[Q] SuperSU Cannot change configuration

Hi, first post
I flashed my TMOBILE US [SGH-T999] SIII with root66 and all went well. verified with rootkeeper I'm indeed rooted. Problem is when I first configured superSU i checked hide from apps list (figured id still be able to get it in /system) So although it asks for permission and still fully functional I cannot open the app to change the configuration. There was some codes *#*#1234#*#* amongst others I thought would bring up the app, but because the sim is no longer registered to a network it just gives a network error.
This has been going on for a week and would really appreciate a solution. Going to google play doesn't show any options. just a picture. If i disable in manage apps i can then deactivate on google play, but it didn't help. Also re flashed rom and nothing changed.
Should be able to open the app somewhere on the phone right? use file explorer to delete some config file that will reset to default?

Hi, to open supersu through the dialpad, please enter the following:
*#*#1234#*#*
or
*#*#7873778#*#* which spells(*#*#SUPERSU#*#*)
If that didn't work, check if supersu is still installed by going to manage applications.

Yeah mentioned the codes in my post. my girlfriend has a deathgrip on the phone right now but i'm pretty sure the exact error was: Not registered on network. I also mentioned that superSU is indeed installed cause I can clear su's data, etc from the manage apps area. I use groove IP for phone calls and I've been putting the code in the phone settings not the groove voip app if that matters.

bumped after a few days of waiting patiently.

Hi i was having similar issues, did you try
*#234#* instead of *#*#234#*#* that worked for me before although my issue now is different.
i was getting an error and work around it by installing
System app remover (root) from play store
then went to apkmanger and click on reinstal Supersu, that bring back the icon
that did not solve my problem of the dialing code not working anymore, but it got me to super su app
hope it helps

[Q] Rooted phone and deleted google play NEED HELP!

I rooted my phone last night using poot and super user. I downloaded a modded google play from pirate bay thinking it was gonna give me free apps. i deleted the google play that was orginally on my phone now i can't get it back. i tried factory reset. i tried downloading a google play apk but everytime i open it after download is crashes. i want to unroot my phone but dont have a usb cord and dont have google play. what do i do?!?!?!

its ok
a lot of times roms do not have a google play apk but now here is what you can do .YOU can search the web ,and install google play 4.0.25 its the new one and it is downloadable as an apk file.JUST tipe downloadandroidrom in your browser and go to apk and then go to market, click on com.android.vending .If you have any problems installing it ,try use a file explorer.

First off, we dont support piracy on xda.
To solve your problem, download a play store in apk format from sites like androidpolice etc. and push it to /system/app with permissions of rw-r-r. You are done.

Ok. Install the app directly. Download another app called link2sd. Grant superuser access. Then open app window. Click on google play. Click on actions button. see options and click "make system app". It will make it system app automatically. Then reboot your phone. If it still FC, use fix permissions option from cwm recovery.

make sure that you also have GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.APK. AFAIK you need these two as well to get the play store app to work.

superuser says my binary is outdated. when i go to update it, it crashes saying it has stopped unexpectly. on link2sd all the options under actions is launch manage reinstall unistall. i tried manage and it just took me to application settings. i hope i didnt screw up my phone rooting it last night because i cant do anything on it. google play has got to where i can go in install an app but soon as i hit accept and download it crashes. i did a factory reset last night so poot and superuser are gone. i tried to redownload superuser just now and thats when it said my binary was outdated and when i try to update it, it crashes. is this fixable or is my phone screwed up lol. i really appreciate you helping me!!!

You can disable notifications from superuser app. Also you won't loose root if you factory reset your phone. Superuser app is set as system app when you root it. Also follow what justmpm said above.

You must install the Goggle play compatible with your Android version and your phone.
Please provide the phone model, Android version and if you have a custom recovery or not,

If you are still unable to install playstore apk, i will recommend downloading gapps for your phone model. Flash them from custom recovery using install zip. This should install your playstore. No clue if it can override the pre exisiting apps. Still learning on xda.

I don't think he has a curtom recovery set up. Flashing Gapps would overwrite existing ones, but most gapps packages are configured to abort the installation if some gapps already exist.

