[Q] CM file manager - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm running CM10 and when launching CM file manager I get the message Unable to run in root Access mode. Right after I loaded CM10 it was working, i'm not sure at what point it quit working. Any suggestions?

Go to the super user app and see if it's in the exception list. If not make sure that the prompt check mark is checked them open the app and see if you get a prompt for root access. If it pops up click grant access, if not you might need to go in the super user app and clear it.
Sent from my pimped out phone

Would the exception list be under the apps tab in super user(Sorry for my noobyness)? At any rate I don't see any mention of File Manager. Super User was hanging for a few seconds on launch I think because of the log so I cleared and disabled that. Notifications are on. I don't have the elite lic, i have no qualms spending $3 for it if it is necessary. I cleared File Manager cache and when it launches i get the welcome screen followed by "Unable to run in root access mode. Change to safe mode?" At this point it crashes whether I choose yes or no.
Thanks for the response.

Yea it would be under the apps tab, try going into apps and clearing cache for the super user app it should work after that.

Ugh, still didn't work. Maybe I broke it cleaning out a CM10.1 install. Thanks anyways.

In the cm file manager go to settings/access mode and set it to root and it should pop up asking for root access.

Also, check your root access setting in system settings -> development. Select one of the options that allows apps to get root access

[q] super user privileges ??????

I rooted yesterday with the unrevoked one click process but when I go into the apps to access the super user it just goes to a black screen with no options what so ever.I downloaded a wi fi tether this morning it turns on but I can not connect to internet.Does anyone know how to unleash the super user permission I just want wi fi tethering but I really don't want to change roms and all of that heavy duty modifying I like my phone the way it is now
make sure the su binary is up to date.
open up super user. hit settings tab then scroll to bottom. touch the su binary to check for update and let it update.
open up your wireless tether and it should as if you want to grant permissions.
how do I do that there is no options to do as far as the super user priv goes i dont even think I properly installed the wi fi app either cause I cant find it
it should automatically pop up. and ask you if you want to grant super user permissions. let me look for a current apk. ill post up here in a bit.
ok here is the current super user that im using. came off a CM6 nightly from 9/20.
try it and see if that works. also make sure you update the binary too. or check that its the latest.
that should fix it.
reinstall wireless tether.
ok thanks let me see what happens

[SOLVED] Superuser Request doesn't "remember"

