I rooted my Aria using Unrevoked3 and it seemed to go well. It completed, after a couple failed tries, and everything was installed. So, I installed a couple apps that I wanted (Wireless Tether - Open Garden, Root Uninstall, Droid Wall) and opened them up. I opened Wireless Tether and gave it Superuser permissions and tapped to start...and it says it can't. So, I go to Root Uninstall and choose to get rid of one of the AT&T apps that was preinstalled. I select it and it says that it was granted root access. I tap uninstall and it says it can't do it. What's wrong? Is there some way I can re-root without redoing Unrevoked3? I've already done it twice.

So I rooted my new Captivate (Rogers, I896) using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827544
Everything worked perfectly, and the Superuser Access icon appeared in the app drawer. Unfortunately, no programs can gain superuser access. ROM Manager keeps giving me an error when I try to do anything (flash recovery, fix permissions etc) and doesn't show up on the list of 'Superuser' programs. I haven't gotten any prompts to allow access, either, so I don't know what's wrong. Any ideas, XDA?
EDIT: Scratch that. Re-rooted with z4 and its working fine.
Please help. I rooted my evo last yr but have now switched to verizon and need to root my revolution.
I have read many of the threads on this site as wel as others. It seemed that z4root would work and be the simplest way. But now I hope i didn't screw up my phone. Heres what I did:
enabled USB Debugging
downloaded z4root.apk from 4shared onto my SD card
downloaded astro file mgr from the market
started z4root, selected permanent root
it said running exploit in order to obtain root access
then installing shell
then it crashed
i tried again but the z4root app wouldnt open
I uninstalled z4root app, the reinstalled it
Selected temporary root this time
it says running exploit in order to obtain root access but its been like that for about 40 mins.
The circle in the center just keeps spinning.
Should I let it continue? Close it out? Pull the battery?
Thanks for the help
Also what is the simplest was to root my revolution? I have a mac.
There have been a couple similar posts, but none seem to provide any help, so I apologize for creating a new one if the answer is already out there.
With that said, I recently purchased a new LG Nitro HD and promptly used SuperOneClick to root it. Everything seemed to work fine (on the first try); I rebooted the phone, SU was there, all seemed well. The first thing I tried to use the root access for was to change the LCD Density, and that didn't work - so I tried to update the BusyBox on my phone, using "BusyBox Installer". After I did that, my root access seemed to "break", by which I mean superuser is still installed, and SuperOneClick reports my phone as rooted, but SuperUser cannot authorize apps (or doesn't even try) and attempting to run an app that requires root access simply fails, suggesting that my phone is not rooted. Typically, I would ODIN the SOB and be done with it, but I cannot find any PIT files for the Nitro HD (and I am assuming that would be necessary for me to do anything with ODIN). I've also tried using SuperOneClick to unroot and reroot the device, but now it hangs on step 7 every single time.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions at all?
I believe I fixed this issue. "Super Manager" appears to use its own busybox, which is enough to open the system directory in r/w mode and delete the busybox directory from system/xbin. This seems to have restored root access, though a lot of apps are still not working for me. Still, apps are prompting for su access and are showing up in su's list of approved apps - which is more than I could get before.
Please advise - I am seeing this as well

The new MeanROM ICS uses the new SuperUser - however, it breaks root access as you mention. Please advise the corrective action. Send PM if ncessary
Im not sure why, but Im not getting prompted for apps that require superuser permissions. I have to go into the superuser app, close it, and then sometimes it works. I used sparkyroot while at .17, then backed up root with voodoo, then installed .26. Anyone else having issues with superuser?
Nope I rooted and it pops up fine. Maybe Clear Data on Superuser?
I had the issue right after I first rooted. a reboot fixed it.
Are you trying to get it to prompt each and every time a particular app requests root so you know what's going on?
If so, open superuser, find the app using root and delete it. What worked for me is to next reboot device. The next time this app requests root, make sure you don't allow it to remember your choice. It should then prompt each and every time thereafter.
No, I was trying to get the prompt to come up on new apps so I could access root functions. I used an app that installs busybox and that fixed it.
My goal is to COMPLETELY get rid of any root files / SuperSu files that are located on my device without having to reformat. Couple months ago i managed to install SuperSu and gained root and I did my own cleanup of bloatware apps and whatnot. Since then I have deleted SuperSu by going into the settings of SuperSu and clicking on the "Clean Root" option but without doing the original boot files option. Doing so, the phone reboots, cleans up , deletes SuperSU and i no longer have root. This is great and all but just one problem reminds.....
I can no longer play Pokemon GO because of the newest update that came out yesterday since it checks for rooted devices. Is there a way to completely remove all the files that are associated with the root process / SuperSU so that I can play this game. I have tried to use the app "SafetyNet Helper" to check for Google's SafetyNet CTS tests and it fails after i tried uninstalling SuperSU. I have heard of the Magisk app but it looks like you need a unlocked bootloader to install it.
Is there a way to get my phone back to the original state without reformatting my phone through Odin. At the end of the day, yes, i would rather have a rooted device than to play Pokemon GO but say what you will but this game has gotten me out, walking around my town, being social and actually making friendships.
Thanks for any help in advance,
