I tried turning superuser off but it didn't seem to work. i tried root keeper and that didn't work. i just want to update to the newest software update my phone keeps saying is available but when i try it, it goes into cwm and says the update is aborted. obviously because my phone is still rooted. i want the update without have to wipe date. any help? thanks. and be kinda specific, i was able to root my phone a few months ago but im not tech savvy on every little thing. thanks!
Your update is failing because you have a custom recovery not because you are rooted.
Please go to settings > about phone > baseband version and post what the last three numbers/letters are...
Depending on what version you are currently on there may be a flashable zip available for download, or it may be easier to just flash a complete ROM.
Please search, this question regarding how to take the update properly (no need to unroot) has been answered many times by both myself and others
Also, questions go in the "Q&A" forum
Yeah, all you have to do is look through either cnexus' or my own posts and you'll find the answer you're looking for. Look for threads in the q&a forum with the title similar to "OTA update?" There's at least three of them on there from the last week alone.

That won't work for what this person wants to do (run the OTA). The best way to do this is by checking out CNexus' sticky thread on what to do with an OTA. His thread is very informative and has good instructions on how to update or, at the very least, turn off the OTA notifications.
Hi There.
I am not sure if this has been posted in the right place, Care to move if needed
I tried rooting my S4 mini 19195. And I am having issues with it. firstly I get
1.Device detected an application attempting unpermitted acces. This has something to do with SEAndroid and I don't know how to get rid of it.
2. There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSu cannot install it' Help!?
3 If I go into About device / status and scroll down to device status, it says my phone is "Custom" and I cannot do a software update.
Would I need to do this "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980" to correct these issues
Thanks

Well, this isn't the S4 Mini forum so you should try to post there to get better help.
Did you by any chance try using a regular Galaxy S4 root method? If so, that's probably why you're having problems.
Also, the link you gave goes to the forum where you need to be. And yes, that link you gave is the right one to root your device. Just follow instructions and you'll be good to go.
Don't worry about the Custom info in About Phone as that is what happens when you root the device.
There are well-explained threads in the S4 Mini forums to guide you through the rooting process.

Hi Clair
Im with EE I have rooted my s4 mini wth this method all works fine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
to sort out nr 1
To get rid of the the warnings about applications doing not permitted actions, delete the following files from system/app
KNOXAgent.apk
KNOXStore.apk
ContainerAgent.apk
Not sure about nr 2 i had same message but my superuser managed to install binary.
okay so I followed this link true-android.blogspot. com/2014/03/root-t999uvuenc2-t-mobile-galaxy-s3. html to root my s3. I did not get the yellow bar that I was supposed to but I decided to follow through anyway. At the end of it I received the PASS message. I had superuser installed. The problem is that it seems like knox is keeping superuser from granting anything root privileges. Every time I launch superSU, it leaves me with a message of "unfortunately SuperU has stopped. On my notification bar it shows security information and the message "an application attempted to acces system on your device without authorization. This attempt has been blocked...." i also can't seem to log into it to uninstall it because it gives me an error. root checker tells me I don't have proper root access but I am assuming it's because superuser is being blocked. I am unable to uninstall superuser and my flash counter went up to one so I am "assuming" that I am rooted. Does anyone know how to disable knox? or if it is not knox and it turns out that my device is not really rooted, do you guys know how I can root it? this is all really confusing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
First thing, you will have much better luck just sticking to the forums here. Not many are willing to assist with other sites posted processes because for the most part, everything you could possibly need is right here.
Before you do much else, look over the sticky threads in each of our sections. You will find lots of very important info and ill bet a better way to accomplish what you want to do.
Check my firmware thread for root66 firmware. Flash it and your rooted and knox free. Click on the root66 heading to go to the thread.
By reading the sticky threads you will also find alternative methods. The only one I warn against is something called the toolkit.
If you have specific questions about anything feel free to ask.

What I did to root my s3 was I used odin. Put http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370981device on download mode. Download a recovery tar click on pda and flash it. After device reboot put su zip on sd card and flash on recovery and you will be rooted. You can you root explorer apk to delete knox from /system/app.
I'll post the files you need.
You can find everything on that website if different s3
Where it says xdadevelopers recognized contributor: click to show content...you will find all recoveries, odin, drivers, su

Only Verizon and AT&T models have locked bootloaders. If you don't have one of these you should be fine.
Why root wifi only device?
I have rooted a couple of devices. I get it's purpose of unlocking hotspot, modifying cpu clock, adblocking, etc. I have the Tab S 10.5 and I am trying to find the benefit to rooting this device. Looks simple enough. But What will I gain? I think I have already answered my question though, maybe. I am rooting my note 3 so I can use that for a hotspot for this. But it seems the only real benefit is adblocking? Am I missing something. It has been a while since I have done this so maybe I have...
Anyways, thanks for the input.

