[Q] Rooted phone HTC Desire HD but no super user icon - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey everyone I just did a big boo boo and cant seem to fix the problem im facing. I rooted my phone using Visionary which worked flawlessly and I had Titanium backup working like a charm. I managed to do a factory reset by accident and erased everything. So I downloaded visionary again and tried to root the HTC Desire HD once more but it says my device is already rooted. Thats fine. But When I download Titanium backup it says that it cant find the root and also there is no (superuser icon) anymore, what does this mean? So I have a rooted phone but nothing works. I dont think i did any backups proper ones atleast. I factory reseted it in the boot menu trying to get the S-off and thats when i did the reset. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Step by step instructions would be great thanks!

Hey guys I finally figured it out! After some extensive research with my friend google. I got it working again. Basically all I did was uninstall visionary, titanium backup and then reinstalled visionary+R14 and reinstalled titanium backup it recognized the root and the superuser icon popped back up. everything is going smoothly for now at least. I think that Visionary+R14 doesn't need to know if the phone is already rooted or not it just reroots it anyway.

[Q] Automatic Un-root!

I've rooted my desire using r6-desire-root-alt and flashed cyanogenmod6; then after 2 days the phone encountered a problem and returned back to htc rom!!
The superuser widget is not longer available! So I do not know if my phone is still rooted or not! can the phone be rooted without a superuser widget?? The clockworkmod recovery still available!
How the phone returned back to HTC rom on his own?? Can the phone un-root itself automatically?
Thanks
I have not heard of a Desire doing this. You said it had a problem and then it was gone. Maybe you restored the wrong image from Nandroid? Anyway, if your recovery boot is still available restore a back up of your rooted phone. You did take a backup after you got it how you liked it, right?
Unc.
try rooting it again, i unrooted my phone but when i root it again it says "still rooted" but no SU app
Did you try reinstalling SuperUser or SuperSu?
Use this app to check your root:

Problem With Messagiing After Root... Please Advise

Hey guys!
Yesterday I rooted my Charge Using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122657
Used the CWR and Peanut Butter Jelly Time Kernal (non over clocking one)
I then used Titanium Back Up Pro to freeze the following apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082588 - First Post
I also have setcpu installed, root explore, battery calibration and system monitor.
Today ... the phone restarted out of no where and now the messaging app wont launch. It just gives me the following error:
"process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas of what I should do?
Cheers!
Ok now Gmail stopped as well
Ok guys ...
Tried some stuff...
Removed all programs I installed, also un froze all the bloatware. Restarted and still no luck.
I then re flashed the kernal and no luck and then flashed the over clock one and still no luck. At this point Im ready to do a full restore back to non-rooted
Anyone have any input before I do this?
USING Whatever rom you used to ROOT.
Reboot into recovery after unfreezing all apps. There's a batch for that.
Fix Permissions.
Clear Cache.
Reflash the rom you used to ROOT with.
Will replace the corrupted file assuming there is one since you did not say specifically what you froze.
Just a note: Most of that stuff that you guys are freezing, you don't have to. It does not run unless you call on it to run. Some of the stuff (I.E. My Files which is your file explorer) you don't want to freeze.
Thanks for the reply.
I pretty much did that last night but when I tried to do the Fix Permissions it asked me what size .... it was really weird.
I ended up doing a factory reset / data wipe as well as the rest and its working great now, only dumb thing on my part was I forgot to do a back up with Ti-Pro first so I had to reinstall everything (app wise).

[Q] a little help

So I waited to register to this site till I ran into a road block. I have read and searched and search but to no avail have I come up with a answer. So I come to you fellow Samsung Infuse 4G owners for help. I have successfully rooted my phone with super one click, ran clockwork recovery and installed zeuss's build 6 and my phone runs great. Now here is my issue. My friend liked the way my phone was so he went and got a used one then handed it over to me to do the cool stuff. So I set the phone back to factory deleting everything including user data.... I now have installed the new version of one click and this new phone and it says it works and installed but when I run clockwork the superuser never pops up. Now I have checked The settings and its not the issue. I have since factory reset the phone again deleting user data and superuser was still on the phone. I've tried to remove it like 50 times to no avail until today when it finally went away after I tried again the unroot on superoneclick but after restart and I try to reinstall it, it says its already rooted, so I make it reroot and I still havve Tue same issue. I have tried to clear data and reinstall the packages via the Samsung recovery but it says there is a missing path on the internal SD. So now I'm stuck... its been like this back and forth for 3 days. So I ask for a bit of help as my first post. BTW I'm Dustin I'm 27 and I live in Washington state and I love my swet zeuses builded phone. Thanks in advance

Un-Rooting G2x

I rooted my G2x using Super One Click and installed Titanium Backup Pro.
I now want to un-root it. The first time I tried to re-root using super one click I forgot to tick the USB Debugging and SOC froze. Unplugged it and rebooted and tried again but it seem like it didn't work 'cause it told me Super User was gone. So, I r-rooted it. Now everything is back to it's rooted stare along with Super User.
I want to un-root and do a factory data reset. I've unfrozen and restored all the apps I modified.
Before I try what steps do I go through to get my phone back to Factory settings?

[Q] Unrooted with SuperSU & lost all data

My phone's been rooted ever since i got it and the only reason i was looking into unrooting it is because work email app won't install on a rooted device. i didn't want to return to stock and lock my bootloaders and all that as i really like the rom i'm using, which is Trickdroid 8.1. a lot of searching on the internet and several discussions pointed to using the unroot feature in supersu but i was under the impression that data on the phone would not be lost/deleted. boy was i wrong.
i went ahead to unroot in supersu and it took sometime to remove itself along with superuser app. unrooting seem to have worked as i am now able to install work email app BUT i just noticed all of my data is gone. anyone know what the hell happened?
I know there's not chance for me to get the files back but i'd just like to understand where I went wrong (if not). other than not backing up everything beforehand of course.
