Good morning world,
I rooted my A57 phone few weeks back by following the procedure that is described everywhere on the internet. Since that moment, the phone is pretty stable.
But something interesting happened twice to my phone. Without any particular reason, my phone goes back to a non-rooted state. I notice it because I stop being able to load any application that requires root permissions, like Titanium Backup for example.
TB tries to boot, Superuser grants it the root user permissions but then TB stays stuck on "Asking for root...". Almost same thing happens to ES File Explorer, which cannot mount /system/ as root anymore. Basically, I cannot do anything that requires root access anymore.
I tried many things but the only solution that currently works is to root it again.
Does anyone know why my phone is acting this way ? Is my phone updating and unrooting itself without me knowing ? Can I block this ? Is this a bug of Superuser ? Any idea ?
Thank you very much for your kind help.

IDK if people use this but i use it and it works JUST FINE...
to root my 2.1 xperia x10 mini pro i just went on app market...
typed in "root" into search and scroll down a LITTLE
and this Chinese thingy saying z4root--(Chinese symbols ...) root (more symbols)
came up looked at comments seemed legit, downloaded & installed.
it took about 2 - 3 minutes to root the device once I opened it.
looked like it had froze... but it didn't... just took a while to apply the root.
rooted my device, auto restarted it, and Tada works fine now no hassle
it all kinda happy with it.
Even came with the superuser thingy pre-installed too.
downloaded a over-clocking tool and granted root permissions and works fine.
[[[UPDATES]]]
Downloaded systemapp remover used to uninstall lots of apps
still working fine and faster battery lasts longer because of things I don't use
( this is with the over clocking tool keeping my phone at 600mhz ALL DAY )
Heres is a small list I've been messing around with...
SAFE UNINSTALL LIST CLICK HERE
confirmed, works like a charm (no other root worked for me)
thanks liamguest
nice work!!
thnksss!!!!!it works fine at my E10i mini!!!!!you are great!!
nice work, I have found that there is a English version of the same program and it works very well. Tried it on my wife's U20i with Android 1.6.
Thanks a lot, lets see now if I can upgrade to 2.1 :=)
It took less than 30 seconds and the phone did not freeze at all (maybe 1.6 is easier to root than 2.1)
good job !!!beneficial
why do you keep your phone on 600mhz?
OK, update....
I am not sure that is roots 1.6 (it looked as if it was rooted), but when I tried to open root explorer, I would always get a error saying that it can not access root privileges because of super user. No matter how many times I would reboot the phone or reopen root explorer the same message would always pop up.
Now I have updated to 2.1 (officially with SEUS), and I am trying this tool again.
Hope that this time it will work. So far I am waiting for it to root for 6 minutes. Will post back how much time it took.
Regards to all.
Update:
After 15 min and I was still waiting for the root. I ended up taking out the battery, and doing it again. The device got rooted the 2nd time quite fast (max 2 min), and now I can use root explorer, thus I have finally rooted the phone.
Have fun.
a question about the root... is it full root (s-off)?
I want to install font changer (to get bigger fontsize), and despite my having rooted my phone, and granted su permissions to this app, it tells me it doesn't have permission to write to the system partition, where the fonts are.
I have been trying via adb shell via cmd on the PC, a terminal emulator on the phone, I get the #, but no joy when I try to mount as rw.
Tried mounting each folder on the phone to rw, didn't work either
This is with Android 2.1 (I have managed to remove all Vodafone branding, games trials from the phone, so the basic su permissions are there, just not the "FULL ROOT")
z4root isnt showing on market anymore, at least not for me anyway, either the x8 or the x10
Worked great on mine, where all others failed. Currently uing SE's latest 2.1 update 1
X10 mini pro U20
Hey guys, hate starting new threads, but this time I just had to. Here's the deal:
First I had a Galaxy Ace. I rooted it, and used root normally for a couple of months. Then something went bazzerk (don't know how to spell bazzerk xD), just as it is on my new Xperia neo. My root explorer works flawlessly and I'm able to mount my system r\o / r\w when ever I want and explore all sys files. BUT, my ROM toolbox, GO backup, etc. all apps that actualy "touch" system files (I mean change or retrieve the above), freeze when a command is given. I.e. I want to move an unmovable app to the sd card. The file IS moved, but the app freezes on "loading". GO backup: I restore a file, it's completely restored, but the app frezzes on 99% even though the job's done. Why is this happening, and is there a way to fix it?
Thank you all, and cheers
P.S. This problem sometimes just vanshies, but it's back a few days later.
P.P.S. I tried restarting, taking the battery out, restarting SU, and restarting the freezing apps, nothing erases the problem.
Have to you tried to factory reset in your phones settings?
If you´re rooted check the superuser app and loock at the log
what does superuser state?

