Hello!
I'm rooting noob.
I've got a big problem with my phone. I have rooted my device some time ago, now i want to go back to stock. When i choose supersu option to fully unroot nothing hapend. After reboot, supersu is still there. I tried to flash zip with newest version of supersu-nothing. I tried to remove supersu manually it doesnt help either. Supersu seems to miss some of the libaries but when i try to instal it via twrp it shows no md5 file found error. Is there any easy way to return to stock? I mean something like clear all phone memory and just flash stock rom? Getting to fully operating root its also fine.
Go easy on me, im learning hard way. English is not my native language so sorry for all the mistakes i made.

Hi, I rooted my phone to install the hebrew fonts and it works great.
The phone is factory unlocked, I rooted it as I said and set up recovery. I am pretty sure I saw something about super user while doing that but not sure.
So when I try to install the n1 torch or other mods via the market after installing them I just get a black screen when running them saying it is accesing SU and then it crashes.
Do I need to do anything else or is it possible that there are different ways/versions of rooting the phone?
If I do need to something to update the SU will it delete all my current settings and apps? When I rooted the phone I lost all my installations and settings.
Also, can I safely install any OS updates now that the phone is rooted?
Thanks!
You need to to enable root access to use apps link N1 torch... aka. super user or su... to do this, either flash a cyanogen, enomther or madcao ROM or flash modaco's superboot boot image...
If you want to keep everything as is and just enable su, use the superboot boot image... you won't loose any setting or apps...
As long as you have the stock ROM, you can install all OTA updates even if the phone is rooted... else, if you installed a cooked ROM, you might have to wait for the cook to include that in his ROM (Of course, this is generally earlier than OTA updates)...
Thanks for the reply but I think I already did that while rooting the phone I double clicked on 'install-superboot-windows.bat' while in recovery mode.
Is that what you mean or am I missing something?
Also ,what do you mean by the stock ROM?
Thanks!
Hello there everyone, total noob here.
I have tried to "root" my S3 LTE using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-cf-root-cwm-recovery-ported-supersu-t1914394 (or more likely this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45291825&postcount=306 ). Everything went great, Odin has shown a pass and it was successful while installing CWM, then I installed Supersu through CWM (only thing I did differently was putting a supersu zip file on internal storage) and that was a success too. I did everything like it said, even without plugging out my phone. After rebooting everything went down...
1. Knox is blocking SuperSU, someone reccmmended that I should have tried to disable it by installing supersu.apk manually, but then it has shown a popup that supersu doesnt have access to binary files. I have checked with root checker and it said that device isnt rooted...
It wouldnt bother me much, because having root isnt necessity for me, but...
2. I cannot access internet via wifi. It connects to router, signal is pretty decent, but still, when I try to use a build-in browser/chrome it just doesnt connect. Nevertheless, I can connect via 3/4g with no problems at all.
Now, I dont have root AND internet access.
Other info that might me useful:
Android 4.3
Null IMEI: no
Baseband: i9305XXUEMK1
I have performed factory reset, still no use.
Any help regarding repairing wifi, getting root access or bringing back state before "rooting" would be appreciated.
Regards,
Maziu92.

Just download the "SuperSU version 2.02" apk and install it. Its provided in this thread. (its newer than whats currently on Google play)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...covery-i9305-cwm-philz-twrp-versions-t2694249
It will ask to disable KNOX. select YES.

The best thing i can suggest you is moving to the new 4.4.4 Stock Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-rom-4-4-4-gt-i9305n-i9305nxxufni4-t2886807
Use Odin v3.07
and then (if u want) root it using "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar.md5."
and install "SuperSU version 2.02"

Oh, I did it, that's why it said the binary was missing. But I did it other way around:
1. I have flashed CWM like it said in second link provided in first post
2. Installed SuperSU 2.02 from zip file on internal card though CWM instead of file provided in thread (I could have installed remove-boot-recovery too, but I didnt notice that I needed that. Anyway, I did that later)
3. Rebooted and tried to turn on - supersu was still blocked by knox :/ BUT!
4. I have installed manually supersu.apk, then opened it via installator (important! Dont tap 'done' but 'run'!) and next I didnt get the "missing binary" popup but if I want to disable KNOX. Well, yeah, I do, so I tapped OK and it looped and looped... http://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/2a92qq/supersu_stuck_disabling_knox/cisq087 found this soulution and it worked (reboot phone and start supersu again). Sorry about my short memory, but I think I needed to install supersu.apk manually again and tap disable once more time, but disabling KNOX took a few seconds.
5. And then I went to the settings in Supersu and tapped option 'install supersu into /system', rebooted and it worked fine!
5.a To make sure it really works I downloaded (via 3g ) Root checker and it said it is rooted.
So now I have root, yaay, but still no Wifi access :/

