Root - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to have a froyo root zip without superuser.apk
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

It is possible, but why would you want to do that? The superuser app prevents apps from gaining root access without any prompt from the user. If you didn't have it root apps would have free reign over your device...
EDIT: Oh and next time post questions in the Q&A, you will avoid snarky replies that way

Ok thanks the only reason is I like thing to look stock with root access like the black twitter and Facebook widget and I usually remove once I have root

Also try VISIONary from the Market and let us know if that works on the N1 2.2.1. I have a hunch it might, but I'm already rooted.

No. SuperOneClick, or one of the other options...

I just confirmed myself, VISIONary from the Market roots 2.2.1 on-device. Have fun!
Is root with VISIONary permanent, or do you have to run it every time the phone is rebooted?
Try it, and report back...

Seems like r10 VISIONary (currently on the market) perm-roots the N1. At least I get "already rooted" whenever I run it even after storage wipe and reboot. I personally wanted only temp-root.
Please don't spam threads. There is already a Superuser zip file from ChainsDD which is quite well-used and well-documented. And this thread was from over a year ago and was about a completely different topic.

Superuser app is installed as a part of the rooting process. YOU NEED THIS APP. All other applications that need root access like Titanium, they are gaining root access through superuser. ( You will need to confirm if you want the app to gain access ). If you have superuser installed meaning that your device is ROOTED

If you want to remove super user, than why did you root your phone...?
You need super user for apps that require root

Actually, as I understand, superuser app is installed even if you do a temp root like via z4root
That said, i also am unclear as to it real function

Quick and easy root check?

Hi guys. Just followed the guide on how to root LQ2 and all went well I think. Whats the quickest and easiest way to check that I have root? Super user is installed and opens.

Download a app that requires root and see if it can get root access

Just look if you have "Superuser" or "Super SU" installed.
You can download titanium backup for example and check if it requests root access. You can also try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck
Guys thanks for quick reply. I downloaded root explorer and it asked for access. This was a bit of a daft thread but I had a total mind blank on easiest way to check.it.

You should be able to paste a file to the system folder if your note has root. Use a program like ES file explorer to enable root and write on the system folder.
This is the one thing I am having a problem with actualy. Trying to move the S3 contacts into system folder but get failed message. Any idea?

Just took the plunge

Hey just bought my wife a note 3 for Christmas and it is my intentions to allow all updates and then root with kingo. Root is required due to the need for tethering.
Next question is there any reason why I should not update and if so which one is desired. I do like having an Odin file... if I don't want to update what app should I freeze? It appears mj1 is what I want but what are the differences?
last question after I install kingos su can/should I attempt to install a different superuser app and then should I uninstall the kingo su? From what I can tell I really just need to install busybox.
Thanks a note 3 noob.

If you get rid of the Kingo SU you will have no way to unroot if you need to. As the Jingo SU has the unroot process built in to it..
Use foxi app if u don't want to root your phone.

I 537, S4 Active

I'm new here but I do have a background in PC IT. Try not to be too hard on me if I ask stupid questions
I was checking out a thread on the AT&T Community forums and many are complaining about not being able to remove unwanted apps. Is there a simple way to remove them? Also what advantages will I gain from rooting my phone?
Thanks,
Danny

Rooting your device will give you permissions to the System. So for example, if you want to delete unwanted apps, root your device and install a file explorer and go to /system/app . You can do much more if you root your phone and install different applications.
Root alone does nothing I guess.

I'm pretty sure there is a proper galaxy S4 active forum. I don't have a link cause I don't need to go there.

Root access us kind of like having administrative privileges on a PC. You can install, uninstall, delete files . . whatever. The bootloader is kind of like the master boot record. Even with admin rights, some things are very difficult.

Yes you can. I did. Just search for root i537 4.3. After that use root explorer or any other file manager (root) and go to system/apps folder. Be careful
