  1. I referred to a site for rooting my android 4.0.4 phone.All the drivers were copied. After the bin4ry process, the site said i would get a restore option on my phone to reboot it, but i didn’t. Hence, I ejected the phone and manually rebooted it. I downloaded root checker and it said my device wasn’t rooted. HELP! is it safe to re-root, without doing anything else.

  2. Earlier i rooted my phone a110 & nw as per the procedure mentioned above I have “possibly” unrooted it….because the problem is I have installed 2 root checker apps and it shows that phone has no root access but when i check in titanium backup it shows that the phone has root access…

    Note – I had titatnium installd on my phone before rooting then i rooted the phone and it started to show that the phone has root access but now after unrooting still it shows that have root access so i uninstalled titanium & again installed but it shows the same
