One rooted when you try and run a program that requires root access a notification should open asking if you why to allow root access.
Click on the super user app. What happens?

nope nothing pop up to ask if i allow the access...
I have tried a two types of one click root program which is Superoneclick and another one by TGA_Gunnman..
But both act in the same way that nothing will pop up and ask whether to allow access...

What happens when you click on the super user app?
Have you tried rebooting the phone?
Have you tried replacing apk with market, search superuser in market, see if it shows installed, try to update or replace
You are on stock, correct

yeap i have tried to reboot after the rooting process...
I can open the superuser app too.
Yes im on stock.
Im thinking should i use z4root now?

Might as well. Did you check for the app in the market?
What are you looking to accomplish with root? What is your goal?

yup i checked the market too... it shows i ald installed the superuser..
Just want to root and use the rom manager to back up...
And i dunno y suddenly the root works! now im okay! Thanks for the help!
I guess we need to install again from market and reboot in order to use this...

No problem, who knows what the issue was. Enjoy, I am sure you will be flashing roms in no time

(Tip) Safe way to disable unwanted applications

From other post:
Another way to disable apps is to use Titanium backups "freeze" or the "disable" with adb. Both prevents the app from running BUT leaves it intact and give you a possibility to restore all apps with a hard reset.
Here is a guide from Paul at Modaco:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231
Basically its use adb to run a PM command:
pm disable com.Apps.apps (change the file name to the apk you want to disable.
Note: titanium "freeze" do same thing

Fixed (hopefully)

I noticed that freezing using titanium takes a while... It just reports 'freezing...' and seems to hang there (after terminating and restarting the apk appears as frozen though).
Anyone with similar issues?

I can recommend SystemApp Remover, cheap nice UI installer/remover/disabler/backup app for your system apps, works very fine.

Can you disable the icon for alarm and call log and still get access to these in the call-app and the clock-app?

Anyone know this?

Hi, i just got my 2x and i‘m very new to this process, but does anyone know if you can do this with a temporary root then have your phone reboot with the apps still frozen? I‘m reluctant to void my warranty without a good reason e.e custom gingerbread ROM‘s, thanks in advance for any replies

Not really sure, but with root you dont really have to be carefull for waranty issues. You can very easily unroot your phone with SuperOneClick root and there won't be any trace left

Thank you for such a quick reply, i think i‘ll attempt it with a temp root and if it doesn't work i‘ll root it permanently since i will be flashing ROM‘s to it in the future.

The app disabling is not "linked" to the rooting process.
If you disable apps using a temproot they will stay disabled until you factory reset the phone or re-enable them.

I tried, and it didn't work. Anyone know if it is possible to get rid of those two icons from the app drawer?

Just a word of warning: if you freeze some important apps and do a factory reset (using default recovery) you will probably get stuck on boot animation or beyond.
That is what I did. I froze LG Home using AntTek App Manager, then did a factory reset without unfreezing it and I was stuck after the first Setup Wizard. I had to reflash the phone using NVflash.

Bloat Freezer is free on the market and works much the same way as titanium for freezing apps

Freezing bloatware, how and what?

Hey there, i would like to freeze those lg services and stuff i dont use, so how do i do it and more important, what can i freeze and what not so i dont get any problems?

You need to root your phone with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
You can freeze with Titanium Backup.
I have freezed:
Car Home
F-secure

allright, i am rooted since day1 and i use titanium, do you or anyone else know what not to freeze, that would be easyer i guess

It's very simple. You can choose to frezze that app you don´t want. But don´t frezze any android system and if you only use Lg launcher don´t frezze that to.

I froze my O2x apps using the method described at modaco. I can't post the link, but just search for the post "Disabling stock apps on the G2 (and other NAND locked devices)"
Just use superoneclick to root your phone, and "adb shell" to execute commands.
There's no need to download or purchase any third party app.
What I've safely frozen on my O2x:
com.lge.CarHome
com.lge.sns
com.lge.osp
com.rsupport.rs.activity.lge
com.rsupport.input
com.rsupport.starter
com.rsupport.srn
com.rsupport.uinput
com.lge.android.worldclock.widget
com.lge.android.analogclock.widget
com.lg.appadvisor
com.lge.android.digitalclock.widget
com.lge.android.newswidget
com.infraware.docMaster
com.lge.fluidmedia

Don't freeze "com.lge.omadmclient". I don't know what it does but trust me when I say bad things happen when you freeze it. lol.

[Q] Root, modify and then unroot

Hi all,
Im new to Android but I have done a fair bit of developing with Windows phones. I have recently bought a LG Optimus 4X HD and the first thing I want to do is install PhoneLocator Pro for security.
In Windows I used to install security software to the extended ROM so if it was factory reset the software would stay. PhoneLocator Pro says it can do this if the phone is rooted. I have read the guide to rooting and im ready to give it a go.
My question is after I have rooted it, installed the software and removed the bloatware is it then possible to unroot the phone to protect it from accidental deletion and also to increase the security by not allowing deletion of PhoneLocator Pro when it is installed to the ROM.
I have done a lot of reading up on rooting but cant find anything on unrooting. I have also searched but when you search for "ROOT" a lot comes up.
Thanks

"5th. Automatically turns on the GPS giving you greater accuracy. Available only on phones with ROOT"
Soo, if you unroot the phone, the app won't work...
Stock apps can be uninstalled from the phone, and if you unroot there is no problem.
We can't have everything...

