I have a Verizon Galaxy S5. I've always been afraid to root, but I hate TouchWiz and bloatware so much that I had to try. I'm regretting it.
I just used towelroot and tried to install SuperSU, Titanium Backup, and Wanam Xposed. I tried to research as much as I could, but it's still all new to me.
I first tried to install SuperSU. I wasn't totally sure what to do when it said "Try to disable KNOX? - Cancel or OK".
Someone suggested that I tap OK and disable KNOX. The screen has said "Disabling KNOX..." with a spinning circle thing for at least 5 minutes now. After 10+ minutes of waiting, I closed SuperSU. I downloaded Superuser to try it instead (per someone's suggestion). I tapped it and it immediately opened. It didn't ask about installing or anything. I thought it would need to replace the su binary. It feels like I have a messed up mix of half-installed root software.
Now I just want to undo all this and go back to an unrooted phone. Can anyone help me do that?

You can Odin back to stock as mentioned, instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880 - That is something I ran into also, if you just reboot and reopen the SuperSU app it will ask again to disable KNOX and it takes seconds to complete. I'd try that first, unistall the other SU app you tried. You can also unroot using SuperSU once its installed right.
Before Wanam you did install the Xposed framework I'm sure right?
You just need to reboot. It did the same thing to me. Like Floyd says it takes like a second to complete after that.

I eventually opened SuperSU again and it recognized the other superuser. It asked if I wanted to uninstall the other superuser, so I did. At least I'm down to only SuperSU now, and it seems to be doing what it's supposed to.
I'm still trying to figure out whether I can even use a custom recovery on my Verizon S5 at all. I don't want to do that until it is known to be pretty stable. So, would I even want to disable KNOX?

I haven't opened Wanam Xposed. I'm not sure what the Xposed framework is. Is there a set of step-by-step instructions anywhere? It's really disappointing how difficult it has been for me to find solid info. I'm not trying to do anything crazy, I just want to disable as much TouchWiz and bloat as possible.

My best advice for you is to watch videos on YouTube on how to use xsposed installer and also how to use the Titanium backup app to freeze apps you don't want. It would take a long time for someone to post a step by step. All info can be watched on YouTube then if you have questions go ahead and ask.

I watched a few YouTube videos. At this link, the first step is to create a nandroid backup. When I looked up nandroid, it says it needs a custom ROM in order to restore the backup. I thought the point of Xposed was to not need a custom ROM?

That was a good video. I didn't hear him mention "nandroid". I am guessing that by using a new slot and not touching the stock rom slot anymore, that the stock rom slot is considered a nandroid backup, or at least the equivalent.

I need help guys. I'm currently rooted running ParinoiAndroid 3.00 and Franco Kernel #82. I'm trying to download the Good for Enterprise App from the Play Store and install for my work email, but the app won't install becasue of my Root status. Is there a way to hide the root status from this app at all times. I really don't want to unroot my phone.
:fingers-crossed:
Not sure if this will work...
Go to SuperSU -> Settings.
There in Access, give default access as Deny
Then set up the whole Good for Enterprise thing
Then once the setup is done, set default access as Prompt again.

Umm... nothing I can think of right now... If you have a spare device you can unroot that, install it on that device, setup your phone, root it, copy its data from /data/data and then restore it in your Nexus 4 Long shot.

Ok, that's not good. I guess I will need to do more research on unrooting 4.2.2.
And no this is my only device. I have a couple of old Iphones but that won't do me any good. Oh and if I was to unroot it and install the software, wouldn't the device be wiped when I re-root it and flash a custom ROM?

After re-rooting it, backup the data using Titanium. Then flash custom ROM and restore App + data.

I'm not sure if you would know this answer or not, but in an app like Good Enterprise does it normally just search for root status upon initial install or does it look for the root status periodically.
Also, I had plans to unroot using the SuperSU "Full unroot" option or even the Nexus 4 tool kit. Are either one of these methods the unroot techniques you were referring too? I really don't want to brick my device if its unwise to unroot.

I would have tried to check it myself first before suggesting you the solution (I had even downloaded the app) but turns out setting up Good Enterprise requires more than just downloading and installing it. I am not sure if it checks the root status periodically but in this case looks like the only option we have is to hope that it checks only during initiation. However, if the app is any good, I think it will check root status periodically to maintain security (because a lot of app information is compromised on a rooted phone)
Also, I do not think you will brick your phone if u attempt to root 4.2.2. Simply rebooting it in fastboot mode will give you option to revert to stock even in the worst situations. Still, cannot rule out the risk.
Anyway, a simple Google Search revealed this which could be a potential solution
Well thanks for all the info. I'll see what I can figure out.
Un rooting is quite simple , nothing to worry about!
By the way, Good permissions can be set by your administrator. They have the option to allow root, to check every time, Or to check once. It all depends on how your company configures it.

