Superuser disabled by default???

So my old g2 broke and I just got a new one. I rooted with the non-adb method. Now I've flashed miui and I'm getting the following error. See photo. I'm unable to use root required stuff and can't get into recovery. I can get into hboot however. Please help!

Do you have the superuser app in your launcher? have you actually opened it and given rights to things?

Well, I've installed superuser, opened it. It has app list, log list, which are both empty and a settings page. I opened the settings page to see if there was something to enable permissions, there wasn't. I've decided to go into hboot, do a factory reset. It took me into recovery and I wiped data/cache/dalvik. I tried installing a new rom, got an error status 1. Did some research, they said to run a scandisk, I did, it didn't change anything. So now I'm trying to root again using the ADB method since I don't have a rom on my phone and it fails to install a new one. So I'm stuck in recovery. ffs. lol. Now I'm having trouble with CMD commands as the guide says to write specific commands, which I write and it says they don't exist. Anyone willing to add me via MSN or yahoo and help me through this? I would GREATLY appreciate it.

I'll elaborate to exactly what I did ---- (My phone came with 2.2 with the option to OTA 2.3.3, I did NOT upgrade to 2.3.3)
Received my phone today in the mail. Loaded it up. Went directly to the non-adb root page here on xda. Downloaded the files, followed the directions exactly. Downloaded clockworkmod, flashed 5.0.2.0 recovery. Downloaded MIUI via clockworkmod. Rebooted my phone into recovery. Wiped data/cache/dalvik. Installed MIUI. Booted into MIUI. Downloaded Titanium backup to recover some files from my old phone(sd card), got that error saying I wasn't rooted. Tried downloading superuser, that didn't fix it. Downloaded busybox, and busybox wouldn't install because it said I wasn't rooted.
Rebooted into recovery, got stuck at white HTC logo screen. Removed battery. Restarted phone into hboot. Clicked factory reset which restarted the phone into recovery. Inside recovery, I wiped data/cache/dalvik again. Tried installing a new rom, got error status 1.
From here, I attempted to root via ADB method. Followed all the steps but HTCsync couldn't connect to my phone. Although it "adb devices" command recognized my phone and most of the adb commands were working (it seemed). I rebooted my phone into recovery after playing on adb for about an hour. I tried reinstalling that new rom and it installed! Well...sort of. Instead of getting an error, it said installed, but it was almost instantaneous. I knew something had fudged up. So I rebooted my phone anyway just to see if it had taken the new rom. It didn't.
I rebooted back into recovery, cleared data/cache/dalvik and reinstalled MIUI successfully. Now I'm in MIUI and it says there's no root. I tried connecting HTCSync via MIUI, it failed. I'm unable to use HTCSync with MIUI? Anyway, now I'm stuck and I have NO idea what to try next. Been at this for a few hours now and can't seem to get anyone to nudge me in the right direction. Thanks for reading.

Does your bootloader screen actually indicate that the phone is S-OFF ? It seems like you didn't complete a full root process and you're stuck half way so to speak.

I thought that's what happened. So what I did was, went ahead and put the stock rom back on my phone. I downloaded the PC10IMG and updated via bootloader. Now I'm back on 2.2. I can't get HTCSync to connect so ADB method is out of the question. Some version information, not sure if it's useful to you, but I still want to root my phone, just don't think that method works for me, not sure why.
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband version: 12.22.60.09bU_26---blah blah
Kernel: 2.6.32.17
Build number 1.19.531.1 CL---blah blah
Is that sufficient info for a pro dev to assist me? I've disabled my firewall aswell as windows defender to see if that would allow me to connect through HTCSync, but that didn't help. So now I have to find a new method of rooting my phone..

Problem solved. Started back from stock and tried the same method again but with different recovery. Viola! Success. Thanks anyway.

Is this factory mode?

Hey guys, I've run into a bit of a mess here. Earlier I installed a mod and suddenly I lost network connection and it turned out my IMEI number had been changed to 00xxxxxxxxxxx( x =random numbers). So i tried different ways to restore or edit the IMEI but didn't get much luck. Anyways long story short i had a backup (efsbackup.tar.gz) that I had created a while back and even after going through Google it was proving to be difficult to restore it. So like a noob I extracted all the files that were in this backup file into the root folder EFS. I know it was probably a stupid move but i was desperate to use my phone to make calls and receive SMS. I saw that the files looked the same and went down that path. Now my imei was restored along with network connections except for this new problem that won't go away as you can see in the screenshot. If I hold the power Button it switches off without giving me options. Other than that I tried getting into the FACTORYAPP folder and setting factory mode to off but it remains persistent. I'd really appreciate any help.

