Hi all,
today i was playing with my New One and suddenly this "ResetNotify" popped out asking for SU permission, anyone knows what this process/app is and what does it do?
My phone is on stock rom, rooted with SuperUser, clockwork recovery, and Xposed mod only.
Thanks!!
I tried searching "ResetNotify" but i couldnt find any information, has anyone seen/encounter this? i didnt had the chance to copy down the process but i believe its com.htc.resetnotify?
just wondering if anyone has seen this and what does this process do that requires root permission? if i never rooted my phone it would still work?
I see (or at least saw) it on a regular basis. I also did a search to try and find out what it was about. Eventually decided to ignore it unless virus apps started to scream about it.

Same problems, any idea ?
Install SuperSU (update the su binary too) and wait for it to happen again. Then go into Logs and see what app called it
Well??? What called it?
I'm also facing this issue.
I'm rooted, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery (TWRP), STOCK rom.
I did not grant permission figuring this is some ploy by htc to check if their devices are rooted and perhaps unroot it? Is that even possible?
Has this happened with any other prior HTC devices? anyone have answer to this?

SuperUser Pro is required to use this feature
com.htc.resetnotify is a common one across multiple htc devices, based upon what I can glean from the forums. I just went ahead and blocked it though. If I didn't have the device rooted, it wouldn't ask me for root privileges, so I just denied it and it shouldn't make a difference vs a stock setup.

If you don't know what it is, the best approach/security is to deny permanently. Think of it like the key to your house. Are you going to give a stranger a key so he can come in and do whatever, whenever?
Had this issue today, too. After granting temporary su permissions to the process I could see a toast that it was setting Filesystem rights. Unfortunately I couldn't see what permissions were ser on what file.
After that I permanently denied su permissions for resetnotify but probably changing fs rights is permanent.

I just got this too. I've had the phone since Tuesday. Unlocked, recovery and rooted... but still on stock. I denied it too. Just wish I could find an answer as to what it actually is.
Would love to know what it is. I used to get regular requests from it but I might have granted it permanent su

I just had the same request and I have the same concerns as others on this thread.
Is it a 3rd party app that initiated it?
If it is an HTC call, then why?
This happened first on my HTC one that I've had for a week.
Tmobile M7, unlocked,, TWRP recovery, rooted, and stock Sense 5 for five days.
It is a HTC app letting you know that your device has had an reset/data wipe and I think it wants to help you restore your data or settings.
You saw this after you unlocked your bootloader which wiped your data right?
Same problem here as well. Didnt give it rights though.
Same problem here, and I denied. It popped every day.
My guess..

The first time I got this i assumed it was part of the "your phone has recovered from an abnormal reset send report to HTC" message that you get after rebooting from CWM. I imagine, if we didnt have root access it would just send the info to HTC with out asking for permission. I could be wrong, but it just seemed to make sense to me.
Happened to me a moment ago, denied it but now asking to "Setup the phone"...
This also happened to me just now, just after midnight local phone time. HTC One SV, newly (over 24hrs ago) rooted, stock HTC Sense.
I've looked in all apps and ResetNotify reports:
ResetNotify
version 2.10
Can be Force Closed
Cannot be Disabled
Show Notifications is ticked on and cannot be changed
Total 4.00KB
App 0.00B
USB Storage 0.00B
Data 4.00KB
Phone Storage 0.00B
Permissions:
System tools:
Prevent phone from sleeping
Run at startup
When it requested SU I hadn't rebooted my phone recently but I do recall having the "HTC phone home" messages after unlocking with CWM bootloader, but before rooting.
Obviously, I refused ResetNotify from having SU as it wasn't an app that I had manually started. No adverse affects as yet.
I installed 3.75 B03 safestrap on my S5A from AT&T. After I backed up my stock rom, I noticed that Safestrap was disabled and I lost my root on my phone. Does anyone know what might of happened? I have no custom roms or that sort of thing on my device. Please keep in mind that I just switched from IOS to Android a few weeks ago and am trying to learn everything via google. Thanks for any input on this matter.
When you say sfaestrap is disabled do you mean while your phone is booting it shoss the safestrap splashscreen with a red [Safestrap: disabled] because in that case safestrap is working that just means you aren't currently booted in to a rom slot which is fine. As for loosing root, what all have you done to verify this? Have you considered just rerooting?

