[Q] Help unroot can't root again! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have a little problem I tried to find the solution in other posts, but I didn't found it, so this is my last hope... I hope you can help me.
So I have an Asus Memo Pad HD7, and I rooted it using framaroot 1.9.3, then one day it appeared a firmware actualization in my notification bar, I updated NY android and then after some days I just wanted to check if the unroot option in the framaroot worked, well my mistake it worked to well, after I clicked I rebooted and them the supersu was gone and I had unrooted tablet again, but when I tried to root again it told me it was rooted and then after reboot it wasn't... I can't root it again
The weird part is that recently I made another firmware actualization and supersu appeared magically in my phone, I tried to start it, but it showed an error saying my phone was unrooted... then I uninstalled supersu and tried to root again, but I can't...
Please help!
P.s: I didn't instal any rooms and I already tried factory reset in settings.
P.s.s: The weirdest part is that people say they unrooted to do a firmware update, while I did it with my rooted tablet. And Avast says my device is running in high privilege mode, but Root Checker says it's not.
Please any help will be appreciated!

Without knowing which firmware you are on now, it's not really possible to tell you how to reroot correctly.

My android is 4.2.2, my kernel version 3.4.5 and my model name is ME173X. I can't find the firmware though, the best I found is this: Camera firmware: 80000 and Build Number: ME173X_WW_user_4.2.4.04152_20140714 release-keys.

Recovery + SuperSU zip or custom rooted stock rom will probably be the way to go.

Sorry, I don't have a lot of experience with android devices so, I hate to say it, I'm kind of noob on that. Can you please help me with a tutorial explaining how to do that?
Thank you very much

Framaroot uses a bug to get Root access and root the Device.Maybe the update has been fixed.Try to downgrade your Software and root again.

I don't have the device, so I can't really help directly, but I mean, there's a picture guide with stuff circled that you need to do. If it's too complicated then it would be wise to invest in having a qualified shop or tech to help.

How is downgrading any easier than the root guide for the current version you're on...?

I think rooting via Fastboot is safer than framaroot.

I provided the link to what you need already. It's on the 2nd post of the thread. It has a step by step with pictures. You need to unlock the bootloader and install the custom recovery so you can install the superuser zip. If you can't follow the picture guide, then you should really enlist the help of someone who does this for a living since this is your only tablet and are very unsure of yourself.

I reread everything and I think I now understand what I need to do. Correct me if I'm wrong: unlock the bootloader, flash the custom recovery and Install supersu.zip. Can you tell me how I install the supersu.zip?
Thanks for everything.

[Q] New to Android - Need Advice (Rooting and Firmware)

Hi, I will be getting this phone today (i9100 unlocked) and have a couple of questions on how to proceed onwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated
1. What is the best firmware and rooted kernel for me to go on?
I want the absolute simpilest way to root my phone (total beginner) and I don't know what firmware I will have when I receive it, I also don't know if I should stay on a gingerbread firmware or go to ics? I also don't care if it is official or custom as long as I'm not sacraficing stability. If possible I would like a rom that is good for battery life. I also want to root my phone in the safest way. There are so many tutorials I didn't know where to start
2. What are some of the essential rooted apps and how do you install them? Through superuser or market?
3. What are the risks involved with a standard flashing/root because I'm getting my phone second hand I don't have warranty.
Thanks for all your help!
Edit: I just say a sticky saying not to ask what roms are the best so I'm sorry if I broke a rule. I just literally have no idea where to start, I've never even used android before. I've found so many methods of rooting and roms but most seem outdated. I would just like someone to point me in the right direction of the up to date way. Sorry if I'm really not supposed to ask!

Superuser is not used to install apps, you would either download them from the market or manually install the .apks

Rooting your phone would void the warranty anyway and bricking is probably your biggest risk.

Yes. There are dozens, if all you wanted me to do was provide a link to a more comprehensive guide, why don't you just learn how to use Google for yourself?

Believe me, I tried, but there are so many options, also, I've now decided to opt for a locked virgin i9100 bcause it was 50 bucks more for a new phone with the warranty, so what's the best way to unlock one? I think I recall a free app.

[Q] root Polaroid S10 ??

Hello I'm new to this site, so if this is in the wrong section I am sorry. I have recently picked up a Polaroid S10 android tablet running 4.2.2

try kingo root http://www.kingoapp.com/
srs root http://www.srsroot.com/
or if you have stock recovery in your
phone directly install superuser.zip or
probably flash cwm and then
superuser.zip
or try framaroot
Well framaroot doesn't work. Where would I get the superuser.zip from? I have stock recovery but dont know what I can do. I can't find anything on the polaroid s10 only same brand just dif model.
Looks like that there isn't anyway to root the polaroid s10 Maybe downgrade it or something, but I wouldn't know how to do that either. Please someone on the interweb help me with this tablet.

