Hello everyone,as you most probably know I received my Galaxy S4 today.
I am trying my best to root it however nothing seems to be working at present.I have downloaded "Odin3-v1.85" & "Odin3 v3.07" along with the "CF-Auto-Root......md5" file. Everything goes through great and Odin says that it has been a success however when I use Superuser it says; "The Superuser binary (su) must be updated. Please choose an installation method. Recovery mode installation is recommended for HTC devices." I have tried both update methods however is just sticks on; "Installing Superuser". When I try and run a app that requires rooting, for example; "Titanium Backup" it simply says; "Asking for root rights..." and does not progress any further.
On a side note, I keep getting a notification saying; "The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions." Then it asks me to reboot now or later.
Any ideas would be much appreciated, as I'm new to the rooting scene and I don't want to brick the phone when I haven't even had it a day.
Thanks.

Hello everyone :laugh:
I'm new here in this forum and as on android user as well so go soft on me
I have a problem regardless the root and unroot device, my nexus 7 in rooted (I dunno if it is rooted by manufacture or not)
I installed some online games like Iruna online and avabel problem is I always got the same error screen "Authentication Failed"
I heard it got something to do with rooted devices, so I tried some programs that un-root the device for certain apps but it failed too.
any suggestion or this error is duo to something else
Ps:Google play is restricted in my country so I'm using hotspot
Do you want to hide the root or unroot the device.
No Nexus 7's are sent rooted from the manufacturer if it is rooted then this has been done by a user. Wugfresh nexus toolkit has an option to unroot but this involves flashing an unrooted stock ROM and will wipe the device. I'm not aware of any other way to unroot the tablet. Some apps say that they can hide the su binary from other apps. For more info on what "root access" actually is see XDA university for a pretty concise explanation. Try hide my root by amphoras if you can't get that on hotspot PM me and I will send you the .apk file.
Sent from one of my 47 iPads running android C3P0
I tried multiple apps that hide root but all failed, I will try the one you mention,
and I'm asking about the error too "Authentication failed" is it because of root or else ?
Edit: I just tried the app and the same error

