[Q] Get rid of superuser permissions

Hello, i have a Nexus One, Android 2.2.1, build FRG83D.
I bought a 2nd hand one, it has installed te Superuser permission but seems not rooted, i mean i tried several tools like titanium backup, that need root acces and they didn't get it.
I tried get root acces with universal androot, it says that its already rooted, i try to root it again, it fails.
Im wondering what can I do, I was thinking in flashing to a original rom, not cooked, but im not sure if i need root acces to do that.
How can I delete Superuser permissions and root the phone properly?
I'm new in android and I'm getting a little lost here.
Thanks in advance.

Now I'm just a noob myself with this stuff too. It sounds like u got it 2nd hand if so I would find an ruu or what ever is required to get ur phone back to original out of the box state. Then try again. But make sure to get one that is rootable because I have seen ones that aren't.

Since you're on FRG83D, you can root with this method:

Ok. I'm going to root it, and see how it works. Then I supose I will install a cooked room 2.3.3 as long gingerbread its not easily rooteable.

You probably are rooted. However, some root apps (like Titanium Backup) require busybox to be installed as well as being rooted (otherwise those apps will give you an error saying you are not rooted, even though you are). Just install busybox from the market, and you should be fine.

You don't need to flash a cooked ROM if you don't want. Just flash a pre-rooted stock ROM, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396

I' ve alredy installed busybox and doesnt work, it fails when i try to install it, telling me that the phone is not rooted.

I suspect it was rooted, but got an OTA update at some point, losing root, but keeping the Superuser apk and possibly even su and busybox, but without the necessary privileges...

Then you are not rooted. You just have the Superuser application installed on your phone (does not give root access). Re-root like danger-rat indicated.
EDIT: danger-rat beat me to it!

Just Rooted my phone, following the method danger-rat posted here.
Thanks a looot!

Sure, read the threads buddy. Check the stickies first, and the general app section.

rooting by two methods
to root galaxy mini the easiest way is doing this by an update.zip or using superoneclick by shortfuse.org
For gt-s5570i and gt-s5570 here is the update.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576202 here you can get the update.zip
download update.zip and copy it to the root of your folder
1. switch off your phone press the home button and while pressing home button start the phone you will get to the recovery mode
2. in the recovery mode choose the 2nd option stated approximately as install sdcard/update.zip it will install the update
3. choose the first option reboot system now you mobile will restart if you find superuser app in you app drawer then your mobile is rooted
how to use superoneclick
1. download and install superoneclick on your pc
2. connect your device to your pc via data cable
3.start the usb debugging in your phone you can find usb debugging in setting--->application--->development--->usb debugging
4. when pc complete the driver installation open superoneclick which you installed earlier after oppening restart you pc
5. after restarting connect your device again open superoneclick and click on root in about 2 minutes your mobile will get root
6. superoneclick will ask for a test run it it will send su command on your device you will have to tap on yes to complete the test some time a toast message will appear showing that app has granted superuser permission it means your mobile has been rooted [rooting gingerbread with superoneclick will take more time than froyo]

Are you sure that SuperOneClick can only root 2.2 devices ?
Ive read that the latest SuperOneClcik can also root the Gingerbread versions.

I think superoneclick is only for rooting phones.
You should use Odin to update to a new Android, thus flashing a newer Android.

how you get rid of stock apps through odin

Okay i used the update.zip to root and after restarting I found the super user app. But when I open it says no " no apps in list" basically I can navigate through the app, i just dont see it do anything, I still can't figure out how to remove stock apps, what am I missing?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA App

Hmmmm so after some pondering I decided to try something different. I installed ES file explorer and in the settings menu activated both root settings available, doing so led the all powerful superuser flash screen granting superuser powers to the es file explorer. now using the explorer I have tried deleting the preinstalled apps that came with the phone but imagine they still refuse to uninstall!! What is it gonna take to get rid of em. The operA mini 5 and quick office are annoying me everytime i see them oh oh and the useless samsung apps app that always wants to download a huge update whenever I try using it keeps taunting me. They need to go.

my stock froyo had too many useless apps already installed that i couldnt remove...........so i guess when i flashed GB, those apps simply vanished.
i didnt do anything special with odin to get that result......

i also faced the same problem so i just removed it.

Now that I am certain I have rooted what next? I was under the impression that rooting would give me powers such as changing app permissions that were installed and those that are to be installed such as whether to allow or deny internet access, deny unnecessary permissions that some apps demand etc. instead I am disappointed to realize it only grants superuser powers to only apps that demand such powers. Meaning it only gives apps with demand for more power the licence to roam free unprohibited instead of offering me the power to curb the powers of some apps that I consider have too much permissions already, am I right?
So now that am root compliant what next? What apps do you lot consider to be essential utilities in a rooted phone that previously I could not install?

Locked bootloader and xrecovery

Hi guys, I have tired unlocking my bootloader and ended up bricking my device. Even tho its 9w not 11w+ ..anyway I have fixed it and its working and rooted now. But I need help making xrecovery or any recovery work. I have latest 2.1 with baseband. 015 and tried putting the files on system/bin and rebooted nothing showed up when clicking back rappidly. Can any one help? Thx a lot
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Why dont you use flashtool to flash another kernel. Other kernels already have recoveries installed with them and you will be able to flash better ROMs but only if you have unlocked the bootloader in the end. Did you unlock it or is it just rooted?
btw you have to install busybox aswell.
read this thread very carefully and beware which package you download.

I couldn't unlock cuz I got bricked while trying. I need to install recovery with my locked bootloader. Is that possible? Gonna check ur link now

Hi, how did you fixed it?? I have the same problem...

LOL.......you cant have an x8 with 9w.. cause it was released in 2010!!

are you sure you putted the 3 files?
Xrecovery.tar
busybox
chargemon

maybe you can downgrade it first dude..
then you can restore your file if you've backup files..
root your phone with SOC or Flashtool
click the padlock icon
afterthat install the root explorer by file manager
OR
copy paste these files (busybox,chargemon, xrecovery.tar) on system\bin after install rootexplorer

after succesfull flashing isnt rooted

Hi all,
I have problem with rooting of my moto.
I had finally found solution to bring recovery into phone by this thread (any other didnt work)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166646
Then I try zip from mattlgroff thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123369,
in recovery is writen that flashing is complete, but after reboot there isnt any superuser application in drawer so it seems that phone isnt rooted.
I have XT890 JB, retail.en.EU, bootloader unlocked
Do you know where can be problem, or what Iam doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hmm, dunno. Maybe reinstall the zip a second time? Otherwise, u can always use a pre rooted ROM from the development section

[Q] Cant gain root access!

Hi there!
I tried to root my phone, i done everything right, odin says PASS, but after reboot i can't gain root access...i mean i tried verify root access with a root checker app, and its says my phone is not rooted...but also the SuperSU installed, and the CF Auto Root installed too.
What could be the problem?
Thanks for the assist,
Regards

Delete Super Su then download from Google play, reinstall and reboot...

Already done...