[SOLVED, see below].
I've also attached the Su flashable zip to this post, as linked below
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I recently rooted my Desire using unrevoked 3.2.1 Basically, no problems so far.
However, when I have tried to run a few Apps that require ROOT access, the Superuser pop-up screen shows, EVERY TIME.
I have clicked Allow, and made sure to check "Remember", but it comes back every time for the same Apps.
I have double-checked that the Apps requesting Superuser permissions are indeed in the Superuser.apk list for Allow. They are, little green dot and all, but it doesn't seem to matter.
I tried a Batch routine in Titanium Backup, and I had to click that damn Allow button like 150 times!
Does anyone have any idea what's going here? Anyone experienced the same thing?
I wonder if it is related to what mortenmhp mentioned over in this post (post 3, "Cant remove Stock apps? Root Explorer and Unrevoked3"; sorry, I can't link yet)...
the fact that unrevoked3 still does not achieve S-OFF HBOOT and thus doesn't r/w to /system.
Btw. the thread mentioned:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8324672#post8324672
Your problem should not have to do with this though.
The superuser app stores it's list on the data partition, and it should be able to grant su access to anything apart from rw to the protected partitions.
First off:
- Does it happen to all apps requesting su?
- Which version of superuser are you currently using?
- How did you get it? Like was it included in a rom or did you install it by flashing superuser only?
- If included in a rom, which?
And finally. You should start by trying to clear the data associated with the superuser app:
"settings -> applications -> application list* -> Superuser -> clear data button"
*I dont remember the exact name, and the charger for my desire is gone for now
If it does not work, you should also try to do a nandroid backup and a factory reset by wiping the data partition to see, if it doesn't fix it.
Thanks for your response, let me see if I can fill in some of the details:
Yes, it happens AFAIK for ALL Apps requesting Superuser access
Version: Superuser v2.3.6.1 - Added c...
Database version 5
(From the info at the bottom of the Superuser>Settings menu)
IIRC, I may have installed the App myself from the Market...? Is that even possible? Honestly, I may have jumped ahead of my knowledge in this one area. But I'm certain it wasn't from any flashing, unless unrevoked adds the App itself.
ROM, Froyo w/ HTC OTA Sept. update
I rooted with unrevoked3.2.1, but haven't flashed anything
(other than the Clockwork Mod as part of unrevoked, and, the ?re-flash? of Clockwork via ROM Manager)
The most noticeable example of this problem is Titanium Backup; I have to click Allow 14 times each time I open the App. And it is clearly listed in the Superuser List, with a green dot.
UPDATE: It is definitely possible to install this App directly from the Market, as I just re-did it. Then I Rebooted, but it all made no difference, still have 14 Allows in order to launch Titanium Backup
Results
Alright, I tried to "Clear Data", and then I did a reboot for good measure. It did NOT work.
The Superuser list was blank, but as soon as I started Titanium, I had to do the same 14 Allows. The Titanium>Log clearly shows each of them, but it's like the fact that the setting is "Remembered" doesn't have any effect.
I guess I can try the Nandroid back-up/wipe, but that just seems to be in the "format and reinstall Windows" family of solutions (no offense).
Other observation
Here's something else I noticed, may or may not be related.
I have Spare Parts installed, and I was testing the different settings.
First, Reboot/Recovery options ask for Superuser access, but then nothing happens, it just returns to the Spare Parts menu.
I'm interested in "upgrading" my boot animation (I have another thread about that), so I also tried the LeoFroyo Addon of Bootanimation>LeoFroYo BIOS
It Requested Superuser access, delayed while "Working...", and then asked to Reboot. When I clicked Yes, nothing. Just went back to the Spare Parts menu. When I rebooted manually, the stock HTC animation is still what I got.
Relaunching Spare Parts confirmed that the bootanimation setting was still on the upgrade, it apparently just didn't work.
The reason I mention these things is because I wonder if possibly I haven't achieved all the ROOT access that maybe I should have???
Any other thoughts? I'm not sure what else to try, but I can provide any other details that would be useful.
Maybe I'm just fighting a pointless losing battle on this, since I plan to flash to Cyanogen anyway. But it just find it irksome that I can't find a solution to a relatively straightforward issue.
It is because you cannot just install the superuser app from the market, because it needs root in the first place. This might just be your problem. I cant find the update.zip only including superuser right now, so if you want cm anyway, I would just go for it. Otherwise you will have to search for a zip file only including the superuser files or another rom with it included.
edit: and sorry for not replying but i have school as well
edit 2: This should be the zip file to flash to get superuser only hope you can get it to work.
Success
Yessir! That did it.
I think you're right. Don't know what I read to carelessly make me think I could just download Superuser from the Market. Actually, I'm not even too sure why its on there, since it CANNOT work if you install it that way.
I guess when I installed Superuser to grant ROOT permissions, I didn't have ROOT permissions. So, Superuser could grant other Apps ROOT (which did work), but it didn't have ROOT itself to store the Allow list. How ironic.
When I get to a computer, I'll add that linked zip as an attachment to this thread, along with some flashing Instructions in case anyone else is less familiar.
It must be pretty uncommon to do the work to get ROOT and then not flash a custom ROM with Superuser built in.
Thanks for your help. All glory to mortenmhp
okay, i was stupid. this fixed the problem for me too! thanks a lot.
Thank god for this thread
Had same problem
solved for me
And for now, i just want su, no custom rom, they seem to be sometimes unstable
Guide for dummies
just in case(copied),
Transfer this zip file file to your SD card. Remember where you saved it.
Reboot the phone into Recovery
(Boot the phone by holding down either the circle button or Volume Down button, then press the Power button. Select Recovery from the menu. (You can navigate the menus with the volume button, and make selections with the round button thingy).)
Select Install zip from SD card and navigate to where you copied the zip file and install. Watch out: Do NOT select the similar-looking apply sdcard:update.zip menu item. You have to confirm by selecting the correct ZIP file from a list.
reboot phone.
This woked for me too. Thanks a lot it was very annoying.
Oh and thanks for the dummies guide. I have not done anything but a nandbackup do it helped me feel a little more comfortable.
Great . It worked for me as well.
Thanks scott and all

