Trying to install GFE on a previously rooted but now unrooted phone. It's failing because it thinks I'm still rooted.
I have unrooted, removed Superuser (the apk and from the App list), etc.
What the hell is it finding?
Maybe su or busybox in the xbin folder?

Yes. They are both there. But how do I get rid of them now that I'm not rooted? ADB shell errors out with read only file system. If I re-root and delete them, then how do I make the file system read only again?
Also, do I need to get rid of /system/bin/su or is that part of stock Android?
Thanks so much for any help.
So all you did was delete the .apk? Download Super 1-click, re-root, then use it to unroot.

I rooted by flashing the update.zip and then unrooted by removing the Superuser app and then changing the file system to read only.
I thought SuperOneClick only worked with FroYo on the G2X and not with Gingerbread.
Success!!!!!!!! Many thanks to jboxer and others that pointed me in the right direction.
Here's what you need to do for anyone else facing this issue:
1. Boot into Clockwordmod Recovery and then connect your phone to the computer. CWM Recovery will be seen on ADB with root permissions.
2. Before issuing the following commands, after your phone is connected, use the menu in CWM Recovery to mount the system. If you don't mount the system you are seeing CWM's mini Android system and not the phone's.
3. Issue the following commands from your computer:
#adb uninstall com.noshufou.android.su
#adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
#adb shell rm /system/bin/su
#adb shell rm /system/xbin/su
#adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/psneuter
#adb shell "find /system/xbin -type l | xargs rm"
#adb shell rm /system/xbin/busybox
4. Use the CWM Recovery menu to unmount system.
5. Reboot your phone.
Before you attempt to re-run the Good setup, check one last time to make sure that su is gone from /system/bin and /system/xbin and that Superuser does not show up either in your Apps or when you go to Settings->Manage Apps. If any of this is still present you need to redo what is written above as the Good setup will fail.
I also recommend doing a Nandroid before unrooting, a second Nandroid after unrooting but before installing Good, and then a third Nandroid immediately after successfully installing Good.
Hi,
Today I've unlocked, flashed Paul's CWM recovery, and then rooted my HTC One S.
I've installed SU and Busybox but Titanium Backup still says it couldn't get root privileges. What am I doing wrong?
reupugi
try to update the binarys in SU
if that fails re flash the root.zip file
happened to me yesterday
Thanx for the quick answer.
When I try to update the su binarys it fails saying it "failed to find currently installed su binery...
What does that mean?
uninstall and reinstall the SU app
or reflash the root file as this is supposed to install SU on your device
Well, last night I spent hours trying to uninstall and reinstall su. I've also flashed Paul's root twice but still no luck.. I've tried to install busybox with two different apps but still no luck... Is there any way to roll back everything and start over?
you need to flash the su through cwm. then you can update the app's. You can not just download a app and think that it will root the phone. Look at step 3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24478083&postcount=1
So I encountered a similar problem (https://github.com/ChainsDD/Superuser/issues/46).
Edit: Of-course it'd make more sense to confirm if this could be the problem first...
Code:
$ adb pull /system/framework/framework.odex
$ strings framework.odex | grep HtcIntentFlag
@test_code: getHtcIntentFlag:
@test_code: setHtcIntentFlag:
addHtcIntentFlag
getHtcIntentFlag
setHtcIntentFlag
I patched the su binary in accordance with the change I observed in the framework and that works for me.
Could the OP please try the following su binary:-
* http://revolutionary.io/one-s/su (md5sum: 83fdeaef210225d7361e6c8eb63bae96)
This will need to pushed from recovery, something like (after ensuring /system is mounted):-
Code:
$ adb push su /system/bin/su
$ adb shell chown root /system/bin/su
$ adb shell chgrp root /system/bin/su
$ adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
(You can obviously push to xbin/ if you have the appropriate symlink set-up in bin/, etc...etc...)

I've flashed su through Paul's cwm, following steps 1,2 and 3. I did have a problem entering bootloader through shutting sown - power+vol down. For some reason that didn't work, numerous times, so I got into the bootloader through terminal (mac) and command prompt (win 7).
Can I root to my Newsmy T3 7" Android 4.0 Tablet?
what rom I have to download and where can I find it?
Please follow the sticky/announcement at the top of this forum and always include a thread title.
So far from my limited searching is haven for http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/android-tablet-q/28118-custom-roms-rockchip-based-tablets.html
Has a download link there for an rom install.
thank you so much, but search rom for newsmy T3 (not T7)...

