Sprint LG Optimus G android version:4.0.4 LG software version: LS970ZV9
A few weeks ago sprint pushed either a firmware update or LG pushed a software update, I didn't think anything about it and choose to update. Big mistake: I have now lost root, used root checker to confirm, also wifi tether no longer works, and root explorer will not r/w. Now my problem is I still have supersu and can't get rid of it, also wifi is acting strange.
I have tried the following to unroot: factory reset both software and bootloader methods neither removed supsu, went to supers and tried uninstall, also just tried to reroot, but no success.
I would like to unroot or perform a factory reset which gets rid of supersu and root. Then finally reroot, I have no problems losing everything and starting from scratch. Can someone explain to me how to do this?
Update: Thanks to javskies - I have used LGNPST to revert back to V7 of firmware and now have root again!!!!!!

if you plan on rerooting why not just lgnpst back to v7, root and unlock, and just flash a stock v9 rom?

Chances are pretty high that your root method installed supersu into the /system/app directory (which is ro) therefore, the only way to remove it, would be to root the phone and mount it as rw. Or as the above says, downgrade then root then next time not upgrade.
above has a name:crying: lol

Yes I have continued reading other forum posts and it appears I updated to build #ZV9.IMM76L which has no root as of yet. Can someone explain how to revert back to V8, once again I have no issues with wiping phone and starting other, I don't have a stock rom, nor do I know how to push one to my phone.

Well, most root methods (including the one I used, found here) install supersu or superuser to /system/app so it would be safe to assume that that is what his core issue is (not being able to uninstall it, because it's in the system partition, which is now read only)

Make sure, or recheck USB bugging. Or your drivers didn't install right.
Type " adb devices" and see if that works.

Can't unroot
Can't find a method to unroot from zv9 rooted. LGNPST recovery freezes at 4% once it actually starts to push the recovery. GAIO isn't compatible with zv9, so no help. Also tried pushing zvb update through TWRP then CWM with no luck, they fail when they try to open the zip.
You don't need to unroot. You need to relock the bootloader though.
In the irc, they have a method to update thru TWRP. If you wanna try that.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I relock with freegee? right?
Was a little worried when it still went into TWRP after restoring with freegee, but gave it a shot installing anyway. I installed the "update.zip" file from sdcard not cache and it still worked. Now running ZVB with root thanks to VooDoo's OTA Rootkeeper!
Thanks for the help engine95!
Frustrated
And have attempted every suggestion posted but have still not been able to fix the problem regarding ADB problem that will not allow me to root my phone. I am to the point that I am ready to factor restore my Sprint Optimus G. I will delay this option for a week in hope that someone will help me resolve my problems.

I can't believe I forgot about this option. But run as admin/not as admin. So right click fiddy619 root, run as admin.
This seems to be the most common problem.
Let's hope this works.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 on AT&T. I'm thinking about rooting it but i don't know if i will mess up, and i don't want to brick it. I read that the efs folder is very important, not sure why entirely, but i should back it up. I searched but still am not sure if i am supposed to back it up before or after rooting, also if there is anything else i should do/backup. If anyone could give me some help, or tell me what thread to find the info in, it would be greatly appreciated . I am entirely a noob on Android, so i may be clueless on stuff.
Questions go in Q&A
Thread moved
Thanks

Oh ok, thanks, i knew i was going to mess up some way, and posted in wrong thread lol
I recommend EFS Professional (requires root). Make sure you do an NV backup! If you flash an AOSP ROM, you might lose your IMEI. It's a PITA to fix, unless you've already made a backup.

I just used mskip's Toolkit & let it do its thing. If you're concerned about the flash counter, you can use mrRobinson's method.

Ok, yup thats the toolkit i got. I'm not too worried of the counter because i read that it could be reset if needed, please correct me if im wrong.
Yes, generally the only reasons you'd want to clear the flash counter is if you're going to claim warranty, or selling the device. There are some apps, though, which won't work if the flash counter is > zero, like AllShareCast. In that case, you'd definitely want to avoid tripping the flash counter.

Ok thanks a bunch, greatly appreciate the quick responses. That won't be so bad because i don't use Allshare, and thinking of flashing the Hyperdrive ROM, which i think will trip the counter either way, all i need now is to learn what ADB is (read it is useful if you mess up and get in a tight spot) and learn how to use a recovery, which i'm clueless on. Again, thanks a bunch!
No prob.
ADB is part of the Android SDK (get it here, then click "Download for Other Platforms" & choose "installer_r22.0.4-windows.exe"). If you haven't installed a custom recovery yet, the mskip's toolkit will do it. If it's not the latest version, you can get them here: (CWM, TWRP, instructions for manual flashing on the TWRP page).

oh thanks for the links! Do you know if ADB is actually useful? Have you used it? Also when i try to get the Android SDK it gives me a 404 error.
Yes, I have used adb. It's incredibly useful if you get yourself into a situation where your phone won't boot. For example, it quite common that people decide to edit their build.prop file without making a backup, then their phone won't boot. Using adb, you can pretty painlessly restore that file, or edit the changes. Note that you should go to the settings on your device & enable USB Debugging! Adb is capable of doing many things, but I've only used it for file transfers & for opening a shell.
Interesting about the Android SDK, it looks like Google changing something around...
I always backup before and after. Just in case.

