So I have been rooted for a couple months now with no problems at all, I do have the t-mobile note 2 which is model # SGH-T889. And I opened up Superuser and there is an unroot button which was not check but soon became checked I was unaware at the time you can even unroot a phone via a program. Is there a way to reverse this problem, all of my rooted apps no longer allow me to open them up, But for say wallpappers and some other apps I was able to keep them
www(dot)/gyazo(dotcom)/74c27571285f3d19f866b09be020013a
That is what my Titanium backup says above.
I also tried installed the newere SuperSU or whatever that didn't work either.
And even still "Software update" "Your device has been modified.Software updates are not available" Hit OK, I only just found out today there is a program called "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper" Only had I known about this program yesterday none of this would have happened, in the "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper"there should be check marks allow me to uncheck/recheck and there is no huge button for backup/unroot/root. that tells me I'm not rooted I guess.
A buddy of mine actually helped me root via teamviewer And I do not have the proper kit/know how to do it for my model #. If someone can help me in another way besides just rerooting the original way that would help. But if not if you have a known good rootkit for my situation.
I am sorry if this is not in the right section under my phone. I wanted to put it in the dev area but read that they will delete it if you put it there, even though It would seem that is the proper area since this is a rooting situation.
If you guys need any more information about my issue please ask
Get odin and flash the rooted version of your phone let's say the mb4 or idk which one is exactly. But that should work with odin. If im wrong someone correct me....

? if that is what you mean, I have no idea what any of this is, or where to begin I'm seeing the model # of my phone with SDFVCJ at the end of it. I don't want to brick my phone I just want to figure out how to get my root back how it was a couple days ago.
Is there a method to doing so? I do remember via teamviewer he used a rootkit of some kind would that work even in my current case? I still have superuser on my phone along with kies.

Are you sure it is rom I need to DL, Don't I need to be rooted first to get the rom on there? My problem is my phone is half rooted, titanium backup says clear busybox and one other app, but every single other app says I need to be rooted, Along with that being weird when I try to do a software update. It tells me that I have a modded device so I cannot do it. In the mean while before I reroot again I would like to get the most recent update.

Hey guys
I recently rooted my Galaxy Note II but now that the multi-screen update is out I want to unroot it to be able to update my mobile phone. How can I do so without re-flashing my device? I also looked for the newer build that contains the multi-screen functionality but I couldn't find the one for my region (UAE). So please if anybody finds it please post the link because I think it would be so much easier and faster...
I am afraid I was on the same position like yours and I did unroot, just go to SU and select the option to Unroot and SU will be uninstalled and your device will be unrooted for sure but some trace will still be there and device status will stay as 'Custom'. Even if you use the Play Store version of Trinagle Away and reset the counters! To make it official either you have to perform a Full wipe, if that don't do it, then you have to re-flash the whole ROM.
Unless and until your device status and binary both are Official you WON'T be receiving any update via OTA or Kies.

Hi there
If you are rooted you can still get Over The Air updates so dont worry
You can find all stock ROMs here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
And there is no need to Unroot to flash a newer version of stock ROM. Unroot or keep rooted, flashing a rom will have the same effect, and updare over the air will have sane effect :good:
Hit thanks if i helped
I can absolutely confirm no need to unroot - I rooted mine immediately I received it last week, after a couple of days it automatically updated ota to multiscreen.

And its also wrong that you will not get OTA update. Lol we even get OTA updates on totally customized Custom Roms but they cant be updated because of change kernel (and changes in rom ofc).

No need to bash me friend. I am not questioning anybody, I just asked 'why'? I don't think it's unfair. And I am not the ONLY person. I have see other persons have the exact same problem like me.
And another thing, do you really think this RC/RD/Thanks meter stuffs mean that much? I am not questioning Dr.Ketan's credibility by ANY MEANS but you know what I mean!
One thing, what I've said is applied to them who have rooted with either Chainfire's Stcok recovery or Chenglu's Advanced recovery, can't say about any other thing.

Hi guys,
I have just unrooted my device Galaxy Note 2. I also use the triangle away to reset the counter and now the counter is now "NO". the system status is official. But when I connect the device with Kies and it says "your firmware is not supported to update via Kies", anybody experience that problem? I'm using the latest stock room.
When i check the update on my device, it stated the lastest update has been installed my device
Please help

My friends has a gs3 he purchased on release day and rooted it. The past week he accepted two ota's which broke his root. So I'm trying to root it for him but here's where the confusion kicks in. On sprints website it actually show these updates are old and not new and there's two more recent ones he never got pushed to him. Right now the phone is on LG2 and won't update any further. What do I need to do to be up to date with root. Should I just look for a way to root this build or try updating it. By the way I haven't seen any root methods for this build which is why I'm asking. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds :beer:

The method he used to root it in the first place should work again. Try that.
Then once it's rooted again go to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
Download the file "LI3 STOCK WITH AUTO COUNTER RESET" in the first post and flash the file in recovery. That will put the phone to 100%stock, unrooted, on the latest build.
From that point, if he wants to, he can reroot the phone and install the latest TWRP recovery. After that, tell him not to accept any OTA updates. Come back here to the development forum and someone will have the update in flashable form so that root isn't lost.

Yup thats the most easy way of doing it. you say ur not rooted but do you have custom recovery? If so then re rooting before the flash wouldn't be necessary.
It will not wipe data however its recommended that you do. granted it will probably work just fine if it being installed over top of a stock Rom. Then to keep root/recovery just follow the instructions in the post

I'm not sure if he has a custom recovery but I'm assuming if he was able to accept ota's and install them fine he must have stock recovery. I'll have to check and see a lil later as he's at work now.

