Hey
Ive been rooted just two days now, im on stock ics 4.0.4 and i rooted using pc odin and the speedmod kernal that was flashed installed superuser and cwm. I have two questions....
However ive been getting a flashing message everytime my phone hangs or reboots saying *Shell has granted superuser permissions*
This message stays for afew mins but then stops. each time my phone hangs this message appears and then it tells me my launcher needs to close which is Nova launcher. ive gone into superuser and updated the binary and it still happends. I have to be honest and say my note likes to hang from time to time which i guess is normal for all note users lol.but this superuser is a joke and i wanna know if i can correct this with using the superUS from the play store instead??? Also superuser does not allow me permission sometimes but then sometimes it will, so i want this fixed ASAP.
Also that yellow triangle thing that is on my screen on recovery, i was told flashing through odin raises the counter but what does this mean? do i have to get rid of the trinagle or just leave it. cause i keep hearing you should and then some have said it does not affect the phone.
if i cant get this fixed, ill rather just unroot, cause i cant take all the parlava.
cheers folks!!!

1.) Kick yourself.Do not insult Devs who have spent much of their time giving you free stuff.Be thankful.
2.)Read the instructions thrice before doing anything.
Now for the real stuff-
3.)Download any stock GB ROM.Stock Roms
4.)Wipe Data
5.)Root it by following the same thread.
6.)Install any ICS ROM.Follow the instructions to the letter.Then use TriangleAway.apk to clear binary count.(Search the forum for the apk).The triangle is simply a sign signifying that you have flashed a custom firmware.If it is present you might not get covered under warranty.Read around for more information.
7.)You're done.
8.)If you have problems search for a solution.Search again and again.If you don't find after searching thrice,then ask.
"so i want this fixed ASAP." You do not want this fixed, you request others to help fix it.

These symptoms are may be of partial root, try root check as "alanccs" said, if it shows rooted, you can try changing superSu or updated busybox, and if that too doesn't helps, you have to flash stock GB ROM again, you can choose pre-rooted GB rom.

lets be real here, the app was giving me issues, its so not a bash at the maker. but i have fixed the issue with flashing superUS and no more error messages, no more having to keep pressing permissions for the root apps to work. i mean its just very smooth now. when my phone hangs or freezes the pop up error is no longer so thank god! all praises to SUPERUS!

So I am a new person and therefor can not post this in the development thread under the forum where I feel it would belong with the other root related questions.... So i followed the SUPER GUIDE to root my phone (Thank you so much Slapshot and PirateGhost, I was beginning to regret not getting a skyrocket until I found your thread). My super user is running into an issue I can not seem to fix.....
Maybe this is simple or maybe I really messed something up....
Basically none of my apps have root anymore (they did at one point and to my knowledge I change nothing...)
When I go to the Super User app to update my binaries and hopefully get any issues resolved I am greeted by the following error message in the update log: "Failed to find currently installed SU binary. Update cannot continue"
Is there a resolution for this? I have not found anyone even running into the same issue on the Vivid.....
A little nervous.... I didnt have near this many issues rooting my ATRIX and modding the living daylights out of that.
Have you checked with Root Checker Basic to see if you even have Root? If you didn't follow the Super Guide step by step your phone could have relocked after you turned your phone off/on.
If it still fails to update you could try SuperUser Update Fixer.
Yes I have check with root checker.
This may be a dumb question but how do I uninstall Superuser? When I go to the typical application management it does not give me the option. I have done an install again to overwrite the files and nothing changed there.
I followed the instructions step by step (though obviously I messed up somewhere...)

Interesting... maybe your root didn't stick. We had a little trouble with that before but pirateghost fixed the CWM ROOT zip. You have a working CWM Recovery, correct?
In the superguide, I have a second option for root in case the first doesn't work. In your case, go ahead and try the second option. The one involving the supertool. That should get you perm root. If that doesn't even work, then we might have to put you back to stock and go at it again.
EDIT: BEFORE TRYING THE SUPERTOOL, try flashing the new CWM ROOT VER2 zip from CWM recovery and see if root sticks.
Slapshot, thank you for checking the General Thread, I really do appreciate that. I have tried both methods multiple times since the root failure seeing as so many people said they had to run the methods multiple times to make them stick (this admittedly may be part of the issue). The most recent one has been the CWM ROOT VER2. Still no dice. Is there a method to remove and re install super user? Or am I reading into the error too literally and instead I just basically do not have root.

