Well a rooted device is a little harder to get into recovery because of the custom rom. So the default way to factory reset from the recovery menu wouldnt work

@rrraramantiz why the heck did you manage to install xposed utilities withouth even making a backup!
In all descriptions and utilities says that xposed is dangerous and not every device will work properly with it.
Do you at least have access to the Developer options (have you enabled debug USB?)?.
What about Odin on PC?

"device status - Custom" refurbished phone

Hi all
I've upgraded from S4 to s5 today
Bought a refurbished s5 unlocked from eBay (reputable seller)
Rather stupidly I didn't restore factory settings as I assumed seller would (they sell multiple phones so I'm assuming they know what they are doing!!)
Downloaded and updated all my apps and data already.
Then I've gone into settings and notice it says status is "custom". So I get message about custom software and updates won't work etc
I'm not quite sure why this would be the case?
I'm assuming they dont need to root to unlock the phone if it wasn't unlocked already?
Even if they had to root why would they install a custom rom? ?
2 questions:
1) I'm assuming I just need to download stock from sammobile and install using odin????
2) is there anything to worry about/check after buying a refurbished s5? Fingerprint works etc so I'm confident it's a real Samsung phone!
Just a couple of weird things like there is an app in the application manager called Baby crying monitor but there is no app anywhere I can find????!!!!
Any help appreciated.
Make sure cache is not set to "Art". This will cause same issue.

Sorry, not sure what you mean by that? How do I check cashe isn't set to art?
2 other bits got me wondering..
There is knox mentioned in the application manager but there is no app for it (like this crying baby app thing)
also when I try to uninstall apps or try to stop "restarting" apps in "clean master" it says something about needing access and shows a screen shot of SU. Basically telling me I need root access with SU to able to perform those tasks.
Before I rooted my S4 I'm sure I didn't need root to uninstall programs through clean master? ??
I might be wrong but it maybe that a previous owner has rooted the phone and the root has been removed but a full reset not been done?
I dunno. It just feels a bit weird.!!!
As I am "Far from a Jedi", you could try using "phone info samsung". It is on the google play store. Will give you info about your phone to check.
Failing that, I would suggest a factory reset to return to a known starting point.
I know it will involve setting up your phone again, at least you will know for certain.
Hope this helps...

Have you thought about contacting the seller and saying I want a different phone or money off as this shows custom, has Knox flag been tripped in the download menu? From power off hold vol down + power + home.
Thanks to all replies!
So a factory reset has got it cleaned up.
I've used the app mentioned in previous post and everything is legit.
Knox is at 0.0
It still says Custom though but considering everything is legit I'm not too fussed
Would like to know why it says custom though!!???
Unrelated question (didn't want to hog posts by creating a new one....)
I've been using clean master on my s4 and I was using between 35-50% of ram.
On my s5 I'm running consistantly at a lot higher ram I'm having to boost frequently during the day
Is it because the s5 just uses more ram or is it related to the fact I was rooted on the s4 and debloated a tonne of c**p? ????
(The ram is well over 1gb most of the time. Even when I boost it only goes to about 50%)
I don't get lag or slowness but as a bit OCD I want lower!!!)
Any ideas why it's so high?
Its normal, IDK why. I'm running AICP and even I've never seen my ram usage dip below 1.2GB, it was 1.4GB on the Sammy rom.
Annoyingly I've now reinstalled all apps and folder etc (after factory reset)to find out that certain apps won't work because it says my phone is rooted.
Is my only option now to try reinstall software through kies ??

if your knox is 0x0 your varanty is fine. well u can use xblast xposed tools to change the custom to official. after this u can receive updates on your phone. if u don't want to keep your phone rooted after update phone is going to be unrooted if u want to keep it buy su pro and tick on survival mode.

