remove superuser permissions

Re: Problem with superuser

Just go back into terminal and enter mount su. Su should be able to work after that.

Hi Guys, I'm having the same issues. I removed the root by rebooting to factory but superuser was still there.

So I UNREVOKED3 my SPRINT EVO 4G to remove superuser and it didn't work.
I followed the instructions below and I gained su but when I tried to remove Superuser I got a read only error.

Other things I noticed. After I rooted my phone I tried to remove the the stock applications and I could not. But the Wifi Router worked.........I'm at a loss...

Just flashing back to the unrooted OS won't remove it you need to do the following.

1. Re-root your phone (yes make sure your phone is "jailbroke" again) and download an app in the market called Terminal Emulator (its free)

2. Now type the following in the terminal emulator app. One line at a time and pressing enter after each line

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm Superuser.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system



3. Sync phone with google (in the settings)

4. Reboot phone

5. App should now be gone...

6. Reapply unrooted OS and wipe device .

7. Should be unrooted and the app will be gone..you can check your root status by using the Terminal Emulator app and typing "su" it should say permission denied


Hope that helps
