Mobileiron no longer working for "unlocked" / "rooted" users. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All.
I have had a rooted ROM of one sort or another within a few days of getting my Galaxy S2, and prior to that on my HTC Desire. Currently using CM10 as my daily driver. My works email was setup using the built in exchange client on the HTC and then Samsung, but for the best part of a year now our company has been using Mobileiron with Touchdown email app. I do actually prefer the Touchdown email app, and all has been working fine until this weekend.
Having been on holiday for a week I decided to catchup on some emails while sat in due to the bad weather in the UK, and so I turned activesync back on only to find that it wont sync. I cleared data for Touchdown, and allowed Mobileiron to re-download the settings, only to get an error saying I no longer have access to download settings from the Mobileiron server.
Using webmail I find that our corporate IT team have sent out an email stating that any "unlocked" or "rooted" phones will no longer be able to connect to activesync as they pose a security risk.
Is there anyway I can fool Mobileiron into thinking my phone is not rooted?

SuperSU, app settings, deny root?

Using any of the Superuser apps you could deny it root access. Go into the Superuser app and revoke its access so it can't check for root.

Thanks for your replies.
Mobileiron does not ask for root, so does not show up in Superuser. I don't know how it checks if your device is rooted?

Hmm, maybe its checking for su binary.

Samsung Email app without security

Hi all
Been using various Roms on my sgs2 and currently using the excellent TheGingerMod rom.
One thing I have been looking for is the samsung stock email app (for using a Exchange email account for work) but without the security administrator functions activated, im not keen on my work having full access to my handset and even the remote wipe!
I've tried a couple of email apk's listed in the Apps & Themes section but can't find one that fully stops my work having access to remote wipe and other security functions.. Perhaps its not possible?
One I currently use is ok (gingerbread email) from gauner1986 but I miss being able to move emsils to my folders etc, which samsung does very well!
I found another email apk which was posted as being a modified samsung version but couldn't run it..simply crashed each time I ran it...
Anyone help on this please?... Love this community and all you dev's are simply brilliant at what you do!
Cheers

HELP!! Email messages show as blank over ActiveSync.

Hello all.
I have recently moved from a Samsung Galaxy Note II to the Sony Xperia Z Ultra and now having issues with ActiveSync on my email. The account can connect fine, and lists the messages fine but when I open a message up, the BODY is blank. Sender, subject and all other data is fine. Just a blank body.
A bit of googling shows that this issue is floating around the Net for other folks with other mail servers (including Zimbra) and the problem is related to the "HTML body size", with some servers being able to set this and some clients misbehaving. AFAIK, there is no such setting in Kerio Connect which is the mail server I am running, and there is supposed to be a workaround built in to the current version for the seemingly misbehaving Sony Xperia Z altho no mention of the Z Ultra.
See here for some info:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-S-SL-acro-S/Can-t-read-Exchange-mail-body-after-6-0-a-3-73-update/td-p/155919/page/3
Well I cant seem to get any joy out of this at all. The "unsupported client" flag on Kerio has been turned both on and off to no avail. Right now I am having to ActiveSync my contacts and calendar and IMAP the mail, but that is horrible and folder management is inadequate that way (items sent from the phone are put into the phones 'sent' folder which is not the same as servers "sent items' folder so they never show in Outlook 2010 on my PC. IMAP just totally ruining everything. HAVE to activesync fully.
Anybody else got this with their mail server (which one?) and anyone know what to do about it? If dont get any ideas, then my plan would be to unlock the bootloader, install CWM and then flash in the AOSP email client to replace Sony one. Have downloaded quite a few clients from the PlayStore. Problems vary from being ugly enough to stop a clock, to not supporting ActiveSync at all or only over WebDAV. All useless in one way or another.
Anyone have any ideas?!
Thanks,
Asif
Kerio Connect: 8.1.3 build 1711 (running on Windows Server 2008 R2)
Client: Sony Xperia Z Ultra running Android 4.2.2, ROM 14.1.B.1.532
PS I have left a similar message on the kerio forum with no reponse.
I'd try an alternative client, recommend maildroid free to see if it works, never had any problems.

MailDroid doesnt support full proper ActiveSync but only offers WebDAV which is not the same thing.
Also on activesync email not shown as html

No worries pal. Thanks for trying.
newstar - what is your email server? MS Exchange, Kerio or something else?
Think i will end up unlocking bootloader to install CWM and then using AOSP email client (which is shame as Sony one rather nice; certainly nicer looking than Samsung one was although that did ActiveSync perfectly!)
try touchdown, i use it and its pretty decent

Thanks. I ended up unlocking the bootloader, flashing in CWM and then using it to install generic Android email.apk whcih performs ActiveSync perfectly. Much better than paying for an app to bypass Sony's poor implementation of the ActiveSync protocol.
Happy camper now!

Can Some One Test Microsoft Exchange Mail

Can some one please confirm if they can successfully logging to their work email using Microsoft Exchange Mail after the new OTA update to 4.3 I'm having issue's now on 4.3 I never had issues before on 4.1 here's the error that I'm getting.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I didn't update via the over the air but I am running a 4.3 Rom and using exchange. I haven't had any issues with it. And I didn't have to do anything special to get it to work. I'd run a nandroid backup and then factory reset and try setting it up again. And if it still doesn't work I'd try the ruu from htc.

I always use Microsoft Exchange Mail for my work email and it is still working ok after the update. I updated via over the air. Are you using manual or automatic settings? In my case I always have to input the settings manually (before and after the update) every time I need to setup my account again. The auto discovery feature for the settings never work for me. I guess it is because of the way my work email server is configured.
Mine works fine. We use Exchange 2010
Just found the fix, what happened was you have a limited of 10 device that can be connected to Microsoft Exchange I had to delete old devices that I wasn't using anymore. And I was able to loggin.

[Q] Trying to add another Gmail account

Back when my doodle was rooted, i enjoyed the full power of adding and removing google accounts. Now on .22 of course i cant do that, though the accounts i had before are still there (huzzah).
Is there some way to add additional accounts in my situation? Perhaps via another gapp that would ask for signin (and be loadable without play services)?
Thanks in advance.
Dunno but i want a rooted doodle!

I managed to add another account through using the G+ app, I can't exactly remember how I did it but it is possible by using another google app and signing in.
If only... g+ won't run without services framework. Looking for summat that does...

Google Apps Device Policy Anyone Using It?

Anyone Using It? As I Have To Use It To Add My Campany Email Account Thats Not The Issue The Issue Is Its Necessary If You Use The "Google Apps Device Policy App" You Have To Add Password Which I Dont Want To As I Like Normal Swipe Lockscreen Please Suggest Me Can I Enable It Without The Password Or Any Other Alternatives
i figured it out
the only way to make it work without password is to decrypt your device
Gawd. I would dearly recommend you to use encryption and strong authentication wherever possible.
Your company would definitely not be happy with an unencrypted phone with no security accessing their email servers.
That's just a recipe for disaster honestly! What if you lose your phone?

As long as the missing phone was noticed immediately.....
Would be similar to having a corporate laptop with no passwords and such IMO.

I take it this is for exchange access? Use Exchained on the app store. It removes all policy requirements. I've used it for a year or more with no issues. My companies polices where a pain in my ass too...

Surely the best solution is to use Secure Folder for work related stuff?
