There's this terrible fashion going around in the UK of official apps from certain companies not working on rooted devices.
Then here comes ioroot which gracefully roots your device and guess what, does it in such a way that it isn't detected by any app, right out of the box.
I installed CM11 and unfortunately, CM11 does it wrong. I can't run any of the apps now, and some of them are quite important. For example, the Three network has an app called Three inTouch which lets you make calls over Wi-Fi (but through your normal number) in places where there is no mobile reception. It's kind of like your own personal femtocel. The app doesn't work with root.
Tried all the ways out there to hide root, it would seem none work on CM11.
This was just a heads-up. If hiding root is important for you, go with stock and ioroot and NOT CM11.

Voted #1 thread for 100% nonsense.
Seriously, this is utter complete nonsense. The root detection is done on the STOCK ROM. There's no "root detection" happening when CM11 is installed. Period.

The root detection he is referring to is done by the apps not the system...he is saying that the method io root uses cloaks that root from being detected and root is visible to these apps in cm basically making them unusable... Sadly there are a lot of apps now that check for root and won't run due to being "unsafe".

Yes, it eventually comes down to that, and it seems to work about 50% of the time (as in half the apps still detect root even with RootCloak).
RootCloak through Cydia doesn't seem to work at all. Or in other words, I didn't manage to get Cydia running on CM11.
However, Xposed is not without security risks, more so than having root. Plus, I'd really love me some ART runtime right about now, but the Xposed Framwork dev won't be updating it until it gets released officially later this year with the Android L OS.
Ah well, life can't be perfect. I'm not condemning CM11 god now, I'm just wondering, what's different between the two methods of rooting because really, ioroot just worked out of the box.
It rooted the phone and I was prepared to resort to other hiding methods but I didn't need any.

Hi
Just wanted to know why would SGS2 Users want to root their phones ?
Cause
1. Its one of the fastest devices out there
2. Its on latest Gingerbread ( honeycomb yes but not big deal yet and Icecream Roms not out yet)
3. If you don't like touchwiz you can go for launcherpro or ADW launcher or any of those.
People nomally would root if their devices haven't got the official latest software updates or to squeeze a bit more juice out of their ageing devices like my Hero which has been rooted and booted a hundred times.
The reason for my asking is I am considering buying this or the HTC sensation (locked bootloader I know) and would know what benefit it would be for rooting the SGS2 NOW.....
I understand when Icecream Sandwich is out and about it would make sense but is it really worth rootind your brand new Device ?
Or have we become Flash-o-holics addcited to XDA's and Cyanogens ROMs that we HAVE to ROOT and FLASH and have those sleepless nights to test out the new roms
The reason I've rooted mine is to use apps that require root (cachmate, root explorer, titanium backup etc) and also to freeze via Titanium Backup the apps and services I don't use, which should lead to better battery life if they aren't running in the background
That's pretty much it ^
Not rooted yet but 100% sure im going to (unless i get a brick)
Reasons :
-Full read/write access to the system folder.
-Recoveries : Nandroid backup, flashable zips, wipe battery stats all that good stuff that comes with a recovery (this is what im waiting for then ill root)
-The apps as mentioned earlyer (titanium, addfree, root explorer and many more)
hmm thats all i can think of at the mo.
I rooted it, as I needed adb push to /system for quick adding of new files to my ROM
No real reason to root it when you use it as a normal user.

Rooting is nothing to do with firmware or launchers its gaining a higher degree of ROOT access on the phones operating system .
To let certain apps operate at a deeper level than is allowed as posted root explorer titanium etc ..
Rooting will invalidate your warranty .

Err, no. For deploying custom firmware you need an unlocked bootloader, not root. Two quite different things, really.

