Install busybox installer from the market and install/update busybox. See if that fixes your issues. Also try installing SuperSu from the market, opening it, and updating su binary when it opens.
Did you run the busybox free app?

I installed busybox installer and when I try to install/update it says it failed. As for SuperSu, it doesn't give me an option to update the su binary.

I ran busybox free and it says it's unable to verify whether or not certain utilities needed for this app to run are present and functional on my device. This problem could be caused by a device that is not properly rooted or by superuser settings that are misconfigured

Likely not but thought i'd ask - Did you update to 4.1.1 after initially rooting?

Did you have the apps that use root before you rooted? I've noticed with some apps (that work with and without root) sometimes dont register that root is installed on your device so perhaps you should try redownloading them from the play store.

I've had the apps for a while on my droid x but I waited until after I rooted to also install them on the N7. I also tried uninstalling them and reinstalling them but they still don't work.

When you take an update it unroots your device. Re-root it with the tool and you'll be fine.

He should've used voodoo over the air rootkeeper to back up n save his root. So once you update, you can easily restore rot with one click in that app instead of having to use roottoolkit again.

I feel like a moron especially since I froze the updater on my droid x, I'll give it a try when I get home from work, is there anything special I should do or will I just have to click the root button?

Ever since I rooted my Nexus 4 the Google Play Store is not recognizing it.
It has the stock ROM and i'm using Nova Launcher free version on it.
I used Wugfresh's tool kit to unlock the bootloader and root the phone. (http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...s-root-toolkit-v1-6-2-updated-12-29-12-a.html)
Any suggestions?
I read in other threads that you had to install Gapps? But, those phones had a custom ROM on them, does that matter?
Thanks.

I've done that, still nothing.
Sorry, I should have clarified in op. I can access the google play store on my nexus 4 and I can download apps and everything.
It's when I try to access the google play store online through my desktop computer it doesn't recognize my nexus 4.

hi.. I am experiencing the same thing. except that it won't work.
Before unlocking the bootloader and rooting, my nexus 4 is recognized in the playstore via desktop.
After unlocking bootloader and rooting, the phone was mysteriously removed from "my devices" in the playstore via pc.
Another thing, when I enter, about phone, it says "Nexus 4". Is this correct? I have a feeling that it should say LG E960 instead.
What should I do? Reflashing and doing all the rooting stuff is my final resort, and I really don't want to do that.
Thanks!

Yes! It is Nexus 4 in about phone. Its weird if it says iPhone
I love my Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) but I have found
a real phone for me, Google Nexus 4 (LG-E960), So awesome!
Hello I have the same issue, I did the clear data of the Google Play App and Google Services and still not appearing in My Account in Google Play in the PC? need some help please, this happen since Root the Phone, is just rooted not change in the ROM not Change in the Kernel
Same problem. Stock ROM, no flashing of anything, just rooted with SuperSU, and the device disappeared from the Play Store.
I solved this by unclicking "Enable Superuser" in the SuperSU settings, restarting my phone, force stopping Google Play Services and Google Play Store, deleting the data from same apps, opening play store and downloading an app.
I've no idea how much of that was necessary, or whether my device would have showed up eventually anyway. Also I haven't been at it long enough yet to know if my device will disappear again after I re-enable SuperSU.
Had the same issue, fixed it simply:
Open SuperSU > Settings > Uncheck Enable Superuser
Download an app from the Play Store.
Open SuperSU > Settings > Check Enable Superuser
Device showed up instantly after downloading an app from the device.
Im having this same issue, i have tried all the suggestions in this thread with no luck
same for me
I rooted my Nexus 4 and now it doesn't appear in the web play store either! Followed every solution, but it's still not there :crying: any help please?
After trying all of the above options my device was still not showing in the store. I went to this link.
play.google.com/settings
I clicked on one of my devices and clicked the update option this loaded my Nexus 4 onto the list it is now available on the web store.
Thanks everyone for the advice and I hope this helps people who are still having issues.

I need help guys. I'm currently rooted running ParinoiAndroid 3.00 and Franco Kernel #82. I'm trying to download the Good for Enterprise App from the Play Store and install for my work email, but the app won't install becasue of my Root status. Is there a way to hide the root status from this app at all times. I really don't want to unroot my phone.
:fingers-crossed:
Not sure if this will work...
Go to SuperSU -> Settings.
There in Access, give default access as Deny
Then set up the whole Good for Enterprise thing
Then once the setup is done, set default access as Prompt again.

I do not think unrooting 4.2.2 is wise. I heard 4.2.1 rooting techniques do not work for 4.2.2.

