[Q] Improperly rooted - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Need help...
I used Wug's root toolkit
After I rooted, I opened BusyBox and it said:
"There was a problem opening a shell with root acces. This is either being caused by superuser/supersu or by a device that is improperly rooted."
I tried root checker, and it says it's not properly rooted.
What can I do?

Factory reset and root with adb/fastboot like the way you should?

I have this problem, but repeating the process a second time fixes it.

Root Sort of Fails

Hi,
So for the past 2 month, I've been trying to root my r800at, but it installs superusers but it doesn't function. I can't remove the semi root, but I need to get a root. I've tried the superuser fixer, but it says everything is normal. The Root Checker app says no root and so does ROM Manager, which in this case is a dire app.
PLS HELP!
Did you really need to make another thread about this? In the wrong section?

[Q]Galaxy tab root without computer

Hello, I've tried some ways to to root my tab without computer( framaroot, gingerbreak, z4root) but they all was unable to root my device. z4root crashes during root process, gingerbreak showed me the rooted message for over 30 minutes so I closed it, and framaroot showed me that my device is rooted but after rebooting ther still was no root. I always had USB debugging enabled. So my question is: is there any other root method which works without a.computer?
Thanks for your help!!!

[Q] Root didnt work, want to unroot and lose custom status

Tried to root my Galaxy Note 2 following this site galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method. Everything went fine. But when the phone rebooted, I was immediately greeted with a security warning. "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked" Also informed that SuperSU is missing its binary, and cannot be installed by SuperSU. So, I rooted it, but I don't have root access. Everything I've found to try and fix this requires root access, that I don't have. I've given up on trying to root this phone, but I can't unroot it without root access. I would like to unroot it so I can try to update the software. How can I fix my SuperSU binary issue? Please, explain this to me like I'm a retarded noob, since I am in fact a retarded noob

Download Odin. Download the factory image from sammobile.com. Odin the stock image. Problem solved
Or if you still want root, download the Mr robinson T-Mobile prerooted Odin image and flash that.
Fyi i accidently hit the thanks button. I guess you got a free one on me

[Q] unroot nexus 7 without PC?

My nexus7 (2013) has a non functioning USB and I need to send it in for warranty repair. I cannot connect it to a PC and the otg cable no longer works
I used towel root to root, and then lock the bootloader today (originally used wugfresh to root, but after updating to 4.4.4 I lost root access) but am having trouble unrooting
Using super su the software hangs at the "uninstalling, please wait" message when trying to unroot
Is there a way to unroot the nexus 7 without a PC or the USB cable?
You can use OTA Rootkeeper to unroot, but what you're talking about is relocking the bootloader, which is related but different.
You could try this. I never have and so can't tell you if it works, but it's supposed to on the second-gen N7s.

The bootloader is locked, so that's not what I'm trying to do
I downloaded the ota rootkeeper (thanks for that, haven't dl that one yet) and it shows the device isn't rooted, root permission IS granted and system supports root protection
When I run root checker it shows device is rooted
Any idea how I can unroot so I can send back to asus and but appear to have rooted already?
Strange, OTA Rootkeeper should do the job. You clicked the button to delete su backup, right?
But as long as the bootloader is locked, don't worry about it. Put on a password so any repair techs can't boot into full Android. Odds are they wouldn't need to boot fully anyway, and if they did, when confronted with a password they'd just flash back to stock. They might do it anyway to ensure no problems from software. For this reason it's always advised to make backups before sending devices in.

Root access for GT-I9195I?

Hi, I have a brand new, stock, unlocked, international version GT-I9195I, which I updated to Android 4.4.4 before attempting to root. I attempted to follow the instructions given here for root access. I didn't realize until just now that these instructions were for a slightly different model, the GT-I9195, not the GT-I9195I.
Two questions: first, have I done any harm by attempting to flash the GT-I9195 recovery onto my GT-I9195I? (It still boots and appears to work normally.) Second, where are the instructions to get root access for this particular model (Baseband version I9195IXXU1AOB1)? I found a thread here for installing TWRP but it doesn't seem to mention how to get root...
Use kingroot for rooting...just install the app and press root
Sorry for taking so long to reply. Thanks for the advice! Kingroot was successful on the second attempt at obtaining root access.
However, I do have a follow-up question. Can I install a superuser app like SuperSU, then uninstall kingroot, and still retain root access? Kingroot's Purify feature shut down my alarm clock app and some others I want to run at startup, and toggling apps in the "Auto-start" setting of kingroot seems to have no effect. I uninstalled Purify but it still interferes.
Yes, you need to use Super Sume: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro
