I run chameleon os custom rom on Samsung infuse 4g. Superuser by Clockworkmod got binded/imbedded into rom. Was working fine, then out of nowhere got disabled under superuser settings and will not change back. I select apps only and all other choices but as soon as I select it, it switches back to disable. Google play no longer shows it as an app that I have downloaded so I can't get updates. I have tried installing it again both by just downloading it and by disabling it under app management and downloading it, but both ways when I open it tries to downloading binaries and fails. Same thing happens with any other superuser I try to download. I cannot get it to work. Please help. I no longer want chameleon as my rom because of too many issues with it constantly rebooting and internet only working sometimes. i want to try another rom but can't with superuser not working.

You mean to say you cannot boot into CWM recovery and flash a different ROM? Interesting. I have an HTC, and the steps to rooting it are in a different order... that after unlocking the bootloader, you install CWM, and then optionally root the stock ROM with the SuperUser package (those who don't do the last step are usually flashing a ROM instead of mucking around for another second with the stock OS).
SU shouldn't be needed for custom recovery. But maybe Chameleon does something weird like not give you a custom recovery you can boot into? If that's the case, you could pop the device into download mode and go back to stock with Odin, effectively starting from scratch.
still need help, thank you.
I am starting to believe more than before that the actual problem is that somehow my phone got unrooted. How do I set my phone in download mode and use Odin? I usually wipe the cache, install the rom, install gapps, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache. I have never flashed a rom before. Or even better what is the best way to root my phone again now that I am using chameleon? I believe if I can do that it will fix my problems and I can install cyanfox (the latest rom I have downloaded). Do I use super one click? That is what I think I used before but now that I am not using stock rom I don't know what to use.

If you are unable to get into ClockWorkMod recovery (hold Vol-Up+Vol-Dn keys while pressing Pwr button) and have it do anything (so your wipe, install, gapps, dalvik - that process would be called flashing). Then I would Odin back to stock.
For this, you would need to get into download mode. IIRC (just sold my Infuse), it is (with the device fully turned off) hold both volume buttons in while inserting the micro usb cable (that is subsequently inserted into your PC). The ODIN program comes with the download packages (hopefully), so extract the whole package, and run that.
Odin should pick up the phone in the first column as "COMX" (e.g. "COM5"). You are good to flash. To the right, there are PHONE and PDA buttons, click on each, and select the corresponding file (that was also in the package) for each (so PHONE will have something like PHONE.tgz.md5). Once both files are loaded, make sure re-partition is UN-checked, and press Start (or Go, or whatever the action word is). This will take a few minutes, but the COMX column should highlight green with "SUCCESS" in the end.
That's all there is to it. The reason why I'm shying away from SuperOneClick is that it was designed for stock gingerbread/froyo, so it has the potential of breaking something. Hope this helps.
EDIT:
Alternatively, you could try pushing su to the device with adb (depends on how you lost root):
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
... with this file (extracted).

new problem
I am now running cyanfox which runs android 4.4 and Google.process.gapps has stopped keeps popping up. To get rid of it I have to do a factory reset but after a few days it always comes back. I have Googled the problem and tried numerous things to try to fix it but everything only works temporary. What should I do besides get another phone? I can't afford that right now.

I wouldn;t suggest another phoen is things are working well genrally. The problem could lie in the GApps package or the ROM itself. I use the PA Gapps package. If you are having rouble with that one, try from a different date. Just wipe dlavik in between to prevent any nastyness.
If it still persists, try another ROM, like Carbon.
tried installing the new gapps
So far, so good but I won't know for sure for a few days. I'll keep you up to date. Thank you
what version of android is carbon?
Do you have the link for carbon rom for Samsung infuse 4g? And what version of android is it? My phone runs better with those gapps but I am still getting the same problems. I will give it a try but if carbon doesn't work I am definitely going to have to just get another phone. So far I'm. 0-2 on custom roms for this phone. I thought cyanfox would of worked cause I got it off of xda, which really makes me think this phone has some sort of hardware problem but carbon has been around longer. So maybe it will work better.
Carbon is on XDA as well too, and it is based on CM 11 / Android 4.4 Kitkat:

