[Q] applied GB update.zip to rooted FRG83G. any danger?

Hi all,
In order to update to the latest GB on my Nexus One, I flashed the latest FRG83G stock and rooted it to restore the stock recovery image.
I forgot to unroot and applied the update.zip in the stock recovery. Everything went smoothly and I still have the Superuser icon in my app drawer.
Is this going to cause any problem in the future or does this just mean have a rooted GB now??
Thanks

You pretty much definitely lost root, it's just that the app that managed root access is still there. Try "su" in terminal emulator or adb shell and it should say "access denied".

It probably means you have an unrooted rom with superuser installed, so really no harm there. You'll have to get you're phone rooted again in some way though if that is your intention.

i've definitely lost root like you said. it says access denied when i 'su' in the adb shell.
does it matter if i uninstall the app that managed root now? i'm afraid it might cause problems in the future if i tried to root it later. or is it ok to just leave it there?
thanks

You can't uninstall it without root. But leaving it there doesn't hurt anything. If you want, just root again.

[Q] Issues with the LG Esteem Exploit

I've been viewing these forums for quite sometime just never posted before. I was one of the people with the LG Revolution that lost the Super One Click Root when the OOA Update hit over the summer.
I have SU still installed and its been updated even though I can not gain root access and since I do not have root access I am unable to uninstall it. I have tried the One Click Root Tool for the LG Esteem after upgrading to GB. It say's that its completed but Root Check denies the fact it is rooted.
I tried Super One Click and it states the device is in fact rooted but when I try to use any root access apps it states "Unable to write". Any ideas on why it still wont allow the root to edit the read/write access for my device?
Thank you,
Mike

hey :9 I'm having the same issue. Heres to hoping someone figures it out

I'm from the Esteem side and some people were having the same problem after the superuser unroot fiasco and people couldn't re-root with the original one click because it did not clear the old su. Check over on Android forums/Esteem/All things root section. It was fixed by adding a few command lines to the script to clear the old su and give you the new su and binaries. HTH

Ty this worked wonders! I found it rather fast. Only problem with this guys batch is the fact you have to manually reboot your device for it to work. After I rebooted my apps were asking for SU access!
Here is a link for anyone else suffering from the unable to root because of SU already locked on your device.
androidforums.com/esteem-all-things-root/435750-one-click-root-updated-final-w-superuser-3-0-6-binary-3-0-3-download.html
Just remember after you've run the batch file to unplug your device and reboot.

[Q] Step by Step for Retaining Root - ICS to JB?

Hey all!
I have a 4.0.4 Atrix HD that I have rooted with OTA Rootkeeper and am ultimately looking to install safestrap and Joker ROM on to. To do this, I need to update to JB but need to retain root. I have read every step by step of the process I can find and they all vary slightly so I am looking for the most updated version of this step by step. Some of them have mentioned copying su over to system from data. Some have said simply update SU and the bin. Others have said to unroot using OTA Rootkeeper before updating SU.
This is the most detailed thread yet however at the top, he mentions only needing to update SU and its bin. Is that in addition to copying over APK to system from data?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995207
So what I understand thus far is this:
1. Root
2. Update SuperUser through Play Store
3. Update SU bin through SuperUser app
4. Install OTA Rootkeeper, root, unroot, reroot through OTA RK
5. Install OTA JB from ATT
6. Reroot through OTA Rootkeeper
7. Done!
Is this correct and the most up-to-date process? Are there any steps I am missing? I just want to make sure to get this right as we are locked out of root on JB.
Thanks!

Your correct. Just make sure su and voodoo are up to date

Did it and it worked great! Thanks for the help

You're right. And once you regain root from OTA RK. I recommend installing superSU as your root app.

Didn't Work
I tried this and it didn't work. When I download root checker some actually say that I have root access when other say the complete opposite. Any ideas on what's happening?

I had to root and un root a couple of times in it's rootkeeper before it stuck. Installed Safestrap which requires root so I know it worked.

Trouble Rooting my Note 4

Hey everyone. I am not new at rooting phones but this appears to be the one phone that is giving me issues.
My note 4 is telus, was n910w
installed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/rom-vision-x-n4-intl-t2943448
working beautifully thus far but I cant seem to root....
I have tripped KNOX 5 times so far trying to do it, each time it appears my phone is not rooted as titanium cannot verify SU, and aswell I have a root checker which tells me it is not rooted.
I have tried several versions of ODIN, and cf auto root n910t, AND V.
Do I maybe have to reinstall my rom? Or is there something I am missing because this is frustrating me....
Is there something I am doing wrong? Superuser IS on my phone, but its not doing anything but being there.... Please any kind of help would be appreciated as I am stumped.

I'm not sure what rom you are running but I do know there were some issues with su and lollipop in the beginning that required you to go into superuser app setting 's and change from prompt for root to allow all requests. For some reason it wouldn't prompt for root for root apps. But if you changed it it would auto.atically allow root apps root access

This worked, I am a dummy lol
Thanks alot!

Glad I could help

Glad you got it worked out but note that you can only ever trip Knox once. Once it's tripped it's tripped, so don't worry about it.

I had lost root after flashing the PopRocks ROM. Couldn't figure it out and stumbled across this post. Now it works perfectly. Thanks! :good:

I have a rooted Sony xperia z1. By mistake, I had deleted the king root app. And now

Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app

Have you checked via root checker that you still have root?
I'm pretty sure kingroot is a manager like app similar to supersu so I'm not sure if you'll still be able to grant superuser access to apps that will request it.
You could try reinstalling the apk and it might detect root and work again but if it wants you to root your phone again then just leave it.
There is a method to replace replace kingroot with supersu but if can't grant superuser access then it won't work.
Search Google for how to replace kingroot with supersu.
There is a webpage and video by w0lfdroid
This is the method I used to root my xperia Z1 running 5.1.1
You are in risk of bricking your phone if you are not careful.
If terminal emulator doesn't ask for superuser access then you might need to wait till someone has an answer because the only one I could suggest for that situation is to try and unroot your phone and start again.
Also what do you mean by "and now"
