Superuser doesn't show prompt to allow permissions - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello all, I tried searching through some threads but couldn't find anything. I have racings ics build on my phone and I was able to install superuser but for some reason when I try to open root explorer or TB the prompt to allow the apps doesn't show up. I've tried updating superuser and wiping cache and fixing permissions. Has anyone had this problem?

i know this has been answered, but for future - did you check the settings in SuperUser?
there is a way change how/when they appear.

Yeah I checked that and messed atound with the prompt settibg and ut didn't do anything. Flashing the new superuser file provided fixed it though

I have flashed that SuperUser app more than 20 times but it still doesn't install. CWM says installation is successful, but it doesn't pop up.

att fusion 2 / u8665

Hello so I am new to these forums but have used them in the past for assistance. I have been trying to root a att fusion 2 aka u8665 ive seen a couple posts on here about how to and someone said they were successful but vauge steps cause frustration.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920528
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976657
As i said i have been trying for a while and basically tried everything listed in those two posts, also the post where they said they managed to attain root through fastboot confused me. From what i understood fastboot needs root to be able to operate, otherwise the steps in the post about using adb i just keep running into permission issues where i cant mount anything to root it.
I had trouble myself, but figured it out. I recompiled all the files posted by RFE.

thank you for the quick response, but see the issue i was having is that fastboot is installed through the adb, yet i cant get it to recognize my device. but again thanks for the quick reply but one last thing this recovery.img is it a pre rooted image?

If anyone else would like to contribute please do. I've had 5 attempts at registering this type of device without triggering a call-home. I've swapped out 90% of all the components that brand the phone AT&T (including huawei-hardware-extensions & mobile phone "care"??). When using Titanium Backup you will notice that some of the specially protected APK files cannot be removed or "found" - you will get the message "APK file not found." The only way to get around this is to use fastboot and pull the file from the device before removing it. If you remove the wrong system APK your phone won't be bricked, but it will give you infinite android.acore force close loops and other nasty crippling bugs (such as no touch-keys backlight). If you want to be sure that you are not doing any damage, do a full reboot and cache clear after uninstalling any of the AT&T prepaid system components. Many of the system components can not be removed or replaced with other versions until their dependencies are replaced or removed as well. Titanium Backup once again comes in handy and lets you select an android ID or "profile" which is a UID that is tied to your Google Play / Android Market account. You will have to create a new random Android ID after you have have replaced all the apps. Make sure you remove any files like Twitter that have been specially made for this phone & include a long unique ID like Twitter-3-6-0-(123456)--00000_V300_001.APK - the phone is incredibly fast without any google or ATT stuff on it.

Downloaded v9 oops, how can i dismiss it?

So like the title says i decided to check for the v9 update and when it showed that it was available i hit download before i realized about the bootloader unlock and root. So how do i get it to think its not there? I tried deleting the file it downloaded from cache but still showes and even just asked me if i would like to install now or later.

Install a custom ROM is pretty much your only option.

So this v9 update...does it really ruin are chances of rooting in the long run?
idk how i got here...
At the moment there is no publicly available method to root v9. If you want to root after v9 has been installed you need to use LGNPST to get back to v8. Then you can use the method on these forums to root.

If you've deleted the file from the cache the next time the notification comes up click to install. That's going to cause a fail, and it won't notify any longer. I believe clicking install takes you to an intermediary page asking you to install again, not sure. This method worked for me.
Edit -
This i a quick fix eventually it's automatically redownloaded, and you have to go through the process again. Best bet is the fix above liked to by Marty.

I'm confused what you're asking. So when you leave twrp it says you may have lost root? Or when you load the ROM you don't have root?

If You have root I don't see the problem. You'll sometimes get a disable recovery flash message too. Just ignore them both and enjoy your new ROM.

[Q] Is it ok to do this update?

i have been getting this update notification for the last couple days, and it wants me to upgrade my lg optimus g from LS970ZVB to LS970ZVC. The phone is rooted i might add, is it safe for me to do this update without losing the root access?

