I use GFE and I am rooted using mostly stock ei22 rom from xbtx. I thought GFE app had some sort of checking for rooted devices not that the company checked for rooted phone. How would the company check to see that your phone was rooted ?
[Epic 4G General] toolegit:
Good For Enterprise, it's an app to get your corporate email on your phone.

I use it, and we don't check for root.... I seem to recall from my GFE training that they can check for it, we don't.
[Epic 4G General] rockrerun:
I use GFE and I also have it deployed to hundreds of users at my company. I'm not sure if I'm somehow using a different version of the Good management console, but I don't remember having an option to check for rooted devices? I'll double check tomorrow, but I feel like I would remember seeing that option.
[Epic 4G General] cerchiara:
GFE the app has a check. From what I read it looks for superuser.apk and whatever else is root related. Coworker of mine has the same phone and rooted rom and got a message that the phone won't provision with gfe because against company policy i.e. phone is rooted.
[Epic 4G General] Stringyquark:
the donate version of superuser has ghost mode, the apk hides and you can only access it through a dialer code you select. you can set it to refuse and superuser requests while in ghost mode or to allow based of your settings.

can you check for superuser without superuser permissions?

i'm sure you need something more but a chance to plug elite, i couldn't refuse.
[Epic 4G General] cerchiara:
Thanks. I'll give the ghost superuser a try. Maybe a combination of SuperCurio rootkeeper and this will work.

Well I got the superuser elite but it looks like ghost mode just hides the icon. Not sure if this will work. As GFE will still find superuser in both the /sbin and /xbin.

Update- Still not in compliance tried both rootkeeper and super user elite.
[Epic 4G General] lawlhai:
Unfortunately, this will not work. I'm not sure what doesn't match up, but each time you flash, even from a backup, it will want you to reactivate with the Good server. Fortunately, I work in IT and can get a PIN in about 4 seconds, but for someone who is at the mercy of their IT department...flashing then begging them for a new PIN isn't a good option :P
[Epic 4G General] toolegit:
Weird. I backup with MyBackup Pro, and I don't have to reset my PIN every time.....
[Epic 4G General] cerchiara:
From what i gather as long as you backup good in offline mode. It wont require a pin everytime you flash. I haven't tested this my self but have read people having success using this method.
[Epic 4G General] toolegit:
That could be, I only turn mine on when I'm oncall.

Can you set your PIN to never expire? Last job we had that, so the handful of users who had it didn't have to get a new PIN every time.

I've been looking for Jailbreak/Root detection, but haven't found it yet. Saw it in a manual but it didn't say where to set it.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Ae these companies you guys are talking about using exchange email servers or what?? What is so different that you are using this gfe app rather than stock email app? I run corporate exchange from stock email app and no issues with being rooted however I am the network admin too though lol.
[Epic 4G General] toolegit:
Supposedly, GFE allows for better data protection. We pay for it because of the potential for PHI* on the device. We do have OMA here, but until we upgrade our servers to Exchange2010 we don't have as much control over the device and can't remotely wipe it if it goes missing.

Or so I'm told. /shrug

[Epic 4G General] cerchiara:
So I went ahead and tried to unroot my rom. By just deleting superuser.apk and su by using adb. Only issue I'm seeing is that everytime I reboot su and superuser.apk come back and the phone is rooted again. Any ideas why? Surely GFE will not work if root returns after reboot :(.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
You're using a rooted kernel.
[Epic 4G General] cerchiara:
Thanks k0nane! That makes sense.
[Epic 4G General] calisro:
I use a combo of renaming superuser.apk and installing supersu and freezing gfe to bypass the checks.... pm me if u need info.

Reviving this thread because I have been trying to figure out how to bypass GFE for a while and I'm sure others that use that pos app will want help like I did. Threads old. Topic isnt
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
Yes, that app sucks. I hate that I have to use it also. My company didnt have it check for root for a year, then one day boom! I wasted some IT guys day pissing and moaning about my Good app not working. Then at 5.00 he asked if I was rooted by any chance.

You would have to find a way to install a custom rom and kernel and then unroot for it to work.

Worst part is those ****ty app developers cant figure out how to get GFE to actually send/receive emails all day correctly, but hell at least nobody can use it with a rooted phone.
[Epic 4G General] calisro:
I have a work around now ;)
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
Mind sharing?
[Epic 4G General] orlzzt:
I don't get it. I use GFE. I own my device. I use GFE to check my WORK emails on MY time. If I root MY device, why do the IT people care? The whole point of GFE is to protect and encrypt the email data. Does rooting really compromise the security? If so, why bother using GFE at all?

FTR- our company has no such policy which forbids use of a rooted device.

