I'm trying to set my phone back to stock for an ATT warranty exchange. I had previously rooted with Casual. I used a unrooting app, then used a couple apps to verify I didn't have root. Most apps didn't find root, but one found busybox. I looked for it, and low and behold it's there in system/bin, and protected of course, so I can't delete it. How do I delete it? TIA!
Busybox app on the playstore allows u to install and unistall...

Thanks, I had tried that, but because I'm partly unrooted, I can't even get past the busybox alert screen telling me I'm (obviously) not properly rooted.
Here's the screenshot:

Here's the screenshot of what the root analyzer app shows (and the files are actually there using ES file explorer.

Can't you just flash a stock rom?

How do I do that? I am decent with technology, but have to have clear directions.
Thanks so much! You are all awesome.
Check to see what your phone says about the flash counter, in download mode. Also check if it says it's modified . I have done a warranty exchange a few times with no problems. I always went on download mode, I don't think they are going to use that specific app at the warranty place. After going threw the warranty so many times for black blobs. I'm almost curious if they just check to see if it boots stock with no issues. And gets thrown in a bin that says '' fixed''. Because I've gotten the same phone twice lol.
Anyway, Goodluck, and don't worry about it so much. It will be fine
Thanks for the help! I got it sent back and it was showing not modified when I got it back to stock.

Certain apps are missing from my phone I first noticed this with Lookout the app is present because I get notifications but it is no where to be found in my app list. Also did they do away with the basic calculator from the aps list in the N900T? I know there are plenty of other calculators but just odd that this is missing also? Not sure yet what else is gone.
Did you look in the Samsung folder in the app list?

Ok there is a few things in there but still many apps missing. Like Lookout and several tmobile apps as well as many others factory installed apps after a factory rest I only have 24 aps showing on a single app page but I can find the apps in other places and like I said even though Lookout isn't showing up in the app list/grid it is still running.
btw the calculator was in the sam folder.
I know its something Ive done just hoping there is a way to reverse it. I was rooted via the Root_de_Vega method and all went well I had started to try and flash JediElite rom with twrp but never could get it to take and after reading a bit more decided that ID keep my KNOX 0X0 and just used some Xposed and some themes but somewhere along the line I did something to cause the loose of viewable apps on the grid/list.
Im not sure when it happened during which process I was trying. I thought I was sailng along ... rooted...customs themes and then bam.
I flashed back to stock through ODIN and they still did not reappear..So I have since rerooted via the same method and am rooted again hoping this might help me locate what I have don't to hide these apps.
I had started the process of the 5x5 SecLauncher but I think this had happened before that.
Im guessing it was my failed attempt to load up the Jedi ROM as it started partially through but I could never get it to work I was thinking maybe I had only gained limited root access with the Root_de_la_Vega ? Has anyone been able to flash ROMS after rooting this method? Wasn't sure if I needed to us CF method if I planned on ROMs?
Shouldn't a flash of stock with ODIN replace any app (even bloatware) if JEDI ROM had deleted them? And as I said they seem to still be there just hidden....
Sound dumb, Ive spent several hours over sevreral days trying to learn how to do this. Like I said Im sure if probably a simple fix
.
OK never mind ... Ive figured out whats going on. Sorry to have sounded like a total noob.
Sometimes just cant see the forest for the trees lol
Thx krelvinaz for the Reply before
So I guess AllShare was replaced by Samsung Link...
Hello i've some problem with my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2.
Last week i updated my phone on Android 4.3 version.
Unfortunelly i had a wifi bug and I couldn't connect to internet, so I decided to downgrade it to 4.1.2. I've flashed my stock ROM with the newest one. (thanks to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380 )
Afterward, i would rooting my phone and install custom binary CWM by this thread, option 2.
However i can't modifiy system files. I consequently would verify my status root by Titanium Backup. And that's really strange because it is already rooted.

So i'd like to know how to resolve my problem, i how to modify system files?
(PS: sorry for my bad English!)
PS2: That's the same thing if i connect it on SSH/FTP protocols, unable to modify too.
I have T889 version and I just updated today with 4.3 with no problem.
I would say the best thing is just start from scratch and reinstall your app.
I don't even use TB anymore, I used to but I just happen to run into problem a lot.
I decided to just reinstall apps everytime I flash rom.

So, do you advise me to re-install the 4.1.2 version and re-root again?
update: I've re-installed and re-rooting my stock rom and nothing has changed. Can you help me please?

Try using the Odin again and when you full wipe don't even do anything just update to the original 4.3 via Tmobile.
After that install CWM or TWRP, Like I said I never had any issues installing Rom back and forth.
Just don't skip a step and never rush things.

Hi all
I'm going to buy the Asus zenfone 2 551ml and i have just a little problem.
I have seen how soft buttons are placed on the smartphone and i think that the back button could be too far to reach with one hand. i know that there is the one hand mode but regrdless this, i wanna ask 2 main things:
1) Performing the root on the smartphone i will loose the warranty?
2)with the root and by means the usage of an 3rd part app or xposed frameworkd, is possible perform a re-mapping of these buttons?
Thanks to all
Best regards
Root usually means you lose warranty. App ops does work with root. You can already customize switch apps button a bit.

There isn't a custom recovery yet for this phone, but root should allow you to unroot which may restore your warranty. The warranty is only for the original country. If you buy a TW version and you live outside Taiwan you don't have a warranty.
Also the phone has one handed mode that give you on screen buttons. You can customize the size. Some games don't work, but stock apps do. See attachment.

I have a question regarding pre-root. Say I flash the pre-root rom using adb since there is no custom recovery, if I want to go back to stock, I just unroot thru the superSU or which ever root app? Or Can I also flash the stock rom downloaded from Asus to convert it to stock?
Hello everyone, (yes I used the search bar)
I cannot seem to find an efficient method of installing Snapchat on a 7.1.1 OS that allows Snapchat to verified.
I would be thankful beyond measure if someone could point me in the right direction.
I am only asking because Viper4Android is so necessary that I cannot choose between the trade off of using Snapchat or V4A.
Regards,
ab
Iam using my Titanium Backup just fine
I am finding it difficult to find a proper tutorial as well. It seems though if I mess up the app installation, that I would have to go through the entire rooting process again....
Hello, you can simply unroot from SuperSu (or your root app), install Snapchat, and re-root.
I tried something, Titanium backup, app to hide the root status, but in the end I found that this is the simpliest thing... IMHO

Yes, and it seems that I can get it working for a short period of time until I am forced to re root and flash all image files again...

Really? I've rooted like two months ago, unrooted, installed Snapchat and rooted again.
If it can help, I'm registered to Snapchat beta.

Did something change in 7.1.1.?
I went into SuperSU on a clean root install and clicked and disabled the 'Enable superuser", then installed Snapchat, logged in, and re-enabled the option.

Hi, personally use Magisk with systemless root, works fine since 6.0

So I was driving back yesterday and my phone notifies me that I'm reaching my data limit. I thought, "That's odd, I've only used 0.1 GB". So I look down and see this monstrosity of data being used by the damn Android OS. How the heck can you see what would individually be using data in the "Android OS" package cause it could be any number of things. I'm guessing it could have been a system update pull but I did disable OTA updates in developer settings. I have root as well and I would like to freeze that process with Titanium Backup if anyone knows what that process might be on the Pixel. Also any other suggestions as how to further troubleshoot this would be appreciated.

It's the update pull even though you are updated. We have seen this a few times with others. Get it updated.

Well when I go to system update and choose to install update it says that it failed. Any advice on that? Can you not properly install updates while rooted?
In terms of updating to the latest OTA I followed How To Geeks - FlashFire Guide which put my device into a endless bootloop so I don't recommend doing that.
Still looking to see if anyone knows what to freeze in Titanium Backup on Pixel to block OTA updates from downloading. Thanks.

You must of modded something that is stopping it. There is a way to sideload the OTA, but the third post in the thread below is how I do it each month. Have ro reroot afterwards.
Pay attention to the part where you remove the-w from flashall bat file. That is what saves your data.

I ended up flashing the original stock ROM off Google's website and then went threw the systemless root methods mentioned here.
I now have the below:
Android: 7.1.1 ROM: Factory (Rooted) Kernel: 3.18.31-ElementalX-P-1.08 Build: NOF27B
im having tons of data through the same thing. I ran a data manager app and it said its google.uid.system:1000 . I reset the rom to original as I have not installed any other rom then googles originals. I have some of the highest data downloads its crazy. I even turned off back up picture folders. Here is the data.