Had this problem the other night, I fixed it by loading Xposed framework first in Adb, then installing with ADb command, after open Xposed framework and go to modules use the mouse to tick the ouya box. after this I ran the script to install google play and bam I was running. the batch file would time out on my network copy and the xposed framework so I bypassed it and it solved my issues.

I have had this issue also, did you see the license agreement for googIe Play when you first opened the play store? I never got the license pop-up so I went back into Exposed are re-ran the installer and then rebooted. Once the ouya came back up I went back into google play and the license agreement screen appeared. Once I accepted the license, google play store loaded without issue.

7.SuperSU Cost $FREE
8.BusyBox Cost $FREE
9.Developer Options (USB Debug)
____________________
Okay now assuming that everything has been required, we can begin.
Go into Settings>System>About Device & Enable Developer Options.(Keep tapping the "Build Number" category until it says Developer options have been enabled.
Connect your device with your usb that which comes with the phone on the computer. Open "Kingo ROOT" on your computer with admin rights, and once the program asks you to turn USB Debug on, go on your phone into Settings>System>Developer options and make sure it is enabled as well as usb debugging. Wait for kingo root to find your device and once found, it will ask you to either "Reroot,Root, or Remove Root, click "Reroot" then wait for it to start.(After it starts you should see on your phone the kingo root usb app pop-up and show the same thing you see on your computer)
After it is done it should confirm you have been rooted and will ask to donate.
Now you may exit out of the program on the computer and the phone and once out of the app and back on your phone, you will want to look in your app drawer for the kingo root "Superuser" and uninstall this. Then head on over to the playstore if haven't all ready and install "SuperSU" & "Busybox" if want to. Once have the SuperSU app open it and install the su binary updates with the "Normal" option not the recovery one since we don't have that.... & once done just press OK DO NOT REBOOT or you will bootloop and will have to use Odin to reflash your system of your phone to get it back working out of the box "state"
UPDATE Have a pc around and can still boot with root:
Yamaha169 said:
You can restart the device while rooted... but you have to have ADB to do so...
When you reboot ... you will get stuck at the ATT logo... at this point... plug your phone in to your pc...
Open up ADB (COMMAND WINDOW)
type in
ADB devices
until your device # appears in adb... (this can take a minute for your pc to find your phone) so don't panic
This means the phone is found...
From this point... type
ADB ROOT
ADB SHELL
YOU will now be inside the shell of the device with root permissions
Now type
setenforce 0
(MAKE SURE LOWERCASE just like seen. "setenforce 0" if do Setenforce 0 it won't be found.....)
This will set selinux to permissive ... allowing the phone to boot...
Someone with enough experience could probably create a selinux permissive stock kernel ... but I've contacted several developers with no response ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now open up the root checker app & click verify to see if you truly do have root.(You must grant root access so allow once it pops up.) Enjoy your root but never ever reboot.
UPDATE: How to Root If Possibly not allowing you to root!!!
Step one you will need to of downloaded "Android Studio
Step two you will now need to install all of the updates(Well that's what I did) inside the studio program.
Step three now locate 'program tools" which for me was located here: C:\Users\NameofComputer\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Step four make a cmd.exe file to go in the platform-tools simply just clicking on the "start button" on windows and searching "cmd" then dragging the cmd file to the folder.(Rename it to something like ADB Root or something different than just cmd)
Step FIVE download the su binary which can be located HERE and place it in the "platform-tools" folder.
Step SIX now almost there. Open the cmd file(ADB Root.exe) and once opened, plug the phone into the computer with the cable that came with your phone.
Step Seven:^.^ now with the phone plugged in and the program start, type this command to make sure your device is found:
Code:
adb devices
and if found you will see your attached devices and if more than one or can't see your device, you can do
Code:
adb kill-server
command and it will restart adb.
Step Eight: MAGIC time lol now that your phone is connected and you can see it is indeed listed, type these commands as followed:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb shell
chown 0:0 /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
You don't really have to do the other commands after pushing su it's just for pre-caution.
Step Nine: Now do the following at the top and try to use the Kingo root once more and click root or reroot.
If this doesn't work try to press unroot and restart phone then try this again.
Also like down below I talk about if you did reboot before you unrooted, you can still unroot but sometimes it's tricky and it needs you to do the adb remount before will work so just remember that...
--------------------

1.Your Phone Device SM-G92-0/5/8A
2.Root Access(Superuser rights)
3.SuperSU Cost $FREE
4.Root Checker Cost $FREE
____________________
This is very simple and easy to do, all you must do after every root and before every reboot is to go into "SuperSU" and go into the settings and scroll down until you see "Fully Unroot" and click that and once done verify with the root checker that you are indeed unrooted but still have adb shell and once done that you may freely reboot with no bootloop and then if want root once more just use "Kingo Root" on the computer to reroot once more.(I'm hoping someone will come out with an app that does the same thing and works so we don't need the computer anymore which would make it much easier..)
Edit/Update:
I found that if you maybe forgot to unroot before a reboot that you can still unroot without the need of going into odin and reflashing stock system just by connecting your phone to the computer via the usb that which comes with your phone and opening up Kingo Root and waiting for it to find your phone then click unroot and wait for it after you have unrooted and you will hear a sound which means it's fixed! So just force shutdown the device with pressing both: Volume Down+Home Button+Power then it will boot back up as normal!

Okay my fellow members that stayed on 5.1.1 with me, this tut did once work but then at&t blocked me and it stopped working but now rejoice becase there is a bypass once more!!!
NEW WAY:
I'm not sure which worked so I'm gonna just tell you everything that I did...
1.I first rooted obviously
2.I found a new TetheringProvision.apk which I have uploaded down in the attachment and at the top.
3.I used adb root for this but this can also be done with sqlite editior so I'll explain both ways, first way will be the easy way the adb root...>>>
Step 1: Ensure you have the correct OEM drivers installed for your handset on the computer
Step 2: Download and install the necessary ADB drivers (v1.4.2)
Step 3: Enable USB debugging on your Android handset:
Go to Settings > About Device, and tap the build number 7 times or until you see 'You're now a developer' message.
Return to Settings > Developer options and use the toggle button to turn on USB debugging. Then tap OK button to accept the warning and continue.
Step 4:Connect your device to PC with original USB cable.
Step 5: Launch a command window on your Windows PC.
Step 6: Access ADB shell and run the following command:
adb shell now just type " settings put global tether_dun_required 0 " and enter.
________----------Now the sqlite way
Step 1:Go into sqlite editor and allow root rights...
Step 2: Locate "Settings Storage" and click on "Settings.db then click on "global"
Step 3:Locate tether_dun_required 0 and if not there add by clicking on the +
then fill out name as " tether_dun_required " >>And value as " 0 " and then save file and unroot then reboot.
Now then after all of that I downloaded the build.prop which I know you don't have to but it makes it easier for me to do so and probably for you too...
Step 1:Get build.prop editor from the playstore and open it to grant root rights.
Step 2:Click on the pencil icon on the top right where the search icon is.
Step 3: Scroll all the way down to an open line.(If not one make one.)
and put this in the line....>>> " net.tethering.noprovisioning=true " and then click the save button at the top right and then save it and unroot then reboot.
Then replacing the Tetherprovision.apk . >>>
Step 1: Download the NEW modded TetherProvision.apk at top or at bottom.
Step 2: get a root explorer and go to System/App/TetheringProvision
Step 3: Rename the actual TetheringProvision.apk to TetheringProvision.apk.bak
Step 4: in the same location, go into "arm64" and rename the TetheringProvision.odex to TetheringProvision.odex.bak
Step 5: Now locate the modded TetheringProvision.apk you've just downloaded and place it in System/App/TetheringProvision/ now should be two TetheringProvision, the TetheringProvision.apk.bak and the modded one, TetheringProvision.apk.
Step 6: change the property promissions of the tetheringprovision.apk to give it root rights by changing the promissions to look just like the actual one which is " rw-r--r-- "
Step 7: save and unroot then reboot!
Now youre wifi tether and usb should work!!! enjoy!

