Hello again in need of assistance asap.
I have a somehow minor problem with my phone. I decided to factory reset my rooted huawei y220 because
-All of a sudden I can't access websites like:
>facebook.com
>yahoo.com
>gmail.com
I also can't access their mobile sites. I can't access the said websites from any browser from my phone at the time(Stock browser & Dolphin Browser). There is no problem with my internet connection since I am able to access these websites from my laptop and other handheld devices.
FORTUNATELY, I stumbled upon a browser named UC MINI. I can somehow access these websites but only if I am using its feature call "Speed Mode". If I switch that off I can't access the said websites.
I also factory reset my phone because a person from XDA told me that unfortunately, there is no compatible Custom ROM with my phone.
I don't know why didn't I just Unroot my phone with Kingo Root(The program I used to root my phone). And I also wanted to start from a clean slate and since I deleted the bloatware using titanium backup.
After rebooting from the factory reset I noticed SuperSU was left behind and it said that "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it This is a problem!" Why is that? I did my research that if you factory reset your phone with a custom rom it will cause problems(?) Well fortunately I wasn't using a Custom Rom and I checked my phone with root check to check it whether it is rooted, it isn't rooted anymore after the factory reset.
My doubts are:
>What is causing my phone from accessing these websites(And probably more)
>Is it a virus?
>Did I touch something with the system that made it faulty?
>I was kind of playing around with ROM Installer with the bootloader thing because I thought it would change the boot animation of my phone to something else.
>Is it okay if I root my phone again and see whether the SuperSU issue is fixed and the browsing thing fixed.
My Huawei Y220-U10 is working a smooth as new right now. Actually a bit faster than when I got it fresh because I uninstalled some bloatware when it was still rooted. My real concern is the connectivity issue and the SuperSU issue.
Hope to hear from you guys asap,
Jom
Hi,
I found this guide about factory reset for your phone, hope it is helpful.
As for the apps you are having trouble with, suggest deleting, doing a fresh install, and rebooting.
Not likely a virus.
Yes, if you root again you should regain superuser access... please note that superuser works on some devices and super su works on others.
As a reminder, we are happy to help when we can, as best we can- we are not here for troubleshooting issues.
Good luck !!

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 tablet with the tutorial from this site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24736900
It worked just fine for a couple days, then today I powered up the tablet and when I unlock it, it shows a problem loading all widgets, and within a few seconds the screen goes black, then proceeds back to the unlock screen. I unlock it again and this keeps repeating.
I didn't hack anything else, just installed superuser and a couple of other root apps. Really I haven't done anything else to cause this.
I don't even have enough time to go into settings and do a factory reset.
Any ideas? Perhaps in recovery?
EDIT - I did a factory reset in recovery. Is this going to fix it back to normal? I probably won't root ever again.
It probably has no affect, but what root apps did you install?
superuser, busybox, adfree, rom toolbox (which couldnt even detect my root but I never tried anything else)... those I can remember...
Did you install CWM and do a backup?
Im not sure what that acronym is for. I am new to all this. I followed the simple instructions in that tutorial and that was it.
It seems the issue is gone since my factory reset.
I am not sure if the root is still there however.
If there are extra steps to be done after a root it would help to have them with the tutorial....
A factory reset will remove root from your phone. Rooting it in and of itself should cause no issues like you are having it has to be something you installed and I would suspect ROM Toolbox. I'm not sure this app supports teh GTab+ or even has any useful purpose for us as we have no real ROMs to flash. It also contains a ROM Manager and if its the same one by Koush then it will defintely screw up our tablets.

I have done this ROOT like a million times (i'm a flash junkie)... testing the CM9 roms and back to stock again.. never had an issue with ROOTing the stock ROMs..
Suggest you download the latest firmware for your device and flash using ODIN and factory reset. Repeat the flash & factory reset a few times
Maybe you have the wrong clue of what your problem is. To root your tab is just a matter of put a binary called "su" on a directory on your PATH, usually /usr/bin and set it with proper permissions. This binary gives you superuser powers, but there's nothing on it or at least in the process that installs it that makes it interfere in anything without being called.
So accidentally you did anything that went wrong or any of programs that requires root did.

