Hello: I have an AT&T I337 that until 2 days ago had stock ROM on it. I didn't like the fact that AT&T blocked my ability to 1) tether, and 2) sideload so after about 1 1/2 years I finally decided to root and flash a ROM that would allow me to do these things. I downgraded from NB1 to MK2, rooted with saferoot, installed safestrap, and installed Deadly Venom's v3.0.2 NC1 KitKat ROM. Since there are some outstanding instructions in the AT&T GS4 forum I was able to do all this relatively easily (and I'm pretty much a NOOB) and I'm really happy with the ROM so far. The Wi-Fi Hotspot capabilities seem to work well; the only problem is that I still can't sideload. The "Unknown sources" option under "Security" in settings is greyed out and unchecked (so are "Wait for debugger" and "Verify apps via USB," under "Developer options," but I don't think I need those items for anything). Does anyone else have this problem? Or more importantly, does anyone know how to enable "Unknown sources" so I can install apps from the Amazon Appstore, etc.? I thought for sure that rooting would be the solution, if not the custom ROM. I even tried using the AndroidCentral Sideload Wonder Machine v1.2 that someone mentioned would install apk's regardless of the phone's security settings -- it didn't. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
It should be some "device administrator" app that is causing this.

You're right!
I just figured out that it was indeed my employer requiring device administrator privilege in order for me to sync my work email on my phone. I removed the email admin account and all my security restrictions cleared (along with my email account, unfortunately). Thanks for your advice, Case closed!

Hi,
PLEASE HELP ME!!
I've got a stock out of the box Galaxy S4 (4.2.2) and I'm having trouble with a couple of apps not installing.
The first app is Good Messaging for my corporate email, tries to install then says 'my phone is not within policy'
Just tried to install my mobile banking app and it bombs out and says my device is rooted.
I've have definitely not tried to root or modify the Android OS. I downloaded the free rootchecker app and it says I'm not rooted.
Is this an app problem or something weird on the S4 I need to modify so it appears unrooted? Never had this issue with my past S2.
Thanks in advance.

If you have to root your phone so that you can use this app, why you don't do it? It takes you a little 15 minutes, just follow the tuto carefully and everything will be easy.
Also if you want to go back to official stock for insurance issue, you can flash to the official stock.
I do not want to root my device. I want it unrooted (locked)- which out of the box it should be.
The 2 apps I'm trying to install will fail to work if the device is rooted.
Unfortunately the apps 'think' my device is rooted when its not.
How can I double check if my S4 device is unrooted/locked?
FYI- I'm with Vodafone UK (England). I wonder if their Android build is the problem? Is there an easy way to install a stock non branded ROM?

That is I tried to tell you, Root->Unroot = out of the box factory state. No one will notice that you have root...
That cannot be. Even if you device is root, you can still download any app. However if you device is not rooted, yo cannot download App who require the root.
Try to flash the official firmware of your phone through Odin, and see if it still displays that error warning.
"System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone."
Is anyone else getting this message? I've received it on both CleanROM and Jelly Beans. It's not a major problem... A simple reboot fixes it, but it can be annoying.
Do you have the Verizon virus stuff on your phone? I've had that pop up saying that

I had that happen as soon as I rooted the phone. I just disabled the Verizon bloatware anti-virus app with application manager.
I don't see any antivirus apps. I looked in Applications and in Titanium Backup. Do you know what it's called so I know what I'm looking for? I'm currently running Jelly Beans ROM.
If your rooted and have wanam there is a module called root cloak that you can add the program to. That will let it run normally while keeping root disguised from it. I had it happen once I upgraded to mje.

I've tried everything that's been suggested so far, but I'm still having this issue. Am I the only one who keeps getting this?
My Note 3 is stock (read this as not rooted - yet) I did get this message once after installing FoxFi (not sure why) and then it went away and has not come back. Rebooted phone to check Knox counter to verify that there were no issues - it was still 0x0.

My Knox counter is still at 0x0... This is obviously a Verizon message vs. a Samsung message.
knox is only tripped when installing an unsigned recovery or kernel.

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.

