Is there a way to temp root the phone?

I got the Galaxy 3 from the company. Just want to delete the bloated apps. No intend to install custom rom.
I need to run an company app on the phone. If the phone is rooted, the app will not run.
Thanks.

There is no other option.

Why don't you just disable them under settings > apps..

Thanks. That works. Just disabled Media hub, Bonus app etc.
If I reboot the phone, do they run again?

Can you tell me how to root and unroot without triggering the counting warning? Thanks.

Just look on the stickies
Root no trip the flash counter method
However, you could root any of the ways and use the app triangle away to reset the flash counter

I do recall reading something about doing the opposite, temporarily unrooting in order for the OTA to install properly then enabling root again, but I can't for the life of me remember where or how it was done. It was just a tap of a button is all I can remember. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Inside the root programs SuperSU or Super User, there are options to select "Temp Unroot"

No they will not restart upon a reboot. This is your best bet imo OP. As well as the easiest.

Actually I was trying to remember OTA Rootkeeper, but it's nice to know of this method too. Once you install OTA Rootkeeper it allows you to temporarily unroot.

Clear and safe temporary rooting?
I have no need for custom ROMs etc, just want to make complete backup, perhaps remove some apps and for curiosity try to run some game data analyzers. Can I do this with temporary rooting and is there some clear and safe howto for the S3 (currently seems to have JB 4.1.2) ?
What I want is to temp-root the phone, do some magic and then after restart use the original rom without root.
(Little OT, but if I do a permanent root and then unroot the phone, will I lose some data? They talk about "wipeout" and it sounds like a permanent lose of data.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ari

There is no such thing as "temporary root". You either have it, or you don't. You have the option (through root access) to remove root when you are finished with it.
You will not lose any data. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
I didn't answer the how to question because the answers are in the stickies.

[HOWTO] Root Android 4.3 on samsung galaxy nexus

This rooting technique Finally worked you will need three files
1) SDK TOOLS from
2) recovery.img from
3)MRKREHANROOT from
you should have unlock boot loaders USB drivers installed and should be on android 4.3
copy mrkrehanrehanroot3.1.zip in sdcard
be in fastboot mode ie switch off your device and hold both volume up and down and power button together and keep your device connected to PC
Extract the sdktools and place the revovery.img in that folder
then with one finger on shift key right click in an empty space in the folder and select open command window here
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will flash recovery to your device
in recovery no need wipe anything install the zip mrkrehanroot3.1.zip
and reboot
download any app that requires root access and check for example root explorer
it should ask root acess
in this way you have rooted your device
Keep the thanks rolling and follow me on

I use that method, cannot restore any app with TB or install Busybox, for some reason it's root but not completely.

This thread shouldn't be in dev section, and there were bunch of root method threads/posts that could be easily found.

Read description:
Titanium Backup is an example of such an app. It may incorrectly detect the path to your internal storage for backups, and thus crash on backup/restore. You can fix this by going into preferences and selecting a folder under /storage/emulated/legacy as backup/restore path, not under /storage/emulated/0.

dude relaxy, if you get worked up everytime someone says that there is another way of doing what you are saying you wont get very far cuz honestly there are always multiple ways to stuff... however i do agree with you chainfire clearly said on g+ that the root method is specifically for the s4 leak.. anyway its upto the users they can either use your method or chainfires.. i will try your method once i flash 4.3 :good:

Odin.

I just did mine yesterday. I recommend you use the TWRP version for now because I had a lot of problems with the CWM file). In a nutshell:
1. download/install Odin on a windows PC (google for details)
2. read all the details in the CWM thread in the 8.0 development section but...
3. download the ODIN file in the TWRP thread in the 8.0 development section (use this file instead of the CWM-ODIN file, otherwise follow the CWM instructions)
4. if everything works correctly, your tablet reboots at the end with an "updating" prompt. When it is back up you can launch the SuperSU app to confirm it worked.

Root on T310
I used odin 3.07 on my T310 and it worked for me.
BUT I had to use the Root-SGT3-80.zip file after twrp2.60.
Have used terminal to check su. and it works.
Problems I still have are\
1. No UMS (USB Mass Storage).
2. No ADB support with win XP, Tried 1.5.18.0 Drivers. But Samsung ADB driver doesn't load

How to root with stupid knox

Use this Google Kingo Root app
1. Let it install driver
2. Let SuperSu keep trying to get access and phone will keep rebooting because of knox
3. Eventually the program is going to try to root thru Odin
4. Download Root Explorer or another file browser who need root access
5. Now go in root and delete
system/app = knox apps
system/container = knox apps
etc/secure-storage = knox folder
libs/ = libKnox
6. When done install SuperSu from the market.
7. Let it update SU.
8. Done!!!!!!!!!!!!! enjoy root, bye bye KNOX

is there going to be the update already rooted??
thanks in advance

well I have no reason to lie about it.
here's exactly what I did.

had to download Dev settings to enable uab debugging cause I couldn't find it on 4.3
enabled USB debugging
installed drivers
restarted once. saw the konx error thing telling me it stopped an unauthorized whatever.
the root permission window came up and I clicked allow and phone retstarted again and I was rooted.

Well your phone ask you if you want to enable usb debugging when trynna use the program. And yea everyone's rooted with knox on there. But knox isn't gonna let you do anything unless you remove it or freeze. It but I'm sure when you find that out nobody's gonna know cause your gonna maintain the fact that your knox is different from ours!!!! But I'm gonna still keep it the same. People need to remove knox period!!!! To avoid the some apps work and some don't conversation

I'll remove all the knox files just in case and thank you for the information. I noticed that Knox isn't enabled in my device manager. I mean it doesn't let me disable or enable it but there's no check mark next to it. I'm assuming that it's on no matter what but just throwing it out there. Thanks again

Worked great thanks bro . Rooted and even installed twrp via odin with no problems.....4.3 rooted custom recovery woo hooo.....screw knox

we are group of people use L900 in china, one of dude update 4.3 today but cant connect with odin.
we try to use your software to del knox, but its too complexity
just download root master, u can seach"root大师“ by any search engine, can be link to .
u can get rooted your phone 4.3 with in min. after u taking control ,
just following step 4-5
4. Download Root Explorer or another file browser who need root access
5. Now go in root and delete
system/app = knox apps
system/container = knox apps
etc/secure-storage = knox folder
libs/ = libKnox
its much more easy and faster.
