One click root deleted files without rooting my phone? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I ran one click root (done it before flawlessly), and it gave an error message saying it couldn't find "free hd demos". So i restated my phone and my computer and ran it again, and this time it said it couldn't find asphalt, and sure enough it was gone! I then ran a terminal emulator to see if my phone was rooted, but it wasn't. Now what do I do?

Yes the one-click removes a couple apks, including aspahlt. It doesn't matter to the one-click if it finds them or not. It doesn't hurt anything to remove them or for them to not even be there when it is run, it will still go through the root process.
Once it you are rooted, you should see a program called SuperUser in your drawer. If you think the one-click didn't work, try it again.

Yes but I heard that if you delete the stock apps off your phone it becomes unable to receive updates

It stops from getting "over the air's" not the one-click
Just try again. I had to run it like 5 times yesterday, although that was mosty user error

Chances are you're rooting to go to a custom rom so updates aren't a good idea anyway. (You used to lose your root, and a whole new exploit needed finding, but I don't know of that's the case anymore)
Once an update hits custom roms will start having it worked into them within a couple days, sometimes in a couple hours, and they'll maintain root, and all that stuff.

What Biggie said. The threads you are looking for are in General. As long as you are not fully stock it will fail and probably boot into CWM after popping battery and rebooting. Just hit reboot system.

I have allowed it to fail, let it boot to CWM, but it just keeps coming back. It is quite annoying. Does anybody have a way to stop it?

Google Fotakill. It is an app you have to put in your system\app directory.

I tried FOTAKILL, it worked when I was on EC05 to stop the OTA prompt.
But it's not working for me this time. The only thing that stops it for a while is doing like you said. Accepting the update & letting it fail. It came back again one time since then & I did the same thing, this has fixed it for now. But I do still have foatakill installed if that matters.
At least I have a way to stop the prompt for a week or so. I'm just waiting for CleanGB MTD to be updated.
Not sure if it's any help, but according to the Sprint Rep I spoke with, all security updates come from Samsung. If that is true, its very disturbing. I have used the superfreeze and am running a gingerbread based rom already that does NOT have Carrier IQ. I did find the update zip in the system cache and deleted it, but no luck. The update pops up less often though, but still annoying. With that said, Samsung still has access to download files without consent, dispite a root command to freeze updates. Again very disturbing.

I copied this from a thread in development. This works great. Open up an adb shell. Copy/paste this and run it. It modifies the build.prop file to identify your system as 2.3.6, which will stop the update prompts.
Code:
su
remount rw
sed -i 's/SPH-D700-user 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD EI22 release-keys/SPH-D700-user 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD EL30 release-keys/g' /system/build.prop

DeviceManagement.apk
I have an epic 4g on rooted with cwm and cleangb. I have been irritated with the frequent system update messages I have been rec'ing lately. Yes, letting it install and then pulling the battery works fine. But I have also been looking for a way to stop the update service from running in my phone. Here's what I did:
I checked Titanium Backup ( free version ) and found "System Updates" in the list of apps under the backup/restore tab. The list wasn't sorted so I had to scroll and carefully scan each app-name to find it. Then I started to uninstall it, but I cancelled when I was prompted whether or not to uninstall DeviceManagement.apk. Now that I know the apk, I don't need to uninstall, I can rename, right? Then I went to root-explorer and browsed to /system/app. Then I hit the button to mount r/w; then I renamed DeviceManagement.apk to DeviceManagement.apk.bak. Rebooted and checked menu -> settings -> Applications to see if System Updates was running. And it's not.
Hopefully this means no more firmware updates... time will tell
hope this helps someone else out there

Why not just edit the build.prop as suggested? Can you still update PRL? I think you will get a network error.
Just a quick update, I'm still getting update notices. So renaming the .apk def did not work.

With something like root explorer you just long press on build.prop , choose edit text, change all EI22 instances to EL30 and all 2.3.5 to 2.3.6, save and exit then reboot.
Why the hell would this annoying pop-up repeatedly come up in the first place... so much for the "users" right to custom ROMS. They always have to sneak some b.s. in to annoy the XDA community. Theres a conspiracy going on at Samsung {-_-}

Hi,
I finally got back to this. As previously stated, renaming devicemanagement.apk didn't do anything regarding the autoupdate notification. I was indeed nolonger able to do a prl or profile update via home-screen -> menu -> settings -> about phone -> updates. Not only that, but, I got a little foolhardy renaming stuff in /system/app when I started getting the update notices. Long story short, I've gone back thru, re-renamed everything back from .bak to .apk with rootexplorer, and I'm still not getting my vmail downloaded to my phone.
Back on track now... as suggested, I used rootexplorer to edit /system/build.prop. only 2 instances needed to be updated. 1 from EI22 to EL30, and one more a few lines down from that, updating 2.3.5 to 2.3.6. Hopefully this will quiet the autoupdate gremlins.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Update: rebooted phone, and I still had the update to el30 in my notifications. I suspect that since the update was auto-downloaded pre-updating build.prop that I would continue to get update nags till I did the "go ahead and install update / pull battery" trick one last time.
So I did that one last time hoping that the update will nolonger auto-download since build.prop references the current versions.
Thanks for everyone's help. Hope someone else finds it useful.

[Q] 2 problems: System Update and Swype

Sending from my phone.
Problem #1: I'm running RandomRom EI22 and I've done every step to prevent the System Update message, however it's still popping up. Definitely made sure I erased the systemupdate apk and everything else. What other methods are there to make it stop being such a nuisance?
Problem #2: I uninstalled regular Swype and installed the beta, ever since the original kept asking for a system update. After installing the beta, it worked fine. Now everytime I try, it keeps saying "Try again".

Do a search here on "FOTAKill.apk" - that was the only thing that helped me on both my phone and my wife's - but we are on Froyo so this might not work for you.
With that being said, all of what you tried has been suggested for Froyo users also, but didn't work - so give it a try. Sometimes the search on XDA doesn't seem to work well for me - so what I do is use Google, and in the search terms I type "XDA FOTAKill.apk"
You have to edit your build.prop to say 2.3.6 and EL30 in all places where it says EI22 and 2.3.5. Then reboot.

I mentioned what has to be done before. Build.prop has to be edited.
Sorry, thought I mentioned that I did. My fault.
Yes, I did edit the build.prop file through Root Explorer, per your advice. Even after I did the final editing (missed a couple), the message still popped up. But, that's when I did the cache clearing and it didn't pop up again upon reboot.

The 'Android Update to EL30' is not removed by uninstalling system updates.apk that apk is meant to provision your Epic to Sprint. The Update Notification is caused by the 'Google Framework' Service. There may be ways to fool it, such as the buildprop edit suggested.

Are you having the same problem as me in that Learning Hub doesn't load at all and just FC? I think that if we could find a way to get it to launch, this suggestion to get around the warning might work. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to get LH to load.

I've had simular problems with video hub and movies the fix is easy.
First off because of rooting and custom recovery we trigger the flash counter. With this modification the system sees custom in the bootloader and locks the DRM content such as movies music ebooks whatever.
Use Chainfires triangle away app to reset the flash counter in your bootloader.
Once your done that load up your phone and go into the applications manager.
Because the apps detected custom before they have now left a piece of data in the app data that keeps the apps locked. Simple force close the app, clear cache and data and then start app the app.
Pretty much this causes the app to start fresh and upon seeing Official in your bootloader you are no longer locked out.
However there is an important thing to keep in mind. There is a safe gaurd in the phone that causes the flash counter to go back up to custom again every time you load into a custom recovery i.e. CWM or TWRP touch recovery.
This will cause the apps to relock themselves over again and you must repeat the process I've mentioned over again if you decide to keep a custom recovery. If this is too cumbersome th3 permanent fix is just to go back to stock recovery.
I've not tryed this with learning hub but have done so many times with video hub so it shouldn't be any different. All the best for you guys getting back into your apps. Stupid DRM BS Lol.

First off, thank you very much for taking the time an trouble to both respond and explain. I really appreciate it.
Although, thanks to your explanation I can now use video hub, the problem with Learning hub, unfortunately, is not resolved. Learning Hub gives an error that "rooting is detected and will close to protect copy right". As someone suggested above, just unchecking 'enable superuser' and re-booting should address this issue. It did not. For some strange reason, disabling superSU just causes learning hub to FC without even the rooting message appearing. However, with superSU enabled, Learning Hub loads and then gives the rooting message. In other words, root enabled allows Learning Hub to at least load and then close due to rooting. Root disabled causes Learning Hub to force close. I can't explain.
I tried disabling superSU, rebooting, clearing the data and cache for the Learning Hub app and then restarting the app. Still no go.
Any theories?

Hi there! Using CF Root and Stock Recovery and Stock Kernel here.
Which kind of issues you had when using Video Hub? I'm rooted and I can't use the add credit card option. It causes the app to Force Close and restart after touching "OK".
And I also have Learning Hub issues just like all of you, guys. I didn't test solutions methods yet, but I will check what happens when disabling Super User and after resetting counter using Triangle Away, but I don't know if this last method will help me as I'm already using stock recovery and flashed stock ROM using Mobile Odin, so my counter probably is already at "0".

Hi,
I found a way to make it work...
1 - Root.
2 - I used Triangle away.
3 - I installed superuser from the play store on my phone.
4 - Then, go to superSu app -> SETTINGS -> Switch superuser app.
5 - Try Learning hub and readers hub, it should work.
6 - If it works you can reinstall SuperSu (I had to wait around 20-25 minutes and then I was able to reinstall SuperSu from the play store) and uninstall superuser.
It's working well for me!! Let me know if it works for you!!!
Could some one please clue me in to what learning hub is
On the plus side, what you suggested got Learning hub to load. On the minus side, none of the videos work as they all fail to authenticate. Didn't entirely work for me. Hopefully, it helps others. Regardless, this was an excellent suggestion. Great job.