Ah sorry didn't realise t3 and t7 were different. As said just started research on this. The tablet is for my young daughter (under 3!) and it keeps her busy doing YouTube etc. Bought it a month ago but didn't decide to research and install a rom on it as it's been okay until I installed games on it this week and zaps battery.
I only know I got her a newsmy 7inch tablet,will look into what model heh. If it's a t3 I will look for it as well and let you know if I find one or will look into writing one as I've got back into coding after 6-7 year absence due to a motorbike injury.
Root for Newsmy T3
Hey Guys, I just got one of these tablets and I was able to root mine quickly by following the instructions on this forum.
http://www.flashmyandroid.com/forum/showthread.php?309-ROOT-TOOL-for-ICS-4-0-3
download link for files: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1503729/RK2918_4.0_ROOT.rar
thanks Dave.S for posting it!
When I first tried to root mine I had some problems getting the correct drivers installed and I stumbled upon the Knives-and-Fork tool made by DieHappy that was very helpful and it sets up ADB nicely. http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?5008
Succesfully rooted my Newsmy T3
It is strange but this fine tablet (Newsmy T3) is poorly covered in the web. It has been very difficult to find any info about flashing or rooting it let alone finding the correct rom.
I just managed to root the device. It was not so easy as implied in some posts because adb shell was unable to copy superuser.apk and su to the revelant folders even after remounting system as rw. But it seems that this tablet comes with busybox preinstalled (even though as non routed, busybox cant work properly until you root the device). So when connected via adb shell you can copy the above files to system/app and /bin respectively by issuing the revelant busybox commands. In brief do the following:
1) Google for superuser.apk and su for ICS 4.0.4 and download the two files.
2) Send those files to your sdcard with adb (issue those 2 commands: adb push superuser.apk /sdcard/superuser.apk and adb push su /sdcard/su)
3) Go into console mode (adb shell) and issue the following commands:
4) su (gain original privileges)
5) mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mtdblock8 /system (This remounts the system folder as rw)
There is already a su file under system/xbin (or system/bin) on this device, now it is time to copy it on your sdcard as a backup in case something goes wrong.
Now with the help of busybox you can copy su and superuser to the desired locations...
6) busybox cp /sdcard/superuser.apk /system/app/superuser.apk
7) busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
8) busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su
Next, set the correct permissions for su:
9) busybox chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
10) busybox chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
All ok now exit adb shell...
11) exit
At this point your newsmy T3 is already rooted and you can check it with any free software like rootcheck. Once checked, reboot the device and youre done.
Hope this helps.

I managed to root it using Odin and ROOT FOR J100FN BY HOSAM KASHTO
I can't post links so search for root-j100fn-1969414 and go to the .gsmhosting.com site
Now i'm stuck to unlock it. Managed to get the nv_data.bin but i can't find the correct value to unlock it and i've got no ide what to look for.
use frama root app
Tp root. Your phone use frama root app hear is a xda link

Did you root your j1 if yes can you send me the keyboard, message and new call screen(small call screen app).
i am facing the same problem bro. Can you please tell me from where i can download the firmwhere?
My phone stucked on samsung logo. Please help!
the root by hosam makes the phone show it is rooted but thats it. i don't get any root access on the apps
tried to push the su and busybox to bin but output is access denied. read-only
my phone is now rooted. just follow the instruction by hosam kashto .. search it (j100f hosam kashto) and it will appear.. up

what firmware version did you use?
I was able to root mine after a lot of tries.
First install the boot image by hosam kashto (using odin)
you need adb on your computer.(Get it in C:\Users"username"\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools [if you have android studio] be sure to hold down the shift key while right-clicking to get the open comand prompt option in the context menu).
when you run "adb shell" you should see [email protected]:/ # (this means your phone has root access but you can't use it on any apps unless you have the su and busybox binaries).
in the same "adb shell" command input mount -ro remount,rw /system (it will make the system partition writable so you can run a rooting app) [I used kingo root but if there is a better option you can tell me]
after kingo root is done you'll be able to run apps as root but there is one issue. any time i tried using another superuser apk that isn't kingosu the rooting had to be done over from the point of using kingo root
I hope this helps
---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------
In short you can use "mount -ro remount,rw /system" in adb shell
then push the su and busybox binaries to the bin, sbin, and xbin. (push su in bin, sbin and xbin; busybox should be in xbin only)
"mount -o remount,ro /system" makes the system read-only again, I didn't use it but i am not sure if that will cause a problem

