So I installed the very very good ROM which is the Slim Saber ROM. However once I install it, I lose my root status and can't edit the weirdly low dpi which came default with my Slim Saber Rom.
When I try to reinstall root access with the ROM active, my phone bricks so it doesn't work. Can someone else help me, perhaps my root method is too old or something? I used the method from wikihow.
Thanks please help meeeh
Perhaps I need the newest Supersu 1.86 version. I'm not quite sure what my old version is, but i'll try flashing this one instead.
All you need to do is go to Settings -> Developer Options -> Root and tick "Apps and abd". root will then be active.
cheers

here is SuperSU 1.86:
http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
if it doesn't work try a custom kernel it will install root directly but first tell me which android version you are running so i can give you the working ones with your ROM.
Sorry for bad english
Edit:i haven't seen heywheelie post before posting this.
Supersu has a backup script which allows it to survive the rom updates.
After flashing Supersu it gives a prompt to enable the script.

I wonder if its possible to flash a custom Rom, mod it the way you want and than "unroot" (don't have root access in android) it. recovery is ok.
I just don't want any app get root access.
is it maybe just to uninstall SuperUser app?
Thanks for your Help.
You can do as you say root flash custom rom remove root .

Hi, i need to do this too because my company requires MobileIron to access email and it checks for root. How exactly do you remove root after installing the custom rom? Do I just uninstall Superuser? I found a thread from another phone that said you could just rename the following to files:
/system/app/superuser
/system/bin/su
It said to append .bak to the end which I guess allows restoring it later if needed. Will this work, particularly with MobileIron? Thanks.
MIUI or CM roms?
Maybe trying to stop the service that's checking for root will be a better idea...
You can still use MIUI or CM based roms, there is an option to turn off root access.
if you use super user, just open the app. There is a button to remove root
files...
Files...
I am trying to accomplish the same thing with MobileIron. Has anybody tested this by removing root manually after flashing a custom rom?

I installed ARHD 21. Came from pure stock. After mucking around with what I needed for root, like changing the camera shutter sound to make it silent, I then did the unroot in SuperSU's settings. Rebooted then went into MI and was able to connect to company email. FYI, I tried to connect to company email before doing the unroot and I couldn't connect. I'm hoping ARHD will give me better battery life than stock. I also installed the 23 toggles theme before unrooting but I'm not sure if you have to do it before unrooting but I figured might as well. Hope it works for you.
Oh, if your company requires encryption like mine does, if you use ARHD the encryption unlock screen when you first boot is all in Polish. You just type in your pin or password but it's a little annoying. Everything else from what I can tell on ARHD can be changed to English once you select the language. If you figure out how to change the Polish from the unlock screen, let me know. Thanks.
I found this online

Well... I was searching once about a topic similar to this one and I found that you can unroot manually by deleting the following files (if found (all of them)):
/system/bin/busybox,
/system/xbin/busybox,
/system/bin/su,
/system/xbin/su,
/system/app/superuser
Then reboot and you should have unrooted your phone!
I haven't tried this yet!! But anyway here's the source:
androidtipsz/two-simple-methods-to-unroot-any-rooted-android-device. It's dot com but I can't put links
Hope this helps! I know it may be frustrating! Good luck!
For those with MobileIron.
Read up and install xposed, then read up and install rootcloak.
I have updated to ICS with ODIN because KIES was just to useless to carry out the simple task...
Tried rooting with "Rooting-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10.1.zip" which I found on the forum. It says it is successful and superuser appears. but when trying to carry out any root feature it fails ....
Try this. Go to this site and download the 3.1.3 - ARM file.
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Flash that in recovery if you want to root the stock ROM. Remember though that you always do so at your own risk.
Or...you could bypass the rooting process altogether if you plan on flashing a rooted ROM. You do not need to root before doing that...just if you plan to use the stock ROM and need root permissions.
Many Thanx

Hey Guy n Gals need some help, to make a long story short Im on Sony Z Ultra C6806 on KitKat 4.4.4. .108
So I rooted via:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900
During the process I was having some trouble getting the program to work, finally it went trough the steps and said it failed, however root checker showed root, and so I figured I would go ahead and instal Super Su, it attempted to update Su Binary and failed, rebooted and it seemed to be working, BUT I cant install Busy Box or Xposed, someone please help me on how to solve this.....thanks guys

well you need to flash a recovery for locked bootloader then reboot to system.
Now execute the superuser app again. When it prompts that you need to update superSU, choose CWM/TW...whatever its named that weird alien recovery thing. It will now if successfully granted, reboot to recovery and install the right files.
Or and if the above method did not work you can flash the latest from here http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
I did use this method on my dads Z1 and it worked great cause he is unwilling to unlock bootloader! However you can also try this tool below if you have no luck with the first rooting tool

edit: You need to enable adb root. I do not know where to find this in stock rom. But it has a huge point to stopping other apps for gaining superuser rights if this is disabled.
You can find this on aosp roms in the developer settings around the setting for usb debugging. It might be around the same area on sony stock rom?
In the SuperSU app there is an option in settings you can disable that is named something like "respect kitkat api". This can also help.
Thanks man for taking time out of your day to give me such a detailed response, it is users like yourself that truly make XDA work
Hello all, new here. Having a hard time figuring out what my options here are. At one time I had root, unrooted for reasons that escape me, accidentally upgraded... Kinda never messed with it much and did a couple factory data wipes...
Current build 0c1.
Thanks for any help, sorry for being n00bz0rz.
Your bootloader is probably locked, but you can root with king root (Not kingo) and switch to SuperSU. SuperSU is better. Google how to make the transition. That way you'll at least have root.
Thanks @Airsoftjunky
I should have been more clear... I got the kingroot and supersu swap method to root.
BUT
Keep finding info for of1 king root and supersu swap, change kernel to 0c1 and do something so stops spitting out error message....
My question was ment to be, what rom options do I have? Do have any baseband/radio options? Kernel?
So, I don't needed to need mess with kernels right? And can run some mods like hyperdrive? Have to be 5.0 roms, correct?
So, just to be clear, you've rooted with Kingroot, but can't switch to SuperSU? (Where is the error, and what is it exactly?)

Your safest bets are 'Touchwiz' based ROMs as your bootloader is locked on lollipop and there is no fix for that. Search forum for "Albe95'" or Stang5itre roms
I love RR7.1 ROM. But some apps like IRCTC connect detects as device is rooted. How do I unroot the ROM? I tried megistic still doesn't help. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Dirty flash your rom again w/o flashing SuperSU
I believe there is unroot option in SuperSU and Superuser but the answer above is sure win
Open the SuperSU App and go to Settings, under settings you'll find a "Full unroot" option. Click it, and follow the instructions further.
Tried all of em. Nothing seems to work. I'm on official build by sanjay varun. It has buildin cm root. After removal in developer page it shows only disabled n adb options for root access. Still application detects as device is rooted
Magisk ahve a miodule to hide root. Maybe you can try it...
Or SuHide?
