Root (of all evil). Help with Root Problem Please.

I used to have superuser/root running fine on my Vibrant. Busybox, titanium backup, everything worked.
I went to install RyanZA's lag fix (specifically the update.zip pack with a new superuser app, different busybox, etc someone else made) and started having troubles. The superuser requests were not working.
Now, I tried to go back to the original update.zip on this thread. I have the original Ninja superuser icon, etc. Now, when programs request SU, I can click allow or deny, the program hangs, and then I get:
"Sorry!
The appication Superuser Permissions (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
And my root access is denied.
I've restarted, used different superuser update.zips, all about 10 times each in different combinations. I can't get past this error.
Question: How can I erase all the root crap I have on my phone and start over fresh? I can't even terminal "SU" to enable superuser.

QUOTE OF THE DAY!!!
As for your issue, you may try contacting the person whose update.zip you used and ask what it modifies/any reported issues like yours, and how to fix it. That's your best bet I think.

Have you tried using Clockwork ROM Manager and restoring to a pre-lag fix state? This same problem happened to me when I tried to install the lagfix from an update.zip file that I tried to access by rebooting the phone while holding down the volume and power keys.
The only way I got the lagfix to install properly was to use Clockwork to restore using nandroid, then used the one-click method (connected to the pc, in debugging mode, etc.). Now everything is working perfectly.
BTW, I have read some folks posting that they can't tell the difference between stock and lagfixed... My experience is exactly the opposite. The Vibrant is *much* faster when lagfixed.

Clockwork was unable to work because superuser kept crashing. I couldn't do ANYTHING root related.
I did solve the problem though, so for anyone else that has the same issue with SU FCing:
Goto: Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - Menu button - Filter, Choose to show "all" - Find & choose Superuser Permissions in the list - CLEAR DATA.
This fixed the problem for me, hopefully this will help someone else!

I had this same problem (Clockwork couldn't fix permissions because Superuser Permissions kept FC'ing, and lots of google searching resulted in no help until I found this. Saved me from losing a few days of important text messages because I'm an idiot and hadn't backed up prior to doing a cognition update that didn't go well the first time around. THANK YOU!

worked! you the man my gee

Thanks man..
It seems that it happened when I uninstalled some apps. after that I connected my rooted Desire Z to PC, typed "adb shell" and "su" and.... "permission denied" appeared!
Went through some other apps, and none of them had root access! After rebooting phone, Superuser app crashed, and it kept crashing...
I cleared application data for Superuser app, and - voila! I got my root back again!
Thanks!

Have the droid charge. Superuser stopped working. All my apps started failing with "the application superuser has stopped unexpectedly". Clearing the data didn't do anything. I finally cleared data, uninstalled the superuser app and reinstalled it. Back up and running. Thanks everyone!

Been having issues with the most recent few ARHD ROMs (HTC Sensation), superuser force closing, etc. cleared SU data and all is well again! thanks.

Genie Widget errors

hello folks,
I was trying to make my news and weather widget have a transparent background and through some poor reading i deleted the app. I did backup the original up via Titanium Backup beforehand but when i went back to see if i could restore, i don't have that option. I've downloaded several Genie widget apps now and all will install but once opened give the "Sorry...The application News and...has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Any thoughts on how to get this going properly again. Any help is much appreciated

How are you trying to install? If it were me, I would adb push it to /system/app/ rather than trying to install .apk. Be sure that it is not installed in /data/app/ first. That might be what is creating this problem.

i was going through Astro and app installer with no success. I just tried to push the file but no dice there either, same error. I check /data/app and i actually have nothing in this folder...is that normal? I checked system/app and the app was successfully sent over but not working as i said earlier. I appreciate your help on this...i'm all ears to any other suggestions. thanks

you should have some data in /data/app unless you have absolutely no user apps installed and even then I'd expect some. Try using adb making sure that you've remounted /system as rw

[Support] Market FC [MODS, PLEASE DELETE THREAD]

Downgraded & rooted couple of days ago, removed some bloat, all ok.
Uninstalled a little more bloat today... but...
1. Can't remember what I uninstalled exactly.
2. Market launches ok, but whenever I click on an item within the market i get an instant force close every time.
Ideas? Help?
Thanks all.
Edit: I remember uninstalling download manager. Could that be it?
It's not here though, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036249, anyone have the apk?

Can you provide a logcat of the issue?

Not currently as I don't have a logcat app installed.
However, I'm sure it's related to the download manager I uninstalled using root Uninstaller.
Market is force closing on download links & anything I attempt to download using the browser throws up an empty zip folder.
I could really use the download manager apk to avoid having to reflash.
Thanks for any help.

