Hi xda!
I have rooted my J5 (2015 6.0.1 Stock) with SuperSU flashed with recovery (SU binary installed in /su/bin/su) and i want unroot
how i can do a unroot?
There are any problems if I already have installed busybox in /su/xbin/ (/su/xbin/busybox) ?
regards.
There's a "full unroot" option in supersu settings or you can just reflash the stock boot.img with twrp recovery
The only way you can remove root is by flashing stock firmware using odin, and it is the most easiest, note, you can not hide that you have rooted your phone since knox is e fused, which means once you root, no matter what you do, it will always stay 0x1
@jam66 you should install stock only if you care of stock and your warranty but if you don't mind about TouchWiz you're fine with SuperSu uninstall options.

First of all, what is the reason you want to unroot?
Most of the people that want to unroot is because they want to take phone to the service, and they need to have phone status 'official' and you can only achieve that by flashing stock rom..
Edit: YOU DON'T NEED TO RECONFIGURE YOUR APPS, YOU DON'T LOSE DATA WHEN FLASHING SAME ANDROID VERSION USING ODIN

when you say "reflash the stock boot.img" you mean restore a nandroid backup from a backup made by twrp ??? or a boot.img downloaded from somewhere?

Flash stock rom, this way you will fully unroot your phone and you won't lose any data, after that just install magisk and done, easiest way

Let me see if i understand to you. that mean i can flash for example this 2Gb .tar.md5 file i will have the same stock rom without root and all my config and data intact?
I personally did this way:
Uninstall root totally from SuperSu app itself.
Let BusyBox as is.
Flash the original boot.img of the rom with TWRP.
And then you can flash Magisk or Phh SuperUser choose what you prefer.
You go to Play Store and install BusyBox Stericson app to manage BusyBox and you're done. It's unnecessary flash the rom , but you can choose if you still prefer.

When you're in TWRP there two options flash zip and flash image.
You choose image, so TWRP "ask" you if it will be for boot or recovery. You will choose boot and then swipe to flash and you're done . That's is all.

@jam66 After you uninstall root completely from device you need boot.img because when installing SuperSu it patches the kernel. So to avoid problems with it, it's preferable to flash the "virgin" boot.img of the rom you're using. This way you will get a clean flash with the Superuser zip of your choice.

mmm it make sense...
now i'm thinking, where i find a appropriate boot.img file for flash in my phone?
looking inside /data folder, i found a compressed backup of stock boot.img created the same day i rooted my phone with supersu using twrp. this file might work for flash with twrp as you suggest?
When I flashed TWRP on my J500m the first thing I did was a fresh backup of my system. So I would pick the boot.img of this backup. After that I proceed rooting my phone. SuperSu makes backup of img when getting systemless root. You can try with that img it's supposed to be backup of original personally I never have troubles dealing with it because of the first nandroid backup never need to pick that img.

Trust me, I've done it without root. I had xposed installed before with root then I flashed the latest stock rom from n915w8 and flashed xposed right after without wiping data and it worked. I guess it was because the xposed modules were already configured but ultimately, I did not root in order to use xposed. The functionality of xposed is increased if you root. This is from my experience
The latest xposed for Samsung probably has some loop hole I'm unaware of that allows you to install it without root.

the boot-loader is not unlocked for n915a currently, how can we install twrp? or you mean install supersu by odin without twrp?
step 2... Install latest twrp... How can you do that if your phone has never been rooted before?
for my note edge sprint (915p) i used CWM cos twrp didnt work. after flashing supersu said i dont have root access and if i would like to have it. I SELECTED NO. after rebooting once phone booted fine. took a while for supersu to take over things and now its all good

Do you by any chance have the latest twrp (2.8.0.7) in .tar file? I've been lurking around for a while now and I'm not able to find it. I can only find .img and I need Linux to convert it to .tar to be able to Odin. I've lost root and now I can't get it back.

