Hi there
have had my P8000 for a day now and just installed my barclays banking app which i often use only to see that the phone is rooted
I'm not really bothered about having root access if i'm honest just would like my banking app to work. Does anyone know how to remove root access from this phone this is how it was shipped to me from Geekbuying
Right it would appear that my phone is not rooted using various tools to check but the barclays banking app still says it is
it might just be that the Barclays app doesn't like your Chinese hardware/software but if you really want you can try to reflash the stock rom which is now available from elephone. there are two versions, 20150719 & 20150725 I believe from here:-
http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-6343-1-1.html#.VczX6xHbKbg
just d/l the original one then you can always update via the phone if you want the newer firmware...
Did you ever solve this? I bought the phone as it has dual Sims and I didn't want to carry around 2 phones! Without being able to use the Barclays app, I'm having to carry my old phone anyway. Any help would be appreciated

Any idea of auxus prime p8000 how to root & flash the custom recovery...?
I've been having the same issue and here's my findings.
If you try stock rom (whatever version), Barclays apps will never work despite Root Checker says it's not rooted.
However, in another thread, I was pointed to an app called Simply Unroot and I tried it and initially it did not work.
The dev of Simply Unroot spent hours trying to figure out why Barclays app thought it was rooted but eventually, he suggested I try the FlyMe ROM.
So I put on Philz recovery, put on FlyMe, I used Simply Unroot to unroot it (since it's full-on rooted initially) and WHAM, after a reboot, the Barclays apps work fine.
I don't have enough knowledge to say why FlyMe/Philz is ok.
I don't know if it's the ROM/Recovery combo that fixes it.
I did try stock and Eragon with Philz and the Barclays apps don't work on there.
Either way, Simply Unroot app/service is fantastic.
It's a shame it's the FlyMe ROM that works since it's not very good.
Does anyone know WHY Stock ROM is seen as Rooted by Barclays whereas FlyMe is not?
I'd much rather use Stock ROM since it has the fingerprint scanner (and English UK setting....)
Stock ROM is 'pre-rooted', at least the last two or three versions have been. They just require SuperSU to get app control - hence a few posts saying they rooted the phone by simply installing SuperSu (which it doesn't).
So it would seem that FlyMe whilst based on stock ROM doesn't have this - a good option to have. Perhaps some of it is based on the earlier 'un-rooted' stock ROMs?

The FlyMe ROM is based on the ROM for another phone altogether... er.. Meizu was it? That's why it doesn't have any ability to use the fingerprint scanner.
It's just really annoying though... banking apps aren't the only apps that have this kind of over-zealous check... there are other enterprise apps that have it.
I don't understand why the stock ROM can't be made so it is 'fully' unrooted yet have it easy to root later on.
£130 for a phone that is super fast and does everything flagships can do but I can't use it/recommend it since it can't run apps that most people consider necessary.

Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I've posted here, and I'm very very late to the party since HTC took its sweet time to bring the 10 to my country. Now I've finally got the phone (for entirely free through a corporate discount), and I'd like to do this properly, now. The key thing is that throughout all these steps, I want to maintain functionality of Android Pay. I have a few questions as well.
First, I'd like to S-OFF/unlock the bootloader. I tried entering bootloader mode (volume down + power keys) and noticed that there are a few new modes on this phone compared to my old M8, like Download Mode. What is it?
Next, I'd like to achieve systemless root - I understand this is entirely possible through the latest SuperSU.
Then, I would like systemless Xposed functionality. While searching around, I noticed a few new words thrown around like Magisk. What is it, and how do I get 'systemless Xposed'?
I'd like Adaway on my phone, and I believe it modifies the hosts file once again located in /system. Any way to work around this? Not to mention another couple of ad-blocking Xposed modules.
Next up, I'd like to install the AcoustiX audio mod. Not sure if that doesn't modify system files, once again.
Finally, I hope to remove some of the gapps like Play Music and Play Movies, and install the older HTC bundled apps.
Would any of the above conflict with Android Pay? How do I go about starting, and where do I look for more information for my questions (answers welcome too)?
Thanks in advance.
1. S-off, SunShine app or hardware solution like xtc2clip; why do you need S-off?
2. My SuperSU said systemless when it installed
3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
4. Good question; I'm curious also
5. I never messed with audio stuff; sure that's better than what htc provides?
6. Titanium Backup
Okay, so first of all I have a Verizon variant. I unlocked the bootloader/s-off with sunshine. Apparently you don't need to unlock the bootloader when you have s-off. I don't know why or how that works... I unlocked the BL anyways. You'll have to wipe your data if you do that. Just read up on that bit.
After that, you can install TWRP and do a full backup. Make sure you save that somewhere.
If you screw something up I think you can just RUU back to a working state. I think...
As far as Magisk... It's amazing. It's essentially a way for developers to make any flashable zip type mod systemless. To the end user it works similar to Xposed. You flash the framework in recovery (it won't modify the system, that's the whole point) and then you have an app to manage the framework and all your mods.
For example I have a Magisk mod that replaces my HTC dialer and contacts with Google's dialer and contacts (like a nexus). If I want to go back I just uncheck the mod in the app and reboot. HTC apps are back.
If you don't need SuperSU specifically, root can be achieved directly through Magisk with phh's superuser mod for Magisk. So the process would be:
1) download Magisk zip
2) download Magisk manager app
3) download phh's superuser for Magisk (Magisk manager won't function without some type of su)
**All of these can be found through the Magisk XDA thread
4) reboot to recovery and flash Magisk zip THEN flash phh's superuser mod for Magisk
5) reboot to system and install the phh's superuser app from the play store
6)install the Magisk manager apk from earlier
7)from within the Magisk app you can install Xposed as a Magisk mod. It's in the repository. Just install it and reboot. Boom, Xposed. If you want to disable it just uncheck it and reboot. Magisk mods work like Xposed mods so you can disable the entirety of Xposed in the same way you could enable/disable individual Xposed mods before (this is really useful if you have apps like Snapchat that won't work if you have Xposed installed). Another note is that you need to use the material Xposed installer. The old Xposed installer don't support systemless i don't think.
But yeah, good luck. I've found that systemless is a better way to go. For me I just like it because it's more organized. I can disable and enable whatever I want. I will mention though, don't expect Android pay to work. Magisk used to be used to make Android pay work on rooted and Xposed phones. It's moved away from that. It can still be done but it's a constant battle and it's not worth it. I'm not sure if I answered all the questions because I'm on mobile and I can't see the rest of the thread while km typing but yeah.. good luck man. Magisk is a great tool.

Update: you can use SuperSU with Magisk but be careful with how it installs. I don't know how to force it to install systemlessly.

S-off unlocks the same partitions as unlocking the bootloader does...and then some (all?).
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/about_unlock_process
and
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/faq
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. ... Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.
Security is on by default for good reasons. There are partitions such as hboot which controls access to all other partitions which if made fully accessible could compromise security and very possibly allow for irreversible changes that could render your device inoperable.

S-off + BL unlock means you can do whatever the hell you want (hboot, radios, CID, etc). So you need to know what you're doing before you flash something.
A simple bootloader unlock allows you to flash ROMs and kernels and recoveries.
These two things I understand... But...
------------------
What I don't understand is this (there's a post by jcase about it but I can't find it): When sunshine first came out for this phone, everyone was recommending to just perform s-off locked instead of s-off unlocked. I forget what the benefit was (I think it may have been avoiding the encryption corruption thing) but essentially from what I understood there was no downside to the locked bootloader.
Perhaps s-off just overrides everything but I didn't think that's how it worked. I've been away from HTC for a while and I'm not the most knowledgeable person anyways. I know enough not to break my phones but I remember back from the M8 days everyone wanted/needed s-off and the BL unlocked so I just went ahead and did that. I flash firmwares and radios and stuff so I didn't want to run into a roadblock in the future.

S-Off Unlocked = more restrictions.
S-Off Locked = less restrictions.
I know it's very backwards, but I believe that's the biggest advantage.
Personally, I changed my splash screen and flashed another hboot without the stupid red text on boot.
What about the newest Android Safety net issues around Unlocked bootloaders. If we setup our phone as S-off Locked, will it pass the safety net test? Ive read that the newest update is starting to fail on phones that aren't even rooted but have unlocked bootloader.

Hello
I have a Lenovo P2a42 UK version on 3 mobile.
I haven't rooted a phone before and would like to know how to root my phone.
Firstly, should I root to stock android first and then consider other ROMs?
Secondly, should I root from the UK version (SO56) to the ROW version (S232)?
Finally, what is the best way of rooting to LineageOS in a secure way? What is the best site to download the necessary files?
Sorry for all the questions but any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Firstly, should I root to stock android first and then consider other ROMs?
A. My opinion move to custom rom unless you need led notification light.
Finally, what is the best way of rooting to LineageOS in a secure way? What is the best site to download the necessary files?
A. see the comment 1,2,3,4 on any custom rom thread or simply download aad on su from :- https://download.lineageos.org/extras
and flash it using twrp (remember change data to ext4 otherwise root may not work)
Secondly, should I root from the UK version (SO56) to the ROW version (S232)?
A. i didnt understand what is rooting s056uk to s232
Hit thanks if i've helped

Entirely up to you, but I'd upgrade to the newer stock ROM for now rather than using a custom ROM. You will lose VOLTE support and some other features, like the battery saving switch / LED notifications.
If you do plan on rooting, use the guide in the TWRP post here on the Lenovo P2 forums. However, it'd be wise to read up on what you can actually do with root. Myself, I rooted in order to install a custom boot animation (tricky and not the standard method on Lenovo stock ROM), change fonts (a little frivolous considering you're losing warranty for it), and mainly to add a hosts file for system wide ad blocking. You can use magisk to root (there's a forum dedicated to it) but I have had quite a few problems with it.
Also, if you root, you lose access to some apps such as android pay, and lose access to features in certain apps (banking apps for example). Magisk claims to work around these problems, but it's tricky to install and upgrade and doesn't always work. I almost got stuck in a bootloop using the default uninstaller, and had to modify the installer by hand in order to get newer versions to install. On top of that, the magisk module system doesn't seem to work, at least on my device.
Whatever happens, let us know what you choose to do and how you get on.
Hi, my Mix2 arrived few days ago and I find MiUI quite nice, yet lacking few things. Those are easily available via xposed, hence I need to root. I'm also not so lucky in these matters so before I start to tinker with it I'd like to learn few things.
What are least dangerous ways to unlock and root phone? (heard sth about magisk, its quite new for me, haven't been rooting phones for couple years now) Is it good?
Suppose I succeed unlocking, rooting and flashing xposed, can I relock bootloader? I want that because ie AndroidPay needs that to work, and I haven't found any working rootcloack or similar (at least on Note2)
How reliable is 'the most official tool' for xiaomi flashing (from eu.xiaomi.com ?)? I mean can it bring back the dead or revert phone back to where I started, without any trace of tinkering?
As a new xiaomi owner are there any critical things I need to know?
Thanks!
If you flash magisk, which is the best thing ever btw, you won't have to relock bootloader to get Android pay working.

Thanks, I read about that and intend to use it. Though, there might be some issues with magisk and different versions. What features does it have?
So far, need to wait 3 days to unlock bootloader.

It's generally considered to be dangerous to relock a bootloader with anything other than perfectly stock/factory firmware installed. It may be ok to do this technically but it sort of "ties your hands" in some ways after making an unofficial modification and makes it a bit harder to recover from a botched situation.
You can have an unlocked bootloader and still use Android Pay. This can be achieved either with a ROM that is built to accomplish this (Epic ROM is an example of this) or by using Magisk, which allows root without any sort of SafetyNet trip in many cases. I don't believe there's *any* way to install Xposed and also use Android Pay or any other SafetyNet apps...the best alternative if you really want Xposed is to use Magisk and then install the Xposed Magisk module...you still can't pass SafetyNet with this setup but Magisk allows you to disable Xposed if you're willing to uncheck it in the Magisk Manager app and reboot the phone, after which time SafetyNet should pass ok...at least with this setup you'll be able to kind of have your cake and eat it too, though it's not ideal as you'll have to reboot if you want to change the status of Xposed.

I tried AndroidPay few times past few days and it didn't work at all. Perhaps terminals were not compatibile. So lets say I gave up on AndroidPay - can I use regular Xposed along with Magisk? Or does it have to be that module?

Oh! I think I may be able to help you with the Android Pay issue - my phone didn't work right with Android Pay until I made sure *all* Google apps' permissions were allowed via the Apps menu in Settings (along with "Autostart" via the security app)...and also toggled the NFC setting where it lets you select between "embedded secure element" and "HCE Wallet." It probably is on "HCE Wallet" but try toggling to "embedded secure element" and then back to "HCE Wallet" a couple of times. My Mix 2 would not make a terminal connection until I did this...it would just say "card read error." Seems like a firmware bug. Let me know if that helps!
But yeah if you don't want to use Android Pay then normal Xposed should be fine...you wouldn't need Magisk I don't think. Though, I'm not sure but I think the Magisk Xposed module probably functions the same as normal Xposed so I'm not sure there's an advantage in doing so. But of course it's all about personal preference!
Whoah, I'm still new to xiaomi/android7+ policies, where each app's permissions are reduced to bare minimum (messenger not being able to show notifications for example). I will definitely try this tomorrow.
So far I just managed to unlock BL, flash recovery and install magisk. SafetyNet checks ok. Will try xposed tomorrow after some payments ;D Thanks!
HCE wallet worked for me (I had it set to SIM wallet).
If I understand correctly here is the possible solution to xposed+magisk+androidPay.
I'd need phh's su binaries for that and keep crossing fingers for it to work on 7.1
I need to learn more about that stuff before I break something
So as I was expecting I experience troubles in installing Xposed.
I followed official way as in here And got bootloop.
I removed magisk stuff in recovery and fixed bootloop, then installed v89.0 (not .1) and also bootloop.
Im using SDK25, and miui 9 - 7.1.1 so it should be ok I think

Hello,
Yesterday, I successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy S10+. But since I still had some questions about it, I went on and posted a thread here. User Spaceminer then pointed out that my original post was in the wrong subforum and linked me here. Naturally, I looked at some of the most popular posts in hopes to find answers to my questions. But what I found confused me more than it gave me answers.
Since 2014 with the Samsung Galaxy S5 I got used to rooting in order to disable bloatware, protect my data and customize my phone. I continued doing that with the S8+ until I recently got my hands on the S10. Now, my main reason for rooting are still the same; I want disable (not necessarily uninstall) bloatware, protect my privacy and customize my phone (such as changing the background of the dial when calling someone). But that thread made me wonder if it is even essential to root. I also found a similar post on reddit and most answers seem to agree that it is not necessary to root your phones.
Now, my situation is a bit different. For one, I already rooted my phone. Second, I don't care about warranty nor custom ROMs. But I do want to install a banking app. Also, it is a bit cumbersome to not only have to manually update your phone with every update but the booting requirements with the warning screen are also a bit annoying. So, my question is the following:
What are the advantages of rooting that are not possible without? I have 3 main concerns: Bloatware, Privacy and Customization.
The reason why I posted this in a separate threat is that I was not able to come to a definitive conclusion on my own and most discussion threads are over a year old. By now, the whole process of rooting and what is possible changed since then, so I want to get a more recent insight. I hope you can help me out.
With kind regards,
DasMalzbier
Tbh root is not needed, unless you want to use a custom rom. Most things are already in the android now.
Calyx os not make for samsung Galaxy series and 12 update also comes this year so i think rooting is unnecessary for s10 series
Root is 100%, absolutely necessary for using the phone. I cannot use any phone without it. Critical root-only capabilities:
full system backups (in twrp)
titanium backup
disable updates permanently (update ONLY when want to)
app freezers (app quarantine)
disable/remove bloatware
disable google play services/google play
automate/tasker
cf lumen
adblockers
wifi tether
busybox
superuser
ssh tunnel
update android to later version / install custom roms
optimize system
button mapper
custom theming / substratum
nav gestures
tidypanel
xposed
root explorer
app privacy customizations
3c all-in-one toolbox
more
Without root, the phone is unusable to me. I will never buy any phone without root capability. I am willing to go to different carriers just to get root on the device, or go to different manufacturers if root is blocked. For example, I will never buy a huawei device - they are locked.
I would like to say yes but I can't. the stock apps are very well designed.
The biggest concern is that custom Roms are released faster than modded apps.
For example I tried about ten GCAMs and all of them have a bug... and it becomes more complicated with Exynos.
OpenGcam is not worth samsung app.
Unable to get voice match to work.
Alarms that you can't set to a specific day with the google app.
And so on.
Root is useful when the manufacturer no longer updates the devices.
I regret having Root mine because I lost Samsung Pay and other things.

No, even if you wanna use custom rom you don't need to root. Just pick the rom with the apps you want or just use the gapps packages you want, if want essential to work gapps then use pico or nano. If there is still something you want to remove and the romdoesn't allow, just use adb shell commands and thats it. Less issues with banks not working because of Magisk (root). I know Magisk has a feature to hide itself, change its name but depending on the app, the libs can be found and know that is Magisk, so for security purposes some apps don't work and some aren't even shown in the Google Play Store just because you rooted the device.

It won't get any new Android upgrades AFAIK.
But appart from tripping knox, what else do I lose if I unlock my bootloader? I read once, quite a while ago, that the battery is limited to 80% of its full capacity. Is that true?

Depending on the version, you'll notice stock camera to be limited or not work as expected, secure folder, dual messenger either not working, it can trigger some banks or payment apps (especially if you root), no more ota updates (if you keep using stock rom), drm content can stop working, samsung pay, Play Store might limited the apps you see and so on... Not sure about the battery, for me unlocking the bootloader and switching to another rom made my battery last more than stock, but it depends on the rom, the device, it's not a rule of thumb.
