[Q] undo temp unroot in SU - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

greetings. i apologize in advance if my thread is not in the correct place.
damn my curiosity. i clicked the "temp unroot" in superuser and it unrooted my phone. bootloader is still unlocked, as well as recovery, but i don't have root access for apps. i can't uninstall and reinstall SU without root... am i screwed?
i'm hesitant to do another one click root process. mainly because it said it would delete all the data on the phone while unlocking the bootloader. but my bootloader is still unlocked...
also, will installing my latest nandroid backup restore root access?
thanks!

What makes u think u lost root?? You can install su from the market.. I think all you need to do is installed su, or supersu from the play store and you should be good to go.. I just looked at this setting is supersu and it says clean up to unroot.. Try reinstalling su... Or restoring a backup could do it too..

i know i lost root because i don't have root access in any of my apps. like titanium, root explorer, busybox...
i guess i'll try my nandroid backup. i've just made a lot of changes since then and without the option of titanuim, i'll lose it.oh well

Only the software can be "rooted" the term refers to superuser or admin access, root access to special privledges not available to regular users. The device software itself is exploited to allow a Rom root access. The device can be exploited for soff (security off) or the bootloader is unlocked allowing for access to write to the partitions in nand memory. In the case of HTC bootloaders they only allow partial write access to partitions, unofficial/unsigned recoveries do not have access to boot or misc partitions (kernel/firmware)
In response to op in superuser temp unroot is just an option to temporarily hide root, you should be able to just open the app and re-enable. Should that fail try supersu instead, there is a flashable zip on the dev's website that is flashed from recovery and should restore root access using supersu in place of superuser

Again words tossed around a lot. He hasn't lost anything he just removed root. He's fine if his recovery is intact. My assumption is that he feared he was back to stock then again I could be wrong besides root is a folder directory. Thanks for filling the op in.

Again its just an option to temporarily hide root, its not lost. You open the app go to settings and check temp unroot and to get it back, all that is needed is to uncheck temp unroot and restart phone. If it doesn't work which it should then reflash superuser or supersu in recovery to reenable admin access

Hello! I am new here. I have the same problem. I tried temp unroot just out of curiosity and now I think it is really permanently unrooted, because the temp-unroot checkox is no longer checked. I used the root checker and it says "Sorry! The device is not properly rooted". What does that mean? And only Titanium Backup asks for superuser permission. Whenever I use the Link2sd or Root Explorer, they don't ask for superuser permission and I get the error that my phone is not rooted.

If you haven't already tried it, you can try uninstalling the SuperSU app & reinstalling it. Just a thought......

Use Titanium, it's a system app on your rom, with titanium you can uninstall it or freeze it... I told you a couple posts before that twrp should do the trick, glad you got it fixed!

no root after OTA....

alright, how bad did I screw up here? Got the OTA notification last night, read nothing but good things and most keeping root through the process. I missed an important detail of using the OTA rootkeeper. So I'm currently on the latest update and lost root. I've tried one click 1.1 to no avail so far. I am unlocked and was rooted prior, but never got around to installing a recovery (hadn't found a ROM I was quite happy with enough to lose all my data just yet)
So.. all that said, is there a root option for the latest OTA yet?

Yes, all you need to do is flash Amon Ra through fastboot and reboot to recovery .. under the developer menu option on Amon Ra you have the option to install SU and superuser . Just run that and reboot you would have to unlock of course to install Amon Ra
Looks like I'm installing AmonRa today. Thanks!!!! I'm from a moto world where CWM and SPR are all we had.. the feature to install SU binary from recovery is new to me haha