ok now that ive spent more time with it i believe the root i got is incomplete. on many apps supersu dialogue doesnt pop and they dont recognize the phone as rooted. i used titanium backup to try and remove system apps and despite everything going fine the apps didnt go anywhere
UPDATE: problem fixed. I edited the build.prop in /system/ using a build.prop editor and now all my apps are asking for root
In build.prop look for ro.securestorage.support=True and set it to False
Also solves if your phone keeps forgetting the wifi passwords
It works. SM-915F. Just don't forget to off 'reactivation lock' in security tab in androud in order to install TWRP successfuly. Thanks a lot!
No you're right. Twrp is in img format but you can easily convert it to tar using a linux emulator. Took me minutes to convert it to tar. Google "how to convert img to tar. Running twrp fine
Does it work in 915V ??
So,it's strange how the method works on my 915f. For example; Titanium Backup can't remove systems apps. It looks like I have a root, but not fully operated. Any advices?
Does this still trip the knox counter?
I want to root, but I must keep my warranty as this N915F is on my company's name.

I've tried to dig more in it, and what I get is
1. The only way I succeed is by using KingRoot, and the method it's using is by exploiting and keeping a daemon background and the su file for calling the daemon. So that means after reboot, root is lost.
3. Replacing KingRoot with SuperSU's su file will lead to a bootloop, same as goes to installing zip by twrp.
4. In the bootloop, logcat shows that it is repeating a particular normal boot process
5. In the bootloop, using adb shell and typing "su" will not get into root, despite su is located in xbin.
6. Busybox functions normally.
Any ideas?

Hi, I'm very interesting to this discussion, because yesterday my a700yd update to lollipop, then I root it with king root, but many app eg. leandroind not function with kingroot, so I use kingroot remove script but i'm occurred in bootloop, so I reflash original kitkat firmware but the phone does'nt work correctly, so I reflash lollipop firmware and all work perfectly. Now I would ask you if there is a functionally root method for a700yd?
Ps:when I do a wipe data in recovery mode, I have an error: E:can't mount /preload.

From my current experience, no. The sad thing is I'm not skilled enough to do it myself, and seemly there is no reason that skilled devs are willing to have a head in to this not-quite-popular device.
Btw, you need to format /system partition before you flash the kitkat(well, maybe it works maybe it don't, it's just my experience.)

Nope, it will only do that if you attempt to replace Kingroot with supersu.
If you apply supersu to a clean stock boot and system partition it shouldn't boot loop.

If you have twrp installed I will upload a modified version of SuperSU which will allow systemless root on 5.0.2.
This will patch the boot image and should prevent a bootloop.

Weird, I did format my /system, /data and /cache before pushing in stock rom and supersu...
Isn't it sufficient to remove KingRoot?

Or did I just messed up something?

If you flashed the stock rom that should remove the Kingroot and Super su binaries.
Are you using a stock kernel?
Usually only 5.1.1 and 6.0> need a patched boot.img as Samsung don't use root protection on 5.0.2 firmware.
However never say never and Samsung may may now be using root prevention in the later 5.0.2 kernels.
This means that a patched boot image is required to circumvent Samsung's root prevention.
If you have the boot.img I can patch it manually.

What causes bootloop
installing SuperSU just after TWRP install (via zip or sideload)

installing SuperSU from TWRP built-in will cause a recovery loop(unable to get past recovery screen)

I just got a Galaxy Tab A that came with Android 6.0.1, and keep having issues with it getting stuck at the flashing Samsung logo after rooting.
I first tried flashing CF autoroot using ODIN 3.10.6, and it got stuck at the logo. Then I read you have to wipe cache and data/factory reset, so I did that, and still got stuck.
Then I found for rooting Marshmallow, you need to flash TWRP using ODIN 3.10.7, reboot to recovery, flash SuperSU in TWRP, then reboot, and that time it worked.
I later tried to flash Xposed framework, and to easily reboot to recovery I used the menu option in Titanium Backup. I rebooted to recovery, flashed Xposed, hit reboot system, and it kept rebooting to recovery. Tried turning the tablet off, powering on, boots to recovery every time.
And now, no matter what I try doing, flashing TWRP, SuperSU, CF autoroot, stock recovery, wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset, it always gets stuck at the flashing Samsung logo.
Edit: so it looks like the stock recovery I downloaded was for Lollipop (I can't find the stock MM recovery anywhere), and I think that may be the issue. I've started downloading the full stock firmware and will try flashing it.
I tried rooting my Tab A once on Marshmallow and ended up, also with a bootloop.
You need to flash stock firmware, then try rooting again using SuperSU 2.76. Anything lower will cause the tablet to bootloop. That's because of the nature of Marshmallow. If the system partition is modified, it won't boot at all.
SuperSU 2.76 will basically do a systemless root on Marshmallow and above.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