[Epic 4G General] jeffreyjicha:
Run cm9 or cm10 go into developer settings and disable root
[Epic 4G General] calisro:
That doesn't stop detection. Did u actually try your advice?
[Epic 4G General] jeffreyjicha:
Not with this app specifically, but I used joeykrim's root checker with root disabled, and it didn't detect root at all.
[Epic 4G General] calisro:
root checker checks for su and is a utility to make sure root is "working".

Good checks for su, packages, combs logcats for key words, checks background tasks, etc. Not even close...
[Epic 4G General] slakdawg:
So, you gonna share with class or not :D
[Epic 4G General] jeffreyjicha:
I think someone should try my suggestion anyway, because none on us knows exactly what disabling root does.

[Epic 4G General] gedm:
Hi,

Thanks very much for the scipts. I have a couple of questions:

1. Permissions Denied does not show READ_LOGS permission for Good. Can you please confirm that is the correct permission I should be looking for. I found and disabled RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED but I can not find READ_LOGS.

2. su is not in /system/xbin/su. Should I change the location to /system/bin/su? Is it possible to have more than one su on the system?

3. superuser still seems to work even after the apk has been renamed. Do I neet to kill superuser from memory?

4. if I run the scripts with su selected in script manager, the Disable_root script runs. Obviously the enable_root wont run because there is no su file to run. If I run the scripts in Scriptmanager without root selected I get several "segmentation fault" messages and the script doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
[Epic 4G General] calisro:
1. READ_LOGS is there for any rom before jelly bean. In jelly bean that permission is no longer valid as it has been locked down from apps.

2. Just change the path in the script. and yes its possible to have one in both bin and xbin. Sounds like you dont though.

3. It sounds like your super user apk is named differently. Look in /system/app/ for the super user apk. Make sure the name matches my script and if not, update my script with the correct name. They can name it anything depending on the dev of the rom.

4. you should not have su selected in the script. Im not sure why the script manager is crashing. Try running the script in a shell like adb or connectbot or something and make sure it runs. Might be something unique in your setup.

Post back and I/'ll help you further. Also let me know what ROM you are on. THx
[Epic 4G General] calisro:
I figured out the segmentation fault issue. I'll post some updated scripts soon.
[Epic 4G General] calisro:
Adding this the beginning of the scripts (after the #!/.....) will get rid of the segmentation faults.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib
[Epic 4G General] RTHppc:
Thanks calisro for sharing this.

Does anyone know an alternative app to "Permissions Denied" because it is not free any more?
[Epic 4G General] calisro:
Not sure.
[Epic 4G General] gedm:
Hi Calisro,

I am using SuperSU but the APK file is called Superuser.apk so the script should still work correctly, right?

I think that although SuperSU was being renamed correctly, su was not because I had the wrong location in the script. Therefore, when su was being called it was accessing the Supersu database of allowed programs and therefore seemed to be working correctly.

As for the segmentation faults. You're a legend.

Thank you very much for the scripts and the assistance you have provided. Thanks again.
[Epic 4G General] calisro:
updated scripts. both package names are in there for supersu and superuser.

One lesson learned for me. esexplorer app will trigger good if it was open at some point prior to enabling good. unclear yet what it is detecting. I think turning off all root explorer option in the es app might help but not positive.
[Epic 4G General] RTHppc:
So, if I understand that right:

I'm working with my rooted device, doing normal stuff having ES explorer opened for whatever reaseon.

Then I decide to run Good --> Run script, work with Good, everything Ok.

When finished, I close Good and run the disable Good script.

ES Explorer will then start Good without a reason and my Good will be deactivated because of policy violation? Did I get this right?
[Epic 4G General] calisro:
no. run es explorer in root mode. then exit out. then you start good. bam. it detects root. I think its something with processes it leaves behind or something. still trying to figure it out. for now if you use es, reboot before turning good on.
[Epic 4G General] Fallon:
I fought rivers of blood trying to get GFE running on CM10 a while back (my notes at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33025295#post33025295) with no sucess. That ES Exporer revelation is interesting, & I might get motivated to poke at it again.

Anybody had any success with getting GFE running on CM10? I've just been manually installing/removing the .apk's to get root when needed on stock for now. Might get up the energy to try and see if I can get CM10 going again.
[Epic 4G General] calisro:
I run it on CM10.
[Epic 4G General] Fallon:
The update to your enable_good_disable_root.sh script seems to be missing the last line from the original version (and causing SM to complain about a lack of a quote)

am force-stop os.tools.scriptmanager"

Finally had sucess getting GFE running a recent CM10 nightly on my AT&T SGS3. Thanks for figuring out a good work around to enable GFE! It looks like my issues this go around were with Permissions Denied & me doing some uninstall-reinstall of GFE.

