Rooting Problems

I had my phone rooted and decided to unroot to get the OTA update which I did, but I tried rooting the phone again and I can't no longer root the phone.
Has any one experience this before?

Can I use unrevoked?

i dont know about unrevoked. if you do the factory reset and reroot using toasts method, there is a stock rom you can flash that has the OTA update biult in that will allow you to keep the root. all of the info is on the first page where toast describes the rooting process. hope this helps.

I guess there is no way to revoked so I can root my phone again. I like to learn if this is possible I guess, I will miss the tether app that I enjoy so much.
Please any one

I am still trying to root my evo after installing the OTA and have not been able to root it again.
Can anyone help if possible?
I will appreciate any suggestions at this point
Thanks in advance

You can use the unrevoked method if you are just mainly using it for the tether app.

[Q] Root, but not recognizing

What is up…Question: My Samsung Genex is seems to be unlocked, as I unlocked it with the toolkit and the visual unlock appears during the Google boot. However, Superuser, Busybox and Rom Manager do not recognize the device as unlocked.
With no luck, I have re-rooted the device via toolkit several times.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks All!

i had this problem just a few days ago, or a similar one. initially i rooted my phone. then i got the OTA update since i was still stock. i accepted the update but never checked root until later and i had lost root. but for whatever reason i could not get back root no matter how much i tried.
i used the superboot one click method, over and over and over, but it kept failing. then one time if finally just worked and rooted. i didnt do anything different. so that's all the experience i can help you with...

Solved. Thanks to the fine folks that created the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit!

how? please explain , im having the same problem

[Q] root problem with 4.3 stock rom

Hi, I upgraded to the 4.3 yesterday and lost my root then I re rooted my [email protected] s3 i747 and it was working then all of a sudden it stopped and now this stupid security policy is blocking everything. I've tried everything to stop it. I tried to re root it and it still didn't work and apparently I lost root access, I used the chainfire autoroot with stock recovery. Does anyone know how to root the 4.3 and keep the stock recovery just like the root I used before. Thanks.

Little research could have provided you with the answer. Right now it looks like there is no permanent root. Once root is lost there doesn't seem to be any way to get it back. It may take some time for a solution to be found.

[Q] Root HTC one m8 with android 5.0.1

Apparently my phone has some bugs after rooting now, so I'd like to get rid of it!
I used Redpoint73's way of rooting. Can somebody please help me?!
Hey guys!
After a few years of iphone, i'm back to HTC again! Now I would like to root my M8, but to be honest, I don't really get it.
I see so many different options and ways to do this. The only thing I want is to have root access, I don't want a custon rom.
Who can help me with this and tell me how to do this.
Cheers& many thanks!

1) Unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.com
2) Install custom recovery
3) Download latest (v2.46) SuperSU zip and flash in recovery
There are a few different options to root once you do steps 1 and 2, but what I suggest above is the easiest IMO.
AFAIK, steps 1 and 2 above are mandatory on Lollipop. Previously, there was the option to (using sunshine s-off apk) temp root, s-off, and unlock the bootloader (and therefore bypass HTCDev.com). But I think the temp root was since patched by HTC, and you need to now root before sunshine.

Thank you very much! This is what I needed!

Can you please also tell me how to unroot?
Somehow my phone is acting up strange since I rooted it.
I see in supersu the option to unroot completely, does that work?
Thanks:good:

Rooting should not effect your device in any negative way. If you're having issues, it's likely something you did after rooting.

Well, the battery drained quite a bit. I deleted some rooted apps and that problem seems solved. But still my phone is acting strange. And now I also have some line on my screen. That has nothing to do with the root, but I want to send back my phone. So can you please tell me how to unroot my HTC?

Unroot my Samsung Tab S

I have a rooted Samsung Tab S wifi with this firmware installed T800XXU1ANFB. In order to unroot do i need to flash it with the same stock firmware it has on it. Or can i flash it with an updated stock firmware?

Just select full unroot from settings in the supersu app.

I am a newbie... so here goes.
I did root it but when I go to verify it it doesn't verify. SuperSU was put on my device, but it wants to update the binary and I did that, but it keeps failing.
What I want to do is unroot it entirely and set it back to factory settings so I went to the settings in SuperSU like said above. If it is unrooted, how would I know? SuperSU is still on my table And only able to.bto.be disabled instead of e tirely removed.
I also think it didn't work because maybe I was trying to root it with a auto file for kitkat instead of lollipop. And links to the version for this lollipop are in a few places but each time I try to extract what I've downloaded the file is corrupt and it never unzips.
I've got the galaxy tab s 10.5; 16gb; wifi only (sm-t800) running lollipop 5.0.2
I'd really like to root so I can get the bloatware off, but if it isn't possible at the moment then I'd might as well go back to an unrooted device.
I'll take all the help I can get or be directed to. I've been pulling my hair out for two days on how to figure it out.

After you have unrooted reboot and you will be unrooted. Root can be verified with Root validator.
For root you can use my build here:

I'm having a different problem but I am sure it is related to this topic.
I ended up being properly rooted after I got the correct one for lollpop 5.0.2. Then I realized that The Sims Freeplay would not work. I tried to use root cloak and I had no luck. I thend tried to use xposed, but it hasn't been upgraded to Lollipop yet.... so I thought about if rooting my device was really worth it since the only game I religiously play is The Sims Freeplay (apparently they are cracking down on people who hack their game.... which is all good and well because because it has nothing to do with my game... I have a rooted device to get rid of bloatware, not to hack the game that I play in a legit way -- but whatever)...
So I chose to unroot from SuperSU like I did once before (when I wasn't properly rooted, but SU was still on my device) just to see what would happen.
I've used Odin two more times to put back the original root file I got to work for Lollipop and now on the second reboot, SuperSU still hasn't been put on my device (like it originally had did long before I even rooted properly).
So now TWRP boots up every time I want to just go straight to my download screen and from there I click on download to get to my screen. That's when I use odin and the cf-auto.
I hope I don't sound confusing. I just want to know where can I go from here?
Apparently the Sims Freeplay is being a real PITA about people trying to play their game on a root device (doesn't surprise me with EA), but I want to play it on my device rooted or not... but now my tablet feels like it's both. It's not straight out of the store box and it's not fully rooted...
What the heck am I doing wrong now?

If you have twrp installed you don't need to flash cfautoroot again. Just reboot from within twrp and it will offer to root.
If you are still having problems see the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/root-cf-autoroot-twrp-t800-t3079488
If you are having problems getting into download mode you are not doing it properly.
Hold POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME.

Under which category will it offer to root and will there be a way to get the sims freeplay working? If not I'd like to get back to straight out of the box for the tablet... but something tells me after reading for a few hours last night that thats impossible.

If you unroot with the supersu app you will be fully unrooted.
To reroot boot into twrp then reboot.