Phone Lags after root and Greenify Problem

I just rooted my N910C and i noticed it lags? i try to install Greenify and also it lags sometimes it wont even ask for SuperSU access and i tried turning off the power saving and even if its off the icon on status bar is still there. another thing is that when i install greenify i can't un install it normally i tried on google store and the only option is Deactivate. i tried uninstalling it via "Drag icon and drag to the trash can icon" and it says that i need to disable the administrator access and i tried unchecking it but it lags. so what i did was uninstall it via titanium back up and it worked. but still my phone lags any suggestion?
another problem is that my computer does not detect my phone anymore? but when i plug it in it charges and the "windows notification sound" knowing that it detects a device being plugged but i cant see it on my computer so i cant access the Internal storage
update*
so i tried inserting my phone to another PC to make sure and the drivers installs but when installing the MTP device it fails
please i need help i know the root process triggered knox so warranty is already voided
Mine too.. I rooted my stock rom, noticed lag on almost everything, typing, browsing, opening apps, settings... no idea why...then i installed custom rom..!

i tried paring a bluetooth from my Nvidia Shield and it even lags.. the notification with the Pin code is Soooooo delay so i cant pair properly example on my shield i tried to pair the Note 4 shield will show a pairing confirmation with pin code and on the tablet it wont until around 1minute

in that case, download the correct firmware from sammobile.com, i.e. according to your region / carrier.
Thanks everything is back to normal and lag was gone. but root was also gone im afraid to root again the lag might come back =(

I don't know if your Note 4 version is the same with mine (Mine is N910H), mine is rooted + greenify but I experience a little to no lag.
Bluetooth pairing in an instant.
Apps open in an instant.
Buttons response in also quick.
Perhaps background process or some rogue apps do the lag?

Yes iv'e tried slimming down to know the problem so what i did was
1) flash stock firmware (status ok)
2) root my device (status ok)
3) install greenify, six axis & some adblocker (status ok)
4) install xposed (status ok)
5) install xposed binaries and update (status phone lags)
6) uninstall xpoesed binaries amd updates (status ok)
Just do a search here; S-health app and Private mode interferes with xposed (or is it the other way around?) There are some settings you can change (disable secure storage in build.prop) that will get rid of the lag caused by xposed.
I concur that it is the exposed framework that is the culprit. It doesn't work well on samsung kitkat phones but only CM and AOSP. It will even ruin your private mode! So as for convinience I don't install it on Sammy phones

Greenify problem J500FN Lollipop

Hello, I always used Greenify in my devices, but with J5 I've a big problem, I'm not able to use it anymore. I don't have root and I don't want to use it, so I use Greenify non-root mode. It worked for 2 days, but then it has stopped working. The app asked me to activate it in accessibility settings, but when I do it there's a message that says "Settings has stopped working". I can't hibernate apps anymore, and I don't want to root my phone. I'm on Samsung Stock lollipop and I already tried a data factory reset, I also flashed last firmware with odin, nothing to do. In Marshmallow there isn't this problem but I don't want to upgrade, I also tried to clear data and chache or to uninstall Greenify. Is there a fix? Help!

You need to install a TTS, like GoogleTTS. Then choose GoogleTTS at language settings if i remember properly and then the problem is gone. I had same problem in past, and after i googled, i got this answer which solved my problem.
Im not sure, but i think Greenfy does slow down the phone over time. I always used it, even now, but ill check about this on google sometime.

You don't need root lol. Just check Google Play for Google TTS and install it, or download it from apkmirror if you don't have gapps. Then put it on in settings like I told you in my previous post.

Looking for a possibility to hide root

Hey guys,
I am looking for a way to hide root, because I want to use the app "SEQR". I flashed the Superman Rom Nougat. I tried to hide magdisk with the build in tool, this didnt work. I also tried to uninstall root with their provided uninstall zip, but this also failed. The app says, my device is rooted. So have anyone a idea to have a possibility to have a rom with temporality root, it's no problem to uninstall root every time when I need it.
Thank you
Noone any ideas?
I saw someone mention the superman rom
I think the best way to hide it is using lastest Magisk with MagiskHide enabled in Magisk settings
I'll bump the thread if that's ok.
Also want to use SEQR with root if possible.
Tried the hide magisk in the meny and that did not work. Is there anything else to do?

try clearing cache & dalvik after flashing magisk. then make sure magiskhide is enabled and your app is selected.
running fine here.
For me it works partly App starts added in the MagiskHide list but the App dont want to activate the Tap&Pay Feature already 2 hours left and still not activated. Already cleared Cache&Dalvik nope
Maybe someone knows a workaround
xposed rootcloack module does not work either
found this thread and got excited I could get an answer

Rooting Galaxy s7 edge (SM-G935F) nougat causes black camera with crash.

