so i recently used superoneclick to root my phone. The program said my phone is rooted yet when my kernels etc are the same as stock. I have superuser on my phone but how do i change the kernels etc so that i can use non market apps like wireless tether?
Kernels can be changed with new ROMS. Rooting means you get superuser permission on the terminals so things can be changed.
i dont understand what you asking about non market apps? But you can use apps that required root.
Hope i helped.

thanks, sorry let me clarify.
I downloaded wireless tether and titanium backup to remove sprint ID. The issue is when i try to run either, they dont work. Wireless says the kernel is the issue. What else should I do to be able to use these apps?

Try barnacle(it's in the market) for wifi tether and you need to download and install busybox in order to use titanium backup, and be careful what you remove because you could brick your phone...

Thank you for the barnacle thing, i havn't removed anything im having issues using anything that requires root access, just unrooted my phone.
Can anyone give me a step by step to rooting it? I simply want to remove sprint ID and have my phone run faster. Cant think of any apps i would really need.
Download z4root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=446145&d=1290341328 transfer it to your sdcard and use a file manager to open it(if you don't have one download astro) install and run it, choose permanent root, and let it do it's thing...
did that, still isnt working, thank you though.
it appears anytime i try to run an app it says something along the lines of not having root access, even though it is rooted
Weird. Hmmmm. I meant i dont know much about your phone. I know that when my root got effed, i just did a factory reset and re-rooted and it worked.
Sorry couldnt help
have you tried this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shkOp2Q2AM4 ?

going to try this now, just didnt want to since it seems a bit more complicated and im really weak when it comes to linux
You could try installing Rom Manager from the market. If it works you will be able to flash a custom recovery, backup your device and flash a custom ROM.
Give it a go and let us know if it works.
cool so i followed the video, then it wasnt rooted, so i used z4root apparently it took two things to fully root my phone. Not sure why, some sort of sprint failsafe?
Although i forgot to set a backup to sprint features, so im a bit screwed down the road.
You prolly can find a sprint ROM somewhere. Or you could do a factory reset, not sure of that will bring back the sprint apps. Dont they have the sprint apps on the Android market?

That would be my video. AND no, you are NOT rooted if you flashed that tar. All that tar does, is make your phone STOCK with custom recovery, to ensure a nice clean platform to work with. You would hold down volume down, voice button, and power. let go when you see samsung, and then apply an update.zip for the kernel. i do have a video on how to root the Android 2.2.2 and it's a proper root video. Sorry for the confusion.
Hello everyone,
I rooted my Razr HD a while ago, don't remember why. Anyway, I ended up getting a new phone and switching with a friend. And now I need to unroot it so my Mom can use it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I know there was an automated tool somewhere but I can't locate it.
Btw, it's rooted with Safestrap. I don't know if that changes anything.
I suggest u to use universal unroot utility by MattGroff and u can uninstall safestrap normally

I would uninstall SS prior to un-rooting because you'll still need to get into the app to uninstall the recovery. It might not let you in if you don't have root access.

If you go into the actual SS app on your phone, you can uninstall recovery. Do this, prior to deleting the app. If you delete the app first, you'll never be able to delete the installed SS recovery because you need the app to do it. Uninstall recovery through the app, then delete the app, and then delete all the SS folders and backups on your internal to get you some memory space back. As for the root access thing, I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you'll be able to open the SS app if you don't still have root access. It's a root access app but I'm not sure how that would work.
Well it looks like the phone has been set to factory..I turned it on just now, and I think my mom or dad may have done it. It works fine. But there is no SU or SS apps on the phone, I just checked. But when I boot the phone, I still get the bootloader unlocked message. Which means its something in the SD card correct? Any idea how to clean that up?

If your BL is unlocked, there's no way to relock it. However, I know there are some flashable boot logos running around somewhere in this forum. Just find one and flash it in recovery.

I want to clean the SD card out too though. The message is whatever. Can I do that without screwing up the phone?

you can go to settings/storage and erase the sd card but that wont get rid of the warning. also, if it was rooted, it still is even though the su app may have been removed.
I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S3 in desperation to enable wifi tethering, using the saferoot root method.
after finding out FoxFi patch was availiable, I don't have to root the phone.
Is there way to unroot ?
Thanks in advance.