Odd, do you have the superuser app in your app drawer ? Otherwise , I heard to download it from the market and it will work .
I did it this way and I read about it from others that did it this was as well.
I need some help, please - I may have made a very bad assumption here...
I just got my Rezound today (upgrading from a Thunderbolt). I saw the stickied thread about how (relatively) easy it was to perm-root the phone after the bootloader was unlocked, and I assumed that this all still applied after getting the OTA update (not realizing that the OTA update was JUST released - my assumption was that it was older and already dealt with).
So I got the OTA first thing after activating the phone, THEN unlocked the bootloader, THEN tried to root via One Click - I tried both OneClickRoot_1.1 and Super OneClick 2.3.3.0, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I'm getting "Permission denied" errors on mounts and "read-only file system" errors for CHMods and file copies during the Zerg Rush process. It says "Congrats you are now perm rooted", but it doesn't seem to be true - I was able to install SuperUser from the market, but the BusyBox installer says it can't find the su binaries, so I'm not convinced SuperUser is actually working.
Considering that I never had root access to the phone prior to installing the OTA, is there anything I do besides waiting for one or more of the root tools to be updated to deal with the new OTA?

I would try the rooted stock rom, but just not sure why it didn't work for you . I did all the steps you did and I was rerooted afterwards. Are you getting the pop up for superuser when an app asks for permission ? Sorry, was trying to be helpful
got it.. had to attempt the SU install twice.. also reboot DIRECTLY from recovery, do NOT reboot back to bootloader. I think that's what killed it for me. And yes in the end I did have to install the superuser app from the market to get it working again.

I'm having a serious issue here - for unknown reasons (I have NOT installed any ROMS or ANY non-OTA updates whatsoever), my Rezound is no longer able to connect to Verizon's network, for data or voice (it just says "no service"; WiFi works fine). As I said in my previous post on the previous page, I just got the phone today, and was trying to use OneClick to root my phone, but it isn't working because of the OTA update, and at some point I think the radio got screwed up.
So my intended remedy was to download the rooted stock rom and install that, but, naturally, it doesn't pass signature verification on the stock recovery. So I tried to follow another set of instructions to get AmonRa recovery installed, but the bootloader keeps rejecting the PH98IMG.zip file, telling me (depending on which one I try to use) that there's "no image or wrong image" or "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". Furthermore, I tried to extract the PH98IMG.zip file from the rooted stock rom file that I downloaded from the link on this site, but that zip file is corrupted (it won't open on my PC, even after I re-downloaded the rom).
Can someone help me figure out how to get AmonRa installed? From there, I can hopefully get the rooted stock rom installed. OR, at the very least, help me run a radio update so the phone will at least work until an easier root method becomes available?
Thanks.

I got the rooted ota rom installed easily, and better yet, the root worked perfectly. The problem is, I still can't connect to any wireless networks (aside from wifi).
I used the tool linked in the previous response to flash a boot.img I got out of this thread (specifically, the stock 2.01.605.11 w/ 1/26 OTA), but still nothing.
Any thoughts?

back. After reboot, I installed superuser from market, then updated the binary.
Titanium Backup now works and I can confirm regaining root after the OTA update. To protect myself from this in the future, I have installed OTA RootKeeper. OTA RootKeeper has been confirmed to backup superuser and is a simple way of restoring superuser after an OTA.
I did not have to backup anything on the internal sdcard, as I did not lose any data through this process, but it never hurts to do it, just in case. I am running the stock Rom, and unlocked through HTC-dev.
Thanks to con247 and andybones for pointing me in the right direction.
I am not responsible for any issues with your phone, so proceed at your own risk.

[Q] DNA Keeps unrooting?

So I used the rooting guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996389 and found a different superuser/busybox package to use. (don't remember the link right now).
However, whenever I open SuperSU to try to update it, it says installation failed or just reboots. And if I try to use root things for AdFree, it can't find the partition or just restarts.
Is anyone else having this problem or is there a different SU package I should use? My bootloader IS unlocked.