Hi!
I rooted my galaxy s7 edge that had stock version of android 7 (nougat) on it using this tutorial: http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-root-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-on-nougat-g935fxxu1dplt/. Now when I open built-in camera app it shows me a black screen for few seconds and then it says "Camera has stopped" and it offers me to "Open app again" and "send feedback" And it keeps happening over and over again.
Lemma: The reason is rooting.
Proof: Camera app worked perfectly. After I rooted my phone it started to crash like I described above. Then I tried to force quit camera app and delete it's cache/data. It did not help. After that I wiped entire cache partition. Still no help. After that I wiped all partitions except system. That did not work either. Then I re-flashed unmodified original stock ROM. Then camera worked perfectly again. Then again I rooted my phone the using tutorial I linked above. And again exactly the same issue. Camera app show black screen for few seconds and then crashes with exact same error message. ∎
Does anyone know fix for that? And why it happens? Is it some kind of samsung's anti-root thing that prevent camera fromworking on rooted phones or what?
Update [SOLUTION]:
In case someone else has same problem.
My solution was to skip restarts in TWRP steps. No restart between format and installing packages. Restart once when everything in TWRP part is done.
Root doesn't break your camera

I have done nothing else than rooting. I have not added any custom mods or anything. For me it starts working again every time I flash original stock rom and shows that black screen and gives error every time I root it.
I downloaded original firmware from here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/ (I chose baltic (only 1 occurrence in the table))
Maybe that specific tutorial I linked is bad one? Could anyone check that?
Rooted my G935F and no problems here for me.
I suggest you follow the tutorial here on xda and try again.
Could you post link to tutorial please? Then I could be sure I used the same tutorial as you did.
PS! Now I also noticed that with rooting I lost auto brightness adjusting and also manually changing brightness didnt do anything. Right now I am back on un-rooted rom because I need camera functionality to work. But would love to get it rooted. Is there any info on cf-auto-root and android 7 yet?

A simple search here you'll find all you need. You are the only person I've ever read of that had camera problems like you've stated after Root. Again rooting won't break your camera.
I've Odin to stock literally hundreds of times testing Rom/Mods/themes as a tester for several teams from my s3 up to and including my G935F.
I've also flashed every Rom available for the G935F and the only ones with camera problems are the Lineage or AOSP Roms which more than likely are kernel related. Start here https://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81

Also, posting some specific link rather than general starting point would help to guarantee that I use right tutorial for rooting. From these links you posted I didnt find any specific tutorial. I did search and dig these links, but I didnt find any specific tutorials. All I found was some tools and some roms. But cf-auto-root works for android 6 but I have 7 on my phone so I cant use that and I did not find any rooting tutorials on this forums.

Ok here is what you need to do.
Download a logcat app and get a logcat of it forceclosing.
I can't magically look in your device and see what, if anything is wrong.
As far as you saying you've searched well if you really did you would've found several tutorials.
How do I know?? Because I've used them myself.
It took me less than 5 minutes to root my new G935F using the TWRP Guide here on XDA
You seem to be the only one in hundreds that's claiming root broke your camera.
Provide a logcat in the Q&A and maybe a dev can help you.

Same issue on smg935w8 lost camera and screen brightness. Also can't mount micro sd... we're you able to fix? I thought it was a bad root then I re flashed and the issue came back...twrp 3.1.0 supersu 2.79 and no verity 5.1
---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------
im re flashing stock and tomorrow ill redo twrp and super su and skip dm verity patch think that might be the issue as it worked before for me last week and i then messed up by turning dev mode off and disabling oem and when i reflashed after that i have been flashing the dm verity patch....
give that a try if your still having issues
had similar issue, my camera app keeps crashing, i went to settings, applications then cleared cache after stopping it, i hope that will fix your camera too

