My n1 was rooted for over 3 months. Yesterday I used to upgrade my device to FRF85b and everything is running properly. Then I try to use the app "market enabler" to buy apps from paid market, the app respond to me that my device was not rooted so cannot perform the market enabler function. Any clue on this? Thanks!!

I've upgraded to stock 2.2. I rooted with SuperOneClick and that worked fine. I wanted to install SGSTools so I downloaded it to my phone. I tried to install it using SuperManager but it came back and said what I expected, that my phone would not install apps that did not come from the market. So back to SuperOneClick to enable Non Market Apps. It fails. So, how can I do this?
I also tried to use the AIO Captivate Toolbox but that didn't work either. I could not find the apk on my phone anywhere and the app did not show up in my app tray. I had this on 2.1 as well.
Any advice would be appreciated. Mostly just trying to learn.
Did you try using super one click? There an option to add side loading with it.
Finally got the question answered. SuperOneClick finally worked. I rebootedd twice and was able to respond to the superuser request prompt. Successfully installed SGSTools using SuperManager.
So I rooted my Froyo Captivate today, I've never rooted a smartphone before, and I'm loving it. I got rid of all the AT&T garbage and to my surprise my phone actually seems somewhat snappier. I'm looking forward to using tethering and side-loading apps, but I have a newbie question about root access on the phone. Normally under Windows and Linux a user would not want to stay rooted all the time. Is that different on Android? Is it ok to just stay rooted all day long? So far what I've done is use Super One Click to root, installed Titanium Backup, removed the crap from AT&T, then unrooted the phone. Everything seems to be working beautifully except that Ti needs root.
How does everyone else handle this? Just root when you need to use Ti or some other app? I also deactivated the Market filter AT&T put on, so does that stick when not in root?
Thanks for the feedback.
You can stay rooted. Anything that needs root permissions will ask for it when it needs it.
The differance being that you don't have to open up a terminal and type su blah blah. You just hit ok when asked. OR NOT

leave root access there. it doesnt mean you are running everything as root
Hey guys, I'm definitely a novice in these matters, but this is the first time I've had a problem so I'd appreciate some help.
While my Droid was on FRG83D I rooted with SuperOneClick using rageagainstthecage. I had to install PdaNet to get it to work, but it did work for me. This morning I got the OTA update for FRG83G and downloaded and installed it just a few minutes ago.
I didn't unroot my phone before I did this.
Afterwards the two apps I use that require su won't work (Barnacle and ROM Manager for backups, I don't have a custom ROM flashed to my phone yet) so I ran SuperOneClick again, ran root using psneuter. Still didn't work so I unrooted using psneuter. Then I realized that I should probably unroot using rageagainstthecage and did so. So at this point (theoretically) my phone was unrooted. Then I ran root with rageagainstthecage again and my two apps still won't work.
Every time I rooted or unrooted using either method SuperOneClick worked seemingly perfectly.
So here's my question: What did I do wrong? And just as importantly, how do I fix it so I can have root access on my phone again?
*Edit* Well this is pretty embarrassing. I just rebooted my phone and tried Barnacle again, and the su acceptance box came up like it's supposed to. I suppose I'm back to being rooted. I think I'll leave this here, and if anyone has any constructive criticism of my (lack of) process or comments about why things acted the way they did and why it works now I'd like to hear it. I'm all about learning more about all of this.
Hey,
i have a really strange problem. i rooted my KFHD some time ago. everything worked fine, superuser, google playstore, es-fileexplorer with system and so on. some days ago i wanted to install the app kindlefree (posted here in forums). but when i opened the app it said, it would need a rooted device. root checker from the play store also says "no root". superuser lists two apps with full permissions: es-fileexplorer and sixaxxis (use ps3 controller for android). both apps work fine and with the file explorer i can go up to the system files of the KFHD.
Maybe this problem has something to do with the amazon update. systeminformation says im on 7.2.3_user_2330720
so my quastion is what has to done, to fully root my device again? is it only some sort of bug or do i need to do the whole root-process + installing vending.apk etc. again?...i dont hope so because the rest of my device works really great but is was a long process
Does anyone else the same problem? thank you guys
If you were updated then you will have to re root all over again.
I recommend turning off the ota updates after you do it all again.

I updated my Thrill to ICS from the LG site. It is not, nor has it ever been, rooted, but it keeps on getting detected a such. Ever since the update, Flixster refuses to play movies on it, claiming it is rooted. CinemaNow also will not play movies. It gives the code "TamperDetected", which I assume means it thinks the phone is rooted.
I have tried installing OTA-Rootkeeper from the android store. It comes up with the following status:
Superuser app installed: (can't see the checkbox, but there is a play store button there to install it, and play says it is not installed.)
Device rooted: No
Root permission granted: No
System supports root protection: Yes
Protected su copy available: No
Of course, since it's not rooted, the Temp. unroot button isn't there, so the app really isn't any help here. (Unless I root my device so I can make it look unrooted and then see if Flixster works... )
I did try resetting my device. That didn't help.
Is it just me, or is anyone else having this problem. And, more to the point, anyone know any work-arounds? Any idea why Flixster and CinemaNow might think it is rooted? What would an app typically look for to detect a rooted phone?
