Superuser removal unrooted D1

[droid49733]

My wifes D1 has the superuser app downloaded and I am trying to figer out how to remove it. Her D1 is stock and has not been rooted, so how would this app even be on her phone. I tried to wipe phone cash and data but no luck still there. Anyone have this problem?

if she has the superuser icon then chances are she is rooted (or was at some point)

if shes on 2.2, she can apply this file - link 1, option 6 will show u how to go about it.

wait... have you tried going to system>applications>manage and uninstalling from that list? or does it show up?

Yes it is updated to 2.2 FRG22D & no the phone has never been rooted. I have tried the setting< manage apps and it is a no go only can clear cash or force stop no removal.

Go to the Market, then Menu -> Downloads. If you see Superuser listed, you can uninstall it from there.

I tried that last night and is not in the market downloads so how did it get there? My wife dose not even have clue when it comes to any type of computer stuff so its not like she tried to root the phone.

Any chance this phone is a refurb?

Nope! I dont think so. New right out of the box @ walmart. I got two @ the same time. I did root my phone using the root with any OS from this fourm. But left hers a lone.

I dunno, weird. Maybe you can go into the market and install/update it, then be able to remove it? Or go ahead and root the phone. Don't have to install a custom rom or anything, just add root. Maybe it is rooted... install a root only app and check it out.

And I don't know of any apps you can install that would automatically install superuser, but maybe one did.

Hay! I did notice that the version of SU is different between the two droids. I am gonna update the SU on her phone and give that a try.

Yes, I did try ROM manager last night and did nothing.