It may say this is root method for a different device in that post but Impactor works on alot of phones and I am too lazy to write out directions for you lol (too much turkey last night), it is much easier to just link to that post.

Thank you so much that did the trick :victory: I didn't think that it would ever be rooted. Thank you again for your help :victory:
By chance do you know of a custom recovery that will work with the S10 ? And maybe a custom rom? I'm really sorry to keep asking lol

You could just hit my thanks button at bottom left of any post. Sorry but I do not know of any custom recovery of roms for this specific device, you may try googling but since you could not find a root method until now I dont think there is much development for this device sadly.

Well that stinks I don't really like the stock rom. I have cyanogenmod on my phone, wish that more poeple would start to work on this tablet soon.
ok so now my polaroid s10 is stuck at the boot logo and I can't get past it. Please help me :crying:
Don't know if you were able to fix your boot loop, try looking for a way to hard rest. As for root, the tablet comes rooted. You have to download 1mobile and install superuser and you have full root. As for getting play store and Google frame work. Go to polaroid site and there will be a download for phoenixsuit that you will have to download and install from a computer. Hope some of this helps
download the updated rom
heres the link. installs thru pheonix suite

[Q] .:New Method to root Andoid:.

Hello,
I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300. Bought this device last April. At that time I was completely new to rooting device. I didn't know what to do. I searched online about rooting device, read many post by users in various blogs and threads here in XDA. Then I was very curious to root my device. But even then, though i knew what rooting was and its merits and demerits, i had no idea how to root my device. So I started searching again for an easy and fast way to root my device. Then I came me across the framaroot thread here and thanks to the developer of Framaroot, I was able to root my android safely without any problems. It was a very useful app for beginners who had no idea about rooting.
After few months, I received a firmware update. I had no idea what changes it would bring about in my device. In a hope to find out the new features, I updated the firmware. But sadly, there wasn't any noticeable change. So once again I seeked the help of framaroot to root my device. I was left with an error message and didn't know what to do. Again by searching on Google, I came to know about the OTA update about which I had no idea prior to the firmware update. I realized that the OTA update was a curse to Android rooting and I was left with my boring stock rom without anything. Today again I searched all over the Internet for a very safe and easy method to root my device but couldn't find anything like the framaroot. So here I am kindly requesting, the deveopers to kindly update the already existing methodsor make a new easy method to root android devices so that people new to android can experiment and enjoy root features. Sorry for the long story, thought it might be useful by explaining everything in detail. Hope I have not violated any of the XDA rules. If I did, I apologise for that too but please don't remove this thread. It would be very nice if anyone can find a solution as there are many people in the same situation as I am right now.
Thanking XDA and all the developers for there services.

Thanks for the post. Nevers seen this before. I will surely try it out. I have heard about odin before but was not confident to use it as I thought it may brick my device. Is there any root apps like Framaroot that can help make the process a lot faster and easier without the use of a computer.

1- Its the fastest and most reliable method I femilliar with- just follow the vid orders step by step (according to your device model), and no harm
should be made (unless you plug out your device in the middle of the process, or using a different model type- but even those can be resolved).
2- No apps that I know. Although i would not recommend it even if I found one- just seems too riksy than using the computer...
Basically all the OP questions are answered in the faqs and guides .
Root is constantly updated as and when possible but its not a simple question of just making a new one . Read the relevant root threads .

If it was only that easy on S3 would save a lot of trouble ..yep follow instructions in thread and use PhilZ .tar.md5 not the zip file and if you are flashing CM 11 you do not need to root the rom is already rooted.

Something is tempting me to try it out. Lol. If it works, i will report it here and it will help other s3 users too. At the same time, something prevents me from doing it. I get a feeling of bricking my device. Then I will have to fix that too
Before I do something like that, can u predict if it may work since the same method worked for the N7000 or can u tell me if have you tried it before? (Please tell me if I am annoying u, it doesn't matter )

If you really a noob in this business, I advise you to first get familiar with basics of Android.
Here is the link, learn about these carefully. It might come in handy in the future. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930844
Here is another one. It is about pros and cons of rooting your device and in generally what 'truly' is rooting. https://www.technorms.com/5591/pros-cons-rooting-android-phone
There are few ways you can root your device. Surely, each way has its own pros and cons. But as far as I know, there 2 ways you can root your device quickly.
1. Kingoroot
2. Rooting through ADB
Kingoroot, is the easiest of all rooting methods. It is basically a 'one-click' root app. But since there is no thorough checking on what truly is happening under the hood while rooting through this method, I flag it is un-safe. It does the job but personally I believe it is unsafe.
If you need any help, we all are here. But don`t forget to get knowledge from different sources on your own. Trust me, it will help you alot even when something goes wrong. Goodluck :good:
