Hi, I've been messing with android phones for a while now, and I've seen a couple things, one of which being temporary root for the MT4G. I have a NS, and I don't want permanent root (not for a little while anyways), but there are a few applications, like the honeycomb music player that I've come to love, that need root to install.
So I was wondering if anyone knew any ways to temporarily root a Nexus S. I just want temp root so that I could replace the stock music player and a few other basics. (I assume that when I reboot and lose root then I would still be able to use them)
Any help?
Thanks
No, theres so such thing as a temporary root for Nexus S and I don't see a reason for this.
For the MT4G / G2, it wasn't created to make a temporary root.
The root is now permanent, it wasn't permanent because when you reboot you would lose access to root. because of HTC's method.
I see a reason
That is to be able to back everything up then unlock boot loader and root (since it wipes eveerything)
I have the ZTE Warp Sequent N861 that I want to root for memory swapping. I tried using DoomLoRD's ICS root, and SRS root for android. Some of the root checker apps on google play say my phone is rooted, some say that it isn't. Any of the programs that need SU permission are not working, saying that there is either no root, or no superuser permissions. I'm not sure exactly what the problem. I reset my phone back to factory restore but the su program is still there and now I don't know what to do. Any help at all would be appreciated, I can't seem to figure this out. Thanks!
So this is the story and I myself cannot believe how it all happened either. So, I have an Alcatel One Touch Fierce 2. Got it almost to the day it was released. Not a bad phone at all despite all I am about to say. So, it came with a locked bootloader so not an easy root to acquire. After researching, I found a link on XDA about how to root it. It's a very unorthodox exploit and I won't get into it but will leave the link if you want to read about it. So, I used the root method which BTW is with kingroot...but not only kingroot, Antutu is needed as well. Anyway, after a dozen or so attempts, I achieved root access. Needless to say, I was happy. So, I installed Titanium, Xposed Framework, lucky patcher and so on. Well, this is where it gets complicated. Somehow, not really sure, perhaps a conflict with an app I had caused my root go fail....BUT KingUser AND SuperSU were still installed . Root checker told me my device is not properly rooted. Then I tried everything...I mean everything. Factory Reset it well, by now...I'd say 100 times. No good. KingUser and SuperSU still there and no root access. It gets stranger. Some apps I have such as Aptoide will tell me my device IS rooted and some, well...most say it is not. I cannot regain root by any method now because of those installed apps that will not uninstall. And I cannot delete them because my phone SHOULD be rooted with them installed. So that's it for the most part. If ANYONE has a solution, you will win the prize. Trust me, I would be not only grateful but extremely amazed. I have spend I'm sure hundreds of hours doing everything I know and more to repair and....NOTHING. Please HELP!!

Thread closed.
I happened to get temp root with kingroot and unfortunately it gets highly unstable as time passes...
Any way I can use this to get a stable permanent root or unlock the bootloader?
Any ideas would help as I have been searching google like crazy since I found out it gave temp root.
I do get access to data and system when in root browser with ES File browser but I doubt changes will stick...
I was browsing the threads in the development section and someone had said there was a temp one which confused me because I thought rooting was a 1 and done type of thing. Is the temp root a thing on the G920V? I really just need to make a thing or 2 system files and if possible get rid of the bloatware. Are either of these possible with a temp root when it goes back to normal?
