General :: Removing Superuser Without Root
May 29, 2014
I rooted my phone using Framaroot 1.8.1 and yes it was rooted successfully. Recently I updated my phone to version A706ROW_1_S_2_001_0018_130705, and because of this my phone became unrooted but still had superuser installed. I would like to re-root my phone using Framaroot again but it cannot be rooted due to superuser. How my unrooted phone with superuser's presence be removed completely.

It seems that I accidentally changed the ownership of the su file to "system, sdcard_rw" and now I have no way to change it back to "root, root". Everything was working fine beforehand. I have already attempted to reroot using the same way I originally rooted the device and hard reset with no luck.
My phone information
Phone: LG Optimus Slider
Android version: 2.3.4
Carrier: Virgin Mobile

I just downloaded CM7.2 on my Galaxy551, using this thread URL....The phone has root, but it gives root access to everything without superuser prompting.I tried to update the su binary but it stops at "Making sure new su works". It just freezes there.

How to make android 4.0.4 devices rooted by superuser?
I open my superuser:
downloading manifest okay
parsing manifest okay
latest version 3.1.1
checked install version 3.1.1
fixing database okay
unpacking sutools okay
check current install path= /system/xbin/su
Downloading new binary okay
gaining root access fail
I have my device rooted by means of UnlockRoot, at first I think the version of superuser is low. So I download Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip , exact it and replace the old version superuser and su .
I click the root on the software and it seems that everything work. But the fact is that I can't find superuser in my android devices and manually install superuser by myself. And then the phenomenon above appears. It seems that I have rooted the devices and I can't get root access. It is more dangerous than I don't root the devices.

Here is the scenario:
Motorola Droid - Original
1. Rooted 2.1, then
2. OTA Stock Update to 2.2, then
3. Seem to have lost root, However - I still have the Superuser Permissions Icon.
I use Barnacle for WiFi Tether - I get a "Permission Denied" error when I try to start the application. I also went into the terminal emulator and tried an "su" which also gave a permission denied response. I tried "sudo" and also got permission denied response. Others have told me this is common with this progression of events. However, How do I now ROOT 2.2 in this scenario?

So I spent hours searching for the stock ROM for my HTC Desire 300, so that I could unroot it. Then I deleted the entire OS/Rom by mistake and was left with a brick. Finally, I managed to find this stock version. It's rooted, and has the same SuperSu error about updating. Is there any way for me to remove the root files from this zip? so that the phone won't be rooted when I flash the rom? Which files would I remove?
In the Zip I have the following items:
META-INF (Folder)
Boot (Disk Image File)
Recovery (Disk Image File)
System (Disk Image File)

Want to do a Hard Reset my rooted HTC Incredible, but I just realized looking through my apps that Superuser is an app. so after hard reset how do i get that app back. If I use a Titanium backup it should be in there right? I don't see it in my Titanium backup.

as the title says superuser and root for apps is not working. i installed BH_MAN's stock update rom (which was supposed to have root for apps, as far as i know) and cannot use apps requiring root. also superuser doesn't seem to actually be working. Can someone please help? everything else works great! I just need to use apps that require root.

I have the app "Superuser Permissions" BUT I don't see it in the Market as even existing. Also, I have been more seeing people mentioning "Superuser" app recently - like OMJ. Well, when you search "Superuser Permissions" in the Market they show the app "Superuser" and not "Superuser Permissions".. what's up with that? So, I tried to download "Superuser", but I get a Failed Installation app.

It seems that rooting the Fascinate and fixing the Google Search issue on the soft key and removing some bloatware is pretty easy, and I'm actually contemplating it once I get a Fascinate. Here are my questions: If I root the phone, I would not get OTA updates, when 2.2 came out? I would have to remove the root in order to get that OTA update to 2.2? To remove the root, I would enter the following into a command prompt on the phone or on my PC?
How To Remove Root
adb shell
su (its going to ask you for permission on your phone so hit allow)
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/xbin/busybox
rm /system/xbin/su
exit
Once I removed the root, the OTA update would just come up? Is there a difference between unrooting and returning my phone to stock? How to go back To stock - Android Forums.

Finally rooted my 2.2 leaked X. After going through the phone and renaming apps I wanted removed, certain ones are still there. Block Buster, News/weather and Social networking. I've cleaned the cache with cache cleaner and even done a battery pull. No go. I've even tried renaming them back to stock(apk)then back to bak.

I even tried flashing a custom rom (Fresh) on the last attempt and it just seems like it is giving me the Sprint stock Rom. Shouldn't the custom Rom look different? Once rooted do I still need to use Unrevoked method to grant superuser access for Apps?

