[Q] Need Help - GooManager Error and other question's

Hey Guys,
I recently bought a Nexus 7 from ebay. The guy I bought it from had put Paranoid Android 3 on it. I am cimplete noob and do not know how to root or flash.
I just did something which I dont know how to correct.
GooManager kept telling me there was an update which when tapped on, would bring me to the .zip file i was supposed to dl.
I recently went into GooManager and denied permissions and then quickly re enabled them in supersu but now when ever I get the update prompt it brings me to the GooManager home screen with a message that says "GooManager has been granted super user permissions for an inactive shell"
What did I do wrong and do you have any idea how I can:
1. Fix this error
2. Go about updating the Nexus 7 to the newest version of paranoid
3. Can Someone link me to the full instructions on how to get the newest paranoid 3 on my nexus 4?
Thanks a ton
Josh

1. there is no error
2. launch goomanager, hit check for updates, when it alerts you, let it down load and flash
3. go to the nexus 4 forum, there is a thread dedicated to Paranoid Android there.

but in the past when I would click on the update notification it brought me straight to the download file. now it just brings me to the goomanager main screen.

reboot the device and try again. or you can go in and clear out all data and cache for goomanager in your settings/apps/goomanager page

I did a reboot and then cleared data and cashe and the notification just vanishes when tapped. Not sure how this happened. Can anyone link me to the latest PA 3 link to dl. ill just do it manually and maybe it will correct itself in the future.

open the NEXUS 7 ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT FORUMS and download yourself, or open GOOMANAGER and BROWSE COMPATIBLE ROMS...

I have an associated question: does GooManager require the separate SuperSU app to be installed?
My device (a Motorola Xoom) is supposedly rooted, but SuperSU fails to install and GooManager can't get root permission. It's frustratingly difficult to tell (on this device at least) if there's proper root access - one checker app tells me the tablet is rooted, others say it isn't.

Hi, TyneBridges...
Well, I've never used GooManager myself... but the apps description on PlayStore certainly suggests you do need to be rooted to be use it.
You're a long way from the Motorola Xoom forums (wherever they may be)... but try, from PlayStore, running some app that requires root... like Titanium backup, or perhaps better, Android Terminal emulator (by Jack Palevich)... run it, and type...
Code:
su
If you're NOT rooted, you should see something like this...
Code:
$su
su: not found
$
-------------------------------------------------------
One last thought that's just occurred to me.... you may actually already BE rooted (ie., have the SU binary installed in /system/bin or /system/xbin or wherever)... but you may be just missing the SuperSU app itself (and which 'manages' the apps you grant root to). This is has happened to me, several times, when re-rooting... for reasons which remain a mystery.
But you can download it from PlayStore, here...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
If you have some root SU binary installed, then Chainfire's SuperSU app should detect it... and either replace it, or update it.
Anyway... just some thoughts.
I really have no idea what other technical issues/problems there might be rooting a Motorola Xoom. And so you should hunt out the XDA forum for your specific device for more information... I'd be very surprised if there wasn't one.
Good luck.
Rgrds,
Ged.

Thanks for the reply. You imply that the SuperSU app *is* needed but that's the one that I've tried, and failed, to install. It just keeps telling me that the binary needs to be updated then, when I accept that, a pause and "Installing" followed by "Installation failed". I've tried the terminal program you suggest
su
Gives:
Permission denied
...so it appears that the tablet is not correctly rooted, but I don't know what the problem is.

Hi, again John...
I'm afraid I'm a bit out of my depth with the Motorola Xoom... I know absolutely nothing about it. Sorry.
Here's where you should really be asking...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/motorola-xoom
...if anybody can solve your problem, then that's where you're likely to find them.
----------------------------------------------
If you can install a Custom Recovery like TWRP or CWM on your device, then it **SHOULD** (theoretically) just be a case of flashing Chainfire's UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94, via that Custom Recovery.
On Nexus devices, you use FASTBOOT to flash a Custom Recovery.... on Samsung Devices, you need something called Odin to do likewise.
Once you have a Custom Recovery installed, rooting should be a piece of cake.
Problem is, I have absolutely no idea how to get such a Custom Recovery installed on a Xoom.
Do a bit of research... XDA is a vast repository of considerably more knowledgeable people than myself... and somebody is likely to know something.
Good luck.
Rgrds,
Ged.

[Q] IOroot 25 still not rooted :(

Hi Guys...great forum btw!
Was wondering could I pick your brains on an issue I'm having with my G2?
My D802 international version was running JB 4.2.2 which was rooted and with stock recovery.
I updated to KK 4.4.2 via LG Update Tool and all went well but obviously I lost root privileges. I attempted to root again via IOroot 25 and the process appears to run smoothly as it should, but when I use root checker it informs me that I don't have proper root.
I have used both auto and manual and both ways the process appears to go without a hitch but still not rooted....any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Did you run the automatic (.bat) or manual root procedure?