Hi, SheepRaider...
If your Nexus 7 is rooted with Chainfire, then unrooting it should be relatively straightforward...
------------------------------------------------------------
** Go into the App Drawer and locate the SuperSU app. By default, the icon should be a YELLOW triangle with a RED hash (#) overlayed on top of it. However, this may have been changed by whoever originally rooted the device. See the first thumbnail at the bottom of this post for the alternative icons. If it's been made invisible (hidden from launcher), then things become a little more technically challenging. See this post for more details on this.
** Once you have located the SuperSU app, run it and tap on the SETTINGS tab.
** Scroll down to the option, Full unroot - Cleanup for permanent unroot, tap on this and follow the on screen instructions.
** Reboot your Nexus 7... you should now be unrooted.
------------------------------------------------------------
Take a look at my attached thumbnail images for the sort of things you should expect to see.
Hope this helps... and good luck.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Hi, guys. My name's Vandy, I'm new here. Been researching rooting for a little while, had some free time today so I decided to give it a whack. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 I-9500, running on the Ting network (I bought it from Amazon, unlocked). I followed the instructions of Sam Pullen's Samsung GS4 4.4.2 video to almost the T, but realized half-way through I had made a mistake.
The instructions call for the download of the auto-root and Odin, as well as an updated Samsung USB Connector device. I downloaded the two, but hadn't fully installed the connector- I think I never caught the prompt of "please reboot". So, I had entered the Odin process without completed that installation. While downloading the auto-root, the process froze on downloading a file "cache.something", and stayed for a very long time. Making another presumably chronic mistake, I reboot my computer to finish the installation. I finished it, brought back up Odin, and tried to continue or redo the install, but now it either a) crashes halfway through or b) says the download failed.
Is there any cure to this? Please let me know as soon as possible.
Hi there,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Just reflash cf auto-root trough Odin and you will be fine.
Ok, so ages ago I fooled around with my GT-I9506 S4 and rooted it.
Then I 'unrooted' it or so I thought.
I went to install a tap and go bank payment app on my phone and it refused to install saying my device was rooted.
I ran Root Checker and it said my phone was not rooted.
I went in to system settings and hit update and it refused, saying 'your device has been modified'.
So I have several questions,
1. How do I well and truly unroot my phone?
I'm downloading a stock firmware from Sammobile, should I just use Odin and do a complete reinstall?
2. Or instead, I see Xposed http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer seemingly can help you defeat root detection when installing handy apps.
Thing is I've tried connecting my S4 to my Win 7 PC which has the lastest Samsung usb drivers installed but it won't detect so I can't transfer APKs.
Grrrrrr. Oh, and Kies doesn't work either. ****ing Samsung, I can't believe how badly supported their phones are.
Both options would work.
Hi everyone guys, my nickname is AndresPiggy but you cal call me just Piggy as my friends!! :cyclops:
My problem is this:
I used to have my phone perfectly rooted with chainsfire(SuperSU)!! But... A time ago, I installed KingRoot accidentally and the apk started to install the root, after the root instalation failed, the Superuser(Apk from KingRoot) of KingRoot was there in my phone installed and that ruined the root on my phone, I tried to eliminate it but I can not, then, the SuperSU started having problems manage the aplications that need root access, after that I verify my root in my root checker and it said "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device".
"Root Checker App" : i66.tinypic.com/2re79n9.png
All these after I installed accidentally the KingRoot... After all this mess, I made a reset factory, but saddly, the Superuser was still there, and the SuperSU too. Now I dont know what to do I and searching help from you guys. :crying:
Searching more information from another apps I saw this:
"Simply Unroot App": i66.tinypic.com/ht5khv.jpg
"Unroot My Phone App": i68.tinypic.com/10ng7sp.jpg
"Superuser App" By ChainsDD: i63.tinypic.com/25gqc1w.png
I hope those pics help :good: Now I have the Kingo SuperUser deactivate it, and thats another thing, when I wanna install the bin of SuperSu, its failed, I tried by teh 2 ways and failed.
What Can I Do?
Hi Piggy! (As your friends call you)
The only thing I could think of in this case is to flash the stock firmware again. (Will cause a full wipe of the device though, so make sure you back up your stuff!). Unless your problem is solved by now of course.

Just like @RealFreddyBananas said. Flash a new stock firmware via odin. Then you can root your device again.
Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask for help when trying to root your phone.
First of all, here's some data about my Phone:
Model-number: SM-A300FU
Android-Version: 5.0.2
Kernel-Version: 3.10.49-6027881 [email protected] #1
Build-number: LRX22G.A300FUXXS1BPE1
Knox-Version: Knox 2.4
Tbh, I've never rooted a phone before, so there might be a few things I've overseen.
Until now I just tried to root via kingoroot (Can't post the link because I'm a new user) on windows (Laptop) since I'm somehow not able to install the apk on my phone (yes I did allow download from outside of the playstore, although only for this one installation). I didn't do anything else but allow usb-debugging and klick on the "root"-button on the software.
The rooting process then seems to continue kinda well, until it reaches 99%, where I have to klick on a Showing Messagebox which says that my phone will now get flashed with Odin3 Software. After I pressed "OK" my phone then goes into download-mode. As I tried it, it stayed there like for almost an hour until I chose to cancel it. Kingoroot then tells me that the rooting process failed, but everything else seems fine, so luckily my phone didn't got bricked.
My question now is, how do am I able to root my phone now? Should I just give it even more time in the download-mode, do I need to unlock the bootloader first (don't know if it's already unlocked tbh) or shall I install the Odin3 software on my laptop and try to flash without kingoroot? (Don't know if kingoroot contains Odin3, but until now I didn't install it myself)
Thanks already in forward to anyone willing to help me.
