Earlier I downloaded the z4root app from Amazon and 'supposedly' successfully rooted my GT-P1010 Tab. I say supposedly because after rebooting I didn't really see a difference beside the 'Superuser' app showing up amongst my others. I couldn't delete the stock apps (like WSJ, FT, NYT, etc..) which I don't use and one of the main reasons I rooted in the first place. Nothing seemed different whatsoever, besides my memory just being a bit lower.
What am I missing?
Get the app Root Checker from the marketplace. It will let you know if you are rooted.
If rooted, try Titanuim backup to frreze, instead of uninstall, any app you wish.

Thank you for the info! Downloaded the Root Checker app and apparently everything is great. Tab is actually successfully rooted and busybox is also working correctly. Did what you suggested next and added the Titanium backup to freeze apps I'd rather not have. Great app for backing up as well as I never would have thought I'd need it. I do have a lot to learn.

Bizarre! I made a OTA update from 2.3.6 to 4.04 and didnt care much whether I would lose root. I'ts been 3 -4 days now and this morning I've seen on the screen that Titanium backup batch operation had successfully been finished.... Do I still have root? since Titanium looks for a root?
open superuser and update binaries

sounds like a carry -over/remanent feature, you may have the so-called partial root, does adaway work ? can you copy files into system ?
use some apps that need root permision
like root explorer and so on
Every program work but cant update binaries.

i have a similar problem.
i am on cf root and titanium backup also works. but nothing else which requieres root rights, e.g. root explorer, androidlost or ntfsmounter.
root checker says i am properly rooted but i have never been ask for root permission for those apps. in superuser app there are also no apps listed. not even tit. backup

Hey guys. I got my grouper yesterday, I'm hoping for a warm welcome
The first thing I did when I took it out of the box was fire it up, unlocked and rooted. When I rooted, I flashed SuperSU flashable. I also flashed CWM touch. After that I flashed SmoothROM 4.4, and I was solid. I installed all of my usual apps, then went to do what I call debloating, (Looking for apps I don't use such as voicedialer.apk, and deleting them) using root browser (/system/app). I noticed it wouldn't delete, then tried another app that requires root permissions. Nothing. I got suspicious, then re-downloaded root checker. "Sorry! You're device does not have proper root access!" What happened? Is this just me, or is this a widespread problem with this ROM? I'd like to keep this ROM if possible. Is there a way to re-root my device (more or less)? Thanks, a response or any help would be very much appreciated.

Rom specific questions need to be posted in that rom's thread. Do not start new threads about custom rom issues.

I am having same issue
This issue has been addressed; do a Verizon Nexus Forum search.
Uninstall supersu, reboot, then install the market version, not the flash able zip

Hello! Every day at 14:22 my phone wants to access root permisions, what is this and why it is for?
P.S. my rom is full stock with root access

Dunno but I can't see why the Phone app would need root so I'd deny that ****.

thats not an answer i was looking for
Without knowing the app, we cant answer What is the app name?
The fact that it is at a specific time, each day, is HIGHLY wierd.. Also, the app has NOT declared superuser permissions, this is sloppy at best, suspicius at worst. Also, it is a phone app, why need root permissions?
Install a root app (SuperUser by chainfire for example) that logs the request (the command it wants to run), to give us more to go on.
Kind Regards

Im having same issue. "phone" is requesting superuser access. Im also getting "system_server" requesting superuser access once everyday. Just updated to 3.62.401.1. And recently installed Xposed framework. Im also using tasker and secure setting. Dont know if these app could be causing this. I dont see any details from supersu log except it attempted to get su access...

Hi guys.
OK so after doing research I decided to try the kingo root method.
All was going fine but when it asked me for the root permission on the adb shell the adb shell did not register my touch on the grant button.
Then stopped.
Kingo says root failed.
However I have root access.
The only problem is that my ui stops when I reboot. And backround goes blue. Everything seems to work but my play store does not let me download apps intermittently. It will download it in the stores download meter then the play store "stops".
If anyone has some insight it would be greatly appreciated...

Try opening the SU app and updating it
Try what @RErick said first. Open Superuser and update it.
If you're still having issues try unrooting with kingo or superuser, then re-root with kingo again.
And next time please make your thread topic based more on YOUR issue. Kingo is NOT unstable like your title mentions. "I messed up rooting" fits this description better!
My kingo root is. I didn't mean the accual prosses. I apologize.

What causes this issue. If I factory reset my phone will I lose root? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

No you will not loose root access if you do a factory reset. You'll probably need to download supersu again though.
Have you removed or frozen any apps since you rooted? Or are you still experiencing issues since the botched root attempt? If you did delete system files without a backup, a factory reset won't replace or fix them. It's possible a factory reset might fix some force closings, and worth a shot.
So what's happening when you experiencing these force closes? What tasks are you performing when the error occurs? Are you using any home replacement apps, or launchers like Apex, Nova, Go Launcher, etc....? I was experiencing system UI force closes with apex until I wiped apex's data and cache.
No deleted system apps. No launchers. When rebooting ui FCing. When I try to download app from market FCing. Now market won't even open. It force closes immediately.

I'm on 5.0.2 and rooted (via PingPong). I rooted after the update notification (for 5.1.1) showed up, and now I can't get the notification to go away. Does anybody know of a way to get rid of the notification or will I have to just live with it?
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Premium HD app
I am rooted via pingpong and I never received a notification when the update became available...
I fear that my problem may be that because the notification already showed up before root I'm stuck with it. Whereas if you rooted before, then that process doesn't carry through.

did you ever get this resolved, was about to root mine and stumbled on your thread. I have the notification also, but havent rooted yet
Use titanium backup to freeze softwareupdate.

Can confirm. Freezing software update does remove the icon.
That's what I was thinking too; Titanium Backup to freeze it. Will have to hunt around and find the process to freeze again (been a while), but that should do it.
Thanks
any non-root way of doing it....I am a T-mobile build that still isn't supported by pingpong root
