[Q] Nand Unlocking

Hey guys, im fairly new to the whole rooting and customizing of android scene, but i rooted my epic 4g using the oneclickmethod found here. Everything has gone fine and ive been able to flash multiple roms and try different things out, but today i downloaded the font changer app which then lead me to downloading the busy box app, however i got hung up on the installation of busy box because its saying im not nand unlocked. i assumed that took place with the whole rooting method, is there anything i can do to fix that at all?

I believe No nand unlock is needed, unless it goes through that when rooting. Make sure superuser is up to date. Even try to uninstall superuser and re install. I had the same problem before and am trying to remember what I did. I know I uninstalled superuser & re installed and uninstalled the APP i was trying to get to work and also re installed. So try that and see if it works

Samsung doesn't NAND lock their phones.

i dont mean to sound completely stupid, but how do i go about uninstalling/reinstalling superuser, do i just re-root the phone? Just asking before i try anything so i minimize my chance of bricking, thanks guys.

why dont you link us to the app not working?

If you have a ROM installed chances are that you already have busybox, there that most dev's include it on there ROMs.
I think that your trying to install Busybox in an area of your phone were its currently mounted as Read Only and not R/W. Double check the destination of the busybox installer (it will give you several options) and choose from there.

only half rooted?

I attempted to root my phone using 1-click root app and it looked like everything went well. I was able to tether, titanium backup could access what it needed to, etc. As I continued to try new apps I started to see an error message more and more "<app name> as been denied super user permissions". At first I thought nothing of it but now Im starting to question it my phone is fully rooted.
I down loaded Root check basic which tells me that my SPH-710 is not rooted as I once thought. Now Im not sure what I should do?
It should be noted that when I go into recovery mode sometimes I have issues when attempting to boot. (I know this isnt much to go on but I havent exactly documented whats happening and Im paranoid to try it right now).
So here I am looking to you phone gurus for advice. I should have the correct drivers and development kit installed, but again this isnt something I do on a daily basis and would rather not go into this blind and brick my phone. The last phone I rooted was my EVO 4G and once I got that configured where I wanted it I never touched it again.
Anway.. any links, apps, sites, etc, that you could provide would be appreciated.
Thank you.

The easiest way is to flash a rooted kernel in odin, download a ROM and install it through the recovery if you want to after that.

If you were able to run Titanium you were rooted. You probably got an OTA update recently which disables your root. Just re-run the rooting package and you'll have it back.

Re-root Post OTA
+1, got the update a couple nights ago and also lost root even though I still had the Superuser app and could run the allowed programs there as root.
I used sfhub's method to root again and it was a snap:

LOL- searched for that !
I do have to say Thank YOU-:good: Funny thing; superuser has been a bad app to me lately < bear in mind, of course, I have no clue what I'm doing and hold NO one responsable for my actions > I had finally figured how to root the phone (1st android interaction on my part, free-searched everywhere). Then, no recov opt's, etc. according to su- as you posted, it was playing a little screwy. So as I'm reading your post, I plugged it in. Lo and behold the su binary went through and updated. I saw the screen "that was cool, do it again". I said "woo-hoo"- don't care if thats corny, anything gets me psyched at this point! Still don't know if that will help- to be honest, i'm unsure of what my next step was and why I was doing that.
So Thank you, I'll know to try this if what I had was a fluke.:silly: yes, lots of silly faces, can't help- i'm excited. I'll tone it down on my next post!