2.Root Access(Superuser rights & .SuperSU Cost $FREE)
3.Fast Reboot
4.Soft Reboot
5.Viper4Android V2.3.4.0

8.IRS Impulse Response Sample files
9.Root Explorer Cost $3.99
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Read the tuts yourself than rather follow my tut, you may do so by following This Link & This Link
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright, I decided to do my own detail tut to make it much easier so follow me and you'll have viper4android in no time : )
So let's get begin, download if not already, the busybox,SuperSU,TitaniumBackup,Fast reboot,Soft Reboot, & Root explorer. Now having all that done open up Busybox and allow it root rights and you may wait for it to research for a smart intall, or just press install. Once you installed it in the default location System/xbin, click on the will be installed to location and choose System/bin and install it there too.(Not sure why but that's what the tut called for.)
Now let's download the folders for viper4android, go ahead and download Audio_Effect.Config.zip file,IRS Impulse Response Sample files, & the Viper4Android V2.3.4.0 folder.
Now open up the root explorer and unzip all that which is zipped up.(Which is all of the files;Audio_Effect.Config.zip file,IRS Impulse Response Sample files.zip, & the Viper4Android V2.3.4.0 folder.zip
)
Now once all are extracted, we will begin putting what is needed where.
Let's start off with the ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x (The actual name of the folder) you're gonna want to long press it and copy this folder. Once done, you're gonna want to paste this folder in System>Priv-app and make sure to change the permission of the .apk to 0644 rw-r--r-- & the FOLDER to 0755 rwxr-xr-x(The folder should have the same permissions as the other folders in that location.) which is inside the folder to give it root access which is 0644;rw-r--r-- and if not sure what root permission should look like, refer to this link Or Google what it looks like, then save/press ok.
Now go back to where you extracted your folders, and this time copy the "audio_effects.conf and go to System>etc and find and rename the actual audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak and then paste the copied modded audio_effects.conf here & DONT FORGET change the permissions to give it root rights.
Now after all is done, open the app "Titanium Backup Pro" and look for and freeze these following applications: 1.Adapt Sound 4.0 & SoundAlive 3.0 now open the app "Soft Reboot (Root) and click yes you want to do a soft reboot. Then once back up(If want you can click the "Fast reboot app" to quickly refresh the system) and running you should see the viper app inside your app drawer. Open it and install the update/software when ask you to and once done it should ask for you to reboot just click on ok and then go out and back to the "Soft Reboot (Root) then do another soft reboot.
Now almost DONE!!! Once back up and running again, go to your root explorer again where you extracted the folders and grab the folder of "ViPER4Android and move it to your device storage ex; Storage/emulated/0 (It's where the download folder is and dcim folder is.. Then finally, go toSettings>Device>Sounds and notifications>Sound quality and effects and toggle on all of the listings[NOTE YOU MUST PUT EARPHONES IN FOR THESE TOGGLES TO SHOW]; UHQ Upscaler|SoundAlive+|Tube Amp Pro now you're done enjoy viper4android via editing the settings in the app.
Edit
You need to download SELinux Mode Changer and give root rights and just click on permissive mode and all done. Also might need to use compatible mode in the Viper4Android settings.
I found that this mod works with Pandora and Youtube app but not with google music or the default music app and not sure how to fix that....
__________________________________0
This is some more quick finds which you don't need a tut for just information I'd like to share so you all know.
I found out that you can use Titanium Backup Pro Cost $5.99 and freeze anything you want such as bloatware and that annoying notification that appears every time you reboot if have systemless root installed "SecurityLogAgent" and as long as you UNROOT before you reboot, it is safe and everything you froze stays frozen.
Now I haven't tried uninstalling any system apps so I wouldn't advise doing that unless you wanted to but I don't see the point except to free space up since you can just freeze anything and does the same thing except for freeing space....
I haven't been able to unlock the bootloader in my research and errors which probably never gonna happen anytime soon....
I also never found an app that could root the device yet without a computer....
And yeah that's it! I just was so happy to find out all of this and just had to share it with xda members which are on the same boat as me that has been wanting some "freedom" which now can have a piece of it. : )
If found these tuts to be helpful, feel free to hit thanks button and if want donate.

