So,.... messing about as we do, trying to get an app to work that wont work on rooted device, I installed voodoo to temporarily hide my root and it seemed to work.
but now I cant regain root access. 1: Not sure if voodoo is the issue
2: tried all fixes that I could find on here and nothing working for me
Not really an issue at the mo and I'm sure theres a work around but this is quick fix / quick question
Can I just Flash a new custom rom without root access?
I was going to try a different rom anyway. and don't mind losing data, apps etc
just need to know that I can flash without root and not going to get stuck somewhere
Cheers

No you cant you will struck at Samsung logo
Any other views on this?
Is there not an option in Voodoo where you can hit "Restore Root" ?
Yes there is a re-root option in voodoo but this clicking this doesn't give me back root.. Titanium backup tells me I don't have root, as does a root checker basic app i have, tells me I do not have proper root access
Is the SuperSU/Superuser app still installed? If not reinstall it and reboot. Try that.

first off, i have a cdma hero and i am running cm 6.1rc now, with classicalgas's theme.
i have weird permission problems going on. it seems like i have halfway lost my root. i can run superuser and all the apps that require root, but i cant modify or change anything in my system folders. typefresh gives me an error that says it cant remount. when i use adb to mount the sd, it says i dont have permission. i get the # but it still says no.
ive also noticed a problem with my nandroids. it worked the other night, but now, twice, it will let me make a backup but it will not restore it. it says there was an error and to do it thru adb.
so, basically, i guess i messed something up somewhere. did i lose some of my root functions? can i re-root, or do i have to go stock and do it all over again? any suggestions? you guys are all amazing for the knowledge on here, so i know someone will help me out.
thanks in advance!
tl;dr-- lost some root functions. do i need to start all over again?
anybody got any ideas ?
I downloaded and installed the Incredible S Beta rom that is listed somewhere on this site for the Incredible. My issue is I want to revert to another ROM, HOWEVER, now my Superuser keeps force closing and will not allow ROM Manger to flash. I try to reboot in HBoot and ONLY get the start-up screen when doing Vol- and Power. Any suggestions on how to get into Hboot or another way to flash a different ROM when SuperUser will NOT allow permissions or Rom Manger wont reboot into Recovery (because superuser forecloses and wont let me flash Rom Manager
BTW-The Incredible S Rom works great...just NO pic/video (As it states in the description.)
Editing to take away some of the clutter (my clutter)
I am not sure what happened. As stated above once the ROM (which is great!) was installed, Rom Manager was no longer granted superuser access (was trying to reboot into recovery via Rom Manager). It wiped the Recovery Version from the phone and would not let me flash a new recovery. Everything else seemed to work fine (superuser permissions, ie. SetPC, etc.)
I tried plugging the phone in and reflashing Unrevoked directly to the phone. Unrevoked stated the root access was denied and asked if I had a "newer firmware".
I also tried uninstalling superuser (to only reinstall and see if it fixed the issue), however, Superuser was included in the ROM and would not let me uninstall.
The only way I was able to get back into Recovery was to re-run Unrevoked Flash and UNPLUG the phone when Unrevoked managed (somehow) to get the phone into bootloader. From there Clockwork ran fine.
Installed a different ROM and all is good.
The only thing I can think of is: In some post regarding the Incredible S being not branded to a certain carrier. When the ROM was installed, it showed "EVDO" in the notification bar (which leads me to believe it is for Sprint), I am not sure how THAT would affect anything being on a Verizon phone...again..only thing I can think of.
Just reboot the phone directly into recovery.

It wont let me. I dont think...I tried the Vol-+power...nothing..just reboots. Tried booting into recovery via Rom Manager, but since superuser no longer is granting persmission it wont even do that...is there another way to flash a different ROM?
I just tried reflashing Unrevoked directly to it...it failed to access boot, something about the firmware being too new...???
I dont know anything about your device but maybe your root is broken? Re root and re install superuser goodluck.