No, I think that would fix it but then I'd have to set back everything on my phone, which I don't want

Superuser says everything's fine. I already mentioned I can see all my root files with no problem. But when another app tries the same, it freezes.

Installed, checked. Says it's rooted. I'm using Superuser and it's reporting no problems. Still freezes when an app changes something.
The thing is root works, I mean I can backup\restore app data, freeze apps, etc. but after the phone does this, the app freezes, even though it's done. A very strange problem. Is there anything I could have accidently made to brake it (exept disallowing an app from Superuser rights, I checked that three times; allways allowed) ?
I remember that i faced such problems a few weeks ago...
some root file explorers denied me the acces to the root files while i tried to change a bootanimation
root acces was granted but it didnt worked
afterwards i tried another root file explorer and it worked fine
why ?
i dont know but something went wrong with the first file browser
Try SuperSU v0.95

Thank you all, it so happened that this version of Superuser didn't quite well support these versions of apps. Just changed the ROM Toolbox to a newer version, and it works perfectly.
:good:
apparently not working after root
noob here, I did my first root today, and have only been an android user for 2 weeks after defecting from apple since the first iphone. I was a jailbreak veteran of idevices, but I got bored with the stale bread, so I spent my taxmas on a Samsung galaxy s4. Specifically wanting the i9500 version so it would be unlocked to use on net10. I followed the steps from website, and video on Odin. And it looked like it worked perfectly. It wasn't until I tried to my photo gallery app to look at some pictures, and it crashed and wouldn't load. I had the same issue with a business calendar issue app that wouldn't open. I tried clearing system cache on gallery app but no luck. I'm afraid I'm in over my own head now, and might want to restore and start from scratch. The first thing I did after rooting was a full Titanium backup. only things that I installed after root was xposed installer and an app within the installer called swipeback.
I would like to know if there is a fix for this, without having to break away from root? Or if I must,how do I know which stock file I need. I know it's i9500ubueMk1 but there's many different regions.. I bought from a best buy in Charlotte . If there isn't a simple fix to fix why my apps aren't working,then the root does more harm than good, and I wanna go back to normal.
Someone please walk me through this!!
thanks

