I have G300 on stock rom rooted and working fine with this method. Main reason was to remove Vodafone crap.

However, I'm having trouble getting Barclays mobile banking app to work. Have tried various tricks of trade to hide root by reading number of posts but no luck as Barclays app still able to find phone as rooted. Need help to rescue.

How do I now un-root phone or is there fool proof way to hide root / unroot temporarily?

Out of frustration to find a way out, I stumbled upon following steps and it magically resolved the problem.

1. Start SuperSU app
2. Settings -> Reinstall (Cleanup for reinstallation from Google Play)
3. Wait for few seconds and app should close automatically. I believe it still retains root but just remove SuperSU app.
4. Reboot the phone
5. Reinstall SuperSU app from Google Play.

After that, started Barclays app and it launched without root warning!! I still have root access, did not have to disable /hide superuser. I have no clue what went behind the scene but certainly works in my case. If anyone stuck in this situation, give it a go and report here for everyone to know.

Hi,
I've just taken the Vodafone upgrade to ICS and lost root.
I tried re-rooting with super recovery, but get

sending 'recovery' (5074 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

Cheers.

I've just taken the the official OTA update too and hit the same problem - ie. I've lost root and I the super recovery method no longer works. Dilemma is that I prefer ICS to GB, but want to remove the VF apps from the stock firmware - which was quite easy with the GB ROM.

Any suggestions?

You dont use that method to root ics. Look on the forum how to unlock bootloader and root. There both one click tools

What is the best way to root g300 with B952 update?....just want to remove vodafone apps.

Hi all, I just upgraded my G300 to ICS following the istructions from my provider Yoigo (http://www.yoiggers....-ya-disponible/), all worked fine and now I am in version 4.0.3.
I have read in this forum that I can root it so I can eliminate the anoying phone question (when I change from wifi to data) if I want to continue to switch to data mode.
My questions are:
FYI, My phone is not unlocked yet.
Since the post was from the time I had the old Android version, can I still apply the Posted 16 April 2012 method from PaulOBrien??
Perhaps this is a silly question... Can the phone be unrooted and returned to the prior state?
Thanks in advance!

HI guys! I've also upgradeed my ROM to ICS 4.0.3 and now have build B944. I followed Paul's steps and can get into superrecovery but my phone has neither SU nor is rooted which seems strange to me as I already have the recovery. Besides, I installed ES file explorer and it can't see my 8gb SD card which I formated before putting it into the device. What do I need to root root my g300 on WinXP. Thnx in advance!

I have the same problem with getting the root on ICS 4.0.3 B952... Tried everything I could find but with no luck...

[pepdavies]

I rooted mine from stock b952 a couple of days ago. Just follow the instructions in the 'explained like you're 5' thread.
