Unrooting G3 - General Questions and Answers

I rooted my phone with stump root but i decided i didnt really need root access. I want to unroot to recieve OTA updates. I unrooted with SuperUser with the "full unroot" option. I installed a root checker to make sure and it said i didnt have root access. I tried to install the update but it told me that my device was suspected in rooting. I then ttried the method with ES File Explorer but i wasnt able to use root explorer and it wouldnt allow me to delete the busybox file. I dont have access to a PC, only mac, so i cant use LG PC Suite. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try restarting device then check for root ? Did you delete all root files and folders ?

[Q] My phone seems like its in some weird half root state i need hellp rooting back

I factory reset my rooted LG optimus net l45c and when the reset was finished, super user was still there but some root apps weren't working. Whenever I went into a root app, super user granted permissions, but the app wouldn't work. There are two root apps that I use that works: Link2SD and Root file explorer I use all the root features of those apps successfully. As for all other root apps I use, they don't work (AdFree, Busybox, and various other root apps don't work.)
So I went to Superuser to check my binary and it was out of date, so I tried to update my binary but here's what I got: updating sutools_okay!
Checking current install path /system/bin/su okay!
Downloading new binary... okay!
Gaining root access fail!
I can't gain root access I tried re rooting and unroot but I got a error like this: failed to chmod file: rootutility.
BTW I used unlock root to root my android 2.3.4 lg-l45c optimus net. So is there anyway I can fix this? I am also afraid of my phone bricking if I factory reset or if I ever get an OTA update. I want to do as little bricking as possible. I really want my AdFree back.

[Q] I have root but can not accept root access for new apps.

I rooted my phone back on ICS and when I updated to Jelly Bean, I used root keeper and restored the root. Voodoo rootkeeper says that I my device is rooted. My titanium backup shows that I have root and the program works perfectly Lightlow has root and works perfectly. The problem is that I can not grant root permissions to other applications. Superuser is installed, but shows outdated binaries.. I tried to update them but it says no root. Rootchecker also says that I do not have root. What I dont get is that the programs I already granted root access still work but I cant add more. Any ideas on what is going on? Thanks!

Did you root using Unikernel?

Su missing (no root access) on *unrootable mtk android

Hello. Good day.
Am having an infinix hot X507andriod phone. I once had full root access. But due to frequent switching off by itself and eventually stuck at boot, I had to return it to its manufacturer which robbed me of my root access.
Then, I used kingroot on Android which installed the kinguser. But the kinguser doesn't allow root access ( also checked it's settings).
Afterwards, I've been trying diff ways to root my phn to no avail. I used all the supported one-click rooting apps, also eroot, iroot, king root on PC. It was when connected to mtkdroid tool that I discovered that it was a su missing error. ( mtkdroid tool gives a yellow colour, so I think my phn is somehow rooted). Then, I ran through my phn with es file explorer and saw su at 2 diff locations; bin and xbin, both with 0.00kb size and non deletable.
Now, I shifted my attention to unrooting my device by deleting the kinguser but to no avail. And also mtkdroid tool also giving just root option( which gives su missing error when clicked). The kinguser has even turned to a system app and non deletable. I even tried 'replacing kinguser with superuser' method but no success. (Still su missing error). Note: I don't have any recovery image, so I couldn't flash SuperSU, or anything.
And any attempt to update binary through installed SuperSU will give an installation failed error.
HELP, please.
Thanks in advance.

root your device again with kingouser.. or kinguser
try kingoroot first and than install root uninstaller
that can remove system apps too so open the app and navigate to which app you want to delt n click uninstall..

root problems

Recently I rooted my Huawei T1-701u, using kinguser mobile. After sometime I read a thread about replacing kinguser with superuser through super sume. The replacement took place efficiently,but my google account worked no more more( so I tried es explorer, root explorer and root browser but none of them could delete the hosts or changed them). Then I installed kingo user and tried to unroot the phone but the process hasn't been successful, niether I can unroot properly nor delete kinguser or kingo user, now help me please.
