Hi
I've unrooted my phone because I'm missing SkyGo and also couldn't get updates easily via Kies. Titanium Backup won't even show as an icon, SuperSU gives an error when starting and ROM Toolbox says root access is required. All of this would confirm to me that my phone is not rooted and in addition the phone's status is 'normal'.
So why does SkyGo still tell me my phone is rooted and it won't support rooted devices?
Also, when I connect to KIES to look for updates, why does it tell me my firmware is not supported?
I downloaded stock 4.1.2 ROM from SAMOBILE and the build number is JZO54K.I9300XXEMA1. Baseband version is I9300XXELLA.
Do I need to do anything else?
Thanks, Paul

Thanks for such a speedy response. Being a bit of a novice at all of this, will I lose any data or settings if I factory reset? Do I do this by holding down vol up, home and power or through "Back up and reset" in settings?
Thanks, Paul
you will lose all the apps and data

Ouch - not a good idea then.
Any other suggestions on my original post please?
One the Sky Go post .
Two contact Sky Go developer or forum Sky .
when I connect to KIES to look for updates, why does it tell me my firmware is not supported?
>>>
same answer as always codes match no firmware on the server .Flash stock rom via Odin if you want an update or try the identical multiple same question posts for an answer .

A factory reset after flashing stock firmware is the only thing (if I understand correctly ) you can do.

Thanks for that idea. Will I lose data?
Regarding other threads, I have searched for quite a long time looking for the information on Sky Go and Kies that I need but haven't found solutions. I might be looking in the wrong places, but no luck yet.

It was worth a try, but wiping cache sadly didn't work.

You'll lose data but a factory reset is your only option.

What about Skys own forum ???
jje
I suspect Sky won't help you Unfortunately.
The reason they do not allow access from rooted phones is from a security point of view. .
It is much easier on a rooted phone to find ways of recording from the app etc and sky obviously won't allow that .
So I guess your decision comes down to what is more important to you. ..
The ability to watch Sky Go?
Or the functionality and features of a rooted phone.
I personally chose the latter. ..
There are plenty of ways to skin a fish

Thanks, this worked for me!
Sorry for the subject. Didn’t know how to summarize what happened.
I rooted my phone successfully about a year ago. It worked fine, no problems. A few months later I went to use the WiFi Tether app, and it said tethering started with errors. When I clicked the error it said - Wi-Fi Tether has been denied by SuperUser permissions.
I immediately logged into Titanium Backup Pro and it said root access has failed, followed by this error: Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and included BusyBox, and try again. This attempt was made using the "/system/bin/su" command.
I really haven’t had time to troubleshoot this before, but I have a few days free and was bored. However it's been so long that (1) I can't remember what steps I took to root it the first time, and (2) I’m not sure how to fix it from this point? I started researching how to update to Jellybean, but I need to figure this out before I possibly brick it trying JB.
I'm a little confused as to why a root would no longer work out the blue? Does the carrier (Sprint) send updates similar to iOS? What really confused me is when I power down and plug in the power cord, I still get that black screen, green font, which prompts me to reboot, boot from SD, etc. Assuming that means I can use that screen to boot a ROM and try to re-root it?
I'm a bit lost and not sure where to start...again.
First of all check superuser application.
may be you deleted it accidentally.

When I checked Superuser, it said "Last allowed on 6/23/2012 at 4:47"
The log showes Titanium Backup & WiFi Tether denied.
Is there a user guide for using this SuperUser. I am an IT guy, but need to be approached like a noob.

Whenever this happened to me I just typically reflashed. I think it's a kernal thing. I'm not too sure, but after updating everything all was better. I think I flashed a different kernal by this point. Hope this helps.

Dumb question, but the kernal is the ROM, correct? I'm not even sure which one I used. Sad, huh? Any way I can see that through that initial screen or through Titanium?

Kernals are separate from the Rom, stock has their own, developers had custom ones as well. You can see the kernel type you have in about phone. If a Rom comes with a kernel, they usually point that out. Look into it. I'm not 100% knowledgeable on it.
Hi to everyone, i've got a problem. When i've tried to play pvp tournament on eternity warriors 2 a message tell me that i can't play cause my device is "jailbroken"(i think means rooted). I've tried temp unroot with ota rootkeeper and tried to uninstall super user and reboot phone(it's galaxy note 2 lte, on stock roms, just root with framaroot, when temp unroot, in phone stats my device is "normal" and i can receive ota), but nothing the game tell me the same message. i've got same prob with other games of game evil, but when temp unroot they work.
There is a way to play games and app that not allow root device on root device? with a temp unroot or something like this?
rooted devices/games
The game saves your data to its servers, so no matter if you have a rooted device or not it will show as rooted unless you clear your history of the game from your account
Sucks but that's how it goes for this game.

After a attemp to log into a different device the same problem occurred that I was not able to play pvp while I had a rooted device.
Meaning It's server sided. Needing to find out How to clear that.
Will post in here with further info/fixes If you found a solution yourself please post in here.

Hey there
I hadd my j5 500fn version for a month its on android lollipop 5.1.1
I tried to root it yesterday and it wasnt that nice
I tried rooting by removing google account and enable usb debugging mode and rooted using the odin method with cf root file
As soon as it finished it rebooted with a yellow "set warranty bit:kernel" message on left top of the device name and it all went fine and root checker said it was rooted and could use all root apps but then i tried adding the google account again and restarted my device and then got the custom binary blocked by frp error
I solved that error by flashing the official stock rom again and then i tried rooting again and got the same problem again
It seems like i cant root with a google account and without it i cant install any google play apps
Any suggestion???

?
The question was whether you have enabled OEM unlocking in the development options. If your phone has this option, it must be enabled for you to load a custom recovery that's used with auto root to root, and then it will flash back the original recovery.

Odd. I've rooted dozens of Samsung phones and have not come across this. If you are already logged into Google and then enable OEM unlocking and then root, does it still get blocked?

I dont use a guide to do it i just tried this same method on my old j1 and it worked but ut doesnt seem to work here
Here it is:
Remove google account
Enable oem unlock
Turn off mobile and put it on download mode
Flash the cf auto root with odin
Mobile turns on and it root automatically then reboots
A yellow set bit warranty: kernel message in top of the screen
Until now all is fine root works fine and all but as soon as i enter my google account and reboot i get the custom binary blocked by frp error and have to reflash the official rom again to get it to work

Hello all, I have discovered that my note 20 has been infected with a malware that locks the screen at start. I cant open any apps or settings to enable usb debugging. The KG state is locked and the OEM lock is on as well. I tried sideloading another package but had no luck. What's my best bet to removing the malware from the system apps. I was thinking that I could sideload my own app that would remove it but I don't know any apps like that.

It's reverts to the original factory load.
So you loaded infected firmware?
Samsung did?
