How can I make my device appear to be Official/Not Rooted?? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Stupid NFL Mobile App blocked me from using their app because I am rooted. WHAT NERVE THEY HAVE! Lol, seriously though is there anyway I can fake being not rooted? Thanks.

You can try out "Triangle Away"
I don't remember if it changes device status to official, but I'm about 95% it does!

No, it just resets your flash counter, and I'm also pretty sure it makes the device status official.
But besides that, I don't know any other method

Does the temp unroot in supersu not work? If not I dont think there is anything you can do.

Ota root keeper get the apk from the playstore. Use the unroot function before opening NFL apk.

The revised apk works great!
Who would think with Verizon's name on the app that it would not like rooted phones. I am so happy that I dropped them last month and switched to Sprint. While the service is not up to Verizon's yet, not worrying about losing my unlimited data is awesome.

Lol, it was a bad attempt at blocking
I'm tempted to change the app to detect root again and have the banner say "Thank you for being rooted and fighting for the cause!", but still let you use the app

Rooted, what can I do now?

Hi
I have rooted my X10 now and I wonder if there is anything cool stuff I can do now. Changing the UX or something like that.
Do you guys know anything I can do now as my phone is rooted?

can u pls explain wat u mean by rooting?
Thanks for answar.
Rooting is to have the administrative control on your phone.
You can control everything yourself.
Is it possible to get free apps on the phone that cost in the Market?
Like jailbreak you have installous.

Ahh that's why, thanks for the heads up, I'll just stick with jam for the time being then, and that probably explains why the dog walker app only picks up the lead and sits at the door.

even with rooting, you can't up it to 2.2 anyway, because bootloader isn't cracked yet, correct?

CM7 and Sprint Visual Voicemail, any fix yet?

Anyone have a fix for this yet?
i've tried flashing a zip, installing the apk, all to no luck.
Install the apk then restore data with Titanium Backup.
thanks groove! it looks like after a reboot that worked..
BUT, now I have this "mandatory upgrade" crap in my status bar which I can't get rid of

I am still having issues. None of my voicemail will download, just like all the other versions I've tried.

Universal answer to all questions

_____ wont work on my _______
_______ wont update
__________ signal ________
____________ making no sense
I am bricked. No boot, no download mode!
Answer: 1. Odin to stock if you can get into DL mode if you can't, skip to step 2
2. Go to Sprint and say your issue or say you got an update and your phone wont turn on. Act stupid.
Big no-noes:
-Usually sprint store reps can't tell you rooted. So don't say "yeah, om rooted so..." or throw up an obvious sign like a theme or boot logo/animation.
This needs too be stikied and on front page good job bro
Don't you have to be in DL mode to use odin?

90% of Sprint reps have no idea what rooting ever means. It is the technicians you have to worry about.

The evo must have just been released today

Since the new ota root this forum is like it was a year ago...how do I tether, how do I root, whats a good rom, how do I flash, I think I bricked my phone, I'm stuck at bootloader..etc
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yup. That's pretty much in a nutshell how these things work around here. No sense in getting particularly agitated about it, if nothing else this may be a good chance to take a breather from the site for a bit while things settle down. At the very least just stick to the development forum to keep tabs on the latest roms and kernels.
What is root?
And why do I need it?

Even in the week leading up to the root being released I couldn't believe how many newbies we were getting in the forum. I guess they come in waves, and now that you can get the EVO free on contract I guess you'll just see more.

I totally agree, we will get all that info tomorrow by lunch time. Sorry if I sounded mean, but way too many people here are so impatient. I guess that will all be over in about 12-15 hours.
Hoping I can pick mine up today and then I will do what I can to help you guys out!
Not seeing it on http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ yet, unless we can use the HTC One selection, but I will be doing system/boot/data-preload dumps as soon as I can, although I am sure someone will beat me to it.

Yeah, I need to get data backed up before that, just to make sure nothing is wiped out of data as before.
Biggest concern is getting a custom recovery on so I can install superuser.
Hope root isnt far off for everyone. Getting my at&t model tomorrow.

Boo-urns.... I was in a Verizon store at five after one, made a stink with the manager about loosing my unlimited data and left in a huff threatening to leave. I knew I had no chance but it was fun anyways. I'm really close to leaving big red anyways. Rather have control back to use the network I want when I want to with a dev edition.