Yes it is stupid proof but it also makes you have to take an extra step to reset the count.

ota not working
So I just have twrp installed so i could use wifi tether. I just got the OTA last night for the security update. I knew it would fail after the reboot. I went into TWRP selected install, from /cache were the ota was sitting. It appeared to be working but failed at the end.
error message: assert failed getprop ro.secure =1
Is there anyway around this?
So as of right now there is now way to root with the latest OTA installed correct? I just got my Note II yesterday and the OTA came through this morning and I, without thought, accepted and installed it. Is there a way to root or need I wait until a method releases with the latest OTA?

No way around that. Easy way to explain, need to reset your binary counter using triangle away. Must be run as many times as you need to get it down to 1, then you must unroot using su preferably so it can cleanly do it. Then you must install the stock recovery then you can update. Hope that helps. I just did all this today, hence that's why I'm posting this late. Took me a while to figure out why it kept failing. Triangle away is a must if you want to do it without installing a rooted rom with update built in.

How do I reboot or get a 4.3 version knox free or bypass knox moderator edit superuser lol.. friend borrowed phone uprooted and updated to 4.3 ota.
Now knox kicks super user and force closes .
I read there's a way I think to re root I think maybe by Mr Robison root 66.
All I wanna so is either be on a 4.1.2 rooted Rom or 4.3 that doesn't affect superuser What's the method ?

Well KNOX is on your phone now and there is no way (yet) to get rid of it. Try updating su in the play store. The new version can get around it.

Buy root Explorer from the market then go to System then apps look for knox and remove it I think there are like 3 knox files then reboot and then your knox free

Good thought but I don't think it's that simple.. It's well noted that there isn't a way to safely bypass or remove it yet If your method Was the case it would be all over the forum and probably one of the first things tried the day 4.3 ota was pushed .
Its built in the bootloader . I'm not sure what damage would cause if i try removing with a root explorer app.

Good morning,
I am no WIZ but it seems to me that all you would need to do is revert (flash) your NOTE 2 back to a stock, Predated to 4.1.1 OEM T-Mobile Rom.
However, since XDA is a creative lot, there is really no reason for me to presume that you still use T-Mobile as your carrier; not that it makes much difference at this point, So rather than being the horses ass as I sit here making my first post and since I am too new to be allowed to make life easy on you by merely laying down the link, go to Galaxynote2toroot under the heading of stock firmware. I think you will find your answers there. The site lists most all of the original or at least those firmwares you might use including those after 4.1 and prior to v 4.30. They have flashing tools as well...probably light-fingered from here (smiling) but in any case it seemed to be a simple method to get you where you want to go.
Sidebar: Personally, I am going to contribute to the cause supporting the old turned new GalaxyNOTE2 Toolkit v4.1.0. conjured up by mskip http://forum.xda-developers.com.php?=1957720 because I think it is and will continue to be a pretty swish tool to prevent me making the typical, wreck your Note2 rookie mistakes. And I secretly plan over time to make him a friend so he'll help me when I falter. It is a wonderment to me how complicated but pro tool accepting the little bastards be.
So, depending on your expertise in these matters, you might take a look as well, In any case I hope you get it fixed.
Best regards,
dm
I cannot get my sprint S4 Mini to root using kingo app. KNOX pops up and says unauthorized access or something like that. My first phone I had from sprint would root using kingo app. But I had to get a replacement and it came with the "WiFi Calling" update or whatever. How can I get it to root now?

Android Version: 4.2.2

You're in the wrong forum sport.
This is for the Sprint Galaxy S4

There is no spot for the Sprint S4 mini. So this is the second best spot
You could contact chainfire or check his thread to see of it works.

Yes there is and I moved it here.
Anyone know how to help? I've tried contacting chainfire but he/she did not answer me
If the device in question is indeed the mini.. Your Op has the wrong model number for the sprint version. Starts with L- not I and I think that's what was thrown off. However, don't use Kingo these days you must search. It's in here I'll check.
Edit:
No help yet, sorry I don't know.

If chainfire won't help, then there is no help. I've been asking around to no avail. My Mini is getting returned. Done with Samsung.

The only fix is for someone to create a way to root via odin that bypasses knox, and since nobody cares about this phone, that's not happening any time soon. It's already been EOL'd so it's not going to gain any traction. I just returned mine. Not worth having at this point.
Root Works
I got mine rooted today after coming back to stock from custom ROM. I have my KNOX Tripped which i dont care about and if you dont care about tripping it either ill let ya know how i did it. LMK
Do tell. I just ordered a return kit to send mine back. If I know I can root it after each update, I might keep it.

You have to flash a custom Recovery via Odin. This will Trip KNOX to 0X1! Here is a link to the file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3d1q1dzelglf093/recovery.tar.md5
Once you have flashed the recovery reboot into Recovery and install from ZIP. the zip file you need to flash is. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xpoc279um1b6uf9/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94%5B1%5D.zip
Once that is complete reboot and go to SuperSU App and Bam you are rooted.

The recovery was used from S0be's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2669991. I used his recovery-serranoltespr_cwm_based_6.0.4.7.img link and converted to MD5.
I just got a used one in the mail today that was already on NA7 and factory reset it just to be safe. So we can now root even on NA7?
Any chance of bricking it using the custom recovery?
Possible but not probable. The only issue we have now I believe is no NA7 tar to fall back on.
