Hi,
I'm starting to think I might have some serious issue with my HD.
I'm on my third ROM(LeeDroid) and every one seems to have issues with Superuser. When an app requests root, I get the pop up to allow or deny, but I cant select allow. I can deny, then open superuser and swap the app to allow but that seems a bit odd.
Is Superuser supposed to work this way?
Dolphin HD is another app giving me trouble. If a secure website asks me to input a username and password, I enter them in but i cant select OK to issue them to that web server.
Related or am I going mad?
Sorry, I did try searching on this but as you can see, its not easy to know what to search for.
Sorry to self bump but this has me totally out of ideas

Have you tried clearing data from superuser and dolphin hd? It might help in some cases...If you use CWM try to "fix permissions"....

Thanks for the suggestion but yes, I tried all that.
I must have done something wrong in the rooting process or something.
I was trying to avoid this but I guess the only way to know is to return to stock and start again. Not sure ill both with that as I now have the phone the way I like and at least I have the SDK if I need to do anything serious.

Does anyone know of a "1.47.651.1 ROM" that:
• Is rooted WITHOUT Super User(meaning "adb shell" brings up "#", not a "$" and then "su" to get "#")
• Isn't tweaked to hell
• Has working AND updated EVDO & WiMax Radios
That's all I want, but can't seem to find it in this jumble of hacked ROMs and special do-dads.
I think that the "start over with 1.47" thread gets you to stock with everything updated, except that you're going to have superuser access.
It's probably your best bet. Why don't you want superuser permissions?
Because typing "su" an extra step, and it also asks me to give permissions everytime something with root access pops up. So annoying. I just want it to work lol.

It should only ask for the application once. If you don't have it, the application won't run at all will it?

Seems to do it a lot, and even stops me to ask me if certain programs are allowed to communicate with Google servers every so often. Is SU something that is required NOW for a root to work? Because my last phone didn't (Black) didn't have it on there, had 1.47, and rooted fine with the flash exploit method.
It's not working for my white phone though, so I had to use SimpleRoot (which took me back to a WAY earlier version), and flash my way up to 1.47.

I do not have your issues with the superuser permission app. It maintains a list of all allowed apps. Once you ass it as "always allowed", you never see it prompt for that app/function, again.

Hi,
I have the Htc Desire android 2.1 with launcher pro. I loved it until recently it is showing that Launcher Pro has expired & it won't allow me to do anything. I restarted the phone, took out the battery but nothing seems to work. I am basically locked out because I trusted this product. Please help me out here, I would appreciate it. Again, htc Desire 2.1,launcher pro free version saying expired & opening up the browser only. I can't do anything else & I can't reboot as I would lose my contacts & data.
I tried looking at the solutions provided over the internet but nothing suits my situation. A lot of those solutions work for android 2.2 but I have 2.1 which I cannot update right now. Please help me people.
Thanks in advance. My phone is bricked until one of you guys can tell me a solution.
First of all that is not a brick. Second can you get in to settings? If yes, got to application management go to launcherpro and clear the defaults hit the home button and select the Sense launcher or download 'ClearDefaultHome' and clear the defaults. If that does not work you can do a factory reset but you will lose all your data.
And last where did you get that version of launcher pro? From the market?
Same problem here - but for the HTC Wildfire...
I'm having exactly the same problem - My version of Launcher pro was downloaded from the Android Market and has worked fine until this morning when it expired.
My phone will not let me access my home screen or any of my applications. When I press 'Home' it just takes me to my browser which contains an error message stating 'You do not have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionall, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request'.
As I cannot access my home screen, I am unable to access my settings in order to manage my applications and uninstall Launcher Pro... Starting to panic now!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Thanks x
Not bricked.
Erm, your phone is not bricked.
Well the way i see it,
1) you could email the maker of launcher pro and explain your situation, though I think its more of a user error
2) Do what TheGhost1233 said, try to go into your settings, and select clear default on launcher pro app. Use htc sense again.
3) factory reset everything and set up everything once again
4) root and flash a new rom (Its more fun )
edit* For people who can't access their settings, try downloading another app that allows you to change settings.
If a factory reset is a to big of a step you could also try to remover launcherpro (in recovery) via ADB.
Thanks for your replies! As ghost1233 and friedkimchi suggest, I am unable to go into my settings or do absolute anything with the phone. I have the exact same problem as described by the other person in this thread of not being able to anything but just go to the browser which I cannot use because wifi is not enabled and cannot be because I can't access anything.
I bought the launcher pro from the android market and it was a free version which I have been using for months now. I seriously want to avoid the factory reset thing until I can because I do not want to lose the data. If I have to then I will but just trying to see if I can avoid it somehow. Nothing seems to be working now.
Yes The Ghost1233, factory reset is a big step because I would lose all my data and contacts. But then, what is ADB and I thought recovery meant factory reset.

