I did read somewhere that you can bk up your root access and remove your superuser app, use sky then restore after but tbh the procedure was a lil long winded, and not a permanent fix.

It will depress you but have a look at this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506967

Basically no
I toggle root to get around this. Pain in the ass really and it MUST be stock rom and stock kernel.
Use OTA Rootkeeper to backup root. Then do a full cleanup supersu, and then restore root via OTA Rootkeeper. And toggle the temp unroot and reroot options within that.
Make sure you've fully closed skygo before using. Sky piss me off. ...

SuperUser Auto Deny

My New Galaxy Nexus is rooted and it was working fine, but not everything is being auto denied even the super user app. Any one seen this?
CR
Was it stock but rooted? Maybe you took an update?
Shell into it and see if you can su at all.
Yes it is stock but rooted. Does the 4.0.2 update break root?

Looks like it is broken. I will reboot and see if that fixes it.

Did you make sure the app is not on the approved list? Auto deny only works on apps that have not been set for approval. Let us know what happened. I'm curious which application appears to be bypassing it.

Yep, pretty sure it does break it. I saw posts on another forum about similar problems. Just root it again through recovery.
So I am in the middle of rerooting but it is still sitting at the google screen. Lets hope this is the fix that we needed.

So the re-root helped. I guess the update to 4.0.2 breaks root. I thought it was fine. Hmm.. Not to everyone i guess.

Rooting Detected

Yup:-/ I just use voodoo root keeper, temp unroot real quick before I use anything that detects it. Its stupid but at least a quick fix for the time being in these apps.

They are terrified of piracy and rooting makes it pretty easy.

Change superuser apps to SuperSU and use it's temp unroot feature. Also if you do so make sure you update SuperSU's binary's before you delete superuser

How do you update the binaries with SuperSu? Went through the settings and couldn't find update or update binaries.

It sort of did that... it said supersu needs to be updated. Didn't mention the binaries. When i opened the settings and didn't see the option, i figured that was the case but I wanted to be sure before I removed the old su
Thanks for verifying it for me.

I read the reviews and that's bull. There's no reason to keep rooted users blocked. Just rate it a 1 star and move on. Hopefully they'll see the error of their ways and revert the change.

[Q] Fake no root?

I play puzzle and dragons recently. And it blocks you if your phone has root. I wonder if there is any method to hide my root. I have tried many application but it doesn't work.
My phone info:\
Galaxy S3
Android 4.1.2
I9300XXELLA
3.0.31-899179
Any help would be appreciate
this should be in the q and a section but im not overly sure about a way to do that sorry.
Use supersu there's an option in the app to temporarily unroot.
But still wrong forum,questions should be posted in q&a or in the proper thread if u got a bug/feature report/request..
I have tried to use the temo unroot. but no use. It still detects my root. But when i choose unroot function, it alow me to play.

About rooting

Been a long time since I've been into rooting phones due to never needing it. I remember having an HTC hero which was kind of useless if not rooted. Now I own a note 2 and am wondering what would I gain from a root? Also could I still brick my phone? And if I decide to root could I transfer everything? (Messages, whatsapp, apps with their settings etc)
Thanks

Rooting your phone will definitely get many benefits (my opinion) For example do some system tweaks, remove system apps/bloatwares, or do something that requires root access. I don't know what you think about root, needed or not needed is depends on your needs bro... Hmm maybe I can say this, go check some apps that requires root, see if you need them, then decide to root or not...
You can root note 2 by using CF ROOT/NOTE 2 TOOLKIT/flash root zip file though custom recovery. Read the instructions is important mate... If you do I believe you won't brick your device/cause any problems...
Rooted device still can transfer data of course!

[Q] T-999 T-Mobil Network Unlock

Hi There,
a year ago i bought a S3 from T-mobil in the USA. Now i want to use it with a different carrier and called for an unlock the support for an unlock code. After 6 Times calling and more than 3 months waiting i now try to find another to unlock the phone.
My problem here is not that i can't find information, it's that is so much information.
So i got a t-999 S3 on 4.1.2
I want to get botherd by those tecnical things as less as possible, and don't need the root if it's not nessesary.
ALso i don't need all those T-mobil apps that are pre installed.
1. Option:
(easyist Option?) downgrade to 4.1.1 with odin and unlock with the servicemenu (UMTS-Debug...)
(where can i find the "stock" 4.1.1 and where the upgrade and afterwards can i normally upgrade?)
everybody says easy as pie but I'm not so sure)
2.Option:
a) Rooting the device and put with odin CF-Root-SGS v6.4 on it (it sounds like a generic s3 version without tmobil cr*p so maybe without the lock and the apps (if yes can i normally update afterwards?)
b)rooting it like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QPeIZZVYHbY and installing an unlock app?
(like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045)
c) rooting it with this wierd auto CF things
What do you thing is the best and cheapest way to to that.
(And maybe some help here ->noob)
Thank you for you time Gentleman
Downgrade modem

The best option since you want not root is to downgrade to 4.1.1 firmware which will also downgrade the modem, you will find the firmware in the development threads (stickied) after you downgrade you can do the service menu unlock.. As for the T-Mobile apps, they will stay there unless you root, or disable/hide them (no root needed for disabling or hiding)

There are some that will not let you disable them though, (usually the ones you want disabled the most!)
But I agree, if you really dont want to root, your best option is to flash the old firmware.

No theres actually a bunch you cant disable. Allshare apps, Google backup transport, Samsung map service, software update, sysscope, CIQ!, keyboard, and quite a few others.
The disable button is grayed out.
