Is there any way to unroot easily? Just in case my phone breaks down I still want access to the warranty.
Oh and will Google Play Movies still work after rooting?
should be able to unroot through the super user app or just flash back to stock via odin.
You might try Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, which has an option to temporarily unroot your phone. That should be adequate for service .

Has anyone tried this(SuperSU way) on note2 specifically?
I reset back to stock by flashing with Odin...not a hard process IMO.

Voodoo OTA rootkeeper i think would best answer your ?
I use Voodoo, and it works like a charm
The Google play movies will not work on the market it but I believe there is a hacked version that has the root check disabled. It should be on the forums or a simple Google search for "root Google play movies". (Sorry I'm at work and can't search the forums as well)

download voodoo rootkeeper from the market and run, if your rooted, it will temporarily unroot your device.
download and install the test skygo app from this thread (post 129)

open skygo, sign in to your account and watch, if you don't have an account sign up, obviously you need to be in the UK and a sky customer

I'm rooted, should I unroot before this lands? If I should, how do I unroot 9.4.2.28?
Thanks!
If you have a modded build prop I would restore the original one. Also unfreeze any frozen apps. No need to unroot though

and if you have browser2ram or other tweaks, uninstall/revert to stock before updating.
if you do want to unroot (and I agree with above post it may not be necessary) then install voodoo rootkeeper from play store. it will allow you to temporarily be unrooted at the push of a button, very good app.
I have to many tweaks to remember. I am always failed on OTA update. Better way for manual update.

I've read many posts of people's experience, and I am in same situation as you-
I suggest you do unroot before downloading and installing the update. Achieved by finding Voodoo root keeper from Play store. It's a straight forward app, lets you temporarily 'unroot' at the push of a button.
Hope that helps.
It worked! Thanks all!

I'm no expert, but you could use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to temporarily unroot, watch the Lakers game, and then restore root.
Superuser already has a temporary unroot function.

I have an app that refuses to operate fully, because it says that streaming is not allowed on rooted devices.
Is there a way that I can hide rooted status from this app, or make it unrooted as far as the app is concerned? I have not given it root permissions; it just seems to know that the app is rooted.
Thanks!
I've had good luck with OTA rootkeeper, I've been able to watch movies on Google play, that sort of thing.

You can to set your root management program to automatically deny root on request.

Tried OTARootkeepet and app still complained. Even functionally unrooted it seemed to know.

l lost my USB cord that came with my tablet. l can still charge it with an aftermarket charger, but I have no usb connector to plug into a computer. I have a stock unrooted ice cream sandwich tablet. Is there anyway to root it without a USB cord?

I think you can through mobile Odin app. I have not used it but I read somewhere that it works.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app
You can't use mobile Odin because it requires root access. AFAIK, there is no way to root it without USB.

Solution
It is possible. You need to use an app not found on the Play Store, and get it using an APK file. The play store is basically a storage place in the cloud for loads of APKs, and it can install them, too. However you can also download these from the internet and run them to install them.These will let you root your phone with one click in the app. There are many of these available. With every app there is always the risk of bricking your tablet, but this is minimal. If you then want to get a custom ROM, you will want an app called ROM Manager.

Hey dude, first of all, ROM Manager is in the play store. Second, it needs root to flash the recovery.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Find an app that can root for you, then get ROM Manager. You can't post links when you're under 10 posts

Do you know any app that can root? I'd be very interested to find out.

If there is an apk that could root my tablet, i'd be soooo happy...:silly:
I found one on my HTC Hero that did the trick. I don't think it was on the play store though... I think it's called Universal Androot
Framaroot doesn't work. I don't know what other .apk there is to try.

I recently wanted to ROOT my Samsung GT-P7500 and upon trolling the web, I came upon this website. So i went about searching and failng to find a suitable answer, I researched a bit and found an easy way to ROOT my tablet.
Being an owner of 2 Samsung products, Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710) and an Galaxy Express (SGH-I437), I had ROOTED both these cell phones using KingrootV4.82. It's really simple, push button rooting.

Kingroot worked here as well.
