Hello,
I'm wondering if it's possible to still use (and update nightly versions) cyanogenemod 10 on my Samsung gallaxy s3 without superuser installed and after re-root ?
If yes, how can I do ? (Because superuser is installed with the rom not by google play...)
Why? Because I'm using an application, good for enterprise, that check if superuser is uninstalled ans if the phone is unroot (it's an application for get your profesionnals mails on tour personnal phone)
Thanks for your help
You probably can, seeing cyanogenmod once considered releasing without root some time ago. You'll have to get rid of superuser and the related binary yourself from every rom you update

Hello folks!
After I updated my s3 via KIES on I9300XXEMC2 today and had then rooted with cf-autoroot, superuser is gone... According to Google Play it is installed but can not open it... icon in the app menu is also missing... what it could be?
I do not have one root, since inter alia Titanium has no access...
I want to install PARANOID for some testing...

When you update it is best to uninstall SU before you re root, if google play says it is installed then you should be able to uninstall it from there then reinstall it from the market
well yes, I had to laugh very hard as I read the description of the App: "This is only a license key"... omg
so I have to install the standard and the Pro-Key... thx

Hi.
Bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-i9305) but found out it has this SuperUSer app.
Does this mean the device is rooted? Will i have issues in installing it with the official Android 4.2.2 or 4.3 (if it comes) to the device?
Or can i install 4.2.2 or 4.3 with much ease? (As i am not famailiar with rooting a device)
Please advice. Thanks.
Yes it means your device is rooted and you have SUPERUSER control to your device...
And you can easily check out your root status with any of the app called Root checker..
Superuser is an app to control the permission for the apps that can change your system data..

In other words: you can do whatever you want to do with your device and there are no software limitations by (in your case) Samsung anymore.

The SuperUser program is also very helpful for managing the Root permissions of various applications. Some ROMs do not require a SuperUser program to accomplish this, while others do. Make sure to upgrade binaries (within the SuperUser app) before doing root-intensive activities (such as TitaniumBackup items).

If you update via OTA after rooting, you WILL lose root. You may however root it again (provided rooting methods are available for the newer software version). You may or may not lose your apps (depending on the type of OTA update) after the update. So make sure to do a good backup first!
Flashing a custom ROM will almost always require you to do a full wipe (or format) of your phone, which will remove all your apps as well as personal data (excluding your files). You DON'T NEED to root custom ROMs, they are already rooted.
And yes, you have asked in the right place.
So thank yoi very much for ykir reply and thank you for ur time
I am happy i ask in right place of the forum
MERRY XMASS TO ALL !

Hello,
I currently own a rooted/unlocked Nexus 5 smartphone and my carrier just pushed me the new android 4.4.3 update and it's been a while since I've been in this situation (get update while running andoird with root access).
My questions are the following:
- If I remeber well from last time I had this situation with my galaxy nexus, installing 4.4.3 will not harm my phone, it will still be unlocked, no data will be lost but I won't have root access anymore nor be able to use apps that require root. Is this correct?
- Is there a way (or will there be a way that I should patiently wait for) to get the 4.4.3 update, whithout loosing data or root access? Last time, I installed the pushed update, lost root, had to wait for the tool I used to be updated, then had to root the phone again and lost all the data (yes I saved most of it but still is a pain in the arse to redo everything).
I am aware that the version just came out and I have no problem waiting for amazing devs to do their mojo, I was just wondering if updating rooted versions was possible without data loss and I should wait for it or if I will have to root the phone again ^^.
Thanks in advance for your answers

Hi guys this is asif ali recently i installed franco kernel updated version over cm11 m11 i lost root is there any way to get root back without rooting again ...
Just flash super su in your recovery
And this is the n9 forum so I don't know what device you have

Unfortunately no, in your case root is lost forever... Even if you try to root again it will brick your device. Do not attempt any further modifications for your sake, and for ours. Sorry, and good luck.
out of curiousity, this seems to be in the nexus 9 thread.
Have u tried turning it off and on again?
