[Q] HTC One Root Problem - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey All !
I have a HTC One and I'm fairly a fanatic about conserving battery life so much so I used to be quite happy when I got 2 days out of it when it was first purchased, after the Android 4.2 update it went down although after scouring the internet I managed to bring it up with some good tips and tricks. I've recently looked into rooting and I took the plunge after I was convinced by the benefits although I would seem to have run into a problem of a weird sort !
I followed a video which showed me how to unlocked the bootloader and root the HTC One and It worked with the SU application showing my phone was rooted, I took the liberty of downloading a custom ROM and after downloading a few root applications, I've been getting notifications from some saying my phone has to be rooted and the app seizes to work. I've downloaded arious root checking apps and out of 5 apps which were downloaded, only 1 said my phone was rooted. I'm quite confused as I downloaded an app called "Greenify" when my phone wasn't rooted and it wouldn't work and now I downloaded it and it actually works ! I downloaded Titanium Backup and that wouldn't work along with a host of others asking for root permission.
I was wondering if anyone could be kind enough to tell me what to in order to remedy this, if not can someone advise on how to delete the ROM so I'm working with just a stock version of sense WITH root capabilities (before ROM installation)
Thanks !

[Q] New Roots...

So I rooted my Froyo Captivate today, I've never rooted a smartphone before, and I'm loving it. I got rid of all the AT&T garbage and to my surprise my phone actually seems somewhat snappier. I'm looking forward to using tethering and side-loading apps, but I have a newbie question about root access on the phone. Normally under Windows and Linux a user would not want to stay rooted all the time. Is that different on Android? Is it ok to just stay rooted all day long? So far what I've done is use Super One Click to root, installed Titanium Backup, removed the crap from AT&T, then unrooted the phone. Everything seems to be working beautifully except that Ti needs root.
How does everyone else handle this? Just root when you need to use Ti or some other app? I also deactivated the Market filter AT&T put on, so does that stick when not in root?
Thanks for the feedback.
You can stay rooted. Anything that needs root permissions will ask for it when it needs it.
The differance being that you don't have to open up a terminal and type su blah blah. You just hit ok when asked. OR NOT

leave root access there. it doesnt mean you are running everything as root

[Q] 2.2.2 OTA and root, where did I go wrong?

Hey guys, I'm definitely a novice in these matters, but this is the first time I've had a problem so I'd appreciate some help.
While my Droid was on FRG83D I rooted with SuperOneClick using rageagainstthecage. I had to install PdaNet to get it to work, but it did work for me. This morning I got the OTA update for FRG83G and downloaded and installed it just a few minutes ago.
I didn't unroot my phone before I did this.
Afterwards the two apps I use that require su won't work (Barnacle and ROM Manager for backups, I don't have a custom ROM flashed to my phone yet) so I ran SuperOneClick again, ran root using psneuter. Still didn't work so I unrooted using psneuter. Then I realized that I should probably unroot using rageagainstthecage and did so. So at this point (theoretically) my phone was unrooted. Then I ran root with rageagainstthecage again and my two apps still won't work.
Every time I rooted or unrooted using either method SuperOneClick worked seemingly perfectly.
So here's my question: What did I do wrong? And just as importantly, how do I fix it so I can have root access on my phone again?
*Edit* Well this is pretty embarrassing. I just rebooted my phone and tried Barnacle again, and the su acceptance box came up like it's supposed to. I suppose I'm back to being rooted. I think I'll leave this here, and if anyone has any constructive criticism of my (lack of) process or comments about why things acted the way they did and why it works now I'd like to hear it. I'm all about learning more about all of this.

[Q] Newbie with some questions

Hey all,
A few months ago I had a friend flash my phone to the leaed/cracked/amazing version of Froyo before samsung released their current version
I am currently running I897UCJI6.
I have been happy with this build for quite some time as it allows me to tether my wifes iPad via the mobile AP while we are in the car driving etc.
I now want to root my phone so that I can remove some bloatware and get into the nerd **** and get rid of ATT bloatware.
I tired a few of the walkthroughs here, but I am getting the E:couldnot validate permission error that a few people posted.
I need some help/suggestions
Do I:
1 go back to stock using the Odin 1 touch - if I do this where can i get the build i currently have as it appears to have disappeared like a virgin on prom night (or my searching skills suck as bad as my spelling)
2.) beg and plead and pray that there is a way to root my phone in 2.2
dear god im a failure

I have the super user app, but titanium backup wont let me in says im not rooted... help?
open super user app. What does it show inside of it? The app is used to grant programs root privileges. If your attempt to root was successful you may have to grant titanium access to root privileges. Also titanium requires usb debugging to be enabled and , busybox to be installed. USB debug is located under setting/applications/development. You can get busybox from the market open app and install.
Side note though, why would you still be using a 4-5 month old lek when your phone has an official release? Just wondering

[Q] HTC Raider 4G Bell,Root Issue

Alright so i'm new here and would like to explain my situation.
I have a HTC Raider 4G, Bell provider on the newest software. I wanted to root my device and i noticed i needed to unlock it, so i did and it went off without any errors. Then i looked for the newest most updated thread i could find on rooting a HTC Raider and followed it's instructions, it worked perfectly...or so i thought. I rebooted my phone and found superuser app installed, which should be a good thing but no matter how many times i use Root checker etc, i still get the message saying my phone isn't rooted.
Q:So i was wondering if someone could fill me in if there was a spot i missed or if i need to do something else.
I'm still new to this so i might now understand every term you throw at me.
Try downloading a root required app like titanium backup or ad away and see if it works.

[Q] Missing MTP after root

Hi, first time poster although I've been lurking around xda for years. Anyway I rooted my htc one and generally it works well. I have encountered a few problems though and would be extremely greatful for any assistance. Googling hasn't given me any proper solutions yet. So here we go
1. After rooting I no longer have access to MTP so I can't transfer files
2. Busybox does not seem to want to install. It either resets my phone or says it hasn't been installed
3. I tried to uninstall the drivers for my phone but when I do my device manager becomes non responsive
