Root Loss

so im completely lost. after flashing a new rom yesterday, custumizing i have seem to have "lost root". superuser was working fine and i was doing things that require root. today it just stops working and i cant get root access on anything. i installed a root checker and it says i dont have root. what gives? so i was rooted yesterday and today im magically not rooted? should i just start all over and root my phone again using de la vegas tool? any suggestions to what the problem and solution will be greatly appreciated
by the way this has happened to me on quite number of roms but not to this extent where i literally have no root acess. on the other roms superuser just decided it didnt want to work anymore and i was able to fix it by unistalling it and installing a different superuser. but know i can even uninstall this one since it built into the system and you need root to unistall/delete the apk

Friend of mine just lost root on his Note 3 too. I wanted to show him some program requiring root and he was surprised he had no root anymore. Could be some Samsung silent update?

After you flash you lose root. That's how it is. Unless you use custom ROM that it's rooted by default. If you flashed Stock Rom, just go ahead and root it again.

You may have to reinstall super user and / or make super user a systems app. See screen shot from super user

Apps to stop

Hello
Got my S5 yesterday and I am not rooted (yet) and Ive been wondering if is it safe to "disable" samsung apps and other applications that I will never use without disabling OTA UPDATES
like in the attachment.
If someone can provide a list which contains wich ones are safe to disable without removing OTA updates option that would be great.
Thanks

Just disable it and it will ask u install latest version after pressing OK results disabled. Its better way to, just like removing bloatware. I always do like that.

[Q] How to run an app designed for tablet on note3?

Hi
Can anyone help me to run this app on my note3?
the app name is EF Efekta Corporate, available on tablet play store only.
I downloaded the extracted apk from the internet and install it to my note3 and of course didn't work.
the message i got is : unsupported device, need to have 7 inch or larger display.
I have rooted note 3
stock rom 4.4.2
Help me if there is any solution? xposed, custom rom?
Thank you in advance.
-------------------------------------
UPDATE:
I have tried one xposed module called TabletMetrics!
on this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/27-tabletmetrics-report-screen-7-v2-2-t2596603
but no success after install it! i got same message!

That's odd, I've never had a tablet app tell me it's incompatible when I use the .apk...
It's likely the app itself has a specifications check that does this. If so, there is nothing to be done about it to my knowledge.

Rooting straight talk sm-s820l
Hey guys, I'm new to thread posting but I have some info that might be of some use to this thread. I own a straight talk sm- s820l galaxy core prime, and I've seen a LOT of ppl post that in order to root this phone kingroot is needed. I've personally tried about six different rooting apps and ALL failed. Found a better way and very easy way to root the straight talk galaxy core prime sm-s820l.

There are some bugs in the twrp recovery that really needs fixed. Like 1) cannot If i a partition for mounting partitions. 2) the keyboard is off location. Meaning the top row is fine, the second row, the letters are misplaced by one letter or more. I.E., a is located between a and s, s between s and d, etc. The third row (z-m) is off by two letters. Z is on c and so on. Space bar is the go, or enter button and cannot select go. So cannot change file names and all that. Btw, If there is a better thread for the twrp stuff, let me know and I'll do what is ended to be done. Hope this helps more ppl out! And really hope someone will correct the twrp bugs Cause I do not know how but am leaning and will, eventually, correct the problem myself. For I have no plans of getting a newer phone anytime soon. I do not have the ability to purchase newer more expensive phones so gotta deal with this one. Love it though!

A way to dual boot S7 Edge to run Good for Enterprise?

Here's my situation. I have a stock rooted S7 Edge but I need to use Good for Enterprise and my employer does not allow root on their Good policy. I have toyed with trying to hide it but it doesn't seem that there is a reliable way. My only option appears to be to load another stock rom via dual boot and to run good from that.
Does anyone know if this is possible - I have searched a lot.
Also does anyone know if there's a reliable way to hide root from Good. That would really save me some hassle.

Well im not if it will work but look for old gfe version that support the xposed module that hide root from gfe. There is a thread here in xda on this.

I work IT for a company that uses the new Good Work. I have tried for weeks and lost tons of sleep trying to get that crap to work. I couldn't crack it on my jailbroken iPhone and now the same for this. If you find out a way please let me know...

There may be a way to Dual boot, But it depends if the Dev adds support for our S7.
I used this on my other Galaxy series including the Note 3.

use hide my root mods and apps (especially Xposed Versions)....no app can find you are root...google it
i'm using RootCloak

I'm in a similar boat. My corporation uses Outlook 365 and an app from Microsoft called Company Portal. This app scans for root and other alterations of the system.
I'm also using RootCloak and systemless root and xposed which keeps the Company Portal app happy.
Another option that has worked for me was using systemless root and renaming the "su" binary to something else (and also uninstalling the SuperSu apk). This allows root access from the adb for things like debloating but doesn't allow root apps to work so it's more limiting.