Thanks, this seems helpful and points us in the direction where everyone is suggesting us to go to i.e. install ADB and uninstall Launcher pro in recovery mode. There is this video provided in this link which tells how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
Is this what you guys think is the last resort we have here for this problem and if I install ADB, would that be make my phone rooted?
Thanks for all your help and replies!
No it won't root your phone but you will run in to the problem that your phone probably does not have USB debugging enabled.
But i suggest you follow the linked thread (the launcherpro forums) for further help.
I do not obviously want to run into any kind of problems. What do you suggest then. This is not something that I am choosing, I did not find any other options. Please suggest what would be my options given my situation. I am not a nerd so I do not know if I will be able to do all this installation thing properly or not. This was kind of a relief that this would not root my phone. I don't know why I am afraid of it but I really like the handset and I don't want it to be screwed because of anything.
Thanks
a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)

You used free version of launcherpro, right?

Yes, that's right. It was a free version that I have downloaded from the android market.
idk if some of you are still having the same problem but if you are, i got this from another forum and it seemed to work for them:
Hold down the 'home' key in order to start your native task manager.
You should see the Settings icon, probably in the bottom right, of your tasks.
If you don't see Settings, double-tap your Home key in order to open Voice Dialing. When it opens, say 'Open Settings.'
Once you're in Settings, go to Applications, and remove LauncherPro.
Hope this helps.

if that doesn't work you, and could open the browser type this in:
(it should download adw launcher)

ps. my cousin had this problem and search for a solution and found it, just thought i would share since. xda always helps me out
Hey, I tried doing all this except for the download thing but it does not work. I cannot download anything because wifi is disabled and there is no way I can enable it. If I could have had a back up of my data I would have probably tried the hard reset.
I really appreciate all you folks to try and help me out. I am still trying.

the download worked for my cousin.
when she held the home button it opens the most recent apps. and she had the browser there. she opened up the broswer and typed that in. and it worked now she has adw launcher.
Here is the case:
As we know, after editing a software, we need to sign for it just in order to use it. I figured how to edit softwares so that it wont be killed by the system when running background. When testing in Android 2.3.5, with sense 3.5, everything goes smoothly. (I need to simply explain how the installation thing works just so it makes sense. I install the edited version first, move it to system/app, for it requires to be a system app to run the part of code. Then I reboot, and reinstall the original version. [Here is why: This app is an IM app, which means it requires internet connection to the online server, but it also automatically check the signature. If the signature is not the same as the known one, it will not allow me to connect to the server, which makes the app useless.] After this step, the checking mechanism would be tricked. However, in android 4.0, here comes the problem. I CANNOT INSTALL THE SAME APP WITH DIFFERENT SIGNATURE TWICE. The cheating mechanism will not work if I cannot install it twice. This is the biggest problem I am facing right now. Can you guys help me. Thanks a lot.
Um..Is this question that difficult..I mean, it requires to go over the signature checking mechanism of the phone. I really dont know what part of code in the rom this part belongs to, otherwise I can try it myself... And, I do think there is someone solved this question in previous roms like sense 3.5 or sense 3.0, etc, for there were people asking this kind of question...Although their answer is not helpful at all...
sign the zip yourself if toggling permissions in recovery wont work.
you can incorporate just about anything you wont into an image so long as you either change the permission, sign it yourself, or force the update via adb

I do have signed it, but the signature of the original app is different, and android 4.0 doesnt allow me to replace the same app which has a different signature...
have you tried incorporating the app into the rom before you flash it?

I've disabled lots of apps I won't use - great feature, but I want to re-enable the stock browser to use it's download video feature.
Out of the whole list it's the only one that hasn't got a highlighted, 'pressable' enable button??
I tried uninstalling the Firefox Beta thinking it might ask what browser I wanted to use but no go.
Anybody got any idea please?

i had this too. but i had to do factory reset anyway, so that solved the problem. but otherwise i couldn't find a solution of how to re-enable stock browser
I couldn't even disable the stock browser so can't help there, but I could in 1.28
Ah... it's Eddy Elevate Didn't get an answer over there on the new help section so thought I'd risk it on here!
I think I'll just stick with Firefox, I really don't want to do a factory reset just after I've got everything just as I want it. I couldn't be bothered with another restore
Unless anyone else has an answer....
There must be a way of doing it, perhaps some sort of adb command?
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

Just run any app that needs root and it will prompt you again. You cake also download root checker from play store.

Thank you too eles. I actually just did that and it told me I dont not have proper root access. But Terminal emulator does show # when prompted. Can either of you tell me how what may have caused this and how to fix it. I did just get the 4.1.1 update from T-mo so Im thinking maybe that.
Reflash superuser with your recovery.

Yes do this or Odin the prerooted one. The update broke it.

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?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
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.
