[Q][Rooted][Stock] Superuser shell bug with Chrome Browser - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

YES I AM AWARE THIS IS A BUG IN SUPERUSER (TO AN EXTENT.
YES I AM AWARE THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE FIX.
YES I AM AWARE THAT THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES.
_________________________________________________________________
Using the Framaroot application, I was able to root my S2 (4.0.4) using the Argonian (I believe that's how it's spelt) method. I started recieving mass toast spam messages that say:
"shell has been granted Superuser access."
However, this was not a gallery issue or root app (the only apps I had were AdAway and Orbot, which was disable) but rather when I'd watch a YouTube video via chrome. I also received it later (after an unroot/reroot) when using GameCIH 2 (GameCIH 1 did not produce this toast.) After that I unrooted once again and uninstalled AdAway, Go Locker, GameCIH 1 and 2 and rebooted to root again via Framaroot. A few times the message spam would cause extreme lag to the phone that would cause the infamour White Screen of Death.
NOTE: My device is NOT rooted as of now and is NOT bricked, It is 100% stock for Kernel, ROM, bootloader etc. I did however, recently unbrick my device and flashed to a stock ROM. Have not messed wiith that since.
Also, side question: Can framaroot brick your phone on reboot?

[Q] Android 4.3 is Blocking a J5 Create Mirror Connection

I just received my J5 Create JUC600 Android Mirror Control device and follows all the instructions to mirror my Verizon Galaxy S4 to Windows 7. During the connection process, it stops and the shield icon notification on my Android says it blocked an app from attempting to reach a restricted area.
I've searched everywhere on the forums trying to solve this, I hear there a bugs in the Samsung KNOX app causing this message to pop up frequently. I went in the app manager and force stopped all KNOX activity and it the connection still gets blocked.
I set the Android to allow apps from unknown sources and checked the debugging mode on. I even did a factory data reset on my Galaxy S4 as I heard this help some users fix a bug in the 4.3 update. Still no success.
Please help! Thanks everyone!
You need ROOT

Bare in mind, the following will void your warranty and failure to follow instructions explicitly could very well brick your device. That being said...
If you haven't already done so, you need to root your phone (instructions can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963806).
Installing SuperSU or Superuser (I highly recommend SuperSU) which ever you prefer will initially fail due to KNOX, easy enough, Go to "Settings", "More", "Application Manager", scroll right to "All" and forc stop each of the four instance of KNOX (as well as clear data where applicable). Go back to your apps list and run SuperSU (or Superuser if you chose to do such). Please note that I do use and have only ever used SuperSU so I am personally not sure if Superuser will work the same. When you start SuperSU it will notify you that ROOT has been blocked by KNOX and ask if you wish to disable it. Select yes, you will have to repeat the steps above afterwards to force stop all instance of KNOX and clear all data. Restart your phone and run a ROOT verifier of your liking to verify that you have ROOT. After this process is complete your J5 Android Mirror will finally work for you.
Samsung phones running 4.3+ with JUC600
Samsung phones running 4.3 and higher have the signal from the JUC600 cable blocked. The latest firmware version will prompt the installation of a different USB driver called the AoA driver in order to get around this issue. As long as the cable's firmware has been updated to 14.01.0124.00.00 and the software has been updated to match this driver should install automatically. You may need to cycle through USB connection types in order to get that driver installed correctly. There will be a notification on the phone's screen that asks if you want to allow juclink to run and you will need to hit ok. From there the mirror should work.

[Q] Security Notice blocking Vroot MJ7

I was able to successfully root using vroot on MJ7 and got the Chinese suoeruser.I verified I had root via Root Checker Basic. When I opened terminal emulator and entered the two line codes, the phone rebooted and I lost root. I did not get SuperSU installed and every time I try to root again via Chinese Vroot the program states I rooted successfully with a blue check mark but the phone is not actually rooted. I downloaded Supersu manually but it is missing binaries. What am I doing wrong? I deleted user data and factory reset the phone from boot menu many times but still I get the same result. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I had not placed the phone in airplane mode initially so I don't know if that made a difference. Now when I try to vroot the phone, I get the security notice stating an attempt to access a secure area of the phone was blocked. Is there a work a round for this? I am really frustrated. All I want is to is to get free wifi tether with my unlimited data plan. If I can do that without root even better.

Samsung Galaxy S3 resetting

Good afternoon all,
I have recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 via kies to Android 4.3. I couldn't do the update over the air as it was rooted. I had to go through and root my phone again through Odin and again all that went fine.
However since doing this I have had to restore my device 2 times as it shuts down every now and then and I find I 'lose' some apps...mainly games, which I find annoying. It also wipes any saved text messages.
At first I thought it was only losing apps that I'd downloaded through other means (i.e. not Play) but it appears not. I still have the apk files stored on the phone and have tried to re-install them but I get a message of 'app not installed'
Can anyone tell me why this is the case? As I have previously said it has only been since updating to Android 4.3. Not sure if it is due to rooting my phone (i'm guessing not).
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Chris

