[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Unroot and custom ROM are a contradiction in terms. Installing a custom ROM means making modifications to your device's operating system which necessarily requires root access. If you want to be compliant with this particular device, therefore, you would need to revert to the full 4.3 stock ROM. If you need to do this, there's a thread somewhere that contains the full 4.3 restore image.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] milleralexis768:
I guess that this is not possible.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Flashing a ROM does not require root. The custom recovery and the actual Android operating system are two completely different operating systems.

~~~~~

If your work isn't allowing you to be rooted on their email server, I believe you can hide root with a certain application that is on my tongue. I'll more than likely edit my post when it comes to my mind again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mkfryan:
I believe super user and super su both have unroot options. So you could get your ROM setup three way you want then unroot. Otherwise like codemonkey said I believe there is an app I've seen to hide root

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
If you are flashing a custom ROM that does not require pre-root, it's because the root process is embedded into the whole installation process of the ROM itself. Thus, you may not see it but it's there all the same. The basic definition of root itself is making changes/gaining privileged access to the core of your phone's operating system which is what you are doing when you install a custom ROM. It may be possible indeed to hide root but it doesn't change the fact that it's there and it would all boil down to how the Company's enterprise system is set to function. If it is set up to use Knox security settings which mostly favors corporate environments, then it may be difficult to by-pass.

Look through the exposed framework module download section there should be me one there that will help you I saw it yesterday it says it will hide root from a app without uprooting your phone

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alexandre-P:
Question here: if he unroots, would an update to his ROM re-root? I mean, it would most certainly re-install SuperSU/Superuser, particularly if the new ROM version includes a newer SuperSU/Superuser. So that would mean he would have to un-root after every upgrade...

--------

I too saw an Xposed module for this (RootCloak, not to name it ; and if the corporate email app is Good For Enterprise, there is also Good for Enterprise Disable Root Check). Haven't tried any of them. But read the fine prints, as they say when an app would still be able to find root even if it's hidden.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vbetts:
If the rom update includes busybox it will.

I accidentally unrooted my device though. I did the fix root command in recovery mode, then deleted the original SU app on my device and it did unroot it. Problem is with a custom rom, you depend on root for everything!

There is an option In whatsapp to do this (send messages using enter) but there isn't on bbm or SMS app . So I beleave this is a samsungime thing. Because I just updated a friend's 9505 and the send on enter while on bbm is shown but not on mine 9500 .

I got most stuff working, except the stupid BT headset! (which is stopping me from trying VoIP functions....) The stowaway folding keyboard is in particualr a star accessory - works great and is actually faster than my normal aux laptop keyboard! As for "messengering" while walking in the dark across a field - both the built in and the virtual keyboard (the regular, not an accessory, were both very useful, although I think the virtual one was actually a little faster...

GPS receiver was the first device to be recognized - but I still haven't chosen any GPS software to make use of it - might try the "I" one or tom-tom...not sure yet

Aside from fighting with the BT headset, which is also putting up a fight on the laptop and so may have a problem in of itself... my next project is a decent chat client. Several recommended wmirc, especially the 2.0 version, and I want to get it. But aside from paying for it, which is cool - I sent the guy with mIRC a donation since I use that one a lot - wmirc wants you to choose versions - "smartphone" or "pocket pc", with no further description as to what qualifies as what. I sent them an email but have heard nothing - so what's the opinion? Should I get the "smartphone" version or the "pocket PC" one? I've heard both terms used to describe the better PDA's like the Wizard during my 2 weeks of research that led to me choosing the MDA....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] b1b3tt3r:
After trying to loading a nightly Dirty unicorm ROM I lost my Cellular radio.

I reflashed to CM 11, and then lost my touch keyboard (noted by AOSP failure)

Frustraded I tried to restore from my backups in Twrp 2.7, but the backups were not recognized.

Panic set in... hours of internet trolling...

I've tried multiple computers, different USB cables.

The phone boots to the Galaxy screen then goes black.

I have gone to samsung-updates to find a matching image for Sprint SPH-L900, but it is not there. I have grabbed the 7100 international, but cannot get the USB to be recognized.

At this point the phone will only boot in to ODIN mode, (downloading...)

The usb connection registers with a beep when connecting to the PC, but I cannot tell what's up beyond that...

