I did the update just now and thought everything went well. This is my first time. Someone else put infused 2.1.0 on phone and everything that goes along with that. I followed the directions in beginning of post to manually do the update. Now all my root apps are telling me i'm not rooted. I rebooted, took battery out and back in. I have read entire Infused post and no one has had this issue? Before i started i went into ROM manager and made a back up first.
Not sure what to do now??
R you doweling of a OTA update or rom update I'm assuming rom. Is your supper user still available in your app drawer if so go into the setting and make sure its on. If not I recommended unbrick to stock and re-flash make you directions are followed to the T

Can i restore the backup i did before the update? Will that take me back to 2.1.0 where all was well?
Just do a reboot, all your app will work after that

I did reboot. I have NO ROOT after this update but everything else is fine. All apps are there...but my root apps say i don't hve root. I d/l root checker from mkt and it says it;'s there but the binary isn't up to date or installed incorrectly. within SU i tried updating the binary and it fails.????

Uninstall the update

ok. i uninstalled the update to SU. rebooted. all Root apps still don't work and say i'm not rooted. NOW though. SU doesn't even come on and say denied. ....
Rooted just means you have the su app and can give su permissions to apps. If apps are asking for su permissions and not getting them it's the same as not being rooted as far as the app is concerned. Go into you super user app and see what has permissions and what doesn't, try to reset the settings.
update 2.1.0-2.2.3 LOST ROOT???
Just a recap...i was rooted running infused 2.1.0 and had and used rooted apps. I did the update 2.1.0-2.2.3 infused update then all of a sudden i couldn't get into titanium backup or any of my rooted apps. every time i open one SU denies it. I d/l root checker from mkt and it finds SU 3.0 on phone but says im either not rooted correctly or not at all. it gives me a log but i can't make heads or tails of it..so , if someone could I can PM you the log. I checked my SU permisions/settings...it should work...doesn't ands won't allow a thing. How did I lose ROOT? I followed the manual instructions in post.
All of this is related to me updating to 2.2.3 infused ROM. however, i have read the eintire forum front to back twice and no one has lost root because of the update...I even tried installing busybox but it fails because it says i am NOT rooted. I uninstalled the update to SU 3.0..that didn't work.
GTG-- I PM'd you days ago asking for your input on the upgrade but didn't hear back...upgrade done...issue...lost root....any ideas??
upgrade infused 2.1.0-2.2.3
Anyone out there with an idea? I haven't heard of anyone losing root having done this upgrade. Could i possibly still be rooted but maybe a setting got messed up somewhere? a file moved??
Still looking for answers...thanks
I have been through this many times before, you can do two usually the root access comes back after a reboot, since it didn't for you here are couple things you should consider to do
1) uninstall superuser than download again from market. Or
1) flash the rom again from scratch

well, since SU came from root and is a system app and apprently i am not rooted so i can not remove a system app I can uninstall the SU upgrade i did from mkt...which i did and rebooted, no luck. are you or anyone familiar with the "root checker" app? i can send a log if anyone can make sense out of it.
maruf010 i earlier post i said this is the first time i have tried anything like this with my phone ...i had soneone else root and install infused 2.1.0...i only attempeted the upgrade so...wonder if you can PM me and if you can maybe walk me through your second option?
I'm running out of ideas bro, I consider my self a "Rom flashing junky " flashing from one rom to another since my first captivate! let's do this again step by step, hoping this time it'll work..... make sure to transfer "titanium backup " folder to your computer before doing this. You can use it back later.
1) run gtg's back to stock using Odin
2) root the phone using super one click
3) drop all three the the new rom(2.1.0),
update v2.2.3, and the community kernel
4) download sgs kernel flasher from market
5) flash the community kernel, wait about 10 min let it do its thing till your phone comes back to live
5) power off the phone
6) using 3 button combo go to RED clockworkmod
7) install zip from SD card (flash the actual rom 2.1.0)
8) flash the update ( from 2.1.0 to v2.2.3)
8) finally do a wipe/factory reset
9) install titanium backup from market
10) restore your "missing app with data" only.
I know you did everything what i just said but my suggestion is to you ,do this again.

