[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmikeb92:
I tried using the viperMod and I still couldnt get su permission, what is wrong. It is in the system files and I tried deleting them with the ROOT Explorer app stated above and nothing worked. What am I doing Wrong?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xxbeanxx:
EDIT: sorry I didn't notice that jmikeb92 was not the OP. So this post probably makes no sense.

--

If I were you I'd root using mempodroid, install the su binary, then use a terminal shell to remove all traces of root (ie: superuser apk, busybox, su).

Another thing you can do is check the permissions on your su binary. Not sure where vipermod puts it, probably in /system/xbin. Check that it is setuid at least. If it is not, that's your problem. In this case gain root using mempodroid and setuid the sucker.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmikeb92:
I literally have no idea how to do the binary code stuff. Ind of a noob when it comes to that. Is it terribly difficult?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xxbeanxx:
No it is not difficult but you would need some knowledge of linux security. For example what setuid/setgid is, how to change file ownership, how to change file permissions.

There are lots of resources out there if you are interested in that sort of thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] realessence:
Hi,

I had this problem and spent hours before I could figure out how to remove Superuser.

Maybe you can try this method:

First, download Root Browser Lite from the market. It's like Root Explorer, but it's free and can work with both rooted and unrooted device. Then, open it and go to system>app. Inside the folder, delete the file 'Superuser.apk'. When it's done, power off to restart the phone.

If that doesn't work, you can do what I did. Search for Superuser in the market and try to uninstall from there. It may take a while. After that if the dead shortcut still appears in the app drawer, you can just reboot the phone and it'll be gone.

For those whose phones are rooted and have Titanium Backup, you can use that to delete the file, too.

Hope it helps.

defy plus

hey.... i tried using all the methods given above but all of them failed on my defy plus ... i had root access but unknowingly updated to latest dfp231 .. now im stuck with it ... also cant unroot it or remove the superuser app.. n to start a new thread regarding rooting guidance the site doesnt allow me as im new user .. so is there any method to remove the superuser app from defy plus ????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmikeb92:
I tried that method but it says failed to delete superuser.apk, same thing on root explorer
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ivanov13:
open drawer, put your finger on the superuser app and hold for a few sec. After drawer goes away, keep on holding it. You will see "App Info" at the top of your screen. Move the superuser there and menu will pop up. Clear cash and disable the app. Now it should be gone.

I hope i helped you:)

Sorry if i made a mistake. English is my second language.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiderxpig:
Hi, I just rooted my HTC Inspire. Is there any way that I can transfer all my data (contacts, apps, app data, texts etc.) to a flashed rom? For example if I wanted to clash MIUI, it deletes ALL of the data. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
mybackuppro available on the market. I'm not sure exactly everything it backs up, but you can look into it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pentocrator:
Titanium Backup should make the job too.

For the texts I use SMS Backup & Restore, wich is very handy and efficient!

And for your contacts : Aren't they automatically synchronized with your google account ?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
'Ello lads!.. So yes, I've traded my Galaxy Nexus for a Bionic(+ cash) with some fine chap. Sure the Nexus has a bit of a screen advantage but performance wise I honestly don't notice a dfference. The big thing is I'm glad the reception issues I was having with the Nexus are gone.

Anyway, that's alo for now. Cheerio!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Nicelysedated:
Welcome! Update to .901 so this phone doesn't piss you. Can be a real slag without that update.

Cheers!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
I am a bionic owner and love my phone, with that said you need to have your head examined :) I've been trying to get a nexus for weeks, lol. Just don't wanna pay $600 for it. If I could trade my bionic plus $200 or so I would be all over it!!!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
So far I've done that Zerg manual root on the phone. Can I simply just download a ROM w/ .901 integrated or do I still have to do some sort of .901 update first?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
well, the battery life was pretty bad on the thing and was pissed that the 'extended battery' was only 250mAh more then the stock. on top of that, unless the phone was charging in 'ac mode', it would lose charge if you were trying to use it while in 'usb mode' charging. also i had severe reception issues with it(kept going back & forth from 3g to 4g & occasionally lost signal all together). and finally, i wanted the extra cash for something.

either way though i qualify for another upgrade this march anyway... pretty sure though that i'm just going to hold off until the quad's are out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Nicelysedated:
If you look in one of the .901 threads you can find a link to.download the update. Flash it in bootstrap. After that you can change to any of the .901 compatible ROMs. I don't think the ROMs update the radio.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
I was just poking fun :). I'm sure you had your reasons. Welcome aboard.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kendive:
I would stay away from the nexus from what I have been reading. Getting some bad reviews.