Oh, HTC Incredible.
I went into Rom Manager (and against ALL I have read) am trying to instal and reboot using Rom Manager...instead of going into recovery mode...phone is just sitting here "thinking" right now...nothing YET about being denied root access...fingers crossed...
OK, not sure this was SMART...Hooked phone back up to PC, ran Unrevoked flash kit again...unplugged phone once it came up in recovery...have access NOW to CLockwork...wiped data..installing different ROM as I type...hopefully this will work..
YAY...close call...sorry to waste everyones time..lol. So..If your installing the INcredible S Rom onto your incrediable..I have learned two things...1.) Unrevoked failed to push recovery due to the firmware...2.) you may lose superuser ability....
You would get more help if your thread title would actually be helpful.
Include your phone model, the rom you tried, and what happened (SuperUses FCs[forcecloses]).
Caps, lots of exclamation marks and a title like ZOMFG I NEED HELP, usually deters skilled people from threads like this.

Im sorry but I didn't really understand
1. Did you try to root your phone? And now you want to go back to stock?
2. You managed to root, but it's stock after reboot? Only the superuser app left, but no root rights? And you want it removed? If so, the solution is simple. Menu-->Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications. Scroll down until you find it.
are you sure its going to work for my galaxy s plus?sorry about my worries byt i have read so many things that i am so confused if you can answer me if its going to work for greece and if you can point my to the procedure???
thanks so much for your answer i am waiting for your answer
i tryed to root with cfroot multi downloader....after reboot i saw the superuser icon in menu but none commander would work as root.....and i cant remove the superuser app because it isnt in software>programs....so i thought to return to stock and reroot.....
but then i thought to try the last one super one click procedure.all went well i gin root access but my phone went sluggish immidiately so i rebooted....after reboot root was gone......i also ryied easy root unroot with no luck...\and the strange thing is i cant find to application manager
CF-Root? I think CF-root is not for SGS+, but for the normal SGS!
And SOC afaik do not support SGS+ officially.
So just use the rooting-procedure as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707
i also tried this with no result root and unroot....i cant imagine what else i could do

Hi all, I’m in need of some help!
I recently rooted my N7100, using CF Auto root – great instructions, easy to follow, and it rooted perfectly
All was good, except that it would not of course, run SkyGo. After downloading voodoo and superuser, I managed to get the phone to temporarily disable root, but Sky Go still wouldn’t work. So, I un rooted, and Sky Go worked - and then re-rooted, with the aim of trying to temporarily disable root again.
Noooooow, my binary su counter has gone to 3, root checker says it’s not properly rooted, Sky Go won’t work because it says it IS rooted, Titanium Backup and Triangle Away won’t work because they say it’s not rooted – and I’m stuck!
Tried re-rooting yet again, via the same method, and it seems to work, but again, root checker says it’s not rooted ‘properly’, and no apps requiring root will work. Also, in spite of supersuer and superSU not being installed (as far as I can see anyway), superSU doesn’t get installed during the root process, as it did the first time I did it.
I seem to be stuck on some sort of root limbo – does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for reading.
You might want to try the megawipe option from zoot's wipe script you will need to flash clockworkmod though. Hope I helped you out! Good luck

Can someone shed some light onto what needs to be done to un-root a custom ROM? Basically I have a crappy old phone which I decided to repurpose for working with an MDM solution my company is using(Citrix Worx Home/Zenprise). I can't use the stock ROM because it's Gingerbread which is not supported by the Citrix app, so I had to flash CM9 on the phone.
The problem is that the app checks for root access. I tried using some tools like "Hide my Root" without success. Even if the SU app is removed, the root detection still triggers.
So I am looking for generic steps of what can be done to remove root access from a ROM which came rooted. Doing a search the only posts I find are more relevant to people who want to return to stock ROM and not unroot a custom ROM. Are there other things that need to be modified besides removing the SuperUser apk?
Try this app..

Costs a little but hope it's worth for it