Sorry for taking a bit to reply, havent had the chance to get much PC stuff done lately.
Aaah so you think it was the culprit.... its wierd because when I tried to run the rom toolbox it shown that my tab was not rooted.
Then the problems started... as in my tab was rebooting itself and was stuck in a loop.
I did do the factory reset and then used a root checker and noticed it shown as no root access.
I have read that a factory reset does not remove root... are you sure it does completely?
I'd hate to go through another reset as I have set everything up again.
The only bug I have noticed so far with my tab is that the odd app (so far market and dolphin browser) at times I am unable to go back a page... the page just kind of flashes and stays on that page but does not go back. I end up having to restart the app.
Should I reflash with latest firmware and do a factory reset?
If so... I found this site, shall I use these instructions and firmware?

My phone's been rooted ever since i got it and the only reason i was looking into unrooting it is because work email app won't install on a rooted device. i didn't want to return to stock and lock my bootloaders and all that as i really like the rom i'm using, which is Trickdroid 8.1. a lot of searching on the internet and several discussions pointed to using the unroot feature in supersu but i was under the impression that data on the phone would not be lost/deleted. boy was i wrong.
i went ahead to unroot in supersu and it took sometime to remove itself along with superuser app. unrooting seem to have worked as i am now able to install work email app BUT i just noticed all of my data is gone. anyone know what the hell happened?
I know there's not chance for me to get the files back but i'd just like to understand where I went wrong (if not). other than not backing up everything beforehand of course.
I have messed my phone up and I don't know what to do, I am very aggravated and I need expert help trying to fix my LG G2.
My story is i rooted my phone with towel-root and downloaded a few root apps(Root Checker, Freedom, etc.)
I had an OTA update to go to i think D80120g, but my phone was already kitkat 4.4.2. I downloaded this update and it messed my phone up, I could not get on the play store and on Clash of Clans I had 2 accounts connected and I could not connect or switch between the two of them(usually to fix that I would go open up freedom and it would work) but i figured the update unrooted my phone. Root checker said I did not have root.
I have factory reset multiple times, and hard reset( which apparently didnt work) twice. I really need help and I regret rooting my phone because I know almost second to none about rooting phones and tweaking them.
So I appreciate anyone that helps me
2 days ago I tried to root my phone to get rid of some bloatware . I unlocked the bootloader through sonys offcial method, rooted using twrp , everything fine at this point, until I begin to install all my apps again and found out that Snapchat hates rooted phones couldnt login to snapchat. Fixed it by unrooting it through supersu, logging into snapchat, then reroot again. Afterwards I noticed I couldnt send any snaps but I could see posts and receive snaps. At this point I thought Snapchat servers were having issues, but the problem persisted longer than what I expected. So I decided to test my snapchat account on another phone (non-rooted) and it did work. It turns out that the actual problem was my phone and not snapchat. I unrooted my phone (again), logged into snapchat and it didnt work either.
Did a factory reset and the problem persisted. Luckily, it turns out that my sd card was causing the problem, snapchat wont work on my phone (rooted or non rooted) unless my sdcard is not inserted. Checked my sd card on my laptop for bad sectors, corrupted data, malware, blah blah, etc., my sd card is fine and works fine in other phones and in my laptop. The problem fixes as soon as I eject the sd card through settings menu, not even a reboot is required. Why is this happening? My phone is currently unrooted and I guess Im running the original rom or whatever since I havent loaded any custom roms, although when I tried to factory reset my phone I could see the blue twrp screen I saw when I rooted my phone for the first time. Is there anyway to fix this and keep my root access or at least fix it since all that crapware is gone?

Hello,
Snapchat is known to play not well with rooted/modified devices.
Please try flashing stock firmware fresh.

How do I do that? I'm new to rooting and flashing etc.
Hello all...I need a bit of help. I rooted and then un-rooter my previous phone with KingRoot. After removing it with the KR uninstall program, I would use multiple root checking apps, and they would all report that the phone was NOT rooted, but when I tried to update system files with WiFi update, it would error with a "Root has been detected, can not update device" message. I recently purchased a new phone with 6.0 and transferred my files and settings to the new phone and now am having the same problem with my new phone.
What file/files does the system check in order to make that determination??? Is it something I can remove or edit with out a complete wiping and re-installation of Android??? King Root does not offer a rooting for my current phone where I could install and then try a removal on this phone.
I was really hoping that with a new phone that I would be leaving that problem behind!
Thanks ahead
never mind....
Well, for what ever reason...I did one more hard reset and the problem solved itself. Now able to receive regular updates from BLU/Android. Go figure..
