I've lost root access after the 6.3.1. push.
I have superuser installed.
I have File Expert configured as Root Explorer
superuser shows File Expert is allowed
When I go into File Expert I see the brief message that it has been granted superuser permissions
If I change a permission it doesn't "stick".
OTA Rootkeeper shows all boxes checked.
If I un-root in Rootkeeper- I still can't watch prime videos
I also installed root check which says I have root
Items 1-5 happened yesterday and ended up installing a new ROM from here which eventually fixed my problem.
I supposed I could go back and do that again but I'm wondering if there is another way to resolve this odd issue?

I have seen this happen before that you can retain some permissions with certain apps but not really remain rooted its a 50/50 shot its odd but not totally uncommon results. Generally it has something to do with apps that had su permissions prior to the update adding new su permissions don't usually occur after
I did some more playing around and noticed the su symbolic link wasn't in system/xbin.
I decided to root again.
I got this error:
mv: can't rename '/system/bin/check_rooted": No such file or directory.
I do get a message that root was installed though.
Sometimes it won't push the files if they already exsist
I think I've narrowed down the issue.
After rooting I have full root access including ability to change permissions.
The problem is when trying access Amazon Prime, I unroot with root keeper. It removes su from xbin as expected but when I restore, it fails. From that point on I can't change permissions or (of course) put su back.
Any ideas on why root keeper isn't restoring su?
Oh, and even when unrooting, Prime still doesn't work.

No its always worked like a charm for me maybe go to the market and install su from there to see if that doesn't change its strange though that prime is still detecting it. This method only works on rooted stock from what I have seen. Each time delete backup when you restore root. You can also give a shot at fixing permissions. I believe that ota rootkeeper ask for permissions to maybe at some point it was denied and it stuck.uninstall ota and reinstall hope you get er fixed

How did you over come this error? I am trying to re-root kindle with version 6.3.1_user_410xxxx using the Kindle utility 0.9.5 and it (sort of) aborts at this point - though it does say it has 'rooted' as a display but I do not see it; would be kind if you can give some pointers.
How does one check if Kindle is really rooted? I am trying to install Vendor.apk (google market tool) by moving it into /system/apps but can't copy it to the dir as I dont have write permission - hence my assumption is that rooting has not worked.
Note: I have never been a superuser on this kindle before, this is my first attempt at rooting - but the 2nd try at rooting is throwing the above error. I can see the file renamed as check_rooted.bak in the dir but cant rename with ES_FileExplorer utility as I dont have write permissions
TIA

When I used kfu the last time it took 2 times to stick don't try much until you know its rooted and you have twrp installed and fff boot loader and have made a backup you can restore if something goes gunny.
---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 AM ----------
If you have done everything right it should reboot a couple of times the last thing you will see is twrp screen with a big reboot button click reboot and your done you will then see the fff splash screen of the boot loader it should eventually boot into the os

Had this problem the other night, I fixed it by loading Xposed framework first in Adb, then installing with ADb command, after open Xposed framework and go to modules use the mouse to tick the ouya box. after this I ran the script to install google play and bam I was running. the batch file would time out on my network copy and the xposed framework so I bypassed it and it solved my issues.

Could you be more clear on what you did? More detailed instructions please, less pronouns. I've installed the framework and ticked the box for the play store mod. Should I wipe my ouya and start fresh?

I have had this issue also, did you see the license agreement for googIe Play when you first opened the play store? I never got the license pop-up so I went back into Exposed are re-ran the installer and then rebooted. Once the ouya came back up I went back into google play and the license agreement screen appeared. Once I accepted the license, google play store loaded without issue.

Hey Everyone,
So Blizzard just released Hearthstone for android and everyone's rushing to be able to play the game on their android devices. I've seen some comments about how to get it to work but I have had no luck as my app crashes when I get to the option to log in. I'm currently on the most recent Slimkat stable build so that may be another reason as to why it doesn't work.
Taking the info I received from a thread on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/2pestg/hearthstone_is_out_on_android_tablets/
Download the .apk linked by /u/Xeonelite
Download both .obb files also linked by /u/Xeonelite
Put .obb files in the directory /sdcard/Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone
Run the .apk to install (you may need to enable installation of unknown apps in your settings)
You should be good to go if your screen is larger than 6". If not, follow the next few steps.
Install the Xposed module "App Settings"
Enable "App Settings" in Xposed and find Hearthstone on the app list
Check the box that says "xlarge res."
Save the settings and exit
Launch Hearthstone, you should be good to go!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The link to the files are here in this comment. I've had no luck so far, but others have reported being able to get it working. Have any of you been able to get it running? Successfully got it working with my reply down below! If one of the builds doesn't work, then use the other linked!
Im just trying to get works too. I think it should works flashing some custom rom and decreasing the DPI. We only can test and test until get it

Hi, i just find that:
Hey there
It seems everybody is eager to play Hearthstone on their mobile phone, but they can't because their phones aren't 6 inch or bigger. There is a way to get around this, but it involves some decompiling/recompiling and changing two lines of code.
First of all, the tools that you need are:
To decompile the APK: This tool
To decompile CSharp: Decompile CSharp: This tool
This one requires a plugin though; when you start this software, look for the menu item "Plugins/Plugins Manager" and install the plugin called "Assembly Editor"
Other things you need:
The original APK: This one
The OBB files: These
Step one:
Fire up APK Studio and decompile the Hearthstone APK
Open up the AndroidManifest.xml file
Replace android:normalScreens="false" with android:normalScreens="true"
The same goes for android:smallScreens="false" -> android:smallScreens="true"
Save this file
Step two:
Fire up JustDecompile and open the file Assembly-Csharp.dll (your_decompiled_folder/assets/bin/Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll)
Look in <Default namespace> for the class "MobileCallbackManager"
(if you haven't by now, open up the plugin by selecting it in the Plugins window (Reflexil))
There is a method in there called "IsAndroidDeviceTabletSize()", click on it
In the window of the plugin, on the "Instructions" tab, you should now see a line that has a value of 6 in the Operand column (http://puu.sh/dx8bX/bff8ee08ad.png)
Right click on this and select edit and change the value to 1 (or whatever you want, just a number smaller than the size of your phone) and then click Update
In the list on the left, scroll all the way back up, right click on "Assembly-CSharp", select "Reflexil 1.8 -> Save As" and save it (trying to overwrite the original one caused problems for me)
(If you have problems with this one, go to step two.one)
Remove the Assembly-CSharp.dll file and rename the new dll to Assembly-CSharp.dll
Steo two.one (Only if you're having problems saving the DLL):
- On the same line where you clicked edit and changed the value from 6 to whatever. Right click again and select "Replace all with code"
- This should open a window showing some code, **just click cancel**
- Now try to save using the normal steps
Step three:
Open APK Studio again
Click on the hammer icon (make sure you have the project selected) to build your modified APK (rebuilt.apk in the build folder)
Step four (you can skip this if you already have the OBB files on your phone):
Put the OBB files on your SD card in the following folder
Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone/XXX.OBB
Step five:
Install the APK
Enjoy the game
I've tested this myself on a Nexus 4 (KitKat) and Nexus 5 (Lollipop) and it starts on both. However, at some point it just decides to crash on my Nexus 5 and I assume this is because of Lollipop.

So it turns out another build of Hearthstone works quite well. Thanks for your possible fix too zliffer, that may help others who might need it! This one is version 738705 instead of the 738702 which was linked before. This one doesn't require being on a GPE rom, just follow the same steps for the same files and it should work!

Nice, i will try it now. in the other hand i had read that only changing the dpi in adb it should works
You could also try this.
Runs on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 without problems. Without root!
Just copy files and install apk.

Swipe from top-left to bottom-right at the Asus logo. That gets you to fastboot mode, then swipe up and down to change menu items, swipe right to select.
Or you can enable debug mode and use adb reboot recovery.

You are a hero. I have looked for the better part of 2 hours for this. Anyway I'll sideload the LP update and start over. Hopefully somebody can make use of the recovery and boot pulls and get us a working recovery.
I would be very interested in REMOVING the Wellness app. This is the only reason I want root. Guess I will need to wait until we have a root enabled file manager. Alas, I can write in C++ fairly well, but know nothing of coding for android. Be glad to test any recoveries and operating systems on my ZenWatch.

It can be done without a file manager. If you have root, you can enable debugging, connect to a PC by USB, use adb to get a root shell, then adb uninstall package_name.

Es File Explorer works fine and has an OK interface when on the watch. Also the KingRoot app that gets pushed has an uninstaller too for system apps. The biggest issue I've had is that when the prompt to allow root comes up you can not select allow. You have to cover the screen to back out, then go into KingRoot and open the log, then select the app you want to allow and set it to always allow. You have to do this after the initial failed prompt.

You have to download the normal phone apk from apkmirror or some other site and use adb to sideload it. Google sideloading apps to Wear, should work the same for any watch. Otherwise you can buy Apps2Wear on the play store. I have done that because its more convenient.
Ok, went through the whole process, is there a way to check root access using ADB?
You should have KingRoot app installed on your watch. That will tell you if you have root. I imagine you could try to pull some files from /system or something that would normally not be accessible. I wouldn't recommend writing to system yet. I soft bricked by watch just by pasting a modified build.prop over the original, trying to turn off low bit depth ambient mode.
Root confirmed, having issues side-loading the ES File explorer apk, though. I'm using the App2Wear method. Still trouble shooting.

Make sure you have adb debugging and adb bluetooth debugging enabled on watch. Make sure you have usb adb debugging turn on on phone. Then make sure you have bluetooth debugging turn on in Wear app. Make sure you do these in that order because the toggle in the wear app wont show up unless you have debugging enabled on phone first.
This is the KingRoot file you need for windows.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------
If it fails this time, I will connect it to ADB with command line and manually push the apk onto the watch. I will give it until after dinner to complete the process.
Cant get it to install, and adb says its an invalid apk file when i try to push it. I suppose its not really necessary anyway. Ill just use KingRoot app if I need to do file management.

Did you confirm the apk was good? I'd try installing it on your phone. I don't think KingRoot has file management capabilities.
On a side note, I would advise against uninstalling anything. I just went to flash the previous OTA and it failed because I didn't have Jawbone installed.
Hey everyone, i saw the new galaxy j6+ an i liked it. It's cheap with good specifications. Just wanna ask if there's a compatible twrp, root and xposed released for this device. If not i guess I'll wait an extra month or buy another device.
I tried to patch the boot image via magisk but it didn't work as well

I rooted my j6+ with magisk patched boot.img
Im sure you know the steps but just in case,
1. Do a full backup, cz you'll need to reset your device after rooting
2- go to dev options and turn on oem unlock
3- download magisk manager
4- download the rom of your device, extract it, then open ap with 7zip,extract the boot.img.lz4 with 7 zip standard
5- place the boot.img on your j6+
6- open magisk manager, it'll ask you if you want to install, press no thanks.
7- go to magisk settings, scroll down to patched image output format, select img.tar
8- go back to main menu, select install, then select boot.img file, then select the img you placed on your device.
After it finish patching, go to download mode and flash the patched img through Odin.
This worked for me

4- Firstly, downloaded .zip file has many files (AP, CP, BL, HOME_CSC). Which file contains 'boot.img.lz4' file and how to extraxt from .md5 file?
5- How to get boot.img from boot.img.lz4 file? Will renaming the file work?
6- Does magisk work on a no-rooted device?
1.Extract the zip, then open ap as zip, copy boot.img.lz4 to desktop
2.download 7 zip standard, it can extract the lz4 archives.
3. After your extract the image, place it on your device
4. Download magisk manager and launch it
5. When You launch magisk, it will ask if you want to install, press no.
6. go to settings in magisk, scroll down to patch boot.img format, select img.tar
7. Go back to magisk, uncheck preserver force encryption, select install, then choose patch boot.img
8. Magisk will ask to locate your boot img, choose the img you placed on your device.
9. After magisk finish patching, the new img will be placed in downloads folder.
10. Move it to your pc, launch odin and choose ap and choose the patchedboot.img .
11. Go to download mode and flash the img
12. Device will reboot and ask to reset to factory settings. Reset it and after it finish booting, you'll see magisk installed
Some notes :
1.Do full backup bcz you'll have to reset to factory settings your device after rooting
2. Unlock OEM in developer options
3. Magisk doesn't need root, it will root your device.

Next question, where to find TWRP recovery for SM-J610F?
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
I did not try this method. But, i'm gonna do it soon, because i did it from AndroDef's thread.
He already uploaded for ARJ3, but i had ARIM. But, i'm switching back to ARIM and will surely try this method and will share my experience.
There isn't any custom recovery released for this device yet,but i already submitted a request in TwrpBuilder project a month ago, hope they'll do it soon, you can check it here, it's at the buttom (47,it's the 3rd oldest request)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/downloads/twrp/#tab=inQueue
Also you can check the completed builds to see if the twrp building for the device is finished.

If you're interested, could you try this out? Just make sure you have the stock firmware to hand in case of any issues.

It's a partial success:
SUCCESS
1- Recovery flash is success (odin did not boot into recovery, instead loaded os).
2- After loading android, did a boot into recovery, it loads twrp recovery
FAILURE
3- TWRP recovery does not respond to touch or hardware keys
4- Device keeps booting into twrp recovery
5- Seems to be stuck in recovery mode
Brilliant.................................................................

Reverting to custom recovery, done.
Device is normal again.
A partial success though.
Might be issues with kernel, or something else.....
With your skills and my device, it can be done in a blink of an eye.

I'm pretty sure I can fix the touch issues.
Is ADB functional?

Well if you need custom recovery for xposed, there's xposed module in magisk that can be installed without twrp. I'm already using it and have multiple modules (gravitybox, xprivacy and greenify), all running without problems. For debloating, after your root the device, go to google play and download an app called system app remover, it'll show you all apps on your j6+. Select the apps you want to remove and press uninstall. After uninstallation is done, reboot your device

Sure, but never worked with samsungs. It's my first regular samsung device. Never liked exynos and cortex combo, but it's different.
Last time tried to push recovery.img via adb and it did not work. I have root and root explorer app installed. Where is that log located in system partition. I'm not an skilled linux coder guy but i have serious history with androids and palms.

Could not find /tmp/recovery.
But did find /cache/recovery folder, that contains last_log.1 and last_log.2 files
