Anti Theft unrooted?

Avast Mobile Apps Avast Anti-Theft for Android
1

Hi, I installed AMS and Anti-theft rooted, but recently I noticed that Anti-theft reports Root Installation=no from the System State screen, and the options requiring root are greyed out. AMS itself is still rooted, and AT is still listed as a device administrator via its disguised name.

I think this may have happened after a software update. I noticed this problem some time after updating AMS and AT through Google Play. Unsure if I should have updated AT through Play.

How can I restore AT to rooted operation?

I have a Samsung SGH-i927R running stock Gingerbread ROM (rooted). I am using CWM superuser.

Thanks

Hello,

if you were able to install/update it through google play, you had a non-rooted installation.

my course of action would be:

  • open AMS > Settings > AT removal wizard
  • open AMS > Anti-Theft
  • installation starts now
  • select advanced installation and “rooted” in a later step.

this should give you a rooted installation (again).
