The last time I was here, we could not root 4.3 without either unlocking bootloader or root 4.2 first. Don't know if things have changed since then? Now there is a new rooting app exploiting a newly discovered vulnerability and I wonder if it would work with the Xperia M on 4.3.. anyone tried it out yet?
Works. Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53425376
I tried to root 4.3 using towel root but when I try to root using the app and I click the button in it the app just hangs and after 4-5 seconds it fc's! I don't think it supports our device yet but no problem we have many other root methods. :angel::good:
It works!
But only half root.
You won't be able to use apps like foldermount.

Fix by nut does not work, after applying it my phone still restarts!

In Superuser there's a temp unroot option.

Why does it matter if its rooted or not? Does it detect it? And for an app to block root is a little pointless.

The barclays app will not install on a rooted device and exits as soon as it detects root access. Just tried the temp unroot option in superuser and can confirm to the OP the it works and the barclays app installs fine when using that option

SuperSU Pro can hide root access on a per-app basis
hi,
im having the same issue with barclays pingit.(version 1.5)
unable to get signed in, "device is rooted".
tried hide your root, superuser and supersu
So I updated my Telus S3 to 4.3 a couple weeks ago, I used cf-auto root to root my phone. Then I installed SuperSU from the playstore and SuperSU enabled a Knox block feature, so yah I thought my phone was rooted because SuperSU was working perfectly fine. But then a couple of root features didn't work, even though it says that SuperSU has granted it permission the app still mentions "error, no root access". Any solutions? And please if you're not 100% sure that you're method won't brick my phone then don't mention it.

Hi, guys. I wanted to write a post, but since i'm a new member, i'm writing a thread here instead. The thread i wanted to reply is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
I wanted to let somebody know (because it helps some folks) that i used CF-auto-root, and i have successfully rooted my phone.
More details that may be helpful or useful are following:
*Everything was fine until 4.2.2 (JB); then, my stupidity kicked in, and MANUALLY upgraded OTA to 4.3;
*I noticed this CF-auto-root, tried it, perfectly rooted my phone. And YES, i tripped the Knox warranty...
*At some point, i unrooted my 4.3 (JB) so that i can manually upgrade to KitKat when it's released;
*Successfully upgraded to 4.4.2 (KK) OTA on Mar 10;
*I couldn't find any info about "safe root" for 4.4.2, so i chose CF-auto-root instead (i tripped the flag, so i didn't care);
*I took the same steps for rooting 4.3 and it "worked". Initially verified with Root Checker Basic;
*However, SuperSU seemed to be "missing", and i DL from the store, and it opened fine (I didn't know SuperSU can be DL from the store)
This is my story, and i'm sticking to it
cf auto root work fine on my m919 4.4.2
It doesn't show up anymore in the app drawer. I don't have supersu in my app drawer, either. And, I'm definitely rooted. Sounds like you are, too.

Of course antiviruses will say that this is malware/a virus. It is using a security exploit, since antivirus definitions are updated every day this will have been added by now.
I still didn't who told you to use antivirus in your phone

It doesn't work, try it yourself.
I spent yesterday trying all possible ways.
You could get half root only!

Well ****. But you can install SuperSU though. Download zip of latest version from site, extract superuser.apk and install it.

To the people saying that the app only gives half root, have you tried performing the root fix manually without [NUT]'s fixer?
right well it seems i get full root access with towel root .... UNTIL i install superSU then it all just goes to sh!t without superSU i can install busybox etc even flash things with flash gordon but when i install the supersu app NOT the binary (it doesnt let me) apparently im not even rooted anymore.
which would indicate im only half rooted but i have full access and permissions to the system folder and everything else.
does this mean that superSU needs updating to work with towelroot?
I rooted my Optimus G E-975 with framaroot 1.9.3, it worked like it should. But now when I received OS update from LG i obviously cant update cause im rooted. I unrooted with framaroot, but theres still system/xbin/su file and superuser.apk in system/app. I tried to install superuser from framaroot again and it says binaries installed etc. But after I reboot there is no superuser. When im trying to install it from play market, it says that my su binaries are old. I want to unroot my phone but I cant since im not allowed to delete anything from /system or system/xbin and I cant root my phone with framaroot
So if someone can help me somehow, id be very grateful! Thx

My phone was also rooted using framaroot. Using LGs pc tools (for Windows), I was able to update to kitkat without any problems. I lost a few apps, but I could restore them with titanium backup. I rooted kitkat with towelroot.
