Basically i let the app "disable all bloatware" and went along everyday life for a few months
Fast forward to now, i installed and want to use an app that requires root access. But it fails. i investiage and see that SuperSU is disabled in the Package app, i try to enable it but everytime i enable SUperSU( or any app) in Package disabler, it re-enables itself a few seconds later.
I have tried;
1) To click "Enable all Disabled" but it then freezes my phone.
2)Uninstall Package disabler app, but all things disabled are still disabled ever after the uninstall.
3)Using an older version(fails to get authentication)
4)Re-installing SuperSU via Playstore uninstall/install (now visible to click on but says it "root undetected"
After doing step 4, i can see that there is no tick to say it is disabled in package disabler anymore but i still cant grant anything root access like titanium
If Xposed (and any module associated to xposed)still works then i assume i am rooted and something else is at play here?
Any Ideas on whats going on or on how to fix?
So, uninstall PDP and use Titanium Backup.
Same thing but for root so you can actually uninstall anything you want as well as freeze it.

Even Titanium is saying root access failed.
Im guessing something in PDP is blocking the root access grant message, even after uninstalling pdp, i still get root access errors.
Except for Xposed as that and Snappreffs(module) still works.

open supersu and change ("I forgot which 1") something about overlay and it should pop up asking for root access from apps again.

A window pops up only leaving me 1 option of "How to Root" and i cant do anything else.
Is it possible to lose root but still be able to have access/use to Xposed/Xposed modules?
Also if i uninstall PDP. Apps that are blocked by PDP, are still blocked

I rooted my phone with the G2 walkthrough in the forums. It had me install Superuser Permissions, which worked at first. Now when I try to use something that required root access it just tells me I do not have root access. When I open the super user program, it just sits at a blank black screen. When I open up a new app(like the 3 different screenshot apps I downloaded) the apps open and tell me I do not have root access. I do have root access because I can get Titanium Backup to run and it also requires root access. I cannot remove/uninstall Superuser Permissions to swap it with another working super user app.
I saw this article http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
I tried to install that app from the market and it fails to install(I assume due to the fact that I already have a super user app running). That said I cannot remove the installed app(thats not working). In that article it says to open terminal and type a "remount" command that may be different for each phone. I tried the command that they suggested(for his Nexus) but it did not seem to work on my G2.
So what do I do? Does anyone know what command I need to run from terminal to complete those directions to get a functioning Superuser app working? Does anyone know how to fix the existing "Superuser Permissions" app? Any suggestions?
try a reboot
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I already have. The Superuser Permissions app still only comes up with a black screen. No options when I hit "menu" and it does continue to stay active after I back out to the home screen as it does show up in the Task Killer list. That said, I am not getting a pop up that asks if I want to give an app superuser access. The apps that I alraedy had given permissions to(like Titanium Backup) still work fine, but no new app that require SU access will work.
Any other suggestions.

Have you tried clearing data for the Superuser app? See if that resets it to a working state.
did you do a perma root or temp root? If you did the Temp root, then the reboot caused you to lose your root. You need to re temp root then do the perma root.

Its perm root. I still have the temp root app on the SD card(not installed) but its perm rooted.

Well.. not only did that not work, it made it worse. Now my titanium backup(that I have accessed daily for weeks since I rooted my phone) tells me I am not rooted after I cleared the data from the super user program...
And...
Now when I go to terminal and type su I dont get the # anymore.. it says permission denied...
AND
I tried using Visionary for a temp root, and after it trys to temp root, I still cant access SU from terminal.
I have not updated my OS to my knowledge.
Any ideas?
Anyone have any insight into this??
At this point my phone basically isnt rooted anymore. I have even tried visionary and it seems to temp root but nothing works.. I can get SU in terminal etc....
Superuser Permissions is still installed but doesnt work.
I tried using Visionary to remove root. It says my phone doesnt appear to be rooted.
Soo at this point, my phone has none of the advantages of being rooted, yet it is technically rooted(because I cant re-root it the same way using visionary and terminal).
What can I do??
Try installing a new ROM if you already have clockwork installed.
just rooted the vibrant using superoneclick; noticeable slow in apps, not sure if i messed it up, nor i was sure if it's rooted
if i see superuser icon, it should mean that the phone's rooted right?
the write-up mention to download busybox, but all i get is an installer icon, is it a one-time installation or i have to run it everytime? my screen stops at "status: done!" and nothing happens after i click "install" at the bottom
adfree apps cannot connect to host
wasn't able to run root explorer
You might want to download Titanium backup as well. Make sure you "fix Permissions" as well. Without knowing what you rom you are running it's hard to give any other suggestions
Hello to everyone,
I own a Galaxy S5 G900F, (Unlocked Variant).
I have downloaded and installed LOLLIPOP AMBASADII.ODEX.V6.1 ROM with Aroma Installer and I am using Amplitude Kernel.
The rom came pre-rooted, with SuperSU Installed. I Only updated the app from the PlayStore. The program DID NOT prompt me for Binaries Update. I also have BusyBox installed.
When I check the root status with Root Checker, it says Success, which means there is root permission. Also, I checked it with Platinum Backup, and it also gives permission for root access. Finally, I downloaded a Root Browser, and that works fine as well.
The problem is with value-changing apps like game killer, game cih, haXplorer and game guardian. Although they prompt me to give permissions, and I chose "allow", none of them is able to work.
In game killer, it says "root privilage is needed"
In haXplorer, as soon as I open it is says "shutdown"
In game guardian, the program auto closes instantly.
All the above issues have to do with proper root Access.
So, how is it possible for programs like FX File Explorer (root), titanium (root), root checker and others to have root access, while others don't?
I would really like your answer on this, as I am trying for one week to solve this issue with no results.
Thank you.
Once you get root access, it is sytem wide, not by app.

Thank you for the reply. Yeah I know that, so what should be the problem?
Maybe you need an app to hide or cloak root status.
That such thing exists for Xposed framwork, but thus it is not comparible with 5.0 TW ROMs, you will have to downgrade back to 4.4.2 in order to use it.
I disabled and stopped the process, but Skype still appeared in Updates. I then went to developer options and set it to Inactive. Is this sufficient?

If you want to permanently uninstall it, then download Link2SD (works faster than Titanium Backup) and uninstall it there. Reboot your device and it should be gone. If the app is still there uninstall it again from the Link2SD app and then reboot again. It should be gone by then.
Give me a thumbs up if I helped.
It says it requires root.

U need root to uninstall it. Otherwise u can only disable it.
How do I root it?
So I successfully followed this guide for rooting my V20:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594
I now have SuperSU and TWRP on my phone. However, nothing actually works whenever I do anything root related. I can't uninstall any system apps with "System app remover", deleting anything in /system/app with "Root Browser" doesn't work, and even changing some buildprop settings with "BuildProp Editor" gives me an error that I don't have root. The SuperSU pop-up to grant access showed up for each of them, and I granted access for each of them, yet they still work as if I have no root. Although, checking my root with "Root Checker" or "Root Check" both say that I have root.
If it helps any, my software version is exactly "H91810d".
I'm not really a root wiz, so I'm not sure what to do now. Any help from here is greatly appreciated!
Fixed it
I have finally fixed it! Apparently I need to install BusyBox first to actually be able to do anything. I thought I already have it installed from the App Store; however, I apparently also need to install it by going to the BusyBox app, going to Installer, then installing it there to /su/xbin. For anyone with a similar problem, hopefully this will solve it. Cheers, and Merry Christmas!
