Alright, so I previously rooted my slide; installed the SU.apk, ect. ect.
I had some cool stuff namely Wifi Tether, Root Explorer, and Droidcap. Anyways, I got a message saying that the OTA update was available AND STUPIDLY without backing up via Clockwork I ran the update.
None of my root programs seem to be working, some will open but wont function properly. Yeah I messed up :/ But what now? Do I have to reroot or is there a slightly simpler solution? Thanks guys
UPDATE: Oh wow, I didn't even realize there was a new root method, and it particularly concerns my problem. I feel bad for posting this, and the mods should definitely delete this.

you need the gapps if you are going to run cyanogenmod, otherwise you wont have things like market, gmail, google talk, etc

Yeah I flashed the gapps.zip right after I flashed CM and the Market didnt show until after I did a factory reset. Gmail and the oother goodies were all there but the market was awol....Weird, but fixed now.
Thanks though. I should have added that to my previous post.
This looks like thread that was meant for Q&A not development...

I recently read a posting on TalkAndroid.com about Revoked, sounded pretty good and so I went to try it out. Downloaded the Mac version ( It's what I work on here at my job ), installed it. Then followed it's instructions setting the USB to Debugging. Once that was done it proceeded ( after I pressed Ok ) to begin the rooting process. Only thing is that it stopped, said "Failed to get root, is your firmware too new?".
I didn't see a listing of firmwares that were compatible with Revoked 3 and was just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this? Any information would be great, my phone is in perfect working order so no worries there.
Thanks
No one has any ideas on this?
you have to uninstall some apps. some of them keep unrEVOked from working properly. The one that was preventing me was the ESPN scorecenter.
Yeah.... Not sure. I know it took me several tries to achieve root with it but it eventually worked.
Sounds like you do not have all the necessary drivers. Did you install then uninstall HTC sync?

I don't have HTC Sync on the Mac, so I know it's not that. I'll uninstall the ESPN app and maybe just reset it completely to factory settings first. That way I can be sure it's got nothing to bother it then.
WOOT! I'm ROOTED and Backed Up now I'm getting Cyanogen!

Hi, can u explain how it happen? becouse me too have the same problem with OSX Lion.
I've searched high and low for a solution to this that works for me, both here and everywhere else Google would point me, but I have yet to find one that works, so I hope someone can help me.
I've an original Desire running a rooted Froyo ROM, which was rooted using unrevoked ages ago (probably a year or so no). When I originally rooted it, everything worked perfectly. A few months ago I ran the newest version of unrevoked over it again to update the recovery to the latest clockwork and it appeared to work fine, but ever since I did this the superuser app will continually pop up asking for permissions every time any app that needs root is run (sometimes MANY times, as when Titanium backup is run).
I've tried different things to see if I could fix it - clearing the data for the Superuser app, clearing the Dalvik cache, even reflashing the older clockwork recovery back onto my phone with the older version of unrevoked which originally worked, but with no luck. The phone is still S-ON, but I don't see why that would matter when I had no problems with the original rooting of the phone.
I'm stuck and am not sure where to go from here, so any advice would be very appreciated.

When you're on Superuser app, do you see your apps with green button on the rigth ?
Witch version of Superuser app do you use ? Mine is v2.3.6.3 with cmd su v2.3.1-ef
Also, when being asked for permission, is "Remember" checked?
why not just re-root?

Yes you should have a list of allowed apps on opening the su app itself - click apps on top left. The allowed apps shouldn't keep requesting permission each time.
You coukkd uninstall su app then reinstall from market?
Nandroid backup first!
Thanks for the all the replies, much appreciated!
@punky.mtp & @stringer7: Yes, I can see the apps I've granted permissions to in the Superuser app, each has a green button against it. I'm not sure of the current version of SU I'm running, but I know it's not the latest version. I've tried to update it from the Market but it won't over-write the existing installed SU. I'm doing a nandroid as I type and will try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that helps.
@HiVoltage85: Yes, I've set the remember checkbox as well for each app when granting permission.
@BigMrB: I've already re-rooted with different versions of unrevoked, several times, which hasn't fixed the problem.
I'll let you know how I go.
Sorry, I'm giving away my ignorance, but how do I uninstall my current Superuser app? The uninstall button is disabled in the manage applications part of the phone's setup.
Edit - Never mind, I found how to do it.
Looks like I have it fixed. I was able to remove the old Superuser app and install a new one from recovery (v2.3.6.3) which works properly and doesn't keep asking for permissions repeatedly. Thanks for the suggestions and help!
Hello everyone, I'm a new member to this site, and I've heard that this site is where i can go to get some answers to problems, that being said, i was hoping y'all can help me with a problem I'm having with my phone.
So I rooted my Sprint LG G2 phone (this is the first time I've ever rooted a phone), then i went to remove some unwanted apps off the phone, then I thought to test and see if I can go back to stock, and without even thinking about the removed apps that i could've restored, I did a factory reset on my phone, it boots up, and I'm still rooted, and the apps that I removed did not come back, so I went to this app call "superSU" and did a full unroot, after that, I restarted my phone, and I still notice that I have root apps installed like "G2 Xsposed, Xposed Installer, Unistall, and Root Browser, so I opened up "Root Checker", it says my device does not have root access, yet I still have G2 Xposed, as well as other root apps I have, so I'm hoping that I can get the apps that came with the phone back (apps like "Clock Widget, Weather Wiget, Music Wiget, Music, SVI settings"), and go back to when I first bought this phone. Is there any simple method I can do to fix these problems with y'all help, I would really appreiate it.
Here are snaphots.

NP, use titanium backup to make backups of your system apps before you remove them

titanium backup is gravy just open it give it root permissions and than you can go to the backup/restore tab and do either of those per app.
Ok, thanks ☺