Yes, you are correct. It shows red [Safestrap: disabled]. I used root checker from the play store to check if I was still rooted. It determined that I was not. The weird thing is, I rebooted my device and got root access again. So I rebooted it yet once again and I lost root access. It seems to be an intermittent problem. If I keep rebooting, it will eventually give me root access again. I was also able to successfully backup my stock rom and restore the device to give me root access again as well. I've just been playing around with it to try and figure out what is causing it to lose root access. Any ideas? I do have a 64gb evo samsung class 10 card if that makes any difference.

Do you have supersu or superuser or any root manager app like that? If not install one and ser it up(install binaries, etc) and give it another go. If yiu do what exactly happens when you check, does any popup come up asking if you want to grant or disallow access?

I already had supersu installed. I don't recall ever having to set anything up. So I think everything is set at default. Should I "install SuperSu into /system"?

That shouldnt be necesaary. So i assume everything ran smooth with installing busybox(required for safestrap) and any other root applications? The dialogs came up and such? You never answered my question last time, have you already allowed root checker root access, or has it ever asked for it at all?

Yes, I did allow root checker root access. Sorry I missed that question. Further, everything ran smoothly with busybox. I'll just keep an eye on it. I hardly ever have to reboot my phone. Its just a minor hiccup that I have to deal with for now. Thanks for your help in this matter.
Hello happy new year, i see Cyanogenmod 11 comes with a superuser tab so i assume it's rooted, but root checker says my device isn't rooted.
I tried installing it anyways and rebooted the phone, no errors. But after i rebooted i saw a forum post saying i could get my phone bricked if i run xposed on an unrooted phone.
So i unistalled it before running the app again.
What should i do? Can i just install xposed with CM 11 as it comes or i need to do something else first?.
I've used eRoot with GB, ICS, JB with no issues but it doesn't work with Kitkat, so i'm not sure if i should just install it or what.
I really want some modules but i don't wanna break the phone :c
Installing Xposed on non rooted phone can't brick your device simply because root operations can't be done.
Xposed needs root access for installation process.

Go into developer options and make sure root access is set to apps, or apps and adb.
Common sense isn't all that common
Download set up first and then run the file after complete it.
I downgraded my Xperia M2 dual d2302 to 4.3 and rooted with towelroot and then flash 4.4.4 followed by flashtool force towelroot using super su. This would uninstall super su on my phone and install its own super su binaries and busybox content. The super su pro would however, remain installed. So, I would have to redownload the super su and as soon as i would open it, it would ask for binary update and then ask for reboot. I would just follow the prompt without question. As soon as it reboots,though the root would be there but sd card and system rewriteable will be gone and there is no way to make my system rewriteable without flashtool reflashing back to 4.3 and following the long procedure. I till now, would blame kitkat and sony for that. This continued for over 8 days till I realised that the real culprit was not sony or kitkat but super su binary update followed by reboot. This is highly anoying. What is the point of root if system or sd card writing is not allowed? For now, I am living with super su by canceling the binary update everytime I open it. I have OCD and I find it highly annoying. I tried searching for an option to cancel auto search for updates bur in vain. My phone works just fine without update. I need no updates and need a way to stop super su asking for update everytime. Please suggest me something.
I have now discovered that even if I cancel binary updates, supersu auto updates causing the same problem. So, now I have decided to live without Supersu as supersu is not needed for root. I have an unlimited root access for all my apps which have root permission now and to add icing to the cake, my bootloader is locked. If anyone else is searching for a way to make Sony Xperia M2 dual 4.4.4 system writebale without unlocking bootloader, just follow:
LOCKED BOOTLOADER
1. Downgrade to JB, Root your Phone using Towel Root in Jelly Bean
2. Update via OTA to KK 4.4.2 or KK 4.4.4 whatever you need (4.4.4 is recommended)
3. In this process, don't try to install or uninstall anything
4. Wait for booting finish
5. Install latest SuperSU from Play Store
6. Open Flashtool in PC
7. Connect your phone to PC
8. Now flashtool will describe your phone information, then click Root Tab in top, after that choose force root by TowelRoot
And after this, do not install supersu or any other root control app. Just let your phone be as such without updating binaries or anything and you will have root. You will have unrestricted root on Xperia M2 dual, Enjoy and remember not to install supersu, kingsu, cm superuser or any similar app.
I was thinking to help you, but then i was worried if something else goes wrong, then you will blame me, just like you blame super su.
Yeah I'm sure of that. Just a note for you: I already have root. Super Su is not needed for root. It only controls which app gets access to root. The only problem without super su is that there is less safety as any app can get root without restrictions. I just want super su to be polite and less invasive by learning to live with whatever it gets rather than forcing itself on us. If I don't want binary updaye, super su has no business updating on its own. I just want a way to stop super su from updating binaries and I don't think you can help unless you can patch the app which I doubt