You can download the .zip just above the missing .exe. You'll have to uncompress the file somewhere, then run the installer (probably something like setup.exe).

Ok with what you already told me I went ahead and rooted. I got Superuser instead of SuperSU and I got the CWM Recovery, though I might change to TWRP because they say it is better, and I think I got Busybox which is some tool for rooters. I made a CWM backup (i think thats what you call Nandroid backup) and the EFS Pro backup. Is there a way I can make sure the EFS was backed up correctly?
Also I tripped the counter like 5 times because it didn't work at first.
So i was going to flash over a 4.4 rom to my Galaxy nexus, but since i was very tierd i didn't pay to much attention to what i was doing. I flashed in the rom but forgot to flash in the gapps, and for some reason CWM got deleted. So now im running 4.4 with no gapps and no CMW. And that's not all.. the worst thing is that my usbport seems to be broken, i can't connect with usb to my computer so i cant put anything on the phone.
Is there anyway i can fix this problem? Or is my nexus officialy dead :crying:
If you have the Play Store app, or a browser so that you can get to the Play Store, and you still have root, you could download two free apps: Goo Manager, which has ROMs and gapps which you can download, and Recovery Tools, which allows you to flash CWM or TWRP.
Sent from my VZW Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If your usb port is dead, you may not be in a great situation. Your best bet if it works, is to go into fastboot and flash recovery again.
If you are rooted but have broken USB you have other options. You could sideload apps, transfer via wifi or just browse to them on the internet (not sure if your ROM came with a browser). An app that can install a custom recovery would be ideal, Goo Manager, ROM Manger, or something like that (maybe there are better options here, I am a little out of the loop on these apps). You could also download the proper GApps.
If you aren't rooted and you don't have functional USB, you indeed may have an issue. Fixing the USB may be your only solution.

You can try ADB over WiFi if you can confirm you are rooted.
Download the file flash_image in your PC from here and also download CWM recovery from here and then follow these steps:
Extract the flash_image.zip to a folder name say XYZ
Then in your phone, goto developers option and enable ADB over network. Make sure your PC and Mobile are on same WiFi network. After you enable it, you will get and ip:host (e.g 192.168.x.x:5555)
Now on your PC, copy both downloaded files to XYZ folder and do a shift+right click and select "Open Command Window here" and execute following code.
Code:
adb connect 192.168.x.x:5555
adb root
adb push flash_image /data/local
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
adb push recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-maguro.img /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-maguro.img
adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-maguro.img
If this goes successful, your recovery is back. Try rebooting to recovery to confirm that.
Wish you luck :good:
P.S The issue is caused due to ROM as it this particular ROM flashes stock recovery over your custom recovery :silly:

I'm currently running rbox's updated 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 ROM. I can still grant superuser access to apps that request it, and apps that require su function properly, but I can't open the SuperSu app itself, it just crashes. When I try to open it from the KFTV launcher, the screen blinks and it returns to the applications menu. If I try to open SuperSu from XBMC, it causes XBMC to crash as well.

I think it has to do with the way I'm installing it. In theory if you were to delete the SuperSu.apk from /system/app and sideload the apk yourself, it might work better. And if you horribly break things, you can always just reinstall the prerooted rom to get it back.

I deleted it and sideloaded it back. Same behavior. Just want to get into its settings. I used the latest PlayStore version APK.
Yeah, same here. I ended up installing Clockworkmod's Superuser and uninstalling SuperSU. All I needed was the ability to disable notifications on a per app basis.

+1. I installed latest ChainFire's SuperSU. Is there another? Is that our problem? Is there a CWR SU?

Direct download from CWM website
You'll have to re-approve superuser requests since it's a different app. I believe this is the same superuser app that comes with Cyanogenmod

I can start including this one in the prerooted instead of supersu if it works better.

From what I read the supersu is always the best one to choose. Certainly with phones.
I just dont know why we cant launch the app as normal to adjust settings.
Can you launch yours? Can anyone?

I don't know about "always the best". It's all the same crap really. CM ships with Superuser and it seems to work fine for everyone using that.
I can't launch it either.

Mine launches fine. I can review which apps have been granted, add and remove them, etc.

I also had the same issues. However, I was able to fix it by deleting "/system/app/SuperSu.apk" and then side-loading an older version of SuperSu (2.01). So, it looks as if the issue may be with compatibility with more recent versions.

same story here + can not erase "Supersu.apk"
"rm failed for /system/app/Superuser.apk, Read-only file system"
I am on pre-rooted 51.1.4.0_user_514006420
opened towelroot again, clicked "make it rain" it tells me "device is not supported" (since pre-rooted rom ?)
getting confused here

Did you mount the file system as read/write before you tried to delete it?

Is this the SuperUser that is working for all on the FireTV... Does it matter what version ?? So latest works just fine...

If so.. Is there a correct order to get rid of the SuperSU & Sideload the new one ??
