I was rooted and soff long ago and I currently have a cm 10.2 rom installed. I installed supersu from the playstore to use AV4 on a 4.3 rom and I didn't realize I would lose root.
I can still access bootloader and it says I'm soff. I've completely forgotten how to root again. I've looked at most of the root guides on different forums but I'm still at a loss.
Can anybody direct me on what I need to do please?

In 10.2 ( dastins ) superuser is located in the settings menu.
Reread the op, the instructions are there.

Ok thank you for your response hossman. The only thing I see regarding superuser I dastins OP is to toggle back and forth in the settings between apps and apps & adb. I'm not sure if that's what your referring to.
My issue is that when I try to access an app that needs root it tells me my phone is not rooted.
Perhaps you can elaborate for me just a little please. I've literally spent hours last night and today trying to figure out what I need to do. But I'm at a loss. Thank you

Maybe you need to reflash, superuser works out of the box when following the instructions given

Guess I needed to flash the supersu update zip and then flash a ROM. Voila. I searched so hard for such an easy fix. Thanks for your help hoss

Hello all, I just rooted my ota 2.3 EVO using the new revolutionary. I got root, awesome. Did a back up and them tried installing a new Rom. I tried the synergy rc1 and rc2 and after booting either one I get constant Android force closes. Any ideas or maybe the best roms?
I did a search first and found nothing so any help gets a big thank you.

Also, should I stay with 2.3 or use the ruu thing and go back to 2.2?
And yes, I am a root noob

Did you install an recovery menu? Isnt your evo running revoked root?
I rooted for first time yesterday using the new revolutionary s-off. During root I was prompted to install clock something and did so. I also made a backup that I have used successfully after the failed Rom. I assume I have recover because I can access it from the bootloader

Are you trying to do a factory update on a rooted device? You cant if I'm not mistaken. You need to flash a Rom built for your device

How do I flash it to stock? All I did was download a root program.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Do not accept the OTA
Just flash any rom based on the OTA

If you have TWRP instead of the stock recovery, then your bootloader is unlocked. You can only install the official OTA if you're locked and on the stock recovery. You'll need to use an RUU to get back to stock in order to accept the OTA, but you'll lose root. Some of the devs have cracked it and made the firmware available for flashing if you're unlocked. What's your reason for wanting to take the OTA if I may ask?

I want wallet to work without modifications, and I need the WiFi issue fixed. Last time I tried the RUU, it still kept TeamWin on the phone. At least, I think.

The RUU will write the stock recovery and ROM onto the phone, so it looks like that didn't work for you.
If you want wallet working, flash a ROM based on the new OTA. I would suggest either MeanROM or Viper4G. Unrooting to take the OTA is never the correct option.
Meanrom is the way to go if you want the wallet to work as it should, mikey has posted good instructions in his thread

I followed Step 3 on these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426377 and managed to get root after running Clockworkmod on the SuperSU.zip file that was dropped in from the RecoveryInstallerForNoobs.zip file.

Go to Cyanogen Mod official website ... You can get a whole lot information there... !!! its is the only rom which is providing jellybean 4.1.2 on AMAZE 4g
Please read the "pinned" threads located at the top of the various forums. All of the info you seek is located there. The brief reader's digest version is as follows: You need to download and have a working adb setup. You also need some drivers from the HTC website. While there you need to register as a developer and follow the instructions. If followed correctly they'll give you a binary blob that you need to push to your phone from windows to unlock your bootloader. You'll still be s-on but unlocked. Then depending on which version of the amaze you have and which version of android is currently running on it there are different procedures for attaining s-off, which is a requirement if using a non-T-Mobile US device. After you've gotten those things in order you can begin flashing.
None of this is difficult, but it does require reading on your part, and nobody here is going to hold your hand, especially if they see you haven't made any effort by at least reading the instruction threads.
Just flash the SuperSU.zip file via recovery. For some customs roms, you won't need to root your phone before flashing, your phone will automatically get root access one you flash them. All you will need is having a custom recovery .

Actually you're not quite on point. Without unlocking your bootloader you can't flash a recovery and smartflash on 4ext doesn't work properly without a working busybox and superuser. So after unlocking and flashing or pushing a superuser apk you need to also install busybox too or smartflash can't write to the protected partitions.
I think everyone knows they cannot flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader first.

LOL you'd be surprised what kind of questions get asked here and how often the same ones are repeated, especially in this forum where newbies can post until eligible for the other forums. Look and see how many threads and individual posts are here, the vast majority are the same basic questions asked over and over by those who've never bothered to read the information posts pinned to top of each forum.
You are right.

I want to s-off my htc amaze mobile set. can anybody give link to download HTC Amaze Hasoon2000 S-off All-in-one Toolkit 1.1 from the website? will be grateful.
You can't s~off the amaze with a tool kit, you have to use the wire trick using the joupunut bear program. No other way around it, check YouTube you'll find a video tutorial

Hey all. Finally decided to root my one. Does it make sense to wait for it's kitkat ota update and then root ? Would this change any of the steps in the root process?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
You should wait, if you root you can download a Rom that is 4.4.2. But things like WiFi calling doesn't work.
Go ahead and root. After a official 4.4.2 is released someone will put out a custom ROM that will already have root as well so why wait

Yes s-off that might be patched until a new exploit like gustav said and also imo a custom recovery to have some fun and trying out a few custom roms while you wait for an update just remember to use the update you need a locked bootloader and IIRC you need a stock recovery both not hard to get (someone plz correct me if im wrong about recovery)
Thanks guys I rooted but have been having trouble getting some tethering apps to work I think my kernel is write protected? Can anyone recommend a rom that has cool customization stuff and is also good with tethering?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Edit - I flashed insertcoin and the tethering works great.
I unlocked the phone using rumrunner, and then loaded cwm recovery. I then installed the superuser, and it appears to succeed. Then I checked root with root checker and it said sorry you don't have proper root. I have checked my steps again and again, but am still pretty new to htc.

are you s-off?
what version of SuperSu did you flash? What Rom are you running? The latest SuperSU 1.94? Doesn't work for 4.2.2. If your S-off why and have CWM recovery why not flash a custom rom?
I am trying to do just that. I can't really find any up to date info to help me step by step, so I am piecing together the newest info I can find. I am a little confused right now. Stuck on trying to root. I flashed superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip

Do I need to root to load a custom rom? Is s-off =root on htc? I guess I have deleted everything off the phone and now it is stuck at the white htc screen. I can get to recovery but did not perform any backups. I can get to bootloader and recovery and I guess need to sideload a rom. I haven't had time the last few days to try anything new. Thanks for the input, I need to fix my dna so I can get off of this note 2 I don't like. I don't understand why htc doesn't sell better.... my dna was the **** before I ruined it!
S-off is secure flag removed meaning you can install unsigned firmware (eng hboot) unlocked means you can write to system partition and other secure partitions. Root means you have an app (like supersu) able to have other apps execute admin (root for Linux) commands. If you have cwm installed, just side load a pre rooted Rom from development sections.

Thanks, I will try the sideload. Any ideas where I can find such a rom. Oh wait I think I s-on ed trying to fix it.... will I still be able to fast boot USB and unlock again for s-off? I sure hope so.
