I have a T-Mobile snapdragon s8 rooted and I can't play animal crossing because it detects root. I see people using magisk to play but we can't obviously use that method. Does anyone know any other way to get it working short of unrooting?
I don't have an answer for you but I'm in the same boat. I rooted my unlocked US s8 with sampwnd, tried to install animal crossing, nope. I gave up on getting it from Play Store pretty quick so I've been using an apk. It can get through the nintendo link, the initial scene, and the character customization, then shuts itself down. Countless reinstalls of this app. I ended up trying to unroot through the supersu app. Now I'm in an even worse situation: I don't have root, but every app that checks for root thinks I do, so no animal crossing or netflix for me. And I can't open a root adb shell in order to redo the sampwned root without reflashing stock. This weekend when I have more time I'll be reflashing stock and I really hope that works. Root will be worth it when the bootloader can be unlocked, but I can't deal with the missing apps and the 80% battery BS honestly.
Rooted exynos using magisk.batman rom and notorious kernal No special settings. Game working fine. Netflix works as well. Must be something with the way the snapdragon variant is rooted

You can try Xposed+root cloak or one of the other root hide tools there. If its safety net or knox you're outta luck though

Yea I just uprooted and re flashed stock. I loved having root but it was the same for me, I hated not being able to use apps plus the 80% charging. I was in the oreo beta so its cool I have that at least. Thanks for your reply
Edit: animal crossing is awesome by the way. I love it. Totally worth unrooting for me

I confirm!!! Roooted AT&T P907a
Yup just successfully rooted..because of this I was able to take my sdcard out of the pro 10.1 I had and restore all the apps from titanium to the 12.2 note pro...now all I need is a recovery so I can flash a script to get rid of this lag...but having root makes this beast of a tablet 100x better already.
Anyone having any reboot issues? I haven't tried it yet and don't have any issues, but I'm up for root.

For those wondering how hard is it.
1. Click link at top
2. Click link to towel root site
3. Click the icon to dl towel root
4. Install, run apk
5. Done
This took longer for me too type than it will for you to root

safestrap for at&t note 3
Hey guys just got my at&t note pro 12.2 yesterday, and its awesome, saw the tab s 10.5 today with the super amboled screen.I got to say wish the tab s came with lte, cause it looks great.Anyways I rooted with towelroot from geohot today with no problems.I decided to try the safestrap recovery for the at&t note 3 the new version 3.75 and it seems to be working.I just made a nanoid backup and it worked but it took a while.I didn't try to restore yet because was afraid if something went wrong I dont think theres a stock odin firmware to fall back on.The only thing the dpi is off because of our big screen but u can c most of the recovery page.I just wanted 2 let u guys know if anyone wants to play around with it.

The towelroot works on the snapdragon version of Note Pro. P900 is built on Exynos and therefore it will not work.
So far the only confirmed models are P905, P905V (Verizon) and P907A (AT&T), and only if you have not accepted an OTA update in the past month.

Don't feel ripped off. Snapdragon is a better processor, at least in this implementation of Note Pro. Don't be fooled by the word Octacore. Only 4 cores work at a time for Exynos.
Does this trip knox?
I rooted, allowed SuperSU to disable Knox, and no Knox trip.
Sent from my SM-P905 using XDA Premium HD app
Want to confirm that this worked perfectly for me as well. Easiest root I've done. No Knox Trip either.
Got random reboots with the SM-907A (xxxxAND7) via towelroot method. Used the latest SU and just let it disable Knox on it's own. The more knox stuff I froze via Titanium Backup, the more frequent the reboots were. Root itself did work though; knox still 0x0, showed as "official," but the random reboots were a bit annoying. Even letting SU disable Knox and leaving everything else enabled, still would reboot to the AT&T logo every couple days.
I've already uninstalled the AT&T bloat and left everything else there. I'm just going to unroot for a bit and see how it goes. Besides, not like disabling all of that stuff really helped performance much anyways. AdBlock randomly caused webpages not to load and I don't keep anything all that important that needs to be backed up. So I'll live with near-stock + Nova for now.

Did unrooting get rid of the reboots? I have these also, except more frequently than you describe. If so I will do as you did, debloat, get the software on that I want and unroot.