Ran both procedures...both seemed to run flawlessly but still not rooted.

I think you have to go to your Su app on your phone and change the default access to "grant" that's all, and check again if says u r rooted.

Thanks for your reply. I know Super SU is included in the IOroot25 zip file but after I go through the rooting process Super SU is not installed on device...I have to manually install it afterwards.... But still not rooted

Try running the manual once again, worked right away for me...

[Tut] Gain Back Root on Chickcharney Update! [Easy!]

Hey all OUYAins!
So recently I updated my OUYA to Chickcharney and lost root access *cue crying*
I tried installing RootMyOuya1.1 by WonderEkin but it didn't install. So I snooped around for different rooting methods such as ReRoot script by Eldon McGuiness (You can take a look at his script here).
The method that worked perfectly fine for me was to download a piece of software called Kingo (here). Simply download and install it and connect your OUYA to your computer via USB and click Start Root. Wait for the software to root your OUYA and it will eventually reboot. You should now have SuperSU installed with root access!
I hope this thread helps anyone having difficulty with getting root access on Chickcharney!

I'm assuming the device needs to already have been rooted prior to trying Kingo ROOT? I just got my system on Thursday and since I'm new it forced me to download the Chickcharney update and I can't figure out what the best way is to root my OUYA.

i just got one on friday and the same thing it updated automatically
i use this to root my system it still works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2350900

my ouya was rooted before the update. yesterday I tried Kingo and it said "already rooted", but I had no root permission. So I clicked "root again" and after a minute or so my ouya was rooted again properly.
Thanks Sn0wdune

I tried that to root it but it said it couldn't find the Ouya. I'm running the latest update Chickcharney on mine. Do I need to wipe it to run the root?

That's odd. Are you sure you have your OUYA connected via USB properly and the drivers are correctly installed?

The driver's wouldn't install because I had to turn off driver signing. I got it working after that with Ouya Toolbox root... even though it was crashing part way through. I had to run the TEST version of Ouya Toolbox and just forced the root and I guess it was fine because it appears to be rooted.

ROOT VZW Moto E 2015 (XT1528) VIA Kingroot on 5.1 (also sticks upon reboot)

Hello everyone,
Today I was able to root the VZW Moto E 2015 with the Kingroot app on 5.1. The Kingroot app said there was a method available and I decided to try it.
Simply install the app on your phone here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16614
The root sticked for me upon reboot!
**I later found it was a hobbed root. You can't make changes to the system partition but you do have SU capabilities. (like you can run hidden apps and menus or block system apps, not remove them)

You downloaded the latest one right? Keep trying rebooting the device. That is what I had to do.

After 3rd try it worked !!! thanks OP!
Edit: root lost after reboot

...but is it full root, with full /system read-write access? Some people have been able to get hobbled root via Kingroot on 5.0.2, but /system remained read-only.

Choose a bloatware app that you don't mind losing, such as NFL Mobile. If you "Disabled" it in Settings > Apps, re-enable it.
Install a file manager that has the ability to browse/edit the full filesystem, such as Amaze (https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.amaze.filemanager) or Root Explorer (in Play Store).
Open up the app and go into /system/app or /system/priv-app and look for the folder related to NFL Mobile (you'll know it's the right folder if the apk inside of it has the NFL Mobile logo). Delete it. If it deletes, that's a good sign. Reboot and see if the NFL Mobile icon is still in the app drawer, and open up the file manager again and verify that the files you've deleted have stayed deleted.

Wow. Everything fails. Kingroot says I got root and stays upon reboot. Titanium Backup acts like it woks but resets after reboot. Very weird.

Yeah, looks like you have hobbled root. While the su binary is installed, the system partition is still in read-only mode. While you'll be able to use apps that only need root privileges to read files/settings, you won't be able to edit the system itself.

Has anybody got it working? What are some signs of it working (i.e. 2 reboots, no reboot, etc.)?

It is indeed the latest Kingroot
Also tried for 50+ times maybe, sometimes got root sometimes failed---even if got root, always lost root after reboot

If someone gets root again, try to run Sunshine (bootloader unlock). You don't have to pay to see if it'll work.

