So I have been following the NOOB GUIDE sticky thread and the Tutorial to achieve root.

I've got superuser in my apps (which means it's rooted right?) and I've downloaded Super Manager so I can get rid of the junk stock apps.
The problem is that when I try to enable ROOT function in Super Manager, the program freezes and/or says that "The ROOT function in this program is not support your device or system image".
So.....any thoughts? Am I just missing a step somewhere or what?
Any help would be great Thanks.
Why don't you just go in the root system folder and manually delete them? It's easier that way.
You may have rooted the phone but did not complete.
Go to unlockr.com google "rooting vibrant with superoneclick" and watch the video seeing is believing
Usually after you root you need to manually go into recovery hit install packages 2nd time and then reboot again back into recovery and you will have rooted and it will recognize
BTW, make sure you download Rom manager and have it installed before you do the above.
cheers!
I am not familiar with the app you are referencing, BUT, if you followed my guide, please try this.
Download Titanium Backup (you should already have it if you followed my guide).
Click on problems, let it install busybox.
does it say you are rooted? yes, good.
You can click on the middle tab and click on the apps you do not want. I suggest freezing them (essentially deleting them, but less chance of messing up since you can revert it back).
if not, PM me

Superuser.apk is force closing on me. I can run TiBu and Wireless Tether (both of which require root access), so I know I have root access, but when I try to open the superuser.apk, or when I install / upgrade an app I get a FC from the superuser.apk.
Where I am:
-ATT Atrix, stock / bootloader locked with 4.5.91 applied through USB over stock / bootloader locked / rooted 4.1.83
-Did the preinstall root method from briefmobile after the 4.5.91 update
-Updated the superuser.apk from the market
-Rebooted a number of times
At this point the phone is running fine, and I need it for work so I want to stay away from a potential brick, but I have gone through custom ROM's on previous phone (ATT Captivate). The FC is really more of an annoyance, and I'd like to make sure that if / when I decide to go the custom ROM route my su is working as it should.
Any thoughts / suggestions?
OK, I read a bit more and tried to clear the data on the superuser app. Now, after a reboot, TiBu can't even get root access because the app FC's when I open TiBu.
Help?!

Have you tried unrooting, factory reset, and then rooting yet?...
No, haven't tried that. To unroot, should I just uninstall the superuser.apk? I don't think I've seen an unroot script for 4.5.91 yet.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try that once I figure out the best way to unroot.
OK, it appears to be resolved.
What I did:
-uninstall the superuser.apk through Manage Applications
-download the preinstall file from the XDA forum post (versus the file from briefmobile.com)
-re-ran the same steps
-rebooted
All appears to be working now. My guess is that it was user error (read: I did something wrong the first time).
Nevermind...
Hi everyone,
I followed the instructions here: http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2012/01/02/nook-tablet-rooting-guide-complete-walkthrough-video/
to root my nook tablet. It seems to work. At the very least I am able to side load one of the apps I wanted, however, I am unable to install the google market or even find an apk for it along with some of the google apps. My nook settings say its version 9.9.9 now if that helps.
Is there something I can do to get the google market installed? Or is there a way to reset this back to stock and use a better method if that is a preferred way. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Or is my phone even rooted? I just tried busybox and it said I was not rooted...

It sounds like you're not rooted, but rooting isn't all that hard. Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354487
Alternatively, if you've got an SD card and are interested, you can try this super easy method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583
Both of those methods include gApps, if I'm not mistaken, which also means that they'll get the Android Market installed for you.

The Nook&Zergy zip file that is mentioned in the first link I believe is the same .zip I used when I followed the instructions for the other link I posted. It said it had the gApps but never installed them for some reason and I was never able to get them to install. It gave an error message instead. Everything else worked though.
Hi all; I just got a Galaxy Note and successfully installed CWM and rooted using DA_G Odin PDA method.
Could anyone help me with the following please?
1. Superuser app looks funny on screen, like its not formatted correctly some screen layers are on top of others... it looks messed up lol. It does actually work though(grants or denies root access).
2. Titanium Backup is complaining about my root access and how SU is not working correctly. Though if I grant it root access it does actually work correctly.
This seems to have started after a factory reset.

