I rooted me One SV when it was 4.1.2, Sense4+ I had CWM 6.0.3.2 on it. Then my device said an OTA is available for my device. So I *RELOCKED* the bootloader and applied the OTA by following instructions from here, which went perfectly fine!
Then I went and unlocked the bootloader again, using the HTCDev site, then went fine too.
Now after rebooting, I seem to have lost the root. So in the link above I went ahead to do Step 4, I got the lastest TWRP for and flashed it with fastboot, flashing went fine.:good:
Now went I go to HBOOT Menu and select 'Recovery', all I get is the HTC Splash screen and 'Entering Recovery...' written on top.
I don't know if it actually flashed any recovery or not, as far as fastboot command was concerned it didn't return with any error!
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
It seems, you have k2u which has a new hboot with the OTA update.
You need a new recovery for that, which you can find here.

Thanks for reply. But, I've got K2_UL instead, any clue for that one?
My bad! I found the one
Recovery_TWRP_2.6.3.2_K2_UL.img

that does the trick for me! Back to the rooted state now Thanks a ton!
Btw, how can I remove bloatware from the new OTA? NoBloat Free app can't recognise that device is rooted, so can't remove anything really. (Hope this doesn't require me to open a new thread)
Also before 4.2.2 update I had real trouble permanently removing the system apps like 'Best Deals' etc. NoBloat Free removed them but they always came back as soon as I rebooted the device
Any other bloatware removal app that you know that can do the trick for me? Thanks in anticipation!
Kernel has system write protection, which means you either need a custom kernel with write protection removed (which actually don't exist) or you must be S-off.

So I must be S-OFF to be able to persist whatever I change between the reboots. Also another thing I noticed which is VERY annoying, after a while I loose the root 'state'!!!! Any reason why is that? Am I missing something?
Don't know about your root problem. But S-off is not wrong in my opinion.
If you are losing root then it sounds like it is temporary vice permanent... Interesting lol.

If your installing superSU as a system app, then every reboot the secure kernel is gonna kick it out......meaning lose root
Just keep superSU as a user app you'll be fine on reboots(with keeping root that is)

I've got Superuser (from ClockWorkMod) installed as a system app and its not that it doesn't ever get root access. It DOES get the root access once booted up. The access stays for a while, and then after a while when try to do something that requires root, it fails!
What I did, after reading your post, was uninstalled the Superuser app using Titanium Backup. And without rebooting, installed it again from the market. And after reboot is comes back as system app! Grrrr.... Please help!!!
My problem is almost like this the one described here.

I can write up a flashable zip that will remove the system superuser app and install it again straight to your user app location if you want. It will resolve the issue for you. Let me know. Won't take me long at all. I already have one done up. I would just have to make some slight changes in the updater-script.
Edit: I'm just gonna do it anyways, and I will come back with the link for you to download it. If you don't need it later then maybe someone else will down the road.

Firstly, thanks a lot that you promptly dished out the fix! I had SuperSU before Superuser but I wanted the one that could allow PIN protection thus Superuser. As in my previous post I tried to uninstalled it as a system app using Titanium Backup, and it was unsuccessful as the app is listed as system app under 'system/app/'. Though this, it seems to have fixed the problem of loosing

However, I'd like to apply that fix of yours, but with Superuser app, and not SuperSU. Please let me know if I could (and how to) change your fix without bothering you to do it yourself, that way learning a bit myself on doing these things

I could do that, but it would be easier for you to flash the zip I did and then go in to the superSU app >> settings >> switch superuser app.
That will basically clean your device of SuperSU so you can go on the Google play store and install a different superuser app of your choosing.

Cheers, I just did that. Switched the app to Superuser that I was using before. After flashing your zip I checked that Superuser is no longer a system app, which is partly what I wanted to do and thus achieved, so thank you. Though, I'd like to make a note that Superuser app asks for updating the su binary, as usual. I thought that was been taken care-of by your zip, or was it just for SuperSU? However, it remains to be seen if I loose the root again, between reboots.
Thanks again a lot.
It was just for SuperSu.