do some research of this topic on your own before you take a look at it. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you, all, at the same time.
Ok, I have went through the same PROBLEM!!! I have experienced this and tried everything. Thank God, I am here to help you. DO NOT INSTALL CF-AUTOROOT FOR SM-T350! I have tried it too. Somehow, SM-T350 updated to Marshmallow and CF-Autoroot has updated too, but it updated to an older version of the Marshmallow OS. So your SM-T350's boot.img and recovery.img does not match. Same thing with TWRP. DON'T INSTALL TWRP MARSHMALLOW TO YOUR SM-T350! USE THE LOLLIPOP VERSION OF TWRP ON IT! The Marshmallow version of TWRP doesn't work because it is still under development. If you wish to keep it, you have to go to Download Mode and Recovery Mode manually. It is not supported with Third-Party apps, such as Titanium Backup, TWRP Manager, etc. The only TWRP that works well with those things, is the Lollipop version of TWRP. So remember, if you wish to keep the Marshmallow version of TWRP, you have to go to those Recovery and Download Mode manually. If you install the Lollipop version of TWRP, you don't have to worry about anything (Only the dates and time. It comes out as October 1970 on my Tablet [SM-T350]).
If you are wondering right now of how to turn back to Stock Rom and wish to retry with my advice, use Samsung SmartSwitch or updato.com (in Updato, go to OS Upgrade slot and type in the Device. Your device is XAR if you live in the US and bought it there.)
If you are trying to root and you had a backup or you flashed a New Stock Rom, then follow these instructions:
1. Get TWRP Marshmallow (Remember what I said the risks were, look at the previous paragraphs.) or TWRP Lollipop.
2. Flash them through Odin.
3. Your device will reboot, when it's done rebooting, go to Chrome and download this SuperSU .zip file from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/1003/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip
4. Turn off your device.
5. Go to Recovery mode manually if you are on TWRP Marshmallow (Lollipop Version, it doesn't matter) In order to go to Recovery Mode, press Vol. Up + Power + Home Button
6. Find that .zip file (should be in the Downloads section of your internal storage.
7. Press on it and it will ask you to flash by swiping.
8. It will start downloading in System-less mode, then it will say Reboot Device. Press that. If TWRP says to download SuperSU, DON'T LET IT!!!
9. You are done!
If you want to know how to download Xposed (and maybe Magisk, for System-less version) reply back to me.

Ok, I have went through the same PROBLEM!!! I have experienced this and tried everything. Thank God, I am here to help you. DO NOT INSTALL CF-AUTOROOT FOR SM-T350! I have tried it too. Somehow, SM-T350 updated to Marshmallow and CF-Autoroot has updated too, but it updated to an older version of the Marshmallow OS. So your SM-T350's boot.img and recovery.img does not match. Same thing with TWRP. DON'T INSTALL TWRP MARSHMALLOW TO YOUR SM-T350! USE THE LOLLIPOP VERSION OF TWRP ON IT! The Marshmallow version of TWRP doesn't work because it is still under development. If you wish to keep it, you have to go to Download Mode and Recovery Mode manually. It is not supported with Third-Party apps, such as Titanium Backup, TWRP Manager, etc. The only TWRP that works well with those things, is the Lollipop version of TWRP. So remember, if you wish to keep the Marshmallow version of TWRP, you have to go to those Recovery and Download Mode manually. If you install the Lollipop version of TWRP, you don't have to worry about anything (Only the dates and time. It comes out as October 1970 on my Tablet [SM-T350]).
If you are wondering right now of how to turn back to Stock Rom and wish to retry with my advice, use Samsung SmartSwitch or updato.com (in Updato, go to OS Upgrade slot and type in the Device. Your device is XAR if you live in the US and bought it there.)
If you are trying to root and you had a backup or you flashed a New Stock Rom, then follow these instructions:
1. Get TWRP Marshmallow (Remember what I said the risks were, look at the previous paragraphs.) or TWRP Lollipop.
2. Flash them through Odin.
3. Your device will reboot, when it's done rebooting, go to Chrome and download this SuperSU .zip file from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/1003/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip
4. Turn off your device.
5. Go to Recovery mode manually if you are on TWRP Marshmallow (Lollipop Version, it doesn't matter) In order to go to Recovery Mode, press Vol. Up + Power + Home Button
6. Find that .zip file (should be in the Downloads section of your internal storage.
7. Press on it and it will ask you to flash by swiping.
8. It will start downloading in System-less mode, then it will say Reboot Device. Press that. If TWRP says to download SuperSU, DON'T LET IT!!!
9. You are done!