Well, I was able to use nexus 4 toolkit to uproot and relock the boot loader. The app install fine after that and is working properly.
Thanks for the replies. For some reason I was thinking I would have to return the phone back to stock to uproot it, I'm glad I was able to keep my custom ROM and kernel. 1 more question, was re-locking the boot loader necessary or could I have kept it unlocked?
voodoo ota root keeper has a temporary unroot option, grab it from the playstore , much easier than unrooting your phone, also root survives an ota from google. You probably could have left the bootloader unlocked.
easy way ??
An easy way to hide root is renaming the superuser app/apps in the below location.
/system/app
This method did the charm for me for few apps. But the disadvantage is, it will hide root for all apps..

It's really not as big of a deal as you are making it. The way I see it you have 2 choices.
1. Exchange the phone for another (that might do the same thing)
2. Ignore it.
Just like every other Galaxy phone out there (you remember the skyrockets, right?) not all of them react the same way. Some get custom, some do not. Others switch back and forth.
I've noticed you have made many posts about this same thing. If someone hasn't provided a concrete answer that has worked for you by now it just doesn't exist yet. No matter how frustrated you are over it, making new posts about it are not going to change anything.
Its up to you if you keep wanting to post about it (I'm not complaining about it), I just don't think it's going to get you any more information at this point than what already has been said. Maybe I am wrong and someone will tell you exactly what to do to make it "official", but I haven't seen anything yet.
Good luck and try not to let it get to you so much.
euhhh no, they are not about the same thing, one was about retaining officiel while rooted, and now that i've given up on that, i still have a custom status, the reson why i dont report there is becuase poeple have seen the thread and will not go back, so in order to attract new poster i create a new thread. And no, i dont want to ignore anything because i want OTAs. If you have a problem with that, dont answer
You need to re-root (motochopper method) and then using a file browser such as "root explorer" go to:
/System/Xbin
Once you have navigated to the above path, delete these two files:
"su" and " busybox"
Once you've deleted the two files, uninstall SuperSU and reboot your phone twice.
You'll notice that after the second reboot the "custom" will revert back to "official"

I don't believe the current Odin contains a pit...or whatever it is that formats the phone...
So all Odin is going to do is reinstall everything...so replace missing or corrupted files - it will not delete your new files
Formating from the phone itself won't delete everything...its just going to delete your apps, app data, and cache
Therefore doing multiple factory resets and odins likely will not remove all traces of root...someone correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I believe is the case...

AT&T software update push or download will not work for your phone if it is showing custom. People like to be getting these stock updates as soon as they are published by the provider, not when some good heart packages a new ROM using them.

Good info here, I did this procedure as you described, and yes, official is showing, but you can NOT delete su, it will unroot. I just renamed the 2 files, and root was gone. renamed su back, re-installed su superuser, and reboot, root is back with official status.
Thanks.

Good answer, why does it matter if it says custom? whats the big deal here. If you are wanting the update, why not just wait until a dev does what they need to do to it, and flash it later. I updated 1 time in a year on my GS3, and never did it again. When a new rom is developed, it usually is a base from the update...so....

reboot

On second reboot you will notice the Galaxy S4 logo returns and Official Status has returned.
If it has not returned then some other issue is causing the custom status.

EDIT: Ok, so once i was rooted and installed SuperSU and got superuser out, i deleted busybox, i then rebooted ONCE and got official just like that. I also took out SD card because i know this screwed me up last time. I'm happy because i'm rooted and official, but i'm not convinced this will last very long because it has never lasted more than 2 days. I will report back in a few days.

I'm sorry man. Once you reboot into recovery TWRP will give you options. The backup process is fairly easy but could be confusing when it's your first time.

I think I might know what it was. When I flashed Jasmine ROM I hadn't unlocked the bootloader yet. And I just flashed it with flash fire. There was no computer involved after I installed of1 update and rooted the phone. Make a backup and try it again. Make sure you don't have both flash fire and TWRP installed. And that you have super su instead of kingroot.
TWRP
I've got FlashFire and TWRP both on and it seems to be fine. I went into recovery and did a backup with TWRP and it seems fine. I would just like to get a Custom Rom to work on here now. I use to run them all of the time before 4.4.3 came out. I finally got the TB back working and saving but it takes a very long time to run now.

