  • LuthiumLuthium November 2011

    Hi people i need your help once again, i need to take the DEXT to Tech service, i've manage to make it go back to 1.5 but i can't get rid of the Superuser...

    Also there is some issue with my computer OS so i cannot use RSD to flash an SBF, also there is no SBF of Claro Arg 1.5 around so i need other procedure.

    Thanks All !

    You simply need to remove the su binary and the Superuser app

    adb remount
    adb shell
    rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
    rm /system/{,x}bin/su
    exit
    adb reboot

    EDIT: The second rm statement is just shorthand for
    rm /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

    If it's not in your list of apps that you can just uninstall then get terminal emulator from market and type in


    mount -o rw,remount /system
    rm -f /system/app/Superuser.apk
    mount -o ro,remount /system
    reboot

    Allow superuser access when prompted. Make sure of the spelling and spaces. Your phone should reboot with the last command and superuser should be gone.
    Wait a minute....the last two line might not work after you remove superuser with the second line, if they don't then don't worry that just means it's gone and you should reboot manually just to make sure.

    This should work, feel free to wait for someone else to confirm or give another way to do it....

    lol, guess I took too long to type lmao...

    It's in the list of apps but it doesn't give me the Uninstall button, i don't have adb....never need it.

    You might have to for this. @phoenixsong6 is right you should also remove i from xbin and I'm not so sure you can do that from terminal emulator on your phone, it needs superuser access to work and you might loose it after removing the first file. You can try, just opem terminal emulatot and type

    su

    that should change the $ to a # and give you a prompt to allow superuser

    then use phoenixsong6's commands without the "adb remount" and "adb shell"

    If it doesn't work you will have to get adb running on your computer.

    You will have superuser permissions till Terminal emulator closes (the session ends)

    Removing it using the phone is basically the same, like @jethro650 said:
    Open terminal emulator
    su
    mount -o remount,rw /system
    rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
    rm /system/{,x}bin/su
    reboot

    I would download Motorola update software from Motorola.com and install the stock software for your phone. or downloadthe stock software and flash it with cwm if it boot loops pull the battery and reboot then it should be fine. a more simple approach would be to uninstall the updates for su then reboot. you can also try the one click root for Motorola phones over at xda, I used that for my atrix to remove su and unroot. I know it also works for the click :-) good luck hope it all works out.