Thanks. It worked quite fine with Video hub. However, for learning hub I also had to disable SU user. This worked well except for one problem Whenever I go back to Library it detects root again and shuts down. But it will have to do for now.

I think I lost root. How do I check and fix?

I've had a few apps tell me that I'm not rooted and my wifi tether no longer works (laptop doesnt even see the network. Tried changing and using another tehtering app and it saw it but only gave me limited connection. No internet.) but when I put SU into terminal emulator it returns #.Can someone please tell me how to check to make sure my root is still fully entact and functioning.
Try opening the superuser app.
Thanks for the fast response man. I really appreciate it.
I did and it didnt do anything so I cleared the permissions for it aaaaaaand think i made it worse. in super user I scrolled down to the wifi tether app and clicked it and hit the trash icon withouth thinking it through. IS there a way to manually add allowed apps. I also noticed SU never prompts me to allow apps anymore. Really holding up my ingress progress. lol

Thanks again aero. I reflashed it and Root checker still says im not. I also tried to run fix permissions and it says an error too.I also tried to do a back up and it hangs on "done freeing up space". What would be your next step to diagnosing/fixing this. and Thanks again you guys I've been freaking out a little. lol
Just re-root.
Then reflash your favorite ROM.
How did you root in the first place?

Is it really that simple? Won't there be some issues because I have a somewhat partial root already? I honestly don't rememeber my original method. I did it back in september and havent messed with it since. I never even ran any roms I'm still bone stock. Is there a method you would suggest? or possibly a link to it?
Yes, it really is that simple.
If root still isn't working, follow instructions in my signature. The su zip is also going to wipe out any previous superuser/supersu that is present on your phone.
Alternatively, if you already have CWM on your phone, you can use this http://db.tt/okfh9vzU to update it without tripping your counter.
Thanks to your guys' help I was able to reroot using the tool kit. Now my issue is that I did this to fix my wifi tethering issue and its not. What app would you guys suggest for tethering? I dont have it on a part of myplan but I know theres ways around it. Wifi tether and barnacle didnt work (wasnt seen by laptop or other s3) and fox fi was identified, let me connect but said it was limited, then eventually went to fully connected but still wouldnt load pages or anything. If I can get one of you guys to help me solve this by suggesting an app or something I'll get out of your hair.
Do I need to load a custom rom to tether maybe? Thanks again guys.

[HELP]Shell has been granted Superuser permission?!?!

Okay, what the hell?! Every now and again (usually when I'm running Dolphin Browser and/or trying to cut/copy/paste) I get a floating notification at the bottom of the screen that says 'shell has been granted Superuser permissions'! It flashes a few times and then my phone restarts. When it turns back on, I have to restart Juice Defender and SwiftKey (default keyboard ALWAYS comes back, even if I shut down or restart myself!) manually. I went into the Superuser application the other day and there was nothing in there by the name of 'shell.' In fact, the only two things I have granted Superuser permissions to are Titanium Backup and the Android System (is this the culprit, I wonder). Either way, this problem has become a real pain in my ass. It always happens at the most inconvenient times. I would really, REALLY appreciate a solution to this problem.
Also, I have my phone set up just the way I like it, as far as the layout and what not. I've only rooted my phone, I have not replaced the G/UI or OS. If I backup my phone on Kies, wipe it and restore the backup, will it restore the root, Superuser, etc? Or just my apps, data, UI layout and what not? I'm beginning to think that I don't know enough about rooting, or just have horrible luck with it, and need to just run the phone stock. Is there a way to root, delete bloatware and unroot?
Thanks in advance for the help! I appreciate it.

Seriously? No one knows anything about this? There's another post about the same problem that has also gone unanswered.

Does it happen every time you copy paste something? Have you tied other browsers to copy paste from?
Something could have happened during rooting. I assume you have a cusom recovery? I might try and flash Chainfire's root method found here http://download.chainfire.eu/324/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip It will just overwrite the supersu and the su binaries.
If that doesn't do anything for ya I would Odin back to the stock rooted ROM found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and start over. Or try one of many great custom ROM that are available.
I don't know what else you could do. If you could get a logcat it would definitely help find out why you are having these issues, and actually solve them. There are plenty of resources on how to obtain a logcat here on xda. Or try an app from the store to save the logcat. PM me with the attachment and I will look at it for you.
I could be totally wrong. BUT I think its samsung doing it. When I denied it permissions it restarted. I did it again and it did the same. I think its intertwined b.c I never had it with AOSP roms