I think you are misunderstand about the binary thing, supersu need to update the binary so it will work properly, its not like updating app on playstore, binary is the root system itself i believe.
Help me out on this one, afaik, root access need atleast 1 superuser app to allow and control the root access for any root app. Any root app will need to request for granted the root at least once ti get the root access.
So tell me, how do you manage to have rooted device without any root management app such [email protected]@cm supersu?

No, I am already having root . I have integrated most of the updates to my system app to my sys/app folder through lucky patcher and have installed the modded play store . I can even edit and delete system files in "ES explorer" file manager and stop items from startup using "all-in-one-toolbox" boot manager. I have an older version of su binaries which was installed automatically into my phone by "flashtool by androxide" using the force root mode using towel root :good: . But the supersu app was not installed and if the app existed before rooting, flashtool would uninstall it and also replace the new su binaries with an older version ! So, I already have full root access without the supersu app.
As far as i know, supersu is not needed for root. It is only a gatekeeper app which restricts the unlimited access of root to any app by making the apps that need root to ask for permission first. Without supersu installed, root apps get root access without asking permission provided binaries (any version) are already present. Also, for normal people who don't know or can't install binaries directly, they rely on apps like supersu, CM etc for installing the binaries. But once the binaries are installed, the supersu app is no longer needed for root (except in cases of OTA updates or updation of binary to a newer version) but instead works as a security guard for root.
Edit:
What I want is a way to make supersu submissive and to make do with whatever binaries are already present. If it is not broken, then there is not need to fix/update it. But supersu is extremely adamant. Even when I cancel the update, it gets the binary updated by itself when it gets an internet connection. And after reboot, my system rewriteable access would be gone! And how do I know for sure that Supersu updated binaries without my consent? That is because when I open supersu, it no longer asks for binary updates implying that it updated it on its own. I want supersu to understand that it is my phone and I will install only those things that i deem fit to be installed. Auto update services are something which i don't like.

Actually, you do have a good point here, as by mean we want root for full control of our property. And i just realize about the binary being updated thru network without our consent. I am hoping if you could get a logcat of the device when this happened next time. Including modem log, system, main, event, audit log, if possible. Im not sure if i can help you on this one, but i really want to look deeper into this one. Hope you can help me, using SysLog app. Can you do that, please?

At present I am using my phone without supersu as I will have to spend a lot of time downgrading to 4.3 and then rooting followed by painfully slow 4 OTAs in succession (there is no single direct OTA from 4.3 to 4.4.4 on Xperia M2 dual, unfortunately :crying: ) followed by installation of all my apps. I too wish there was a fix for supersu but the time I'll have to spend on that will be enormous and also considering that in this september my phone will mostly get lollipop 5.1, the 4.4.4 woes will soon be history.
Also, I want to mention that I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet. If I unlock my bootloader, all these problems with supersu will vanish. The actual difficulty I am facing is because there is no single post on the internet that says how to get system to be rewriteable without unlocking bootloader in Xperia M2 devices. Every post I have read of only has people with unlocked bootloader saying what to do and people with locked bootloader complaining that they aren't able to make their system rewriteable. I am probably one of those rare people who managed to get complete root with locked bootloader and hence facing the issue of lack of peer help.
Anyways, I really appreciate your interest shown in helping me. If I ever have to update my binaries in the future I will definitely take a log of it and pm it to you in case similar situation arises.
Cheers.
Same thanks to you. Actually, i think it is better to put the log here, as more hands and mind will be able to reach it, meaning higher percentage on discovering any hidden in the log. You are right about the lock bootloader, even until now i still unable to manage to truely understand about bootloader, as i didn't have any device with it to get inhand with the system. As always, i do appreciate any kinda knowledge exchange. Thanks in any way.
That's exactly why your system is read only and you can't move apps/data to sd ect without supersu installed and the binaries updated and Sony ric killed you don't have full root r/w access to system. The way you have rooted your device is the same way I did mine it's the easiest way there is if you can't get it right doing that way then maybe you should put your Phone back to stock. Flash jb, root with towelroot apk(at this point do not update anything), now update over the air to 4.4.2 then again to 4.4.4(again update nothing but phone)root will stick after each update. Download supersu connect your phone to flashtool and click on the force root tab(kills Sony ric installs supersu binaries and busybox) making system r/w