Thanks I've tried clearing cache for everything no luck. I originally thought it was because I might have deleted a system app with titanium but when I reflashed it all (firmware,tarp,supersu,no small verity disable 5.1) I still had the issue.
Lastnight I wiped and flashed the entire firmware. Everything works. Tonight I'm goi g to try and only flash twrp then supersu as I only want root. Hopefully that fixes my issues.
OP have your issues been resolved?
I'll let you know once I get it working on mine and we'll get you sorted out. I believe it's something with the steps or order as I had root fine for a day then had to reflash due to messing around and didn't do it my original way and that caused my issues.
flashed twrp 3.1.0 from odin with auto reboot off.
then booted to twrp. swiped right to mount system,
wipe data(format data) type yes.
mount microsd as mtp copy supersu 2.79 over if its not already on you microsd card.
else just install it from zip
cleared cache/delvik
rebooted to system
log in and setup everything and restore
camera and auto brightness...stilll doesnt work.
ok so after multiple tries to fix this (flash stock) everything works,, root and it breaks tried clearing all cache in system and twrp no difference... then i loaded phone info and used the secret codes to find out that my camera firmware is not installed....so im trying Flashfire to reflash the AP only while injecting supersu and maintaining root.... it is just booting up.....and OMG!!!!it works!!!!
so....for some reason...firmware was corrupting..... no clue why tired multiple methods and nothing... and im not a noob either.....
what finallllllllly worked was.... flash your rom and get root how you would normally. camera/auto brightness/and mounting usb doesnt work....boot to twrp. get your ap md5 file on your internal storage
reboot to system,. get flashfire from playstore or chainfires website
install and then click the + select firmware and select the tar file
only install system....uncheck boot and cp
then in the everroot select injject supersu, preserve recovery
and flash.... it will start flshing and boot to syteem once done..
everything is working nice
finalllyyyy!!!!
hope this can atleast help OP
no clue why i was losing firmware on the flashes
@unit68 Tnx for sharing. This time I got camera and brightness adjustment work out of box. But if in any point of time I happen to need your tutorial, I'll give it a try and let you know.
I am not sure if it is by chance or not but what I did differently this time was:
1) I paid attention to step where it asked to disable auto reboot (can anyone explain why?)
Previously I thought it shouldnt matter so I kept auto reboot for convenience.
2) I did format data, install no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.0 and SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815 and wipe dalvik cache with out rebooting between (Anyone know if that matters?).
Previously I had done it: format - reboot - install no enc - wipe dalvik cache- reboot - install super su - wipe dalvik cache - reboot .
Now I did it format - intall no enc - install super su - wipe dalvik cache - reboot.
I'll see for few days if anything else comes up or if camera breaks down again. Btw @unit68 what happens when you try some bloatware remover that run with root access? Do you get rid of bloatware or not? I tried few of them such as no bloat for example. Some complain that uninstall failed some seem to uninstall the app but when they reload app the app is still there and it's also still in app menu. Just curious if you have the same same issue. And is it safe to delete apk file manually? Or would it cause phone to crash/boot loop? When I ran supersu it complained about knox and asked me to disable it but it never managed to (however root checker tells me I am root). Maybe knox is protecting bloatware? Any ideas?
Flash your able too get it working! It was soooo frustrating. So for Knox supersu asks to disable then seems to hang so I go about my business reopen supersu it'll ask again and then is successful.
To remove bloat I normally just go to titanium and remove the ones I don't want
No issues on that and all my apps that require root work fine (titanium,adaway, flashfire)
This time disabling knox worked too... It turned out that all 3 apps that I used were note able to remove bloatware. App you named worked and also ROM toolbox lite works.
Btw when I google bloatware, the lists are incomplete.... Do you happen to know list of apps that must not be uninstalled? I guess white list would be better idea than black list.
Is installing/uninstalling app same as removing/adding apk files? So that I could cut and paste everything expect file manager and launcher to usb memory stick and then start adding required apps back one by one?
ive seen some samsung debloating software around. i honestly just remove stuff based on manually debloating for last fewyears. if i dont know what theapp is for i google it to see if its ok to remove. normally i remove samsung knox, few other samsung apps, some google apps (music, games, videio), briefings some edge panels, live wallpaper, and carrier branding apps(for me rogers) stuff like that. if you are going to i recommend you do a backup first as it ccan mess up your phone if you uninstall an important app. . also once your do uninstall you need to reboot ... the paid version of titanium allows you to freeze applications so you can try that first before removing it.
I had the exact same issues: camera crashing, blue light filter not working, brightness not working, etc. It was supersu. You need the right version of supersu, it's 2.79 SR0. It's checksum is f4ecbf5814215bf569ff3324fc1c91f5

Interesting..ill check that if I need to to Flash. I have 2.79 but maybe I grabbed an old version or a beta. Mine says 20161205 I think it may have been sr3
Edit _ just checked I grabbed sr0 the stable release from 20161215 not the sr3 beta
Maybe it was corrupt when I flashed
