I have to go to verizon today to get a new bionic because this one has a bunk ear speaker. Anyways, im trying to unroot, but when i run pete's gingerbread unroot tool it runs through the whole process and says that my phone should be unrooted, but i still have super su and titanium backup on my phone, and they seem to be functional. For the record i am running ice cream sandwich. Does this have any effect on this whole process considering petes tool is made for gingerbread? PLEASE HELP!
I know that Pete's tools no longer root the Bionic; I'm not sure about unrooting though.
You should be able to unroot from the Bionic. Try this:
- first of all, if you have debloated or frozen any apps, make sure to restore them or "thaw" them before unrooting
- if you have installed Safestrap or Bootstrap with ClockworkMod Recovery, make sure to uninstall the recovery from those apps
Ok, that done:
- install a Terminal app (like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImphY2twYWwuYW5kcm9pZHRlcm0iXQ.. )
- Start a Terminal session. If you see a "$" prompt, enter the command
su. You may/should get a prompt from the superuser app; give the Terminal app root access. You should then see a "#" prompt.
- From the # prompt, enter the following commands (if you see any error messages, check for typos and try the command again before proceeding):
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/busybox
That first command is important to get exactly as I typed it above - watch for spaces and no spaces. For example, there is no space in "remount,rw".
If you see an error message after the first "rm" command, even though you typed it right, try running the command
busybox. You'll see a lot of text, but then try the rm command again. Also, the capital "S" in "Superuser.apk" matters.
Then restart the phone. It *should* be unrooted. I would also do a factory reset when you verify unroot...
