I think I rooted, how can I tell? - Hero, G2 Touch General

I followed 42turkeys' excellent How To Root and everything seemed to work as it should. I then used the ROM and root updates from andrewb84uk and they went on OK with no apparent problems. Andrewb84uk has since seemed to lose faith in his own ROMs, although other users, like me, are happy with what he's done. My phone seemed to be working fine, I can boot into recovery mode, and I really like some of the new features on 2.1.
So, my question is this; how can I tell that the root worked OK? I never really investigated the OS too much when it was running 1.5, so I'm not sure I'd spot too many of the subtle differences. Also, it is an updated OS, so any change I see may simply be an update rather than the result of root.
Does simply the fact that I can boot in recovery mode confirm that root is successful?

Go to the android market and type in Screenshot in search...
Download the app and see if it works...
If it does your rooted!
It it doesn't your not rooted!

See below...

It works! Many thanks...

Which ROM are you using? I believe this is one of the "bugs" in certain custom ROMs.

Thx for helping..
Thx for the help 318 viewers..
Retrace your steps.
What apps did you install that caused this issue to arise?
Maybe it is pocketCM? or some settings that have to do with it.
Try recalibrating your screen, maybe it is out of place abit. But now that you are in the ppc community you should learn to take caution of your device and learn to troubleshoot as you go.

Hi,
Same thing happened to me. There are 3 problems;
First is that you do not have enouch battery power to run RDS.
Second is that you have to load SBF file again with RDSLite.
Third is that you have to unlock your bootloader not to have the same situation.
But to make you feel happy, I can say that your phone is not bricked.
We shall go step by step for your problems. First of all, do you have second battery or can you supply it because it is necessary to overcome second and third problem ?

Hi,
Please use search.
Thanks,
I'm having the same problem "failed to boot 2". Minus the battery part.
I did all the following steps a few months ago to update to the new gingerbread firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
Claims I would have an unlocked bootloader, root, and CWM. Which, I have root, CWM, and evidently still on a locked bootloader per a post I read on androidforums.
I'm lost as I've been reading so much that I've done confused myself on what I should actually do, and feel worse off than I was before I started reading.
Overall, my phone works fine. I just wanted to flash a different ROM. I'm just not sure where to start to fix my problem (redo all the steps in the post I linked up, or flash a whole other SBF file). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Turbo Bootloader Update
​
Now that we have root, the next step is having the bootloader unlocked, right? Well here is an app to keep track of just that. It may look a bit familiar to some of you...
Are you stuck at work and want to know if we have bootloader unlock? Are you away from a computer? Did you just kill a man and you can hear the sirens in the distance.. knowing they are coming to get you.. and need to know before you're canned.. "do we have bootloader unlock?" Then this is the app for you.
I decided to change up the root checker app to the bootloader checker to keep hope alive. There are still some working on it. Furthermore, there is a latest news section so that you can get a little more information than a yes or no. I also specifically chose to put this in the Droid Turbo General forum because it's mostly informational. Not much Turbo Related development going on here. Check it out!
Initially, I was messing around with Google's new Material Design standards I decided to throw this together. I then was messing around with parsing json in lua with Corona's SDK and decided to modify the original app. It'll be updated the moment the bootloader has been unlocked.
For those of you who aren't aware:
ROOT IS HERE! Go get it! Tutorial is here. Post is here.
Nice work man, lets hope this app is only useful for a few days just like with the root version!

Locked Up Unroot

Hello All,
I was attempting to unroot a Sprint Galaxy S4, everything looked good but the Sprint boot screen just sits there and nothing happens.
I hunted for literally 2 hours to try and find a STOCK Sprint 5.0.1 android ROM with no luck. I found rooted ones and other flavors but not a working link to a real file.
I would appreciate it if someone could send me a good link to this ROM....
Thanks!

Thanks for the link!
This did eventualy work but...
I was able after 3 attempts to flash this but certain things aren't working as expected.
As an example when I go to change the ringtone lets say, instead of having a menu, it opens up a file explorer, this happens in a few other sections.
Any suggestions?
thanks!

MyCricket app and root

I rooted my G5 Plus a few months ago, and I just put HavocOS on it yesterday. It took some research but I have everything working except the MyCricket app. This has never worked with root. It ignores Magisk Hide, it doesn’t care if I’m connected to WiFi, or if I have an active SIM installed. It just doesn’t load and says I’m not connected to a network. Is there any way to get around this? It’s not very important that I get into the app, it’s more of a personal annoyance at this point that I can’t figure out how to make it work with root. Any and all help is appreciated.
Here’s the error the app gives

Kernel?

I haven't done anything with the kernel. If any changes were made, it would have been by the install of HavocOS. I would think it's still stock though so I'm not sure if it's a kernel issue.

It could be due to bad VPN you use.

It's hardly a VPN, it's CloudFlare and the MyCricket app works just fine on my non rooted Nokia with the same app/VPN running.
I'm facing the same issue too, but on Moto G5S Plus. Have you been able to get around this issue?
