Hi Guys,
I rooted my Samsung S4 (GT-9505) using motochopper, but since discovered some of my apps don't work with a rooted device.
I would like to unroot it back to factory settings.
What do I need to do? Is it a case of downloading an official ROM and using ODIN to flash the official bios back on?
I have reset the counter with TRIANGLE but my device status is still 'custom' and not official.
Is there a simple way of removing the root that motochopper adds or is an official ROM the only way?
Im in the UK and would like to flash to the latest Vodafone ROM and unrooted as new.
Many thanks
First of all, there's no app that would stop working because of a rooted device. Rooting just gains you administrator privileges, nothing more, nothing less. And yes, the best way to unroot and get the official status back is to download and flash an official rom through Odin.

Many thanks for your reply,
Unfortunatly your wrong there, Barclays PingIt (my bank account) knows when a phone has been rooted and displays an error page saying its breaching security and stops the app from working!! Crazy I know.
You can uninstall super su then reboot the phone.
You can get instructions from the Exynos Abuse thread by chainfire. It's at the bottom.

Hello there
I found that flixster wouldn't stream ultraviolet movies with root. I did find that using voodoo ota root keeper from play store helps that. Click on temp unroot, then when you've finished using that app that doesn't allow root, restore root. Unsure that this will work for you, but no harm in trying.

SM-N900R4? Strange. If you download Wanam Xposed and Install the Xposed Installer, you can change your System Status to Official, and then set SuperSU to Survival Mode when updating to see if you can save root on OTA. If not, you'll just lose root, but be updated.

You've already tripped your Knox counter, there is no way of re-sitting this currently so no need for Kingo.
Upgrade to 4.4.2 using the various listen methods on Odin, the use CF-Root. It's the safest, it trips knox but since you already have this is irrelevant.
Do u kmow where I can find the official 4.4 for us cellular that I can flab using Odin

Reroot. But as your device is not really universally supported, you will have to find a way to root on the new firmware.

hi guys,
Since there are loads of posts about roots and after whole day of searching i didnt find any satisfactory answer, half of them says one thing another half says something else, therefore i would like to ask you for help.
Im user of note 3 sm-n9005 unbranded with kitkat 4.4.2 n9005xxuenb1. official knox 0x0 and no root yet.
My question is simple, is there way to root my note 3 without wiping, flashing custom roms, triggering knox and still be able to receive ota updates? just simply add root?
thx in advance.

if you root you wont get OTA anymore.
I used cf-root on my galaxy s4 and note 3 n9005 4.3 and got sucessful.
Cf root will trip your knox and phone will be left without warranty.

if you have root, you can install wanam xposed and fake system status to offical. After that you can OTA.

Can download yes, but install no, to install you have to unroot or go through a different method to install.

Well there is a way to do it, not 100% sure myself as I never done it, but it can be done (with MOP Afaik) - but yes, a full flash via Odin will preserve KNOX status
Unfortunately that ship hasn't just sailed but is over the horizon, hit an iceberg and sunk....
You needed to be on JB firmware, pre MJ3 to root without tripping Knox and then update using MOP to flash KK. You then needed to flash the KK bootloader with PC ODIN. This would retain root and leave Knox untouched allowing OTA. Root would be lost as soon as the OTA happened but you could download and flash again with MOP retaining root...
You can't root your phone now without tripping Knox...
If you do decide to, the best bet is cf-autoroot with PC ODIN.
I'm going to say again - NOTHING at this time will allow you to root without tripping Knox....
okay so i dont care now bout triggering knox. so my question is if its possible to root my note keeping actual fw and being able to update and install ota.
hm?
today i have received and installed n9005xxuenc2 and there was another 4 bloatware apps. i moved them to blocked apps. but still want to remove them which is possible only with root...

If you delete system files the OTA will not install in 3rd recovery ☺ Dont think for 3rd party apps as in tour screenshots.

Hi
I need a software for android system that able prints documents , pic ,.... from mobile to remove printers directly.
So I saw an update for "performance improvements" (~200MB) on my rooted 900F. I unrooted and updated. No problem. Once I reboot there is a second update ~1.2MB. I installed that and rebooted, tried to run towelroot and it says device not supported. Tried a few different modstring values including the temp root and none of them work.
Moral of the story; don't update if you want to towelroot.

Hard to say, it doesn't seem much different but I've only had it installed a couple of hours and not used the phone too much yet.
I can tell you, however that it adds more bloat! There is at least one new app I noticed called "My Galaxy"
EDIT: Also, they've changed the animation for fingerprint unlock failure to some horrible alarming flashing red/white thing instead of the subtle one it was before.

A kernel patch for Towelroot was te be expected. Use CF Auto Root or wait for Geohot for an possible updated version of TR to get root again..

I'll wait. The reason I used towel root in the first place was not to trip knox.
It was just a headsup for those who might care more than I do.

Because I'm an software engineer and I know exactly what I'm doing by rooting.
Denying root with this knox and other bull***, locked bootloaders, etc, is totally unacceptable to me.
I refuse to lose warranty for some hardware fault that might occur (and I've had many issues over the years and dozens of phones) on something I own because I got "root" access.
I dare someone to tell me that I've lost warranty on my laptop because I installed CentOS, logged in as root and twiddled with my bootloader.
It's entirely and utterly a matter of principle.
Don't expect you to agree, just helping you to "understand".

Quite simple, when you see the ota, remove ALL changes yiu nade to system (e.g. adblock hosts file)unroot from within SuperSU, then reboot then accept the OTA.
Bare in mind if you do this, there is currently no way to root again without knox trip

Hey XDA community. I recently got a Galaxy Note 3 Verizon and have been having some issues. Randomly my phone will freeze then reboot. It's typically when playing games that are graphic intensive. I cleared the cache, done 2 factory reset, and uninstalled and reinstalled all apps giving me issues. It seems to be doing better now but it recently froze while browsing chrome. I was wondering if this was a known issue and how other people fixed it. I read somewhere that I should root and rom my phone since the factory firmware caused a problem with someone else. So any tips or thoughts would greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Ok so next question then. I am planning on maybe sending it to samsung for the factory warranty. I would like to try roming it first to see if that fixes it, but not if they are going to be able to tell and void the warranty. So is the reversal process possible on this phone so that they will never know it was rooted? Or is there a counter that they will be able to see?

If the previous owner rooted it properly he/she shouldn't have tripped knox. If you'd like to check put your phone in download mode and check. Power off phone then restart holding power, vol down and home. If you'd like to to restore and send it in then you'd use Odin to restore with the files here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47400062&postcount=1 as long as you're on MJE use the MJE factory tar file. Make sure you use retail if you're on a retail phone or you'll possibly brick it. If you decide to upgrade use the NC2 method and if it continues to act up you can go to stock with the MJE version just to keep it simple.
Ok so I checked and it says Knox 0x0. I am assuming that means it hasn't been tripped. Now is there a root method that will avoid tripping Knox?
