Need to Reroot - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I rooted then pressed full unroot in SuperSu to try to unroot but it didn't work. I can't flash with ODIN or smart switch. I need to reroot now but when I enter in the Setsid Su command it says Permission denied. Can you help? I'm using the GS8 Snapdragon. Originally SM-G950U1 but now I'm on SM-G950U. Please don't ask why I want to unroot, I don't want to explain.

No offense but this is kinda dumb. It's not helpful at all

But even with new Roms they usually work automatically. That's what I've realized.

[Q] Unrooting

I need help, which guide do i use to unroot my myTouch? I rooted with VISIONary.
Sorry if this was already asked before, search function not working right now.

IF all you did was root with VISIONary.apk and didn't turn s=off reinstall VISIONary and tap the unroot button.
If you flashed the recovery image you need to flash the PD15IMG
Keep in mind if you did the ./gfree method you need to reverse it. see the development thread to do that.

I downloaded VISIONary app and hit unroot. The phone rebooted but it still says S-OFF and now it says permission denied when i try to su.

So it's obvious that you did more that just use VISIONary to root your phone. You also turned s=off. How did you do that, and what ROM are you currently using.
To regain root access re-root using VISIONary.

look up how to use ODIN and TWRP, sounds like you shouldn't be playing with root if you dont have a grasp of basic flashing.
Be careful.. I rooted a Verizon note 3 for a buddy the other day, fired up rom manager, flashed a recovery and soft bricked the phone. Locked bootloader... Had to odin back to stock to fix it.

[ROOT][RECOVERY][ALL IN ONE] Cf-Autoroot-twrp-T700/705/800/805/Tab S- UPDATE 23/4/15

Updated CF-autoroot with latest Supersu binaries and combined TWRP recovery for SM-T800/SM-T805/T700/T705 Exynos only, Lollipop and Kitkat
I've noticed that quite a number of people seeking to root their device also flash TWRP afterwards, seeing as it's unnecessary to do both steps I have made an all in one package to root and install TWRP recovery.
Cf-autoroot has been updated with the latest Supersu binaries and TWRP has been updated with my fixed version (ADB root shell and Download mode fixes).
UPDATE - I have updated all versions with new builds. TWRP is now v2.8.6.2 and now includes the fixes recently pushed to their repo for encrypted backups. I have also addressed the slow wipe issue, cache, system, etc., which some have experienced and should now be much quicker.
Each device now has it's own build, this is to ensure that TWRP recovery build properties reflect the device it's installed on. ROMs such as CM12 should now install without issue.
Feedback is welcome.
Simply flash with ODIN. Odin 10.6

UPDATED TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3074633
NOTE: It is important to boot to recovery after flashing or twrp may not stick and will be replaced with stock recovery.
When flashing uncheck auto reboot in Odin, immediately after flashing manually reboot and boot into twrp.
Manual reboot is POWER + HOME +VOL DOWN then as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
Credits to chainfire for his great work.
FEEDBACK PLEASE
AND DONT FORGET THAT THANKS BUTTON :good: HIT AND RUN IS NOT NICE

Testing..
EDIT:
Root is working great, at least terminal got root permissions and recovery does work too !

Unfortunately AT&T lock the bootloader, so atm you're stuck with a device that cannot be modified in any way.

After using the app with odin, root checker indicates that "Root access not properly configured or granted".
Root question comes up but can not check the box to allow.
Had an issue like this on a different device and it was corrected when I changed to ART, but do not know where it is in 5.0.2?
Just tried TWRP, and it is allowed.

Use Root Validator and post the output. Root checker doesn't give enough information.

Looks like you are rooted but are not granting root permission when asked.
Is the post below any solution to your problem?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3076796
If you still have problems you could open the Super su app and change in settings to 'Grant' root access by default.

BINGO!, it was Lux. I did an uninstall and rebooted and had ROOT.........WOW, strange that this would be the answer, but it worked for me at this moment.

I have a verizon note 4, I have unlock bootloader and using kingo root to root. I am trying to install twrp with odin, odin wants a tar file, the twrp file for this phone is an .img file. How do I get twrp installed?
thanks!
I recommend rooting with CF-Auto Root

Ohh sorry, it was a verizon retail note 4. purchased about when they were released. I used the kingoroot method (PC one). It was a little quirky and would not always work, I would have to reboot phone, get it rooted using the app then follow the steps to continue on with unlocking the boot loader etc.

I'll have to give the PC one a shot. Nice to know it's worked for someone. I've really missed root.

Rooted 6p running 7.0 WITHOUT Xposed can't log into snapchat

Hey guys. I know this is a known issue with a workaround for people who have xposed on their rooted phone, but I don't. I rooted my phone using the Nexus Toolkit. Is there any way to log in to snapchat on a rooted phone that doesn't have xposed to begin with? I believe SuperSU is what my phone uses but I'm not very savvy when it comes to rooting. If someone could give me steps I would really appreciate it.
Did you ever solve your problem?
All you have to do is unroot from the SuperSU app then login to Snapchat then re flash SuperSU if you need root again @taylorleach
@quaman by unroot do you mean uncheck 'enable super user' in the settings? I have also tried that and it did not work. Or did you mean hit 'full unroot' at the bottom of the settings?

Follow this guide to setup fastboot and ADB from your computer. Fastboot flash the system.img and boot.img from the factory image that matches your OS. Login to Snapchat then root again.