Exactly what are you referring to when you state TWRP for MM doesn't work?
It works absolutely fine.
If you are referring to the reboot issue, that is not caused by TWRP itself.
It is caused by reboot utilities.

That's what I am saying. Third-Party Applications do not work with the Marshmallow version of TWRP.
Are there any custom roms for this device?

So, do you know how can I get the Nougat firmware on my rooted tablet without loosing data? (I have SuperSU 2.79, since 2.76 bootlooped my tab and needed to flash stock MM firmware). Should I use Flashfire for this or ODIN? And should I use SuperSU 2.79 or Magisk to root with the Nougat firmware?

The fact that makes me think that flashing nougat will cause data loss is that I saw many videos saying to wipe the device to flash the firmware

There is hardly ever a reason to wipe your device to flash the stock firmware update.

Exactly what I said. Stock upgrades are intended to be flashed as is. They don't expect you to wipe your device to update.

So, you mean that I can flash the SM T350 firmware with FlashFire WITHOUT wiping data? I only want YES or NO. That is all what I need.

Odin is preferred for stock firmware. However neither will wipe your device, so YES.

And one more thing, can I inject SuperSU while it's installing? And I can install the MODEM FIRMWARE & FIRMWARE?

If you're going from MM to NN you will need to flash with odin for the update to complete correctly.
FF cannot flash bootloaders.

You can use the T355 version for now.
Ok thanks! I'll xheck on it later.
Hi, Can someone please help, I must have done something wrong. Flashed official 4.1.6 update through twrp successfully, but lost root, tried to flash super su again (ver 2.86), but got stuck in boot, logo froze.
Flashed 4.1.6 again, phone works but no root still.
Is that a wrong super su version or did I do something else wrong?
Help will be really appreciated.
Regards
After flashing a full update you'll always have to reflash your root solution. I guess you mean SuperSU v2.82...
Use the official 2.82, found here (there's a link to the flashable zip). There's also a link to a version to try if you're experiencing bootloops.
You could also try the release candidate, found here.
Magisk all the way
1. Wipe data
2. Flash ROM
3. Flash root package, either SuperSU or Magisk
4. Reboot
I see no reason why wouldn't this work for you

Hi,
Many thanks.
Before proceeding, should the super su app also be removed from phone?

I think, I was not able to explain, Rom is already there, but I just flashed 4.1.6 update, and root was gone.
Just wanna avoid all those data backup, restore, register all new banking apps etc, it time consuming and painful.
I am pretty sure, root can be restored, when I have an unlocked bootloader, twrp recovery working properly.
SuperSU is still there in apps but can't open as says, root not available. However, can uninstall this if that is required.
Cheers

You can try to uninstall it through supersu app but make sure to keep you boot img. Then your phone will be fully unrooted, go into twrp and reflash supersu/magisk

Hey I just updated my phone through twrp and I lost root access & custom recovery. Could someone tell me how I can root my phone now again? Info of my phone is below in the pic
P.S: I used KingRoot before and it worked. But not anymore.

Of course you lost root and TWRP because a update.zip contains also recovery and other things(vendor, custom, etc.) and by flashing it the stock recovery will overwrite your TWRP and the new system will delete your root access.
And NEVER install KingRoot on this device! It will mess a lot of things(SuperSU and Magisk work)
You will need to flash TWRP again in order to have root because both supersu and magisk need to be flashed through TWRP(because they are .zip files, at least a part of the root, you will need to install the magisk app to have full root)
SuperSU root just needs to be flashed, just magisk needs an app to be installed after .zip flash.
