Hi,
I am hoping someone might be able to help or at least point me in the right direction. I have 50 note 3 devices that I need to delete easylauncher.apk off or rename it.
So far the only way I have found to do this is to root the device and then rename the file. The problem I am having is that I need to connect these devices to an MDM solution which are reporting them as rooted.
I have used towelroot and cf auto root to rename the file and then unrooted using the setting in SuperSU. This hasn't worked and is still reporting as rooted.
Using Kingo Root seems to work and the MDM solution isn't saying it is rooted after unroot. I don't really want to use Kingo Root as it installs Clockwork Recovery in Chinese rather than English.
Could someone tell more why Kingo Root works and if there is a way to manual do the same thing?
Is there a way to setup one device and then produce an image of this device to use on all the others?
Can I modify the standard Samsung rom so I can just take out the easylauncher.apk file?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can change as desire on 1 device (by using Kingo) and reproduce the image to another devices as you have said.
Regarding Chinese CWM Recovery, you can manually flash another recovery on the first device.
On remaining devices no need to do that, because you need to flash the system image only.
Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
Just so I am clear of the steps I need to take:
1. Root device using Kingo
2. Flash English CWM
3. Unroot device
4. Do full backup in CWM
Now here is where I am getting stuck.
Do I now on a new phone just flash CWM and then restore from the backup I took? Or do I do an advanced restore and just use System restore?
I did try this after restoring the original phone to the Offical ROM and I was getting a MD5 mismatch?
What I am after is the quickest way to get 50 devices built with the EasyLauncher.apk file deleted or renamed.
Thanks again for your help.

Hello everyone,
I'm kind of new here in the forum but I have been around as a guest for a while. I own a Tab 10.1 3G and followed the instructions in the forum to update my tab to 4.0.4 XXLQ8 successfully. I'm so thankful to you guys.
But when I tried to gain root access after the update. It's unrooted again. It took me long enough with a little help from my friend to be able to flash CWM into the tab to be able install .zip files in the /sdcard again. But something is still wrong. With all the files I found in the forum, none has successfully given a proper root access (even though I followed the instructions exactly and did all the things needed). The thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807219
I have attached with this post 3 screenshots just to try to tell you what is going on.
1st image is BusyBox: It says my device has Root. And I have SuperUser installed in the drawer.
2nd image is SuperUser Fixer Update blah blah blah saying gaining root access failed.
3rd image is SDMaid telling me my device doesn't have root access.
So I can safely concluded that it is NOT ROOTED. BUT WHY? I did correctly everything.
I would like to know your opinion about this matter
Thank you so much
This is what I would say the best thing to do is.
1. Uninstall all su & busybox apps & preferably factory reset.
2. If your CWM version 6.x you can ignore this. Otherwise download the newest recovery for your tab from droidbasement and install using Odin. This is to make sure you don't accidentally invoke the "super bug" and brick your tablet
3. Make sure to download the zip in the sticky by Sockmonkey. Extract it and put the small flashable zip on to your tab
4. Install the root zip through Cwm. Now test by checking an app that needs root, like Titanium Backup.
To be honest it's probably easiest that if you want a completely stock rom with root just install something like tasks or toldos instead.

I found a way, finally.
This is a video instructions how to root galaxy tab 10.1 (4.0.4)
Youtube video name: Hi-Tik How TO : Root GALAXY Tab 10.1 (Android 4.0.4)
It has been there since August 23rd but I don't know how come I couldn't find it earlier. Maybe I search the wrong keywords.
Anyway, the correct Root .zip file in there really did solve the problem and now I'm running SuperSU with root access

Here I did it before and I never got a message says root access has been lost.
1. Odin it back
2. Root by using causal method
3. When phone reboot itself into recovery TWRP
4. Don't back up just reboot into welcome screen
5. It should ask you to install superuser, just install it
6. Finally, reboot into recovery and make nandroid back up.
On step four, I back up by using nandroid before superuser install. When I change rom, message always telling me I have lost root access quite often this way.

thats usually what i do, i tried 4 times. It doesnt ask me to install su, its already installed.
i might just have to update and wait for new root method.
Download a superuser/supersu zip file and flash it through your twrp/cwm recovery and reboot.when I first rooted my I337 ATT S4
It would loose just as I would enter recovery and my recovery would ask if I wanted to fix it before rebooting. After flashing the supersu zip file
I have had zero issues with root.

