My phone was rooted using Super One click prior to updating to 4.1.57. I updated my Atrix without unrooting. The update took, but now I'm unable to unroot my phone. No mods were installed. Only Titanium back up. Please help. How do I remove superuser? I tried using Super One Click, but it states "running psneuter."
I had to do a factory reset after updating my rooted phone in order to get all the apps that I had frozen with TI backup. The reset also removed the superuser app icon.
Thanks, but factory reset failed to remove super user for me.
root atrix
to my feel exactly the same with my atrix and not to restore it to values of manufactures have been able to remove the root icon.
Thank you if you find the solution the make me know and I hare the same with you
Hello,
I require some help as my phone has been acting really weird recently. I first bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 earlier in September that was loaded with ICS. I am currently in Singapore and I got the phone from Starhub.
I attempted to root the phone in ICS, and succeeded in doing so. There were no problems at that point in time.
Recently, there was an update notification that kept prompting me to update to Jelly Bean. There were a few options if I wanted to postpone it: Update now, Remind in 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours. I found it really irritating, so I eventually just clicked to update it now.
The update went as planned, but when I restarted my phone, my SuperSU refuses to work. When I go into it, it tells me "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" But when I click "Continue", it says Installation Failed! I have tried going to settings, disabling Superuser, and then attempting to use superuser to update the binary. It did not work. When I attempted to disable superuser under settings>SuperSU, it says "Uninstallation failed!"
I attempted to de-root using a guide from GalaxyS3Root website, which told me to download Odin Lite, Odin Kernel and Triangle Away.
However, Triangle Away refuses to work with an error message "Unfortunately, Triangle Away has stopped".
The Odin Lite also refuses to work by saying "Could not detect device model".
Am at a loss as to what to do now...
Tried using Titanium Backup as well, but it seems to be unable to back up my files without using Root.
Please help!!
You have several options. Easiest ones: just backup your stuff and either flash the lastest leak (ELK4) which is already rooted and has extra goodies or simply wipe your phone (get into recovery and factory reset it). Your rom (JB) wasn't rooted to begin with so you won't have root anymore. There's probably a way to do it without wiping but i usually don't bother. It's generally less of a hassle to backup and wipe.
Edit: oh sorry, missed the part where you couldn't backup without root. To be honest, i never use titanium, it always causes problems when i restore stuff. I just backup what i need by hand (sms's with a sms backup app, find my save's files, etc)
Thanks

Thanks for the speedy reply!
To backup my stuff, I just have to plug my phone to my computer and drag &drop everything, yes?
Sorry I'm very new to the whole android thing, and I'm not very tech-savvy to begin with. When you say Flash the latest leak, how do I do this?
If I factory reset my phone now will I brick it?
That's such an overkill. Just boot into recovery mode and root your phone again with Odin. There are plenty of guides around.

this is because after the update, your phone is no longer rooted.

Triangle Away is not required for rooted, it just resets a counter to 0. nothing very much to it.

I think the best thing u can do right now is.
1. titanium backup to SD.
2. load a new rom via odin 3.04
3. install cf root to root the phone via odin 3.04
4. install titanium backup and restore your phone.
i know it can be very annoying because all the singaporean ah beng hp shops has no idea now to repair the phone.
I upgraded to 4.0.3R5 a few weeks ago and rooted straight away. The rooting process didn't seem successful until I noticed Titanimum Backup saying I have Root. So I assumed I had and proceeded to restore a backup up my apps and re-install the missing ones from the store. I have now noticed when I power cycle I loose root. Power cycle again and I have root. Everything works fine (except stuff requiring root) until I go back to the Root version of the boot. I have noticed that when I'm on a rooted version I have 2 or more extra apps (the position of SuperSU moves to the next page) and using root explorer I notice my Vendor folder is there, it's missing when I boot and don't have root)
So any idea whats going on ? Is it and easy fix ?
Reroot I had no problems

There are two system partitions.... system0 & system1.... seems yor tab does not like the rooted system so chooses to boot the normal system from time to time. Weird Try to reinstall the rom then reboot and see if your on the same one still. Then reboot couple of times and check.... then proced with root.
Mine was doing this I had r5 and r1a rooted.... it was a pain in the arse too
So do you think I could delete one of the systems?
I will stick it out until the next version is out if it's too much hassle.

