My company is deploying Airwatch and I can't seem to hide root (tried RootCloak and UnWatch via xposed)...I could go back to stock but don't really want to. My device shows up as "compromised" so I can't register it.
I have tried to figure out if there is a good option of a custom ROM that is unrooted. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Has anyone been able to encrypt the N3 after rooting? I can't get it to go and it is mandatory for my work email to be pushed to my phone.\
edit: I've now tried manually using the settings menu. Even after setting a "high security password" it just flashed the android encrypt icon, reboots and then goes right back into the system. I've tried doing "fast encryption" as well and that doesn't work either.
edit 2: If anyone is wondering I didn't get this to work, however, after some searching I was able to find that Touchdown does encryption and will enforce all policies within the touchdown app itself keeping it separate from the rest of the phone. So I'm able to get my work email, not have to encrypt my entire phone, and stay within policy compliance. I just wish touchdown integrated with the stock calendar.... can't win 'em all.

I've noticed this as well. Can't encrypt device when System reports "Custom". Currently it seems the only path to device encryption is restoring un-rooted stock firmware. . . .
This is driving me nuts since I have to encrypt my device do to Coporate net.
encrypt first then root - Don't work
Root first then encrypt- Don't work
can anyone else confirm this ?

im not a dev but have read about this issue from S3 and up and the only positive thing i have seen is that it can be possible when TWRP can be installed it "can" support encryption. i dont think you will find a solution without recovery option.

Confirmed. I've tried repeatedly to root-then-encrypt. All attempts failed. As soon as I un-rooted and rebooted, I was able to encrypt.

After weeks of trying different things.I Finally figured it out!!
First- Encrypt your device, before rooting
Second- Use the Kingoapp Root method, not Root De La Vega. When i used Root De La Vega, it would not work, and I would get the same error as everyone else. http://www.kingoapp.com/# is the link to the kingo root method. Its a One-Click method that took 10 minutes from start to finish. I just downloaded Multi-Window Manager to test the root, and it worked like a charm.
Hi all,
I use my personal phone (specifically a phone that I own) for both home use and work use and I am considering rooting my phone so I can make some changes to the system UI file. I know that one of the checks that the "Device Policy" app checks for is to see if the phone is rooted so I was wondering if anyone has rooted their phone and successfully been able to pass the device policy check? Specifically I am looking to find out if:
1. would something like root cloak work?
2. if root cloak will not work, has anyone rooted the phone, made the changes, and then disable root leaving the phone running un-rooted so that the device policy check still succeeds? (I ask as I do not need permanent root, just access to fix some of the annoyances that come with stock android).
Thanks,
dave
I recently have rooted my s6+ G928C with build number G928CXXS3CQH1.
Everything work fine except for secret mode in Samsung internet that I knew not working with rooted device.
Although, I didn't find anypost that said samsung pass also not working, I just want to ask thak anyway to make
samsung pass working along with root? Thanks in advanced.
Please help me, any custom kernal or way to fix this?
As far as I know it will never work... but you could try magisk hide but dont get your hopes up.
Flash the superuser uninstall zip when you want to use it and reroot when you need root? Or get magisk set up so you pass safetynet
Recently I bought galaxy s8 from Bahrain. After using, come to know the phone is rooted, I am unable to use apps because of rooting error. The phone box says made in veitnam, but the recovery mode show some chinese or korean language.

If Knox is tripped you need magisk hide I think to use it. I don't think you can unrooted anymore. But I'm not sure

Yes the knox, it tripped. Cant I restore it to original stock rom, even if the knox is not reset? I am fine with it. Only want to use an unrooted phone without any problem working with apps. Also, please tell how to use magisk hide. I tried installing it along with Magisk Manager, but installation failed. Please help

Knox not will be reset but you can install custom rom and install Magisk. Magisk options selectable Magisk hide. You want how can you. Go to this thread
If you unroot or use magisk hide you can use all banking apps except samsung pay.
Not able to unroot using odkn, it fails, not able to install magisk, apps still not working. One more question, even if i am able to reset to stock rom somehow, will it make my galaxy s8 dead, sice i bought it in bahrain and using in india.
Help please.
hi guys,
Ive been using stock rom since i purchased this phone.
Thinking of flashing some custom roms. but i have few questions in my mind. Hope you guys can advice me on that.
- Can i use a custom rom without Root ? My interntion is to use banking apps without any problem. Not really interested in in using Magisk to hide the root status.
- i have a manually enabled call recording on my Oneplus6T. Do i get this feature working on any custom rom ?
- I undestand that i need to unlock my bootloader to flash custom roms, so in case if i want to revert back to stock rom in future , will it break any security mechanism of the phone?
Please advise.
- Yes you can run a custom rom without root. You can even lock your bootloader with a custom ROM (WARNING, you can just lock your bootloader, it's a whole process, DO NOT just do this. Research first!). That being said, I would venture to say many banking apps would take issue with custom ROMs even if you aren't rooted. However I don't use them, so I can't say this for certain.
- Yes call recording works in (some) custom ROMs.
- Unlock your bootloader, won't harm anything. You can always go back to stock. If you want to completely go back to stock you should be able to just run the MSMTool and it should put your phone back exactly as it was out of the box. It reloads the stock software, and relocks the bootloader.
