[Q] Rooting and Unrooting & Airwatch - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I plan to root my Samsung Galaxy S Grand(the single SIM edition not the DUAL) to be able to update the phone to 4.3 or 4.4 and to be able to uninstall all the carrier software branded application. I would also the install a custom ROM. In other words I want to make my phone a "Google Play Edition" style, like they did with the HTC ONE & Samsung Galaxy S3. The ROM would then have to be a standard basic android ROM.
I plan to root with Kingo.
Here is then my problem, to be able to receive my work e-mail to my phone I need to have the Airwatch MDM Application installed, which then requires a non-rooted phone to work.
So would I be then able to Root my phone, install a custom ROM and then un-root my phone with the custom ROM and install the Airwatch App and getting it to work?
Anyone has any tips to offer? Is there a great guide of how to install a new ROM? Thanks!

First thing the kingo android root is the best rooting software in my opinion even though there is no air play in it so i contact them and told that they will have a new update for the software
so, if you want a custom rom on your device then go to google play an type in rom manager or goo manager both are the same
for any inquiries just mail me a message or just replay it:laugh::laugh::laugh:

I have the same challenge. So far I was able to succesfully use Airwatch on custom roms up to 4.2.2 on my Galaxy S4. After installing and tweaking the custom rom you need to remove root from the rom. From then onwards Airwatch is fine. As soon as you root again Airwatch will detect it and disconnect your phone from the service.
On the S4 on Android 4.3 and 4.4 roms Airwatch wants to use the Knox containers which is only available on stock firmware.
Any custom rom will fail therefore because Knox will be disabled on custom roms.
I am not sure if Knox will be part of the firmware on your phone as well, if not, you can try the approach above with removing root before start using Airwatch

I know this is an old thread, but for anybody who stumbles across it, I have created a module that should fix these issues:

Android Development for the Samsung Stratosphere II SCH-i415?

Great phone even in stock form. Its only been on the market for about a month so I doubt there are any custom ROMs out there for it yet, but I am sure folks are already working towards that. In any event I would like to root the device. I've tried superoneclick and Im getting stuck on step 7, so its recommended to do a manual root at this point. I am curious if anyone else has been able to root this device and if so, whats the best method? Are there any custom Jelly Bean ROMs out there for it yet?
Also - to the moderators, can we add a section for this phone? I cant see it listed in any of the forums yet. Thanks!
I have been looking around for a method to root the Samsung Stratosphere II with no luck yet. It is the best QWERTY phone out there. I've been surprised at how little buzz it's been generating. I blame Verizon for such a horrible launch and lackluster demand.
I definitely want custom ROM control of the phone as I intend to use it for years.
Yeah its a great phone, very fast and responsive. I'd like to get Jelly bean on it and see how it runs. Mods, can we get a sub forum set up for this phone? It would be great to get development started as soon as possible. Any suggestions on root or pushing superuser to this? Think I can use the stock recovery to push su and busybox?
Mods? Are you out there?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122682 says it can root your phone
Barring that, I've read you can't flash to your recovery partition with odin, but you should be able to flash to the system partition. You should be able to dump out a stock odin image and manually root it and then repackage it as a tar. pm me for some pointers on how to do that.
i just checked for a software update on my wife's Stratosphere II SCH-i415 and there is one. I live in NC the update was under settings/about device/ software update. its form Verizon size 506.6 MB. is there a way to pull it before it installs? maybe a root method. I installed it. could not wait. well its jellybean went from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 baseband 1415vrlj2 to i415vrbma3 kernel was 3.0.8-1157001 to 3.0.31-947060
Just a bump, because the device has a working root method for OTA JB devices, and it could use CWM Recovery support as well as Google Wallet porting and some custom ROMs... the usual flurry of activity around an Android device with root.

rom
4.0.4 Does any one have stock rom for that version for SS2

[Q] unroot with blekota?

Hi I have searched here and google but can't find a definite answer as I think it will be rom specific. Also annoying as my old account had enough posts to go straight to rom forum but cant access and its registered to a closed email address
Anyway, I have an s3 gt i9300 (international version - English Virgin mobile) and I have it rooted with Blekota's S5 lite V7.0 rom installed. Everything is working as it should etc and I would really like to keep the ROM. But in order to use my mobile banking app (Barclays) it needs to be unrooted. Is it possible with this ROM? I know some require root access to run and some don't.
Or is there a way of fooling the app that the phone is not rooted?
Is there a way I can safely unroot and if there are glitches just root again?
Should of said I have I have tried root cloak but doesn't work and I hit the unroot in SuperSU but it just hangs (waited 20 mins).

[Q] Rooting and Installing Custom ROM

Hello,
I've been reading and doing some research and I just wanted to clear up a few things before I went ahead and rooted.
I just bought the T-mobile Galaxy S5 and it came with Android 5.0. and baseband G900TUVU1DOB1. The main reason I want to root is due to the battery drain issues with Lollipop. I heard Twi5ted lollipop ROM is pretty good so wanted to give that one a chance!
1. Rooting - I'm assuming I need to use ODIN and flash back to Kit Kat first? After that, I can use TowelRoot to obtain root, get super user, and flash CWM? My only question with this process if it trips the Knox counter? Do you guys really care if you trip the counter or not? The reason I care is because I want to use Samsung Pay if it ever comes to the S5 and I heard that's not possible if the knox counter is tripped.
2. Flashing Custom ROMs - I'm assuming I can just flash Twi5ted's custom rom via CWM without any issues. However, I saw there was something called MultiSystem. Do you guys use it? Is it worth going that route instead? It seems like you can use it to flash different ROMS at the same time. Do the ROMs run slower because it's not on the internal storage device?
3. Files - Where do I get the stock version of kit kat that I can flash via ODIN? Where do I get CWM?
Thanks,
Indian

Well, I wouldn't go with MultiSystem. I've been flashing roms and rooting phones for a few years now and MultiSystem looks like something a developer might use to test a rom while having a working rom. As far as the Knox counter being tripped. Of course I tripped mine about a month after I got my S5. Google Wallet works fine. Yeah, Samsung Pay probably won't work on a rooted phone.
As for where to get what you need, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../how-to-how-to-root-root-g900tuvd0b1-t3042249 He gives good directions how to root your phone and tells you where to get what he doesn't have.

Easy root method - upgrade or not

Hi,
I have a fresh , not upgraded Galaxy S6 Edge in its box.
Currently I use my S5 rooted without any issues. As I like to use my phones rooted, I'd like to root this one as well.
But I am not sure which root method is easily applicable with minimum limitations.
For example, I need to use Samsung Allshare cast dongle and it needs original recovery image.
So I prefer to root without recovery change , or if I have to change recovery, I'd like to revert it back to original.
So, how should I root my S6 Edge ?
And, as it is not upgraded yet, should I root then upgrade or upgrade then root ? Which one first ?
Thanks.
Btw, my device is G925FQ , sold in Turkey specificly.
Hi,
I'd appreciate any ideas.
Thanks.

Custom ROM without root possible?

Hey,
i always rooted my old phones to get the latest android versions when they were out of support. Now my bank told me i need to use phototan, but i don't want this app on my daily phone. So i thought i can use one of my old once and just install that app. Since there is no need to have internet access to use the app, that'd work. But the problem is, that the app requires Android 5+ and does not accept rooted phones. My old one has 4.2.2 so is it possible to get a custom rom without root? Or do i always need root with custom roms?
And if it is possible, all (or at least the most) custom roms come automatically with root, how can i remove it?

Flash magisk and flash magisk uninstaller to remove root from pre-rooted roms..