Try this app as an alternative
Have u tried downloading 1 mobile apk its like Google play store try it

He is already on root, and perhaps if there's nowhere the solution, ome simply can't live without playstore. I will advise full system wipe with data and installing a newer custom recovery and then new rom with new gapps.

Solution?
Any proper solution for this? Running on CM12.1.

Brother sorry we couldn't help you in this case because we don't know how to fix it . One thing you can do is that Google it and you will found some better response for sure

Dude, that is the easiest thing to fix, but if the OP doesn't tell us the phone model and version i wont even bother trying to fix it. OP is inactive anyways...

[Completed] Default download manager deleted

phone model : lava iris 402+
Android version : 4.2.2
my phone is ROOTED. few days back i make a backup of 'download manager' with ES FILE EXPLORE. then uninstall it. then I Reset my phone. but next time when I use play store I can't download or update any app. it just show 'downloading' and nothg happen.
I also try to reinstall download manager from that backup Apk. but it shows 'not installed'.
and my keyboard is also not working after the reset. it shows ' unfortunately keyboard has stop working'
I also try to find some solution on google. but couldn't find much. mostly tells me to install new ROM. that I don't know how to do.
Is there a way in which I don't have to install new ROM.
plz help me solve this problem.
Thanks.

Thank you for using XDA Assist. Unfortunately your device does not have a dedicated thread on XDA and there is very little information available. When you have deleted system apk's it's often necessary to flash the stock firmware for your device to get it working again. You could try Googling how to install stock firmware for your device.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Its okay.. Thanks anyway

Can't remove adware on freemeosp

Phone leagoo m5, fw latest official based on freemeos. Reflashed latest rom, installed only apps which i used long time without any ads and still grtting annoying full screen ad which can't be closed 10seconds. Phone rooted, but none app aaked/granted root permissions. My only though that it's caused by os itself. There are 2 weird apps: "settings"(can be deleted, but restores after some time. Not weird settinga app(definetely part of os}) shows translated name "nustatymai") other is "app store" can't even delete. Eg. In screenshot imgur dot com/a/btCfz ad appears from time to time even if none apps is opened

You probably used Kingroot or Kingoroot to root your device and it installed malware/adware apps your system partition. Flashing stock firmware probably doesn't wipe system during flashing instead of removing those apps and factory resetting won't work because the apps are in system and factory reset doesn't touch system, it only wipes the user partition.
If none of your apps are requesting root permission then I'd say you lost root and need to root the device again.
Try MalwareBytes app to remove those apps. If that doesn't work you need to get the device properly rooted and then look in your system/app or system/priv-app folder and delete those apps.

That can work...........
But.......
Assuming there are ROMs available and assuming they want to use a ROM. But what if they don't want TWRP or a custom ROM? What if they want to stay with what they have?

Looks like adware installed by root app. "Supersu" caused problems. Kaspersky/malwarebytes and few other random AV didn't found any issues, then i searched with "dr. Web" it found 4 threats i deleted them(with twrp, dr web not offered option to delete) and no more issues. Thanks for pointing to right direction.

Just remember, this is typical behaviour when using Chinese rooting apps and other Chinese softwares, pretty much all of them come with unwanted extras that hide themselves in your system. China is the hacker think tank of the world, they design software to invade devices and steal personal information.

wiped everything with all possible tools which twrp offers(even sdcard), then installed rom and twrp with sp flash tool(all tools took from xda or xda forum links) and adware still exist. searched google and it's not only mine problem a lot of people complains about same "triada" from stock firmware. found workaround and it fixed problem, but still need normal fix.
only few people complains about it... noone from xda don't use last firmware on leagoo m5?
i still not rooted phone, but adware already recreates it after each reboot antimalware apps only detects created bad app and deletes it, but none app can remove virus itself only it's consequences
workaround: create file /storage/emulated/0/.SDAndroid and chmod to 0600; and file /storage/emulated/0/.jm with same permssions. virus won't create folder with that name so he stops recreating it's files

Rootkit on an android? Now that's rare. If you tried every conventional method, I doubt anything is going to work. You can try disconnecting from the internet, check your running processes and services, kill them if found, scan with Malwarebytes and attempt to locate problematic files manually using explorer. There have to be some specific apps that are being installed, can you name them?
And full factory reset did not help you?