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Try flashing this thru Odin on your pc. If it takes it then try to flash another ROM. Wiping cache/dalvik...you might need to do a factory reset. All data on phones internal sd will be lost. So try wiping caches only first and see if that gets you going.

This is Philz touch recovery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Your loss of cellular radio probably stemmed from TWRP. There's a reason no ROM dev recommends using TWRP on the L900 with 4.4 builds. I'm honestly surprised with TWRP2.7 you were able to flash considering the issues testers were having with it.

That being said, do you have the USB drivers installed on your host machine? If not, then that is your problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] b1b3tt3r:
Yes, I do have the samsung drivers installed.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RicardoA:
Hi

When i boot my P6, on the bootscreen there are 3 wierd pixels iluminated. Look at phone screen on bottom right corner:

They apeared when i had stock rom (B606)

i only did root using eRoot Tool

i had instaled busybox because an app to hide softkeys required busybox to be instaled, but i didnt changed anything in busybox (unless some app did)

How can i fix that? when i brought this phone one month ago they were not there.

Someone sugested i could flash boot.img??? is that image part of boot.img? is that right? i dant want to brick my phone.

Now i'm on firmware B506 with recovery TWRP 2.6.3.7, all is working fine but i just want to get rid of that pixels.

Help would be apreciated! Thanks in advance!

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RicardoA:
But that bug is only in bootscreen. It's not bad pixels. Don't u think its possible to be a bug in ASCEND P6 logo image? Can i flash boot.img to see if it fixes? If i flash boot.img will i lose my recovery or rom?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ZuperStyler:
No, you will not lose anything, you can flash the boot animation, maybe it will fix the problem.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RicardoA:
do i have to flash a specific boot.img or there are ony one comom file to all P6 devices? Is boot.img the kernel?

Hi Guys

I recently bought a Tablet Z and am currently running the latest official 10.4.b.0.109 firmware for Wifi models.

I am aware that there are guides for rooting the firmware version before this as well as upgrading a rooted device to the latest version but I can't seem to find a guide for rooting my current official firmware from scratch.

I'd like to be able to do this so I can run 'root-only' apps and be able to turn off the screen whilst using an MHL adapter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aid777:
I did this a week ago, and what a carry on I had, I thought i bust my tablet

I downgraded to .370 version using official firmware with flashtool, then I rooted using DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_perf-event-exploit (this is the easy part)

Then I used .109 version firmware (stripped ftf and flashable zip) - this is where it went wrong as I got into a boot loop

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2671276

I used both DE versions (German) for the flash/install - still works on UK tablet

I think there is a specific order to install busybox before or after dual recovery - this might be where it went wrong for me.

I also used an older version of dual recovery, (TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.94-BETA.installer) and have yet to flash to the latest version

Sorry this is a bit muddled.

I was provided with an Anker Astro mini 3000 mAh external battery for evaluation recently. I have used it for trips to Costa Rica and Galveston Texas. It is a compact unit, cylindrical in shape, measuring 3 5/8 inches in length with a diameter slightly less than 1 inch. The one I received is black in color. It came with a nice mesh bag case to protect it while carrying it around and a micro USB - USB connector. It has a USB slot to connect it for charging external devices and a micro USB slot to connect it for charging from a powered USB computer port or a wall charger. It easily fits into a pocket or purse. I have used it to extend my S4 battery life while watching video as well as to charge it from less than 1/3 battery remaining on the S4. It has worked great and has plenty of power to extend operation for a considerable amount of time or to charge the S4 battery when it is low. It has a green LED to show it is charging a device and a yellow LED to show it is being charged. It goes for $19.99 on Amazon and is similarly priced at other sites. For the money, if you are looking for a compact external battery that will keep you going to watch a movie, a game, etc. or you have a need to charge an S4 or similar smart phone while away from outlets, I can highly recommend this great little Anker unit.

But also, I want to be able to use my Nexus Qi wireless charger. Aaaand the question is - does that charger will affect battery of ZeroLemon in any way? Will it destroy it somehow?

And 2nd question - can I charge my Nexus battery and ZeroLemon in the same time?

Pretty sure the Qi charger will NOT charge your Nexus 5, as the case is too thick and the additional battery is in the way.

Nope, you can't use Qi while the battery case is on because the external battery in the casr will be covering the Qi receiver in the phone.

While the case is on you will have to charge wired.
