Rooted my Galaxy nexus and installed SuperSU 0.92 in recovery mode using recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img.
Opened SuperSU and it asked to update binaries - ok.
Then the playstore offered to update, so I allowed it to update to 0.94.
Then I noticed in the Settings
Cleanup for reinstallation from google play
I can't find anywhere that tells me exactly what this cleanup does,
so I am not sure if I should have run this 'cleanup' before doing the update from playstore.
What does "Cleanup for reinstallation from google play" do?
Searches turn up no info.
Is it ok to do a playstore update without first doing the cleanup in the settings?
(pls excuse the basic question, haven't rooted my phones before,
and haven't yet installed any apps that use it).

Hello Members,
Maybe someone can help me:
2 Months ago i installed Market Access because I wanted to use Google Wallet (not available in germany).
If i search for Android Updates (now using 4.0.3) the phone says yes there is a update but if i download the updatefile and try to install, phone says "wrong update file, installation aborted".
Could it be that Market Access also affects which Updatefiles are downloaded???
If yes, is there any possibilty to switch back to normal?
I already deleted Market Access, but the problem still exists...
Thanks in advance!
Daniel
Before you removed market enabler, did you switch back to your region?
Hi sorry I am new here, I looked around and did not see an answer to this
I rooted my S3 yesterday using Kingo Android root and as far as I can tell everything worked properly (other apps detect that phone is rooted) but SuperSu is not working because Knox keeps on blocking it. I read a few fixes like just uninstalling SU and reinstalling via the play store but Kingo installed SuperSu as a system app so I cannot do this.
Do I have to reroot or is there an easy way to reinstall SuperSU so that knox is not in the way (all none of the ways to deactivate Knoxs from within the phone do not work because none of my root apps have superuser), I am a bit of a noob when it comes to cell phones.
An suggestions? Also I am looking to keep the data that is already on the phone
EDIT: I got it working
For anyone else having this issue I went to chainfire's website and downloaded the newest version of SuperSU
I opened the Zip found the apk (found in the common folder) and uploaded it to my phone.
Using the default filemanager I opened and installed the apk.
Since it is a higher version then the one in the store it let me update the original failed SU install.
Upon starting SU it updated the binaries and also disabled knox.
Just tried this way and it worked for me thanks. I had same issues there was no option to update from store and Knox kept stopping such..

Hello to all,
I recently rooted my sgs3 sph-L710 v4.3 and am experiencing some problems. Whenever I try to open superusers it automatically closes, and I receive a notification saying, "security notice an attempt to access a secure area on your phone without authorization has been blocked." After doing some research online I discovered that the 4.3 version is protected by KNOX. Online sources state that in order to defeat the KNOX system you must update supersu, but I am not sure how to do that. Whenever I download supersu from the Google play store there is no option to update it. I would really appreciate any help thanks.

Have you checked to make sure you haven't lost root? When you install an app from Google play, you get the latest version.

Also, have you actually opened up the SuperSU app? You need to open it up (not just download it) so that it will prompt you about disabling Knox, and it might also prompt you to update the binaries. And which custom recovery are you using? If need be, you can flash the SuperSU zip from recovery, and if you are using Philz Touch (HIGHLY recommended) there is an option to have it check for root before booting back into system.
I did it!!!

Yes I finally got it to work I just re rooted the device and superuser was gone. However, i downloaded supersu and it prompted me to update, i did and I was able to bypass knox! I think it was a problem with the method I used to get my phone rooted the first time. The video tutorial I watched the first time told me to uncheck the 2 boxes that come prechecked on odin i believe one of them was auto reboot i cant recall the other one. Then I took out the battery of the phone and selected the root file through mod recovery mode and that was it. The second time around I left the boxes checked and my phone auto restarted. I then downloaded supersu updated,rebooted, and Visalia!!!
Thanks guys I appreciate the help.
so I rooted my galaxy tab s 8.4
I rooted and saw it installed super su. I went and ran super su to install the binarys but all it asked me to do is disable knox. which I did and was successful. I then installed twrp and that went fine. since I'm still on stock. How do I disable OTA updates? thank you in advance.
I don't know if it is the correct way to do it, but I just froze the two files called software update in the system files and one called fwupdate (I think). I can get you the correct names of the files tonight.
As promised, here are the three things I froze:
2 x Software Update
1 x FW Upgrade
Though I think you may only need to disable FWupgrade. I have just enabled the two called 'Software Update' and they seem to be connected to app updates and not OTA.

I found the two softare upgrade files and froze them with rom toolbox lite.
I could not find the FW upgrade file you are referring to.
The app I used is called 'Root App Delete' and it is available on Google Play. If you install that, then go into System Apps and select Junior mode (to freeze rather than delete), it should show in that list.
You won't be able to ota with Root and/or custom recovery installed. There's nothing to do.
Also be very careful when deleting system apps.
Ensure you have made a system backup in recovery.
I need a little help here, I have the unlocked variant of the phone that I'm using on T-Mobile. I use the my account app to keep track of my data usage and other things, the thing is that the latest version does not work properly. So I decided to go back to an older version of the application that works absolutely fine. Here's my question, is there any way that I can slightly modify the app so that it will not keep popping up in the play store letting me know that there is an update available? I know that I can disable auto updating of the application which I already have done but I would like to figure out if there's a way that I can get it to disappear from my apps list in Google play.
Any help with this would be tremendously appreciated
Titanium backup has a remove/detach from market option but that requires root.
the other option would be to resign the apk with a different key compile then then install it, it will still show the updates available on the play store but installing the update will fail

I'd do that the last time I did stuff like that was with kitkat, any guides for doing it with marshmallow?
