Ok, so... I'm not new to rooting, but i AM new to rooting a nexus 7.
I had it all rooted and installed Baked's new ROM, and it gave me superuser permission when I booted into the OS the first time.. but then I restarted the nexus and bam. root was gone, superuser no longer worked... had to reload my backup of my original rom, root is back again.
I'm running CWM touch as recovery (latest update) had OTA voodoo rootkeeper (which won't help though because its a fresh install right?)
Can anyone tell me what is going on? I'm a bit lost... usually when you root. You are rooted. period. This is a new game to me.
Use this program to root it again mate:

On the top left corner, it lets you choose your model and ROM.
Just choose custom ROM for any non official ROM's.

thanks! just downloaded it ... any suggestions on a great ROM? i've tried a few, but there are so many. lol!
update youre superuser or supersu app. i suggest you get the supersu app from the market since superuser is a bit buggy on jelly bean. open the supersu app, itll ask to update the binaries, do it. no need wasting your time "rerooting".
No worries, glad I could help Unfortunately, I've not ventured into the different ROM's yet. Should really....... So I can't recommend any. Sorry Though I do like the look of the ones that have the real tablet UI, might try one of them in a few days.....
Though you know what your doing, if you do need any help, you know where I am
If you could press the thanks button mate, I would really appreciate it Cheers

after you do it(supersu), with a root file explorer like root explorer go to /system/app/ and delete the superuser.apk and reboot.

yup. it works, but with minor issues. supersu is working flawlessly. another thing to do is update your busybox, stericsons busybox updater in the play market works well, and is free.

with any nexus device, there really isnt a "rooting". from scratch all you need to do is fastboot oem unlock(bootloader), fastboot flash a custom recovery, and either flash the su binaries or a custom rom in your recovery. no root toolkits needed. thats whats awesome about any nexus.

As we know, now we have a clockworkmod port for our Desire HD. It is fully functional and working. It is an awesome thing to be able to flash a custom rom and kernels onto our device.
but the question is, will there be a one click solution or a simpler way to have a custom recovery without downgrading to ENG hboot like now is required to push a custom recovery onto our device..
- will Desire HD have a total ROM Manager support as in just install clockworkmod recovery via ROM Manager like HTC Desire and others?
- or will there be something like Unrevoked where its a one click of having a total free custom recovery onto our device..
the issue is, not everyone is smart enough to perform the risky hboot downgrade and pushing clockwork manually.. a simpler solution would be very handy. This is so that newcommers could just root via Visionary perma root and then sorta like download rom manager via market and then just install CWM without downgrading hboot
Thanks for your answers
I doubt it very much....maybe rom manager will recognised the
DHD from default.
A clockwork app mmm usful..
But again I cant see it..
Root
S 0FF
Android SDK
Fastboot/adb shell
Clockwork
Thats the way I went...I do agree that an easier method would help the newbies..
What is needed is an all in one app - Now that would be fun to build..
I think the Devs are far to busy with custom roms and kernels hahaha
Not as Im complaining...
We'll see...

btw, why does clockwork needs to be pushed rather than like previously a device (htc desire) clockworkmod can be installed via using rom manager directly.. is it that rom manager still dosent support Desire HD?
true indeed, a click by click software that automates like unrevoked would be very handy.. afterall.. not everyone is an advanced user to perform those brick risking methods
I also wish an easyer way was possible as I really want to push a custom Rom and kernal but just a kernal will do for me. Is there any you tube videos that show you step by step to put a kernal on dhd? If not would some1 find the time to do this? This would help newbies like myself to feel more comfortable.

indeed.. i almost forgot about that...
this thread is dying
Not ony that, I do recall having read that removing those system apps does not give you free space to use, so there is no big reason why you should do it....
On topic:
I have my DHD now for a couple of weeks.....never had android before....I had overclocked my DHD when kamma released one of his kernels and visionary temp root was available It worked fine.
Now I have been out for 1,5 week and just continued reading again the day before yesterday.
I must say, I do read the topic I am interested in completely, so (almost) every post, just to get a feeling of potential issues or get some idea of what to do, if...
So although I am new to android, the great threats in the developer forum have given me a reasonable understanding of what to do, how to do it, and what risk there is.
With that, I have perm rooted my DHD, got S-off, installed clockwork mod and flashed leedroid's rom on my DHD. All done yesterday and the day before, without problem.
Am now considering if I will OC again of just leave it as is for now....
just read carefully, don;t just take the 1st post in the dev section, but read through the topic to understand potential issues....The topic creator is in now way responsible for you not reading properly or failing to understand the implications.
But Yes, a one click solution would be handy, although I prefer to have it done this way, as I now have a little better understanding of what actually happens, rather than, hey, I flashed this rom ...

I think you'll see little to no improvement at all...
For me, I used the 'freeze' option in Titanium rather than uninstalling them. It makes my apps menu tidier, and there must be at least a slight improvement in speed as less stuff is running in the background now.
so guys, do you think anyone will come out with a simpler way to flash custom rom soon?

My next question is, am I still rooted once I updated to 2.2 ?? The Market doesnt seem as extensive as it was when I was rooted on 2.1

root and Market are not related. You need to change your phone fingerprint to the Nexus 1 to show all the protected applications again as Google does not recognize the DK28 fingerprint.
However, you need to be rooted to edit the file. See the following thread for the fingerprint. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848778

One way to check is to open up a terminal and type "su"
To get root back, use the one click installer.

Or flash a Tom to get all the apps. If you want to find out if your rooted just download titanium from the market. As soon as you open it it will say asking for root rights.

To tell if you're rooted - install an app like Titanium Backup, which needs root to function properly. If you're not rooted, there won't be access to the market.
For root if you've lost it, your best option may be to install a custom ROM, which are usually pre-rooted. Besides, most custom ROMS are better than what comes stock. Which custom ROM will depend on your needs.
LOL. If you have read the EH06 bug thread you know that I was having problems with getting Busybox to install. Well thanks to belyakov1976 finding that there wasn't enough space in system I was able to get busybox installed. So I did a fresh odin and installed busybox and all was fine right? Wait a minute I forgot to install SU. How did that work? I confirmed that Superuser was not installed. I installed Root Explorer and mounted the system RW. I had installed CWM so to rule that out I did a fresh Odin again and this time I installed Busybox without doing anything else, other than deleting Asphalt and Free Games to free up space. So for whatever reason this leak is already rooted.
That is beyond peculiar lol. Was it the tar directly from Samfirmware?

I'm not sure I really like this pre-rooted business. With SuperUser I get to approve or deny root and get a notification when an app is doing something which requires it. On EH06 I don't get any indication an app is doing something which requires root, unless like shoot me it is checking for SU first and telling me it can't find it, but those would be good apps. A bad app could take advantage of this in a malicious way :/

No , you can mod build.prop and you can install the apk but you won't get it to work. It is even present in the framework but again, no it won't work.
That needs to be done in the building process of the rom. One more reason to go custom
Ask MD , it is even a pain to get it working on custom rom. It all got to do with signing the correct apk's before you build the rom.
So don't waist your time or mess up your system it is not going to happen.

Hi everyone!! Im new to this forum so bare with with me. I recently bought an acer iconia A500 4.0.3 ics (leak). I rooted it with blackthunde, but then I dident like the root sooo I found a utube video that said " unroot all android devices universal", i did what they said, which was" to remove the su files and the remove superuser and then boot" however; superuser did not remove from my devic. I used the root checker to c if it worked and i guess it did because now it saids "not rooted" sooo my question is: how do i get my tablet back to the state when I first bought it? or can i remove the superuser manually? but instead of it saying uninstall it saids "remove all updates". i dont know what to do, please can someone explain how to get it to brandnew and leave no trace of root..... thank you...
First this should be a question by itself.
But I will try and help you out bud.
To get to stock you must find a ROM that is stock then flash it.
If you want absolute stock that is beyond me as I've never looked into it in ics
What ROM are you on now? if you are just rooted just factory data reset and you should be happy where it is at.
If you are trying to sell it let me know!. as any another reason to go to stock I don't know why you would..
I don't understand your post really..

Well, probably because superuser apk was placed in the /system/app folder and you don't have /system rw permissions anymore.. Can't remove it unless you're rooted with /system RW access.
If you want it really back to stock condition, grab one of the update ICS files from the Dev section, decrypt it, pull the update.zip from it. Copy the update.zip to your ext SD, and boot holding Vol+ and PWR. Should install the update.
Note there are 2 update ICS files, so of one doesn't work, try the other. This will put a stock ICS back on your tab.
If it goes well that is

All the credit goes to @geohot for amazing root by just an apk
1. Install apk
2. Make it rain
3. Phone will reboot
4. install Super SU from play store
5. Sit back and relax
For TWRP use this How To Install TWRP Recovery On LG G2 Running Android 4.4.2 Kitkat
Hope this helps

Hey, I have a D806 model. It's with JB and when I hit the manual update check it says something like "Device not registered yet".
What's best to do? First update and then root or the other way round?

Well, first of all, after you root, NEVER take an OTA update or you'll brick. That being said, although the previous way mentioned is easier, I'd suggest getting used to adb and its miracles. Check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869 for a guide on how to root with adb. Adb is very useful if you screw something up.
As for the order in which to do things, it's basically up to you. I believe the 806 is the same as the 802, so check that section out for stock ROMs and such, especially if you root first. It seems like you may have to update manually either way since you get an error while trying to OTA update.

My pleasure I'm actually really new to Android myself (got my first device in May) and it felt overwhelming at first but everyone on XDA and all the threads are so helpful.
I almost got a HTC One before deciding on the LG G2 and I just love it. Loooooooove it.

Thanks for the info! I have to say I miss the luxury feeling the HTC One has, but love the screen size of the G2!

Hey, I've already rooted it using adb. I thought I'd be fine with some Xposed modules, but I couldn't find many for the G2 so I think I'll end up installing a custom ROM based on KK stock, but since I'm in Jelly Bean I don't know how to do this (read somewhere I should flash a baseband of KK or somethings like that and got really scared haha)
Hope you can help me!
EDIT: Downloaded the Kitkat baseband and CloudyG3 ROM. I don't have TWRP because I can't find the file for D806. I'd appreciate if someone could guide me to the right direction!

Hey! Tomorrow I'll be receiving a new LG G2 and I'm wondering what's the first thing I have to do in order to root it.
I always used HTC and Moto devices so I have quite an experience in unlocking bootloaders, but in the guide for rooting I red here, your don't have to unlock the bootloader or anything like that in order to root it, is that right? Is any step I should do before trying to root?
Thanks for your help in advance!