Sorry I can't seem to upload the screenshot but basically it's a transparent box in front of the homescreen(touchwiz) and it has details highlighted in yellow such as PDA:, Phone, and CSC, H/W, RF Cal Date, SMd, and Rear cam, TSP, TSK, etc. It only remains persistent in the homescreen otherwise not present when I open any other app.

like this? if yes, likely EFS issue. Don't forget to keep your EFS safe.
first make factory reset and try flashing stock ROM, if issue persist then restore EFS with application/mod you took backup.

Yes that's exactly what it is., problem is I don't remember what I used to create that backup as it was a while back. I use TWRP as a recovery but there's no option to choose the back file I mentioned above. Any suggestions what app could create that backup?

try flashing philz recovery and restore from that.
before doing it try flashing stock ROM and then factory reset.

I tried flashing stock Rom through Odin but no luck. I got the stock Rom on but this issue still pops up. Anyone got anymore ideas? I tried using toolkit for note 2 and restored efs file that I had but still the same.

Encryption Help, Next Step?

So i picked up my old S2 yesterday because i was reading about android encryption and thought i could use that to my advantage, well that wasn't the case . I was running ReCaulked Jellybean when i started my encryption and when it turned on i couldn't get the keyboard to pop up so i couldnt enter the password. I used odin to flash back to el29 and got root then i re-flashed a different rom and once it loaded up i got the encryption password screen again, this time i could enter my password but for some reason it didn't work. Right now i flashed back to stock rooted el29 and wondering where i should go from here? Do flash a stock JB and try to remove encryption or should i flash another rom and see if it works?

I would Odin a stock ROM-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252 why are you trying to encrypt it? This is typically only done for business use.

Yeah i know, thats what i was doing. Odin pc, was trying to use one click for recovery after i flashed the rom.

Use Mobile Odin and the .tar file here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244781 if you're using GB27 that is

so el29 works no encryption, gb27 the link you gave me works no encryption, but gb27 recalked jb bring up encryption. for some reason i cant get the encryption gone even after data factory reset.
EDIT: Anything stock works just fine, anything not stock pulls up the encryption.

Alright I finally broke the encryption, I had to load up a stock /rooted gb27 and recovery kernel. I loaded up recovery and turned USB mass storage on, from there on my Pc I could see the drive was still encrypted by the jumped of letters and signs for the drive name. I renamed the drive to F and then formated twice from my pc, then I Odin back to el29 and flashed gb27 recaulked and everything works fine now, nothing on the device or computer show anything encrypted.

[Q] [Hard Resetting] Help for T999

Hello XDA members.
I am having an issue.
I came across an S3, I see it was previously rooted, with vroot, and it wont remove easily.
I'm also only getting EDGE speeds, but that's another story.
I've tried the usual Hard Reset through the phone. Didn't work properly. I've booted into recovery and erased cache and done a wipe from there. Still not properly cleansed. Does that mean its missing a file or a certain file has been changed?
Im trying to go back pure stock and also remove the 'modified' from the status.
I'm not too hip to all the specifics and whatnot, just mainly basics with ROMs and rooting.
My only other thought would be Odin. But if I flash the stock through Odin, will it go back to 100% stock? No 'modified'?
I've rooted and Odin'd before, but I never was concerned about it being pure stock or saying modified, cause I was modifying it lol
And, as a bonus, has anyone been able to find a working solution to only getting EDGE speeds? I've read around about changing the Network Mode, and that doesn't seem to work. Seen another post saying that TMO would have to reset the tower connections, or something relative...basically saying the phone could still be locked into a certain area.. I dunno.
That's one reason I'm trying to get the phone back to 100% stock; that's another step in my trial-and-error to get back to '4G' speeds (plus to see the logo)
I sincerely thank you for your help in advance.

What model S3 do you have? Download the one for your model and use Odin to flash back to stock, after that, reboot to recovery and perform a factory reset. It should now say official instead of modified

Yup. Need to know the model. Never heard of vroot so I suspect its different than ours. Factory resetting only wipes data, so it won't remove root since that is on the system partition. You need to find and flash the correct firmware for your device using Odin. Factory reset after that.

I, too have never heard of vroot. It's like in 2% english and 98% chinese I suspect. Seems to be flashed into the phone.

I will go that route [Odin] and give it a go.
And you mean once the Stock is flashed, Hard Reset from within the OS?
& Thanks for your responses.

Yup. Or from recovery. Same thing either way.

Just wanted to say thank you for your help.
The phone has a fresh system on it..not modified anymore, along with no more vroot.
Other than that:
Now im just dealing with only getting EDGE.

Check to make sure the imei matches the sticker under the battery.

mobile installer application popup restarting phone?

