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

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.
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 !!
Q] Root "disabled" itself!? (Rooted phone that is no longer allowing root access)
Anyone here with a modded Galaxy S3 phone (or any) - that is rooted - have it just seemingly act as if it is no longer rooted? or unjustly denying root access for no apparent reason....
Have been rooted since purchase and have never seen or had any issue with this..have flashed custom recovery and rom's hundreds of times...no problems...currently using Task's latest KK 4.4.4 rom and had no issues from beginning...
It comes with SuperUser...i do usually install SuperSU instead but hadn't tried yet...it was fine and apps that needed root appeared ok..even SuperUser has three or four listed apps in the "allow" section...but all of a sudden I can't seem to give root access to anything else now..
First noticed the other day when trying to sideload an apk..couldn't...tried to do it manually by just copying it to system/apps folder and that's when the first message came up saying "it appears your device may not be rooted"...quite odd I thought.. i then tried to install SuperSU and it when SuperUser popped up to give it allowable root access it would only timeout and say denied...i then tried a bunch of other apps that require root and they would all just get denied by SuperUser...
Anyone seen this before or know what causes this and/or how to fix?
THanks for any help or suggestions
ps.. i'm no noob and have been doing this a long time and have rooted/modded dozens of phones, hundreds of times...but this issue is a new one for me.. IF i have to completely wipe and even go back to stock image and then start over to re-root and re-mod... I will and can do so easily..but that would be last resort if necessary...thanks!

i have no explanation for what happened, actually never heard it happen before.
why not try to re-root and see what happens. if that doesn't work, i would think your only option would be to flash it clean and start over.
Reroot. Or unroot then reroot.
yeah i was thinking that might have to be done.. was hoping not and that this was some sort of known or fixable issue...but may have no choice..will wait another couple days to see if i find anything and do it if no other option..

well, i haven't seen any root methods that require wiping the phone, so why wait to try re-rooting?
I would try a new busybox with kinguser and reroot.
Hello people from xda! i need your help... before explaining my current problem, i will describe each step i did before ending here
First, my phone was just crashing and lagging every time. by crashing, i mean aplications like the twlauncher closing, or the play store getting stuck. Software, gingerbread android, i cant remember the version but i think it was 2.3.5 or something like that. This was 2 days ago.
After suffering like... 3 hours (yeah... im pretty impatient :silly i decided to uninstall some apps. Yes, my phone was rooted from beforehand. After uninstalling a lot of stuff, i realize that i unninstalled accidentally the cloak app, and i need it to get up for college and, pretty much, everything, so i decided to try and reinstall it. The stupid mylself of that moment could'nt think of factory reseting, so i used KIES to update the phone. Now, after updating it, i recovered the cloak, but also my phone wasnt rooted. so... i spent a lot of time with different apps in the play store to root my phone again, until i stood with the clockwork mode (is it spelled that way? im not really good at english, im from argentina ) with it, i was able to root my phone (or with some actualization plus it, now i cant remember to be fair). But, yet again, the crashes went worst and worst. So, then, i remembered i can factory reset, and i did. After the factory reset, my phone was again rooted (i dont know why, but the root app "superuser" came with the phone) and i was able to "kinda" work. all the stuff that was crashing was still there, plus i couldnt download anything from the play store because a combination of both the crashes and play services being too much expensives space wise. after that, i founded that there was some way of, by using an app which i cant remember its name, if i had a splitted SD card, i could force apps from the phone into it. theres when the stuff went bad, and my phone got stuck in recovery mode. i could'nt boot, nor factory reset. all of this was yesterday, and today i spent the whole day installing (or atleast trying to install) firmware via odin. when i finally get a pack of boot, csc, pda and modem zips that were all from the same firmware, i installed them in my phone, and after that... white screen! i can hear the logo when i boot, but i cant do anything. the recovery mode is not showing, neither the download one. however, i know they work, as i tried installing the same pack again changing a usb port, and by just following by memory the steps i could get myself into download mode. now, i dont know what to do! please help me yeah, im an idiot too. anyways, thanks for reading at least, and sorry for bad english
i forgot to add the exact model from my phone. it is a GT-S5367 with a single slot for sd card, and as it has a tv thing
Hi there,

Good luck
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..
