[Q] superuser settings disappeared on cm10.1 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm on the latest cyanogenmod nightly with superuser integrated. I disabled it and now it's gone from my settings menu so I can't reenable it. help appreciated.

Is the app still installed. Download it from the play store.

I'm having the same problem as OP, need help solving it. Downloading the app from the play store didn't help as CM10.1 has Superuser integrated within it.

Reflash the rom?

figured out how to get the "# Superuser" menu item back...

I just had this same problem - I disabled root via the "# Superuser" sub-menu off settings ..then it disappeared.
...I then also noticed my "{ } Developer options" was gone... (not sure if one led to another or not). Anyhooooo... I re-enabled developer options (via tapping build number a bunch of times) then, inside developer options, turn "on" dev options, then when down to the "Root Access" options, selected then enabled "Apps and ADB".
Tada .. "# Superuser" is back in the main settings menu.
fyi .. I then went back to developer options to turn them off ..as I usually don't have them on unless I'm coding... noticed that the "{ } Developer options" menu item disappeared again. No worries though it reappears if you do go back and tap on build number
Cheerio yohs

Avatar ROM questions

I can't figure out how to enable USB debugging on this ROM. Could someone point me in the right direction ? Also for some reason the app black mart apk won't download. The play store has some apps I want that are only on that app and every time I try to install it I get the
"Not installed" notification. I allowed Google to "time to time monitor unknown apps for malicious activity" or whatever when I first started the ROM. Does that have anything to do with it perhaps?
Figured out blackmart problem. Now for debugging..:thumbup:
I'm guessing it's a 4.2 rom? If so, this is how you do it: How do I enable USB debugging on android 4.2.*? (The “Developer Options” menu item is gone!)
Huh. Weird. :sly:

Developer option

No developer options in Kit Kat?
EDIT: Found it. For those that don't know, go to settings, about phone, software version, and tap build number 7 times. You will get a message saying "you are now a developer". Go back to your general settings screen and "developer options" will now be listed under Pc connection.

Go to Settings > General > About Phone > Software Information and tap multiple times on the build number entry to enable the developer options menu. It should now appear under the General tab.
Thanks Kenny. I updated my post at the same time you were posting....lol

Screen Overlay detected

After attempting to install a Bank App my phone I get the following error on any app that accesses the Camera.
Allow Open Camera to take pictures and record video?
after selecting allow I get the following:

If I attempt to use Cam-Scanner I got
Please go to Settings to enable storage permissionso you can save docs

When I select permissions it says no permissions granted. When I try to turn on storage permissions I get screen overlay message seen above.
I never had this issue before. Is there something going on with my permissions and how do I correct it?
thanks for your help
Go to Settings -> Apps -> 3 dots Configure apps -> Special access -> Draw over other apps
One of the apps listed here is the problem, try to disable one by one until the problem is fixed.

If you are running on marshmallow(6.*) Ignore that, first restart the phone on safe mode and then do what this member said(i had the same problem before nougat) or just give the app permissions while you are in safe mode.
Thanks for the reply.
I appear to be a bit different. 3dot menu has show system, sort by size and Reset app preferences.
Gear menu has Draw over apps. Unfortunately when I select Draw Over apps I find that all of the apps with the exception of a recently installed one are disabled.
My feeling is that I have had some time of File permissions SNFU that pretty much farked everything. At the moment I can not access files on a computer via usb and am not even able to read my SD directly from a computer.
Any suggestions on fixing hosed permissions or other would be extremely helpful.

Default Developer options

Hi there
I enabled the developer options but then decided to turn them off again using the slider at the top, the problem however is that this turns off items that were already on when I enabled developer mode, such as 'Automatic system updates' and 'Always prompt when connecting to USB'. Clicking 'Restore default settings' doesn't actually seem to do anything so I'm worried I haven't re-enabled everything that might have already been turned on. I wonder if anyone is able to post screenshots of the developer options at their default state at all, or knows the default values?
Thanks
Cameron
When i open developer options i can see restore to default button. Can you also see this?

Cameron.. Just Do A Factory Reset..

LG G Pad X 10.1 FRP (Factory Reset Protection)

I just got one of these from a friend of mine who did a factory reset on it before he gave it to me, and now it asks me to login to a previously used account. Unfortunately, he's terrible at remembering his login information, and he doesn't remember his password for the account he had on this anymore. He doesn't need it because he bought an IPad and doesn't use his google account anymore. So now it's stuck on the login screen. I've looked around and I couldn't find a way to bypass the FRP that I felt I could trust, or that seemed to apply to my device. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could do this?
Well, I didn't figure out how to get rid of the reset protection. But, I did get into the settings and was able to set up and use a guest account.
First get a SD card with an apk on it. I downloaded one from apkpure. Then when the device asks you to connect to a wireless network, check the Show advanced options box. Then in the Proxy settings drop down box, select Manual. And click on the Proxy hostname box to bring up the keyboard, and press the settings button on the keyboard that looks like a gear. From the keyboard settings menu you can click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar and can open two windows. Open the file manager in one of the windows. In the file manager click on your SD card and try to install the apk you put on it. When it prompts you that you need to allow Unknown sources in the settings, click on the settings button to open the settings window. (Do not check the allow Unknown sources box, if you check it, and the device resets or runs out of battery you'll have to go through this again, but when you click on the apk it won't prompt you to go to settings to allow unknown sources because they're already allowed.) Now just click on Users and switch to guest. There are some limitations to this mode, like not being able modify the wifi network (you'll have to switch back to the Owner account to change this).
I don't know if there's any way from the guest account to reset the account lock, but at least it's something.
I tried this and got as far as to the part where you said to "click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar."
That multi-window button is greyed out for me so I cannot click on it. LG must of patched it up or I am doing something incorrect.
Any other advise will be greatly appreciated!
It's possible it was patched out. They've been fixing little exploits with patches. This is the only way I was able to get any access to the device. All I can really recommend is to try everything. Check every menu, every option, and see if there is opening you can find to get access to the device.

I found a FRP bypass workaround if you are running 5.1.1 on a LG G Pad X 10.1 V930 AT&T model, not sure if all models are the same. It was FRP locked and all of the other bypass methods must have been patched. I was at the setup screen after a factory reset. I hope this helps.
1. Connect to wifi, then go back to start screen
2. Go to Accessibility > Vision > Enable Talkback
3. Go through the talkback training then draw an L to bring up the quick settings select Text to speech Settings (bottom right corner), afterwards you can disable Talkback by holding the power button and holding 2 fingers on the screen until it disables.
4. You will be in the settings app. Go to Users > Add user > User > Add user > Set up
5. You will be brought to a User setup screen select Next > It will pop up the wifi connection screen select next > You will be asked to sign into a Google account, sign into your Google account and proceed with the Google setup.
6. You will be brought to the homescreen. Go to settings > Users > And sign in as Owner.
7. Go to Settings > Factory data reset > Reset tablet. You can now factory reset and you will not be prompted to sign into a Google account.