Ive been using ViperDNA which comes with what seems like a custom SuperUser type of all in it.
But when I origionally rooted my phone, i seem to remember having an issue with SuperSU, and the first time i rooted i said screw it and just installed Superuser without any problems. The second time i rooted, i Installed SuperSU, then had to download Superuser form the Android Market, to update the binary, which updated it for SuperSU, and that solved my problem.
When you try to open an app that needs to use root access, do you get the notification asking for permission?
perhaps the "other" superSU/busybox package that you used didn't properly do what it needed to do?
I see the link on that tutorial is broken, fortunately i have the file that i originally downloaded form that very same tutorial saved to my hard drive, and now uploaded to DropBox if you would like to download it and try flashing this zip while in recovery to see if it gives you a proper root.
I would recommend downloading the above file, and flashing that to see if it helps. I'll try to remember to check back here to see if you posted anything in reply, but let me know if it doesn't work. Ill try to help as much as I can

I installed your package, and get the same errors before in SuperSU. It wants to upgrade but then force restarts whilst trying.
I then tried the Superuser app by Chainsdd, and I make a little progress?
First, when I try to upgrade, it asks for root from SuperSU and Superuser. Since SuperSU came with the busybox package, I can't uninstall it.
When I first go to the updater, it shows me this: (See attachment 1, I can't do links :S)
After I upgrade it, I am left with this screen: (see attachment 2)
It looks like it reverts back to su v .98 from 1.02?
Either way, as soon as I hit lets do it again, the phone restarts. Did I screw up the unlock/root somehow? In the top left of my fastboot screen it shows ***TAMPERED*** and ***UNLOCKED***
I am using CWM 6.0.2.1

It's difficult for me to troubleshoot when i haven't had to fix this problem since december haha.
The tampered, and unlocked is standard that is what it shows for everyone who unlocked the boot-loader.
So let me get this straight,
Do me a favor, un-install Superuser, download RootChecker from the market by JoeyKrim, And run it, what does it say?
->When you run it, did it ask for permission from SuperSU?
With just the SuperSU installed, if you run a program that requires root permission (For example, RootChecker), Nothing shows up asking if you want to Allow/Deny?
->When you open SuperSU to update the binary, it fails to update and restarts the APP?
With the SuperSU/BusyBox package flashed, when you install Superuser from the android market and try to update the binary, it *appears* to revert back to an older version of the binary?
-> After updating the binary through Superuser (despite the appparent reversion), if you un-install Superuser, and try to run RootChecker, does it work?
Sorry, i know it is a lot and i'm not much help, i'm troubleshooting blindly and from a distance haha.

you need to install a kernel with /system writing enabled. Such as lk's or cubed
htc has a line wrong in their code and it makes it so that /system cant be edited while booted into android, only while in recovery. Installing a kernel that fixed this bug will let you use supersu from the play store and other apps such as adfree which need to edit system files to function

Even with a writeable kernel SuperSu gives a hiccup at first. Download SuperUser, update the binary of SuperSu, then uninstall SuperUser. SuperSu will be fine after that.

Unroot help, cant remove SU

Hello, is there any way to remove su and root access with out a nandroid backup? I made the mistake of creating a back up after I had already installed SU so i have no stock nandroid to restore. Ive tried hunting down the .apk file and deleting it but when i reboot my phone, SU is right back in the app menu. Please dont just link the stock tmo nandroid thats floating around, if i could use that i would have. Its software number is 1.29.xxx.x and tmobile usa is only on 1.27.531.7(1.27.531.8 after OTA) Any help will be much appreciated. If anyone has a stock nandroid for 1.27.531.7 please share:fingers-crossed:

You can delete the su file, that basically makes not root.
The su file resides in system/xbin
The app is in system/app ex. Supersu or superuser
You can still get into recovery .
The reason because the su comes back up is because you have the stock kernel without rw access. Get a custom kernel and flash it, delete the su, then flash the stock kernel again. Team nocturnal has a link up for stock 1.27 kernel

It worked for me, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40745177&postcount=55
After you flash it, do a factory reset and flash a custom kernel (should be easy to find, i just searched for kernel under the t mo htc one development thread) Then download a file explorer and grant it root access. Delete the Superuser APK and reboot. After that flash the stock kernel and you should be all set. I was even able to run the OTA update after flashing the stock recovery and re-locking the boot loader. Hope this helps you out!

After you flash it, do a factory reset and flash a custom kernel (should be easy to find, i just searched for kernel under the t mo htc one development thread) Then download a file explorer and grant it root access. Delete the Superuser APK and reboot. After that flash the stock kernel and you should be all set. I was even able to run the OTA update after flashing the stock recovery and re-locking the boot loader. Hope this helps you out!

I downloaded that already... I just wanted a full stock,
that was missing some files, its not full stock. I can use the Team Nocturnal, it is more stock, but I would never run the OTA, it updates your hboot, and gives u more problems later, I like to use stock roms..
Thanks for your help, I appreciate that.

[Q] superuser not giving root access. How to fix?

i reverted back to the official sony ics recently(by a generic file) then i wasnt able to root using the doomlord's toolkit, so i flashed mesa hybrid kernel v4.2, and I rooted my phone.
I have superuser installed, but it is not granting root access to any app. Please help
I already tried to root again, and clearing data and force closing the superuser app, but it's still not working...

Reflash the kernel or replace superuser with SuperSU

I tried to root it with the ray's .562 kernel, but the root fails. It says it doesnt have permission, as system/"blah blah" is read only...i also tried lww's .431 kernel, but still didn"t work.
and i even tried super user su, didn't help
sidenote:I can't do anything "root related" as i dont get any permissions, so should I flash another kernel or rom to root? is this even possible?

Did you checked UNKNOWN SOURCES & USB Debugging on your phone ? Did your pc has the driver of your phone ? If not, you can install the driver from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390362690511176454 . Thanks to DooMLoRD .
Press THANKS if i've helped you !
Say byebye to the root.
Reflash Rom, then reflash kernel.again.
Do not do rooting stuff as it is for locked bootloader.
Since your BL is unlocked.
Flash kernel has pre-rooted feature.
Good luck.

Glad to help you ..
Next time, you could just install custom kernel, download a rooting flashable zip file and install it via kernel's Recovery. I do it often, because I prefer to use Clockworkmod's Superuser and by that zip file, I avoid any kind of problems.

[Q] Device rooted, but can't use SuperSU or root apps anymore

I rooted my Sprint LG G3 a couple weeks ago, and everything was fine. I was able to use Titanium Backup and a few other apps that need root access. Now when I try to use Rec., a screen recording app that needs root access, it says it doesn't have it.
StumpRoot shows it as rooted. SuperSU says it can't find an su binary and can't install one.
What can I do to fix it?

Root checker says I don't have proper root access.
Did an automatic software update mess up my root maybe?

No. I rooted it with StumpRoot and went about my business, using a couple different apps that needed root access.

If you still have recovery, you should be able to just flash a rom.
If you don't, read the FAQ. When you unroot, you'll need to start from scratch. Stump is our only root and it only works the first time. Or when it's clean.
I never installed a custom recovery like TWRP OR the one that starts with C... I just have the stock room recovery and I don't see an option to flash a rom. What can I do here?....

I would suggest following instructions on downgrading to ZV4 (since stump root works for force brute in order to root your phone).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...g-g3-ls990-t2852042/post54912191#post54912191
Once you fully restore back to default stock, you will need to go ahead and install stump root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
It will allow you to brute force root, which should take about 5 minutes.
After you reboot, you should have root. Go to the market and download supersu. From there you should be able to have root access. From there you need to download TWRP (my choice of recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129
Once that's done, you should be able to reinstall you ROM and profit.
This is all from SCRATCH as you suggested.

@Jschurter
I feel you might need to fix permissions or try flashing su in recovery.

thanks for that instruction. I just ended up using the PC method with odin and flashed root using LG_Root_Script_by_avicohh. It worked perfectly and got me back to root. But thanks anyway!
I rooted my Samsung galaxy grand duos...it got rooted as well but super su is not working...what to do?
