Reverse root back - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how I can get rid of the root access. I'm gonna give phone to my wife, and don't want her to have root access. That could be bad

You can unroot via SuperSU, and if you want to untrip the LGRCT flag then you need to use the flash tool.

Do you think the flag or the root is causing update to fail?

Do you have a custom recovery as well?

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"

Haha nice analogy.

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.

I just rooted without tripping the Knox flag. There's a thread in the Original Development section about it. It's a fairly simple process

I know its easy.. did you use the att root then? You cant flash roms with that style can you?

If you want to flash roms then you should go with the auto root method. This just gives root access.

Just double checking that no one is bricking with it.
Although with att root can I auto root later? I like phone as is minus bloat for now.
You said you don't care about knox so why go down that road?

Uninstall knox ?

So I managed to root my phone and disable knox through supersu. After that I froze it using titanium backup but I was wondering if it is safe to fully uninstall it ?
Thanks

Hi
Can you tell us how you gained root access? My device was rooted in 4.1.2 version and after installing 4.3, I started getting error "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked. Tap to learn more." If I use SuperU (which was installed during 4.1.2), it asks me to manually re-root.
I tried going through steps mentioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991 but didnt work.
Can you give link to the software and mention the steps to remove Knox or regain root access?
Help would be appreciated.

I used method one from that thread. The CF auto root method. Just remember to update supersu afterwards. It'll ask you if you want to disable knox when you open it up after updating.

Perfect!! it worked for me in less than 13sec!!
At first, device took some time to recognise the network, so I was a bit afraid but after 2-3 mins, i could make calls.
I had to install SuperSU separately, and Just as Florad77 mentioned, it disabled KNOX.
Thanks a lot to both of you...

[Q] Rooting after the new update(10m)

I haven't seen a clear answer on this, so does anybody know what root methods still work after the new update? If they all still do, is there anything I should do differently in the rooting process?
You have to wait till one of the methods gets an upgrade
BAD ASS G3
Well seeing as how the d851 boot loader is shipping unlocked from T-Mobile I think it would be pretty safe to say that once you manage to properly install the 10m OTA, you would simply flash TWRP from purpledrake in fastboot and from there flash supersu.

I used Stump root and mine is rooted again. I had to use the brute force root to get it done in Stump. After that I installed SuperU, TWRP and Busy Box.

Purpledrake probably replaced the M boot.img with the C boot.img. If it did that means your back on the C kernel and if it didn't you no longer have the modded disabled root checker.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you flash the TWRP? with TWRP manager from the Playstore? did you pick your phone trough the menu or did you downloaded the img. file ? I'm rooted with the new update but I want to flash TWRP, thanks

[Q] Updating rooted device

Hey guys,
i recently did this "one click root" thing, because my computer was broken. Anyway, i would like to ask if i can update system through the "Update center" or w/e the name is. If so, will the root privileges remain?
Thank you. Martin

You can't take OTAs while rooted,however you can still update apps through the update center. It us very rare to have an OTA work while rooted, so if you want to take an OTA you need to unroot.

It's just as simple as unroot with SuperUser? With any rooting method?

Not always because your RCT checker will still say rooted in most cases so you need to flash back to stock.

Is that not a one time unroot? I thought that if you unrooted with that method you could not root again until you reflashed the phone.