No problem. At this point I think you may just not have root... but first, go ahead and go into bootloader (power off, then power on while holding power and vol down). Does your device say unlocked?
*Just a clarification*
You have to unroot your phone to get rid of it Idk why I put uninstall/reinstall earlier...still out there from last night I guess.

Yes the device still says unlocked. That was one of the first things I checked... Haha....
As I said ive flashed the rooted CWM and it says it went over successfully.
If i use the Zerg exploit it still seems to go over successfully (I realize this has a tenancy to mess with internal storage and only provide a temp root but i do not even get that temp root).
How would I unroot my device? Do you mean flash to stock and relock my boot loader?
As I said I have flashed several devices in the past (Atrix, eee pad transformer, HTC Inspire, HTC DINC, SAMSUNG GALAXY S T-Mobile) but I am not completely up to date on all of the technical terms...

I haven't told anyone how to do it surprisingly, and I'm more than happy to help . I was honestly thinking about adding reverting back to stock to the superguide, and I think I just may do that. Here is the link. Pirateghost is the man.

I would try it tonight but lets be honest, its the 1st of the year and the last thing I need to be doing is messing with technology.....

It's no problem, this isn't a dumb question or easy issue by any means. If the method I directed to you doesn't work, let me know. There is another way to do it without all the code.

I believe this could be a limitation of the ROM or the service you are using. Search the developer forum for a ROM that gets past this limit and check with your phone service provider (I read somewhere that Verizon has this limit, but can't vouch for that as I am in different country)
thanks, but I am new to this whole android world, this is my first android coming from a nokia n900.
I have been reading, but it seems I need to root my phone which is now difficult because as soon as I received the phone i updated it and now have the kernel LA6 instead of original LA4 which is more difficult to root.
As for the thread you provided matius44, does the .apk file only work with ics roms or can one install it with just a rooted GB rom.
----
Just so I can be sure, I do want to root, but I'm slightly confused, is it correct in saying that I need to downgrade the fw and kernel to an older stock rootable rom then root the phone? or is this wrong?
Yes- have a look at the developer forum - there are details here...

That used to be the case, but there is now an easier way which flashing pre rooted ROMs directly and you're good to go, here is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
As for the .apk mod, I never tried myself honestly but there are versions for GB and for ICS, any .apk with ZCLP in it's name is for ICS you don't need that, take the other ones
I've tried dr. ketan's way and it didnt work for me, maybe i didnt know what I was doing,
Ill try these pre rooted roms, I just basically flash them to the phone, does all my data in my phone get wiped off clean? if so, what do i use to make a backup.
btw sorry for all these questions.
and thanks in advance.
It's been that long since I rooted my phone I've forgotten how to do a backup without rooting! Titanium backup needs root.
Have you tried booting into recovery mode then doing a backup from the menu that appears (vol up+home then press power until Galaxy Note boot screen appears then let go of all buttons) I'm pretty sure you can backup from there.