You'll probably loose root. If you have ANY custom ROM installed even stock, I wouldn't do it without first restoring the original stock software.

It is safe to update but, you'll lose root. The good news is that you can unlock and root your phone using the same method as ZVB.

I am unlocked and rooted. I didn't change anything and took the ota update. It rebooted phone to twrp and that's it. Then I rebooted to system. So how do I go about locking and unrooting before taking update? Or can you do it from custom recovery?

ZVC will install through TWRP. Then you'll have to root and unlock again just like ZVB.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but it did not install at TWRP
Stock LS970ZVB that has been unlocked. Treat me like I'm 5. When I get to the TWRP screen, what should I be doing?
And how do I get it to tell me to update again? I remember there was a way to make it search for updates (but some sort of cache needed to be cleared before it would look again, etc)?
thank you

If I remember right, if it didn't install, and you rebooted, i think it disappears. With a root explorer, look in /cache or /cache/fota and see if it's there. If not, you can get the update in the root guide. Follow the instructions to manually update.
I can't remember what to clear to get the update again. Try update profile/prl, then lg update.

I found what to do, but I don't recommend it:
"go to Google services framework….force stop it….clear data and then leave then try to update"
It downloaded the update, then rebooted, and didn't go to TWRP this time. Just straight to the Android with his belly open and the crystal turning. It fails after 30% and you have the Android on his back with a red triangle that has an exclamation point in it. I've rebooted three times and it fails everytime. If I let it sit, instead of rebooting, it eventually go into a normal boot and everything loads on the phone fine, but it's still ZVB.
I will attempt your guide later tonight. Thank you for your help and I pass the above information on not as a complaint, but as a warning of something that might *possibly* happen to others.
Is there a way to stop the update notification?
I did root the phone as well, but I really don't want to install this new upgrade just yet. The update notification is driving me nuts, there are time where it pops up every 10 min or so. I tried freezing some processes, but it always comes back. Does anyone know what to do so I can completely stop it for a while? Also, I can't find the location where this upgrade is saved, tried /cache and the SDCARD but no luck. thanks for any help that anyone could provide!

great, thank you!
For those like me who don't know much, the instructions in the link above work
Disable nag screen - 1. Not for sure. Go to /system/app, rename/delete LGFOTA.apk/odex. 2. Edit the build.prop - theres 3 references to ZVB. Change them to ZVC
but you will need to remount /system, I found that x-plore can be allowed to run as su and automatically remount read only systems. I edited the file from there and changed the 4 references from ZVB to ZVC and reboot.
Thanks again!

Flashback?

I think I need to do a Flashback on my Tablet so I can truly root it. I've tried a few ways to root it and all have failed. SuperUser won't open at all. Tried to Towelroot, even tried Stump Root and Stump says the device is already rooted, but I know it's not...
Just noticed I posted this in the wrong forum.

Ok was able to run the SU Zip through CWM and had it rebooted after it was completed. Once it was on. I looked around on the Tablet and SU isn't installed. Running Root Checker Pro and it says the Devices appears to be running very Slow... Been on this screen for a few mins already.
Edit: Went back into CWM and Re-Booted... When I clicked on it a new page loaded and had an option to Fix Root... Choose it and Re-booted.
Downloaded SU from Google Play and it worked now... HUGE THANKS....
Well Crap... Says it's rooted. Xmod is getting Permission from Super User.. Mod installed in the Game... launch from xMod and the Game Crashes.
Ok opened SU and it triggered KNOX... Clicked to let SU to try and disable KNOX.... Been on that Screen for 5min so far...I also get a Security Notice Stating Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked.
..........................................................................
Unistalled SU and Restalled it. Let SU try and Fix KNOX again... Fixed it in just a Few Seconds.
Wroking 100% Now. The last issue was with XMod not the root.
