I installed the "M6" version of Google Now from the link below, and now find that I've lost root access. To add insult to injury, Google Now doesn't seem to be installed anyway - it's not listed in my apps. I'm running Checkrom 3.5 with stock kernel.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Install superuser/superSU from Play and open a app that requires root to check you`re unrooted, if you are reroot with CF Root 6.4.

Had the same issue when I tried to root my stock 2.2 Vibrant.
Busybox has to be installed somewhere in /system, I believe. The version of 2.2 that Samsung Kies installs, however, has /system packed completely full of bloatware, so there's no room for busybox.
What worked for me was to root with SuperOneClick, then reboot my phone. That got the Superuser app working, so I could use a file manager (I used Super Manager) with root privileges to go into /system and delete some of the bloat to make room for busybox.
An alternative choice is to just flash something else, instead of sticking with a rooted stock 2.2 firmware. As far as I know, all stock 2.1 builds have room in /system for whatever you might need to put there.
let me try to install file manage and clean some unwanted files and try again...

I used Super Manager for the job, but I think about any file manager that can use root privileges would work.
Be sure to only delete bloat. Stuff like Sims 3, Amazon mp3, Slacker Radio, that sort of thing. Those are really just apps, and have no business being in /system. They're only put there because T-Mobile didn't want us to be able to delete the bloat they were paid to pre-load onto our phones. /system also holds all sorts of stuff your phone needs to work properly, so you can end up forced to Odin to stock if you delete stuff that's not bloat.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925400 is the thread that I followed to get root working on my previously stock 2.2 Froyo Vibrant. It's /system/app that you need to clean up bloat from.
Thanks i could delete unwanted apps and free up some space in system folder. I could unlock my phone and use AT&T sim.
Hello Professionals,
I have a question please. I rooted my phone using Rachmat3's guide [GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
I rooted it successfully but sometimes whenever i play some games (Asphalt 6 Adrenaline an example), this notification "shell has been granted super user permission" appears continuously for around 5 mins and when i check the superuser log, it allowed "shell" for more than a hundred times and i couldnt still open the game.
Here is my phone information.
Model number : GT-I9100
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband version I9100XXLPX
Kernel version : [email protected] #3
What could be the reason of this? Any advice? Thank you.

it seems.... probably asphalt is infected with virus...
No, it's not a virus
It's an issue with SuperUser (specifics/details if you want to get technical can be found here somewhere if you do an XDA search). The easiest method to fix the issue without stuffing around is to install SuperSu from Google Play, update the binary on that app, then uninstall SuperUser & reboot.
That should solve the problem.
P.S - You could have found this solution by searching, this has been covered here more times than I've had hot dinners.
P.P.S - If the problem persists once you've done that (unlikely but possible), contact the developers of the apps in question. Clearly those apps are asking for root over & over (looping) when they shouldn't be.

Ok, i will try but i want to ask some more question for clarification.
1. I will install SuperSU as normal apk file?after that..
2. how do i remove my current superuser? i installed it using update from internal sd using recovery mode.
Thanks..
1. Go to Google Play (on your phone obviously; unless you want to do it from your PC & push it to your phone, which is a pain in the arse), search for SuperSu (free version) & install it like you would any other app from Google Play Re-read what I said to do after you install it, I'm not repeating it.
2. Settings/Apps/All - Uninstall SuperUser. Reboot.

I installed SuperSU from google play and updated binary files. Can't I just disable SuperUser and not uninstall it? Im afraid i cant unroot my phone using the method from Rachmat3's if i removed the superuser?
Thanks.

You can download Rom toolbox from the market and use it to uninstall SuperUser. now your root access will be from SuperSU.
Hello! I want to install Safestrap Recovery v3.71 and i have the HDX8.9 WIFI.
"First Requirement: Rooted w/ SuperSU installed." (Hashcodes HowTo from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612772)
I have the stock rom, the only thing i have done ist root it and prevent OTA-Updates.
Before i make a backup/copy of the stock rom, i dont want to make much changes, like installing an alternate market.
Now my question:
How to secure install SuperSU ?
I found the APK can be downloaded from http://www.1mobile.com/supersu-358316.html.
But can i trust that download from 1mobile ?
Is a scan of the apk with https://www.virustotal.com/ usefull ?
THX for Help ...
I have searched the web for rooting this kind of phone, and I have not found anything. All I know is that it's possible, since this guy did it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641478
I presume it's the same as for the older versions, but I want to make sure.
OS version: 4.2.2
Kernel Version:3.4.5
Thank you.
According to this: http://www.srsroot.com/\supported your device is supported.
And how does this work?
This does not work, I tried it, and it said the rooting was complete. After I tried to install some root apps, they did not work. So I tried it again, but it says that I do have root access.
Hmm. Which superuser app did it install? It's not uncommon to need to either update the superuser app and / or update the SU binary (should prompt through the app if needed). Go to the Play Store and see if there is an update to the app, then open it and see if it prompts you to update the binary as well. If you don't have the Play Store on your device, just let me know which version of the SU app was installed and I'll see if there's is an update available. I don't get the chance to mess with many off brand products like this, so do not have direct experience, just tons of android experience in general.
Found some more info from a random Russian site (via Google Translator) http://translate.google.com/transla...rch?q=prestigio+duo+5450+CWM&espv=2&es_sm=122
Might try and install CWM recovery and flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip if all else fails.
I used SRSroot if that is what you are asking.
If you are asking about what app I downloaded to test it, I used titanium, which told me that it could not access the root. I just downloaded it.

No, was referring to which Superuser app was installed during the root process. Typically this should be either Koush's SuperUser or Chainfire's SuperSU. And test with another app as Titanium can be a little weird with root access on some devices as well as needing Busybox to run properly and not all root methods also set up Busybox. Try any of these: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=rootchecker

Hello,
I have Prestigio Multiphone PAP4300 DUO, I tried all rooting crap and it didnt work. BUT one did worked. It is used on PC. You connect your phone to pc and then run the program, and choose which method you want to use(depends on phone). After some tries it worked. I dont remember what was the software called, but if I find it, I will surely edit my post.
There was no program installed during the rooting process.

Then VERY unlikely it worked. You can doublecheck and install this and see what it says: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu . It'll most likely say you are missing the SU binary and fail to install it for you without proper root. Other options include CWM recovery and a custom prerooted rom.
Rooting
If you still nid a root for PAP5450Duo I have this phone and this root app worked: download Framaroot 1.9.3 (use the Boromir exploit).
Hallo friends,
I am using Samsung galaxy tab 8000, 10.1 . It still runs on 4.1.2 android ever since I rooted it. I want to update to latest.
I tried hiding rot with voodoo. It says successfully done. But I can still run root apps.
I tried Framroot(the same app that I used to root) and unrooted the tab. It says sucessfully unrooted, but I can still run titanium backup and root apps.
Check for updates option, when selected, doesnt do anything.
What should I do?
See you
Hello Friends,
Now I have rooted my tablet using CF auto root using Odin.
When I start the SuperSu app, it asks to install binaries. and I choose normal method. then it takes a while, and says failed. The app closes. I cannot access the app.
But the app runs in background and gives all the root access to root apps properly. Root working.
So, why do I need the binaries if everything is working without it?
Am I missing something?
thank you see you.