You can have it either ways, wiped clean or not, up to you..
At the pre rooted ROMs thread there is a screen shot showing the three file you will find in the zips and the places they should be put at in Odin, if you do NOT want to wipe your data do NOT choose the CSC file, only flash PDA and phone (modem)
Or you can use Titanium Backup to backup your user apps only, do NOT backup system apps but your settings will be lost of course
Your preference
EDIT: Sorry forgot you don't have root lol! Sorry have no idea how to backup without root, try the poster above me suggested
Congrats Matius! 1000 posts! That is great work!
no you can't backup using that method, it just give me options to reboot, wipe everything off and some other things. all i need to backup is mainly my contacts and some data, ill try kies.
Kies should work. I wish I could remember what I did to create the backup - I've done a quick google and only found using adb and a terminal prompt, which I have never used. A quick search of Google Play shows some that may be worth a try and are free.
Wish I could be more help but for the life of me can't remember what I did that first night with my Note and got it to backup.
Good luck with Kies and enjoy flashing ROMs!
even kies doesnt work. i think astro backup will backup my files, as for settings ill just have to deal with it.
OK - good luck!
BTW - If you get heat issues after flashing - don't panic! Leave the phone off for five to ten minutes to cool down then charge it for an hour with the screen off. I found this was my biggest worry when I started flashing. Got really hot - thought the screen would melt. Now I just use the above process and never have problem.
All the best!

To make sure you are rooted use a file explorer app (root explorer or ES file explorer)and try to copy a file (pic, video or anything) to /system folder

I'm a complete noob on this. but i think I'll just flash a stock rom.

The AIO toolkit is way to go to root properly. You should think if you want to stay GB bootloader or switch to oval. You should also think which rom it should be. Stock or custom stock or cm/miui. That error never occurred by me BTW.

Hi Everyone,
I know there are numerous posts on here and other sites about how to root your galaxy ace but I have tried them all and nothing seems to work. I have struggled with the phone for the last 17 months. I am due an upgrade in January. The lack of memory and poor performance does my head in. This is my first Android device. I hope newer devices are better else I will try to get an iPhone when I upgrade (or even win mobile).
When I try to root I either get:
"Error in /sdcard/upd_1.zip (status 7) Installation aborted
or
it says installation complete and when I reboot there is nothing to indicate a successfully rooted phone.
I have tried numerous downloaded files such as root,zip, upd_1.zip, update.zip etc and nothing I download seems to do the job.
I tried the Jelly Bean Cyanogen rom for a while but I found it even slower. Ideally I will stick with Gingerbread but I need to remove all the bundled crap. I have already moved as many apps as I can to sd card using the "SetInstallLocation 2" command which helped but I still hate this phone as it is.
Can someone PLEASE help before I pull out what little hair I have left.
Thanks
You can flash a new ROM but can't root?
Just flash a pre-rooted stock ROM. Then delete system apps you don't need. Tada!

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. I just downloaded universal_gb_root and it seemed to go okay. Lots of text flashing up screen then message saying something like "your phone now has root access - enjoy"
I restarted fully expecting it to have worked but alas, it is just the same. I then installed root checker from play store which confirms that "this device does not have proper root access."
I will have another look tomorrow after work. (if not chucked phone out car window by then)
How can tesco advertise this phone as "great for app lovers and gamers!" Yeah, if you only want a handful at any one time - grrrr

Sorry to hear that. My phone´s root was done long ago with one of those solutions that didnt work on your phone. So if you dont want to continue to look for a way to root, you can simply install a custom rom that already has root
I dont know stock rom´s already rooted, you have que wait for ironman to show you, But there are custom rom´s based on stock rom´s in this forum. Sorry coulnd be more helpful
[EDIT btw you did open superSU and upgrade the SU binary, or it didnt have superSU at all, after root?

hello searched the web and found this site that is guaranteed to be updated.
Tested the download and installation on my PC and it works, however, have not experienced in S5830 cause I already have root. You might want to find someone who has successfully used
Hi,
I didn't have superSU at all. No new icons or anything indicating root. Thanks for the suggestions. I will try when I get a minute.
Try My Blog.

Flash the unSU zip from here to unroot, then make the same that you did to root it again.
I am having a hard time flashing things to my phone. Would you be able to help me a little more detailed. My phone doesnt want to recognize the file do you use odin or a program?

So after I download FlashFire I can flash new files onto my phone from my phone? I am sorry I am asking so many questions I am just getting frustrated and slightly confused with all of this.

I never tried it (don't needed), you need to try for yourself. Just a silly question, do you have a nandroid backup, before the issue happened!?

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
what is ur problem?

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:
