Hi,

I've rooted my Samsung S4 (GT-i9505) running 4.4.2 using towelroot.

However the device status says Custom (Settings > More > about device > Status).

I've tried the instructions on this forum to try to change it but it still says Custom.

Triangle away says Counter 0, Binary: Official, System: Official.

I've tried changing things in Wanam Exposed but it hasnt worked. Does anyone have any instructions on what to change exactly or another way of changing the Device status back to Official?

Many thanks

When your fone start up go to xposed and moduls and push wanam xposed. Don't rebot fone. Now exit xposed and go to wanam xposed and go to hack security and push knox and custom status. Don't reboot device. Go exit wanam xposed and now restart fone.

Yes, on some of them. For example Xperia Tablet z and samsung note pro. Unless they are security-updated in the past week.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] windstrings:
As I posted earlier, mine bounces back and forth.

If it was one particular program seems it wouldn't get happy and say official "like it's saying right now" and the next day it may say custom.

I Do notice if I Monkey with stuff like start freezing things etc it seems to Lean towards saying custom.. After the dust settles seems to have back to official.

Worked perfect on my T-Mobile Nexus 5 running 4.4.4 YAH!!

Unroot and still showing custom status.

I'm on ATT Note 3 4.4.2 and notice when I do a full unroot with supersu and reboot my system status shows as custom. If I run towelroot and supersu again my system status shows as official. Supersu won't prompt to disable knox either.

I'm staying root but thought this information might help someone figure something out for those who want unroot and official.

Do you guys think version 4 of towelroot will support the Samsung galaxy note 2(Verizon) and other devices that can't be rooted with the current version?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] maid:
what else do I need to do to stop updates etc
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Sometimes the first setup of Titanium is tricky. You need it to be set this way to the "Backup location" --> /mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup

From the main screen "Overview" press the Menu key once > Select Preferences > Scroll down and press Backup Folder Location (this is in the section titled Backup Settings) Press the Go Back Key 3 times > Choose Mnt > Choose extSDCard > now press Detect and choose SD card and you'll see your SD card. I've attached some photos showing the sequence. It may seem tough but it really isn't. Just follow the steps I gave you and it should be pretty quick. Once you're all setup it will look like the last 2 photos.

BE SURE TO PRESS RUN FOR "Backup new user+system apps & newer versions". Then you can schedule Titanium to do its own backups when you'd like it to. Buy the Pro key (I think it's $3.99 or $4.99) because this will allow Batch Actions which will do everything - otherwise you'd have to do each app individually which will take a ridiculous amount of time.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Here are the last few photos
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] maid:
done I think its working.

What do I need to do to stop updates of firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Check for Titanium update. The current version I got after getting towelroot last week is version 6.1.5.6
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Uninstall immediately

- KLMS Agent 2.2113

- KNOX 1.0

- KNOX Store 1.0

- FWUpgrade 1.2.0

- Security Policy Update...SPD_v2_1402_4_1

- SDM 1.0

Once they've been dumped they will be underlined at the bottom of the Titanium screen.

Like this
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] maid:
dont see any of these
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
I froze these, but didn’t uninstall for some reason. (I have Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon)

Anything and everything KNOX should be frozen or uninstalled

.

- Knox Notification Manager 1.0

- Samsung KNOX 3.0

Did you get SuperSU yet? When that loads it will give you the option to disable KNOX. CHOOSE "NORMAL"

This is Free Over The Air update and MUST BE frozen or removed

- LocalFOTA v2_1312_2_2

Security update also must be frozen or removed

- SecurityStorage 4.4.2-I545VRUFNC5

- SecurityManagerService 1.0.8

Again, I have Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon

Did you do what I advised in post #3755 above? Look at the photos I posted for you.

edit - I don't *think* any of this (freezing or uninstalling) can be done until you've set up Titanium Backup (FYI it's also known as TiBu forums)

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

I'm giving you the best advice I can and you need to remember that I am speaking of my experience with a Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon. If you have a different device and or a different carrier what I am telling you won't help. You'll have to find someone with your device & carrier.

Thanks for this!!! I recently rooted my TF201 Asus tablet,and was looking to find a simple root for my N900V. The only real question I have and maybe it was already answered but I was curious if anyone knows of a valid "unrooted" base image of the 4.4.2 for the N900V. Incase if anything goes wrong.

I checked Samsung and the only software I saw were PC USB drivers.

I'm running the same version of TiBu as you. Under Pro/Donate version mine shows my name and email. How did you remove that on yours?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Dunno :confused: That's just what my screen looks like. Only thing it may be is that I've had TiBu Pro since 2010 & it's "internal" settings may have changed over the years as I've loaded it on 4 different Android phones. If you don't know, once you buy the Pro version you can load it on other phones, it doesn't need to be bought for each phone as your email address links your phone to them.

Did you just get it recently? Perhaps what you see (name and email) will change after you've used it to backup your stuff a few times or in a few weeks or xxx amount of reboots? Have you RUN it yet on your current device? Set it in the Schedules column to do a backup? I'm just guessing, I really can't give you a solid answer why it has a different display than yours? Sorry I can't give you more.

Note 3 kernel update needed

I have been unable to find any reference to resolving this issue in the OP: "Note 3 with kernel 3.4.0-257432 doesn't seem to work. Updating to 722276 should fix"

I seem to be stuck (I'm on Verizon) in that unworkable area with Kernel 257432. Can anyone suggest how my stock, unrooted Note 3 can be updated to Kernel 722276 ?

I have read all 375 pages of this forum, most of the Note 3 forum here on XDA and many others without success. I'm not new to rooting, ROMS, etc. but I find that I am very frustrated over this seemingly simple issue. Of course there is no update available from Verizon OTA for me.

Usage on Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 WiFi (Qualcomm variant)

Hey guys, I wanted to use this method to only root my device. But somehow it only reboots and does nothing. Obviously it failed. Is there anything I can do to make it work anyhow? The reason I want to use this method is, because it does not seem to trip knox. The only reason I need root is to use an adblocker, rest would be stock. Over at the Tab Pro 8.4 Forums somebody told they rooted their device with towelroot, so I tought maybe it would still be possible somehow.

going into settings in SuperSu and clicking Fully Unroot.

Is it possible with Towelroot?

I need to unroot to get my bloody Barclays app to work.....

Towelroot on Verizon Note 2 i605 Kit Kat 4.4.2

I can personally confirm that towelroot is not working for Verizon Note 2 i605 Kit Kat 4.4.2. It just makes the phone reboot. Is there anything I can do to help the development of this root method so that it will work for Verizon Note 2 i605 Kit Kat 4.4.2?

I'm new to Android and so far my device can't be rooted by any of the tools available such as vRoot, Framaroot, and Shuame. Manual rooting using psneuter also failed.

As for the device itself, it's a Chinese clone of the Galaxy S5 running Android 4.4.2. Most of the information was spoofed by the factory, so it reports incorrect specs such as model number and RAM. I have no idea what ROM or kernel it uses. Is it still possible to find a way to root under these circumstances?
