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

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.

OK I made same research i I find this:

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.

Yea, confusing.

[Q] How to remove Root/Towelroot?

I've looked all over the message boards, several google searches with many keywords and can't seem to find this answer.
Can Towelroot be uninstalled? If so what is that process?

Use superuser to unroot. And then just Uninstall towelroot. That was how I unrooted.

I tried that, Root Checker said I wasn't rooted, but the Barclays Banking app still detected some left-over(s), and said my phone was rooted, and refused to install

That procedure does not fully work. Supersu is still hidden on the phone. You will see that if you try to reinstall it. You first need to reroot. Afterwards, you must manually delete the su file from system/xbin with a root file manager, then uninstall the supersu app, and reboot the phone to unroot.

Phone reboots when trying to remove Microsoft OneNote

So I updated to 6.0.1 and rooted the phone. I'm on the stock ROM and tried to debloat programs so I tried removing OneNote through an uninstall app. (I tried installing Titanium Backup but there was an error) So I managed to remove most of the apps I didn't want, except OneNote. Every time I try to uninstall it, my phone reboots and remains on my device. Anyone having this issue? Thanks!

Try with CCleaner or search for a debloater at play store.

Tried CCleaner and even went into Apps in Settings and tried uninstalling from there. Still the same result, with the phone rebooting immediately I hit delete

Yeah when I try disabling it it asks me if I want to restore the app back to factory default for OneNote. When I hit yes, it reboots. ..does the same thing as me trying to uninstall it all together .. . i think it might be a particular file missing by chance? something must have happened when I rooted the phone. ..

If you are root, I think you can use a file explorer to delete it manually, only do that if you know how, other option could be restoring the firmware, disable all apps you don't want, make root, and uninstall them, I hate that app too. (One more idea, try to make it sleep with greenify and uninstall)

Titanium Backup Error After Freezing Unused Apps

I've had the phone rooted last year and haven't really messed with freezing unused apps until recently, bringing my battery life length to normal.
One of the apps I have frozen was Kingroot. Out of all the apps I've frozen, I'd think that one would be the culprit.
Here's a list of the relevant apps I've also frozen:
Root Browser
Root Checker
If there isn't a way around this, could I possibly reinstall or update Kingroot? Thanks in advance.

If your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP installed, you can use SuperSU instead of Kingroot.
Kingroot has issues and should only be used when absolutely necessary. Someone said it sends data back to China for no good reason.
Here's a post that details how to completely remove Kingroot and use SuperSu instead. I've only posted the relevant parts.
TheSt33v said:
However, if you absolutely cannot use a computer, you can do this, although I do not recommend it:
1. Google Kingroot, download, install it onto your phone and use it to root your phone. Be aware that Kingroot is developed by a Chinese company, and part of their rooting process involves sending lots of personal info to them for reasons that aren't entirely clear. There is some debate over how legit they are, but their root method should work on a phone with an unlocked bootloader.
5. Uninstall Kingroot.
6. Download this to your phone and install it using TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-su4tl-49-100-stock-t3390041.
This will remove all of the Kingroot files from your phone that probably were left on it after you uninstalled it.
7. Download this to your phone and install it using TWRP:
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip
You should now have a rooted, TWRP-equipped phone.

Thanks for the tip on KingRoot, Chazz.
I've just figured out the solution; Settings/Apps/Menu option in upper right-hand corner/Reset app preferences :good::good::good:

I edited my post to incluede @TheSt33v instructions on how to completely remove Kingroot. There is no valid reason for keeping it on your phone.