My process:

Uninstalled ES explorer (just to make sure it is not causing issues for now)

Installed GFE

Installed Script Manager (I've since upgraded to Script Manager-SManager(NoAds), always a good idea to support the devs)

Installed Permissions Denied

Installed su as /sdcard/rob_su

Opened Permissions Denied and disabled the following permission for the Good Application: READ_LOGS and RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

Rebooted from within Permissions Denied, checked & verified Good had the 2 permissions in question denied

Created the 3 scripts using the updated versions recently posted

setup_rootdoor.sh

enable_good_disable_root.sh (complete with the missing final line noted above)

disable_good_enable_root.sh

With Script Manager, ran setup_rootdoor.sh

Deleted all data for GFE through app manager

With Script Manager, ran enable_good_disable_root.sh

Activated GFE

Working GFE

Notes:

Permissions Denied takes FOREVER to startup, several minutes at least & you repeatidly see it getting root permissions, at first I thought it was having issues, but I guess that's normal behavior

No need to "Lock Permissions" within the Permissions Denied app from what I've seen

Under Developer Options "Root access" is irrelevant, GFE is working just fine with it set to "Apps and ADB right now"

GFE seems to be sucessfuly cleaned up by deleting app data from within app manager

GFE will work fine by wiping app data & initilizing it with a new PIN if you get things cleaned up after a policy violation

No need to get an unlock code from your sysadmins after a policy violation, just wipe app data for GFE & get a new PIN (assuming you have access to a website to request a new PIN

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SnowPluralism:
Hello There

For those who don't know what this, boot loop, is when after boot up image (Samsung galaxy ace s 5830 bla bla bla ... ) the phone stucks at the boot animation and it doesn't pass from there ... and keeps on showing it time after time over and over again endlessy until you pull your bat off.

This can happen for a many reasons most know are:

- When you try to change the boot animation on a stock samsung rom ( which was my case )

- When you trade rom, and some apps are left behind ande generate a conflict.

If you are in this situation dont pass out! its only a soft bick and its reversable!

You have only two solutions!

1 - Remove bat. whait a bit, put it back again, start your ace in recovery mode ( power + center button )

- Choose the option factory reset, and Wipe cache (This will clean all Your Data) and that ... should do it ... :) if like me after this process everything is good but you have no boot animation just undo what you've done to set the new boot animation and it should be good!

2 - If step one had no result's there is only one option left ... Install a new rom (stock or custom )

If you dont know how to do, it i'll leave a link to use odin tuturial and install custom rom tuturial

Ok so i know how to add and install Roms with CWm and Rom Manager

My question is though is it best to put to internal or external sdcard and on the internal card what files to delete before going into recovery and installing rom etc

THANKS
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk1025:
From what I understand it's better to put it on the internal and take the external out so as not to confuse them when you do go into recovery. As for which files to delete, do a wipe cache dalvik, partition and factory reset for seamless ROM integration
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
i figure i would make a post since so many people are asking for me for instructions on this.

1. Set up a proper APN

go into settings > wireless & networks > mobile network settings > access point names, and delete everything there and set up 1 apn with these attributes:

Name: ATT

APN: Phone

Proxy: <Not set>

Port: <Not set>

Username: <Not set>

Password: <Not set>

Server: <Not set>

MMSC: mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: <Not set>

APN type: default,mms,supl

APN protocol: IPv4

hit menu > save

setting the apn this way doesnt do much. it just ensures that you are NOT using att's proxy which will slow you down anyways. also never tether using a proxy, as att is allowed to snoop through your data and use it as a claim against you!

2. Disable GPRS/EDGE

something on the towerside makes your phone prefer sending data over the 2g edge network, which is how att throttles you. even if your notification bar says 3g/hspa/4g/hspa+ is available, you will be using edge to send your data. its easy enough to fix this though.

go into settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks > network preferences

it should be "GSM/WCDMA (preferred)" but change this to "WCDMA only"

please note: if you go into an area with 2g only, you will need to change your mobile network back to accepting GSM networks! since most of att's network is 2g, this might become necessary.

3. Make it stick with airplane mode!

go into settings > wireless & networks

check "Airplane mode" and then after being in airplane mode for 10-20 seconds, uncheck it.

be sure to run a speedtest before and after to make sure you are no longer being throttled!

these are the wordings for settings on cm7 which my phone is running. your phone may be slightly different. for example it my say "HSPA" instead of "WCDMA" but it should still hold true.

this is the exact same way tmobile throttles too, but they only start throttling when you hit 5gb down. att claims you will be throttled when you hit the "top 5% of your area" which is not a good policy because for me, that was 1.7gb. att also throttles all lines on an account. they are even throttling my little sister's iphone which used less than 100mb. very uncool att! i have yet to figure out a way around this on the iphone...

Password: CINGULAR1
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

Open Phone Dialer
