Hi,

I have an I9505 (Samsung S4) and have used cf-root many times -- thanks :)

I'm not familiar with exactly how it works, so apologies if this question is a little naive

However I have a slightly unusual question. For the last few weeks I've been running a stock rom NOT rooted, due to some apps I need to use that are problematic with root - including sky go. Frustratingly I have some bloat I need to deal with so am considering temporarily rooting to perform some cleanup.

Is there a companion to cf-autoroot that will undo everthing it does?

Presumably rooting will cause ro.secure to be set to 1? Does cf-autoroot rebuild the kernel ramdisk?

If so is there a reverse procedure?

I'm also toying with the idea of trying a customized google edition rom, or an alternative kernel but these tend to come pre-rooted, and presumably with ro.secure set to 0, which amongst other things will cause certain apps like skygo to throw a wobbler

Thanks

Nigel.

Have you tried Hide My Root?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] planetf1:
Interestingly sky themselves suggest using a superSU "full unroot". as per http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Go-on-Android/Sky-Go-Advice-for-Rooted-Devices/td-p/1505409

Does this reset ro.secure I wonder?

Will try anyway after a backup

do you know the Xposed Framework?

There is a module, which you can use to hide root from specific apps... I guess it works similar to "Hide My Root".

Can't get SU binary updated

I have a GT Note 10.1 N8010. Updated from 4.1.2 (rooted) to 4.4.2 with stock ROM. Rooted with CF autoroot. But after opening SuperSU I get the message for updating the SU binary. I tried the normal way, then I get the message Installation failed, restart and try again. It doesn't get updated. When trying by TWRP no fail messages, after restarting and opening SuperSU the same message appears for updating the SU binary.

I also tried to flash SuperSU-v2.01.zip with TWRP, but it doesn't make sense.

I am on stock rom and rooted. But after updating from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2 I can't get SuperSU normal running. SuperSU is working for rooted apps, but I can't get in settings tab of SuperSU.

Anybody can help me?

I took the OTA for 4.4.2 on GTN5110. Followed root instructions for cf root using odin and it passed. Tablet rebooted but superuser keeps giving error. I cannot uninstall cause it is a system app and tablet is still not rooted. Tried downloading SU apk but it wouldn't install. I did a factory reset but superuser app stayed on. Also tried kies but that would not work either. Also downloaded official firmware to try and install with odin but that would not work either.

I9197 CF root / locked bootloader

Just a question im hoping someone can help me with

I have an S4 mini, I-9197 with std firmware, 4.2.2

build is I9197XXUBML3 which has knox and locked bootloader

I would like to get root on this device to run a particular app, but according to CF website

"UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device"

So has anyone sucessfully got root on this model phone and software or is it not possible due to locked bootloader and potentially bricking it,

Im not concerned with KNOX warranty status as i dont use any apps that need it, just need root access.

The stock firmware you downloaded from SamMobile is a zip file. Containing it is a .tar.md5 file. Just rename it to .tar, and archivers like WinRAR (for example) will open it, and you can simply pull the recovery.img file out of it ...

Clock app and Google Now Launcher problems

This weekend I installed CF Auto Root on my Nexus 5 that has stock Android 4.4.4 using the ART runtime. I noticed some weird behaviour in the Google Now Launcher, where sometimes a folder on the Home Screen won't open. If you press the folder's icon it changes into the small circle, but the flyout containing the app icons that reside within the folder doesn't apppear (see attached screenshot). Also I noticed the Clock app shows weird behaviour when setting alarms. When you set a repeating alarm and change the days it often doesn't respond to taps. Also sometimes all day names disappear (see screenshot).

I've never had these problems before and the only change is that I now run CF auto root. Can these problems be related to CF Auto Root in any way?