upgrade 2.1.0-2.2.3 LOST ROOT
Well, lesson to all. make a back up no matter what you do. Shouldn't of had to with an update but....since i did do a back up ..I AM BACK to 2.1.0 where i guess the saying is true...if it aint broke don't fix it. all is well..root back!. If I try going back to 2.2.3 i will do full install.
Thanks to everyone who had an opinion. weirdest thing ever...still bugs me why the ONLY this wrong with the upgrade was i seemingly lost root.
Glad u found a fix bro!
upgrade 2.1.0-2.2.3-LOST ROOT
Thanks!!! I'm all happy again. If anyone else has this issue...i really do beleive it is SU. Look at it on the mkt..since the 3.0 upgrade there have been many issues. I uninstalled the 3.0 SU upgrade and now i'm back to 2.6.3.1 BUT my binary is 3.0. I have yet to trythe infused upgrade again...IF (and when) i do it may not work because of my binary BUT all is well back on unfused 2.1.0!! No way to uninstall binary upgrade to SU i guess.
IF IT AINT BROKE--DON'T FIX IT..YEAH RIGHT ! LIKE WE ALL WON'T KEEP ROMMING!
upgraded infused 2.1.0-2.2.3 lost root
I am still having this issue when trying to upgrade infused from 2.1.0-2.2.3!!! Can someone answer this? The upgrade goes fine but then SU thinks im not rooted and then i can not restore any back ups cause titanium won't work. I haven't tried full zip only because i do not want to have to fetch all my apps again...zzz. I t looks like a lot of people have moved on to MIUI but i want to conquer this first..hahha
NOw, in the CWM instructions it says if you have a voodoo folder on your sd card delete it..well, that is for first time install....if i am trying the upgrade should i still delete the voodoo folder on my sd card? then move on to steop 7?? I reallly doi not want to delete something i may need. Inside that folder it is a log folder but in that log folder there are some CWM-recoveries..???
oh, and not sure if this matters all all but whn flashing upgrades or full ROM does it matter what you have your file system mounted as??
Anyone out there?? I just tried the update again and same thing...SU won't work...tried going into CWM and , download rom, super user, and i d/l SU from ther but then it says press ok to boot into recovery and finish unstalling...i press ok and nothing happens. I manually go into recovery...then what? Where did the download go and how do i finish installing SU??
PLEASE anyone...also, there is an option in recovery to "apply the update" Never used that one before...i just install from SD then pick the update...do i have to "apply update" after install then reboot?
Since my phone is rooted, the OTA update notification is on my phone. The first time it came, I tried to perform the update not knowing it would fail since it won't work on rooted phones.
It's not worth the hassle to me to 1: return the phone to stock, perform the update, and re-root the phone, or even not re-root the phone, or 2: load the rooted updated here.
I just want the OTA update to go away, keeping the phone like it is for now.
The notification is persistent through a restart, and I don't see a way to clear it. It's been like this for a few days now.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
In the same boat, would love to know if there's a way to get rid of this daily annoyance.
Go to the Android store and download NoBloat free(it has a Android holding an AK)...then go to system apps and look for the update notifier which is syncmldm2.apk, select it, then choose disable only...and viola! Its gone!

You could also freeze Device Management 2.0 with Titanium Backup.

I'm probably missing it, but I don't see Device Management 2.0 in the list, even if I filter all by name.
Do you mean Download manager 2.3.6?
Are you on stock and rooted? I was able to install the update on stock and rooted from kies. I did have to reroot and uninstall bloat ware again but everything else stayed in tact.

Yeah, stock rooted. Obviously I'm lazy with this, but I don't want to mess with Kies either. I'd have to a: reload it, install kies, get it working, load the update, re-root the phone, and *THEN* reconfigure/reinstall all my apps and settings.
Sorry, but I just want the notification icon to go away!
The first app that was mentioned, doesn't work either, nothing is listed as was described. There was one or two things similar, but not the same.
syncmldm2.apk is listed under Titanium as "Software update v3.1201.4.2". If removing that doesn't get rid of the notification, I believe wssyncmlnps.apk is also related to software updates. Remember to "nand you shizz" and titanium backup before removing either as it may cause instability (although it may not). I believe I removed the wssyncmlnps.apk or something similar on my Exhibit with little consequence- probably since they never intended on updating that thing...
I had that icon, I tried to install the update a few times (failed due to root) after a few failed attempts the icon gave up and went away.

