[Q] Phone should not be rooted - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
First of all, I've searched and searched and searched and could not find the solution to my problem.
The company I work for implemented MobileIron mobile device management for access to email. I had a CM9 on my phone and the MobileIron was reporting that my phone is rooted. I removed the Superuser apk from the phone and removed system/sbin/su folder as well. Still reporting it is rooted.
Installed AOKP, tried using SuperSU to permanently unroot, and MobileIron was still reporting the phone is rooted.
I got sick of it so I downloaded stock firmware from samfirmware and flashed that using Odin. MobileIron is STILL reporting that the device is rooted!!!
Is there a possibility that there is still something on the phone which would indicate that my device is rooted, even though it doesn't have root access any more?
My build is: IMM79D.XWLPW
Kernel is: 3.0.15-1056084 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 22 etc etc
Please help!!!
Adi

Delete MobileIron data & cache.
Do NOT wipe in recovery, open the app via task manager.

[Q] Need help with my sgs3 root status

Hey so sorry if i shouldnt have created a new thread this is my first time posting on any forum site...
Basically i rooted my gt19300 with odin a few months ago and a few weeks ago i downloaded an app which said it didnt have root access. so i went to supersu and it said there is no SU binary installed and supersu cannot install it, this is a problem. I then downloaded superuser and tried there binary downloader thing. which said it couldnt get root access. i then downloaded root checker and it says my phone isnt rooted correctly. It was rooted correctly at one point and clearly ive done something that messed it up.
My question is will it brick my phone to just run the rooting process again with odin or will i have to do an unroot process first. if the second way is the way i need to go how do i reset my custom binary counter as triangle away needs root access.
And also do i need to download a newer version of ODIN or anything like that because ive updated my phone firmware?
THANKS HEAPSSS

[Q] Device status modified s3

Hi,
I have been having issues with my samsung keep turning off and not loading past the samsung intro screen so have to send it back. I am pretty sure the motherboard is knackered. The phones rooted and had a custom firmware on, i managed to flash the stock fw/ rom I9300XXELK4_I9300OJKELK5_ILO.zip and bought triangle to reset the counter. My notification pannel is broke and wont load up even with a battery removal which is fine because it will show the phone is broke.
my question is now in settings my device state says modified is that because its still rooted? I have to unroot but will this effect the counter again and if it does how would i reset it again once the phone is unrooted?
Cheers
Fei

Flash stock rom via odin
Root with cf auto root via odin
Run triangle away
Goto superuser app and under settings you can select unroot
Then enter recovery
Then Factory reset
Done 100% stock unmodified with 0 flash counts and normal status
How did you run triangle away if the phone wont boot?

Need Help Rooting My XT912

Hello XDA,
I have been all through the forums, searching for the answer to my question before it came to making a post myself, but with no luck.
I need help rooting my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx.
Previously, I have tried the EternityProject with no success. This is where I first ran into the message "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem" when trying to open the SuperSU app.
After that I tried going to Droidrazrroot.com and downloading what they had. Again, same error message.
FINALLY! I stumbled upon DooMLoRD's easy rooting toolkit and saw that it was tested and confirmed for the Droid Razr. Thinking there would be no more problem, I tried again, yet the same error message popped up when trying to access SuperSU.
So now I come to you all, hoping that you can give me a simple, quick fix for all of this. And hopefully an explanation as to why this happened in the first place.
To clear up the basics:
YES - I have checked USB Debugging
YES - I have checked "Allow mock locations"
YES - My device is connected as a media device (MTP)
YES - I have checked "Unknown sources"
... Any help would be greatly appreciated

Your on jellybean. All of the methods you have posted that you have tried are for ICS. You will have to search for the jellybean root exploit.

I tried this with no luck. I get stuck right before root successful.
I also tried this one with another error message. Does anyone know how I can preform a clean wipe? I think I'll try things like that.
Thanks for everyone's help, it turns out the cord I was using was the problem. When I switched to another cord the Razr_Blade Root worked perfectly. Now I am fully rooted!

[Q] Update Galaxy Note 2 with TWRP without losing FoxFi

Greetings:
I own a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2 S. I rooted it and used TWRP which is running along with superuser and busy box. Still the stock ROM though and I am happy with it that way.
The latest OTA update was pushed out and every 5 days the device asks me to update or defer. I have tried updating several times but it always begins the process then TWRP opens after going through the opening screens and it says the update failed.
I did some reading and learned that if I accept this update I will lose Foxfi, which I use heavily. (I work for a school system that does not let us use the wireless, so I use my device as my hotspot.
Can anyone help me? I would either : a. like to accept the update while keeping the root and Fox Fi. Or b. Stop the update notices. (It's also weird because I was asked to set up a lock screen password and can't figure out how that happened. I'd like to remove it too since it's such a huge pain in the butt.
Is there any way to use TWRP to take the OTA update and still keep root and Fox Fi capability?

I am no where near tech savy enough to know what any of the above means, so would appreciate someone helping me!
Thanks
I must say that this is so far not possible....You can try 4.3 rom released by beans.... It's the same except the knox and locked bootloader.

If I was you, I would not accept the update. I would install the newest TWRP from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045829
Then I would make a back up of your current ROM. Then download a 4.3 ROM from here, (If you want the purest stock it would be Beans Rom that he posted, stock, rooted, no knox stuff). Also, download the Wifi/Modem MJ9 package he posted. Wipe clean x3, then install his 4.3 ROM, then boot to make sure it works, reboot into download mode, Open Odin 3.07, check the PDA box, the select file to place into PDA box (MJ9radio.tar), hit go, wait for it to finish and say pass. The wipe clean again x3, then boot into rom and your baseband for say MJ9 and Build Number should say 4.3. To make sure the MJ9 modem was accepted, you will have service and WIfi will work. If not you will see "Unknown Baseband"

To stop the OTA updater you need to rename or delete the following two files under /system/app and then reboot phone.
FWupgrade.apk to FWupgrade.bak
SDM.apk to SDM.bak