Locked bootloader and /system write-protected below the OS level. If you care about modding and tinkering at all stay away from newer HTC phones. And since you needed to ask I'm guessing you do.
Yes, I know they'll probably/maybe be hacked some time - but why bother when other manufacturers are much more dev friendly? Heck, even S-E seem to be getting it ...
Rooting will really bring more advanced feature. By rooting you can access to the root system of the phone, thus you can fully control your phone. You can control the permission when you install the apps. You can install apps that need root access.
To deal with apps that request permissions that they normally shouldn't request.
I rooted my device to show off to friends who havent rooted it
Why? To be able to use Privacy Guard and stop intrusion from Google and half of all app devs. For me this is more than enough to root your device. Also, to get rid of all the Samsung bloatware such as social hub and other junks.

My job gives me a Samsing S4 from Verizon that is filled with bloat. I have to manually go in and disable everything which takes about 4 hours or so. I am looking for an app that can do it for me but it needs to be a well known app not something that somebody just posts an apk. Any auggestions?
We are not allowed to root the phones. It would be great if I could put a googe play edition or developer edition rom on it or something but I don't think that's possible.

You will have to root your phone for all this. You can only flash stock rom on the device without rooting it.
What bloat wares are we talking about specifically? Do you mean all the S-voice/S-Note/Air gestures??
They can be activated and deactivated from the pull down menu. Other things need to be disabled manually!There is no work around this without root. You can try the widgets on the screen that allow you to disable wi-fi and bluetooth but its nothing new than what samsung offers from the pulldown menu

You can't remove system apps without root. Clean Master has a function to remove bloat if you're rooted. I don't know if this is changed to disabling if you're not rooted, because my devices are rooted. I seem to remember a previous version of Clean Master had something like that. It merely took you to the app info scree, one at a time, but at least it did it sequentially instead of you having to hunt for each one on your own. Maybe that still exists.
Since Android 4.1, many bloatware type apps can just be disabled via the the built-in Application Manager in your Settings app. Disabling it will hide it from the launcher and make it so it does not run, essentially doing the same thing as uninstalling it. It is better this way because some phones will not properly update if something is modified or removed from the /system partition. Also worth noting in regards to this as it is a popular misconception, removing these unwanted apps will not provide you with more usable storage as they are contained in /system/app and the apps you install via the Play Store or 3rd party sources will only install to /data/app unless rooted and moved.
That being said, TowelRoot is a newer rooting method for many newer phones running 4.4+(especially Galaxies like the S4 and Note 3). This root method is done via an app on the phone and only takes seconds and does not trip Knox. You could root, freeze what you needed and then unroot without anyone the wiser, though, of course, this is done at your own risk - like any other mod.

Yes you can disable them but it takes about 4 hours to do it each time. There's a lot of them. About 95% of stuff needs to be disabled.
Towelroot looks great unfortunately I am not able to root the phone. They don't use knox. I can do anything but root the phone really. I really just want vanilla android I'm a bit sick of touchwiz. I'd love to just flash to the developer edition or something.

The S4s bootloader is locked so basically not a lot to choose from. And as others have mentioned you need root to gain access to remove bloatware. Sadly samsung phones on VZW are filled with it as well as many other phones, it's not limited to just samsung.
And navigator may be better than Google maps but maps is free and having been a former user of both NFL mobile (when it was free) and navigator I'm happy I got rid of both of them

Your right he has long left development when most used x posed. And with Google's new security it will be almost impossible to hide root.
Any news on this? I m still stuck on KK, Root Cloak doesn't work properly on Android L, at some point the app will just gives FC. Any other alternative?
I'd really like to know this as well. Overly paranoid corporations these days seem to be implementing root check security thus stonewalling anyone with a rooted device. This puts just about everyone running rooted Lollipop at a huge disadvantage when trying run anything from banking apps to games.
We need to put up the bat signal or something and call all devs here on XDA to arms bc this really sucks!
Rootcloak on Xperia Z Lollipop stopped working too. Hopefully someone will come up with a fix soon.