Hi all,
* Do i have to unlock my Bootloader before I root my OnePlus 2 phone ?
** If i'll have to erase all data in order to perform Rooting or Unlocking What is the best backup tool to use in order to restore everything ?
*** Where i can get an original OnePlus 2 rom to download ? (If i'll need)
Thanks a lot !!!
Best,
Jonathan
Yes. You have to flash SuperSU using TWRP, and to use TWRP your bootloader needs to be unlocked. Try out Helium Backup. That's what I used to backup my phone without root. It only backs up apps and app data though. No system data. If you need to backup SMS and MMS messages, use SMS Backup & Restore. You can download the stock OPT OxygenOS from here, though I would make a Nandroid backup of the stock OS in TWRP before you do anything first. Good luck!
Thanks for the quick response,
Another quick question, after rooting the phone will I able to copy into "/system/media/sounds/ui" folder without problem ?
The main idea is to add a poweron.ogg sound file in order to hear something during the poweron
Thanks again
Of course! Root gives you access to all system files on the device. You'll just have to use a root file explorer such as root browser which is probably my personal favorite. Many people also use ES Files Explorer. Just be careful if you do use it because you have to enable the "Root Explorer" tool.
Hi again,
Have you ever try to add sound during the start up?
Nope. Honestly never really had a desire to. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a tutorial out there on how to do it though.
I succeeded to unlock my OnePlus 2 ... using fastboot....., now do i have to install TWRP or to stay with the OnePlus 2 original recovey mode ?
What are the advantages for doing that (TWRP) ?
Thanks
You need TWRP recovery to flash the SuperSU app. TWRP is also what you use to flash custom Kernels or ROMs. If you want, you could do what I did and just boit to TWRP instead of actually flashing it to your device. Then you can flash the SuperSU app and have root while keeping the stock OPT recovery. Then, if you want, you can go get Flashify, purchase and unlock the premium features within the app (absolutely worth it!) and use it to backup the stock recovery and then flash TWRP so that you can revert back to the stock recovery if you ever want to. If you need more detailed instructions on any of that, I can submit another post later when I can get to my computer.
Where can i find stock recovery for OnePlus 2 (in case i'll need)?
I found this in XDA forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3209863
That forum post is just for downloading the stock ROM. Like I said in my last post, bootong to TWRP instead of flashing it and then using Flashify to backup the stock recovery would probably be the best method, however it seems like you can download the stock recovery from here. I personally have not used that download before so I cannot vouch for its legitimacy, however it seems other people have had success with it.
Which Flashify tool to use, which author (Christian Göllner or Nightshade Labs) ?
Here ya go!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
You can also use that app to flash the TWRP recovery straight from your phone.
Hi Everyone,
I might have a problem now after tried to root my Axon 7 A2017 B27 (using the instruction http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204). Unfortunately, the phone seems rooted partially after that.
Root Checker told me it's unrooted. But when i tried to upgrade to B29 package today, after downloaded and rebooted, it went to TWRP and couldn't be installed itself. The system indicated my phone has been rooted.
Now i'd like to unroot it back. Anyone could help and provide the detail step i should do? Thank you very much!

2 choices.
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484 best option. Use TWRP to install the B29 bootstack and B29 system. It worked for me.
2. Use the backups you made from the axon7backup.exe - move the files to the same folder you have the axon7root.exe, delete the boot and recovery files there, rename your backup files accordingly, and the axon7root.exe program will flash those files when you run the axon7root.exe program.
I really recommend using option 1. Much easier and quite frankly DrakenFX made it idiotproof.

Thanks so much @tabletalker7. I just noticed this new post. Will try the option 1 for sure. When you did that, did all the data wipe out? If so, would you mind tell me which tool you use to backup the apps? Thanks again.
You do have to wipe data so I assume you lose everything - I have nothing important on the phone storage so I can wipe my phone all I want all I need is my sd card. Don't know of any way to not lose apps, but google did restore everything when I set up the phone on B29.

Something to keep in mind for next time: you cannot apply official OTA updates if you have a modified boot.img (systemless root), modified recovery.img (TWRP), or have modified the /system partition (some root apps do this). You need to be completely stock (sans unlocked bootloader) in order to apply official OTA updates.

Thx, @xtermmin. I'm just switching from iphone to android, need more time to study. Seems it would not easy for me to get the phone unrooted as well, lol
Hello. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (SM-T230NU) and I am having trouble finding a way to root it. I tried using the KingRoot app and it lied and said my device was rooted and all it did was modify system and make itself system administrator. So I had to reset and flash my device to fix it. So right now I am trying to install a custom rom but I need to find a working way to root it first. Does anyone know a method that I can use that works?

YES, THERE IS ROOT FOR SM-T230NU (Samsung Tab 4 7'').
Follow this link (Thanks to the bloger "FlexiSPY" https://blog.flexispy.com/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-4-sm-t230nu/
There's few easy steps to do it:
-Download device USB drivers
-Download Odin
-Download TWRP/SU Tar zip file (all of the above provided in original post)
Flash tar in AP/PDA mode with tablet in download mode
Reboot in Recovery (TWRP)
Select reboot in system and accept installing SU file
Once in System, update/install SU and restart.
Any questions, let me know. Just rooted mine.