As a heads up, sunshine fails with an error telling you to contact the sunshine support with your IP address if it continues.
Also, was able to back up the existing boot and recovery using flashify. I flashed the typical recovery used for other surnia devices, but when I tried to boot into recovery, it failed.
It got hung up in fastboot and gave check errors.
It did not keep me from booting back into the rom, so I was able to reflash the original recovery after re-rooting.
Yes, is only temporary root for me on 5.1.
I purchased supersume earlier today with the hopes of ridding myself of kingroot, but it immediately force closes. I trust the kr app about as much as I trust esfile explorer now...

If you have Android 6.0, you do not have the XT1528.
Your device (XT1521 or similar) can be bootloader unlocked and you can install a custom recovery and can flash root.
The device being discussed in this topic (XT1528) cannot be bootloader unlocked.

Not possible. The only known way to have permanent full root is to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader is necessary to make /system mount as read-write.

Yes, I understand.can you please send me the procedure to unlock the bootloader.so no body have mentioned correctly in websites and YouTube... So send me the steps to unlock bootloader and root the andriod

Root Xperia Z2 Tablet (All Models/Regions) on 5.1.1 build 23.4.B.0.319 in 3 Steps

Hello everyone,
I've noticed that there hasn't been any threads about rooting the Xperia Z2 Tablet on lollipop. Most threads have discussed how to root the device on 4.4.4 and to create an update image to maintain your root whilst updating to 5.0+.
I've scoured the interwebs and found nothing so I'll make it easy for those whom don't know how to achieve root or don't want to do much work without creating images and such.
First off I'm not responsible for any inconvenience that may come with rooting your device and losing your warranty. I can and will be willing to help out in restoring or answering questions that you may have.
This method uses Kingroot... For those who have a problem with kingroot, it is only used to achieve root and this guide will also be showing you how to remove kingroot and install Supersu with ease. Using the link below download the necessary files: Kingroot V4, Supersume, XZDualRecovery 2.8.26. Place all these files on the root of your devices internal storage/SD card excluding Xdualrecovery as that needs a PC. (If you want to Xposed working I will also supply the files needed for that as well). https://www.mediafire.com/download/wrsajbgw2jr6czt
*Make sure you have unknown sources enabled under Settings>Security>Device administrators as well as Developer Options available and USB debugging enabled. (To enable Developer Options go to Settings>About Tablet>Build Number and click it 10 times).
1. Install NewKingroot.apk and run the application. It will notify you that a root method was found and to try it. It may take up to 2 minutes to achieve root. (If all you wanted was root and are content with kinguser then you're done! :good: if you want Supersu and/or a custom recovery then continue on to step 2!
2. Connect your Tablet to your PC via microUSB. On your PC open and extract the contents of TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip to your desktop. Now double click install.bat a screen will pop up providing you with options to install xdualrecovery. Choose option 2. Installation on ROM rooted with SuperUser by pressing 2 and enter. The script will run its course and tell you to grant permission on your tablet. Open up your tablet and a kinguser prompt will show asking you to grant or deny permission to ADB (Grant it!!!) afterwards your tablet will reboot on it's own to TWRP. (I advise you to either make a backup of the tablet now or after you install Supersu as insurance in case of any mishaps). Click reboot System.
3.Install Supersume, open the application and run it. It will of course ask to grant it permission (Grant it!!!) it will check the environment (making sure that there isn't any Pokemon nearby that you don't need... Sorry Pokemon Go reference) and it will begin removing kingroot and install Supersu. If you didn't have Supersu installed already great! It'll open up Supersu automatically. Supersu may ask you to update binaries (DO NOT click TWRP as it will reboot and you have to start the process over from step one!!! :crying: Just click Normal and once it says successful you're done! :victory: The next step is optional if you Want Xposed.
*Optional 4. Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk. Open your app drawer and open NDR Utils. It will ask for permission (Grant it!!!) now here you may choose your preferred recovery... Philz Touch Recovery,TWRP or Clockwork Mod Recovery. Click Reboot to Primary Recovery (fourth option) once it's rebooted you want to click install>SD>xposed-v85.1-sdk22-arm-by-romracer-20160620.zip and swipe to install. You should get a success when it's finished. Now simply reboot and your apps will be upgrading. Congratulations you now have root with SuperSU and xposed! :victory:
**if you wish to uninstall Xposed simply reboot to recovery and click install>SD>xposed-uninstaller-20151218-arm.zip uninstall the application once it's rebooted and you're good to go!
***if you have a problem with Supersume not working, reinstall Newkingroot.apk and run it again to get root. Then run supersume again (Grant permission!!!) and let it run its magic.
If anyone has issues, has questions or needs help PM and I will do my best to help and answer all your questions. Please don't be discouraged because I'm new here! I will be soon adding a link to a video tutorial on how all these steps can be done!