I have been using odin 3.07.
Really, It is the only way to get back wifi? Are there any other options apart this?
Nooby questions:
-will it work with my phone? It says that its "MODEM: I9305XXUFNI3" and mine is XXUEMK1.
-in the meantime I have read about efs files/folder, what are they for and should I somehow backup them?
-while flashing 4.4.4 it is possible that my IMEI will go null?
-will it be possible to go back to 4.3?
I dont want to brick it or anything, thats why I am asking.
And of course, thanks for your help, Tharinduwijewardane ^^
Edit:
Actually, I have managed to repair my WIFI connection without flashing new rom etc.... So what was wrong, you will ask? Me.
I have downloaded adblock (before factory reset) and it asked to connect via proxy, so I did. And then I have disabled it because it was blocking SuperSU along with KNOX. And my phone tried to connect with internet via proxy, but it couldnt, because of this configuration.
Found this by complete coincidence (my GF told me to check if I get connection though Chrome and it said that it cant connect because of proxy settings). It is strange that this configuration was still there, even after factory reset.
Oh well, case solved, thanks again for helping and even everyone else for checking this out^^
glad to hear u got it fixed.
:good: :good:
I thought I would search for help on XDA but there does not appear to be anyone who has the problem I am facing.
I want to update Android Revolution HD, or go back to stock or whatever, BUT, I have just noticed that TWRP seems to have gone.
The M7 is unlocked and running ARHD 71.1 with TWRP and SuperSU.
Having decided to update I was making some backups and doing a clear out and I tried to open SuperSU.
SuperSU said it wanted to update, so I wentb through the steps to update SuperSU using TWRP.
Trying to update SuperSU using TWRP tells me 'No apps configured'
Now I am worried about the best procedure.
Should I go back to stock and start again or re-install TWRP or what?
I thought I would ask for some expert help before flying off half cocked and getting everything to go tits up!
Expert advice would be most appeciated.
Regards
p.s. The TWRP folder and backup remains although the app has pushed off.
This is my first time rooting and ive googled all that i can, forgive me if i dont understand right away.
I rooted my L90 D415 TMobile with lollipop 5.0.2 using this on youtube: watch?v=mQoERPnQ8Qk method but with LG One Click v1.3.
Everything went fine and it ended up rooted. And then I went on to install Flashify and flash TWRP with it so that I could install Xposed Framework. I then followed this on youtube: watch?v=bet8K238SSk method to install Xposed. Finished that method and rebooted and I still had root and i also had xposed activated.
The problem started when my phone kept reading low storage space when I had plenty of space, space i usually have left. I remember reading that this was a problem. I followed the method right with Clearing CACHE/Dalvik after flashing xposed zip in TWRP, just like everyone said so I was confused as to why I got it.
So rebooted into TWRP with Flashify and cleared Cache and Dalvik again and rebooted back into system and it still said low storage space and it also said "there is no su binary installed, supersu cannot install it" root checker told me the root wasnt installed right and that my phone was no longer rooted. Now i cannot get into twrp through flashify to flash my recovery either. I am worried because this is my very first time rooting.
I just need my root back.
Can someone please help me and keep it in dumb terms because im new and dont understand all the Root lingo.

Don't feel too bad. We all had to go through it at one time. It took me about 10 days to realize what all it took to do this so I didn't hard brick my phone.
This storage space can become a problem due to the fact that Android only allows certain amount of space for /system partition. With a stock ROM, its almost crammed full then. Add Xposed to it, and I'm surprised the app framework installed.....anyhow...can you boot normally into your OS? If so, use this method to obtain root....I know it says for G2, Flex G2, and G3, but this works for most LGs including the 415. It's the method I've used several times without problem.....http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-root-lg-g-flex-2-g2-g3-on-lollipop/
Let me know if that works.

Hello everyone... I just bought at&t note 3 unlocked version. Problem is that its on kitkat 4.4.2 and doesnt show any ota update so can anyone please provide me a link of stock rooted at&t lollipop rom which i can flash and root method with a proper guide please? I would be very thankful.
What you do is root what you have, install Towelroot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952593961 (open the app and click "make it rain" and it's rooted). Install Supersu and Busybox, then Safestrap https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952593962, open it and install it and this is rooted lollipop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2. Just one thing, (not saying you will) but flash the OC1 Kernel in Safestrap before you leave Safestrap. " 5. Flash the file called "SM-N900A_OC1_Kernel_Safestrap_Installer.zip" which is located under /sdcard/OC1_Kernel/ "
Hey Rooted, i have a 1.39gb file on my ext sd card called SM-N900A_0C1_Lollipop_Rooted_rom.zip, is it safe to delete this if i already have rooted oc1? or do i need it to flash safestrap? Also, for the past few weeks my oc1 rooted note 3 has been randomly rebooting itself in the middle of me using it, then entering a bootloop until it successfully boots up. Then sometimes when it successfully boots up, it reboots itself right when i put my password into the lockscreen. Sometimes clearing the cache doesnt help, i clear it multiple times for it to work. The other day i clicked the end button on a phone call, and right when i ended the call it rebooted itself. im lucky it didnt reboot during the call, i was on the phone with a towing company lol! Any idea whats going on?
If it's rooted, yea you can delete the file then. Do you have Xposed install, flash anything else with Safestrap, did you do a clean install of the Rom? When did the rebooting start, after you installed an app?
I do not have xposed framework installed, i heard its not compatible with the oc1 root. I never flashed any custom rom, im running just a stock rooted rom. Im not sure exactly when the rebooting started, its been going on for 2-3 weeks, i cant remember what i did before that. Last night i swapped sd cards to make sure it wasnt that, but i already had 1 random restart today. Do you think swapping sim cards is a good idea?