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.
First my phone's details:
Rooted
Model: Samsung-SGH-I337 (AT&T)
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build: JDQ39.I337UCUAAMDL
Here's the situation...
I'm an IT guy (low on totem) and we're in the Pilot phase for Android using MobileIron. I have a rooted AT&T 32GB S4 and I'm trying to fool MobileIron into believing my phone is compliant. I have done lots of reading on this subject, and nothing has helped, to this point. I have access to the MobileIron server, so I can register, and de-register, my device as often as I want. I plan on reporting this back to the people who get paid more than I do to let them know how secure this is.
Here's what I've tried:
1. I have installed Xposed Framework, and installed RootCloak, but it has zero effect on MobileIron. I couldn't even get to the point in MobileIron setup where I could download our 'secure apps'. (I am aware that RootCloak moved to Cydia, but I read it wasn't as good)
2. I tried using 'Hide My Root' from Play, and that also had zero effect on MobileIron; I got no further than I did with RootCloak.
3. I tried using 'Hide Rooting Lite' from Play, and I was able to download our 'secure apps', and MI required that I create a password/pattern to unlock my phone. In my opinion, this got past the first level of authentication that MI requires, which is a step in the right direction. I have recently learned that MI also scans your list of installed APPs for any APP that requires root.
Do any of you think that changing the names of some of my apps (Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, etc.) would help fool MobileIron? What about trying to DualBoot ROMS? If the secondary ROM that I setup is not rooted, and I have MI installed on it, would it be able to detect root from my primary ROM?
Any help, or ideas that I have not thought of yet, that you geniuses can provide would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi! Any luck with beating mobile iron?
MobileIron is kicking my ass. I have a Nexus 5 that's never been rooted and I can't get MI to install on this device. Is it because the bootloader is unlocked? I'm in IT as well, and our MobileIron administrators have NO IDEA what to do.

I had a similar issue in my non-rooted M8. MI started working after I did a factory reset .
Hi,
About two days ago I posted a forum topic about upgrading a relative's AT&T S4 here in Canada (Rogers Wireless). After a while, I was finally able to upgrade the bloody phone to 4.4 from 4.3 by following these two threads: I337UCUFNB1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM & I337_MK2toNB1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip and
I337_NB1toNC1_KeepRoot_OTA.zip & I337UCUFNC1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM(4/24/2014)
However I now have a problem with the Lock Screen Options, Removing Safestrap, and the Mobile Hotspot. First, when I go to set a PIN for the lockscreen, I only have the two options Swipe and PIN (which doesn't work at all but is an available option) while the rest have this message under them "disabled by administrator encryption policy, or credential storage". I've tried googling a fix but none of the fixes seem to work. It is said in the first thread posted above, that the MK2 bootloader users will experience a lockscreen settings issue but I can't apply the other bootloader provided that resolves the issue as it is stated that it may cause a hardbrick to the phone since I'm on the NC1 bootloader. I'm not sure what can fix the lock screen problem.
My second problem is removing Safestrap. Stated in the second thread above, there is a known issue that Safestrap will force close after updating to NC1, but Safestrap will continue to function normally after. I tried the method of manually uninstalling it by using ES File Explorer and tried deleting the safestrap folder under system/etc/ and the e2fsck file under system/bin/e2fsck, but I get an error that those files/folders can't be deleted even though I gave ES File Explorer root permission.
My third and final problem is the Mobile Hotspot that comes with the phone from AT&T. I tried to run the mobile hotspot today, but I get a message saying that Mobile data not available or Invalid SIM. I'm assuming since this is an AT&T Phone and AT&T is using their own software to override the System Default Hotspot Tether program, It doesn't let you run it without having a AT&T SIM. Is there someway to restore the System Default one that Samsung ships with it's phones and remove or disable the AT&T one?
Thanks.
Bump?

The manual method of removing ss is only for older versions, but good try. (I tried the same thing, myself)
Given the lockscreen and safestrap issues, rather than try and troubleshoot, I recommend starting fresh. It will be easier than troubleshooting. I'm not sure what method you used in the first place, but I've never seen safestrap fc after initial install. Try these steps and see if you have better luck... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51130818
***Note - The settings for safestrap are stored in the TWRP folder on your extsdcard. To get get the clean install, you will want to delete that folder before odin back to stock. (If you have any backups stored in there, you'll want to copy them out first.)
As for the hotspot issue, I am not in your situation (ATT phone on another carrier), so I cannot verify if these will work, but they sound good...
1. Do nothing. Maybe Odin back to stock fixed issue
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53509265#post53509265
3. Following your own advice of moving off ATT software, flash one of the roms in post 2 here that are i9505 based (or Maple Leaf, the Canadian based ROM)... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758259