Thanks for the update. I actually used ODIN to go back to stock. After doing that I rooted and before installing SuperSU, I used the debloat script to disable Knox and the security updater. This has left my Note Pro rock solid and rooted with no Knox. It seems that using SuperSU to disable Knox is causing the random soft reboots.

With my P907A, it wouldn't root on our newest update. It gave me the same error. I had to ODIN back to stock and root then disable the updater using a script here on the forums.
I feel that the retail models don't get as much love as the dev ones. there is a way to root current 5.0.1 retail models, someone just has to find it. Good luck guys and may all the power be to you.

The only reason the Dev Ed got the gravy is because it's possible to root it. The Ret Ed is getting a lot of love too. It's just not working because they did such a good job of blocking everything from rooting it. But the buzz is that they're still trying.
The only way to use xposed is thru root, right? I miss xposed!

Hey, throwing a thought out there.
There is temporary root, in some cases, and for now, that may be good enough, yes.
So, for example, gain temp root, install apps or make mods which can run unrooted, for example, let's say I want to enable call recording. well, that's just a CSC entry yes? do temp root, make the mod, reboot, done... no longer rooted, but the mod remains the same...
This does not solve all problems, like an app that requires it full time, but for mods it's ok.
on the other hand - if you can't beat em, join em. if temp root is achievable, let it be your frend.
Say we build a a different temp root app, that temp roots as the device starts, well, ok, then have it be the first run app, gets temp root, then just use the phone as normal, like it's rooted... t'would be like safe strap, where it's not a complete solution, but doable.
thoughts?
is there any news about proper rooting of this phone? i saw someone used king root and quickly switched it to superSU or whatever.. but im just asking if there was any new info about it. i want to root it so badly.. the battery sucks and is always over heating haha
Kingroot to supersu. It's not difficult and works.

Hi there, I'm no new to development, but haven't played with a phone in a while.
Can someone please tell me what the disadvantages of rooting the Nexus 6p are?
My plan is to get root access only to use specific apps (eg greenify) but not to install a new ROM, i.e. I'll stay with stock.
Does this affect:
-Applicability of OTA updates from Google
-ability to use the fingerprint reader
-warranty claims
-speed/stability of the device?
Thanks in advance!

-OTA are not possible when rooted. You have to flash back stock boot.img and recovery.img to accept an OTA.
-It does not interfere with Nexus Imprint (Fingerprint reader.)
-Does not affect speed or stability
-Warranty is not affected because you can flash stock imgs and relock bootloader.
You can take OTA's if you do the systemless-root. I believe you would have to flash the recovery back to stock, though.
I think you have to flash boot as well since it's modified.
the biggest disadvantage is your device become instantly awesome, so if you are used to being annoyed about the stock OS missing features this is hard to deal with
But honestly the best thing about owning a nexus is you can root and easily go back to stock if you change your mind. The flash images are also easily available for updates (even before the OTA is out). So play with it, and worst case you can always restore back to stock.
currently my only disadvantage to me is loosing android pay...
yea i know i can make it work if i delete /su/xbin... but i feel like its there for a reason and i shouldnt be deleting it.

i have been using systemless root since v 2.61... im using 2.66 now
and android pay didnt work, and even wont pass safetynet test
delete the /su/xbin folder and it passes safetynet and android pay works...
so yes, for me it sucks that i have delete that to make AP to work... which is why for now i am giving up AP since i dont feel comfortable deleting xbin and breaking stuff
Mine passes safetynet test and is just systemless with nothing deleted. No Android Pay in the UK to test it with though.
Not being awesome.
Not living in the exciting XDA fast lane!
Can I use Xposed with systemless root?
Thanks for the replies everyone - that was very helpful. I've gone ahead and installed three sustemless root, and installed xposed too, leaving the rom itself untouched as stock.
However, my system is disappointingly buggy. Apps keep crashing. Is this common? I thought this was supposed to be a stable/safe thing to do!

lol this seems to happen when you root and install Xposed or pretty much modify anything. Usually I see a decrease in stability and battery life but an increase in performance, and you get to play with new features early.
I'm contemplating rooting just to use the new launcher.

