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 everyone guys, my nickname is AndresPiggy but you cal call me just Piggy as my friends!! :cyclops:
My problem is this:
I used to have my phone perfectly rooted with chainsfire(SuperSU)!! But... A time ago, I installed KingRoot accidentally and the apk started to install the root, after the root instalation failed, the Superuser(Apk from KingRoot) of KingRoot was there in my phone installed and that ruined the root on my phone, I tried to eliminate it but I can not, then, the SuperSU started having problems manage the aplications that need root access, after that I verify my root in my root checker and it said "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device".
"Root Checker App" : i66.tinypic.com/2re79n9.png
All these after I installed accidentally the KingRoot... After all this mess, I made a reset factory, but saddly, the Superuser was still there, and the SuperSU too. Now I dont know what to do I and searching help from you guys. :crying:
Searching more information from another apps I saw this:
"Simply Unroot App": i66.tinypic.com/ht5khv.jpg
"Unroot My Phone App": i68.tinypic.com/10ng7sp.jpg
"Superuser App" By ChainsDD: i63.tinypic.com/25gqc1w.png
I hope those pics help :good: Now I have the Kingo SuperUser deactivate it, and thats another thing, when I wanna install the bin of SuperSu, its failed, I tried by teh 2 ways and failed.
What Can I Do?
Hi Piggy! (As your friends call you)
The only thing I could think of in this case is to flash the stock firmware again. (Will cause a full wipe of the device though, so make sure you back up your stuff!). Unless your problem is solved by now of course.

Just like @RealFreddyBananas said. Flash a new stock firmware via odin. Then you can root your device again.
Hello I don't know if I can ask here but I can't root my device. I have tried almost everything, from the apk's and even on my laptop. I have a Lenovo A816 running on 4.4.4. I just got this phone, I'm actually an Apple user but my iPhone is being repaired right now. It's safe to say I don't know anything about Androids. I've looked all over google for guides on this phone but nothing comes up. I really want to uninstall some of these system apps. I've tried King root, Vroot' iRoot' framaroot, oneclickroot. I've literally tried every one of them to no avail. When I switched to my laptop, I used Kingo Root and it said root was successful but when I tried root checker it said my root is not installed properly, so no root again. Is there anything I can do to root it. This phone is Chinese. I'm in the UK.
Thanks

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...
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.
