Hey!
I have to send my phone back to AT&T because the microphone isn't working. I had an unlocked boot loader and was rooted with TWRP and Arhd. I got back to stock yesterday by restoring a stock nandroid I had made in TWRP before I flashed ARHD, flashing a stock recovery, and relocking my boot loader. However, Super su refuses to leave my app drawer. I do the perma unroot option in the menu and it works until I restart the phone. Then it shows back up. It might be that I need a stock kernel but I don't know
Please help! Thanks!
You probably need to do unroot with twrp installed since it relies on a custom recovery to write to system partitions

So I need to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP again and then it will work? Once I do that, do I just do the regular perma unroot in super su?

I can't seem to find a stock kernel any where either. I tried restoring from a stock nandroid and this kernel still stayed. Helo?
I thought you already returned to stock. Is your kernel not stock?

I've never flashed another ROM or a custom kernel and this is what my kernel shows.
I am unlocked and rooted on stock.

Pretty sure you are on the stock kernel Xeron.
This might be of interest to you. Someone in another thread had to use it to get rid of SU.

Thanks for this! I actually ran the tool and while it did get rid of SU from popping back up, my kernel stayed the same. But at least now I know that is isn't a custom kernel. Thanks!
Why would su change your kernel?
Sorry I think I missed one of your posts earlier. I was at work and distracted while trying to help you. Su is just administrative access. The application only manages what apps can and cannot have administrative access.

I have no idea how or why SU would change it. However, do you know how to get back out of it and have a normal kernel name?
What's wrong with your kernel name? Looks like a nice kernel name to me.

I think you're going to have to reflash stock, then re-root.

So after a long wait and a lot of people asking about it. Here is the full 6.01.605.05 Verizon Wireless OTA. Packaged with the new kernel. The only thing that has been done to it is it is rooted, busybox installed and init.d support enabled. This ROM is still odexed and I've uploaded 2 versions.
1 is full stock with all the apps as if you just got it (with the exception of SU being added.
The other has most of the VZW apps removed.
Feel free to use this ROM as you wish. Use it as a base or whatever. There may be add-ons at some point but I'm not promising them

I just upgraded from a samsung captivate to to the i747. I am familiar with the rooting process and flashing roms. However with this device I noticed I have CLI5 installed on it. I can find very little about this build. Can I root this with the standard methods? Or is this one I will have to wait on for a while. This is an AT&T phone.

You can flash CWM with ODIN and then flash SuperSU or Superuser. It will increase your download count but that can be fixed with Triangle Away from Chainfire.

The process does not install a kernel and when it is done, you'll be left with stock recovery with root.

Install an app from that requires root, if the app requests root and you press allow and the app works you`re rooted. What recovery do you have, samsung or CWM?

Reset the binary flash counter with Triangle Away and flash the stock rom rom with Odin, after that do a data/factory reset and after the reboot your status should say Normal again.

That's what I'm wondering as well
I believe that you would have to be on a computer. Packages like this are made to be flashed through fastboot which requires a computer to do manually. Developers "repackage" them to make them flashable through rooted recoveries.

Also, You have to have stock recovery for the update to even work fyi.
I'm at work and will have time soon to flash this. Might have to revert to stock recovery though first. I'll get back to you, hopefully I can get the actual OTA downloaded and uploaded this evening.

yes. s-off can not go back to on unless you fastboot command it too.

this is true. but if the OTA package is installed the first thing it will do is replace hboot and recovery. (thats why sometimes you have to flash the ruu twice, first time will do hboot, recovery, firmware. second will be the rom) if you fastboot flash you dont need stock recovery. it will be installed regardless.
Nevertheless i would wait for Santod040 to do his work. if you flash now, the boot.img will make system non RW and you will loose root. the boot img needs to be modified or removed and its not as easy as unziping the firmware to remove it.

That would be awesome. I'm already unlocked boot loader and s-off , i thought it would b as simple as flashing stock 4.4.3 Rom and recovery, then taking OTA. And then flashing twrp and supersu , I thought for sure I was right about that, but there are many here who r far more experienced than me here, so please share your findings, it'll b MUCH appreciated!