Umm... nothing I can think of right now... If you have a spare device you can unroot that, install it on that device, setup your phone, root it, copy its data from /data/data and then restore it in your Nexus 4 Long shot.

Ok, that's not good. I guess I will need to do more research on unrooting 4.2.2.
And no this is my only device. I have a couple of old Iphones but that won't do me any good. Oh and if I was to unroot it and install the software, wouldn't the device be wiped when I re-root it and flash a custom ROM?

After re-rooting it, backup the data using Titanium. Then flash custom ROM and restore App + data.

I'm not sure if you would know this answer or not, but in an app like Good Enterprise does it normally just search for root status upon initial install or does it look for the root status periodically.
Also, I had plans to unroot using the SuperSU "Full unroot" option or even the Nexus 4 tool kit. Are either one of these methods the unroot techniques you were referring too? I really don't want to brick my device if its unwise to unroot.

I would have tried to check it myself first before suggesting you the solution (I had even downloaded the app) but turns out setting up Good Enterprise requires more than just downloading and installing it. I am not sure if it checks the root status periodically but in this case looks like the only option we have is to hope that it checks only during initiation. However, if the app is any good, I think it will check root status periodically to maintain security (because a lot of app information is compromised on a rooted phone)
Also, I do not think you will brick your phone if u attempt to root 4.2.2. Simply rebooting it in fastboot mode will give you option to revert to stock even in the worst situations. Still, cannot rule out the risk.
Anyway, a simple Google Search revealed this which could be a potential solution
Well thanks for all the info. I'll see what I can figure out.
Un rooting is quite simple , nothing to worry about!
By the way, Good permissions can be set by your administrator. They have the option to allow root, to check every time, Or to check once. It all depends on how your company configures it.

Well, I was able to use nexus 4 toolkit to uproot and relock the boot loader. The app install fine after that and is working properly.
Thanks for the replies. For some reason I was thinking I would have to return the phone back to stock to uproot it, I'm glad I was able to keep my custom ROM and kernel. 1 more question, was re-locking the boot loader necessary or could I have kept it unlocked?
voodoo ota root keeper has a temporary unroot option, grab it from the playstore , much easier than unrooting your phone, also root survives an ota from google. You probably could have left the bootloader unlocked.
easy way ??
An easy way to hide root is renaming the superuser app/apps in the below location.
/system/app
This method did the charm for me for few apps. But the disadvantage is, it will hide root for all apps..

Hi,
i get a notification about "the device has noticed an app trying to perform prohibited actions. For security reasons we advise a reboot.reboot now or reboot later are my choices"
what is that about?
It doesnt say which app and what it did. I basically havent really installed anything so i dont know whats up.
I got a 0x0 working root with SU and tested. UrdlV 0.2'ed.

Haven't seen that one before, seen one similar though. Is it a KNOX notification? - check what apps you have that are demanding access to system files (root apps) - and is your root working 100%? - It is possible you have deny apps that ask for Superuser in SU, find em, tweak em and should be ok.
If none of the above, may need to unroot, then re-root as it could be a bad root.
Are you talking about something like this, in the attachment?
I'm getting these notifications every once in a while, I'm not rooted, BUT (!!!) I have some apps installed that require root access (moved all my junk basically from my rooted S2 and installed all the apps deciding to root it later). So I think is that one of the apps is trying to access the root and phone is shutting it down. If you're getting this on your rooted phone, I'd double check if it's really rooted.
The latest MJ7 firmware update solve this prevention message.

It was my understanding that some apps were trying to gain root access on my unrooted phone, guess I was wrong.
I however didn't get anymore of these notifications (I don't think so) since the OTA update to MJ7, as the member alanchai mentioned prior to your reply. :good:
Hi All,
Not sure if this is a fix for all but it has worked for me as I was getting the same preventative message in notifications.
I had some apps which were installed by allowing 'unknown sources (other than play store)', once installed I unticked the 'unknown sources (under security)' this caused me to get these preventative notifications so ticked the box again and have not had the message reappear.
Am using the Note 3 SM-N9005.
Hello. I have a rooted Nexus 6P. I want to use Android pay to get the $20 best buy gift card. However, I can't use Android Pay since I'm rooted. How can I unroot to be able to use Android Pay? Also, is there a way to not have to lose my data? Will I be able to root easily again?
So far, I have tried doing the unroot thing in Supersu settings. I also downloaded the factory image from this link and opened the script like it said to.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
After doing both, I still can't use Android Pay. There is a "Supersu installer" app instead. Am I doing something wrong? Do I just factory reset? Thank you.
Never root before the first few updates 4-6 months unless you want to be in your predicament
