I'm a little confused guys.
I pretty much followed the instructions for part 1 and 2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12631216&postcount=2911
I flashed my phone back to 1.2.6 then ran the before update script. Then updated, then ran the after update script. I am able to download .apk files and run them without being pestered. But I tried to run boot strap, and nothing would happen when i hit "Recovery boot". I know the gignger blur installation instructions says to make sure I'm plugged in to an AC charger so I did. Didn't work. I plugged it into my car charger. Didn't work. Tried my USB cable connected to the PC for sh*ts and giggles, but still nothing.
So I though maybe my phone isn't rooted properly? I googled a little and found this: http://androidforums.com/32282-post3.html
I installed the terminal app and ran su and it said permission denied. But I think I am able to access /data/app-private (I type in cd /data/app-private and it doesn't do anything so I assume I'm in the app-private directory, no?)
...So I guess I'm just here to ask, am I going in the right direction to check to see if my phone is rooted? Any other way of checking to see if I'm rooted correctly? I'm not exactly looking for the easy way, I'm looking for the correct way.
Any help is appreciated =)
If you are properly rooted, there will be an application called Superuser in your app tray.

I have that app, how come when I su in terminal it denies me permission?
Open up Superuser and make sure it is in your "allow" list.

When I open up superuser it only says "No apps in list" under my Apps tab. And hitting the menu button (the button with the 4 squares) does nothing whenI'm in the Apps tab.
Strange... So when you type "su" in the terminal, does it give you a pop-up to allow superuser access?

Nope, just says "Permission denied"
Try switching usb settings from none to storage then back to none, and also uncheck usb debug and recheck it. I know when I updated my phone to restore root that is what I had to do or I would get premission denied.

Still no luck, I think I might have lost root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12685034&postcount=3303 )
How do you even loose root?
Yes, you don't have root. I was in a similar situation when I first tried the Mac version of aRoot. There was a bug in the script so I didn't actually get rooted, but it installed superuser anyway so I thought I was. Anything that requires root will simply fail.

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

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.

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.
I rooted yesterday, flashed a GB rom, and going to use the ShootMe app it's saying I'm not rooted and won't connect. Does flashing unroot the phone?
Unless you flash a stock update then flashing will not unroot your phone. All custom ROMs are rooted unless otherwise noted.
The easiest way to see if your still rooted is by opening up terminal and typing "su" without the quotes. It should change to a pound sign - if it say access denied then something went awry.
Code:
$su [ENTER]
#
That's how it should look.
Says Terminal Emulater was grandted superuser permissions but shootme still says it's not rooted. Signs that during the restore of the app something went wrong?
Check superuser to see if the app is being granted permission

^ that worked. Thanks. I have another small issue and dont want to make another thread so hopefully someone can help with this as well... How do I take apps that are installed on the sd card and move them back to the phone itself?

go to the app you wanna move, tap on it and then tap on move to phone
Hello,
I have just rooted my samsung galaxy tab. I have lost 180 holiday foto's en i read that with Hexamob, yu can get them back. But when i start that app , it says that i don't have root permissions. Fix this from your superuser app.
I rooted my tab. I have got superuser, but still it doensn't work.
Can anyone tell me what i have done wrong.
Are you sure the app has root permission? If you aren't, open Superuser, and "Hexamob Recovery" must be in the "allow" list.
If it's not there, open Superuser, then (without killing Superuser) open "Hexamob Recovery" (a prompt from superuser will pop) and allow root permission.
finally i got soperuser working. something with the permission for usb controlling.
But I still can find my device in Hexamob. Normally I can use recuva to get delete files back, but that also doens't work. It also doesn't see my divice. Is there another way to get deleted files or foto's back, from a tablet?
Maybe you could try another app, e.g.: Undelete
Is there als o a way, that you can connect your tablet to your pc en use your pc to searce throw your tablet?
When i connect my tablet on my pc i can see and open the folders on my tablet, but i can't use any programs to searce throw the tablet
Not compatible with Tab.

It's something to do with mtp mode and the tab not being mass storage recognized by the PC. I've seen a thread where Misledz dealt with this. Can't remember if it was ever resolved but some searching might get you some more info about it being possible or what solution, if any they came up with.
Hope this helps.

I have tried this and everything says that the phone is rooted, however, when I open apps they are not asking for permission. Is there something else that I need to do? Apps that work only on rooted phones are working fine so I am kind of stumped. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

That's the way it works and part of the reason the exploit is scary, apps don't ask for permission.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I have SuperSu installed and I do get prompts for granting or denying apps permission, but yeah if you don't have a Superuser access management tool, apps are granted root permissions immediately. If you don't want that custom boot logo and that's why you uninstalled SuperSu (if you even had it), you can use Wanam exposed and Xposed framework to fake system status and set it to official.

I have SuperSU installed and that is what is confusing me. Sometimes it asks me to grant permission for apps I open and then other apps will open without asking any permissions.

Do the apps that open without notification need root permission? If they don't they won't ask for it.

Here is what i am trying to do...I used to be able to get music from Google Play to Doubletwist with my rooted phone. I had to unroot it and then root it again. Doubletwist used to ask for permission, however now does not. Nor will the music move over. Long story short, that is what I am working on. Unsuccessfully, I might add. Last time I rooted the phone, I used the SD Card method and this time I used towelroot. Not sure if that would make a difference or not.
Thanks and all credit to Nameless One for the heads-up!
As found here - run this adb command to get changes to survive a reboot:
Code:
adb shell reboot disemmcwp
It seems there's system write protection enabled. That command will disable it. I changed my DPI and emojis and can confirm that both changes stuck!

Nice find, I'll be adding this thread to my Guides / Info Thread....
Thank you dude
Cool Awsome!! Now my phone is working properly with ROOT.
Is this step still needed? Been following the links on DrakenFX's thread that lead me here.
Thanks guys. The dev is much appreciated as is the guide pulling everything together.

Whether it is done by a script (if so there should be clear indication that it does this so people know where they stand in the overall process) or by hand it still needs to be done, it is a completely separate issue from whether or not the boot-loader is unlocked or the phone rooted.
Already did it. :cyclops:
Is this only needed if your bootloader is locked but you still wanna root ?
Ugh, so this was the reason why I couldn't uninstall system apps even w/ a system app uninstaller....
So developer unfriendly :/
Haha needed to do this on the official root for EU as well.
Yay, thanks guys! got adaway running. Starting to feel like home again..now to backup it before I screw it up..

Boot into A7, enable developer options and enable USB Debugging, connect to computer, accept the computer's debugging signature on your A7 (if you've never gotten a pop-up that you've had to accept, it's not connected properly), type in "adb devices" in a command prompt to make sure that the device is showing up, and if it is, issue the OP's command.

When I plug the phone into the laptop, the phone has a popup that sks me which mode I want to use the phone.
I choose Media device MTP. I also tried the mode called connect to PC software. Both times, the phone is recognized by ADB.
yet it will not fix the permissions

Go into the app's permissions list and make sure that the Storage permissions is allowed.
If that doesn't work, then try using a different app all together.

I am thinking the problem is that ZTE put a lock on system files so no one can delete them or modify them.
There is suppose to be some kind of way to turn that off but I cant seem to do it on my phone.

Can you tell me if your phone is rooted? what update version si your phone? Mine is 27.
Did you do this permission fix before or after root? did you use an emulator to do the fix or adb?