I had the same problem. Theres nothing wrong with your phone, its the app. Instead of root explorer, download root browser. It works better
Hi,
I am using a htc explorer A310e. I proceeded to root the phone yesterday and the entire process got done perfectly. After the process I installed rootchecker and I was informed that I had successfully rooted my device. After this, I proceeded to install a custom ROM ( The S.H.T.D ROM from this site: theappjuice.com/best-htc-explorer-custom-roms.
After flashing Superuser, and the ROM files as well, my phone seemed to be ok.
Today, I downloaded link2sd on my phone and tried to move apps from my phone memory to the external (I followed the protocol of making partitions on the ext. memory first etc..)
I open the link2sd app>
I'm looking at a box that required me to select the file system of my SD card's second partition>
I select ext2 and click ok>
I'm given a root access warning message ("Link2sd could not obtain root access. If you have root access make sure you respond 'Allow' or 'Grant' to the superuser request.")
So, I go open the Superuser app and I proceed to update my su binary (as per a few tutorial videos I watched).
I try to update. It successfully proceeds up to the point where "Download new binary_okay!"
But then next, "Gaining root access_fail!"
I tried plenty of things like clearing the data for superuser app and then trying again, rebooting my phone etc. Nothing is helping.
After trying everything I could, I looked into the Rootchecker app again and Now I'm told that my phone does not have proper root access.
Please help me. I'm so worried. I'm starting to think the rooting process didn't happen properly and my phone might end up being bricked. :|
(p.s. I'm very new to this. This is also my first time rooting.)
I am new here and not really sure if I am asking in the right area (so please don't yell at me!) I have a ZTE Savvy and I wanted to root it. I have looked everywhere online and can not find anything on it. I installed the Framaroot app but had no success.
I was wondering if anyone could try and find out how to root it this type of phone? or if anyone has had any luck? if you could get back to me and let me know that would be great! Thanks.
zte-savvy need help rooting.
help also please

The provided instructions only provide a "TEMP" root. but hey, we are one step closer now.
When you reboot your ZTE Savvy you will lose root.
At least I can get rid of some bloatware.
Savvy temp root is a joke. Its a start but in to way did it help me. I can't get any of the bloat removed I maybe doing something wrong.
I lose root before reboot. Lasts about five minutes maybe longer. If I can't have full root to get fancy ROMs that is cool but would so live to remove some of the trash they install on here. Any help would be awesome.
A list of some of the apps that I can remove and how to do so would be super. I've tried es file to remove from system app folder won't allow me. Also tried titanium backup.
Titanium says it deleted but it is all still in app drawer just force closes the app I tried to deleted if I try to open it.
Then i lose root before I reboot. Once I reboot all the apps that I deleted come right back fully working. I'm stumped and hate the junk they put on here my phone says system memory is full and I have downloaded like 5 apps the rest is there trash.

There are not even any roms available. not even clockwork mod recovery to install the roms. if you install an incompatible rom its likely it will brick your Savvy. Though I would like to remove the old zte launcher for the digital cookies stock jellybean launcher. it is much faster and makes the whole system faster considering this is a low end spec'd phone.
btw i replied to your message.

Today my s4 lost root out of the blue(i was changing wifi settings at the time).i went to root explorer and its saying i dont have root.I checked Titanium and supersu and they all report its gone.
I had used towelrootv2 i believe, to root my phone.I 've not had any issues with it for about a year now.I froze the service that allows updates so i know it didn't update.
Attached is my phone info. Im really at a loss at how to proceed here, I've spent about 4 hours trying various options but it just dosen't seem to be working.
Trying the towelroot+supersu combo dosent work.Supersu reports there is no su binary.Checking i can verify that no su binary is being created.All "root checker" programs show an empty line for status when checking.I tried motochopper but it failed on the rooting part.I ran the adb commands manually and the result was the same.I run linux,but do have a windows machine available.I dont care about warranty(its already expired) but i would like to retain all data,mms/sms etc.All personal data has been backed up.

Model number didnt fit in the picture its: SCH-1545.

Try using toweleoot v3. Get it from this thread and run it and u should gain root http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-root-i545vrufnk1-4-4-2-12-1-2014-t2959613

Very odd. I would try to use Odin or Safestrap, but you need all your data... My suggestion is normally Odin, but:
A) You need data
B) Odin seems to be screwing up a lot lately
This problem was because the Security manager was updated thru the play store! It automatically pushes to your device...Then protects against root! You didn't freeze the Security updater in titanium. :/ unfortunately...You may have to back up and start from scratch. I can help you!
I have all the packages from Verizon

It updates the selinix partition, you can try to undo the app update, clear data, then use towelroot....but that would be the best you could do. If that doesn't work...Then you have to start over