Odin Flash Kernel for systemless root.
obtain root
Download SuperSU
After rooted download some sort of buildprop editor and search for " ro.securestorage.support=true" Now change =true to =false. and save!
Now go into the superSU app and fully unroot then reboot and also keep adb shell root!
So you fix the wifi bug plus keep the adb shell so you can obtain root once more! Now we just need some app that can give root access with 1 click without needing a pc and this would work for me until we can actually reboot with root without it bootlooping anyways.... I still can't find a wifi tether app or a method that works for the at&t hotspot app though...

Question for clarification.
So current method for rooting g928a is this systemless root.
Question 1, will it brick my phone with this root if i reboot, because i read somewhere on here that the phone will just keep on rebooting.
You mention using superSU app to unroot to reboot. So basically I have to unroot with superSU whenever I want to reboot then reflash again to get root?

Yes you must unroot to remove the su binary so the system acts like nothing has happen. I use kingo root for windows and it works every time with root all you need to do is hit "root" or it may say "reroot" and works every time. I have been playing with this a lot trying to do things to get it to reboot with root but have failed so far.... I wish someone with more experience would approach this so we could have an app to use at least so we not have to use pc every time to reroot until we get the ability to keep root and reboot.
Kingo root can be found here : https://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm
and this works after flashing the kernel from odin. This was the only way I actually found to be able to get root was with this because manually pushing su just didn't work for me....
Thanks for being much clearer on the instructions and idoit proof. I was worried about the bootloop and I thought there was no exit strategy on this expensive phone until you mention reflash. With your extensive tinkering on this, did your knox security trip up?
If this is the only possible way, maybe the community could make some sort of app that if we have to shutdown or reboot the phone specifically for g928a, it will safely unroot it for us.
TASKER?!
Anyone know if this still works after taking the latest OTA a few days ago?
The problem is this isn't root. I restart my phone several times a day. There is no point especially if I can't get a custom OS. However, thanks for making the instructions clear. And for anyone who doesn't understand systemless root, it's temp root. When you reboot dmverity sees the false file structure and tries to rewrite and reverse the changes, effectively removing root. On the Note 5 AT&T for temp root you didn't have to unroot before reboot as it wouldn't boot loop, it would just remove root and let you continue on. So something in this version must be getting farther in breaking past dmverity if it's causing the OS to bootloop.

I was wondering if maybe we could place SU somewhere else so we might could trick it to reboot with root but haven't done it yet and or maybe keep SU on the sdcard/storage and use the terminal on the phone to push su to xbin every reboot but just hoping maybe can get root working without making the stupid thing bootloop.... Like I said I been doing a lot of dumb stuff with my phone because I have been so disappointed in this phone with not having wifi tether at the most really but now that got that I'm much happier but I'm still on the research of keeping root and being able to reboot.
I won't be updating until something maybe for sure comes along with 6.0 I can wait because my galaxy s4 I had stayed on stock version forever because was able to do everything so was no need to update really.... Anyways yeah lol maybe someone greater or maybe my playing around will work. WE can only hope...
Oh yeah, to the other guy NO it did not trip knox doing any of the things I've done. which I wouldn't care if could unlock the bootloader lol...
Edit:
I've done all I can think of and didn't work to keep root on a reboot except it did keep root without bootloop with a soft reboot...
I found out to maybe later will add tut up top but for now I'd like to tell you or whoever, if you do bootloop due to not being able to access the su unroot in time, you can still connect your device with Kingo Root in that bootloop and can unroot to save you from having to reflash every time... Might have to reboot as soon as you hear the found from the unroot though.
Oh and on a factory reset everything sticks excepts what was frozen becomes unfrozen just fyi...
Yeah, that's all I can find so I'm done with it hope someone can help later on but I'm just happy with wifi tether so much : )
So what all can we do with this root
Thank you for your hard work. it's very much appreciated!!!
Will pay part of my bounty which is 50 dollars pay day!!
But, please reply. what all can we do with this root!?

