No root? Wtf? - LG Optimus 4X HD

I have used some application they need root. But some of them didn't work well. For example: GMD speed time, slash game buster and root checker said I'm not rooted. But it's false. I have rooted 4.0.3 than upgraded to jb than rooted again than unlocked the bootloader than flashed CM 10.2. What is the problem with these apps? Are they just simply not compatible with? Is there anyway to use these?

Run Root Checker to make sure that root access is enabled.

I m on cm 10.2 and root checker said I m rooted. When you run root checker, does the ask for root confirmation box appears? If not, check super user setting. May be it is auto denying the requests.

No it don't ask for root. I havi modified the settings to popup - nothing changed when its on auto enable - still says no root but for example in terminal I write su root it works fine.
The apps below are working great

Maybe you should try another root app like SuperSU...

try setting superuser to both apps & adb

CM10.1/2 has it's on superuser app in settings. Try to open it and see if you can update binaries.

su binary is Superuser itself.
If you install SuperSU from Google Play, and you "cleared" your phone the root access won't be removed. Since the thing that root your phone isn't SuperSU but it's the su binary.
So if i successfully update su binary i can get the full root access back

unroor and root again

maybe I posted this question in the wrong thread: I need to use an app that doesn't work with rooted device, is there a method to un-root a rooted custom rom (for me Asylum rom) for some time and then root it again?

Have you tried to go into superuser and disable the root access?

Problem - Root related

Guys, I've just flashed the SlimBean 4.3.1 v2.1 ROM and the Superuser app disappeared. I tried changing the lcd density in settings, but it says that it requests Superuser permission. I downloaded Superuser from the Play Store and when I tried to do the update, it said that I don't have root access. I also tried flashing the Superuser.zip file, but it didn't work. Please help!
Did you enable su in Dev options?
Sent from my LG-P880 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Oh, actually, I haven't. I'll flash the rom again and try! Thanks!
Sent from my LG-P880 using Tapatalk
Yep, it worked! Is there any way I could change the apps wallpaper on this ROM?
Sent from my LG-P880 using Tapatalk
If you mean the launcher wallpaper it should be in the settings somewhere.
I never used SlimBean, I suggest to ask in the Roms thread if you can't find it.

How to unroot?

I've just rooted my device using geohot's towelroot.apk and now I can't use my ISIS wallet app for my free Jamba Juice smoothies. I'm searching around and I can't find a method to unroot.
Kies3 isn't working either as it says "firmware initialisation is not supported by this model"
PLEASE HELP!
Edit: I've also tried to use SuperSU to unroot, but it won't let me update the binaries and just force closes
Edit 2:
*** PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR ALL OTHER USERS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE
I found out that you cannot use the SuperSU downloaded from the play store as it will just force close. Download the apk from this link: http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
SuperSU should be able to update itself successfully after you open the application. Afterwards, you can use the permanent unroot option from the settings and that's it! I'm going to go get my free smoothie now.
I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND NEED TO UNROOT ALSO.

Yes, I already found this out with my wife's AT&T Note 3. Xposed plus Rootcloak is the answer to Isis not working with root.

It does. I just tried. Now I'm trying Kies 3 to restore. Google play services wont work on my phone anymore. I thought this root was to good to be true. Now we have problems. I'm not the only one.

Yes. You will install the superuser apk that is floating around if you haven't already and then update the binaries after you open the app.
Then go to settings in the superuser app and do the permanent unroot. I also uninstalled the towel root app too just in case. Then reboot and you should be unrooted.
