Is there a way to get HULU plus back working after rooting and debloating with Indirect's method. The app would instantly close. So I downloaded the app from the thread with all the apps from Rforce1 and installed it. It immediately force closes.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I'm having the same issue..
I just gave up on it
I have a feeling we would need to restore back to 1.4.0 and re-root...
Just a feeling

After rooting and setting up my NT the way I liked (adding ADW Launcher, etc.), the Hulu app still ran, but it wouldn't let me log in (got some error about my device having "connectivity issues"). My solution? I used Titanium Backup to backup the Hulu app, and then I uninstalled it. Then I went onto the Android Market and downloaded/installed it (if it doesn't show up in the Market for you, know that I changed my build.prop to look like the DROID3). After that, everything ran smoothly. Hope this solution helps your slightly-different problem.
Nunspa, I think your right about having to unroot and start over again with rooting and not debloating. However, when I originally rooted I was watching the football game and missed a step. So I unrooted. But then my computer wouldn't recognize my NT. I spent days trying to get it to recognize it. I don't know if it was my dinosaur of a notebook. I eventually went to the second computer in my house and rooted it fine. I am afraid to unroot again for fear that that second notebook won't recognize my NT. But I am paying for Hulu Plus on my TV and it sucks that I can't see it on my NT. I was able to before I rooted.
Mattman1983, thank you for your suggestion. I did what you suggested and backed up with TB. But Hulu Plus doesn't show up in the market for me and I don't know how to change the build.prop and don't know the consequences of such a procedure.
I may eventually unroot again and start over if no one suggests a different way.
erpman,
The USB connectivity issue is tied to conflicting drivers, Thus the computer you preformed your root on should be able to re-root without any issues.
I have been considering re-rooting, and besides I'm eyeing the 1.4.1 rooting presented by DeanGibson..
Just have to back up my apps with TBA and I should be good to go, besides It's not like I have any "irreplaceable" items.. ya it's a pain, but may be worth it.
Nunspa, are you saying that I can reroot without unrooting first? I'm thinking that I have to unroot using indirect's unrooter which brings the nt back to stock 1.4 including the huluplus app. Rerooting without unrooting wouldn't bring me back to stock. Sorry if I'm not making sense. What's the benefit of the 1.4.1 root?
One method might be to use the 3 hulu+ titanium backup files from another device and restore them. This is how I got hulu+ to work on my Xoom. If someone wants to try that, here's a guide on how to do it.

Nooo you need to unroot, revert back to 1.4.0 and do it all over again..
you mentioned that you had issues with one of your computers recognizing your NT, that was due to conflicting drivers...
Titanium Backup method
So I used Indirect's method to root my gf's Nook tablet thus Hulu Plus remained. I have hence backed up the app and am attaching the 3 files from the backup. All you would need to do is place these 3 files in your titanium backup folder and then go into titanium backup and restore the app. You may need to restore app + data but I'm not sure.
If someone who used the full debloat root method could try this out and let me know how it goes, I'd appreciate it.
File 1
File 2
File 3
Having issues with attachments so I uploaded the files to mediafire
A huluplus apk fix was just posted that is claimed to work on all android devices.

Just to finish this thread out, I wound up unrooting then rooting without debloat. Hulu Plus is back for me. I did try out the new Huluplus apk listed above by cubanluke on my Samsung fascinate phone and it works perfectly.
I'm also using Buttonsavior which is great except i can't get the power button to work.

the power button function in buttonsavior is to lock the screen which for me its better
~Veronica
The lockscreen (which looks like a power button) doesn't work for me. When I try to activate it in the button savior settings, it force closes. I'm not exactly sure what a lockscreen function is. I just know the settings forcecloses when I try to acitvate it. I should probably stop these questions on this thread.

Meh , there is no option to activate lockscreen in button savior, by default locks the screen so you don't have press power button or wait 2minutes min to lock it. I moved the app to /system/app and have no problem.

Hulu plus fix: Try using titanium backup to backup the app then delete it. Then go back into Titanium and restore the app only. This fixed my issue.

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?