Hi, I didn't come up with anything but the fix for wifi bug and hotspot app.
I just made a very detail tut to help others, but thanks.
I would wait on the bounty to be paid to someone who can make it possible to keep root on and still be able to reboot.
So in theory with this method I can root, install a modified tetheringprovisions, unroot (as hotspot is the only feature I actually desire), and go about my business without worrying about bootlooping or knox being tripped? Feels too good to be true, but I want to believe.
Just a reminder that Android 6.0.1 is right around the corner. If you don't fully go back to stock before the upgrade it will not flash and could possibly wipe the data partition. Both the system and boot images need to be 100% stock.

It's true, that's how my phone is rolling with frozen apps and the modded hotspot without root, but still the systemless root remains in the system but doesn't do anything with out a computer or applying the kingo root to true root it.
I haven't tested the adaway yet so idk if will work or not.... and I been wanting xpose to work to disable youtube ads but haven't tried that either. . I might root tonight and try out adway tho.
But yeah to your question you are 100% safe and will not change anything or trip anything; phone can reboot all it wants with no bootloops with the modded tether is what I'm trying to say lol .. .
Edit:
Yeah adaway works after unroot and reboot. . . But I decided not to use it because a lot of people us adfly and it wouldn't let me access the link so yeah.....
On another note I froze a lot of stuff and done a lot of things not sure which part caused it but it doesn't bother me because I don't use samsung pay but in the end I had to freeze samsung framework for samsung pay because it kept saying force closed but which again Idc about that app so no biggy to me : )
Was Samsung Pay crashing before you started freezing apps? I have yet to use Pay but I'd prefer to keep my options open if possible.

Honestly, I'm not sure but it had to be either the freezing at&t update or securityagent because it seemed to happen after that... Or could be the hotspot mod but I didn't get any crashes until i froze those 2 apps so idk...
Package Disabler in play store freezes apps so what's the point?
Can you fully remove with TiBu and be safe unrooted?

Yeah and from what I've seen of the nightmares people have been having with their Note 5's on Marshmallow, I'm staying FAR away from it!
I can confirm this works. Sorta a pain to have to reroot but hey, It's progress. We may never have a custom ROM option or recovery, But this is the next big thing. If we can find a app that'll just reroot us. it's perfect. (somewhat) Just rooted a few minutes ago. Going to play around. More than likely I'll re flash stock and make a youtube video for anyone needing questions or wanting to see it be done.
And I lied.. So, My experience was weird. Lagging constantly and weird download issues with a fresh wipe.
I'm sadly gonna have to unroot and hope that a better method would come out.

I'm not sure why you would experience "lag" because I have no lag what so ever. Maybe try going to settings>system>developer options and change both transition animation scale and window animation scale to 0.5x
I've reflashed stock many of times due to to trying to find everything there is to find and I've had no "lag" but also you could download the soft reboot and fast reboot from market. Fast reboot frees up memory via closing and restarting certain apps, and soft reboot kills zygote and does a "hot reboot" without going through whole start up process .
Please reply I'm gonna try and help you : )

I can confirm freezing anything won't harm the system on a reboot after unrooting but not sure about removing the apps would be safe. I have however remove the youtube app and reinstalled it in play store and it didn't harm anything.

Thanks for helping me! I went ahead and flashed stock and followed your steps!
Working great now!
NOW, My next question... What difference would it make if I used package disabler pro VS TBU?
Wouldn't both of these apps freeze the processes? Or would it make a difference with root and SU access?

I'm not sure because I've never heard of that program, but I did buy it just now for about $1.89 and the activation keeps failing so I can't test it to see the difference but with titanium you can do everything not just freeze stuff but back up apps and their data and much more.
Titanium backup has been around for ages which is why I recommend it.

I use package Disabler. Works like TiBu without root. Only reason to root would be to fully remove apps but would it boot okay after?