Oops. For SM-J110F, not J100F.
Ladies and Gentleman,
I was able to root the HD8 6th Gen using Kingoroot while in airplane mode. I download the executable and ran it directly from my computer. My Fire tablet is on version 5.3.1.1 and was never registered with Amazon. I can run su in adb but the SuperUser app is not working on my tablet. I am looking into replacing the KingoRoot SuperUser app with SuperSU. I suggest you block updates as soon as you achieve root.
look at this thread to see if you can remove Kingroot and replace
https://forum.xda-developers.com/am...rtool-root-t3272695/post69855730#post69855730
This applied to 7" but may be same issue you are having. Note I would suspect you at least need to install the app since you used the PC version but then that might allow replacement fully. The Rootjunky script basically installs supersu and removes the kingroot app following this approach: https://www.droidmen.com/remove-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu/
So now the questions are:
* Does the app work too or just PC version
* Does a device which has been used and registered with Amazon work? I am on 5.3.1.1, have OTA disabled, have Novalauncher sort of working, and managed to get Amazon to disable the ads lock screen but right now the device does not leave home due to Opendns constraints as I did not want to lose 5.3.1.1 while waiting.
Decided to try this on 5.3.2.1, ran Kingroot for PC few times (version 3.4.0 build 1142). Did not work. Hope it works for you 5.3.1.1 guys.
I believe 5.3.2 can be downgraded to 5.3.1.1 but I also believe 5.3.2.1 is confirmed to not be downgradable.
I was lucky and got my BF unit with 5.3.1.1 and blocked OTA right away
I register to reply this thread and tell everyone that 5.3.1.1 CAN BE ROOT using KingoRoot(not KingRoot)
blocked OTA and planning to place Kingoroot with Supersu now.
go kingoapp.c0m(replace 0 with o) and download the PC one.
Tried APK one but seems stuck at 90% or not enough patient?

Detailed instruction on post#38
so what is difference between
kingoroot
and kingroot
??
I am familiar with Kingroot but kingoroot seems to be another animal? Is kingo safe? We have a total of 3 lifetime posts from two accounts who are speaking its benefits....

honestly I dunno, I'm new to android, just bought the kindle to start playing with android...
but I found it difficult to replace the kingoroot with supersu, when I type su in terminal, it show nothing, can't give root permission to terminal emulator.
I replaced kingoroot with supersu following instruction from androidforums.com/threads/script-replace-kingoroot-with-supersu.919175/
After it's done, supersu doesn't prompt for root access. So I set 'default access' to 'grant' in supersu settings, and it seems to be working.

I was not paying attention, it's KingoRoot, not KingRoot. Downloaded KingoRoot for PC (v1.4.9), and tried on 5.3.2.1. Rooting failed, unfortunately.
I ran the PC kingo and rooted.
I then tried to remove and replace with supersu and it failed
I lost root
I tried to rerun Kingo PC but it wanted debugging enabled even though it was
tried the apk kingo (from kingoapp.com; playstore it is a adware hack)
got stuck at 90%
exited and kindle was really sluggish; maybe something to do with my novalauncher or something?
power off reboot and stuck in boot up (Fire image). Now can't boot.
Message is be careful with kingo when removing....will try restore now.
Edit: wiping data and cache did not help. Did brick recovery to 5.3.1.1 (which is what it was on when I got it), and managed to recover. Glad I don't have to send this one back to Amazon!
I will now restart kingo root effort and if it works will report back steps (including supersu replacement).
So I have root according to kingo but "root checker basic" says I do not have root.
Try to open "superuser" (which is a kingo superuser app) and it is just a blank screen then back to Home.
The removal tool that @2ig2ag linked did not work.
It failed on "mount -w -o remount /system" with "mount: operation not permitted"
I also tried to manual cp the su file over and get error "read only file system"
Edit: Despite kingo saying you have root, you don't. At least not complete root. I am unable to copy anything into system/app via ES File explorer too. I am unable to grant programs that want access, that access. For example, Titanium BackUp is unable to detect "Su and Busybox" so no go.
I am able to pm disable the firelauncher for example but that is about it

I soft-bricked once, stuck at fire logo, sideload adb and resumed normal.
I didn't use the root checker to check, the superuser included will crash when I launch it,
but I can su in adb shell..
@2ig2ag's way not work for me either,
I cannot run the script, it said permission denied, then I try to run it manually,
I can remount /system, it do not show any error, but I am stopped at "cp ./su /system/xbin/daemonsu",
it said "daemonsu" text file in use.
tried ultra explorer as another way to get to /system and it just locks up when trying to detect root.
Tried manually installing supersu.apk and it locks up and requires reboot to get back to working device.
@phpbb88 I retried "mount -w -o remount /system" and it worked; maybe I wasn't in su at the time. I get the same error on file copy
So to summarize:
you can: adb su
you can: pm disable fire launcher and OTA (not sure if unrooted allows this too?)
you can not:
write to /system
install any apk that require root and grant root access
switch to supersu
adb remount (fails)
I would not call this a successful root. I am not even sure of the pm disables will last more than 24 hours.

I ignored the errors thinking they were from differences between kingo apk and kingo PC versions of what they put on device.
Supersu does manage to install itself but root checker still says I do not have root.

I only install supersu as the step after running step1; it worked, and took hold (at least no errors and opening the program looks normal). The issue is that it won't grant access to anything (TB, flashfire, etc)

Kingoroot PC asked me to grant root access to it by pressing OK on my device's pop up when my device is under root,
but my device wouldn't show anything.
Is there any problem on fire OS that wouldn't show this pop up?
