Help! Kingo root unstable?? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
OK so after doing research I decided to try the kingo root method.
All was going fine but when it asked me for the root permission on the adb shell the adb shell did not register my touch on the grant button.
Then stopped.
Kingo says root failed.
However I have root access.
The only problem is that my ui stops when I reboot. And backround goes blue. Everything seems to work but my play store does not let me download apps intermittently. It will download it in the stores download meter then the play store "stops".
If anyone has some insight it would be greatly appreciated...

Try opening the SU app and updating it

Try what @RErick said first. Open Superuser and update it.
If you're still having issues try unrooting with kingo or superuser, then re-root with kingo again.
And next time please make your thread topic based more on YOUR issue. Kingo is NOT unstable like your title mentions. "I messed up rooting" fits this description better!

My kingo root is. I didn't mean the accual prosses. I apologize.

I updated su. Unrooted. After unroot ui still crashes on boot. Rerooted. Ui carashes and play store crashes. Any reason this could be happening?

Touch wiz FCing. Google play FCing.
What causes this issue. If I factory reset my phone will I lose root? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

No you will not loose root access if you do a factory reset. You'll probably need to download supersu again though.
Have you removed or frozen any apps since you rooted? Or are you still experiencing issues since the botched root attempt? If you did delete system files without a backup, a factory reset won't replace or fix them. It's possible a factory reset might fix some force closings, and worth a shot.
So what's happening when you experiencing these force closes? What tasks are you performing when the error occurs? Are you using any home replacement apps, or launchers like Apex, Nova, Go Launcher, etc....? I was experiencing system UI force closes with apex until I wiped apex's data and cache.

No deleted system apps. No launchers. When rebooting ui FCing. When I try to download app from market FCing. Now market won't even open. It force closes immediately.

[Bricked?] Superuser/UNLEASH THE BEAST V0.2 help![Superuser crashing]

Code:
The application Superuser Permissions (process com. noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
I first did one click root to root my phone.
Everything went well.
Then I installed
"UNLEASH THE BEAST V0.2"
When I installed, I saw new apps like wifi tether.
Apparently anything that uses superuser crashes and I get stuck unless i force turn off my phone.
Any help?
Did I do anything wrong?
Also I am experiencing major lag after rooting.
Any other apps seem to run fine. I just think something wrong happened in Superuser Permissions

You are using something that Is a bit dated in unleash the beast. Try to download superuser from the market to replace three current apk you have. See if that works.

And take a deep breath. You are not close to being bricked. Your super user app is borked. Replace it or uninstall it. You should be fine

(Tip) Safe way to disable unwanted applications

From other post:
Another way to disable apps is to use Titanium backups "freeze" or the "disable" with adb. Both prevents the app from running BUT leaves it intact and give you a possibility to restore all apps with a hard reset.
Here is a guide from Paul at Modaco:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231
Basically its use adb to run a PM command:
pm disable com.Apps.apps (change the file name to the apk you want to disable.
Note: titanium "freeze" do same thing
Your link is destroyed, how's the right one?

Fixed (hopefully)
I noticed that freezing using titanium takes a while... It just reports 'freezing...' and seems to hang there (after terminating and restarting the apk appears as frozen though).
Anyone with similar issues?
I can recommend SystemApp Remover, cheap nice UI installer/remover/disabler/backup app for your system apps, works very fine.
Can you disable the icon for alarm and call log and still get access to these in the call-app and the clock-app?
Anyone know this?
Hi, i just got my 2x and i‘m very new to this process, but does anyone know if you can do this with a temporary root then have your phone reboot with the apps still frozen? I‘m reluctant to void my warranty without a good reason e.e custom gingerbread ROM‘s, thanks in advance for any replies

Not really sure, but with root you dont really have to be carefull for waranty issues. You can very easily unroot your phone with SuperOneClick root and there won't be any trace left
Thank you for such a quick reply, i think i‘ll attempt it with a temp root and if it doesn't work i‘ll root it permanently since i will be flashing ROM‘s to it in the future.

The app disabling is not "linked" to the rooting process.
If you disable apps using a temproot they will stay disabled until you factory reset the phone or re-enable them.

I tried, and it didn't work. Anyone know if it is possible to get rid of those two icons from the app drawer?
Just a word of warning: if you freeze some important apps and do a factory reset (using default recovery) you will probably get stuck on boot animation or beyond.
That is what I did. I froze LG Home using AntTek App Manager, then did a factory reset without unfreezing it and I was stuck after the first Setup Wizard. I had to reflash the phone using NVflash.
Bloat Freezer is free on the market and works much the same way as titanium for freezing apps

Problem with root apps

Hi,
I have an OB with stock rom 10e and Quasar Kernel. The rom is rooted and everything works fine, but I have one problem though:
At first launch all the root apps work fine (I grant superuser permissions and such), but when I try to start the app again (e.g. Root Explorer) the app just gets stuck in the opening process. This happens with different root apps. The only solution is to kill the app and clear the app's data via the settings menu. Then it works again.
Anybody has a clue?
Hum... can you try to clear cache and data of Superuser app, launch it and click ok about the features and then launch apps using root (of course it will ask again for permission) ?
I'm not sure it will resolve your problem but... well I'm trying something. ^^

That seemed to fix it. Will see, if the problem returns. Thanks!
Did you update SuperUser app and su file?
Problem persists. I rooted the phone using the blackjack.exe from UPK package. Superuser is version 3.0.7, I don't know about the binary though. Should I just reinstall superuser?
Sent from my GT-I9100
Arf too bad. :/
What is the version of your su executable ?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
The binary was outdatet (was 3.0.0) and I updated it via the superuser app. Seems better now. I will wait and see. Thanks for your help!

Reset to factory default after rooting.

Sorry, I should have researched this before I did it, but I did a reset to factory default after I rooted. Now I can't get root back. Am I screwed?
You probably have not lost root. It just erased SU. Try re installing SU.

It is stated elsewhere, but doing a factory reset only removes SuperUser.apk, since it installs pretty much like other 3rd party apps. "su" stays in /system/xbin until you manually remove it. Factory reset doesn't do a full recovery of the /system partition, and Amazon hasn't provided a tool to do it. So, always be careful not to change anything you may not be happy about later in your kindle's life.
Did you succeded? I would like to reset but i fear for my precious root...

It's fine I've factory reset at least twice since rooting, nothing in the system/app gets touched when you do a factory reset, so if you have things like the Play Store, Google Services Framework etc. in there they will still be there & installed after doing the reset.
The only things I have added in my system/app are:
SuperSU.apk
Phonesky.apk (Google Play Store)
AccountAndSyncSettings.apk
GalleryGoogle.apk
GoogleLoginServices.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
ApexLauncher.apk
They remain untouched after reset & available to use, no root lost.
I use Titanium Backup Pro (The free version doesn't include the feature) to convert user apps into system apps and integrate all updates into the ROM, then do a factory reset and everything is still there and still rooted.
I know there is other apps that do this but, i'm not sure what they are called.