You have a couple of things going on.
First root IS as safe as you let it be. If you haven't installed any root applications it should not be any more buggy than stock.
You have installed Xposed. You have not mentioned what modules you have.
I don't have any issues you describe but I don't have a lot of modules installed.
I am stock with Xposed and root.
None

... Ive had my G4 for some time now on stock MM but was encountering some minor heat issues, i decided to book up the courage to downgrade and root.
Now, im not the most experianced in rooting, i useually count on programs that do it for me, ive never pushed, injected, fake OTA etc. Before. Yes i was scared.
I finally did it all sucessfully yesterday but the only problem is, i feel abit dirty.. Thats the only way i can explain it!
Its strange, i enjoyed stock but i love root access.
Anybody else had this feeling, with any of their phones?
Btw, im now on H815 SEA (Singapore) LP
Yep it's normal, you're gonna learn to love the feeling and you soon could not live without it.
You see, now "TheRoot has you" and there's no escape. Soon you'll be diagnose with ORD (http://www.xda-developers.com/do-you-have-obsessive-rom-updating-disorder-ord/) and you're gonna try and root every device you see.
Welcome to the club
Haha, don't get me wrong I've been rooting for years but I did really enjoy being on stock. Once I get more organised I should feel a bit better.

You don't need an unlocked bootloader to install Xposed.

I did not read anywhere that it was risky. My first time doing it with flash fire 0.24.
I have a locked bootloader.
Only scary part is your screen being off and you device seeming dead for 15min. It's normal though.
If you decide to do it the version of Flash fire must be 0.24 and you need SDK22 arm64 of exposed framework. I installed SDK21 (its for Android 5.0) first time I did which is wrong for the Android version 5.1.1 and nothing bad happened, ran the uninstaller and installed SDK22.

I don't know where I read it but I remember somebody saying every time they use flash fire they crap their pants. I will install xposed but I might wait until an unofficial unlock comes out. I can live without xposed .... For now

I guess the whole part where your phone seems dead for 20min is scary, because you do not know what is happening. I do think we can still recover with LGUP if something goes wrong though I am no expert.
Like you I really hope unofficial bootloader unlock comes, but who knows if it will...

Probably. There was no information anywhere on doing it to my variant but worked just fine (H812). Just make sure you get the right version for your phone, then the same version that is rooted. Pretty sure LGUP can not brick a phone but I am pretty new to LG phones.
Rooting aint what it was. Some folks just keep fooling themselves its worth doing. Most that do it, don't need to anymore. Give it another couple of years and root will be gone mostly.

Well for me its really worth changing the awful stock DPI on the G4, you can kind of do it without root but does not work properly.
Removing ads is a bonus.
Also it's nice to have access to play with some things. (exposed modules, tweakbox, etc).
What could you do a few years ago with root that you can't now? I am pretty new to Android, so honest question.
You can't make a Nandroid without UB can you as you don't have custom recovery do you? That is the bit I would worry about having Xposed on LB,if a module crashed the ROM. I think the Xinstaller forced into bootloop on my last G4

I don't think so, but can't you fix a bootloop with LGUP?
Unless bootloop was caused by HW failure which happened a lot on older G4s from my understanding.
Xinstaller definitely caused bootloop for my G4, not the hardware problem (that came a couple weeks later) as I went to recovery and deleted module and booted fine. It was conflict with MM at the time I think.
Point being I don't think you can make Nandroid without UB. Don't know about LGUP, I guess you could yes, but lose settings media apps etc.
Yea this is why all my stuff is either backed up to the cloud or its on the media card.
I've had a rooted phone for ages through multiple devices and vendors. I recently succumbed to the curiosity and upgraded my SEA G4 to MM, losing root. I haven't had any heat issues, not ones solved by not playing games that require constant tapping on the screen anyway, and generally I've been happy with my phone on MM. The main thing I miss from when I had root is the ability for Tasker to do certain actions - like enabling/disabling location services and NFC etc.
Sure I can live with it - but getting back abilities like that has made me consider a downgrade just like the OP many times. I am resigned to the possible fact that I may never get an unlocked bootloader, and no MM root will be no surprise to me.
