Hi guys. Samsung Galaxy Ace, 2.3.6, rooted with the file upd_1.zip downloaded with this website.
1. It's an .apk file for rooting, correct? Are all such files (i.e. apk files for rooting) installed through the recovery mode?
2. How does it differ from
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ub3NodWZvdS5hbmRyb2lkLnN1Il0.
3. It's installed in system/app, correct? If it is a system app, why can't I uninstall it with Titanium backup like I do with Samsung Apps, Voice Search, FM Radio, and other system apps? (I use a file called unroot.zip to uninstall, downloaded from this website also)
Thanks guys!
1. .apk files are not installed through the recovery mode, every android app is an .apk file , so install it with the .apk installer
2. With "superuser" you can give apps rootaccess to your phone
3. No, root is deeper in the system, you can´t uninstall it with titanium backup because titanium needs root! Did you root per kernel or per App ( superoneclick )? If you rooted per kernel, install a stock kernel and you won´t have been rooted after. If you rooted per App, you normally can uninstall root with the app .
I hope I could help you.

i need an app on Android 1.5 which can Backup System apps as APKs.I need to back up the Google apps(Market,gmail etc). Please tell me of an app that can do this and tell me if i need to root my device.
Thanks
You need to root your phone then you can use either SU file manager $1.97 or Root explorer(file manager)$4.00
You need to root it because generally you need super user permissions to manipulate system/app files.
It may be worth it to try a free app that is used for file managing (it will be a related app to the above stated) To attempt to copy the apk file to another location.
Hope that helps
EDIT >> not sure of whether or not those apps are on andriod 1.5 marketplace.
If you don't want to shell out the cash, I believe the free Root Uninstaller (which als requires root permissions) can backup any installed application as an apk or configured to perform backups automatically anytime an app is installed or updated.
I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2X and updated with SuperUser 3.1.3.
Is there anyway for me to change/update this Super User to SuperSU v0.99 ? How can I do that? Do I need to re-flash the SuperSU.zip file again from Recovery?
Reason being SuperSU v0.99 is user to use, I could grant/deny apps from the options.
Thanks.

You will need to delete the current su binary on your system partition, then flash ss. Though superuser is the superior app and has all the necessary settings. Easiest way is through the team win recovery project - TWRP - file manager.

I've deleted the superuser.apk using root explorer and then I install SuperSU from market play. When performing the update, it says update failed. Now I cannot access to my Titanium Backup. Luckily I've performed backup using TWRP and restored back all the files.
Is there any other way to update to SuperSU? Can I just use TWRP to flash the SuperSU file (found this rar file "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed") directly? Please advice. Thanks
Yeah, simply download supersu from play store and install it. Open it and it will ask you to update su binary, then superuser will ask for permission, allow. Then use a root un installer app or root explorer and delete the superuser.apk and reboot phone
I just rooted my Asus TF101 tablet with Brk's Root Toolkit v8.
It says I am now rooted, but is there any way to know for sure?
I have rooted my phone before & when I did that I was able to remove all the useless apps that came preinstalled, but on my Tablet it will not let me. I was thinking with root access I would be able to do this.
I am thinking of flashing to another ROM, but want to be sure this thing is rooted first.
Any insight is appreciated!!
Thx!!!
Do you have a SuperUser or SuperSU app installed?
I would open it and see what happens.
Also, I do not believe you can uninstall system apps JUST being rooted, you need an app like Titanium Backup to do the uninstalling. They still are not uninstallable in the Settings - Apps section just by rooting.
Alternatively, install a root explorer (or enable Root Explorer permissions in ES File Explorer) and see if you get prompted for root access without errors.

Ah.....forgot about Titanium back up. I knew there was an app I needed to use.
I open SuperUser & it just says No Apps in List or something.
thx!!

download Titanium Backup from playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
alows you to backup applications, remove applications, freeze applications (donation version is required to freeze i think)
you can do this with
Link2SD app. It's free & also you can freeze apps
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
Use any ROOT File explorer
If you want to just uninstall apps, and not care to backup/freeze them, then you can also use any file explorer with Root Capabilities, like Root Explorer, Root Browser , ES File Explorer (my favorite, lovely GUI ) , since you also get the added bonus of any other file explorer (browsing files, copying, pasting etc. )
After you install, Grant superuser permissions and then go to /system/app.
Then you'll have to mount the directory as R/W. [For ES File Explorer, bring up the side menu (swipe left-to-right, click Root Explorer, click Mount R/W, and select /system from the list.
Now, locate the apk of the corresponding app you want to uninstall, and just delete it!
[Yeah, I know this method is a bit complex than others, but an effective alternative]:good:
Download SystemCleanup from the play store. It tells you what system apps are safe to remove so you don't delete something you shouldn't.

Hello guys! So, I have a Nexus 5 (stock ROM, twrp and rooted) for a few days now, and I already unlocked and rooted it using the Nexus 5 Toolkit by WUG's . I have the TWRP installed, and using the root checker from playstore i can confirm that I have root. But the strange thing is that it looks like I dont have permissions to the System. Let me explain the problem: I want to install App Ops, for example. Like always, I go to play store, and download the application. Open the application, do install (SU appears and I grant permission), reboot, and when I open the App Ops, it is in the menu to install again. Tried with this flashable zip from @apatal, but no luck. I already tried to install others zip through recovery and had no sucess, but I thinked that was the zip that was damaged. Whats wrong with my rooted Nexus?