Please use the red report button and ask a mod to move the post.
See multiple posts re OTA and root problems.
Suggest factory reset if that does not fix then flash stock 4.3 through Odin .
I know that I can't do OTA updates... My problem is that the phone will restart, without warning and when it reboots I have lost all my text messages and a few apps. Trying to reinstall the apk files gives me the error 'app not installed'
I have tried factory reset both through the recovery mode and the system settings, but nothing resolves it.
My phone is rooted and runs Android 4.3 which was updated through kies.
The apps it loses are games so that's not a major issue... It's all the text messages.
I have a very similar problem, phone always shuts down and restarts on it's own. A couple of times it has lost some apps but usually it just starts up again fine but it's very annoying. Sometimes it gets stuck in a boot loop too.
A Google search for random reboot or random shut down brings up a lot of results but no solution's, so it seems to be a common problem. It's not just the stock rom either as it still does it when rooted and running other roms.

[Q] Weather Problems, Missing Notifications, Bootloops, and Root Access Issues?

So I'm basically making this a "fix my problems" thread, because I've got a lot of problems, and no solutions.
My phone is rooted running Sense 6 on Android 4.4.2, and ever since I rooted it about a month ago it's been a little... quirky.
For one thing, the stock weather app is no longer animated for me. The scene changes accordingly, but is completely static and doesn't play any sound effects even when the option is checked on. I texted a friend who has the same phone and also has it rooted, and he said his is animated and works just fine. It's more of a minor inconvenience than anything and doesn't bug me too much, but it'd be nice to have it function properly.
A more problematic... problem is that I'm no longer receiving push notifications for Twitter, Snapchat or Instagram in the notification bar. I looked it up and tried revoking access to the Android Twitter app from the web and logging in again, and nothing happened. I'd like to think it's a bug in the newest versions of the apps, but I didn't see any mention of notification issues in the Play Store reviews and the fact that all three stopped working simultaneously seems abnormal to me.
My phone also seems to have picked up an annoying habit of getting itself stuck in a bootloop whenever I reboot the phone. Once it powers on, it will then proceed to reboot itself about four to five times and then continue to function like normal afterwards. The other night it did the same thing, except it rebooted about seven or eight times and THEN stopped.
I have a sneaking suspicion that all of this has something to do with SuperSU. Shortly after I rooted the phone, the app prompted me to update the binary, which I attempted to do using the "update with TWRP/SCM" option that, according to the app, is recommended for HTC devices. My phone then had one of its bootloop episodes, lost root access, and has been doing it ever since. A few days ago I downloaded the latest SuperSU update from the web, transferred it to my phone via USB and flashed it with TWRP. When I booted it back up, SuperSU had vanished from the phone entirely. I reinstalled it from the Play Store and that seemed to do the trick at the time, but now I've suddenly lost root access after not even having touched SuperSU at all. I'm wondering if this affects apps that previously had superuser permissions, such as Battery Doctor. It had been stable until shortly after the root, after which it started behaving erractically - sometimes it works, sometimes opening it from the app drawer will pull up a black screen, and in most cases the widget either doesn't work at all, is extremely delayed, or will simply give the "Battery Doctor has been given superuser permissions for an interactive shell" message and then do nothing. So my question is, are all these problems being caused by a conflicting Play Store and binary version? And if so, how do I update it without screwing my phone up even further?

You need to start over from scratch
post your fastboot getvar all (minus you serial.no and IMEI)
Most likely your using AT&T so if you have s-off you can flash these two and get back two stock. take the OTA Update then re flash recovery and root.
flash this first
http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00101/a1w/4.18.502.7 Custom Firmware.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 4.18.502.7 Custom Firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip 4.18.502.7 Custom Firmware.zip
fastboot reboot bootloader
now stay on the bootloader
and run this RUU from your PC > http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...09_10.26.1718.01L_release_356565_signed_2.exe
Take the Over the air update and your all set to start rooting again.

go to the folder where fastboot and adb are
open a command window (right click / command prompt here)
with the phone plugged into the PC
Type fastboot getvar all
it will output all the specs for your phone
remove the serial no and IMEI when posting it
what if your s-on
I'm having all the exact same problems except I'm 4.3 and s-on. Help please!
Gonna kinda bump this thread a bit because I've got another question - what about the "full unroot" option within SuperSU? Will this help the situation at all, or make it worse?

Losing root after every security update

I am having some issues with the G9 I am working with. I have root using the latest Magisk. But every time a "security update" installs and reboots the phone, I lose root. So I go back into fastboot and reflash the boot img. That solves the problem. But it is a minor nuisance I am trying to workaround. I have tried searching for days, trying to figure out how to STOP system updates. I installed a root service disabler and disabled a few different services.
I still cannot seem to figure out what service is downloading updates. I have already gone into Developer Options and disabled automatic updates. And there was an update waiting that I kept paused. Last night I got the popup reminding me about it. And it was supposed to "remind me later". But instead installed it in the middle of the night.
I could care less about opinions on whether or not to allow updates. I would just like to know what service or file I need to cripple to get it to stop. I want to decide if or when something runs on my phone. Any ideas? Android 9.
And you will lose root after update, it's normal

If you are using a G9, not a G9 Pro, could you please link me to the stuff to root it?