The way to look at is that rooting gives YOU control over your device not the manufacturer. Think of it as like administration rights on a PC.
Would you like it if pc manufacturers told you what you could and couldn't install on your pc?
Rooting allows you to install custom recoveries so you can back up your device, fix problems, try new custom or stock software, install root only apps such as titanium backup. You can modify system files and add back functionality that the manufacturer has decided to remove or disable. Add new functionality, maybe something that is found on another device. Speed up your device by overclocking to make it run smoother.
Change how things look and install apps such as xposed which reveals a ton of hidden features allowing you to customize your device to your liking.
Once you realise what root can do you'll never want a another device that isn't.
Confused
Hi, I have downloaded the file for the T800. However, when I unzip it there are only two files :cache.img & recovery.img. Am I missing something? Please excuse my ignorance, newbie!!

Yep you certainly are a nooby as you made the rookie mistake of not actually reading the first post.
Go back to the original thread and read the bit under the smiley face.

Sorry, I read that bit,downloaded odin as well, however, I recall reading something somewhere about needing a .tar file? Maybe some full instructions would be nice for us new to rooting a device. Thanks for the reply

The tar file is the file you have downloaded.
Just leave it as it is and flash with Odin.
I shouldn't have to provide step by step instructions, this is what XDA search and Google is for. This info is everywhere.
Basically:
Install Samsung usb drivers.
Disable Samsung kies if installed.
Boot your device into download mode - Hold POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME.
Run ODIN , connect USB cable, look for 'added' message.
Load the tar file into the AP slot, click START.
Wait for flash to complete, device will reboot and root.
Enjoy your rooted device with custom recovery.

I tried on my t800 running latest BRI firmware and worked fine. Thanks a lot.
Cannot complete root on T-800 (Lollipop 5.0.2)
I've tried rooting twice on my T-800 running 5.0.2. In both cases ODIN says passed. However, I do not see either supersu or TWRP. When I ran root validator I got the following:
Root Unavailable
su/id/echo did not execute
I had installed the supersu app manually, but even that says the binaries are not installed.
However, Knox says it has been tripped. (using Knox Status app). So looks like I have the worst of both worlds here (well, other than bricking). Is there anything I can do different? Thanks,

Works now!
Thank you for the reply. I had read that, but did not understand how it applied to me, root works now.
For anyone else in my shoes, here's what I did:
1) unchecked auto reboot
2) Once I got the Pass! message in Odin rebooted using Power+VDOWN+HOME
3) Kept pressing Power+VUP+HOME till it rebooted, at which point it says installing TWRP
4) Kept pressing Power+VUP+Home till it restarted again, and this time it goes to TWRP
5) In TWRP, I said reboot to recovery, it then asked to install SuperSU and root.

Did you see the red android after rebooting?
Supersu should have already been installed before booting into twrp.

I have an apology to make. Your troubles seemed to have been due to the SuperSu script not running because it had become corrupt. I realised something was wrong when you said you had to install SuperSu with TWRP.
All fixed now.

No clue... any help?
Sorry for the questions....
I have SM-T805 with 4.4.2 and build KOT49H.T805XXU1ANH1...
1 - Can i root without tripping knox? (i've done it on GS3 and GS4, no issues on knox, counter remains 0x0);
2 - The cf.auto root files are locked at specific builds? Or can i use the sm-t805 on chainfire page?;
3 - Can i update to lollipop or any other official firmware? And without tripping knox?
Thanks, in advance.

I'm setting up a SPH-D710 for someone else and started looking around for information to root & install a custom recovery for this phone. On this phone I have the latest kies update for Android 4.1.2, OI23. I don't see any reference to this latest OI23 anywhere and I want to know the best method for rooting this device based on the current baseband version OI23. I would like to use TRWP as the custom recovery, but I'm not certain this is the best choice for this phone.
1. What is the best rooting method for the SPH-D710 4.1.2 OI23?
2. What is the best choice for the custom recovery for this device and Android version (4.1.2 OI23)?
I rooted just fine with Cydia Impactor... As far as the custom recovery.... I'm on stock and haven't tried any others with OI23 yet...
Any clue how to get rid of the SuperSU "su binary needs to be updated" notification after rooting OI23 with Cydia Impactor?

Had to use the "Full unroot - Cleanup for permanent unroot" option from the SuperSU left behind by Cydia first to remove the "bad" su binary, then the "Aragorn" option in Framaroot 1.9.3 did the job! I now appear to have a rooted OI23 without a weird warning message!
Thank you!

Where did you get the Framaroot file? I followed the thread and downloaded the file which turns out to be nothing but a 0 mb file. I've tried a google search and found fake sites that just lead me to advertising sites.

Google is your friend.
Kate6, You must not have completely read my post. I did use google and have been to that site also any many others that came up. Don't believe the first thing you find. Google may be your friend but what you may find there may not be. In today's internet you have to be careful. That is a site that has you complete advertising offers that never let you download or ask for lots of personal info you should never give out. I know this is an old thread and have moved on and found other ways around this problem. Thanks anyways.
Terribly sorry. My Epic 4G Touch has actually recently finally died... Won't power up at all anymore. So at this point I'm at a bit of a disadvantage to be helpful here. Best of luck though!
