Hi guys,
Anyone using GFE on there rooted samsung epic? My company checks for root and was wondering if the Supercurio root keeper will work to do a temp unroot and have access to GFE. Any idea if I need to rename or remove superuser.apk if I use the Supercurio root keeper?
Thanks..
Why not just make a backup via cwm and have a stock non rooted rom running? Do they check for just SU or the 9 yards? If so you could odin in the stock el30 package by toadlife, odin a recovery , make a backup and flash whatever rom then if your company decides to check restore the back up and you'll be find

The whole 9 yards I'm afraid . That is an idea but was hoping not to flip back and forth from stock to rooted. But if there is no other way it's probably the route I'm going to have to take.
Also it makes sense that it should work but since I never went back and forth from stock to rooted from CWM. The question is coming to my mind will it work? Or do I need to Odin to switch back and forth.
What is GFE?
Edit: why would it even care about root...

I use GFE and I am rooted using mostly stock ei22 rom from xbtx. I thought GFE app had some sort of checking for rooted devices not that the company checked for rooted phone. How would the company check to see that your phone was rooted ?

Good For Enterprise, it's an app to get your corporate email on your phone.
I use it, and we don't check for root.... I seem to recall from my GFE training that they can check for it, we don't.
I use GFE and I also have it deployed to hundreds of users at my company. I'm not sure if I'm somehow using a different version of the Good management console, but I don't remember having an option to check for rooted devices? I'll double check tomorrow, but I feel like I would remember seeing that option.

GFE the app has a check. From what I read it looks for superuser.apk and whatever else is root related. Coworker of mine has the same phone and rooted rom and got a message that the phone won't provision with gfe because against company policy i.e. phone is rooted.

the donate version of superuser has ghost mode, the apk hides and you can only access it through a dialer code you select. you can set it to refuse and superuser requests while in ghost mode or to allow based of your settings.
can you check for superuser without superuser permissions?
i'm sure you need something more but a chance to plug elite, i couldn't refuse.
Thanks. I'll give the ghost superuser a try. Maybe a combination of SuperCurio rootkeeper and this will work.
Well I got the superuser elite but it looks like ghost mode just hides the icon. Not sure if this will work. As GFE will still find superuser in both the /sbin and /xbin.
Update- Still not in compliance tried both rootkeeper and super user elite.

Unfortunately, this will not work. I'm not sure what doesn't match up, but each time you flash, even from a backup, it will want you to reactivate with the Good server. Fortunately, I work in IT and can get a PIN in about 4 seconds, but for someone who is at the mercy of their IT department...flashing then begging them for a new PIN isn't a good option
Weird. I backup with MyBackup Pro, and I don't have to reset my PIN every time.....
From what i gather as long as you backup good in offline mode. It wont require a pin everytime you flash. I haven't tested this my self but have read people having success using this method.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
That could be, I only turn mine on when I'm oncall.
Can you set your PIN to never expire? Last job we had that, so the handful of users who had it didn't have to get a new PIN every time.
I've been looking for Jailbreak/Root detection, but haven't found it yet. Saw it in a manual but it didn't say where to set it.
Ae these companies you guys are talking about using exchange email servers or what?? What is so different that you are using this gfe app rather than stock email app? I run corporate exchange from stock email app and no issues with being rooted however I am the network admin too though lol.

Supposedly, GFE allows for better data protection. We pay for it because of the potential for PHI* on the device. We do have OMA here, but until we upgrade our servers to Exchange2010 we don't have as much control over the device and can't remotely wipe it if it goes missing.
Or so I'm told. /shrug

So I went ahead and tried to unroot my rom. By just deleting superuser.apk and su by using adb. Only issue I'm seeing is that everytime I reboot su and superuser.apk come back and the phone is rooted again. Any ideas why? Surely GFE will not work if root returns after reboot .

You're using a rooted kernel.
Thanks k0nane! That makes sense.

I use a combo of renaming superuser.apk and installing supersu and freezing gfe to bypass the checks.... pm me if u need info.

I was the stock ROM with my epic rooted ( so i could use wifi hotspot). I got a notice saying 2.2 was finally available, clicked install now and my phone downloaded and then restarted. Then it said install failed and gave me the option to reboot now.
thoughts on how to get froyo working?
Bj
Supposedly , it might be because the root deleted thbe bloatware. I reinstalled all te bloatware ad tried themanual install and it failed. I think you have to remove root and reset phone to stock

If you used one click root, and it deleted the Asphalt Demo, give this a shot. Also take a look at richse's post. This will keep you from having to wipe off your phone completely.

Use Backup to gmail to save your phone log and sms. Use tb or my backup to save your files and data. Odin to eb13 (get .exe file from samsung, install on windows, find .tar file in folder) and do your restores. Restoring data across different firmware is sometimes eventful.

as Klownin says, it's probably the asphalt demo missing. Why they have it set to remove that app when it's known to cause issues in the future with updates is beyond me. Should be left there for the user to back it up and remove it much like all the other crap is left!
99.999% sure the missing demo is your issue, and it can be fixed
To be fair, having clockworkmod in the one-click also breaks updates. If the updates are going to be broken already, why not remove useless files?
Get the cwm flashable eb13 from this thread and flash it with clockworkmod. It will update you from di18->eb13. You don't need to reinstall asphalt. You won't lose your apps and settings.
My mobile hotspot no longer works after I updated to gingerbread. I had it set up with the custom APN method. Has anyone found a way around this?

