I'm on NC5 with MK2 bootloaders and my new company requires that I use Good For Enterprise as my email client. I've tried the Xposed module from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040163 along with an older version of Good as suggested, but I can't get it to work. I hate to give up root, but I have to be able to get work email on my phone so now I'm planning on removing Root. I really don't want to flash stock files if I don't have to because I at least have all the bloatware removed now and I know I can't do that if I flash stock without root.
So my question is what can i do to keep my current system as is, but remove ALL traces of Root? Is it as simple as going into SuperSU and doing a Full Unroot? I'm asking first rather than trying it because each time Good detects Root I have to request a new activation key and I've already done that once so I don't want to have to do it again if it's more complicated than that.
Also, will I have any issues with Knox after doing this?
Thanks
There is an Xposed module that will allow you to "trick" whatever app you want to think you're UNrooted but it's name escapes my memory at this moment...

You can do the Full Unroot, but first you must remove Busybox if it's installed.
THEN you can use SuperSU full unroot, then unistall SuperSU Pro (if you have it), then uninstall SuperSU.
The unroot.sh script that comes with Saferoot will get rid of busybox and leave you rooted so you can uninstall SuperSU.
Caution: if SuperSU is installed as a system app (/system/app/Superuser.apk) then you can't uninstall it using the application manager.
In that case, removing SuperSU by hand may be necessary.

I tried the Xposed module, which is posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040163 and I can't get it to work. I also can't get a response on that thread to tell me if I did something wrong. I simply installed the Xposed module and then installed a previous version of Good that others reported as working with the module. Not sure if I'm supposed to do anything in Xposed other than just install the module?
Thanks

OK dumb user error. I'm guessing this works a lot better if the Xposed installer is actually installed. I had forgotten to reinstall it after I upgraded to 4.4.2 and only the Wanam module was installed. Hopefully that will solve my issue.
Thanks for the responses.

I used Towelroot and KindleFree to root my HDX and install Google apps. I did not disable OTA in KindleFee.
Now when I check for updates, it says "Last updated failed", when I try to set off an alarms off Amazon's site it fails and it doesn't locate the HDX.
I suspect that either Towelroot or KindleFree disabled something, but just to make sure, do they disable something by default that prevents those three things from working? Wanna make sure something else isn't wrong with my device.
well

Well I am guessing if you say you have gapps working that you had to install hdxposed module and framework... If you had read OP of the modification that you installed you would know already that the 1.3 version blocks ota, and probably as a side effect blocks a couple of other Amazon exclusive services .

Yes, I totally forgot that I installed that as well! It's what's doing it. I posted in that thread, but any idea what it does to disable OTA? I tried completely removing it modules, Xposed and ran the script to enable OTA, but it still doesn't work.

What is your current system ?
I recently rooted my phone and tried to install my Direct TV app to download some of my dvr but says it can because phone is rooted. Is there anyway around this? Anybody know of more apps that might cause the same problem.

You can get around it by using the root cloak xposed module. I don't think Softcard will work while rooted either but I could be mistaken about that.
I found a genie go apk but didnt work either. Obvious my search skills suck. Could you like me to what you are talking about?

RootCloak Xposed module here
Their site is experiencing slow response time, so just be patient.
Once you dl the apk and install it will ask to enable it in Xposed, then you'll reboot and be set once rebooted-
I'm going real simple with the search.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amphoras.hidemyroot
I never installed the su binary. I just rooted and renamed the apk. Is that good enough? I want to do as little as possible in regards to screwing with system files.
You need to install the binary just install SuperSU from the market. Then install findmyroot. It actually temp unroots on the fly just go back in when your done with the app that doesn't like root. Click the button and your rooted again. Super simple even a trained monkey could do it.

Why do you need root? It sounds like you don't want to mess with your phone or install stuff. That's what people usually do when they get root.
If you really want to keep root, then you have already been given the best, easiest, and safest solution to your question. Install the XPOSED framework (http://repo.xposed.info/) and then install the RootCloak module (http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak).
I was debating on whether or not this was a device-specific issue or just snapchat being a poopy app, but I think I saw Giga mention this in the thread about Tigerhoods' TWRP backup so I'm inclined to believe this is a z3v-specific issue.
Well, either way, I can't get past login on Snapchat, on my rooted 5.1.1 z3v. Did the whole nine yards-- un/reinstall, remove app data, even went so far as factory resetting, all to no avail. Password is correct cause I've reset it to something I remember... Anyone know why this could be happening, and is there a fix for it? Thanks in advance.
(I'm running Tigerhoods' flashable, haven't gone up to the build with the messages fix yet. If that fixes it, I'm about to look like a massive dummy... But it wouldn't hurt to be sure, right?)
It's a security thing with Snapchat, the same with how Android Pay doesn't work. If it involves money, then the devs don't want the risk of rooting to be an issue for customers in having some hacking crisis.
I don't even know why Snapchat went that way, but I haven't been able to use Snapchat for months. It's also backwards too being an issue on the Z3v since my brother's HTC One M8 is rooted and bootloader unlocked, but can use Snapchat perfectly fine.
Do you have xposed installed? If so uninstall it then login to snapchat. Reinstall xposed..

Just the installer or the whole framework itself?
I'd like to make sure this actually works instead of being just a throwaway answer because reinstalling xposed to no avail would be really aggravating considering what I've done to try and fix this so far...

Just use the zip to uninstall the framework in recovery, wipe cache, reboot, install snapchat, login. Once you are logged in you can go back into recovery and flash xposed framework. You don't have to remove any of your apps for xposed. It worked for me. It also worked with android pay.

It wasn't quite as effective for Android Pay but it did work for Snapchat. Thanks a ton!

No problem
The problem is actually about google play services. If you disable the permissions of google play services app, snapchat won't work.
Sounds simple, and it probably is, but could someone walk me through the uninstallation process? The "uninstall" button in the app is gray (can't click it) and I can't find the zip mentioned.
Also, would all of this have something to do why the snapchat beta can't be accessed?

Get the appropriate unistaller zip from here
Flash it, wipe cache & dalvik, reboot, login to SC, once logged in, reboot back to recovery and flash xposed framework zip again, wipe cache & dalvik, reboot.
Everything should be fine.
Remember, if you log out from SC , you'll have to do all this again.
Its Xposed. It wont let you login if you have it. You need to uninstall xposed framework and installer and then install snapchat and login. Then just make a titanium backup. If you switch ROMs, you can just install it without any issues.
Also what worked for me is to take a backup of Snapchat in Titanium Backup with it's data (when you're logged in) and then when you restore from TB with data on a rooted phone and/or with xposed you should be logged in when you open it. Not sure if they will work this out, but has worked for me for a while (didn't even realise Snapchat had blocked xposed and root for months after they did it because of this).
So avoids all this uninstall / reinstall of xposed and saves you time
I did the same technique with android pay, but yea, no dice. Has anyone else been able to get this feature back? Kinda ironic with the 2gb deal Verizon has going right now...

I followed the uninstall xposed and login then reinstall method. I also use rootcloak which I tried before uninstalling xposed. It worked for me.

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925W8 and had SuperSU root access and XPosed Framework installed. I am now attempting to remove all of it so that I can pass Google's safetynet helper test. I have tried numerous things, but the safetynet result is always:
SafetyNet Request: Success
Response Validation: Success
CTS Profile Match: False
I first attempted to remove Root by clicking "Completely remove root" within SuperSU. After doing this, Response Validation was false, which, after doing some research, I learned was caused by XPosed Framework. I then boot into TWRP recovery and flash the Xposed uninstaller. This causes my phone to boot loop, forcing me to restore a NAND backup to before I removed anything. I then try to flash the XPosed Uninstaller BEFORE removing root access and it runs successfully. After this, I use SuperSU to completely remove all root, which also runs successfully then give the phone a reboot removing the app entirely. This is when I receive the SafetyNet Helper response above stating CTS Profile match is false. I'm not sure how to fix this error.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated! Thank you
Edit: I have no idea why this thread appeared twice...sorry I can't seem to delete one of them
Er.. Any ideas?
Is this to play PokemonGo? If so there's a mod with instructions. Unless that's what you're trying to do...you might need to flash factory images if Xposed is stuck. Backup your pictures and stuff and go back to stock then use that mod. It works well but no Xposed which is a good thing IMO!

Hi, thanks so much for replying! Yes..it is for pokemon go. Is the mod you're talking about the Magisk one? If so, that is what I originally wanted to do, but flashing Magisk caused my phone to be stuck in a bootloop and forced me to flash a NAND Backup. This was after first flashing the xposed uninstaller and uninstalling SuperSU. So I gave up on root...truth be told I don't use the root apps too much anyway so it isnt a big loss for me. I'm also already on Stock firmware so I'm not sure why I can't pass the SafetyNet Test. Do I have any other options than wiping my phone clean?

Well only data will be gone you need a full system wipe....
Or go delete the su files...use file manager to find them but just delete in recovery using TWRP with the location you searched..I don't think you can search in recovery without the terminal but you can do it all in recovery.
or if you completely flash factory image you can just not root
Hope this helps!

Hello, I attempted to use ES File Explorer to search both the system/bin directory and the system/xbin directories. system/bin does not have the "busybox" or "su" files in them, so I assume they were removed when I uninstalled SuperSU. /system/xbin however does have these two files, but I am unable to delete them. I get the error "Cannot delete file". I'm guessing this is because I've already unrooted?
I then opened the terminal in my TWRP Recovery, however when changing directories into the system folder, the terminal shows that it is empty. when using ls -la, only two files are there, both called root and neither can be opened. rm -r /system/xbin/busybox does nothing either, it claims there's no such directory. Any suggestions? or just wipe?
Hello guys!
If you update to the latest Magisk version (v16.4), you will notice that it will now pass SafetyNet check.
Check attached screenshots!

I think it's just as good as SuperSU in handling root apps. The way Magisk stands out though is the modules. I would recommend that you install only the magisk manager (it does not mess with anything in your phone if you just install it), and browse through the list of modules it has. It's very similar to the way modules in xposed look like. Maybe you can find some interesting functionality in there.
I am using the greenify module (works much like boost mode on xposed), busybox, adblocker, systemiser (turns user apps in sys apps), debloater (completely uninstall user apps). There's a ton of mods though, I don't even understand what most actually do.
Keep in mind that having xposed installed will break safetynet no matter what. Magisk can't hide it.

Edit: i moved this issue to the Q&A and help section since more issues keep coming
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/finally-decided-to-switch-supersu-to-t3787201
just switched to latest stock rom (1.2.0 B10) and installed magisk (16.4). it works and safetynet passes. the problem i got now is that the greenify module fails to install in magisk (see screenshot)
do i gotta flash the module through TWRP maybe? still a newbie to magisk since the axon 7 is the first phone to have it working
EDIT: for some reason magisk doesn't remember which apps have requested root after a reboot. everytime i reboot i get a prompt to allow root access to all my root apps (like greenify). idk why this is happening. i mean, root itself is working as it should. i already uninstalled bloatware and disabled/freezed things like the powermanagement
I'm interested in knowing where Magisk is at
