I have a Samsung j5 2015.
I want to temporarily root it.
After I restart my phone, I want it to act like it never was rooted. Ever. If I give it to my carrier, even, and they investigate it, they won't be able to find it. its status also must be official after doing this.
Is this possible? I don't need a custom ROM or anything, I just want to remove the pre-installed crapware.
just root it and unroot if you dont want it anymore, its that simple(but it might still void your warranty but eh)
That's not much problem my device warranty is already voided. The problem is when i root it it shows root failed i think its is due to locked bootloader. I want to unlock bootloader without wiping data. Is it possible...? @dankfrank33
btw what android ver are you using? did you root it thru twrp(flash method)?
6.0.1 Marshmallow
What you suggest me how to root it...?
i tried kingroot and kingoroot it failed always...

Hello all,
This is my first Samsung device, the Galaxy S7 Edge Dual sim (SM-G935FD) bought from UAE.
I used to install TWRP and root every android phone I had before, so I am still not sure whether to root this one. I already have the files required for rooting, but I noticed that there are 2 ways of rooting:
1. Using Odin to install TWRP and then from there install SuperSU.
2. CF-Auto-Root.
What is/are the difference(s) in both methods?
My other question is: I read that rooting will trip Knox, and there is NO WAY to get it back to normal even flashing the original ROM. Is that the case?
One last thing, I am now stuck in the download mode (turned off the phone, pressed "Volume down", "Home" and "Power"), I did that just to check the info on the top left (model and warranty void...) but I cannot seem to restart the phone even by pressing the power button for more than 20 seconds, how can I turn the phone off then back on?
Thank you
*****EDIT*****
Regarding my last question (stuck in Download mode), pressing the same combination got me back to start the phone normally
Cf-AutoRoot will root your phone but then you will have to put your recovery on also usually flashed with Odin anyway or an app if it's working for the Galaxy S7... Twrp plus superuser will root and you'll have the recovery installed.... They both will trip your official (0x0) knox and make it (0x1) custom.... You can always go back to stock rom and get OTA updates but your knox will remain at 0x1......this is supposed to void the warranty but depending on where you live it won't make a difference.... Also if you want to flash roms and mods and kernels just use the twrp method and if you just want root and to be able to use root permission apps use the Cf-AutoRoot.... As of right now I haven't rooted because there aren't to many Roms available... I'm sure I will cause I miss titanium backup and the ability to get rid of all the bloat ware (especially Facebook & Microsoft ****).... The phone runs great without root and battery is excellent.... The last reason I was waiting was Samsung pay won't work with tripped Knox counter.... I live in the US but have the international 935F... So it doesn't look like this variant will support Pay anytime soon.... Probably gonna root when development picks up a little....
*edit*... Always have a stock rom just in case saved to your computer just in case... That would of saved me lots of freak outs and headaches years ago... Now it's the first thing I do before Rooting or flashing anything to my phone

Thank you for the detailed reply.
I made a research yesterday on Knox (as I said, this is my first Samsung device), and I just wanted to make sure that I understood things properly.
So now after reading, tripping Knox will disable Samsung Pay (I do not have it in my country) so that is not going to make any difference. But, what about paying using the fingerprint sensor in Google Play, will it stop working if Knox is tripped? I also use the fingerprint sensor to login to my mobile banking app (instead of typing the password every time I want to login), will that stop too? I guess not but again just to be sure.
Thanks a lot once again.
I know when I rooted my S6 all the fingerprint stuff still worked so I dont think it will make a difference... Im not sure with the S7 edge but I would think it would still work cause all of those require a typed password before you use your fingerprint(1st setup only) Then use your fingerprint there after... .. Doesn't have anything to do with Knox