1) It always looks like this, has nothing to do with a factory reset. Install Super SU from the market if you don't like the look of Superuser.
2) Yes, this is how it works. Titanium Backup requires root to run. So that makes sense that it works correctly when you grant it root. So I am not sure I get the question.

Point 1- Yes did that, DA_G root method does not come with the superuser app. The superuser app literally looks messed up... from your reply your implying that's normal(or not)?
Point 2- When I start Titanium backup, it complains that my SU is messed up. If this is normal behavior for the Note, so be it, just checking
Moderators- I apologize if this thread does not belong in the general section, I would appreciate if it can be moved, if needed, thanks
When asking for SU acces at TB screen is the "remember" checked off? If it isnt thats why its always asking you. I had an issue like you and a simple reboot remedied it. If that doesnt help, remove and reinstall both apps from market again. Reboot and see if that fixes it.
The SU app does look weird on our phablets. But it works as expected.
If possible, I'd like to remove root from my stock image, leaving the recovery, so I can use it for a business app that doesn't operate with root. Can this be done?

Yes. Open SuperSU, and use the "Settings", "Full unroot" option. That'll remove SU and allow your app to run if it only looks if you're rooted.
Some applications, like "Good", don't just check for rooted device - they also check for evidence that the device is rooted. I fight this battle all the time on my Galaxy Tab - it's rooted, kind of, but Good can't tell.. but I can't use the root permissions without disabling Good, rebooting, then enabling root.
You've got to remove any evidence of busybox having been installed as well as any evidence of any rooting programs for Good to be happy.
See the Saferoot thread for an unrooting script which may work for you.
I have searched the web for rooting this kind of phone, and I have not found anything. All I know is that it's possible, since this guy did it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641478
I presume it's the same as for the older versions, but I want to make sure.
OS version: 4.2.2
Kernel Version:3.4.5
Thank you.
According to this: http://www.srsroot.com/\supported your device is supported.
And how does this work?
This does not work, I tried it, and it said the rooting was complete. After I tried to install some root apps, they did not work. So I tried it again, but it says that I do have root access.
Hmm. Which superuser app did it install? It's not uncommon to need to either update the superuser app and / or update the SU binary (should prompt through the app if needed). Go to the Play Store and see if there is an update to the app, then open it and see if it prompts you to update the binary as well. If you don't have the Play Store on your device, just let me know which version of the SU app was installed and I'll see if there's is an update available. I don't get the chance to mess with many off brand products like this, so do not have direct experience, just tons of android experience in general.
Found some more info from a random Russian site (via Google Translator) http://translate.google.com/transla...rch?q=prestigio+duo+5450+CWM&espv=2&es_sm=122
Might try and install CWM recovery and flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip if all else fails.
I used SRSroot if that is what you are asking.
If you are asking about what app I downloaded to test it, I used titanium, which told me that it could not access the root. I just downloaded it.

No, was referring to which Superuser app was installed during the root process. Typically this should be either Koush's SuperUser or Chainfire's SuperSU. And test with another app as Titanium can be a little weird with root access on some devices as well as needing Busybox to run properly and not all root methods also set up Busybox. Try any of these: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=rootchecker

Hello,
I have Prestigio Multiphone PAP4300 DUO, I tried all rooting crap and it didnt work. BUT one did worked. It is used on PC. You connect your phone to pc and then run the program, and choose which method you want to use(depends on phone). After some tries it worked. I dont remember what was the software called, but if I find it, I will surely edit my post.
There was no program installed during the rooting process.

Then VERY unlikely it worked. You can doublecheck and install this and see what it says: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu . It'll most likely say you are missing the SU binary and fail to install it for you without proper root. Other options include CWM recovery and a custom prerooted rom.
Rooting
If you still nid a root for PAP5450Duo I have this phone and this root app worked: download Framaroot 1.9.3 (use the Boromir exploit).