I don't understand in the thread - what do I have to do?
1, You must be rooted.
2, Install SQLite Editor from Play Store
3, Open app, wait until all apps are listed
4, Tap Internet -> webview.db -> password
5, All your passwords stored in default web browser should be listed there
I just tested it on my Desire S, and found my stored facebook password
Thanks, what is the easiest way to root my htc desire s? S-on 2.3.5 and latest hboot i think
If you are not rooted yet, it's irrelevant to root now, because you will loose all your data during downgrade and rooting.
Check my signature btw, i was also downgrading from latest RUU, S-ON, LOCKED, same as you.
But you have no reason to do it now, because as i said, you will loose your data.
Maybe temprooting and then installing the mentioned app would work.
But im not sure.
It's worth try in my oppinion. By temprooting you will not loose anything. After rebooting the phone, it will be in it's previous state, untouched...
As i said, check link in my sig.
The 1st step, but don't push misc_version, you don't need to when you are not going to downgrade.. Push just zergrush, or tacoroot, depending on your SW version.
Better wait for someone more experienced, as im still prety new here, and don't want to make brick of your phone.
Thanks - but I think I have found a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390496 What do you think to this?
Big No No, from me.
Someone in that thread commented and said, that you have first to unlock your phone via htc-dev unlock. Unlock the phone officialy via htc site and according to their manual steps.
What does it mean to you ? You have to put your IMEI on the website, so they're absolutely sure, that you have been trying something with your phone and you loose your warranty. There's no step back.
Temprooting on the otherside, as the title say is temporary. After reboot, it's gone. In my oppinion - ideal for you. But i don't have unrooted desire s to test if SQLite will work.

I thought that you mean this as "fully rooted".
Since not just flash custom recovery and then use SuperOneClick to push Su and Superuser app, or search for a flashable zip. This will give you root.

Because with the stock you will not be able to flash the su binary. Custom recovery has root access by default, contrary to your current one and the OS itself.
You can use zergrush from the guide you posted above but this approach involves more manual steps. Anyway each if the mentioned ways will give you the same result it is up to you to decide what will be easier to do for yourself
Btw Superoneclick automates zergrush and the su flashing so search for it. I think this is the most straightforward method

Install superSU from google play, you'll get access to root.
go to about phone and click on the build version until it tells you you are now a developer. that will enable the dev tools, so you can get to root. then set it to apps and adb.

Hello, I am looking for a custom ROM which has not been rooted and has lots of customizable options. Does such a thing exist?
The only reason I do not want a rooted version is because my barclays banking does not work with root. Ive been using Purity for the past year but after checking out stock 4.4.3 I decided to try the banking app as I had chance. It makes life so much easier
So yeah basically, is there a none root custom rom with all the features for customizing ect...
You can remove root from any rom. /system/bin/su or system/xbin/su
ROMs like Slimkat can turn root on and off.
There are also other options to hide root. Root cloak for example

there are also many custom roms that you also have to flash su with. if you dont flash su, then you use the rom without root. its actually a fallacy that you need root to use custom roms/kernels. you dont need root to flash things in a custom recovery as well.

Like @rootSU already said, there are other options than choosing a rom without SuperUser. There are Xposed and Cydia Modules to hide Root for some apps. RootCloak.

It turns out that it kinda rooted my phone. No root apps work because the super su app that it downloaded with root was not working. I opened it up and it said I had to update my su binaries or something so I hit continue and it had an error that it couldn't download. I then tried installing titanium backup to try and uninstall it but sense I need super su to give it root, I can't uninstall it because of the super su problem. I tried installing superuser and it didn't work. Now I'm stuck because I can't fully root my phone with other ways which I have no idea why and i can't uninstall the bad super su app because I need it to work for me to be able to do it. I tried flashing my rom again but this stupid error saying I had to have internet to update software kept me from doing that and I DID have full internet access. I am stuck. Why can't their be just some extreme data reset that REALLY resets your phone. My phone still works fine but I have cod and having this problem is killing me, I almost can't even use my phone. PLEASE HELP I REALLY NEED IT!!!!

Why can't their be just some extreme data reset that REALLY resets your phone. My phone still works fine but I have cod and having this problem is killing me, I almost can't even use my phone. PLEASE HELP I REALLY NEED IT!!!!

