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.

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
Hi everyone guys, my nickname is AndresPiggy but you cal call me just Piggy as my friends!! :cyclops:
My problem is this:
I used to have my phone perfectly rooted with chainsfire(SuperSU)!! But... A time ago, I installed KingRoot accidentally and the apk started to install the root, after the root instalation failed, the Superuser(Apk from KingRoot) of KingRoot was there in my phone installed and that ruined the root on my phone, I tried to eliminate it but I can not, then, the SuperSU started having problems manage the aplications that need root access, after that I verify my root in my root checker and it said "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device".
"Root Checker App" : i66.tinypic.com/2re79n9.png
All these after I installed accidentally the KingRoot... After all this mess, I made a reset factory, but saddly, the Superuser was still there, and the SuperSU too. Now I dont know what to do I and searching help from you guys. :crying:
Searching more information from another apps I saw this:
"Simply Unroot App": i66.tinypic.com/ht5khv.jpg
"Unroot My Phone App": i68.tinypic.com/10ng7sp.jpg
"Superuser App" By ChainsDD: i63.tinypic.com/25gqc1w.png
I hope those pics help :good: Now I have the Kingo SuperUser deactivate it, and thats another thing, when I wanna install the bin of SuperSu, its failed, I tried by teh 2 ways and failed.
What Can I Do?
Hi Piggy! (As your friends call you)
The only thing I could think of in this case is to flash the stock firmware again. (Will cause a full wipe of the device though, so make sure you back up your stuff!). Unless your problem is solved by now of course.

Just like @RealFreddyBananas said. Flash a new stock firmware via odin. Then you can root your device again.
Pretty much the title. I've used the newish method. Using the engineer eng_usa AP. I've used the original supersu download that floating around. And also the one that's from aole..something? I forget what it's called.. it was on page 664 or something of some verison s7 thread. No idea where it is now.. needless to say in both adb supersu commands, I get it to work, it roots. But continuously loses root after a few hours, if that. It tells me to update the binaries and the only way that I can find to fix to get root to work again, is a complete reinstall process of the original stock, then modified Ap, the adb su command. I'm so tired of this. Please, why is it losing root? I've reinstalled this b.s. so many times. The only thing I can narrow it down to is (probably nothing) the very last thing I did was change my theme and icons though the Samsung store. Why does it keep losing root? I'm using 7.0 N
Hi!
I have issue with app on my S7 Edge that demands me to unroot. I rooted my phone 5 years ago or more and I don't remember a thing about it. I did this to permanently remove bloatware. Only way I know to unroot is to flash stock-rom again but I don't want to loose my hard effort on debloating + data and so on. Is there any tricks for that? Like hide/remove su binary? I really don't remember where to start. Also with factory reset or something I cant remember I lost root access partially - that is apps can still tell that phone is rooted (root checker tells that root access is available but then also orange warning that root access is not properly installed on this device). But they can't request root privilege for some reason. But I still have this custom recovery rom installed where I have basically root access to phone - do you think I could use this to somehow hide temporarily root from my app that is complaining about it and then later restore root to the full - that is to make apps able to request root access again? I would like to keep my apps/data and I remember them getting lost in process of rooting due to some samsung encryption crap - not sure how to check data/app loss would be case now since I did it so long time ago. Could anyone help me out?
For documentation purposes. So in my case I had lost root with factory reset. I had to boot into TWRP and re-flash super su. Difference from official tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ial-twrp-for-galaxy-s7-edge-hero2lte.3334084/ was that in step 9 my phone did not complain about dm-verity,. I did not have to disable encryption and I did not loose my data. Someone may correct me but it was because I had already rooted in past and the most likely cause for "loosing" root was doing factory reset. PS I have european model so I am not sure how much it makes this tutorial different.
Now what is left to do is come up with ideas how to hide root from 1 specific app in Android 7.
