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 All,
I used to be on RoDrIgUeZsTyLe MUIU rom and bunch of other custom roms. Every rom has its ones pros and cons but were not very stable. So, I thought I will go back to stock. So, I flash stock rom and stock recovery and received OTA update and installed the updates. Now my phone is on the below version.
Android Version 2.2.1
Build Number - FRG83D
Market Version - 2.12
Baseband Version - 32.26.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
I was able to successfully download and install many apps but whenever I try to download YouTube I always get "Installation of Youtube unsuccessfull" message. Also, I researched and saw that some people in Europe on Vodafone rom are having this issue. How do I know if my android version is totally stock?
Do you guys have any ideas on how I can successfully install this app without having to root my phone again? I would like to stay stock and unrooted if possible.
Thanks.
use titanium or manually uninstall the current youtube app, reboot then try to install again. Its because its a system app currently. youll probably have to do the same for car home, street view and a few others
I am un rooted, so I won't be able to use titanium. how do I uninstall manually though? I didn't have any issues installing other apps like street view etc.
Make sure the app is installed on your phone, and unmount the SD before updating...

I tried un mounting SD card and installing and still that didn't work. Thanks for trying to help though.
Try uninstalling the old version of YouTube first.

....if you do not have root access how were you flashing an miui rom?
I was getting the exact same thing as you were, all you need to do is remove the old youtube app
good luck
Thanks for the responses. Like I said in my post I was rooted before but un rooted and went to complete stock 2.2.1. I know uninstalling youtube would resolve this issue but I am trying to find a way to uninstall the app without being rooted.

Has anyone had a problem with the intial setup for Good for Enterprise on custom Android ROMs? I installed it (using an issued PIN) on stock eclair on my Captivate and it worked fine. I then rooted, backed it up via TIBU and restored on Froyo and it still worked fine. The same process worked recently on Gingerbread. However, I have tried multiple custom Froyo ROMs and 1 GB recently and if I try the initial setup (with a new PIN) on anything other than stock eclair (even rooted), it will stop at "retrieving policies" and never complete. I then have to ask for a new PIN from my IT support and revert to eclair and finish the setup, backup, and restore on the later custom ROMs. Has anyone seen this and have any idea why? My IT support has no idea. I am not in a policy checking for root access and it does continue to work with root.
EDIT: I wonder if it is that the device name used in build properties is referenced during that step and it fails due to an unknown device...
Also, I have found that after I have it working after a certain PIN used, if I ever restore to an ealier point (due to a theme gone wrong, etc) then it stops syncing even if the restore point is AFTER I had it working with that PIN. It seems like the local software either is exchanging a dynamic password with the server or there is a message index, etc that has to be in sync. Any thoughts?
When in the Good setup screen, go to Menu>Device Info. Does the Phone number appear? I've been using CM7 just fine with Good but after the last few nightlies, Good no longer works. The phone number doesn't appear in the device info. Good thinks there is no phone network present.
I am a heavy Good user, unfortunately also addicted to changing ROMs on a frequent basis. I have never had an issue with Good running on any ROM, just on restoring from TiBu. I can flash new kernels, themes, etc, and Good works just fine. If I re-flash the same ROM, it resides and works just fine. It is only when flashing a new ROM I have problems. Good appears to restore OK, but won't pull new emails to the inbox. I ave to get a new PIN and re-install.
Same here.. i am addicted to flashing as well.
I tried Titanium backup to backup and restore to new ROM, but somehow Good just keep crashing after i put in my password.
I am sure I can ask for new pin, reinstall and what not.. but how often can we ask IT people (for my company at least) for new pins, until one day they may say, bugger off you ROM addict!
Finally figured it out, I think. The trick is to NOT have Good running in persistent mode when you do the backup with TiBu. IOW, reboot and backup with TiBu before you start Good and log in. I did that the last couple of new ROMs and it restored and worked just fine.

GOOD for Enterprise on Imito AM801 Tablet
I am also getting the Phone network is off. This is a tablet and does not have any phone piece or sim card installed. No hardware is even inside the tablet. Has anyone ran accross this issue on tablets?
This works for me.

Good with custom roms
Just to share a recent experience on that topic:
I wanted to have a custom rom but need GFE for my work which of course has a policy of no root with GFE.
So after a little research and useful info from this forum I figured a very simple way to do it, as long as you don't consider root as critical for your day-to-day stuff
1. Install your custom rom which most likely requires rooting
2. Install SuperSU from the Play Store and use it to remove root completely
3. Install and activate GFE
That's it!
Hoope this helps someone else how got a little scared to have to go through scripts and stuff to do this

Does this still work?
I too need GFE on my Galaxy S4 but am sick of the poor battery life. I tried SlimKat and Google Play Edition roms, and removed root using Super SU in both cases. But GFE gives a message "Not supported for this type of Handheld". . Not sure if GFE is looking for a TW based ROM.
I will give it another go using Carbon ROM. Still, any other advice / experience on getting GFE working on a custom ROM would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You quoted a 1 year old post, might be hard to get a reply. Also this is for the S1, while the app (GFE) might be the same, the ROMs definitely aren't.
That being said, chances are that the app was updated to prevent that workaround. You could flash a TW based ROM and test it though.
Thanks for the reply. I will try posting a fresh question in the Q&A thread in case anyone has more recent experience with GFE. Cheers.

There is an xposed module for this.
Hi, are you referring to Wanam Xposed which has a "fake official system status" functionality?
As I understand, Xposed needs root, but Good for enterprise doesn't work on a rooted handset. Can Xposed work without root?
Also Wanam Xposed is meant to work with TW based ROMs whereas I don't want to go back to TW based ROM unless it is extremely light.

I'm a bit confused here, Custom ROMs are pre-rooted. Therefor, if you're not on TW, you're rooted.
And yes, Xposed does require root. As for Wanam, I duno if it works on AOSP but best way to know is you try
Thanks for replying.
Supersu has a Full Unroot functionality which removes root.
Yes I will try, but every failed attempt sends an email to office admin so I have to be prudent.

The link above mentions that root is required while installing XPosed, but later it can perform without root. Is this correct or not?

I have never personally tried it without root but you can test that fairly easily. I expect it would depend on the module you're using, some require more permissions than others.
I tried it out but it didn't work.
I have to go back to stock ROM
I'm wondering if anyone has had success with magisk on the note 4 on epg2 or epe3. I'm currently running AICP on EPG2, 910T on T-Mobile. I wasnt able to find anything in the forums about whether Magisk will work.
It doesn't look like Niantic is going to pull safetynet from the game, and I'd rather not unroot. Anyone tried it? And if so, what Rom did you start with? I was thinking of flashing a deodexed rooted Rom, unrooting, then flashing magisk. Would that work, or do I need to start with a completely stock, unrooted Rom?
Any advice is appreciated!
Well, if anyone else is interested, I've successfully installed magisk, systemless root, and root toggle works perfectly. I even got it to work with ACIP rom, which is a cm13 build, on EPG2 baseband. About to install closed on top of it.

Hi all. Have used XDA for years but never posted.
I am looking for a completely stock ROM with GPS joystick app pre installed as a system app for use with pokemon go.
Every ROM I've used even a stock ruu then rooting with magisk, using magisk hide etc fails on me giving me the os unsupported error.
Has anyone made a ROM for this or anyone got a working joystick with pokemon go that can make a twrp backup to upload
