Hi, i asked this question in development by mistake and it got deleted so here goes. I rooted my E4GT and then installed CWM. Everything was fine until i went to install an app that required root. It said i didn't have root. I installed Root Check and it said i didn't have root. Can someone please tell me how my root has disappeared and how i can get it back. Thanks
Sorry if this is kind of a newb question
Install super user from the market
If you deleted it that could be the problem
If that doesnt work follow the steps to regularly root your phone

nvm i got it. I was curious and went back into root check and it said i had root. thanks for the help anyways
I would tell you to dig a little deeper into the dirt to see if it's still there, but I can see you found it.

Just wondering if my Incredible will be able to receive the update while I am rooted.
Also can somebody walk me through the unrooting process. I saw someone say just "wipe the phone" and while I understand what that means, I just don't know how to do it myself.
Any info on either of these 2 subjects would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks!
I'm wondering this too. Or will we just lose root if we apply it on a rooted phone.
This link will direct you to a tutorial on unrooting.

From what I understand, you will need to unroot for update.
I assume the community normally releases versions of the updates that don't require this?
U cannot receive an official update unless u have the stock recovery. If u used unrevoked tool u have clockwork. In other words u can receive it if u r rooted but only if u have stock recovery.

OK, so since I rooted the "old-fashioned" manual way I should be able to receive OTA's?
I did end up unrooting last night using the video by mejdam on Youtube. Boy, I wish I had known that I didn't need to do that! Now I have a lot of work to do! I spent all night restoring my apps that I backed-up with Astro. Thank god for that at least. Next time I will take screen shots of my home pages before I wipe the phone. I had everything how I liked it
I thought that the OTA update after the downgrade was the one to give me 720p, etc. I was SORELY disappointed when I found out it wasn't. Basically I just did all of this for nothing yay. Now to come full circle by getting rooted again!
What a life I lead
Am I getting this right? I rooted over a month ago the more manual way before unrevoked3 was running.
Is it possible to root and still have stock recovery?
Also does anyone else have an opinion on my initial question? I really don't feel like unrooting again...
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
If you simply wait, after the OTA is actually official, the unrevoked team will incorporate the new stuff into their painless root tool and you will be able to safely update and maintain root access at the same time.
You don't need to do anything before then except have some patience.

You didn't have to go through all of that! I don't know how you missed this tip, because I swear it's in like every post about messing around with stuff after rooting: TITANIUM BACKUP! There's a free version and it allows you to backup ALL of your apps to the exact settings you had setup (something you can't do while not rooted) and then whether you un-root, install a rom, whatever - all you have to do is run the batch "restore all my apps" option and voila! they're all back like they never left.
Search for a guide on how to use it, it's "somewhat" confusing at first - but not bad and I know most of the people with rooted Inc's swear by it.
Hey thanks for the recommendation, Milk dude. I haven't been checking the forum as much as I need to lately. My office is sweltering even at night so I do most of my forum browsing on my Inc. Anyway I will have to give titanium backup a try. Thanks again.

Hi, I have tried rooting about 20 times (not even kidding), and almost every time it gets stuck on step #7. I have installed drivers from LG and have phone in debugging mode. (I tried doomlord, but it won't recognize my Nitro) Does anyone have any advice to help me root my Nitro?
*Mods, feel free to move this to the rooting section, it just wouldn't let me post in there*
Try rooting it the way they root the optimus. That's what I did and it worked fine.

Did you use the latest SuperOneClick 2.3.3 for rooting your device? I can confirm it works with LG LU6200...

If this isn't working for you, this should:

(its working in ADB mode, make sure your device is in USB debugging mode and connected to your PC)
Good luck!
Use doomlords root

Use SuperOneClick v.2.3.2 and not 2.3.3. The latest version don't want to root our Nitro. I can't understand why, but 2.3.2 version root very well.

Remove the SD card( or unmount it), i got the same problem here and it thats what worked
What worked for me was installing the Android SDK package.
I was hanging at step #7 as well and after installing the package it went through.

