I after days of trying have, according to root checker, rooted my verizon s5. Now File Explorer still does not recognize root priveledges. I want the verizon stuff gone and the sim unknown gone from the notification. Please some hold my hand till this is fixed. Keep in mind this is my first ever attempt to do anything on a phone. Initial issue was switching from verizon to at&t. rooted with towelroot and checked with root checker it says im rooted. now what?

If you are talking about stock file manager app, it does support root elevation, use another file manager that supports root (ie ES File Explorer or Root explorer or whatever, they all do more or less the same). Please note that root mode doesn't come turned on by default, you'll have to dig on the setting of the app that you have chosen and find out how to turn it on

Hey all-
I'm having some serious issues with my Spica, including it shutting off during calls, randomly changing settings without me prompting it.
I had previously attempted to root it using z4root because I don't feel totally comfortable messing with Odin. The problem is that z4root changed my Kernel version in my settings to 2.6.29 root sep-57 #2
but the phone isn't actually rooted and never was. superuser wasn't installed, and apps that need root don't recognize my phone.
when i go back into z4root, there is supposed to be an unroot option, but because the phone isn't actually rooted, the only option is root, which would just attempt the process again and call it successful when it isn't.
i want to at least try getting my phone unrooted before i give up on it.
thanks for any advice.
I also forgot to add the worst problem:
My lock screen no longer activates, at all. I have no more lock on my phone.
I want to Root again, but cannot find the directions. I used Kingo one click last time. I tried SRSsimple root, and it says it works. But I have SuperSU, NoBloat and Wanam Xposed installed and when i try and open them I get a message that I do not have root access.
Yes i am not very techinical and that is why I did the one click root last time. I went back to Kingo and it did not work and said not supported.
Phone is SCH-1545
Baseband version 1545VRUFNC5
Build # DOT49H.1545VRUFNC5.
Help please!!!
I have rooted my phone with CF AUTO ROOT on the J4 firmware
the access is granted but apps can't make a use of it, it looks like a read only access
I am trying to edit my build.prop with build.prop editor - app asked for root access but edits are not saved
any idea ?
thanks
Mine ok
even if it seems to be saved after reboot it is back to the original state
Its strange my friend mine the same j4 and the root was fine .
It seems to be ok now, but the root grant is delayed by some random period of time, lets say if i run app requiring root for the first time there is no super user prompt for a good while 20-40 sec
so still not perfect and it make me wondering what is wrong
Update supersu app and binaries. It seemed to work for me. I had similar issues.
So hi all, this is my first post on XDA. Finding information these days you think would be easy but alas it's been one big waiting game.
A little background, I've wanted for the longest time to link my ps3 controller (WIRELESSLY) to my s4, but Verizon forced an upgrade to Lollipop, I hate it and it's been a nightmare for me.
I learned I would have to be root to get the controller to work wirelessly, but I wanted root access for other reasons well such as bloatware removal and interface customization.
So I've been skulking around forums like a hawk, finally I found king root but it wouldn't root my phone and I wasn't about to install it on my PC, too risky... so I waited and waited and waited.
several months pass...
New update for King root will now work to root my phone, and I was able to replace it with super-sume, root checker showed I was rooted and Bazinga! Off I was at last. I removed a couple pieces of bloatware but before I continued I thought it might be wise to reboot the phone while rooted to make sure everything is kosher.
Phone comes back up, no problems. but now ROOT ACCESS IS GONE. I read up and discovered that in some cases the boot-loader will unroot the phone everytime you reboot. I don't want to have to re-root my phone over and over again, that's a pain in the arse.
I read up on some laws felt confident if I called Verizon they wouldn't be able to give me a hard-time, I just wanted to know how to disable the boot-loader locking things up.
I ended up with tier two, who they stated all their 4G devices are unlocked... when I got into the nitty gritty regarding the bootloader the techs I spoke with were lost.
I just want to be able to root my phone and KEEP root. I wish I had Kit-Kat because this wouldn't even be an issue but I don't. Can anyone help? I'm so sick of this crap.
HALP PLZ :crying: :crying:
Another small caveat I should mention, when I reboot my phone, it has an unlocked padlock but root checker states that root access in no longer properly installed and I can't do anything that I'd be able to do rooted either. Before the reboot, root was showing as properly installed.
Wrong forum, there is a Verizon subsection.
Verizon phones are all unlocked...... meaning you can insert whatever SIM card you feel like putting into it.
The bootloader, however, is locked. It will remain locked and it's more than likely never going to be unlocked. Write access is dependent on an unlocked bootloader. The security checks are set up as such that if you attempt to alter the system files, they'll just all return to normal on a reboot.
You can use a temp root method on Android 4.4, but as you figured out.... when you reboot, Bye Bye Root!
There is not, nor has there been, nor will there be a bootloader unlock unless somebody cracks Samsung's encryption keys. You have a better chance of winning the Powerball jackpot than doing that.
Use CF root if you wanna perm and thing solved..
I have a 3 year old galaxy s7 edge. And recently i tried to root it, and i think i didn't succeed in that completely. Because with root checker my device shows its rooted. But my supersu got disappeared after couple of hours. And i tried to install other root managers (king root) but now i cannot get root access to any apps.
My device is still rooted as per root checker. What should i do now? How can I unroot the device?
Which rom are you running?
And is a custom recovery installed on your phone?
Ultimately you want to unroot your phone?
Just want to do some banking
Stock android 8.0. And i haven't installed any custom recovery either. This is not my daily driver. This was my brother's old phone. So i haven'tdone any thing interesting to this device. I was simply using this for a second sim card only. Now i want to do some banking transactions from this phone and those apps doesnt let me from a rooted device. Is there an easy way to unroot this? Or an easy way to hide the root for the apps to work?