Still no luck till today?
This is what I'm mostly missing on my OnePlus One. Can't use my mobile payment app (UGO Wallet) without something like root cloak Wonder if there's a quick and easy way to unroot when I want to use it, an re-root when I'm done using the app.
Fastest way I have this moment is to unroot via SuperSU, then re-root via TWRP.

MrElectrifyer, I might have a solution for you. I was in the same boat as you. I am now able to use UGO Wallet with root. Result could vary because of hardware and OS.
My phone: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
OS: Android Lollipop 5.1.1
Custom ROM: [ROM][G920/5 ○ 5.1.1 ○ 29AUG] XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.3
Install xposed Framework and RootCloak v1.3 (Do not use v1.4 it will crash the UGO Wallet app)
1. Open RootCloak, Add/Remove "com.ugo.mobilewallet"
2. Clear cache, clear data and force stop UGO Wallet
3.Restart phone
You should now be able to get pass the root detected when UGO Wallet app is launched.
I encountered one more in app error, which was device hardware incompatible because I was using a US ROM. I simply edited my build.prop file to a supported Model number "ro.product.model=SM-G925W8"
Best of luck
Apparently it supports lollipop 5.0+ now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-rootcloak-completely-hide-root-t2574647

This is wrong. I can verify that I can open the app while rooted, and google will even send me an email saying 'You set up Android Pay on a new device' the first time I open it. But of course, I cannot add a credit card.
It works fine with root and xposed on every rom I've tried. You just have to add the cards before rooting or installing the xposed framework. If you unroot but xposed is still there it won't work. Once the card is added it will work if your rooted or not. The check is only done while adding it.
If you use systemless root it works, that's been known for a while.

"Irregardless" -
is a word commonly used in place of regardless or irrespective, which has caused controversy since the early twentieth century, though the word appeared in print as early as 1795.[1] Most dictionaries list it as nonstandard or incorrect usage, and recommend that "regardless" should be used instead.

This is false. I was running Chroma with systemless root, I was able to add cards to Android Pay, and then I installed Xposed. Android Pay opens, but when I try to actually pay I get an error that Android Pay can't be used at this time. I even had the no policy check module installed.

Without the availability or customs roms and kernels, are there any reasons to root a Galaxy Tab S3? Which bloatware have you uninstalled in your GTS3 after rooting?
I normally install custom roms and kernels for the improved battery life and overall performance improvement that many of these roms offer.

I agree, I went back to not rooted and pray for OTA updates, even it's naive
If i ever going to root, one of the main factor would be for GMD gestures. Couple of finger swipes to close apps, lock screen, switch apps adds tremendous amount of button freedom and control.
I'm going to rooting to get complete control of memory (internal and SD) and app authorizations...

Mattered a lot more to me when Android was a lot less mature. Nowadays, Marshmallow is pretty solid. Add in Macrodroid or Tasker and call it a day. And Nova supports gestures.

We can disable bloatware with ADB?
I use Netflix on this, so root isn't worth the trouble to get Netflix working.

Not with ADB. You'll need an app like titanium backup or adaway for ad blocking. But both need root. But you're correct, getting netflix to work is a little bit of a pita.

Another option: I'm using Disconnect Pro and it seems to work fine. It has to be sideloaded though.
I rooted my Tab S3 for 4 main reasons:
1. Adaway
2. Viper and Dolby Atmos and boost sound the way I like it (and its big imrovement)
3. OGyoutube
4. to backup and restore with TWRP and Titanium

Get a number from Google Voice. Then install Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer. Link Hangouts to your Google Voice number. You can text and make/receive calls with this combo. Working here for me.
Hello, how can i have root in tab s3?
Help me, Any link?
I want root for xda ads (at least)! The adds on main forum screens get so bad they'll block the screen from viewing the threads

Including the model# of your device is helpful to get proper direction.
If you have the SM-T820/825, this thread pertains to Root/Recovery (TWRP) for the devices I mentioned. If you have one of the devices, read the thread before asking questions:
