I rooted my phone and after the root I factory reset the phone however after the reset, the phone says its rooted but when I go into Need ROOT apps it will tell me my phone is not rooted, and the superuser app that shows up on the app drawer before I reset isn't there anymore, the phone is rooted as the root app says, anyone know what's going on here?

I recently got a Galaxy S4 from att and I rooted it to be able to remove the bloatware. I tried to install a program called icon theme for rooted phones to customize my phone but when it rebooted it stays stuck on the Att boot up screen. Please give me suggestions on what to do. I am very new to android phones and rooting. Thanks in advance.

Yep wrong section....and your first mistake was not doing research
Before you do anything...READ READ AND READ AGAIN...especially with a new device...

just plug in your device to your computer and follow these steps:

this will completely disable Xposed, so you'll have to redo any other mods you had from it

Hi Guys,
I rooted my Samsung S4 (GT-9505) using motochopper, but since discovered some of my apps don't work with a rooted device.
I would like to unroot it back to factory settings.
What do I need to do? Is it a case of downloading an official ROM and using ODIN to flash the official bios back on?
I have reset the counter with TRIANGLE but my device status is still 'custom' and not official.
Is there a simple way of removing the root that motochopper adds or is an official ROM the only way?
Im in the UK and would like to flash to the latest Vodafone ROM and unrooted as new.
Many thanks
First of all, there's no app that would stop working because of a rooted device. Rooting just gains you administrator privileges, nothing more, nothing less. And yes, the best way to unroot and get the official status back is to download and flash an official rom through Odin.

Many thanks for your reply,
Unfortunatly your wrong there, Barclays PingIt (my bank account) knows when a phone has been rooted and displays an error page saying its breaching security and stops the app from working!! Crazy I know.
You can uninstall super su then reboot the phone.
You can get instructions from the Exynos Abuse thread by chainfire. It's at the bottom.

Hello there
I found that flixster wouldn't stream ultraviolet movies with root. I did find that using voodoo ota root keeper from play store helps that. Click on temp unroot, then when you've finished using that app that doesn't allow root, restore root. Unsure that this will work for you, but no harm in trying.

If I root and after I do it says that I don't have superuser access, do I need to unroot and try again. I used the ioroot method. The day before though I took the ota update. So from what I've read if you do so you can't get superuser access with this method. Also I will search for a way but could someone point me in the right direction to root properly.
Thanks

There is no working root after the oat installed at this time as far as I know so stay away from rooting and avoid soft brick.

Some time ago i rooted my s4 using cyanagen mod. The process ended with no problems. But, some apps that require root tell me it's not rooted and some do not. One that complains is ADB Manager.
Can anyone tell me what might have gone wrong and should I try to root again without restoring factory settings?
Thanks...
