Rooted my phone but no rooted applications work

---

Hi folks,

I rooted my phone but no applications that require root access work.

I am currently running the 40.2 update on my verizon nexus.


I tried wifi_tether_v3_1-pre111.apk, rom tool box, root checker and root toolbox.

Rooted applications always say that my phone doesn't have root access or a kernel is missing.

When I do a fastboot oem lock, it shows that my phone is unlocked. I am quite confused as to why no programs that require root work for this phone.

Is their any programs out there that can verify that phone is rooted. Is their any technique other then what I tried that can verify it.

I am stuck and I dont know what else to do.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I cannot be the only one.

Simply unlocking the boot loader does not give you root. Check the stickies in the dev forum a guide

I have checked. If you could "simply" provide a link to even one sticky with this information other than the "obvious" answer you provided I'd be quite appreciative.
If you don't know that is fine to. Don't be the guy/gal who gives driving directions but has no idea.

Thanks!

You need to install the root binaries to achieve root, look in the general thread and theirs a guide to show you how to root with superboot r3. Once you run it in adb, it will install the binaries and superuser apk. Then after go to the market and search busybox, install the app and let it install the busy box file.
It is impossible that your missing a kernel if your phone can boot. The programs you installed to check "root" are not compatible with the phone. For future reference, check the stickies in the general thread.