Install a logcat app, run the error and paste the output here. It will help by debugging the issue.
I'm not too sure it has to do with the "download manager" app, since that is mainly related to the web browser. Market downloads follow their own route, as they are stored in the cache partition while they're being installed.

Ok, I'll get transfer a logcat app to my phone when i get back to my pc later.

Just type in "adb logcat" into adb do you want a copy of my download provider dazza??

Have you tried uninstalling the market updates? and trying again?

Thanks for the help lads but i can't do much 'till I get home later.
My market is stock since updating to 2.3.3

Thanks for that, just reinstalled & I'm now able to access market links without fc.
However, downloads are not working properly.
No fc but the download icon only briefly flashes up in taskbar but doesn't download.
I'm guessing that this is because I have setinstalllocation2.
Moved to phone via manage apps but still no joy.
When i get home I'll go back to setinstalllocation0 & reinstall so that they go to sys & I'll bet a penny to a pound that problem will be solved!

Ok, so, didn't work.
MArket is now not force closing but, as before any downloads started just result in a very brief flash of the download taskbar arrow then nothing.
Uninstalled updates to market, no luck, upgraded to new version market, no luck, however, i do now get an error downloading file notification.

Please delete post

Erm... Use pastebin.com, with Java notation. It's WAY more readable. For example: http://pastebin.com/02jK09Yr

Can't paste to it from browser so, once again, will have to later.
Did manage to install alogcat from an apk and pulled this just now.

Ok, so here's a couple of logs i took just now & submitted to pastebin.

Decided to flash.
MODS, PLEASE DELETE THREAD.

http://androidadvices.com/downloads/com.android.vendingAAD.apk

Also, are you running the new 3.0.27 that's been floating around the sites recently?
That version while running great on my phone, caused nothing but issues on my A500 - actually had to "uninstall updates" to get the market working right again (nothing would update, and some of the columns in the new design wouldn't lineup correctly) - I'd make sure you are still on the stock market for now.

uninstalled both markets and updates related to market using titanium,do i need to be unrooted.
still crashed....stupid thing

could use some help, cant get a500 to boot into recovery mode so i can wipe devlik and cache i get android triangle, i am rooted and and have acer recovery installed send help please

From the Acer recovery app you need to flash clockwork recovery. The app itself only allows you to manage which recovery you have loaded.

i have done a factory reset and still cant get market app to load, i assume my rom image is corrupt how the heck do i flash a new rom on this thing if i cant get into recovery mode

Yo can try this if still encountering FC/not dowloading apps for Playstore or market, it might also be the cause of new partition or something like that, you can try this another option freely other than fixing permission of vending.apk on /system/app/..
This might help you guys .
1. check if cache folder has "download" folder inside it, if it no download folder then create one inside /cache, e.g. mkdir /cache/download.
2. then chmod the /cache folder to 777, also make sure the com.android.vending folder is present inside /data/data/ folder.
3. You can achieve it through shell terminal.
Hope this helps you guys fix the FC(Force close or not downloading apps on playstore or market).
Hit thanks if it helps.
Thanks

[Q] Help with Root

So I'm stuck at the command prompts. I have messed around with several things, and have also updated the usb driver correctly. Where I am stuck at is getting the adb usb.ini file to show up. I can run C: START adb update usb, and something runs for a split second, but after that I'm still unable to get the ini file to show up. Is there something wrong I'm doing?

just follow this tutorial, its noob proof. I hope this helps........
http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-kindle-fire/
its easier then the tut here

Well I've tried both tutorials but for some reason I must be doing something wrong, because I'm unable to get the usb driver.ini file to show up, so that it can be copied and pasted to the .android folder. I was advised that I had to do the adb update usb command in cmd, so i tried START adb update usb but all it does is run something for a split second then nothing shows up. I'm in the correct directory as far as I know, and I tried different directories for about 3 hours last night. I was able to successfully update the usb drivers through device manager, not sure if I was supposed to run the adb usb update before actually updating through device manager?

Then you didn't follow the instructions because the file would automatically be there if you did.

Movieaddict, you are a godsend. I did attempt to do this by watching the Youtube vid, but the link you sent me actually just showed pictures of what to do. It worked! Now I just have to figure out what to do now that it's rooted lol. Thanks so much!

Soooo...I'm back again. Finished the root process, everything went hunky-dory until I actually tried to install something from the Android Market. Now everything force closes from Android Market, though my Amazon market still works. Also my games are force closing as well. The only way I can actually get back into the Market is if I clear all data to it, then can do searches. Also with my games, I am completely unable to get to work even after reinstalling them. Any ideas?
