Hiding root access? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Dixperia 2 rom with doomkernel and would like to do my barclays banking using there app! It requires a unrooted phone to work so my question is, is it possible to hide that I have root so the app works?

In Superuser there's a temp unroot option.

Why does it matter if its rooted or not? Does it detect it? And for an app to block root is a little pointless.

The barclays app will not install on a rooted device and exits as soon as it detects root access. Just tried the temp unroot option in superuser and can confirm to the OP the it works and the barclays app installs fine when using that option

I think they recommend it.
Btw why not try by myself?

I don't know if it will, but try.
Also, the newest SuperUser allows a temporary unroot, maybe just use that to access it.

Root question

Is it possible to root the device, make what modifications you need to then remove root as there a few apps I have that won't work if I'm rooted yet I'd like to make a few mods but that would require rooting.

No, because every time you start a root app it will ask for root permission. What are the apps that won't work while rooted? I haven't ran into any yet my self.

A Root App ask only first start for root permissions.
A Root App won´t work with all functions without root permission
I suppose it's possible to make modifications to the system with root and maintaining hem after removing root, but that would have to be a one time modification.

It would not be possible for you to access any root app and access them after unroot as it will request permissions from Super Su and more over if you try and access it would either crash or give you an error saying you donjt have root access.
For example I want to modify the standard keyboard so the symbols show on the keys but you need to root to do this yet if I root, Sky Go won't work so I'm wondering if I could root, modify the keyboard then unroot so Sky Go still works but the keyboards mod still works

Unroot via Framaroot

Rooted via framaroot, installed Xposed vut then I found I didnt need root so I un installed xposed framework and also unrooted via framaroot. Can Samsung find out it has been rooted? BTW system status is normal and my download mode is just like it was before I rooted

If your status is normal and binary counter says 'no' and 'samsung offical'.'
Then no,they can't know.

the next time you try rooting proceed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2445480 which provided a permanent root solution
Ok thanks. I rather do it this way simply because it allows me SuperSU and I can unroot easily without a PC

S3 Root?

So I updated my Telus S3 to 4.3 a couple weeks ago, I used cf-auto root to root my phone. Then I installed SuperSU from the playstore and SuperSU enabled a Knox block feature, so yah I thought my phone was rooted because SuperSU was working perfectly fine. But then a couple of root features didn't work, even though it says that SuperSU has granted it permission the app still mentions "error, no root access". Any solutions? And please if you're not 100% sure that you're method won't brick my phone then don't mention it.

Towelroot

The last time I was here, we could not root 4.3 without either unlocking bootloader or root 4.2 first. Don't know if things have changed since then? Now there is a new rooting app exploiting a newly discovered vulnerability and I wonder if it would work with the Xperia M on 4.3.. anyone tried it out yet?
Works. Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53425376
I tried to root 4.3 using towel root but when I try to root using the app and I click the button in it the app just hangs and after 4-5 seconds it fc's! I don't think it supports our device yet but no problem we have many other root methods. :angel::good:
It works!
But only half root.
You won't be able to use apps like foldermount.

Fix by nut does not work, after applying it my phone still restarts!