I have a Tbolt and the Bionic and I like the Bionic better. The only thing the Bionic does not do is be on the phone and surf at the same time on 3G, but I never do that...

Now that I rooted the Bionic I like it even better, but just staying on the stock rom and stock radio I have no issues. Great phone...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Yeah, in reality there is nothing wrong with my Bionic and once we get ICS I'll be content. Kudos to Moto for setting the trend, announcing the Bionic would get ICS before other manufacturers made statements about their devices.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] davwman:
We will get ics. Just dont trust moto on time frames. We were supposed to have an unlocked bootloader end of last year. Its january 11 2012.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kendive:
Anyone get CWR to work on the Bionic? It is suppose to work but I can't get it to reboot into recovery?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
yeah the how to's in the dev section aren't exactly user friendly. basically though, i was not able to get CWM to work on it's own. you have to download that "Safestrap" .apk and install it. after doing so, it will install recovery itself. once that's done, you reboot your phone and press the MENU key once prompted, then you'll go into recovery.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kendive:
Thanks I will get that a shot today.

Update... Working now. Thanks again
[Motorola Droid Bionic] got556:
I may write out a few how to's with all the fixes.

I agree, out of all the phones/tabs I've rooted/ROM'd the how to's in the Bionic Dev section are a bit...lacking.

All the info is there, but it takes you 5 hours to figure it out b/c the steps, dummy guides, fixes are spread out all over the place between here and a few other forums.

Safestrap is really nice though. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
Yeah, your right. I don't know exactly what safestrap is (assuming its similar to bootstrap which I use) and when I tried to research it I got confused and just decided to stick with bionic bootstrap since I can't find a reason why its needed even though everyone talks about it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] knucklesmckay:
I wouldn't use rom manager, just do everything in one of the two recoveries. Here's a breakdown of the recoveries for the Bionic

Bionic Safestrap

-Allows two system partitions

-One system is non-safe system where your main stock system resides. You can make and restore backups in this partition but you cannot install custom roms.

-The other system is safe system. This is the partion that lets you install roms and what not.

-You can toggle between the two systems from within safestrap recovery. It will automatically backup the current system before switching over.

-Safestrap has a nice feature that prevents bricks. On restart if Safestrap is installed there is a boot menu that pops up. You can hit the menu button to get into recovery from there. This comes in handy if you are having a bootloop. Just pull battery, restart phone and hit menu key when safestrap animation appears.

-One downside is that webtop doesn't work in safe system and the rom may run a tad bit slower in safe system partition

Bionic Bootstrap

-This is the riskier one

-This is more like regular clockwork recovery. You boot intro recovery from the bootstrap app.

-You can make backups, install roms etc in bootstrap recovery

-If you enter a bootloop while using bootstrap recovery, your phone is pretty much bricked. Because of the encrypted bootloader there is not a way to get back into recovery if using bootstrap. You will have to use sbf/fxz from a pc computer to unbrick your phone.

*You can use bootstrap to install a custom rom as your main system, and then install safestrap after if you want. But fully know what your are doing before you do this. If you don't use webtop, I recommend safestrap recovery for everything. Here is something I wrote over at Droidforums

-I have been testing roms out in safestrap to make sure they install and load up correctly

-I then toggle back to my main system in safestrap

-I then uninstall safestrap and install bootstrap.

-Then I boot into bootstrap recovery through that app

-Make a backup in bootstrap (always have a backup of your stock unmodified system)

-Wipe data and cach

-Install the Rom that I first tested in safestrap

-After Rom loads up and your are done flashing you can install safestrap again if you want. This way you will have a rom as your safe system and you can have another rom as your non-safe system. Webtop will work with roms on your main system.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Darca:
Thanks I too was a little fuzzy on Safestrap. Now I know.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] knucklesmckay:
No problem. Here is a good link on safestrap http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8794-bionic-safestrap-bootstrap-recovery-12142011/page__fromsearch__1
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
It's not possible to talk and surf at the same time on Verizon's 3g network. I don't believe that is a feature most people need or would even use, but it sounds good on the commercials.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
The Nexus isn't worth it. I've tested it out and wasn't too impressed. One big thing I didn't like about it was that it only had 3 buttons compared to the normal 4 (home, back, search, menu). That might not be as big of deal with newer users who aren't as used to certain things, but I've been with Android for almost 3 years so the typical 4 buttons is a must as its something I became used to.

As far or the specs, its nothing to get excited about when they have much better coming out this spring and summer.

