[Q] Slim bean 4.2.2 - unroot - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I really like the slim bean rom.
However, I would like to unroot my phone.
Can I unroot my phone and still keep slim bean?
If yes, how?
Thanks for your help!

in the superuser app settings

Thanks Glebun!
However, it is already set to disabled.
For example my Good for Enterprise app still fails the compliance check.
So I would like to know if I can completely unroot my phone while still keeping Slim Bean.

what superuser app are you using? SuperSU allows for a full unroot

Its built into settings

Exactly.
I can't find a superuser.apk on my phone.
It's not visible in as an app anywhere.
There is no option to uninstall if I open superuser via the settigns - superuser menu..
I've searched the internet to no end and I'm getting more and more confused.
Hope you can help.

get supersu from play then

I did install supersu, but again installing it and then uninstalling it still leaves me with the "# Superuser" setting in the settings menu and it's still rooted.
By the way: I just installed another superuser app (I think it is from the CM mod) and I get a notice saying "Normal, the 'su' file needs to be edited. Choose an installation method. 'Via recovery' is recommended for HTC-devices.
So no succes there.

installing and the uninstalling it will have no effect. read my post - supersu has a setting for a full unroot, use it

root consists of 2 elements
1) The app (or settings) which is a gateway to root if you like, but not actually root itself
2) The SU binary /system/bin/su. This is what actually gives root. The above just allows or denies root access. Using one of the superuser apps, you should be able to unroot, removing this. The settings menu will always remain but means nothing.
You may just be able to use a file manager with root permissions to delete the binary.

that is what I meant

Guys: you're the best!
Turns out that I had to reboot (duh) before the change took effect.
Now I have slimbean 4.2.2 unrooted and can make use of Good for Enterprise.
Thanks a bunch!
A small summary:
1. Install SuperSU.
2. Use the "Full unroot" function of SuperSU.
3. Reboot :laugh:

Hide root DME (Excitor)

Hello,
I wish to install (and use) the application DME Excitor (corporate emails) but it is detecting the root in some way.
I have a i9100 device with cm9.1 (latest stable one) & siyah kernel 5.0.1.
I've also made sure (using ExTweaks) that the kernel is not re-rooting the device every boot.
I've tried to remove the root using "Hide my root" / "ExTweaks" / "SuperSU" - and others that say they will hide the root - so far with no success!!!
Can you please suggest how to prevent DME from detecting my root?
I really don't mind unrooting the device - but please do not suggest me to return to stock!
Any help will be highly appreciated! :good::good::good:

sorry - no success yet
In case you find any way, please let me know
In my case it was a combination of:
1. Install SuperSU only on /data, not on /system - there's an option for that in SuperSU
2. Uncheck "Enable Superuser" in SuperSU settings
3. Reboot device

Did you tried it with DME ?
By default, installing the SuperSU from the play store is in '/data' (you can later change that option in settings to be set on '/system')
Anyway, tried that, didn't worked.
Any help would be highly appreciated. :good:
I wouldn't have posted the solution above if I hadn't tried it first with the program in question (DME). Make sure there's no /system/app/Superuser.apk (by installing SuperSU / Superuser only on /data) and also make sure to uncheck the "Enable Superuser" option within SuperSU.

Hi,
First of all thanks for trying to help.
There's no any Superuser.apk in /system/app/ (that's the first thing I've checked).
And I did made sure to uncheck the "Enable Superuser" option within SuperSU.
Still doesn't work.
If you don't mind me asking, could you please provide me with more details on your firmware?
Which rom are you using (is it Cyanogenmod)?
Special kernel?
CWM ?
Any details would help.
And once again, thanks!
Stock Samsung (XWLSS) firmware rooted via SuperSU CWM method, then uninstalled SuperSU via "Reinstall" option in SuperSU, then install SuperSU from the Play store, then uncheck the "Enable Superuser" option in SuperSU, then reboot. At this point DME will start and ask for credentials.

Thanks for the info.
I was afraid that you would note you're using a rooted stock firmware.
The thing is that by going back to stock rom, there's no need to root it and then unroot it to use the DME (simply use the stock firmware unrooted).
The first post on this thread was a question on how to use the DME on different rom than the stock one (such as CM).
After that being said, I would like to thank you for trying, but this didn't help me, since I wish to use the Cyanogenmod rom and DME together.
If you still have any suggestions on how to use the DME with a non-stock rom, I would be more than happy to hear.
I don't see how running CM is any different than running official. You should check that after disabling Superuser from within SuperSU that there is no "su" binary anywhere within the directories in the PATH variable (i.e. /system/bin or /system/xbin).
Is dual booting a stock/cm setup possible, and would that serve as a "workaround"?
Edit...just thought....even if possible, the dual boot kernel would probably give the game away....

Removing superuser / restoring root

Hi,
Please help, I did rsd, flashed retail.en.EU, then did OTA from SD. Everything works great, but I lost my root. (Voodoo keeper didnt worked somehow). Voodoo shows that: su installed - YES, device rooted - YES, root permission granted - NO, system supports root protection - YES, protected SU copy available - NO. Only button I can hit in voodoo is "protect root" and then it tells "root su protected". But the thing is that Superuser does not allow (not even asks) any superuser permission to no apps. And every other root checker apps states that device isnt rooted. So I want to ask You guys:
Is there some way to restore the root I had? And if no:
How to delete/uninstall/remove Superuser from my system. Because SU was installed during the root process, and there is no option to uninstall it. Just disable, uninstall updates.
BIG THANKS!

At the main tab the superusers app, tap on the application, on the bottom , tap on the trash button, it will forget the superusers access you have granted
Lastly, try to open the app

Boot Menu Manager, you need root to install that recovery
So you must wait for the developers to make a root program so you can root your phone

I was originally rooted on the stock 2.1 and had the SuperUser app as well. However, after upgrading, Root Checker says I'm not rooted anymore?
try opening up SU if its not installed and update the binaries if that doesnt work flash the SU zip if your still having errors try going into your settings and grant SU rights to whats needed

- I have to uninstall superUser, but I can't do that anymore because I flashed zip?
Try dirty flashing the rom flash again and wipe dalvik and cache a d reboot then open rom manager and click fix permission from within the app. If that doesn't work download busy box installer that should update your binaries it's weird issue your having
EDIT: i found this for you didn't realize earlier that 4.3 SU is different than before Root access works in another way in 4.3 then it was before. It is disabled by default. If you want to have root access go into your Superuser application or in Settings->Developer options and enable it. Please note as well that currently some third party kernels are around which may break root.

In slim rom go to
System settings-> advanced options -> Super User ->top right key for settings
then change super user access for your APPS
and choose declared permission

This worked like a charm. Thank you.
Just in case, if anyone makes these changes to their Super User settings, and Super SU bypasses and deny's access automatically, just go back to the settings again and Long Press whatever was denied and "Allow" it.
Another tip, I personally just went ahead and clicked on Auto-Allow so I don't have to go back to the settings so much.

[Q] CleanMaster Root Access Failed

I have already given root access to the app Clean Master. Under the 'Autostart Manager' page, I tried to remove apps that autostart by itself. However, the app pop out a message indicating 'Failed to Grant Root' and reminded me to grant root access.
I went back to the superuser app, it was indicated that root access has been granted.
Any way to solve this problem?
I have been having this same issue on rooted stock gs4. It's temperamental when it comes to root I've noticed. One day I was able to turn it app off of auto start and when I installed a new app it wouldn't let me do it and su says I'm granted
I'm experiencing the same issues. Auto Start Manager is the only feature that has this issue.

I always face this issue also, what I do as a temporary fix is, go to the SuperSU app, then "Forget" Clean Master, open Clean Master and try to disable an app from Auto starting, grant root and the app will be disabled I hope it works for you too
I am glad I am not the only one having this issue. I recently updated an app via the play store and clean master told me it was auto starting. I tried to block it, but it keeps telling me root access failed and to grant it. Well I've granted it root 18 times now and it still says root failed. I have tried everything to get it to work...clear logs, tell superSU to forget clean master, give it global default, etc. Nothing seems to work and it's pissing me off.
Unfortunately this does not work for me.
I have granted root access according to SuperSU Pro however when trying to stop autostarting apps in Clean Master it reminds me to allow access.
I even get a popup massage from SU stating that the app got granted root access.
Whats happening here? Does anyone have a work around?
Deleting Cleanmaster in SuperSU doesnt help. It is always the same unfortunately.
Best Regards
J
I too also have problems with the autostart function in Clean Master on my Optimus Zone II
First of all, if you've root then you shouldn't use clean master. That's so naive.
About the permissions. Even after root your system partition stays in read only mode. I'm guessing this okay. You should check that out first.

Ok, (I know Im gunna reget this), but why?, in your option, should Clean Master NOT be used, since it need so many "root" functions in order to work? Ive used it for years. Rooted or no, (mostly rooted), and why do all the "autostart" apks, (ROM Toolbox, Autostarts, Autostart Manager,etc) work just fine. I've tryied it with r-w on system on, sooooo....next...?

I can't argue over this. Best options for you 1. Root Cleaner (high priority) 2. SD Maid Pro (medium priority)
See the difference yourself.
fix?
Has anyone figured out what the issue is here? It worked just fine on cm12 but stock Lilli nope. Root issues for sure it must have something to do with system partition. Has anyone fixed this issue?

Yep its working again. I tried 2.48 cuz somebody said it worked for them, but i had no luck there. 2.49 did the trick, thx for letting us know in the thread.
