Hi all,
I have CM7.1 on my Experia arc. One of the apps I need will only run on an unrooted phone, I am presuming it does a simple test to see whether it has root perms before loading.
Is there a way I can force this app to run without root permissions?
Many thanks.
Someone will guess what app you're talking about eventually.

Install superuser and just deny root access?

Can I temporarily root my phone using Visionary or z4root and uninstall some of the Sprint official apps that I don't need like Amazon MP3 and Sprint Navigation and then unroot my phone?
I would just like to remove some of the official apps, modify my phone's hosts file with adfree and then go back to being unrooted. Can this cause problems? Has anyone done this?
Well I personally haven't done it, but I see no reason as to why it wouldn't work. Though I believe adfree will stop working after you unroot, and rebooting gets rid of the root.
I'm aware that the adfree app itself will no longer work but will the changes it makes to the host file be permanent?
Hello,
I want to install a new rom on my HD but failed to do so.
I got the DHD for free and at that time there was already a custom rom (android 2.2 goapk) on it. So I assume it is rooted, however checking root status with terminal emulator it says otherwise. Also all my applications that require root dont work because of permission error.
Questions:
shouldnt my HD already be rooted since there is a custom rom running on it?
Assuming its not, since all my applications that need root access wont work...
If I try to root it with visionary+ it doesnt even ask for superuser permission.
It just runs through, no error occuring, but when I check with terminal emulator "su" it says permission denied.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks in advance.
have you considered downgrading and re-rooting ?
downgrading went fine in a coulpe of mins.
could smoothly root etc. afterwards.
new rom running already.
Thanks for the advice!!! I was just not really sure what my problem was
Regards
OK I don't know what I did but now I don't know what to do. I have a galaxy s3 thru att. I noticed these pop ups from SuperSU for access. I didn't even know what SuperSU was so I never checked accept or deny. I don't know how it got there and I don't really want it. I downloaded Root Checker Basic to verify root access. I get the message "this device does not have proper root access". I don't know if that is good or bad? Now I am afraid to uninstall SuperSU without screwing up my phone. Application settings to uninstall only gives me the option to uninstall updates. How do I uninstall SuperSU? As you can tell, I am a real novice to all this but any help would be greatly appreciated!

SuperSu is the program that issues root access to the apps on your phone that request it. If you want to be rooted you will need either that app or Superuser. They really act as a safeguard to stop any random app from taking control of root without asking you. If you were to open the SuperSu app you will see the apps that have tried to gain root access and I'm betting you will find 'root checker basic' has asked for permission, but has not had it granted. This is why it is reporting a problem with root. You do want this application and you do want to grant access to apps that you have installed and will trust. To lose this app is essentially to lose root. Up to you if you keep it.
Hi,
I'm looking to temp root my HTC One X running android version 4.2.2 (Vodafone Australia) so that I can access the /data/data/ and so forth of the file system. I'd them like to again unroot. What would be the safest, easiest and fastest method to do so?
Are there any one-click apps for this?
Thank you very much,
Daniel

you can use toolkit.
no way to temp root our phone...sorry but you need to unlock bootloader and fully root the rom...
Maybe looking at this from a different perspective but...
Have you tried the "temp unroot" feature in Voodoo?
Root, then use the voodoo rootkeeper app from the playstore to temp unroot. For all intents and purposes your HOX will behave like it's not. (SU is backed up and hidden so apps requesting root can't find it)
N.b I use this method in the UK to get round the restrictions on rooted devices from apps like SkyGo etc. Then restore root when you need it.
You can also use the settings in SuperSU etc to restrict which apps you give root access to; and whether they need to be granted permission on each request. If you only want root to use a file explorer to get to that particular location then this might be a better safety net if you're scared of rogue apps accessing root.

Hello,
About 6 months ago I was able to root my HTC Desire 626 g+ DUO SIM with Kingo Root to move some apps to /system/ because my warranty ran out and wanted to play with the phone a bit. Once I was done I unrooted it and was able to pass the Google SafetyNet check and everything.
Yesterday, I went through the process as I wanted to remove some apps from /system to clear some space and because I stopped using them anyway, but this time when I unrooted, I'm not passing the Google SafetyNet checks. I simply do not recall the way I unrooted last time, but I do remember using Terminal Emulator to replace the SuperUser with SuperSU that's unroot properly. When I go through the emulator to switch the su app, I do get to SuperSU and the root checker confirms, SuperSU is the management app, but when I go to unroot with it I hit a wall in that I get 'SU binary occupied' error with no real way to update the binary unless I use a PC. Thing is, I remember not using a a PC to unroot last time, so I am wondering what I am doing wrong.
The phone's running KitKat 4.4.4, but if you need more info, I'd be happy to supply.
Please, let me know what I can do to unroot Kingo Root and achieve a success in completing the Google SafetyNet check.
Many thanks