Use AIO tool. 'Rescue back-door'. Then manually flash the file through recovery. Zip file link in signature and a FAQ including how to flash from recovery.
Well, the "Rescue back-door" was the reason I got to the 50% root in the first place...at least it seems like it. I had root working just fine, then tried "Rescue back-door" AIO 4.0 it asked for update, so I did it, and from that it went south.
Anyhow here are the steps I took to fix this :
I've used AIO 5.2 to unroot (had to boot twice to get to the rooted system), then let it download and install update, which it failed at the end as usual. Then started root process in AIO and during first reboot disconnected usb cable, because from previous experience AIO would fail because after first root it would start system without the previous root steps. Then rebooted tablet and plugged in usb cable, let AIO finish rooting and voila, root stayed after reboot, it fixed it.
I don't know if removing cable actually helped, or v5.2 has better rooting process then v5.0 had, or all this is irrelevant because I was messing with the tablet, flashing and trying and trying until it gave in...

So after a few more days messing with this i'm still stuck. I booted into recovery , performed a factory rest, rebooted and did it again. Then I re-installed a full install of R5 , rebooted, factory reset. When I first boot I have (IRC) 30 apps, powercycle again I have 33 (IRC) apps, it appears I have extra ones that only appear in the vendor directory, again IRC. So rooted both partitions , double booting each time AIO said it was rebooting, I had root on both sides, however certain apps when started on the different partition were losing their settings. So with Root Explorer I decided to do a little trimming on one partition, I deleted the vendor and system folders and the tablet rebooted. So now I have one dead partition and one good. The good one works fine and is rooted, when I reboot it gets stuck in a boot loop at the Sony logo, press and hold the power button for a few secs and it reboots again , apps and settings unaffected.
So how do I have 2 partitions and how do i delete one ?
Hi... My brother owns the P765. Today morning he got a notification of an ota update which he happily clicked. But now the phone doesn't boot up. Gets stuck on the lg logo. Is there a solution for this?
I personally own a Samsung so I have no idea what to do on an LG phone.
Just for info he was on stock non rooted... Out of the box software.
Would appreciate any help...
Thank you...

You have 2 options:
Factory reset: http://www.resettoo.com/hard-reset-lg-optimus-l9-p769-to-restore-factory-settings
(Warning, you will loose date)
If that does not work, reflash 10G KDZ: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465
Install OTA RootKeeper by Voodoo and use it to backup root
Now re-download the update:
1.) Force stop Google Service Framework in Apps under Settings.
2.) Clear data on Google Services Framework.
3.) Check for Update in About phone under Settings.
Repeat this a few times and the update should start downloading.
After this you will run OTA RootKeeper by Voodoo and restore root.
Download and install BusyBox by Stephen (Stericson) and re-install.
Now reboot.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
My brother doesn't want root.
So both methods will eventually lose the data..? Any way to preserve the data?

I read that just flashing the KDZ should preserve data. Don't quote me on that.
Ok... So I tried Hard Reset. It got reset... But it is still stuck on the LG logo on reboot. Then I tried the Offline KDZ method. I got everything right until I start the upgrade. The Update Tool wont recognize the connected device. I have the United drivers installed, and the http running. What am I missing?
Ok... I went to the LG Service Center.
After 15-20 minutes they said "the software failed to load... Need to replace the motherboard".
What is the point of OTA updates, if they screw the MB (can it?). Good thing the phone was in warranty.

Hi,
I bought a Nexus 5 on amazon, and when it came in, it went through the setup process as if it were a brand new phone. However, as soon as it got to the home page, i noticed that SuperSU was installed, and it was in the app drawer. I did not want a rooted phone, so i installed root checker to see if the phone was rooted. Root checker said it was not rooted, so i thought i was safe to uninstall superSU. But when I launch superSU, it gives me a popup that says that there is no supersu binary installed or something, and i can't access the app further than that. Is there any way to uninstall it otherwise? I also went to the play store to uninstall it but it just says that it will uninstall all updates. Also, if i install marshmallow, will that fix the problem? i heard that the OTA update for M will remove root, supersu, etc.
thanks

yes, it is listed there, and when i click on it, it gives me options to force stop it, uninstall updates, or disable it. But i heard that if i try to install OTA updates on the phone, it will stop halfway cause the updates now check for stuff like supersu

If there is no option to uninstall, it is on the system partition, you will need to root to remove it, or better reinstall stock firmware.
the devices was rooted at some time and it was not unrooted correctly, I would not allow the device to update ota, because you just do not know if stock rom is complete.

I have decided to give back the phone, I really don't want that kinda risky device on me for the next 2 years... however, will i be able to factory reset it before i send it back? or will the phone mess up? (when i initially got the phone, i THINK it was factory reset because i had to go through the default android setup process) i just don't want the next owner to gain any of my information or anything even if i delete everything i have on it so far and disconnect my google account

factory reset should be safe.
flashing firmware, is what the seller should have done, before shipping