yep, it all still works. just Samsung pay & private mode.
Hello,
I have a problem with my phone.
I rooted it so I could flash a ROM with Marshmallow on it.
I now have ALE--L21C432B574 on it with TWRP. (my phone is single SIM hardware but I installed the double SIM firmware, so far it worked well)
With the recent "****" announced by Niantic, i didn't know if I had to stop playing Pokemon Go, or if I should unroot. After some reflexion, I determined that I don't use root that much, so I decided to unroot directly from SuperSU to uninstall the root.
Except the phone is still detected as rooted, It doesn't pass SafetyNet API so I can't play Pokemon Go.
I did a factory reset but from the beginning of configuration it told me my phone was rooted. I don't understand what to do. Do I have to flash the stock recovery of the C432B574 update and lock the bootloader so it stops detecting root on my phone ?
Or do I have to get it back to the original state with my branded rom (which I can't find...) ?
How can I completely remove root so the game would work ?
Thanks in advance for any helpful response I can get.
Hi guys, I just got the samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (G935F Exynos) but I miss the Root permission.
I have two question:
1- Its possible to fix sd car permission on 6.0.1 without root?
2- can i install CF-AutoRoot or other root without invalidating the warranty and to flag the Knox?
I have no need of custom recovery but only the Root
Sorry for stupid question
Thanks
1. Just lockate sd card in every app that needs using it... when the stock android file manager opens press 3 dots and show sd cards, then choose the sd card.
2. you can root by flashing twrp with odin and cf autoroot with twrp, if you have an international gs7e, i hear all USA are locked. Read more and find a guide here or in Youtube. Also there is no way to not trip knox, if you flash smth custom with odin it will change for ever to 0x1. In a lot of country 0x1 don;t void your warranty, just need to be insistent and prove that root could not cause this problem. Also root is not needed as it was before... want no adds install ADHELL from google play, it works rly well, still testing it and battery looks ok. Tasker can do close to all things now without root using autotools or autoinput, not as good as with root but still an option, reselling rooted phone is a lot harder, of you can dont say anything to the buyer if he knows nothing about Samsung device...
I have a 3 year old galaxy s7 edge. And recently i tried to root it, and i think i didn't succeed in that completely. Because with root checker my device shows its rooted. But my supersu got disappeared after couple of hours. And i tried to install other root managers (king root) but now i cannot get root access to any apps.
My device is still rooted as per root checker. What should i do now? How can I unroot the device?
Which rom are you running?
And is a custom recovery installed on your phone?
Ultimately you want to unroot your phone?
Just want to do some banking
Stock android 8.0. And i haven't installed any custom recovery either. This is not my daily driver. This was my brother's old phone. So i haven'tdone any thing interesting to this device. I was simply using this for a second sim card only. Now i want to do some banking transactions from this phone and those apps doesnt let me from a rooted device. Is there an easy way to unroot this? Or an easy way to hide the root for the apps to work?
Hi!
I have issue with app on my S7 Edge that demands me to unroot. I rooted my phone 5 years ago or more and I don't remember a thing about it. I did this to permanently remove bloatware. Only way I know to unroot is to flash stock-rom again but I don't want to loose my hard effort on debloating + data and so on. Is there any tricks for that? Like hide/remove su binary? I really don't remember where to start. Also with factory reset or something I cant remember I lost root access partially - that is apps can still tell that phone is rooted (root checker tells that root access is available but then also orange warning that root access is not properly installed on this device). But they can't request root privilege for some reason. But I still have this custom recovery rom installed where I have basically root access to phone - do you think I could use this to somehow hide temporarily root from my app that is complaining about it and then later restore root to the full - that is to make apps able to request root access again? I would like to keep my apps/data and I remember them getting lost in process of rooting due to some samsung encryption crap - not sure how to check data/app loss would be case now since I did it so long time ago. Could anyone help me out?
For documentation purposes. So in my case I had lost root with factory reset. I had to boot into TWRP and re-flash super su. Difference from official tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ial-twrp-for-galaxy-s7-edge-hero2lte.3334084/ was that in step 9 my phone did not complain about dm-verity,. I did not have to disable encryption and I did not loose my data. Someone may correct me but it was because I had already rooted in past and the most likely cause for "loosing" root was doing factory reset. PS I have european model so I am not sure how much it makes this tutorial different.
Now what is left to do is come up with ideas how to hide root from 1 specific app in Android 7.