So after getting my replacement N910T, I rooted it using the method here, and it seemed to go well, but during the process of reinstalling apps, I noticed some erratic behavior like the device not allowing root access when root checker says it is rooted. Or SuperSu not asking for SU access on apps that normally do, thereby denying root access, like Root Explorer. When I go back and check root checker again, sometimes it shows that it has access and other times it says that it doesn't. For a device with a supposedly unlocked bootloader, I've never encountered so many issues. My AT&T S4 which has a locked BL never gave me any issues once it was rooted. With all the devices I've rooted over the years, I've never had this much trouble. So I'm wondering if it's corrupted somehow? Or is there something about this systemless root that is the issue?
Here are the basics:

I've read threads until I'm crosseyed and googled but couldn't really come up with anything, so I could use some help here.
I had the same problem with a Note 4 Tmo I am working with. What SuperSU version are you using?
I had root issue problems (root chk says rooted, issues in ES File Expl, etc) when I used anything higher than 2.65.
Try flashing SuperSU 2.65 stable through recovery (I use TWRP 2.8.?.?) and when exiting out of recovery DO NOT allow SuperSU to be installed as SuperSU installation says...
Thanks much for the response. I'm using SuperSu 2.71; I didn't choose this version, it came with the root I got from here. So where do I find this version you're referring to?

Hi have you figured out your issue yet. If not, Try using supersu 2.52. It's the last full system root I believe. I have had much better luck with full system than systemless.

I haven't tried anything else yet, I giving my head some time to clear. I've been at this for hours now, so I need a rest. Can I find that version of SuperSu as a flash able zip?
I used the links from Chainfire's thread on XDA

Thanks for all the help, I'm glad this happened to someone other than me. One thing though: I'm on OK2, I thought you couldn't have system root with that.

Okay, the installation of supersu 2.52 via TWRP has definitely made a difference! The device is noticeably stabler now. One last thing, though: root checker shows it's rooted, but says that a superuser app isn't installed, which is what I thought supersu was. So now what?
Did you flash over 2.71. And do you have a su app icon on your scrren.

Yes, I just flashed it from TWRP without doing anything else. And no, there isn't a Su app icon on the screen. I have a nandroid backup that'll put it back to the way it was before I did that, just in case it crashed and burned.
Download the app from playstore and then go to settings and do a full unroot. Then reboot to recovery and flash 2.52 then wipe cache and dalviche and reboot
MUCH BETTER!!! I'm in the process of reinstalling all of my apps; I don't want to take a chance of restoring my backup from Titanium, just in case there's something that won't play right.
I'll report back in a day or so.
Thanks to everyone who provided answers, it is most appreciated!
Welcome bud.
Thank you for the information guys. I was having the same issue as OP. Reverted SU as described and everything is much smoother
Yes, it's been a few days and my device is working the way it is supposed to. Interestingly enough, my SuperSU has automatically updated to version 2.65 but it's still working fine.
I've since turned off automatic updates in Google Play for fear of getting a version that begins the cycle all over again.
I still have the issue with the device telling me that the recovery is not seandroid enforcing even though I've updated to TWRP 3.0, and the set warranty bit: kernel issue. In spite of these, my device seems to work just fine with no issues.
Thanks again to everyone who offered help. It's nice when people offer help instead of posting just to tell you to find the answer yourself.

Your welcome. And I get kernel is not seandroid enforcing on every reboot. Thought it was normal ha
My research on this has taken me all over the place, but none of the suggestions or explanations seem to apply. The device isn't ostensibly crippled, so I don't know.
