[Q] Upgraded without Unrooting

I may have missed this in another thread, so please feel free to redirect me if so...
Without thinking, I updated my Droid with the OTA push and my previously rooted Droid 2 is now not rooted.
I did try to run the oneclick and 1-2-3 root processes. Both end with "your device is now rooted", but of course it's really not. I do have the Superuser APK, but my rooted programs are not communicating with it. And I'm not able to uninstall the Superuser program (thought I'd try to reinstall it). No go.
I had Titanium Backup, ad am wondering if I can wipe my phone and restore it, then upgrade, and root after. I'm a newbie with limited knowledge, so wondering if I've backed myself into a corner on this one.
All feedback appreciated!

Yesterday, I did the same thing you tried and I was successful in rerooting my phone after the OTA update. When you used the 1-click process did you choose option 1 or 2. I tried 2 and it didn't work. I had to chose option 1 (reload everything) to be successful. BTW, remember to make a new recovery backup of the system.

Same issue here - how I fixed
I had already made titanium backups of important stuff - you have to go into applications (that use root) and force stop and clear data. Once this is complete open titanium backup for instance, and you should be asked for super user and then be good to go. Same goes for rest of apps that need root

OTA update Loop?
i have my d2 rooted after the ota 2.2 update. i just received a notification to accept the most recent OTA update ... whatever it is... and assumed it was one of my apps as i didnt read it thru completely b4 tapping 'ok'. now it is stuck in a download, reboot, update, "update unsuccessfully installed", redownload, reboot...........
is there a way to cancel the update? i dont really care if i have it or not
or some way to stop this process aside from the airplane mode i had to set it to so it would stop this madness

So you can do the OTA update without having to unroot and reroot?

Great advice from all - thanks! I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, but I ran DOROOT several times, did the unplug/plug when it hung for a minute, force closed/cleared data from previously rooted items, and also put phone into 'charge only' mode when USB Debugger would not run.
Finally - success! My advice to users with this same issue - try and try again.
Thanks all!

[Q] Failing ICS launcher help

Hello all,
Admittedly, I am a noob. Ive searched the boards for similar solutions to mine, but to no avail. Here is my situation:
I rooted my kindle fire using burritoroot3 and worked beautifully. I had no problem with the root or the process. I came across an ICS launcher that I found good enough to install on my device. I installed it, and instead of testing to see if it would crash, I checked the "use this as default launcher" or something similiar box and now even after hard resetting m KF, and rebooting multiple times, every time it starts up, I get the message
"Sorry
The application ICS 4.0 Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpecedly. Please try again
Force Close. "
m
I would like to know if this is fixable or if there is a way to revert back to the other launcher or uninstall the ICS 4.0 one and be able to use it again. I guess this is a "semi-brick" because it loads up fine, doesn't bootloop or anything.
I want to thank you guys in advance even if you are unable to help me!

Use root explorer move the apk from data/app to system/app then reboot

How would I do that? I cant access anything on my device. As soon as it starts up, it force closes on me right after i slide to unlock...

if you have twrp installed you can boot into twrp and have adb commands available
then you can use adb to copy the file ...

[Q] Dissable Knox Security help?

Alright, I'll run down my problem and hopefully someone can help. I have looked at all of the threads and none have helped me . I am however, very confident one of you guys!!!
Alright, when I Updated to 4.3, I decided that I wanted to go to Cyanogenmod instead of the touchwiz from samsung. I had previously done it with my s3 and everything went well!! So I decided to give it a go. From the moment I tried to root my phone, a notification would pop up on my phone saying "Security information An application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. This attempt has been blocked."
It doesnt matter what method I use (mottochoper, terminal, mac, pc) I always get the same message and everything stops and whatever program I use tells me it couldn't finish.
I have a macbook, I tried uninstalling kies, rebooting my s4/mac, everything!! Nothing works because of this message.
I also tried to dissable and force stop Knox, but it just keeps happening.
I unchecked the box that allowed know to be activated under security, but it keeps happening!!!
I can't root my phone, and it makes me sad very sad ((( The closest I've come to rooting my phone was with the mac Cyanogenmod installer. It almost worked! But then, the security thing.
I have a Galaxy s4 from at&t, running 4.3, a macbook running 10.9, a bagged lunched I prepared for myself that could be yours, and internet access of course.
Someone help please!! Thank you in advance you beautiful folks you!!!!

What rom are you talking about? You can either delete all know related files in the system/app dir or freeze the files using TB backup.

If you're running the stock 4.3 OTA, then you can't run cyanogenmod or any AOSP ROM first of all. Second, if you do have the 4.3 MK2 system, you need to either use Saferoot or Kingo ROOT. If neither of those work, use the third post in ted77's update.zip thread to flash back to entirely stock without the security updates (it will erase data and internal sd) and then root.

Root and Lucky Patcher Problems

Hello, I have a Note 3 SM-N9005 LTE Hong Kong rooted via Kingoroot application for PC. Now the problem that I am facing is regarding Lucky Patcher application, don't know the problem is due to root done by Kingoroot or it is something else, thats why I need help, and yes informing this before hand that I have latest busybox installed and yes tried the new and the old versions of Lucky Patcher too and the root is working perfectly for other applications, problem remains as it is. When I open Lucky Patcher and click on any application and then on available patches a loading circle comes up and then it gets stuck, I then have to press the back key and the circle gets disappeared and then the options come up (don't know how), then when I apply the updates (after selecting relevant updates for the application) it then gets stuck on this "get data from root", and finally I have to close the application, I tried searching on google and some others also have the same problem but no solution for it, if you check the Update Log of Lucky Patcher in their 4.8.8 version they FIXED this problem indicating that "Try fix freeze get data from root for some devices with proxy enabled". Still the fix does not work for me, now I don't know what is the problem as I have tried the latest and also the old version of the application. I think it has some relation to root done by Kingoroot, because I previously rooted Note 2 and it was working perfectly with Lucky Patcher but I rooted Note 3 with Kingoroot so I think maybe this is the problem, I would really appreciate some good possible solutions if someone has to offer.
Thanks.

If you want to use a app, pay for it instead of stealing from developers using Lucky Patcher.

(SOLVED) I need some help! Grand Prime SM-G530W (rooted) stock apps keep stopping!

(Please note I'm new here, if you need more information just tell me. Thanks.)
OK so I just rooted my SM-G530W through Heimdall with CF-Auto Root and everything went well, until i unlocked my phone screen. I kept getting the error "Unfortunetely, TouchWiz has stopped." Luckily, I have multiple launchers installed, so i just got into the settings menu from the status bar. However I keep getting the errors for default applications Stopping like "Contacts Storage", "Download Manager", etc. and my phone vibrates two tone (it just 'beep' 'beep's, to describe it.)
Other weird stuff like notifying me of adblock plus and root checker granted superuser access every two seconds.
Any Help? Greatly appreciated
------------------------------------------------------------------SOLVED-------------------------------------------------
Via 'unrooting'. Thanks sev0two for the input.

Can anyone please help me?
This is getting annoying really fast.
Other things that happen are I can't use the stock Camera app, Media storage keeps crashing,
and I can't play audio.