You obviously have never owned a d1 or anything else you could flash a ROM and such with... There is a tread called working vzw ROMs. You really need to figure out how to use twrp recovery not those apps you have. If you installed recovery use it. If not install flashify and choose the recovery for n900 4.4its the top one... Its all in a tread do the work and look.

I've got FlashFire and TWRP both on and it seems to be fine. I went into recovery and did a backup with TWRP and it seems fine. I would just like to get a Custom Rom to work on here now. I use to run them all of the time before 4.4.3 came out. I finally got the TB back working and saving but it takes a very long time to run now.

I'm on CM13, I was rooted and everything. I had SuperSU installed also. But upon realizing that I didn't need it because CM13 had a root permission manager built in, I uninstalled it. Upon rebooting there is now no option to root in developer settings except through ADB and I'm no longer rooted. Is there anyway to fix this without reinstalling the OS and starting from scratch?

You are rooted, CM comes prerooted. Did you turn on the cm root manager in settings?
Additionally, SuperSU is much better than cm manager, you really should use it.

I did have CM root manager and root enabled in developer settings, but then the option went away and my apps are telling me I'm not rooted. I only have the option to enable root through ADB, as seen in the attached screenshot.

1) stop cross posting
2) you have 2 options. Reflash the Rom and hope it fixes whatever you did to bork it. Or install supersu like you should do anyway.

Sorry, I've been desperate.
I'll look to see if there are any new nightlies and flash them or reflash the one I'm on. Reinstalling SuperSU fixed nothing, although it works. A lot of my root apps (ES file explorer, SELinux mode changer) are still telling me I don't have root, although SuperSU granted them root permission.

Did you flash the supersu zip rather than installing through the store? That should work!

I'm not interested in trying to use Android Pay on a rooted device, but would like to use DirecTV Now and Netflix if they check for root. I know DirecTV Now does not work. I tried the app to hide root with no success. Is the only other option to try to go the suhide route? I don't really need root, but I had to add a line to my build.prop to enable hot spot. I would remove root if it meant I didn't have to restore my device losing the build.prop changes.

Why can't you just do a full unroot in SuperSU app?

lol... it is that easy. Open the SuperSU app and go to settings, there is an option for Full Unroot, let it do it's thing and reboot and your good to go.
As always, backup in TWRP first, just in case.
Install Magisk.... I used it to get Android Pay working. There is a Hide Su feature.

I have my original backup before the root. Technically I don't understand how you can make changes to the OS or whatever then remove root on the stock OS.

Flashing Magisk and then installing Magisk Manager was super simple and clean. Magisk's SU option seems to work perfectly find for everything. Tasker has had a little bit of an issue, but its easy to remedy.

I removed root, hotspot still works, and DirecTV Now also works. Now if the DirecTV Now developers would fix the app to autohide onscreen buttons like it used to I'd be all set. At least the Pure's display isn't AMOLED so I don't have to worry about burn-in.
Android and the XDA community are a beautiful thing...lol. Magisk looks great. I will read up on it.

Hmm... I was planning on re-rooting soon, perhaps I will do it with Magisk and update my root tutorial.
I was prepping myself to give up root, especially with some of the newer DNS based ad blockers (not requiring root), the ability to get Android Pay working, etc... but as soon as I saw Magisk, it sort of solved all the problems and meant there really isn't anything you need to be unrooted for that you can't do rooted.

Can you give me an example of one of the newer DNS ad blockers you're using? Other than installing the modified YouTube apk to get rid of ads on that app it's the only thing missing that I want to do. Block ads across the device. Last program I used was adblock on the G Flex 2. Seemed to work well without breaking anything, but I was rooted.

DNS66. Works system wide by redirecting DNS traffic to a VPN that filters out advertisers. It uses some of the same published lists as adaway. I installed it on my kids unrooted moto G4. No complaints, seems to be working as expected with minimal overhead, and no root required.

AdGuard is very good....And I've tried BlockThis which isnt bad. Arter97 patches the YouTube app to remove ads. You can find that on XDA
DNS66 works very well and light on resources. I used it up until I rooted my phone. I have installed it on my wife's phone (she won't let me root) and she loves it. Best part: it's open source and free.

Been keeping an eye on where all the options to root are going. I noticed you're pretty active in the community and have a good guide for traditional supersu rooting. You should definelt update with Magisk method when you can
