Hello everyone, I know there are thousands of these WhatsApp topics out here. I tried almost every possible method to get it to work. I want to install WhatsApp on bluestacks and back it up with titanium backup. The WhatsApp installation on bluestacks is fine, but I can't get the program to be rooted. I tried it with instructions from another topic on XDA. I followed every step from the guide but it isn't rooted. Reinstalling doesn't work either...

Yes. Root checker also says I don't have root.
I used pre rooted files I found on this forum, just copied them to the blue stacks android folder. Do I have to do something else after copying root.fs and initrd.img (or something)?

I have an app that refuses to run because my Nexus 7 is rooted. So I would like to remove root and keep this app installed.

Not tried it my self but on SuperSU Play description it says that if you uninstall it, you will lose root:
NOTICE: A SPECIAL PROCEDURE IS NEEDED FOR UNINSTALLATION. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE APP, DO *NOT* JUST UNINSTALL IT, YOU *WILL* LOSE ROOT.
I would guess that if you have Super User installed, it would do the same thing.
I tried the "temp unroot" function of the superuser app and the app still recognized the root and refused to run.
I will try un-installing superuser now. Thanks for the idea, I will report back.

Some applications I believe look for the superuser application by name. So if it sees "superuser.apk" on the system it won't run. However, I know some in the past were able to be worked around by renaming the superuser application.
I don't know if this is still a valid method, but...yeah.

Try an app called OTA Root Keeper (voodoo). It will temp unroot. You then need to normally force close the app you are talking about and the run it and it should work.
When you are done if you use a lot of root apps you can the undo the temp unroot and be back to full root.
Some versions of su have that ability now too but I've not tried them yet... don't really have anything that cares if I am rooted any more.

I've tried using the temp-unroot feature of the superuser app and I was not able to do so. I wish I knew what this app was looking for.

Download supermanager from playstore, enable the root function in settings. Swipe over to tge next screen and select uninstall apps and uninstall superuser. Then reboot. That should do ut.

What app is it?
Sent from my Nexus 7
The app is called Jeppesen Mobile TC and you will only be able to download it if you have a 9-10 inch tab with honeycomb or ICS running. I managed to get the apk so if someone wants it to try please let me know.
I will try the above shortly. Many thanks!

I just tried this and it seems to have removed root like you said yet the application still thinks I have root. I un-installed the app and reinstalled it after rebooting.
The app runs fine on my gfs Nexus 7 which has never been rooted.
Hmmmmm

Hello. Can you explain the process you followed to make this app run in a Nexus 7. Because I downloaded the apk from a russian site in my Nexus 7 (non-rooted) and after the installation the app ask for me my name and activate number and I can´t do anything more.
Thank you for the help!

Jepp is subscription based. You need to buy a subscription to use the software.

Did you tried different versions? Which type of installation you're trying to do? (with a new number, titanium back up, etc..)?
I can upload the version that i've succeed to install, if you want to give a try

I also had trouble with whatsapp on my N7, Titanium backup worked for me. (Uninstall whatsapp from the phone before you install it on your N7!)
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I used TI backup to take a data backup from working whatsapp plus on my phone, and transplanted it over, and eventually managed to get whatsapp plus working on my nexus. I can't really give a guide though because i just screwed about with it until it worked. Sorry.
I also used an app called appguard, to remove the permission for whatsapp plus to read the phone model info. If you Google 'whatsapp appguard nexus 7' you'll find instructions for that part.

I rooted my nexus 7 with WugFresh nexus toolkit. Afterthat I saw the app busybox. So I would like to know if I can unistall it because I do not want to flash anything, I only what root permission for my PS3 controller.

Busybox contains common Linux commands/utilities that android does not have built-in. Many apps that use root will make use of busybox. If you are using any root apps its best to keep it. I guess you could have Googled that yourself in the time it took me to write it!
Ofcourse I googled it but couldend find anything

İ always wondered this myself and Scott doyland did a very good job at explaining it. It's used by apps that require root! Great piece of information!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I was told it was necessary for Root. I have a S3 and it was installed automatically as well.
I don't think the OP needed to be slammed by IAMNICE for his Google searching skills. Internet tough guy talk is sort of gæ.

Hello all,
I've followed all the instructions posted on how to root my Nexus 4 on either YouTube and XDA. However, I keep getting the same "waiting for device" message once I set my device into bootloader mode. Any tips on what can or must I do next to solve this issue?
Thank you and I appreciate any help I get in here in advance

Use Wugs toolkit to install the device drivers

Well my first thought is to make sure you have USB debugging enabled. After that I would try the PDA net drivers instead of the one that came with the toolbox. I had a similar issue and that fixed it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Mine was a pain to root. Drivers wouldn't update, other things didn't work, and the toolkit kept saying my ADB was off. The problem was my sdk wasn't up to date. Once I fixed that, I just used the ADB method and it was done in ten minutes.

You just have to get the latest apk of whatsapp and install it.
Doesn't whatsapp have the option to update itself without playstore?