Binary Update
Hello Folks,
Forgive me but I searched the forums and could not find any posts dealing with my problem.
I recently rooted my phone, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 i545 version 4.4.2, build i545vrufnc5 using Towel Root and used Root checker to verify. Root checker states it is rooted and I am using SuperUser Elite v3.1.3 however the outdated binary notification shows outdated binary (-rwxr-xr-x is in red) and when I tap to update I get the message "downloading manifest...... fail!? When I then hit "try again" I get "unfortunately superuser has stopped" and it closes. I also downloaded SU Updater and ran it, no help. I also have Busy Box and Root Explorer and Titanium Backup installed. su binary shows v1.99:supersu (0). There are no apps showing in su and I get no prompts when adding new apps to allow or deny? I am new at this and really ready to unroot and say the heck with it. I seen several posts about downloading a zip of the file and saving to sd card. Do I need a zip program first and how do I move it to the sd card if that is the case? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
J-

[Q] Stockrom Blu Dash 5.0+ D412L

Cyanogenmod version?
please , help.

Unfortunately I don't hold the answer to your question. Rather, I have interest in asking you a question. Now, I guess you have had success in rooting and installing a custom recovery onto your device...? If so, will you please share the method which you used please? I have tried using framaroot, poot, towelroot, androot, and kingoroot. The only achievement towards the granting of full root permissions I have gotten to so far is my device stating that it is rooted. I have installed SuperSU and busybox but, after the installation of SuperSU into my system, the icon is no longer available in my app drawer. I can see it when in my app folder on my system when using my file browser but I cannot remove it to attempt a reinstallion. I have tried several different file browser yet still come up empty handed when trying to mount my system as r/w. Also, I have installed one of the several MTK Engineer Mode apps. Upon doing so I discovered that there was a button listed "user2root". Naturally, being an individual who will push the big red button even after being warned against it, I pushed the root button. Immediately a toast message popped up informing me that root permission had been successful. I then went back into my file manager and tried to mount my system as r/w. Nothing had changed in anyway after that though. The stock .IMG file was pretty quickly found on gsmphonearena.com but, I could not seem to find a lick of information about fully rooting the device or the installation of a custom recovery .IMG file on there either. So as you can tell, I'm a bit at a loss here. If you or anyone else out there that can possibly help pull me outta this rut I'm currently in, it would be greatly appreciated as I can just about guarantee that it is not only I out there who is struggling with this issue.

Hey guys not sure if this may interest you but the version that works the best is Phil's touch Recovery.

Phone acts weird after root

Hello,
I read about all the amazing stuff you can do with rooting and wanted to try it myself. I searched for a while and found a program called kingroot. After reading some positive reviews I decided to go with it. I downloaded the program to my pc and rooted my phone. Once my phone is rooted, super excited me starts downloading apps wich require root. After a while I saw that some weird apps where installed on my phone (porn stuff mostly). I decided to factory reset my phone. Unfortunately, when I booted up my phone again I got some weird adds on my home screen and the weird applications were still there. I couldn't delete them because they were classified as standard apps. I downloaded king root again and unrooted my phone. After it was unrooted I did a factory reset once again. When I started up again, I saw that the weird apps were still there. I downloaden avg Antivirus and did a scan. The two apps who had mallware in them were: com.android.system and com.android.systemui. I rooted my phone again and the problems are still there. Right now I don't know what to do. What would you advice me to do?

Hi !
You have very badly read this s4-mini section ^^
There are others way for to root our phone....
I recomand to flash cwm 6.0.5.1 and then "rootkitv2" (after root ,open SuperSU for to disable knox and update binary in "normal mode" => the root is good ! )
Kigroot it's the "hell" ,a big malware !!! The worst thing ....very very bad !!! There are repports who have said that it's dangerous...
And many known apps who need root din't reconize and like at all the root with this method because there are "kiguser app" !!!! It's not the SuperSU by chainfire...
Now you have to reflash a stock firmware with odin method ....and FULL factories wipes !!! .....and root .
(Or with cwm : format&wipes ...and flash customs roms^^ )

Those malwares were installed in system partition, this is why Factory Reset (wipe of Data partition) can't solve your problem.
The best advice I can give you is to flash a STOCK ROM then :
1- If you only need root, use the corresponding version for your device of CF-AUTO-ROOT.
2- If you need root & ability to install custom roms, use Odin to flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) through which you can flash SuperSU.