Click on a link in my signature and download from my guide. I have an issue to upload the file right here.
problems rooting too!
So this being my first post and all please dont freak. I searched as best I could to find the proper thread to ask this and this seemed like the best option. So here it goes.
I myself tried rooting my phone with Superoneclick and after numerous attempts I failed miserably. So I tried Doomlord's rooting method. I thought I had figured it out because at the end it said "OK!" and it even rebooted my phone but when I tried to DL Titanium backup and busybox it said it could not gain root access. My question is, first would it be safe to attempt the root process again, or if not any ideas on what I might have done wrong and maybe a solution to fix it?
Thanks again
P.S dear Mod if this was the inappropriate place to post this I apologize in advance.
i would download the superuser app and see if tibu finds root
also, there should be no prob running the rooting app again if you choose to, if you are rooted already it should return a *already rooted* message.
So I tried dl superuser and that did nothing. I even did a master reset maybe thinking that I might of changed a setting I want suppose to, and even that didn't work. Like I said I can't get SOC past step 7 and I've tried all the tips I read on here to get past that problem but nothing. Doomlords looks like it worked and it reboots my phone but still nothing. I would really truly appreciate any help!
thanks again

I cant get my screen shot to upload. I've tried everything. Anyhow, I still can't get my phone rooted. When I rooted my Aria, I used a program on my MAC that rooted it in about 20 seconds. Whatever happened to that?

Apples and oranges. The two programs used to install custom recovery on the Aria utilize exploits in the HBOOT, which is something only HTC devices have.
What software version do you have on your device? (Look in Settings > About Phone > Software version)
I'm having the same situation. Everything I've read says that if you did the security update without root already then you can't root now. I would love for some one to prove me wrong and show me a way. IM running 2.3.5 v10j with kernel 2.6.35.11.

You have the recent update installed which makes it impossible to root the device. There are still methods to get the device rooted but it is not simple and basically involves this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488
I would urge you to make sure you know what you're doing before attempting this though.
I had the above problem with not being able to root my phone due to the software version i had. I had to use the "unbricking guide" and after some challenges i was able to restore the phone to stock with root. It is risky, but at this moment im not sure theres any other way to do it, unless someone with programming skills can find an alternate method to go back to a previous version of the software without resetting or unbricking the entire phone.
Hi, my first ever post on xda so some form of help would be really appreciated.
I just rooted my phone (at least, that's what I think) and the problem is, I have superuser installed. Also, I'm able to install and use titanium backup without any problems thus far.
BUT, I heard that you can use Android Validator to check if your phone is rooted. I used it, and it seems that only the top three bars are green. The bottom two (something about busybox) are red in colour. So, is my phone really rooted? Or, should I unroot my phone and try rooting it again?
Thanks in advance. Any suggestions and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, but you also need to install BusyBox (Stepehn Stericsson) from the Play Store, it is free but there is also a paid version to support the dev.

Y do u need busybox? If the reason u want to be rooted is to use tibu and it works fine. . Just let it be. . If it ain't broken don't fix it.

Ok where do I start, oh yeah here; I've been wanting to unroot my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for the longest, but I never knew how. Main reason why? Because I want to get my phone fixed from AT&T, but as we all know, this will "void" the warranty. Anyways, my goal really is to simply just get rid of the modified status thing in the setting so they can't see it has been rooted. So on one glorious day, I decided to listen to little brother (which I never do) and he told me to go into SuperSU and press unroot or something like that, to "unroot" your phone because "he did it" and it "worked". Now it kind of made since when he told me to do that, though something told me it wouldnt be that simple just to press unroot and it does all the magic for you. So now im in a pickle. When I did that, it uninstalled SuperSU in a since, and now when I downloaded it back from the play store, it says every time,"there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it unroot". From what I have been reading, this is a huge problem when it comes to using Triangle away, which I need to reset this modified thingy in the settings. Also, I download a root checker app or whatever its called, and it says I don't have root access. AHHHHH!!!!! Can SOMEBODY, ANYBODY help me?! Im a noob to this Android stuff (Been #TeamiOS 4 years straight). So please speak english when explaining what to do. Oh and please be VERY detailed because I never wanted to touch another rooted device in my life after I bricked my kindle fire a few years ago.... Thanks!

When you modify your phone you void your warranty.
Search the skynote thread use 1click to get back to stock then triangle away to reset counter

Well what do you wanna do ?
If the root is done, this thread is done ?
But if you ask what next, it's installing a recovery so you can change ROM ..., I can let you search in the general topic there are a few methods to install recovery, I did it last week, only one worked for me, the app Autorec on GooglePlayStore.
Good luck

I'm a computer savvy person, but this was my first experience with rooting. I just wanted to be sure I did it right. Turning my LG G3 from T-mobile and debranding it. I did get a belly up icon of the little green android, with the word error under him when I tried to remove some bloatware, but a battery pull seems to have fixed that.