Hope this works for you... :fingers-crossed:
problems solved
It appears it was definitely a problem with the ROM. Phone has been operating 100% better. :victory: My cache needs to be cleared frequently and some minor problems with the Facebook back but when isn't there problems with Facebook lol. But as soon as I clean out the cache from my apps, everything is running like new again. I greatly appreciate your help. I can't thank you enough.
Was working great then more problems
Joel,
Carbon was running great for me but then all of a sudden android.process.acore has stopped kept popping up along with all sort of other things stopping then eventually GApps not working again. I have erased my contacts, Erased Media, unchecked all my Syncs, I have tried all sorts of other Gapps packages and even another ROM (cyanogen 11) and they work to begin with then the same problems keep coming back. Is it because I went from Gingerbread right to Kitkat? My phone hasn't worked for about a week now with me trying all different ways to fix it. Do I need to install Ice Cream Sandwich then Jellybean before going to Kitkat or do I just need to try even more GApps? I used to install new ROMs all the time but android has changed so much over the last couple years and when i had to get rid of my old phone and went back to my Infuse 4g the old ROM was just completely outdated and now I can't seem to get this right. The phone itself is still a great phone and I don't understand why I am having these issues. I factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install new ROM, install GApps, wipe cache again, and wipe dalvik again. I usually don't wipe the cache or the dalvik until after the ROM and GApps install but just lately have been doing the extra wipe just in-case because nothing else is working. But that has failed too. You have been a great help so far and I can't seem to fix this on my own, so again I turn to you for help. Please help me figure this out.

It's possible. I mentioned this before somewhere, but this could be the after-effect of a small /datadata partition, which having a separate partition is standard in a KitKat ROM (at least for this phone). When it fills up, there's no telling what happens.
Both BeanStalk and CM11 have /datadata partition alternatives (the separate partition has been abandoned) built in. You may want to try one of those:

Unfortunately I couldn't find something similar for Carbon.
Thank you!!!!!!
I hate to count my chickens before they're hatched but I truly believe that was the problem. Even Facebook works now. But I thought I had it fixed before then just under a week and it completely messed up and I couldn't even get it to work for a day after that. But it works now. I can't thank you enough. If you ever come across one for Carbon ROM please let me know. This is a good ROM but I liked Carbon better. Again, thank you Joel. :good::good:
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to bother you again Joel but I have a major problem again and I dont even know wht happenned. You have helped me through evrything so far and I couldn't be more thankful. There may be nothing you can do to help me, I don't know. I was using my phone as A Wifi Hotspot when out of know where as soon as i got on facebook on my tablet my phone rebooted on it's own into Clockworkmod recovery. when I reboot it, it goes right back into recovery, it wont read the internal sd card and it wont install any zip off any inserted sd card(it reads them but wont install anything, it always pops up with android guy on his back with a red X and a generic error). it lets me erase cache but won't erase delvik cache or format anything, the screen just flashes and it pops back a screen. I dont think the phone overheated because it wasnt hot to the touch at all. I was only using it as a wifi hotspot for about 30 minutes when it happenned. i had used it as a hotspot many times before with no problems and i dont know how it woud be a virus when i wasnt on any abnormal sites. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you can get into Download Mode, I would Odin back to stock. Are you AT&T or Rogers? There are a couple recent threads in this forum with download links, although people have been having difficulties with finding the AT&T variety.
Unfortunately, that's all I can recommend. Good luck.
we'll see how this works out
I just checked and it will go into download mode. So I guess I just need to find the AT&T thread of Oden and hopefully that works. I have never done it that way before but I read your previous response much earlier in this thread on how to do it and it sounds pretty simple so hopefully I can do it. If you can find a link to the at&t version before me it would definitely help but I will see what I can find.

I would recommend Option D for what you need, but AFAIK, the links on this page are dead.
If you go to the last page though, there is a link for Option C, which would work for your needs. Hope this helps.
I flashed Moar a couple months ago. Also added custom recovery. Just yesterday the infamous "warning camera failed" came on. I want to take my phone to sprint so I need to flash it back to stock. Please help!

Before you unroot, and take your device back to Sprint. Have you tried booting into Recovery, and clearing caches ? Did you do a clean install of MOAR ?
Also, just an FYI. Your post should've been made in Q/A [emoji6].

Yes I did clear cache, I was just a bit confused since I installed philz recovery I don't know if I need to uninstall that's or just unroot?
Yes I did a clean install MoAr was working fine up until a couple days ago when my camera stopped working
Had you installed any other tweaks, mods, or Xposed Modules prior to the issue ? Using Philz Recovery should have nothing to do with the camera issue. I would suggest force stopping the camera, and clear data in Applications manager. Then immediately boot into recovery , clear caches, and reboot. After the device fully boots, check to see if the camera is working correctly. My next step after that would be a fresh install ( Full wipe ) . Then let it settle in for a few hours without installing any apps. Check the camera to see if it's operating correctly. If it is install your apps one at a time checking the camera afterward to make sure that nothing interferes with the operation of the camera.
The last resort if the issue just does not get resolved would be to ODIN back to Stock. If the issue persists, then take the device in for service.

Idid a full wipe....then did a full wipe and installed the new version of MOAR and I am still having the same problem *sigh*
how would I go back to stock do I need to upload a different recovery, the changes I've made are philz and Moar, or do I just simply unroot and put stock firmware?
Hi bro, i need some help here, suddenly my GT2 (GSM) will auto reboot after every 15-60 minute. It was running fine for the past 10 month since have install cyanogenmod cm-10.1.3.
The weird part is, not only it reboot, it will do a rollback to a fix setting every time it reboot.
- Let say, as a normal you have many application install, many photo or file in your phone
How it happen, as a normal user, I went to uninstall any application via application manager or Delete some photo from my gallery. It show success deleted..... but soon after few minute my phone rebooted by itself. After this reboot i notice what i just delete/remove come back again. Seems like there is a restore being done.
I also try to reset to setting using phone manager, and it fail
I try to boot in to recover mode, such as
clear data/factory reset
clear cache
go to advanced>wipr dalvic
Install cyanogenmod cm-10.1.3, cyanogenmod cm-10.1.2 or even cyanogenmod cm-10.1.1
I have try clear data/factory reset, clear cache, go to advanced>wipr dalvic
or any other combine setting i can think of.... it fail too
once i reboot my phone, it still went back to this Fix Setting, every thing just come back.....
even i select install new OS
Any ideas what happen?
Thanks

Read about these issues from various thread, this is happened due to broken emmc. The only step will have to replace it.
If someone can developed a kernel to prevent this issue which is happen to omap4 device
Unfortunately most kernel, maybe all current kernel, did not apply this.

Till now, my phone still stay the same, it will reboot after sometime. I even try to flash it with other ROMS and even update my phone with the latest CWM or PhilZ, i even get the message of update success/status ok. But after a reboot, my phone still went back/revert to that same "OLD" setting with every thing still there. Restore to factory still fail, look like my phone is as good as a brick phone...
Anyone know of a way to resolve it?
So, I installed a CyanogenMod Nightly and started to get a "System UI has stopped" error message , so I proceeded to do everything possible to fix it like wipe cache and data etc. I tried to side-load and push a newer nightly to TWRP but it would comeback with device not found (or connected) so in a last hurrah I went back into recovery and did a Advance Wipe of everything including System ( I know, I want to punch myself right about now). So after wiping System now I am stuck because I have a NEXUS 5 and no other way to flash a ROM, so did I royally just screwed myself or is there a solution to this? Please I will truly appreciated if anyone could help me with this.
I most clarify that ABD and Fastboot where working fine (before the last update I did). And also I was using Cyanogenmod Nightly CAF.

I recently upgraded my phone from 4.4.4 to the latest OTA. It was working fine for a while but it crashed, rebooted and keeps (re)optimizing the apps. It'll get stuck on some of them for a long time and might make it through, or I hard reboot it and it does it all over. Whenever it does make it through, it says "starting apps" and then reboots and does it all over again.
I've cleared the cache multiple times and restored the stock recovery, but still not working. Does anyone else have any other suggestions that I could try??
Also I read somewhere that there was a zip I could possibly flash to use all the cores, as lollipop only uses one during this process? Does anyone know where that is?
Thanks.

To make things clearer. Previous what ROM were you on? After your proclaimed (OTA), what was the ROM suppose to be?
I went from the Oneplus One CM 4.4.4 to the CM 5.1 OTA. Not sure why you're don't believe me..
I think I might have bad memory or flash or something at this point..
So since yesterday I've tried using the tutorials here to flash stock Kitkat with the same errors happening. When it boots up, I get a done of crashes on things like gapps and process.acore. I also tried flashing the stock Lollipop; both using the non fastboot and fastboot way. Every time wiping everything with all the same results. The only rom I've had some slight uptime with has been slimrom without gapps as there's not much running there. Once I add the gapps package to it, processes start crashing again.
Does anyone know of a memory/cpu/flash test I could try, or any other suggestions? Thank you.
