I can't seem to UN root my phone. In the app it DOES say your device is UNrooted but then apps like root explorer and setCPU still function. So I re rooted ( it didn't really UN root so tech. I really didn't re root) jus to see super user app and nothing shows up in the app permissions. WTF is going on. Also when I install root applications super user does not even pop up asking for permissions. I recently installed busy box so I can get titanium to work..titanium hangs on the loading screen but this only started to happen after I tried UN rooting.
I used this app to root my phone so it should UN root it.
I guess its okay but will this prevent me from updating to froyo when the update is launched.
devs please reply.

Pleaz help!!
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.

gladenable works..
u can also install apps thru adb. doesnt require root.
and if ur rooted u can edit the settings.db file using sqlite and allow non market apps.
there are way too many ways to do this..
If you don't use gladenable or adb, you can try sideload wonder machine found on androidcentral dot com. Or just Google it.

What settings need to be changed in he settings.db file for this to work?
Does using gladenable also allow you to install files off the sd card?

If you are having trouble with that, you can do it this way:
You can also use sqlite editor in the market to change the value if you are rooted.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&feature=search_result
It is located at com.motorola.android.providers.settings/settings.db/settings/107 force_only_market_apps
Change the value to 0 and you are good to go. Sideloading enabled.

Yes it does
Just redid my AT&T phone today and yes, Gladenable DEFINITELY works. Make sure USB development is on though(I got pissed off because it wasn't working... turns out it was the stupid user messing things up )
I upgraded to ics and lost root(which is fine for now) but how do i remove my super user app. I cant just uninstall from settings, apps. So is there something im missing? Thanks
Edit: mods, please fee free to move to the q&a section. Meant to post there.

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

good luck.
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.

I literally have no idea how to do the binary code stuff. Ind of a noob when it comes to that. Is it terribly difficult?

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.

I tried that method but it says failed to delete superuser.apk, same thing on root explorer
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
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.
I rooted using the method here: [04/Jan][ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit) - xda-developers
I was a Samsung Fascinate owner so this is not my first time rooting. Last night I purchased a video from the market and could not watch it bc I was rooted. Instead of downloading the apk which is supposed to work around this, I decided I would rather unroot. My purpose for rooting was to use free wifi tether which I hadn't gotten to work anyway.
So I used the unroot method found above and it does restart my phone but the Superuser app is still in my app drawer. I tried unrooting twice more: didn't work. So I tried to root again using the above process but unlike my first time where I received a conformation message, I received nothing and the cmd prompt actually closed.
Now, I have the superuser app in the drawer. I tried to use screenshot & a wifi tether app. They both told me I needed to be rooted to use them. I downloaded Linda file manager and looked in the system/apps and did not see superuser.apk there.
I found this and tried it as well: How to Unroot Droid Razr! | DroidRazrRoot.com. It did not help. At this point, I have no idea what to do.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You have the updated su from market, it doesn't mean you are still rooted, as your own tests have proved. Look in My Apps and uninstall the updated su. You're good.
That was exactly it! Thank you SO much!
