Super User Permissions / Root Explorer Issue

Having problems with Root Explorer. I open app, and it tells me that it cannot gain root. Does not go any farther. I know I have rooted, as I am using Titanium Backup and have backed up my apps (And also put apps on the color nook using TIBU). I have tried to uninstall Superuser using ADB, and to install a newer version, but have failed. I am using Superuser 2.3.6.1. Help needed!!

Sounds like root explorer needs to be added to your superuser whitelist...

[Q] haven't rooted since 1.6 and just got a replacement hero...

so I haven't had to root since we where using flashrec to flash recovery and i'm having a little bit of a problem. I had to get a replacement phone and to my dismay it came with 2.1 already loaded up to 2.31.651.7. I used superoneclick to root. now I have SU in my apps and if I use astro to browse I can up folder out of the sd card to the root of the device. BUT when I try to flash recovery using rom manager i never get a notification to allow SU permissions. any ideas? I just want my cm 6.1 back, sense makes me want to throw up...

Go into settings/applications / manage applications. Then scroll down to the superuser app and force close then clear data. Then go to the app in your app drawer and restart the app. Then go into the settings of the superuser app and scroll down to notification type and choose regular / normal notification instead of toast notification. Then try your apps that require su you should be good to go. Let me know if this works.

Kifno did you try reflashing your rom again you shouldn't loose any settings or apps.Also you could try uninstalling superuser and reinstalling it,or don't know which recovery you are using but you could try fix permissions.

Also don't update the binarys a couple roms have that problem when u flash a new rom go to the market first thing and make sure su isn't automatically updated if so stop it I had to do that coming from cm6.1 to asop9.9.2

I did a complete wipe of every thing and re flashed my rom and this time I used the apps2sd that was built into the rom instead of flashing the new one on that one thread lol.....flashing newer apps 2 sd was the problem lol

[Q] Min reqs for app install

I have recently purchased the GT-P1000 in Kuwait. It's unlocked but I don't have admin rights to it. Initially, there was no Android Market but I found the fix for that in another post.
My current dilemma now is I can't seem to get apps to install. The downloads will pause themselves and never install the application. I've had this happen to Angry Birds and Robo Defense.
As of now, I have no desire to flash this device. AFAIK, it's 3g voice/data straight out of the box and I don't want to risk losing those features.
Now, the question is, what's the bare minimum I need to do so I can install apps from Android Market and remove unwanted apps?

So I feel like an idiot now. For some reason, I can now get the apps to download and install: Angry Birds, Robo Defense, ES File Explorer, and Dropbox have installed successfully.
I still would like to remove some apps and install some that will need root access. Can someone confirm that if I root the phone that it won't affect the 3G data/voice capabilities?

ROOTING only gives you su (superuser admin) rights to your phone. It doesnt affect your phone or device functions (unless you mess around somewhere). Rooting gives you ability to access files or functions that vendor has it locked out from you. Sort of like jailbreaking the iphone.
Flashing roms is another thing. Some roms have no support to some functions But since you already own an unbranded non carrier GSM and Not CDMA tab. You shouldnt really worry.

all samsung tabs are different...so in lots oof countries they made some differnces in possibilties.
Try out by going to my weblog and after registering to download thje apks you find in the download section.
Best is to download this on another laptop..and copy the apk to the micro sd card in a folder with your name
then withe a file manager clck on the apk to see if they install
not working.....then you need to root your samsung to make it work

thanks for the info. I didn't think rooting would break anything but my paranoia got the best of me.

I rooted my phone yesterday and was able to install and run apps that need SU rights. I'm still havin trouble removing the apps that came with the Tab. Thoughts anyone?
FYI, I can uninstall apps that I've downloaded from the market.

Oho. stock apps cannot be uninstalled. Simplest way to uninstall stock apps is to use Titanium Backup Pro. Before you do that, be sure you backup the app in case you need it again later.

[Q] Giving root privileges to an application

Hi,
I'm using a rooted custom rom on my gt-i9000. I'm trying to install a system application from another custom rom. I've picked up related application from other rom and placed in my rom's /system/app directory. After rebooting phone related application doesn't gain root privileges. Is there any way to give root privileges to a system application manually?
Thanks