I have already remove some Sprint applications using Fresh Kitchen. However in my settings/applications/manage applications page, I still see a few apps that I cannot remove like SprintTV Widget and Flickr.I also loaded Root Explorer and wanted to try and remove some app/files that are cluttering my Hero. Any suggestions what I can remove, some stuff in the manage application page?also looking for the folder that has the stock Sprint ringtones, I don't use them and want to remove also.

I have three devices:
Motorola defy
Nexus 10
Nexus 5
All can't install superuser, but superSU all work perfectly. The problem is everytime I tried installing superuser it says binaries not updated. I reinstall it again and again even by flashing its zip it's still the same thing.Is that because my custom recovery is TWRP not CWM? The reason I'd like to switch to superuser from SuperSU is that I think root program really needs to be open source.

I've just rooted my device (Nexus 5) with Chainfire auto setup and I've downloaded Superuser by Clockworkmod. When I opened it up, it showed a message saying that I needed to update the SU binary, I went back to the Play Store, I read the description and I found a link, that allows me to install it from a recovery files. Once I downloaded it I opened the app again using the recovery files, Android crashed and rebooted itself, but during the boot it showed a dead android image (the one with the red triangle). I've turned off my device (Nexus 5) and then I've reboot it, now all works fine. I'm terribly scared, what the hell happened? It's my fault or Superuser just crashed?

Recently I pull down the source code for Koushik Dutta's Superuser app. I made some changes in the source. This changes are the following:
1. SuHelper class now throws 2 kind of exceptions instead of one generic instance of Exception. I believe it is better for developing. Different exceptions, different reasons, different action to do when they are catched.
2. Fixes for several Lint's warnings.
3. Fixes in translation.
4. UI new features:
a) At the first screen you can long click at an item several actions are shown ("Allow/Deny" which changes the permission without deleting the permission, "Revoke permission", "Details" leads to the same screen as a simple click oat an item).
b) At the details screen for every item/application and new checkbox/switch added to allow/deny superuser permission.
c) At settings screen miscellaneous settings added which refer to the pop-up dialog about the outdated su binary.
see the attached photos from the modified application.
I would like to ask 2 questions now:
1. Do you think that these changes are useful to you?
2. Should I pull the current HEAD of the from the repository or simply commit and push my changes?

Is there a way to have the superuser name included on the Settings list? Was thinking of doing the same thing on a stock rom or custom rom for ICS or Jb.

I recently awoke my Galaxy Nexus (takju) from the lockscreen; inadvertently pressing the key combo [vol-up + vol-down + power] initiating a 'Bug Report' (dumpstate) command
Upon entering the Homescreen I was seeing the infamous 'shell has been granted Superuser permissions' toast ~2 seconds apart which lasted ~2 minutes, subsequently vibrating and opening a new message in Gmail containing 2 files - bugreport-date-time.txt and Screenshot_date-time.png (Sent from BugMailer).
This 'toast' has been reported in various device forums/threads and I thought this may shed some light; whether it was a dumpstate command initiated by an inadvertent key combo (as in my case) or a system/app crash bugreport.
If you have experienced this 'toast', check your internal storage (sdcard) for the - /sdcard/bugreports/bugreport.txt and /sdcard/Pictures(in JB)/Screenshot/Screenshot.png - the timestamp of the dump should be in the filenames.

How do you get rid of the stock apps when you are rooted but are still running the stock ROM 2.2.1? I have tried using Titanium Backup but I when I load it it comes up with a error message "can't gain root access". Check you're rooted (which I am) and are running a ROM with Busy Box (which I'm probably not)" Is Busy Box something that can be added onto the stock ROM or is their another option to remove these apps?

So I am wondering if we remove a certain permission from an app, does the app still have the ability to use that permissions?
Example: Pandora can read contacts list, I remove that permission from the APK, Can Pandora still read my contact list?

My Wishlist that I am not able to get rid of. With most apps, I simply click on the menu part and I am able to Install or add to wish list, or to remove from wish list. But these two apps (Buzzfeed and Mokriya Craigslist) will not remove. I had them on my wishlist, installed them directly from My Wishlist, and then got tired of them. I uninstalled them, but now the only option for me is to Install them; I cannot remove them from my wishlist.
I tried to see if I could do it on my computer on the GP store, but i cannot. There is simply no box to the right of Install like there is in other apps.

I currently have a DROID Bionic and I gave my son a HTC Rezound for his birthday today. I wanted the phone to have a few apps and a few tweaks so I signed in with my Google account and went to the Play Store. After he opened it and added his Google account I was unable to remove mine.