About once a week, not really sure on the frequency, (if I notice the popup) it says it rebooting the phone with two toggles on the bottom of the box. (box and lettering all in black and white) Your choice on the toggles is reboot or later. Today I push later and it it popped up twice more. But on the third time, there was not toggles and was doing a count down for reboot.
Anyway, before it rebooted, I pulled down the notifications and and found the notification and did a long press on it and then went into info. I then it looked like I was in settings with two choices there. (when on this settings, there was not back button to see were I was at in settings) To block notifications with on or off and the other doing something with quite mode. I turn off notifications and minimized the box. After it rebooted, the box was still minimized until wanted to bring it back up in the screen, it disappears. Anyone know what this is??? or know how to figure out what's doing it?
Stock Sprint Note 4 running 5.1.1 software Ok1 with hotspot hack (why I'm not running current software)

Open root browser and see if you have this folder: /carrier/ItsOn
If so, you may also have this file in dalvik (i think that's the proper location for Lollipop but you could search keyword itson) : /data/dalvik-cache/carrier @itson@[email protected]@classes.dex
If your ROM is fully stock, you may have another folder at /system/vendor/ItsOn. If so, look inside that folder for resource zip. Extract that zip and look in the folder and file install locations then browse to those in your phone's folders and delete all that correspond to that mapping.
If you have those, delete all you find and reboot. Hopefully that cures the random reboots.
If this applies, ItsOn has a bootstrapper that tries to install itself. If you have a custom kernel, it cannot complete this process but will try repeatedly to complete that failed setup process, prompting you continually reboot. If you were to factory reset, the prompts would most likely be more persistent.
If you flash a stock tar, then flash custom ROM and don't wipe internal memory, ItsOn remains unless developer has a script in place to remove that from root of your carrier folder.

Thanks for the info. Phone is not rooted, bone stock with the exception of the hotspot hack.
Only thing I found using File Viewer under Root (/) folder /system/vender/Itson. And it shows nothing is in there and one year old.
I believe all this started when I upgrade Lollipop about one year ago. Was rooted at the time and wanted the newer android. Then I found out I did not need to root to get the hotspot working.

OK. Check ItsOn status next. Goto /data/local/tmp and look for ItsOn log. It shouldn't get added on boot if you've removed it but last successful bootstrapper log will be present, unless deleted.
FWIW, I don't have random reboots on rooted phone. When I had them, ItsOn was the culprit. I usually clean install, wiping internal memory before and after stock tar but didn't coming from Lollipop.
What I noticed was that ItsOn showed in hidden menu ##data# as NetworkSystemProvider. See before and after wiping internal memory screenshots. I suspect this carried over from Lollipop. Perhaps yours did too?

I could not find /data/local/tmp and look for ItsOn log, but I did get into data and the NetworkSystemProvider is there. Got into in and hit button for more settings and little window say "intent sent."
Also under more settings it says two things,
Module 1 is insmoded
Module 2 is insmoded
And at the top, it has a green icon for on button and a blacken icon for the off button. It will not let me do crap there.
Since it's stock, I have done nothing to it. Can't remember how I did the update. My guess since it was rooted, I had to flash OK1 myself but I don't see my stock download from Samsung. I have major memory issues, way more than I should at my age and I have no idea on how I did things......LOL And not even sure what Itson is, only thing I found with quick search a sprint software to add software and updates easily. That would explain the random downloads and install I did not do.
So now what, I need to root my phone to make this go away? Oh, and thanks again for your help. Don't go out or your way to dig further. I'm wanting to upgrade to MM but don't know much about it (rootable or hotspot wise).

The way I got rid of it was to wipe data and internal memory, flash marshmallow stock tar and wipe both again and flash a ROM that has it removed. Dunno but maybe it works the same way with a TWRP backup if you prefer stock with hotspot only?
I can't confirm there's another method or if that's your problem. But my random reboots are gone. FWIW, my log was inactive but had an existing log that dated months back. I only had a few random reboots until I did a factory reset to see if that would help. Once I did that, the reboots were much more frequent. Some boots were resulting in immediate request to reboot again. I had to do something at that point.
I couldn't tell you if updating to marshmallow makes it better but you could still could go back to Lollipop if it didn't.
I dunno if you need to root to make it go away but I can tell you there is hotspot mods for marshmallow. You can go back to Lollipop if you don't like marshmallow.

Thanks again, guess I'll give marshmallow a try here real soon. Maybe even try a custom rom, never played with any of those. But I getting to where I'll have to do something soon. I feel it's picking up the pace. Then again, new Notes will be coming out soon. We'll see what Samsung brings us. Thanks again.

I've had this happen before and the only way I was able to get rid of it was to flash a completely stock tar and let the device provision itself thru initial setup. Others have had luck with the removal of ItsOn, but this has happened on ROMS where ItsOn wasn't even present.
