TWRP. Booted into TWRP and made a backup. Now I want to install a ROM once I do that and I want to restore to the backup of the orig. with unlocked bootloader can I do that (use that backup) or will I brick it by using this backup...
Thanks in advance.

You can absolutely use twrp to restore a backup you have made with it. If I understand correctly you want to flash a new rom to play around with it, but ultimately go back to where you are at right now. Yes, you can do that.

I would be a little hesitant to use TWRP at this point. Some users, including myself, have been experiencing soft bricks when restoring. The problem seems to be that the kernel is not properly restored for some users using TWRP. If you really feel compelled to use this, I would have a kernel.zip on your sdcard (like one of motley's) so you can boot your restored rom. Otherwise you are going to have to restore using fastboot. Personally, I would rather use CWM until they have figured why some people are having this problem.
Interesting, was unaware of the twrp issue. The latest crm is unable to create backups. Guess i could use an older version of crm.

If you check the TWRP thread in the dev section there are people complaining about this. I hope they sort it out soon because it has some really cool features.
I am using Roach's repacked CWM touch which works just fine. You can d/l it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601942

There's the million dollar question! First I would decide if you want a stock or non-stock rom. If you want the ASUS experience, I would try Virtuous. Diamondback makes solid roms. If not, your choices are basically AOKP, CM9, team Eos or Gummy. I have used them all a lot and prefer CM9. I am using Makelegs' CM9 Skankwich kang and think it is really solid. I will be sticking with it for a while, which is something I have found difficult to do! AOKP is really good rom too, but you will have to look on Rootzwiki for that.
A lot of it comes down to personal preference. If you have the patience I would give them all a go and see which works best for you. Flashing is generally very safe as long as you have a backup and a rom on your sdcard. I have had a load of fun messing with all the different roms.

Hi,
I am rooted on my S3 and all is good. However, my Father also has an S3 and last week he was talked into rooting it by his Grandson. All went well but long story short he was not happy with having a rooted phone so has decided to remove root. He has now done so by following various guides. He used Triangle away which he says went successfully and has used Odin to put the latest stock firmware on the phone which again he says went successfully. I was not there when he did all this but phone seems all good.
Except one thing. He has tried to install a couple of apps he had before rooting. Barclays bank app and Sky Go app. After installation these apps are saying they will not work on a rooted phone, but it's not rooted any more. I have booted into recovery using Volume down, power and home buttons and it says custom firmware / rom, I can't remember exact wording, but it says no. Also in the phone menu where a rooted phone says modified in device status it says normal or whatever it should say. Again can't remember exactly but all looks like no root present.
Anyone got any ideas on this? As I am rooted on my S3 and never un-rooted it yet, I do not know if he should have done something else. Will he have to root again to run triangle away or anything else. Or can this be fixed as the phone is at present?
Thanks for any help guys.
Cheers, Rich

One basic question..are you still able to go into recovery..vol up+power+home..if yes you are still rooted...you need to find your stock firmware and flash it via odin
check if it was a stock firmware your father flashed orcustom ROM o.follow this guide to do it again

Hi,
Just tried that and the S3 will not go into recovery via volume up, power and home. Tried several times and it just powers up as normal. He has just tried his banking app and it's telling him the phone is rooted. I'm stumped on what to do.

Sounds like maybe triangle away didnt properly remove the count, was the firmware he downloaded the official one for his phone? Was it previously branded or anything like that?
go supersu and click remove root

Hi,
He has superSu on the phone. Presumably it has downloaded from the play store when restoring the phone. However, he tried to uninstall it which just removed the updates. Couldn't go any further. It is now asking for updates which he has done. But when he tries to launch Super SU it says no apps configured and won't go any further. I think the fact that super su is on the phone, the apps are thinking it is rooted. I am doing this all over the phone so can't see what's happening.
I'm wondering if the way to go now would be another factory reset and when restoring everything, try not to let play store instal super su. Would this be the way to go, or can we get super su off the phone without a reset?
Cheers, Rich
Try uninstalling super su with titanium backup. Then factory reset. Are you sure you have flashed a stock ROM and not a rooted one. This doesnt sound right.

Didn't know there was something like that. Now I am on stock and un-rooted. I can still go into the recovery by pressing vol up+power+home keys.
Hi,
Trying to do these things with him over the phone ain't easy. I may just go and get the phone and do it myself.
He does have supersu on the phone and it is working, well it's installed anyway but obviously does not do the root things as the phone is un-rooted. There is an option in supersu settings to remove root but will this work as the phone is not rooted? Question is how on earth do I remove supersu. Do i need to re-root and remove it that way?

Can't uninstall via Titanium backup as he is no longer rooted unless he roots the phone again. It is a stock rom. It was downloaded via the official rom thread on here.

Hi all,
I previously had my GS4 rooted on JellyBean, running the stock ROM and ClockworkMod. I upgraded my phone with the Verizon update to 4.4.2 when the update came out. I am now on the NC5 build. I am now trying to root my phone again, to run a different ROM. I still have Rom Manager and SuperSU on my phone from the last root.
I tried using Towelroot yesterday. It said the root was successful. I was able to go into Rom Manager and update CWM, which also said it flashed successfully. SuperSU is working. However, when I try to boot into CWM, it boots into the stock (I think) recovery. I'm trying to run a nandroid backup before I do anything drastic.
Do I have to wipe my device, and start fresh? It seems that CWM is installed, but the stock recovery is overriding it. Sorry if this is a noob-ish question. I've been out of the Root game since my Incredible.

I believe when you accept the Verizon OTA update it locks down custom recoveries like CWM/TWRP and the only option is SafeStrap.

Yea if your on a Verizon s4 running any build after MDK... which you are... SafeStrap is your only option.
Hard to say what that will do to your phone after trying to install CWM.... usually it just soft bricks it and you need to Odin back to stock...

May be a good idea just in case. I've seen some on here do the same as you with ROM manager and once they rebooted they were brought to the unauthorized software detected screen.... And without a recovery and a backup already made you'd be out of luck.

It would probably be smart to remove CWM with Odin before attempting SafeStrap, correct? Is there a specific thread for removing CWM from a Verizon S4? I searched around but couldn't find anything specific to the S4.
Edit: I found a guide on NasirTech. Looks like that will work.

Well it didn't actually install it since your kernel doesn't allow for it now but what I would do is just use Odin and start over. Can use a No Wipe file and keep all your stuff.
You could try the method you found... I'm just not familiar with it.
Hard to say really how it will act. Maybe you'll have no issues at all just be able to install SafeStrap. Maybe you'll be able to install it but then it won't boot properly into it... who knows. Both have happened to me with my recovery ( CWM ),.. and using Odin was the only thing that helped.
Good luck .. I'm sure you'll get it going
