[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chipfrank:
Good day all!

I have a bit of an odd question, my corporate IT department has switched over to a new moible phone deployment system called airwatch.

It is quite the big brother system, the list of permissions is astounding, with things like remote viewing of camera's, remote wipe, remote activation of GPS to determine location etc, etc, with the privacy issues set aside (I'm not doing anything wrong with my phone and I exceed performance goals so I'm not worried)

The one thing I cannot live with is the requirement that I cannot run any of my work apps on a rooted phone, as a matter of fact if I even try it will lock down my user account SYSTEM wide, meaning I will not be able to access my work laptop or web clients, without IT resetting my account (I learned the hard way)

My question is this, is there a way to retain root access but appear to not be rooted?

Assuming that "stealth"root is not possible, is there a process that I can root/unroot at will with any changes I have made while rooted remaining?

My needs are not too complicated, I would like to keep my custom debloated rom (jelly beans 10), further remove any unwanted apps, tweak a few settings and install my favorite mods and themes, then reroot my phone and install my work apps.

I'm very familiar with working with roms and mods, I have been doing so since the original moto droid, however if there is not a guide to follow I am lost in the woods.

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

I assume that the phone was given to you by your company. If thats the case. I would give it back and use my personal phone. I dont go for that invasion of my privacy. But they can do it because its not technically your phone. Now if you use your own phone they cant (legally) do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
They actually can do this if he chooses to use his phone with the network applications. All they have to do is say is to protect their systems and I'm assuming he's in some kind of high security job with all those monitoring so he probably agreed to in a contract before starting.

OP have you tried simply temp unrooting? The supersu app had that option or you could get ota root keeper and use it to temp unroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TonikJDK:
Also try voodoo ota rootkeeper. It has a root backup, unroot and restore feature.

Haven't used that particular suite but if it is like the others I have seen, it will alert to a changed state. I wouldn't risk it. Don't know where you work but I have seen plenty of companies hand out pink slips after a pen testing.

From an IT perspective, you are a niche when it comes to a responsible smart phone user. Most people just download every free app they find regardless of the full permissions. Throw in the ability to play cracked apps on a rooted device and it's a nightmare.

As far as byod on the network, a decent usage clause will still require you to consent to it before connecting usually.

Do you just use the device for email or do you vpn/etc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chipfrank:
Thanks for the advice all; here is what I found plus the info I left out

The phone is my phone, this is why I was a bit squirrely about the full set of permissions, theoretically someone could tun on the camera at any time and snap photos, since it sits on my nightstand that could be a bit akward....

The usage is primarily for exchange email, and several proprietary apps, ordering, account info, truck tracking etc etc

Temp unroot using the option in the SU does not work

Oddly enough the Vodoo OTA rootkeeper seems to accomplish the task:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] niedejb:
Does the Voodoo OTA rootkeeper keep the periodic server check of the device from seeing it as rooted?

[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
1st if you haven't tried it yet go to recovery and do a wipe and reset.

If that don't work...

Find the Electrify 2.3.5 USC_19 sbf file you can install to get back up and running. But its not sprint. You have to install a couple of other files to get the sprint radio and wi-fi to work. It's all here, google is your friend.

Every kernel works on every nook.

I use v166 (applied via CWM) on my NST and NSTGL.

To use Fast Mode on FW 1.2.x you have to use my script for "Gscript" (for now) read the ' [Kernel] OC to 1100Mhz and linaro gcc 4.7 (New version with fast display mode)' thread for details.

Another way is to downgrade to FW 1.1.5 and don't bother playing with scripts.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
This is exactly what I was wondering :) but was afraid to ask in order not to look like a noob :)

I mean, I know the basics of the technology, but any good use? I mean, I don't care about NFC tags that I have to glue to my desk, because I already have a better way to turn on wifi automatically or do different stuff (i.e. Setting Profiles uses GPS or GSM location to do these things).

I mean - I have Nexus 7 and Note 2, which both have NFC. I saw some demonstrations concerning file trenasfer between phones and what not... But when I put my Note 2 onto N7, I only hear a beep and that's it... what has to be done i.e. to use NFC to transfer something between these 2 devices? Does this work in combo with Wifi direct?

(I'm pretty certain I was amongst the first to get it booted on anything other than the developer platform, lol) NFC though, I've not really had much use for it. Got a few devices which support it, my partner's S2 as well, although trying to get the I9100P's party piece working in an I9100 CM10.1 ROM has been hit and miss. I should grab some tags to use for profile switching and app launching on my Nexuses (Nexii?), it seems like the only thing I'm likely to use it for in the short term, at least.

When I got my note2 i was playing music on it through the music player on the phone and noticed an icon on the upper left hand corner. When i hit it all of a sudden the music started to play stream through my Xbox and i thought this was an awesome feature! Tested it with my photos and videos and it all worked great. Since then i rooted my phone and got rid of what i thought was bloatware. Today i tried to play music through my Xbox again and the icon was gone, so i figured i mustve deleted the app that allowed me to do this. Can anyone help me out and tell me what was it that I accidentally deleted and mistook for bloatware? I tried to reinstall the Allshare Play app, but the icon in my music player is still missing and no streaming to xbox. Any help?
