Hi all, hope anyone can help.
My phone was all rooted no problem after unlocking my bootloader etc.
I did the latest OTA update and it went through all fine. I saw I still had superuser on my razr i so didn't think much of it.
I came to use a particular app the other day and realised it wasn't working.
I rebooted my phone and noticed for the first time that the unlocked that appears under the motorola sign (when I unlocked the bootloader it started displaying) was now missing.
I tried to update the binary settings on the superuser and it kept on failing. Then I downloaded root checker and it said my phone was incorrectly rooted.
So couple of questions if I may:
1 - how do I go about properly rooting my phone again....has my bootloader re-locked?
2 - how do I scrap the whole thing and go back to stock i.e removing superuser completely.
Thank you all and Merry Xmas!

Hi,
everything you described is normal after an OTA update. The unlocked image at startup is replaced by the standard one but your bootloader stays unlocked. Root access gets lost after the update but you simply have to re-root it as you did the first time. (root exploit or root zip for cwm)
look here:

Cheers but I won't be able to do this I think as superuser is a system file that I cannot remove without being fully rooted first so therefore I guess I will have to re-root it to unroot it lol.

yep i think so.
been trying to figure out how to unroot cm10.1 the type where superuser is integrated into system config, not as apps. not sure if anyone have figure that out..some guidance would be great..
gotta use some application which will detect root and i rather use lightweight cm than the heavy tw rom...
*edit**sorry...description i gave wasnt detailed enough..its actually 4.2.2 version where super use is intergrated in settings...hence there is not icon on apps...

I am not sure about this, but you can try to install the SuperSU.apk from the play store and then see if it works...
Looking for this too
I recently upgraded to CM10.1 and am faced with the same challenge, rooting/unrooting with CM9 and superuser.apk was easy. How can I go about this now?
Hi Guys,
I am totally newbie here. I just got my Sony Xperia V, I found a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277334
And then, in the post by imk82, he said he must do a backup first with Sony's backup app before he finally able to root Sony Xperia V with Bin4ry method with no problem in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41457358&postcount=2861
But I have no idea what does he mean by "Sony's Backup-app".
Someone could tell me more specific about it?
Is it App in Google Play or is it PC Companion?
And why is it related?
Thanks.
Furthermore, there seems 2 options to root Xperia V
If you look at the source of the script, you will see...
echo 1) Normal
echo 2) Special (for example: Sony Tablet S, Medion Lifetab)
echo 3) New Xperia Root by Goroh_kun (Xperia Z, Xperia V [JellyBean] ...)
echo G) Google Glass Mode (thx Saurik for the ab file)
Seems either 1 or 3 can be chosen to root Xperia V, but what's the different? I couldn't find the info anywhere
a backup is not essential.
I have never heard of rooting destroying any files. (*But that is no gurentee)
You need option 3 for jellbean

Hi thanks for reply.
I finally found the guide here (hxxp://talk.sonymobile.com/message/398680#398680), it's quite simple
I copy paste the guide here :
How to root Xperia T and Xperia V ( 9.1.A.1.140 )
Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"
Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging
Download the Rooting Toolkit > Link 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 and extract it. Run it and select Normal Mode , press enter. Now connect your phone, follow the on-screen instructions it shows.

Hi, since I use my xperia in German I'm not sure about English menu. But try like this:
There should be an app already installed at your xperia. Called Backup & Restore (or similar) - the icon is round and looks a little bit like a door of a safe / vault, colors are mostly white and some red. Start this app and follow instructions.
Hope it helps you.

I tried the method Bin4ry gave, but the root was not working well, for example when I run Titanium Backup it's asking for permissions thousands times.
Then I installed BusyBox from the market, and after that rooted with this method - Motochopper, it installs SuperSU, and then the applications ask the SuperSU for permissions only once and its working fine now.
You can safely delete the Superuser and BusyBox Free after that, only SuperSU is needed.
I am not sure though which I did first, the Motochoper root or the BusyBox installer.

I mean I rooted it with the Bin4ry method first, it was rooted, but the Superuser required permissions everytime multiple times and didn't remembered. So with the Motochopper it installed SuperSU instead of Superuser and it's working fine with it.

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.

When I connect phone with dr.fone it was this same way....
That means my Phone is rooted?

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.

Hi!
I have rooted SGSA and update the SuperSU app from Google Play.
I see in options that there is an option "install supersu into /system"
Is unchecked from default.
What it does?? (i search Internet but i didn't find any information...)
It is good to check it? or it isn't necessary?
Thank you.

If I choose it will it stabilize the system so when I reboot it will keep root?
I had it all set up rooted and SuperSu and went to back it up so I could just use twrp recovery and restore it and still be rooted and just like it is after rooting and all.
I made the back up and did the required reboot and when it finished I lost root.
Will this work?

On Galaxy S Advance I9070? Check if you have USB debugging ON (when you said you lost root). This will not make it more stable, SuperSU.apk is just a GUI for controling root. And you root with SU file that is pushed to system (can't remember what folder exacly).

I had it rooted with Kingroot.
As far as I know that's the only way for this model of device.
Then using MrW0lf's method I replaced and removed Kinguser for SuperSU.
I was still rooted.
I wanted to make a backup so when using restore I could retain root and SuperSU in my system.
The setting of choosing to make SuperSU a system app in stead of as it is, I thought would make it possible to keep root.
I have used restore while having root with Kinguser and kept root.
I am not understanding why I loose root when restoring while having SuperSU.

I do not thing that moving SuperSu to System partition would help you. Main file that enables root permissions are not in that apk, you can install SuperSu from the Play store. That is not the problem.
Do you know why I loose root after a restore?