All of my apps and settings stayed intact after the update over kies. I just had to reroot and uninstall the bloatware again.
The only way for you to get rid of the notification would be to update via Kies Software. Doesn't work via OTA when you are rooted, regardless if you're running the stock firmware. I just updated the firmware now with Kies, but oddly enough, the notification was still there! I clicked it and updated OTA, and it worked because the phone lost root upon the update via Kies. So yes, I had to update my device twice..
Well, time to re-root and uninstall bloatware.
EDIT: Well, upon restarting device, I am experiencing a lot of force closing issues. I reinstalled ClockworkMod Recovery and tried fixing permissions, but that didn't seem to work. Anyone have any ideas or fixes? Maybe I should reinstall my apps again.. >_>
Most likely you will need to wipe your phone and start fresh.

Seems like it, thanks for input.. I'm going to backup my apk's and data, and everything using MyBackup Pro, so I can speed up the whole process. Hopefully everything turns out good. Oh, one question, when upgrading to official stock ROM releases, you always have to wipe if your rooted?? If so, I never knew that..
EDIT: omg backup app not working! Help! I refuse to wipe if I can't backup my apps!
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda-developers app
I wouldn't think so, but there is always the chance an app incompatibly with an upgrade can occur and muck it all up.
Have you tried using Titanium?
Ah, I see.
Titanium seems very popular.. I've never used it before. I guess I'll try it. If all else fails, I do have a Nandroid from yesterday.
EDIT: okay, everything is restored and back to normal. Thanks.

Mine went away today, without doing anything.
If only real problems would go away if you ignored them long enough.
Hi, I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 running stock JB 4.1.1 at the moment but I want to root it...again. I did it once before and thought I was going to have to send it in for other reasons but I didn't and now I am on the basic, stock firmware. My question today is, can I effectively root and then if needed, unroot and return to stock firmware WITHOUT losing all of my apps and settings. I know making backups is an option, and I do constantly backup my phone, but isn't there a way out there to unroot WITHOUT losing all of our data, apps, settings, etc.? Thank you for any response and help.

I don't believe so, I think in order for either the rooting or un rooting process, the phone will be wiped either way. Google services of course will save your app download history and some of your settings but will be wiped until you log into Google account. Hope this helps.
If u have supersu as the root application in the settings is a full unroot option. Click on that and reboot your phone and you are now uprooted without wiping any data. If u have superuser app then I don't know if that is there or not. I'm not familiar with superuser.

Can I uninstall Superuser to install Supersu so I can permanently unroot without loosing data?
Yes I'm sure you could. Just make sure that the superuser is completely gone from the /system partition before u uproot with supersu.

I've been deferring the latest OTA (from end of June) waiting to see on here if people were able to keep root via VooDoo RootKeeper method. But alas I have not seen any post anywhere that specifically states they've done it so finally posting.
I'm all stock, just rooted w/SU. Still have all the bloatware crap so shouldn't have any problems updating - just looking for confirmation that I can use VooDoo and get root back after the update with no problem. If anyone has tried it and can share your success/failure I'd appreciate it.
I kept root with su survival mode. Straight up did the ota.

OTA Rootkeeper worked for me. I was also stock, rooted, with all the bloat intact. Just backup root, temp unroot, take the update, then restore root. Been a couple weeks and I've had zero issues.

There's an app that won't work for me on a rooted phone so i tried to disable root in SU but it still doesnt work. My question is, if I full unroot from SU, will it delete anything? Can I just reroot - unroot - reroot - etc... from nexus toolkit without having issue?
I also have xposed installed with gravity and gel. if I unroot, will the changes I've made stick without root?
The only time I actually need root is when i make backups from titanium. Dont flash much and I have xposed setup where I like it so going unroot isnt a big deal. I just want to make sure unrooting and rerooting won't effect my phones setup/files.

You're good, rooting and unrooting won't hurt anything...

well full unroot from SU didn't work. it still thinks I'm rooted. any ideas. btw the game is mlb perfect inning. hoping i dont have to install the stock image and keep my setup. no idea what it could be. I also tried rootcloak from xposed and that didnt work.
Reboot?

no idea what it could be. tried it on another phone. complete reset with only twrp on stock rom and it doesnt work. only thing it could be is that is recognizes that its unlocked phone, twrp or a modified stock rom. #%($&^(