As far as ice cream sandwich, the bionic is getting it and will have Google's help with getting it set up for our phones.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
Not true, the thunderbolt allows it. It is mainly useless though because its really slow (not just 3g slow, lol) its almost like 1x. When I got the t bolt I thought I would use this feature a lot, I rarely needed it, but when I did it was almost too slow to use. The t bolt had 2 radios I believe, one 3g and one 3g/4g and I think this is the reason it "worked". This is also the reason you saw at&t change their commercial from "only network with talk and data at the same time" to "only network that allows your iPhone to talk and use data at the same time."
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bhp117:
After reading up previews for the Intel medfied chip for smartphones it amazing what it can do

It can do more than what a 1.5 daul core can only its a 1.6 single core

Can't wait til they an Intel phone come out

It'll definitely create a very tough competition for arms cpu
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
The thunderbolt is a 4g phone and when I owned it, not once was I able to search the web and make a call while I was in a 3g area. It's the capabilities of the network not the phone. Lte can do it and Verizon 3g can't.

Only time I have ever needed to browse the web during a phone call was during a conference call which I needed to look up something real quick. It's really nothing to get excited about unless your one of the few that actually have a use for it. I've only ever used it once so it's not really a big deal if I can or can't do it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
You had a dud then, it worked every time I tried, it was just slow. Also, your right, it is a network limitation which is why the t bolt is the only Verizon phone that can do it (which I believe is because it has dual radios, a 3g and a 3g/4g)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] suleiman.aql:
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I did a little search and didn't find anything.

So my awesome friend surprised me yesterday with the prime. But then it was the awkward moment where it doesn't turn on. We charged it for a couple of hours, tried to turn it on, but nothing.

It does vibrate though when we press the power button. And the power button turns orange once it's plugged into the charger.

Also, whenever we plug the charger, we hear something like a notification sound from the speakers.

Please advise. Thanks :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny80y:
I would try hold power+vol up......or power+vol down. What happens? If you get into download mode you could restore it. If you cant get anywhere then I guess you need to swap it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
It needs to charge up for several hours. other people had same problem. of after then it does nothing, then just switch it for another one.

Bit of a problem when there all SOLD OUT...

I have a bad unit as well. We're in the same boat..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
My prime today arrived with 6% battery left. My first one arrived with 35% so i could see it being dead. Charge it up while. Mine does make a pretty tone when plugged in too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] suleiman.aql:
I did charge it for a couple of hours, and nothing. Now it's been plugged into the charger for 12 hours :) ... I'll go ahead and try again and also try the power+vol buttons.

I'll keep you updated. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] suleiman.aql:
Yep. It's bad...

I tried everything, pin hole reset, power + volume button... Took it to the local best buy and the geeks tried to make it work but they couldn't (I had some hope in the big beareded man)... But got a full refund... And the hunting shall start again... *sigh*

Hello Everyone

This is a simple question for many of you, but not for me, I already know how to Root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1331784

(thanks to CF-Root)

and how to install a Rom. But,what about how to change to a different ROM.

Now I'm using

Base band - I9100UMKK1

Kernel - 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5+ninpo@titan #20

Build - VillainROM 3.0

(I'm using this one, cuz I found a very descriptive tuto about this, for my GS2)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198334

But What if I want to change my ROM, What are the main points to check the compatibility with my device

PDA?

Base band?

It is neccessary change the Kernel?

I would like to taste the flavor of ICS

Note: I don't want to be annoying, including all my phone data, but as a new android user, is my reference for search info.

Heya Mate,

I just posted pretty much the same question, however, after skipping 1 thread repeatedly because it was labelled SGS2 Bell/Virgin Canadian Thread Q&A (Root/Unlock/Firmware) Modems/Mods I found more info in there than I have by searching!

Right under our noses huh?

Still a little confused, but also a lot clearer :)

Its the first thread in this forum ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifentanez:
Thanks, Checking......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
I wouldnt go for the ICS roms yet, there unstable and can cause problems with your phone if you dont know what you are doing.

Kernel/Rom version should match if you are using stock roms, otherwise custom roms will normally come with a recommended kernel.

As far as the baseband, you can mix/match, so just find one that works for you, or leave it as it is if its working fine, you dont need to match the version to your rom or kernel.

To flash a new rom, find one you like and follow the howto in the thread, but it will be very much like flashing villanrom.

Make sure to take backups using nandroid (to go back to an old rom) and titanium (user apps) sms backup+ (app i recommend to backup sms/call log/mms) as you will need to wipe data (thats user apps/sms/contacts not media/photos/etc) when you move from rom to rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifentanez:
