VillianRom 2.4.2 - unroot?

Once I have VillainRom installed, can i remove ROOT access?
What stpes would i need to take to remove root access, or will i still need it for updates? Is it possible to be able to toggle between root and not root?
yes, you can remove root access, just use superone click to remove.
No you cannot toggle between the 2 of them because rooted reaches to every part of your phone.
I'll give that a go.
Thanks
Why would you want to remove root access?
Uninstall superuser. You'll still be rooted, but apps won't be able to actually get root access.

Hi, thanks for respon. I have installed android app, but still can not change permission from Deny to allow for superuser.
Did Framaroot say it was successful? Have you tested with a root checker app to see if your phone has been properly rooted? Are you using Superuser or SuperSU? What app isn't being granted superuser?

Install SuperSU, let it update the binary, reboot, and try again. If that doesn't work, flash the SuperSU zip via custom recovery to install the app and binary correctly.

[Q] Am I even rooted?

Hi. I have a Lenovo A7600-F tablet, and I've been trying to root it. I've heard that iRoot is the best way to root this device, so that's what I did. I went ahead and installed the APK, ran it, and clicked root. It said that it has rooted successfully, so I rebooted, and when I enter iRoot again it says I'm not rooted. However, the Superuser app is still there, and cannot be uninstalled. I click root a second time, and the Superuser app disappears. I reboot, and the Superuser app is back again and iRoot still says I'm not rooted. I installed some root apps and this is the output:
iRoot - Not rooted
Superuser - Not rooted
Root Checker Basic - Not rooted
Some other root checker - Rooted
Root Browser - Apparently rooted
Terminal Emulator - Running the command 'su' puts the number 255 before the typing space
Got Root? -
SU Exists: True
Version: 16 com.mgyun.shua.su
Root Obtained: False
I'm confused. Am I rooted? If I'm not, how do I remove the Superuser app?
By the way, when I look in my device's system files, I can see /system/app/irootsu.apk and /system/bin/su.
halp.

Oh ok. Have you tried other root methods? And sadly you can't or at least shouldn't be able to remove the superuser app

Try installing Chainfire's super su and check again i think you might not have the correct super user app installed when using iroot.
just search the playstore for it
Can you unroot through your Superuser app? If you can, try to reroot using a different method.

Changing SuperUser Apps

Hello,
I have a pretty generic tablet: PROSCAN PLT9602G I got for free for my kid to use. I got it rooted using Kingoroot and the root was successful.
Kingoroot installed their version Kingo SuperUser and I would like to install Chainfire's SuperSu but am having issues.
I downloaded and installed SuperSu from the play store and grant it su permission via the Kingo SuperUser app.
SuperSu then says it needs to update the binary but fails. I disabled Kingo SuperUser via settings>apps and retried to update SuperSu's binary without success.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Have you checked it with Root Checker?
Generally, uninstalling a SU app does not remove root, it just does not let you manage root.
If there is root available, you can use Unrooting apps and then root your phone again.
