Just don't open SuperSU once it's installed. Reboot one more time and you'll get regular prompts from SuperSU to allow permissions as apps request root.

Some of it is in /system/app which is currently untouchable. Soon enough though... once this has stabilized a bit, there's a ton of stuff you can potentially do with just root.

Thanks very much JCase! I will try this on my Maxx as soon as I get a chance and will get your money to you. I guess I need to figure out how to install the root method he developed as I don't know how to get it on there. I'm assuming I can Google adb?

Ok, I have been out of the ADB world for a while now, but still have it set up. I have two apps from AOKP that I would like to install.

They are called MMS.apk and LatinIME.apk

(the mms and keyboard)

How would I push them to system/app and correct the permissions?

[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] joshzide:
I don't know if this question is out-of-bounds, but I thought other people might be wondering the same thing. My reason for wanting to root was to eliminate the wireless charging sound (i.e. replace /system/media/audio/notifications/WirelessChargingStarted.ogg with a silent ogg file) and perhaps also eliminate the Droid powerup sound (/system/media/droidpu.ogg). To be honest, I planned to unroot after that (I don't have any other reason to need it right now), though I'm flexible on that point.

It seems to be possible to read/write in /system/media/ and I was able to accomplish what I wanted, but everything was restored to stock on reboot. Is this the same problem as the /system/apps issue, or am I doing something wrong here? If a solution is coming, I'm happy to wait patiently, but I didn't want to be waiting to find out that it was user error on my part or that this was somehow not practical.

Thanks in advance!

One question: I'm assuming that since we can't modify system/app yet, we can't delete the files to prevent updates, correct?
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] :
Thanks very much for this; I feel like a complete idiot. I downloaded it last night on my desktop (Windows 7) and it downloaded as a Zip file. Hence my confusion and that's what made me think I needed adb. It was also pretty late when I tried it and I was fuzzy. I downloaded it this morning via the phone after reading your post and sure enough, it was an .apk. Total duh moment on my part. It rooted the Droid Maxx and rebooted. Installed SuperSU and TiBu. SuperSU failed (I know JCase is working on that) but TiBu worked fine and I gleefully removed some Verizon bloat with no problem.

Thanks again everyone! JCase, my pledge is coming but will do it tonight as PayPal is blocked here at work.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] lvlln:
It seems that at least a couple people had success installing the APK via the phone instead of using ADB.

Got it working on my Verizon Droid Mini, though Titanium Backup seems to be having issues with scheduled runs. Thank you! It had been annoying having an unrooted phone.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] OrbitzXT:
Hi all, I have a noobish question if you could indulge me. Is there any harm in accepting OTA updates to just make the notifications go away? If it did get rid of the existing Root, doesn't it only take a couple minutes at most to Root the phone again after the update? I imagine there is something I'm missing here. Just picked up my Droid Maxx today and still learning a lot, thanks.

Edit: Also, what're the main uses or reasons that people are excited to have their phones Rooted? I always thought the main reason was to delete bloatware, but it seems we can't do that yet. So what are users using their Root for at the moment? I'm just curious to see if its something I want to do as well.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] arcanexvi:
It has been stated that this method will not work with 4.3 and beyond when it comes. Until then? Who knows.
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] joelbon:
You can freeze the bloat using Titanium Backup. You can also use TB to save all your apps plus the data for those apps. It is really nice if you need to wipe your phone. It makes for quick and easy work of installing your apps and not losing any data.

It is also nice for theming. Like making an app have a black background instead of white or changing your bootup screen with a custom image.

You can truly make a phone yours if you have root.

If you take the update, you are taking a risk that the exploit that was used to give you root was fixed and will no longer work. If that happens than you will not be able to root after you update. I would rather not update if I cannot have root. HTH
[Droid Ultra Original Android Development] Piaband:
Does this method delete user data?

It does not appear to after watching the video, which would be soooo toight.

Busybox needs to be installed and you must issue the commands as root. If you used MotoRoot, busybox is already installed. You can do it from either a terminal app on your phone or an adb shell.

su

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

But, I wouldn't worry about it just yet. jcase will be releasing root with full system rw very soon, perhaps today.

Little problem with MAXX HD

Hi all,

I have a Verizon MAXX HD 4.1.2, 9.20.1.XT926. When I first got it, I think I mistakenly tried one of the root processes ntended for an earlier OTA and it failed.

Well, now when I try the new 5 minute root APK (MotoRoot1.1-Droid), I get the following messages:

Replace app?

This is a system app.

All your previous user data will be saved.

Cancel|OK

MotoRoot

X App not installed

An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed

Done

So if I'm guessing right, whatever I tried previously is conflicting with the new exploit code.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to work around this? I'm desperate for root again!

Many thanks!

Alright, I've had my S4 for about 3 months now. I've never dropped it, never scratched it, its usually in a case with a separate (non glass) screen protector. It still looks brand new.

This morning I was using it in my car in the parking lot of my apartment complex, slip it into my pocket, get out of my car and walk to my room. I took the phone out again and the screen does not work. Just flashes a bunch of colored lines and goes black again. I looked carefully and noticed it was cracked all the way through the LCD panel. The glass itself is unscratched and perfectly smooth. Is this a common problem with this phone? Why did this happen so easily?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trueray:
Really strange. I hear people having problems like this but can't speak on it because I never experienced it. I like to keep my device protected with a silicone case to absorb shocks just in case I bump into something while it is in my pocket or drop it. Plus a good screen protector.

Those thin hard shell cases are big let downs. They might keep your device looking pretty and thin but they are unreliable.

I honestly NEVER have understood the boot animation thing,

I sometimes go a week without rebooting my phone.

I should get into habit once a day, but still it's like 10 seconds maybe once a day, that 99.9% of the time only you see..

If a boot animation makes you dis-like your phone, I don't think that the phone is the right choice for that person.

also confused how it's getting old fast? Yes they shut down htc dev, but sonic is taking care of that, if someone can't put down $8.55 for $600 of insurance, then well, I guess no root for you.

No risk no reward. I know fully I may not get my HTC One back and in working order.

but I trust Sonic, I have faith with him and with a signature required and $600 of insurance I feel pretty safe with where my phone is.