I am kinda in a pickle here. I was rooting my phone using this Chinese .exe application and it had a big check Mark on the screen so I unplugged my phone. Mistake. It turns out that it kinda rooted my phone. No root apps work because the super su app that it downloaded with root was not working. I opened it up and it said I had to update my su binaries or something so I hit continue and it had an error that it couldn't download. I then tried installing titanium backup to try and uninstall it but sense I need super su to give it root, I can't uninstall it because of the super su problem. I tried installing superuser and it didn't work. Now I'm stuck because I can't fully root my phone with other ways which I have no idea why and i can't uninstall the bad super su app because I need it to work for me to be able to do it.

Go to chainfire's website and get the flashable supersu. Then flash it. You should have root. To unroot there's an option for that in the app

I did not use that exact website but it used the ioroot file. I opened it up and it gave me instructions on cmd. And I followed them and it said that device found: vzw! Then it said something about this exploit does not work with your phone's ota.

Make sure that the app is also updated with Play. You can check out the app Root Checker in Play store also. That'll tell you if you have root or not

Supersu is updated to the latest version and the root checker app says I do not have root but that is because supersu does not work properly. I went into download mode and it said I have root. My apps just can't use it because supersu is messed up

If you cannot update binaries, that usually means SuperSU cannot access root.
With a root browser (you shouldn't need root to do this though) look in /system/etc/init.d. Look for 99SuperSUDaemon. Also in /system/xbin look for daemonsu and su. Tell me if any of those are missing.

Daemonsu, not 99superdaemon, is there. Su is also there. But init.d. is not there

Hi,
I am following this link to root my new note 5 using the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../t-mobile-sm-n920t-root-methods-info-t3183805
Everything is fine until from step 5, I realized that the kernel, and the rest of the files, when trying to browse them from the phone on recovery mode and flash them, the extension will not even be read by my phone. Therefore I dont know what to do. the post said the extension is supposed to be zip but there are in in only two img files, which when connected to the phone, won't even be recognize. so how can i flash the phone?
please help,
Yann

Now I think I do have a clear idea o the issue: I followed all the steps this time
however, SuperSu would pop out at the end and when I check: root access denied: I think the previous root that I did not perform right, is the issue somehow. Is there any way to get rid of it or go around it?

Did you flash a kernel? If you did then download super su from the market and try TiBu again. The error means that TiBu was not given super user permissions. So either you dont have a rooted kernel or you dont have SU installed to grant the requested permissions. OR you have both and just didnt grant SU permissions when asked.

I did flash a kernel , and any other softwares provided under this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...easy-steps-n920t-aoge-odin-twrp-root-t3187422
Next, what do you mean by Supersu from the market? What is TiBu also?
Thanks for your contribution.

The market has a super user app for managing SU permission requests, you may already have it. It will look like a pound sign "#" and say super user or SU. If you dont have that app you need to download it. The developer is named chainfire.
TiBu is short hand for Titanium Backup
Waouh I am learning a lot from you guys. O, I will be looking for that SU with the # sign. It is definitely not what I currently have.
by this sentence: "OR you have both and just didnt grant SU permissions when asked." : do you mean that the phone may have already been rooted? without SU telling me? because honestly, I dont know whats wrong.

If you already have SU then you would have been prompted to grant super user permission by a pop up dialog. If you mistakenly select deny or wasn't paying attention (it has a time out that will select deny but only temporarily if no user input is selected). If you mistaken selected deny then you would need to open the SU app and remove the TiBu entry, restart TiBu and select allow.. That is only IF you have the Super User (SU) app installed..
OMG! YOU ARE GENIUS! THAT WAS THE ISSUE.no it says that I do have root access! finally. Hyper shell (FAST): YES. However Fast/Auto App Install: No. THANK YOU THANK YOU

Hi, I just realized that I am not done yet. More new issue with the phone. It looks I did not do something right or one of the softwares is not correct: after we rooted the phone yesterday, IO had it unlocked with the help of stilfilz. However, ever since , when I make phone calls, the phone would go off by itself after a while.
Have you heard of previous similar mistakes? If yes, any ideas about how to fix it?

You need a different kernel. You should give me the model number of your phone and I will point you to the most recent arter kernel. I am assuming you are rooted with noble which was known for kernel panic during phone calls which caused reboots
