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.

So since i'm about to flash i'm a little interested in a different ROM. Are there any perfect roms for this device?

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?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

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...

Lost Root

I had root custom cwm recovery had JB ROM installed and flashed solid ice 2.0 and booted up. Once in tried installing ROM toolbox and couldn't get root access. I still have custom recovery and super user but I have no root access. I did searches and followed all instructions but couldn't find anything on my current situation. I've never flashed a ROM and lost root. I'm on sprint but have my girlfriends s3 rooted on Verizon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I lost root on my galaxy nexus, I just restored a nandroid backup and I was back in business. That should work assuming you have a previous backup.

Try opening SuperUser and updating your binaries.

Thanks but I have no option in super user to update binary.

In super user store to the left. You should see some green and possibly Red writing. Touch there and you now have the iron to update binaries.

Just for clarity for future users who stumble on this thread, which method worked: updating your binaries or installing whatever is in the dropbox link?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yes it was the flashable zip that kintwofan was so cool as to post. That's what enabled me to update binaries on the version I'm on. Great idea, that's why I wanted reply with the success but I should have clarified

Sorry I know I'm not helping at all, but really, that made my day.

More information. What ROM, do you have a custom recovery? If you have stock recovery then the ota def updated itself. If your stock rooted then it will do that without asking

Please help!!!

Man,
My questions must be so stupid that I can't even get someone to respond!
When trying to flash certain things using CWM, I am prompted to install an “untrusted zip"...
Has anyone experienced this and is it safe to install untrusted ???
Please help

Is whatever you're flashing stated as compatible with your device/made for your device? Have you tried flashing with a different recovery (If available)?

I have Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 and was trying to flash the nexus 4 boot animation..
This happened a few days ago when I tried to flash some of the android 4.2 system dump.
Both times it says “ install untrusted zip". I just tried to toggle verification and that did not help.
Thanks for helping

You might as well just make a backup and then flash .

I'm such a noob I don't even know how to make a backup, I've been trying to figure this out for days!

No. It's not safe to run untrusted.zip. It may be contained with viruses and may screw up your phone or PC. Only run files with actual names because you don't know if it's good or bad. It can crash your phone, not to mention your PC.

"Untrusted" is not the file name. The recovery is just stating that the file is "untrusted" since its not official from the manufacturer.

Hopefully your phone is rooted, if it's not I can't help ... make sure you have an unlocked bootloader and install Rom Toolkit from Google Play. Rom Toolkit has a bunch of boot animations for free, including the nexus 4 animation. Also, it will install these from the app itself - much easier than doing it in CWR.

Hey rookie, welcome to xda!

While I've got your attention..
Can you guys help me with something else??
I'm running jellywiz RLS12, yesterday I flashed a 4.2MOD pack over jellywiz. After flashing it, I realized I didn't want it. I tried to research how to “unflash" stuff but was unsuccessful, ended up having to do a factory reset and reinstall jellywiz.
Any pointers on how to do this more effectively??
Thank you!

Just grabbed this cheap from menards. Comes pre-rooted would love to to install a custom rom too.

This is the best I can find, not sure if it works yet as my PC is jacked ATM... It has cmr and bloat removed, pm me for other info... https://a170132.uranus.1blu.de//data/public/d9c188c9d2e5984b774443ddbe44e1b3.php?dl=true

So flash at your own risk obviously and you have to follow the same procedure as polaroid directs to when you first connect the tablet... The link will directly DL this .IMG file... I can't wait to flash it but can't ATM so when I do I'll post results here or if anyone else does please post results...

jr, I see you are in my neck of the woods. any updates on flashing with that rom? I have a couple of these that I am itching to crack the seal the on.

Root Access