Kind of strange that you don't like root...To remove root just open up the supersu app and in settings/preference of the app there is an option to remove root and uninstall the app.

The biggest one is Titanium backup which can backup all your system apps and user apps and can be store to any android device or when you need to perform a factory reset which save you a lot of time to re setup your stuff. Second, you can side load app like Adobe flash, Ad blocker etc...Third, you don't have to wait for foxfi to update, you just side load the rooted tethering app and done, or you can remove or freeze bload ware apps to keep you phone running faster....just named a few...

but thank you for showing me the other aspects.
i do have a one more question on the phone...
how to i lock it up again from custom (unlock)?
i haven't done much for rooting and unrooting with the galaxy s3...

Once you flashed the 4.3 successfully, you're locked. The unlock (custom lock) display is a bug with the s3, you can just ignore this. My wife first phone is using a pure 100% stock and it shown as custom (with the unlock lock icon) and she had a gps issue with the phone and exchanged for a second one and this one also shown custom. Verizon knew this too, that's why they exchange another one without issue. You can tell if your phone has being alter by boot into download mode and you should see the legit status Also you could do a search and should find this is very common on the S3.
Are you saying that the root on a 4.3 updated Phone is un-doable?

Now why you think that's what I said? yes you can unroot the 4.3 updated phone. You can uninstall the supersu or reflash 4.3.

Give this a try:
Odin back to VRALG1 4.0 ICS- http://www.mediafire.com/download/kk...w_ship.tar.zip
Do not accept the OTA then dial *2767*3855# to reprovision the sim card
the thing is that I want to restart it to Verizon but then connect it to t-mobile sim card

Dears,
I'm having a problem in which I don't know how to solve, I tried searching before opening this thread, I found many who have similar problems but I can't do what they do to solve it, I'll explain why.
Problem: I have a ColorOS OnePlus/64GB - the seller had mentioned that he flashed the latest update of CM11 into the phone. I received the phone and it works perfect, can not love it more. However, I noticed that these apps (Root Explorer + Titanium Backup) are installed, I downloaded "Root Checker" to see weather my phone is rooted or not, and it tells me that my phone is NOT rooted. The problem now is how do I uninstall these apps? it seems they are "system apps", so they can not be uninstalled from Settings>Apps.
In all the other threads, topics, the answer would include (a rooted phone) to get rid of these apps, any solution? as I have no clue in Android developing, please bear with me.
Regards,
You cant delete sistem files/apks without root.
You cannot uninstall system apps without root. You will have to unlock your bootloader and then obtain root in order to remove these apps.

Would it be possible to just flash another stock ROM that doesnt come with these apps ?
At the end of day you'll need root. Just remove it using titanium back up, it's easy to do and I doubt there's a stock rom that just removes those apps and that's it. If you're looking for a custom rom, Mahdi is the best in my opinion.

I would love to root and do all these kind of stuff but I have no experience in do so, I'll try following the steps and hopefully don't ruin my phone .. . one final question (would disabling and hiding those two apps affect anything? as long as I don't see them I'm happy)

Hello. If I root my android phone (htc one m9), will I be able to unroot it afterwards?
And are there any good programs that can root my phone model with a single click, without me doing it manually?

Use KingRoot app to root your device. If you use KingRoot or SuperSU super user app then both apps have unroot option that can completely remove root from your android.
I installed KingRoot on PC , but all is in Chinese language?
And btw, can I screw up my phone with root, can something bad happen, like bricked phone during/after root? Is there a chance for that to happen? Or root is totally safe?

Can't say that rooting android is 100℅ safe. But I never bricked my androids by rooting them. After root if you delete any system file other than bloatwares then it chances to bricked android. Always get nandroid backup after rooting your android.

Yeah I think I won't root it...
I wanted to root it because I deleted some photos from my Gallery and I found some programs to recover deleted photos from android, but they all require device to be rooted before scanning for deleted photos. But I'd rather not take that chance of messing up my phone because of a few photos.

Have you tried disk digger photo recovery. It works on both rooted and non rooted android. There is limitation on non rooted android. It may recover your photos.
Yeah I've tried that one, as well as many others from Play Store but most of them just find the photos that I already have in the phone, not the one deleted, or they just can't find it, I guess more deep scan is necessary, that's why it requires my device to be rooted.