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
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
Over the last couple of days I've been playing around with the Complete Linux Installer app (free version from the market) and found that it wasn't working. After a lengthy support chat with with the developers of the app I figured out that I lost root access somehow, someway. I'm running Th3 Bill's CM 10 (4.1.2) dated 11-27-12. Superuser is obviously still installed as it's a built app for CM 10. Does anyone know how one would regain root access without reflashing and wiping everything? Call me lazy but I don't want to have to set everything back up the way I had it, just too tedious at this point and was hoping for a better, cleaner, easier solution. I do have a backup from about 2 months ago. If I restore from that ackup will that fix my root problem?
have you tried to reroot with the torpedo method?
I tried everything and ended up just doing a full wipe and reinstalling CM10.1. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be as Google remembered all my Apps downloaded them automatically however to have to rest all the setting(if applicable) in each app. Beggars can't be choosers I guess right. What's done is done and I got it fixed nonetheless. Thanks for the suggestion though

PLEASE HELP SOON, doing this as a BIRTHDAY GIFT for my younger cousin (I also bought a case protector too) He works 2 part-time jobs while still in school and doesn't have time to mod or time to deal with troubleshooting the install. He's a really good guy and cares for his parents and younger sister; he works really hard to pay for what he has and even sends some money back home to help out since money is tight for them.
I feel bad for him and want to do this for him. His birthday is coming up
-Help, Safestrap version 3.11 doesn't work after installed on rooted phone (Droid Razr spyder XT912 CDMA)
When I click on the Safestrap app a window pops up and it says "Unfortunately, Safestrap has stopped" with the only option of clicking "ok" button- this then closes the app entirely before Safestrap can open up.
*I've installed and erased Safestrap 4 times already, and boot the phone in Recovery Mode to clear the cache each time. I used the "adb" in the Android SDK to install Safestrap into the phone, and noticed that it was installed in a temp folder each time.
*I've rooted the phone 2 times already with Razr Blade program and it says it's "successfully rooted" each time
HOW DO I FIX THIS? Safestrap is stopping me from being able to go on with Cyanogenmod 10.1 steps. It's so frustrating
you sure it's rooted? do you have superuser app?
try installing the apk in normal way like copying / installing with airdroid or dropbox.
i keep all my apps on dropbox.
Figured it out

THANKS SO MUCH!! You're AWESOME. :highfive: After checking out your question- It turned out that the phone wasn't rooted because there's no superuser app and also I downloaded a root checker app and it said that I didn't have root access. The Razr Blade said the process was a success but I did noticed that a part of it didn't have the files or folder it needed to clear up, and the second time around I hard reset it to factory settings, and then actually rooted it using Razr Blade and it did have the necessary folder/files to clear up. Afterwards, I saw that I had the superuser app. Thanks for the dropbox advice too.
The phone is now completely modified with CM10.1.2.
So I went a little app uninstalling crazy after rooting my phone while trying to get rid of the Verizon bloatware. One of the things I uninstalled was the default keyboard and now I'm having some trouble.
My work email requires the phone to be encrypted, but when I do that I can't get past boot encryption! I have no keyboard showing up anymore.
I've factory reset the phone a few times and don't have the list of things I uninstalled anymore, dumbass move I know.
Does anyone know the name of or have a link to the default keyboard that comes installed? Or know how to get a keyboard to show up on the boot encryption?

Installed and just added encryption and still no keyboard at boot :crying:
I'm thinking I might just return the phone today since I got it very recently.
Just an fyi, in the future use titanium backup, our something similar to, to freeze the apps not delete them. That way if you mess something up you can just unfreeze them. I suppose you're also on me7?
You could Odin back to stock and then re-root. I'd think that would fix the issue.
Try to Odin back to stock like wolfgrrl said and don't forget a nandroid backup,backup,backup..,lol
Don't Odin that's a waste of time. I did the same thing. Just download a ROM that is not themed and pull the SamsungIME.apk file then push to system apps via root explorer. Set permission then reboot. Super simple. I have an apk for it. Just pm me and I'll send you a drop box link.

Hey man,
Can you got the solution for this issue?
Since 2 hours, I got the same problem in my S4 (KitKat). I tried installing stock keyboard zip (androidfilehost.com/?fid=23032113221600607), but it doesn't work.
Pls, help me. I have my phone unavailable.
