Hey guys, im sorry to start a thread. Ive looked everywhere for a solution but i cant find one. I rooted my phone yesterday and even managed to install some new roms. One of those rooms seems to have disabled my market completely. I was not happy with the recovery program i initially installed, so i unrooted back to 1.5 again. I did not think that my market would be disabled after the sapp.nbh, but it is. I want to re-root it, but i can not download a manager off the market. Is there anything I can do? or am i stuck with 1.5 forever. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
that definitely should not have happened
must have been a problem with the rom
I've been running rooted roms since last summer without any problems
What message is the market giving you when you try to open it up? Maybe there is something wrong with the sign in. One thing that you can try though is a different sappimg file to unroot it back to 1.5.
Hope this helps!

hey guys,
bought my samsung captivate two days ago and i love it. from reading all the posts about how rooting is awesome i finally took the plunge and rooted my phone with the one click root program. followed the directions to the teeth, everything went fine. even went as far as downloading clockwork and backing up my rom.
few hours later, im totally blown that i rooted my phone. i realized i threw away my warranty.
is there ANY way to unroot the phone and make it totally stock and make it seem like the phone was never altered? i read some answers of "yeah" and some answers of "once your rooted, you can't get back" (i remember reading about an article about how some android phones like the nexus one, once you root theres no going back period). the program i used had a unroot button but im not sure if that would wipe everything away to factory settings and erase all traces of the root.
i know im effing stupid for not thinking it threw. but hey, its good that i came to my senses before i loaded up an os.
to be clear, my phone is just rooted. nothing else. im not running cognitive rom or anything. its running the stock samsung 2.1.
so can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me solve this problem?
im a total noob when it comes to android.
it took me 20 minutes doing that one click from reading the directions over and over again lol.
i need some step by step directions for stupid people
okay, so i followed the directions to unroot. the programs that were installed when i rooted seemed to have disappear. to be extra sure, i reformatted my sd card and than factory restored the phone (from settings/privacy). quick question though, after i pressed "factory reset" my phone rebooted and than for a quick second i saw the same screen i saw when i rooted (the black screen with the yellow font? looked like a system command prompt i guess). it came on for a sec and than disappeared and it booted regularly. did that happen because i did a factory reset or did that happen because im still rooted?
wtf is wrong with me. i just want my unrooted captivate back (and my warranty lol)
odin to stock with master clear.
There's a thread under android development something with "stock rom" that should restore your phone back to factory.
If you did all of that then you are definitely back to stock now & theres no way of detecting your phone was rooted. You could of gotten away with just using one click to unroot. Thats all I did when I returned mine after a week because my gps never worked at all. I dont think they even did anything to check if it was rooted or anything. Hows your gps on the new one by the way? Mines still bad but at least it sees some satellites now. My old one had a hardware problem where gps wouldn't do anything at all.

When you use odin to flash back to stock does that restore the AT&T bloatware as well? Or should I use TiB when I first get the phone to get the bloatware back on?
Thanks,
JOe K.
After trying to exchange my phone for another phone (thinking the GPS is a hardware issue) I had rooted and flashed a custom rom. I reverted back using ODIN master clear and ODIN 2.1 rom (Which puts bloatware and everything on it) and there's no way to detect it. The only time it will truly void your warranty (I believe) if you go into the store with a custom rom or if you go into the store with a bricked phone and they figure out you were modifying your phone.
thanks for the answers guys! why is it that you cant "unroot" a nexus one? i heard they'll always be able to tell if your rooted once you do it.
hey guys, i rooted my old x10 without any problems and i wanna do the same to my captivate. so i found some instructions on here about doing it. im running 2.2 on the phone right now. i found a video link through here
youtube.com/watch?v=LFHLVF1aA0Q
ive got the right apps, i downloaded whats needed, but im still having issues.
ill open up z4root and hit permanent root and itll run for a minute or so and then just shut down like its been closed, no errors or anything. i try to fire up titanium backup, i had the pro version downloaded through aptoide but it stopped working so i uninstalled everything and tried again and now cant find it so im using the free market version. anyways it opens up and says i dont have root permision and need busy box, so i click the problems button, click yes do it to install busy box and it gives me an error through titanium and says to refer to a webpage but doesnt bring up anything. as it stands z4 doesnt seem to be working, when i open it up again it gives me rooting options but not to unroot, and i just tried it now and it forced closed and now wont even open.
so yeah, thats alot of info but im lost with this. any help would be great.
an i had an account on here with actual posts but forgot my sign in info, havent been on here in a while so please dont think my first post was one that was just asking for help.
Super one click root Give that a try.
i found that this morning, having issues getting it to work aswell, phone wont go into debugging mode while plugged in and keeps freezing ocl. ill sort it out thanks
When it comes to super one click i found it works best on a non 64bit system.
same deal, it wouldnt work on my windows 7 equiped laptop but my pc has vista and it worked no problem first time. thanks for the help guys
What 2.2 are you running? Why not just use a custom rom that comes with root? I haven't found the need for root because the stock att roms don't come with mobile ap and you have to do a bunch of work to enable unknown sources.
Hey there, Just want to thank everyone here in advance for any help and direction they give.
Got a few NOOBish question of course... but please understand ive used Google, and The search option on this forum (and others!!)
I got a Samsung Galaxy S. which im trying to root... These are my issues..
1. When phone turns on, it says VIBRANT, it clearly says Galaxy S across the back of the phone, But person who gave me the phone says its Galaxy S 4g..... I cant tell the difference of which/what phone it is.
2. I Got it a few days ago, so i updated to 2.2 froyo (via kies mini) after i connected it with with tmobile
3. Superoneclick was NOT working ,it kept hanging , and getting errors. Until a few minutes ago it told me it was successful with the root....
Then said it would send a superSU request of some sort to my phone. Then i get a "SuperSU binary needs to be updated,", then i recieve a "installation failed"
NOTE - SuperSU was installed PRIOR to root attempt.
4. Rom Manager said successful flash of CWM (i flashed the galaxy vibrant version) ..
Cant reboot into CWM recovery tho, it goes to Android System Recovery (3e)
5. I tried superSU after rebooting, and i get same error. Also when i type SU into terminal command, i still get "permission denied" (so makes me believe the phone never rooted thru superoneclick ? Obviously ? Or im wrong.... i dunno
... .Other notes, i tried z4root, by manually installing the apk via ASTRO manager, i clicked permanent root, it begins, it gives a notice of "shell being aquired" (i may be wrong on the wording.), then it vibrates the phone and shuts down. Any attempt to click z4root icon again causes a vibration of the phone. Thats all, app stays closed until reboot. Tried a few times, unsuccessfull.
I have checked a few of the other options, one was an update.zip file i found on here, but i got an error also. Then i see alot of forums mentioning flash back to 2.1 using obin, BUT most of those posts are from early 2011 ? Id assume 2.2 is capable of being rooted so much later.
So if any direction can be given, id apprecaite it alot guys n girls. For sure. Also, after root, if anyone knows of some good custom roms , or kernels.. (I do notice the lag on 2.2 BAD.)
I havent ever messed with kernels, but i did jus go thru issues rooting a metropcs wildfire S... OMG dont get me started on that thing of trash !!!....
Thanks again... ill await some responses as i search some more.
Ok so its a samsung vibrant galaxy s

Ok... weird, but i was going thru some apps, and seen CWM needed an update, i updated it , opened it , and was asked superuser permissions.... Then went to terminal, and SU, and got the # sign. So it rooted without having to go back to 2.1 with odin.
So i am rooted now.... If anyone knows of good roms / kernels (im 100 percent unfamiliar with kernels... Roms,, ehhhhhh), for this now ?
Thanks again.

ok.. guess noone can help ?
Did i post wrong ? I mean i did clearly state that i used the search options, and i am doing my own homework on the issue.. but still remain stuck on some of the issues at hand...
anyone ?
You likely would have a lot more responses had this been posted in the section for the device. There are a number of differences in the vibrant and the gs4g. If you still are not certain which you have, you could quickly tell by the battery... the s4g is larger. Look at the amount, google it.
Once you have the correct model, if you are still having issues go post in that section. From reading your posts, it sounded to me like you had it fixed and were now just looking for the best ROM to flash.
Purchased triangle away to try and use it on my s3.
When I open the app it does a few things, searching for this, searching for that, then a message pops up that says "magic header not found. incompatible device?"
ive emailed the dev and havent gotten anything back yet although its only been a day.
not in a super rush to get the app working nor is it really necessary at all. im really just a noob that likes to play around with stuff on my phone and i like to fix things when they are broken.
so if anyone has any tips or if they've ever experienced the same issue or even know what it means, id appreciate it. thank you
oh and phone is rooted with latest cwmr and running the stable build of cyanogenmod 10. Havent flashed anything else. thanks again

It's not working because you are on CM. Odin back to stock JB. Flash recovery, root and unlock and then it will work. Must be on stock rom.
Makes sense, thanks again.

alright so in rom manager today I downloaded a new rom and it workes fine but it un-rooted my phone. I have a back up of everything but I can't use rom manager for nothing, every time it tells me this ''it says "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands'' It's really pissing me off. I needs this phone bad to make sells to make money Its running 2.3,4. Pretty much what I want to know is would it be safe to RE-root while running a custom rom? Cause I don't wanna brick it. Heres a pic of everything I got, It's a Droid 1, the older Droid.

I don´t think it should be any trouble, I´ve had to re-root my Galaxy Ace a couple of times with a few custom roms, and also a time when it lost root privileges when i updated the su binary. So you shouldn´t have any trouble, as long as you use the root that´s right for your phone and android version (2.3.4)

I would suggest to find a stock ROM for your phone and Flash or whichever way you use. It should work
