After I showed my rooted NC to my brother he had to have one. He went out the day after xmas and bought one, handed it to me and asked me to work my stuff on it.
The problem is that I rooted it with my gmail credentials and now I can't change that or delete them in any way. I did add his, but mine can not be deleted as far as I can see.
Any help? Is a factory reset and re-root the only way I can do this?
Thanks,
Steve

That should contain the information you need, though I think most people have simply been re-rooting. Also, the apps you installed through Market are tied to your Google account, so if you change to his, I *think* you'll lose access to your paid apps.
I ended up doing a factory reset and then re rooted the NC.
Nothing else would work.

Yup. I just edited the db file above and removed the duplicate account I created. Upon rebooting all was well.

i had my phone upgraded by a friend to cognition 3.02, which was a bonus after he fixed some settings so the phone could read my sim again. everything works great, but i have run into yet another problem. the app store doesent show me all the apps, and i actually cant find anything i was able to use before, all is shows me is a bunch of apps that have less than 50 downloads. i also sometimes get a message saying that my device might not be compatible with the android market. All i want is to the the market to work properly and not have to bring it back in so my friend has to waste more time toying around with it.
All is appreciated

Did you back up your android id when on stock?
Did you try this, settings, applications, manage, market, clear data?

I have the same problem after reflashing a ROM tonight. I am in a test market site and all the apps available are all test apps. I tried flashing various ROM's with the same result. I had this happen to me before and it took 24 hours before things returned to normal so I am calling it a night.

So i still have to talk with him huh. (nope havent tried there yet prolly do that next). one more thing though, what if i just use odin to flash to stock, would that undo everything he did? if not, might it also help fix the market issue?

Yeah it seems that way. To be honest that should have been your first stop to find the answer as most issues are posted and fixed there. If you flash with odin to the correct firmware then yes it will. What firmware did you have?

Yeah and now it sucks because i can't get ROM manager to get clockwork to flash a ROM. Plus i can't download the apk cause my phone can't download unknown sources
yeah tried everything in that thread, and nothing. wasted like 3-4 hours

You don't need rom manager to flash clockwork. Second or third post if phoenix has an update.zip. That will get you clockwork recovery

yeah i got that all figured out, its just now my IMEI number won't freaking change...its at 004999010640000, i have the one that is the right one backed up but, it wont take. if used root explorer, tried the thread on the phoenix rom to back up and restore nv_data.bin and imei, but no luck. I "believe" if i get the IMEI changed the Market will start working. Now if i could have any suggestion that would be fantastic. I've spent all night with no luck. I think the IMEI is half stored on the NV_data.bin, which i don't know how to edit.
Thanks in advanced

I went through this same hell today. Spent about two hours trying to find a fix, and then realized I had some backups in the efs folder that went by the name of ".nv_data.bak".
I backed up the efs folder using ADB, then deleted all the nv* stuff in there except for that one backup, and renamed it to nv_data.bin. I restarted my phone and my IMEI was back to normal (and after a cache deletion from Download Manager, Google Services Provider, and Market, Market worked fine again).
I don't even know why my IMEI was screwed up in the first place.
If you email me your nv_data.bin I can at the very least look at it and see if I can find any glaring problems with it. Send me a PM and I'll send you my email if you'd like.
Yeah i need serious help with this... I tried almost everything. I did this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8983897&postcount=103 and it shows its pushing the right IMEI number that starts with a 3. but instead i rebot and its the same 0444 number
also to ensure i did it somewhat right, i pulled the .imei and opened it up in wordpad and it is the right number, so it means something is wrong with my nv_data.bin

I have tried everything I can think of short of the FastBoot restore to get the stock browser re-installed. I made a Titanium backup thinking that would help. I downloaded the file from the first page of this thread, moved it into system/app and changed permissions using Root Explorer, and rebooted with no results. This has worked for other apps for me, but I cannot get the browser to re-install. I moved and changed permissions for the odex file as well. I really want to get this installed to get my voice search working again and I don't want to have to start over with everything if I don't have to. Does anyone have any ideas? I have searched everywhere. I have not tried ADB yet because it isn't installed and set up on my new computer and I'm not that comfortable with it yet, but I'd rather do that then do a complete restore.

have you tried unrooting and rerooting? i had some isues of my own and that worked for me. its worth a try. better than a reset
Thanks for the suggestion. I finally managed to boot loop it and was forced to RSD it and reroot. Wasn't all that bad. Everything seems to be working now. Won't be uninstalling anything else, just freezing for me.

I used the TBH app to remove bloat and add a different battery meter and all has worked well for me.
Got a fire HD yesterday for my fiancee and got time to start it up today. I was planning to set a custom wallpaper with a message on it for her before giving it to here but I'm having trouble. I tried the app for the original kindle but it doesn't seem to work (also paid the extra $15 to remove ads). Has anyone found a way to do this yet?
Found this method for the original - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765044&highlight=wallpaper
Upon inspecting the framework-res.apk, I found the images in the \res\raw directory. Anyone know if this is safe to follow for the KFHD (once rooted)? Are these the correct images since they are in the raw directory?
So can this be done for hd7?

Be extremely cautious trying to change the wallpaper following this guide. During this procedure I bricked my KFHD to a bootloop (as mentioned here) for unknown reasons when changing the permissions to rw-r-r using ES File Explorer and
moving framework-res.apk to /system/framework.

Hello everyone, I am new to this whole rooting thing. I rooted my galaxy s7 edge and everything was fine and working properly until a couple of days ago. I deleted my SuperSU and some other backup files on accident. I re-downloaded the app on the playstore and now the SuperSU app says that root is not detected. I am trying to fix it and I can't figure it out. Someone please help me, I need to either unroot my phone or somehow get superSU back. Again I am new to this I tried to flash a zip in recovery and cannot seem to figure it out. Anyone know how to fix my phone???

Flash the unSU zip from here to unroot, then make the same that you did to root it again.

Well I wanted to use some of my apps such as PokemonGO, and with the root it wouldnt let me. I read on this site that deleting 3rd party apps and then signing into the apps would work. They made it seem like all I had to do was redownload SuperSu. However all the rooted apps are gone and a lot of other files are gone, and I still cannot use the PokemonGo app. I cant seem to flash the zip file that everyone says to do. When I try to open SuperSU it says it root undetected, but my bootloader still says custom and when I reboot in recovery it says custom. Also rootchecker says that I am not rooted. I just want to get my phone working either with the original software, or rooting all over again.

How on earth did you delete the Play store when trying to remove third party apps?
Anyway... I'd nuke the phone and start from scratch. Have you searched through your device's forum for advice? Feels like the more appropriate place to go... Good luck.
My phone loaded into recovery mode and factory reset the phone and now there is nothing on it. I cant get it to load what can I do

Your phone did that by itself? Seems unlikely...
And that doesn't sound like a factory reset, it sounds like compete wipe.
Like I said, go to your device's forum, find the stock firmware (here's one guide) or a custom ROM and flash it to your device. If you need further advice, those forums is the place to go...
What you really need to do though is read, read, read about what you're doing, before doing it. "Sir! Put the device down and step away!" :laugh:
