Rooted G Pad 8.0 LTE, not able to delete system apps from carrier topic

Hi, I just rooted my G Pad 8.0 LTE with purpledrake, installed SuperSU and Titanium Backup and it seems like I have root, but I can't uninstall some system apps from my carrier Orange. Is it normal? It says "failed to locate apk file". I have titanium installed on my Galaxy S3 rooted and I can uninstall any system app I want. I also get a warning when I start Titanium: "the mount namespace separation setting in supersu might not work reliably on some platforms. If you encounter any problems please try changing it" :confused:

[Q] HOW DO I GIVE ROOT PERMISSIONS TO AN APP iIF NOT ROOTED? topic

Hi,
I just opened the app Dev tools on my Qualcomm phone, then clicked package browser, then a list of apps appear.
The UID of apps were displayed
Android system is an app,I noticed its UID, which is 1000
THe systemUI UID is 10071
The Feature Setting(com.qualcomm.featuresetting) UID is 1000. Feature settings is an app that manages the features of my phone, it can turn on/off some features either hardware or software. It is an app that came up with my phone when it was bought.
Some system apps has UID 1000, most of these apps can change the behavior of the phone's software and they also have root access(i.e ability to change system files). System UI has also root access.
So how do i CHANGE an app's UID to 1000 to give root permisions or grant its own UID to gain Root access?
my Phone is not rooted.

[Q] Security of rooted Android devices topic

Hello!

I have some basic questions about the security of rooted android devices. I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 actually on my SGS3. Of course I rooted it to install custom Recovery and ROM. So is there any possibility for an App to get Root Access without recognition?
I dont need the Root access anymore, I only wanted to install Cyanogenmod and thats it. What to do to fully unroot Cyanogen?

Another question:
If i have enabled "only install from trustet sources" am I safe? Or could there be sort of drive-by-downloads for example on this site sometimes i get the pop-up "your phone has (13) viruses, click ok ...".

Yeah thats it, I'm a little bit paranoid especially according to my passwords, are they safe!?

Thanks a lot and Greets from Germany! :)

Is my one plus one rooted? topic

I'm new to the one plus one and I'm coming from a galaxy note 3 after enabling developer's options I found this in it ...root access..it was on disable but I enable apps and adb...does this mean that my phone is now rooted? I'm sceptical only because looking on YouTube it seems that its more difficult then just pressing a button...thanks

Rooted HTC Desire 500 not turning on topic

I don't know much about rooting but hear me out. I rooted my device successfully and was using it for a month or two. Decided to change the ROM which stopped letting me go into recovery mode. Whenever I tried to go into recovery mode on my device, it would just start it up normally. I thought maybe if I flash a new 'img' to the device it would fix it. So I used flashify and used a Clockwordmod recovery img which I downloaded on the internet. That's when the issue occurred. It Flashify came up with a sign saying it needs a reboot so obviously I rebooted it but now it doesn't turn on, it gets suck of the white HTC screen and does absolutely nothing! Help me out?

I don't want to start from scratch. If I just unroot in SuperSu, will I be able to ugprade in place to 4.4.4?

am I rooted or not? topic

I’m Running Katkiss 5.0 14b nice and smooth on my TF201. I unlock it , flashed Gapps, compatibility pack and SU but I noticed that after SU the tablet reboot itself every 5-10 min.

How I solve it? Kill the SU app.

I downloaded root checker and says its rooted, but with another apk says is not.

So how can I really know if my tablet was rooted or not?
Thanks!

Getting 5.x Lollipop Update on Rooted HTC ON M8 International topic

Hi all

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but I cannot find any information on this for the life of me and it's driving me mad.

I have a notification stating that my 5.0 OTA update is ready but I can't install it due to the Custom Recovery on my device.

I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2701376) and flashed the 'stock' (not actually Stock - every link it CWM or TWRP) recovery but it didn't work and the update still fails. I think I read somewhere that something is different about this particular update.. that you need to have an 'untouched'/never rooted device?

Plllleeeeeeeeeeeeeease can someone steer me in the right direction so I can get this update sorted?

Thanks in advance.

[q] rooted at&t lg optimus g pro kitkat update topic

Hi,

I am based in India and I bought AT&T LG Optimus G Pro from USA and got it unlocked in India. Also I got it rooted as well.

Now whenever I am trying to do software update, the message comes "Your phone is not registered yet".

Is it possible to get OTA update released by AT&T without registering? If no, then what should I do for it?

Also since it is rooted, Can I get Latest Lollipop/ Kitkat android on it?

Please confirm.

Thanks.

Just got a Fire TV today, rooted and running like a champ! topic

Hello!

Bought a Fire TV from Best Buy today on a whim, and was pleasantly surprised to discover it came with version 51.1.1.0_user_511069920 installed, so I was able to downgrade and root! :cool:

I did my research and was pretty sure it would have come with something newer, I guess these guys don't move very fast at Best Buy, lol.

This thing blows my AppleTV 2 out of the water in terms of performance, specifically XBMC. :good:

Very happy and pleased to be a part of the community! :laugh:

[Q] Cheap Import already rooted? topic

I bought a cheap Chinese android tablet recently. According to the "About" it's a model # S102. My problem is that it's reported as being rooted although I've done no such thing and therefore NowTV won't work on it. Is there any way of fooling the NowTV app into thinking that it's not a rooted device, or alternatively is it OK to reinstall Android using an original copy so that it doesn't show up as rooted?

Rooted SCH-I545, working on Metro PCS now what? topic

Got my Verizon phone rooted and up and running on the Metro PCS network using helpful guides here. I'm on MK2 4.3. I'm a little bit in the woods as what to do next. I want to install a custom rom, but I don't want to lose my services to Metro PCS. I had to put in the APN and other information manually. I'm just wondering if it is ok to install custom roms now or will it mess me up. Any nudge in the right direction or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I can send/receive calls, texts, and gps works fine. Not sure about the speeds yet, but every looks fast so far.
