Unrooting... how do I make sure?

Hello,
I'm returning my G2X to tmo due to many problems I'm having.
All I had done was root it using superoneclick and froze some apps.
So today I unfroze the apps and used superoneclick to unroot.
How do I check and make sure that the tmobile guys isn't going to do some boot sequence to see if it's rooted.
Thanks

Download Terminal Emulator and type su into it.
If it returns with a #, you still have root.

Would it be the same if you just looked for the SU app in the app drawer?

OK, typing su returned an error about uuid, and superuser is not in the apps list.
Cheers

maybe putting this in the RIGHT section would help....
but just unroot with the oneclick root tool....then run tibu or root explorer or a app than needs su permissions

No superuser. Thats how to be sure.

Don't worry they wont even check. Superuser app is about as far as they would go.

[Q] Question about Rebel Rom

I just flashed Rebel rom and its amazing. But I just hate the sony launcher. so, can I just download the blur home from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23730009&posted=1#post23730009 and just throw it in system/app to get the moto home back?

I havent tried it but you can always try making a nandroid backup and flashing the CWM on boot just in case you get in a bootloop and that way you can go restore just your system....make sure you set permissions to rw and I recommend root explorer vs es explorer.

Just do not delete the Ericson home unless the moto blur home does work. Let me kniw asap if it does work. I dont think youll have many issues but then again im not a dev so proceed with caution.

I'm iffy on whether or not to do it or not without a devs approval. And I am far too lazy at the moment to flash CWM on boot. (I am typing this in between BFBC2 games) so I may do that later or not. I just want to see if I have approval to move it from my root to system/app

Ok, I just copied my blurhome.apk to system/app and nothing happened. I then went to settings>apps>all apps>and cleared the default on my launcher, hit my home button, choose home and everything worked flawlessly.....
It even has the ics launcher icons.....
Edit: Rebooted the phone and everything seems slick and smooth with motohome ics themed on rebel ROM beta 2....

You might have to download something called moto home home fixer off the market to actually set it as your default.

Alright, I don't think I'm doing something right. Did you push it to system/app with adb or did you just place the apk right in the folder with root explorer? If you did the latter, how do you install it or whatever?

I downloaded a app on the market called moto home fix and the I copied blurhome2.apk to system/app and then I went and cleared the default on my Sony launcher and hit the home button and choose home as default and it worked perfectly.

I use super manager for my root explorer and it says (not installed) next to blurhome2.apk. and when I click moto home it says not a motoblur device. how do i install it in system? Do I have to reboot first?

Try root browser. That's what I used. Delete super explorer and delete the blur home 2 out of the system and retry with root browser

Can sgsg4 unroot itself

I did a factory reset cause some issues where occuring, now none of my root apps are working, SU is still there but it fails to get itself root access when it updates. Do i need to re root? With super one click?

Use root checker to confirm?

You can also see if super user app is there in your applications...
ofcourse you can check that by downloading root checker app from play store.

Just reflash.

Like lumin says reflash. Use the second link in his signature.
However what rom are/were you on?If it is not a stock based rom dont use the reset feature within the phone use the one in recovery.

Thanks lumin you continue to be a trusted advisor. I flashed
a stock gingerbread from lumin last week.

Perfect is a hard statement to make. Any of the ICS flavors are pretty stable there are bugs but even stock roms have bugs. I think barebones by antonx is a good one and VB by FB is too.

Is it add simple as installing stock GB was using heimdall? I've read good things about VB would you possibly post a link? Most I click on are dead/inoperable...

Actually I think it did. But since your so quick to make BASELESS accusations I will explain. I'm new and didn't really know where to put it. After my first post I decided it fit better elsewhere. Tasks for inquiring jacka**

Had that problem before u just reflash the ROM. As long as u can still go to cwm recovery

It un rooted itself again! Wth. I dont have cwm. How do I get that?

Run Gremlin Remover and go from there. You will have root and CWM to flash the ROM you want.

I'm not sure that I understand the cwm. Click work mod? I put that on my CPU and tether it with the market app? Sorry this is still very new to me...
