[Q] Device rooted but can't get root access

I can't use supperuser , it crashes everytime i open it , saying that this file "com.noshufou.android.su" stopped suddendly . I can't use app2sd, Rootchecker, etc ..
I've already unrooted and rooted again, and i still get the same problem .

... so, my device is rooted and i cant get any root access !
Seems like the root didn`t work properly. Maybe try getting Root Browser for example and see if you can access the system files. What recovery do you use ? And how did you root it ? What you`re saying sounds weird .. it worked the first time for me. I remember the process was just taking an update.zip , going to recovery mode and flashing it and that`s all
I think it was this tutorial that i used : http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-gio-s5660/
I already rooted my devide like, half year ago just to use app2sd , but now when any app tries to get root acces, superuser sudently closes .. I don't use any recovery . I rooted just like you, but with another tutorial and it worked just in the first time .
Its like, I have my device rooted but at the same time unrooted .
EDIT : I've instaled Root Browser and i can access to system files, but just for some seconds, because superuser crashes .
Hm maybe somewhere in these 6 months something just happened i don`t know what to say if you use the stock rom . Me , if something bad happens i just wipe and flash my rom again or do an advanced restore in CWM. Sorry for not being able to help you.
No problem, thank you for your time .
I got the problem solved !!
i used SuperOneClick and removed my root , then restarted my device and still got root (dont know how :laugh but without Superuser . Then i instaled Superuser from market and now works perfectly !!
Congrats. Good to know for future reference

If you're phone was rooted It never gave u that error, for rooting you're phone there are some ways but I recommend u to flash a stock ROM (Maybe U ruined some file in system or something like that, so It's better to flash a new ROM) then turn on you're phone after that again go to recovery and flash CWM and reboot you're phone and go to CWM and mount system, data and flash a "Update.zip" which Is available in Android Development topics.
Or U can just simply flash one of those Gingerbread's ROMs (Crane fusion, Enhanced 2.3.6 etc...)
Hope this was helpful.

can you try what i did? flashing a 4.2 rpm after a 4.3 rom messes the efs. the partitions change and the phone cant find your efs partition anymore because this was modified when you went to 4.3.
perhaps you can try below. maybe the principle is the same.
good luck

Just sharing my experience in solving this issue. Hopefully it will help solve those who have similar issues.
I flashed a file which messed up my EFS partition. I had a backup and tried to use the available programs to restore my EFS using my backup. None worked. I even brought it to the samsung store, but they said they would change the motherboard and reprogram, and replacement and service would cost more than half the cost of a new N7105. I purchased the phone in another country. The people who had stores to repair phones gave up on my phone. They also offered to replace the motherboard for US$175.00.
My phone was originally under a DMB2 rom (from Singapore I think). I flashed a DMC3 rom, and used this for five months, until i encountered the problem.
I initially gave up and got a note 3. But i could not believe the phone was junk and people in XDA (as I observed) do not seem to give up.
After two weeks, i found the solution below, which brought my phone to working condition.
1. I flashed the stock rom N7105ZHDMI2_N7105ZZHDMI2_TGY from sammobile.
2. I flashed a pit file using Odin. The pit file is found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2137008
This restored the baseband. But IMEI was no longer NULL. However, it was still 0.
3. I downloaded and used the EFS Pro from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1308546
Before using EFS Pro, make sure you dial *#7284# and change the setting of Qualcomm USB Settings to
"RMNET + DM + MODEM"
I will not hurt your phone if you do, but EFS Pro will just not work. If you don't do this, the EFS Pro will display "Phone not responding" or something similar.
NOTE: I couldn't find the option with RMNET, but i used the option that also had an "RM*** + DM + MODEM".
After the phone is read, change back the IMEI to what it was originally.
Dial *#7284# again to change back to "MTP+ADB".
It's all working now.
Hope this is able to help someone. Now i have two working versions of Note.
Thanks to the authors of the program i used, and the people who uploaded the files used.
Cheers!

of course, you have to use the pit file for n7100. just use the search bar, its in xda.

[Q] Wifi Error on Galaxy Wonder after flashing Custom Rom

Hi i have a Samsung Galaxy Wonder GT-I8150 and i rooted and tried various Custom roms to find a stable one to run Jelly Bean. One of these Roms has corrupted my wifi drivers( i think it was Monster Energy Rom) then i tried alot of things to get it to work again. i shifted to stock rom :
[Baseband verion- I8150XXLM6
kernel version-2.6.35.7-perf-I8150DXLM3-CL1103265 [email protected] #3
Build Number- GINGERBREAD.DXLM3]
but still it was showing "error" when i tried to turn on wifi
I read alot of stuff and tried Wifix app, tried deleting wpa_supplicant , it worked for a day but again it started showing error and after that even deleting wasnt helping.
now after deleting that file and rebooting the phone, that file doesnt get created in data/misc/wifi.
I read that its a kernel issue and that the kernel that that custom Rom put has changed something and it can only be solved when i flash a Kernel that can revert my settings back to what it were.
I dont know which Kernel will do that...
P.S. - I read another thread in which a person was having same problem with his i9505 after flashing rom and a person recommended :
"Open root explorer > System > Build.prop change this in the build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true TO ro.securestorage.support=false Save , Reboot"
but i couldnt find ro.securestorage.support=true in that file when i opened in RB Editor in root explorer.
P.S. - Also tried dialing *#*#526#*#* but it was showing me "NotSet Driver loaded[NG]" Dont know what that means :silly:
I'm only 18 years old so im not very familiar with these software stuff.
Please help me .. tell me other things i can try .i will try and reply you with the results :silly:
Hi,
I will have your thread moved to your device section so the experts who own your device can help!
Good luck!

I tried flashing the modem after restore with freegee but no good results still my imei is "null"
And also tried with the B Method of this tutorial but QPST recognizes the device as "NoPhone"
Please, I need help!
:crying:
found another EFS backup that i did with ADB commands and restore it, but still my imei is null
Did you try to install stock system? I think it's called KDZ
I got my phone 3 days ago and got the same problem last night
I managed to repair in this way: (everything else i tried did not work, but these two simple steps made my day)
1 - restore EFS backup with terminal emulator (after this nothing changes, it was still showing imei null probably due to bad baseband ?)
2- flash KDZ :
Type: 3GQCT
Phone Mode: CS_Emergency
in lg flashtool 2014
after the flash finished everything was fine.
I downloaded the kdz file from a software where you input your model and imei number, you can find it on the forums somewhere
Use a stable machine to flash the firmware (a laptop in performance mode or something?)
I wish you good luck