Is there a way to do it without rooting? It was so simple to create that APN, and I didn't have to be very technical.

Well f**k me sideways, this presents a problem since I was using my atrix for home internet. So there's positively no way to use the nice and simple modified APN method on the OTA update?
Not that I know of dude but I just tried that root method and it works. It's pretty easy. I have no experience with this sort of thing and figured it out. If you have problems with the last step installing the superuserapk just download the superuser app in the market. Thanks for the help guys.
hmmm....
Does anyone know what the consequences of rooting are?
I.E.....Does it prevent the ability to install OTA Updates?
Or is any other functionality lost, prevented, etc...
I realize this is quite noobish, but having come from Windows 6.5xxx (energy fan), and know not enough regarding android. Furthermore, previously who cared about updates OTA from AT&T, they were non-existent......but now?
Thanks!
P.S. I have no desire to modify my rom or flash another, I just want my bloody hotspot back on my unlimited plan.
How do you know if you were successful at rooting? I tried the steps and I thought they worked but when I went to uninstall Vlingo (which I thought I'd be able to after I rooted) it didn't give me the option to uninstall. I also tried to install wi-fi tether from the Market and I didn't have the option to download. I'm assuming I wasn't successfult at rooting, but before I do the steps again I want to make sure.
Download root checker and superuser from the market

download Terminal Emulator from the market, open it, type "su" and hit enter. if the $ changes to a #, you have root.

Im trying to root my D2. Followed the guide on TheUnlockr. Got to one of the final steps (the one where it tells you to download ConnectBot and type cd /data/local/tmp, enter, ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin).
That works for me. Then it says something like "forked xxxx children". Then I type exit, and it freezes til it force closes. I can't reopen the app after. I have to uninstall/reinstall and usually pull the battery.
I've tried different terminal emulators as well; they all do the same thing.
Has anyone else rooted using this method? am I doing something wrong? Btw, I have a Droid 2 Global (if it matters) running 2.3

Try this one instead:
http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/
That, or search for Z4Root, it will root a Froyo Droid 2 or D2G, but if you already ran the OTA GB update it will not, you'd need the method above.
Thanks, I'll check it out in a little bit. I did use the Z4 method prior to the recent OTA update. It said it worked, but I couldn't flash a custom rom. Also, when I used a Root Checker from the Market, it said I wasn't rooted either. This is all before I updated.

Edit: That one-click method didn't work either. It went through, rebooted my phone three times, and said it should be rooted. I used that Root Check app, and it said I didn't have root access. Also went to use Barnacle Wi-Fi Tethering, and that said I didn't have root either, even though I have SU on my phone.

I would SBF back to Froyo and run the OTA again, that will guarantee the root is removed. Then use the link I provided and you should have SU. Running Z4 might have corrupted some files since it's not compatible with OTA GB.

So, I was excited to see a new version of SuperUser available yesterday. I updated and much to my surprise it screwed things up on my atrix pretty good.
Now it doesn't even prompt me to allow permissions for some apps, and just auto denies them the perms. In SuperUser app it self those apps dont show up, so I cannot manually allow them ( even though they are being logged as denied).
Im no idiot.. I can usually work around most problems I encounter.. so I go into preferences and set it to "auto-allow " everything SU permission. The apps STILL get denied. I have uninstalled and reinstalled those apps. No luck there. I guess I could try uninstalling and reinstalling SuperUser but I'm not sure that will work either.
Normally I wouldnt even care, but it just so happens the apps its screwing up on are Adfree and LBE privacy guard. I am not pleased. Looks like I may have to restore this month old nandroid backup I have.
Anyone else had any of these issues with the update??
i got the update (and also an updated su) and everything is working fine.
Everything is working fine for me... (Stock Froyo) *knock on wood*

i dont rly like the update either but it is working but it dont show the apps in the app list
no problems here
I had a problem the other day regarding a binary update with superuser and gave up and reloaded my Rom, works fine now. Luckily backup worked better than I thought and back to normal already.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Also no prob with su.
Instead of reinstalling your old backup, just uninstall the update in the app manager.
If you update it'll say at the bottom "Was that cool Do it again?" Click do it again and it will then prompt you for SU access. I haven't had any issues yet.
Im aquired a copy from CWM Rom Manager and I am on a stock 2.2 rooted/unlocked rom. It works fine.for me and with Super User Elite from the market it really works lovely.

I had a problem with SU Binary as well. RE-Rooting the device worked for me.
Mine is fine but the apps dont show in the app list it is the free ver does anyone else have this prob
So i just odin'd from miui to stock, went to root, everything went fine. except that it kinda didnt. now, whenever i try to use an app that requires root (rom manager, root explorer, etc) it crashes. Superuser does it too.
is there something i'm missing? i've odind many many times, with no problems whatsoever. this time tho, nothing root related works. i've tried re-odining, rerooting, with different files that i've had on my computer for ages, with new ones just downloaded, with AIO. all to no avail.
any ideas?
I've noticed that Superuser has had some updates lately that could be the issue.

did you reboot the phone right after rooting?
Could you try using my noob guide and my update.zip files.... I prefer B as it is the fastest method. The ROM will give you root access.
Or get old school oneclicklagfix 2.3, I use it every time now. Root zip built in.

I recommend going back and using the noob guide option recommended above. It has also worked perfectly for me.