Thanks for your help.
If I leave the GPS activate all the time it should still work though shouldnt it?
How do I unroot and then i can try it?

In "SuperSU" you have the option "Remove root completly".
About the app... I don't know if only needs root for that option or to work normally. I never tried that app.

Thanks RuedasLocas.
In your opinion what freeze app software do you consider the best. Im thinking of trying App Quarantine and AntTek App Manager. From what I can see a few havent been updated for a while and therefore dont run so well on ICS.

Sorry if I steal the answer to this question but you can use the free app SDmaid. It also has an App management menu where you can freeze apps.
Or use Titanium Backup Pro Root.

Well... I use Root Uninstall Pro and AntTek Explorer, now, if they are the best or not...
They're very easy to work with and very effective.
RU allow to uninstall or freeze, give the app file location and directory thru AntTek Explorer.
AntTek Explorer allow to see and manage hidden files on the device.

If you plan to do some more Android stuff (especially flash roms what might be possible soon), I'd recommend you to buy Ti Backup.It's great for backups and can freeze, root uninstall, fix market links and more. I have never regretted buying it because you can do so much with it.

Is My phone rooted?

Hi. I just download and install recovery software call: Dr.Fone for android.
After prepared my phone to works with this software it was restart.
Software is relay good as I could recover my sms but! All apps related to banks stops working and give me msg: You phone is rooted.
Apps : check my root - says: - phone is not rooted... so, any idea what happen?

did you root it?
did you unlock the bootloader?

how can I check if bootloader is unlocking?
OK, I open Service menu and under Configuration it says: Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No
So is not rooted, but why banking apps stop working and says: apps not working on rooted devices - before I install dr.Fone banking apps works with no problem.

Then it is not unlocked because it says you cannot do it..
I think the app you istalled is the problem, uninstall it
Unless you have been through a process to root the phone will not maigically root itself.
Maybe you should repair the software with pccompanion just to be sure and not install dr.Fone app (Of which I have never heard of before..)

Try it yourself:

Im guessing you were taken for a ride with this app. Ill try to help you out a bit. That app (dr.whatever) left files on your phone that are probably the problem. Use your file explorer to navigate to your internal storage, find the folder named Android. Inside you will see two folders named data and obb. Inside you will find all the data for your applications (each located within thier own folder). Look through these for a folder with the name or developers name (sometimes this can be tricky because there are no spaces in the file name, as well its usually initials or abbreviations.) Locate the folder and delete it, then reboot. Since your not rooted, you cant wipe your caches and data as we do so just try this out.

there is no obb folder, just data.

OK I made same research i I find this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7b1QXxWk-g
When I connect phone with dr.fone it was this same way....
That means my Phone is rooted?
Root Checker Pro:
Result:
Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.
Detailed:
Super User Application Status:
Superuser application - version 3.1.3 -is installed
SuperSU application - is NOT installed.
System File Properties for Root Access:
Standard Location
Check Command: Is -l/system/bin/su:
Result: /system/bin/su: No such file or directory
Analysis: File /system/bin/su does not exist.
Can anybody explain me what this mean and is my phone rooted or not?

why don't you just try and root again with either doomlords easy root or bin4rys root kit.
That way you will definitely be rooted

To be not rooted. Cos I cant use some apps, witch I use on regular basis.
If I take factory reset - it will be after unrooted?

I don't think that you are rooted at all, that Dr Fone app sounds fishy and bogus to me (as others have stated as well).
Best bet is imho to repair with PC Companion as greg has also mentioned. You could also try removing any superuser app that apparently is somewhere on you device, it might be that your banking app checks for this.
Edit:
That Dr Fone app is not even in my Play Store - I would probably opt for a factory reset, rather than repair. Sounds like malware to me. If you want to backup something from your device, stay with the regular, known and trusted apps!

Which apps can not be used on a rooted phone? I never came across anything I can't use on my rooted phone, as opposed to an unrooted one. Just the opposite is true. There are many apps and functions that do work on a rooted phone, which I would be missing a lot if I was not rooted.
Dr.Fone seems to have manipulated with your system. My suggestion is first using the Doomlord easy rooting kit. It works like a charm, and also allows unrooting later in case you do not need to be rooted. Then uninstall that Dr. Fone thing (and everything else you don't need).
Like some of the others I do have suspicions regarding Dr. Fone software. There are so many useful tools and apps from reputable sources you can use on a rooted phone, it is almost overwhelming. What made you grab such a dubious app?
Now it is already on the second page for a relatively simple issue which basically comes down to one point: Get rid of that Dr.Fone. Action required.
No offence intended.

Flash a stock ftf you definitely not be rooted anymore.
There are several apps that don't work on rooted phones, sky go being one of them.
It is generally done by apps that have copy right laws to enforce or subscription issues.
