Switching between root and unroot? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've rooted my note 3 with towelroot and applied some tweaks and mods.
Unfortunately sky go doesn't work and it's an app I use quite regularly. Can I simply unroot with supersu, use sky go, then re root when I've finished with sky go? Do I have to undo the mods I've added with exposed installer? If so is the back up app which will speed up the process of re adding my mods?
Thanks

Root or not

Hello guys I bought the mega few hours now and I love it
I just wanna ask should I root or should I wait a bit

It depends how you want to customise your phone. If you want to use a custom launcher or kernel or to tune the device more finely such as uninstalling stock applications and using applications that require root like Greenify and the Xposed Framework, then yes.

[Q] Using Sky Go on a rooted S3 with Cyanogen

I know there have been PLENTY of threads on xda trying to solve this and I've asked questions on the threads themselves and I'm yet to receive a reply. Can someone please give me a small guide (if possible ) how temp unroot.
1. Rootkeeper or any other app on the app store doesn't work when root is protected for me
2. SuperSU uninstall doesn't work for me
3. Flashing a zip to remove SuperSU and Busybox didn't work for me either.
There isn't a file with the name 'superuser.apk' that I could find.
Can anyone help with my predict? I really need to get this working before US Open

BTW I actually don't mind unrooting my phone for a few weeks as long as I don't lose data or backup. If there is a way to do this (which isn't considered a temp root) please let me know

Have you tried the temporary unroot option inside superuser. It always works for me?

I've just tried that and it didn't work. I don't know what the Sky Go app is detecting but I keep getting the same popup that Sky Go doesn't support rooted devices. But thanks for your help anyways mate

I also tried using Android 4.3 which seemingly doesn't have root access, so I don't know what the app is picking up.

Is this a country locked product? Also if it is free can you please provide a link to the application or maybe upload it, if I need to pay I will look into it

Sky Go is an application which allows people with a Sky subscription to watch TV on their devices, whether it be a tablet, phone or PC. I'm guessing u live outside the UK because Sky is quite popular here. As for the app, it is free, however you need an account to access it. Here's the link to it in the Play Store anyways.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygo
I'm not sure if you can have a look at this without an account but let me know anyway buddy. :thumbup:

So we have root... now what

I along with a bunch of people have root and am just curious what are some of the things you guys are itching to do or have done right away. I figure this could be a place where we share ideas.

Removing all the bloat would probably be the number one thing people Will be doing.
But rooting allows so much more.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
1. Titanium Backup to remove bloat
2. Get Google Wallet back.
3. Get all my Tasker scripts that required root working again.
No more ads...

+1 on wallet
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
I installed Wallet right from the Play Store... haven't rooted my phone yet.
1. Titanium backup
2. no more ads!
3. AutomateIt (it's like Tasker) now can control app specific GPS on/off toggle.
4. I'm going to debloat the crap out of the phone
5. GMD GestureControl (get my swipe to Alt-Tab between apps back)
I almost never get a phone before it's been rooted, and in the few days that I've used the note 3 without Root, I've come to realize that rooting is pretty important in my day-to-day usage.

Are you able to pay with Wallet? I thought we could install it but the Verizon Note 3 would not allow us to pay with it.
What do you mean no ads. I have no ads now. What about DPI. Note 2 was all about 240 DPI. what's the hot DPI now.

What kind of carrier do you have ?
I tried use PDAnet+ and foxfi, both of them doesn't work.
MIP error 64 ?
Haven't found a working hot spot without root sorry.
But it is possible to get root and not flip a knox flag.

You cannot.
You'll need to read the forum threads.
Everything you want to know is easy to find by just browsing/searching.

[Q] new to root

I want to root my Verizon s4 using the towel root method . I am running 4.4.2 and my question is do I need to factory reset before I run the root or can I just get straight to it and leave things such as nova launcher as is and root away? I'm me to this board and rooting to so I'd like my first one to go fairly smooth. Thanks Jesse
No need to do anything before beginning towelroot
Thanks that's what I was hoping to hear. Now let's get to it! Thanks. Any thing I might need to keep an eye out for before I make it rain? Thanks. Jesse

OK I downloaded towel root, root checker, and titanium backup and super su. Everything worked perfect and it does I have root access so what do you guys suggest first. What are your favorite apps that require root? I'm looking at the lmt app that has the pie for toggles looks like but I wanted your feed back in what you use the most. Thanks Jesse

Someone had the same question the other day, here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2846920
Thanks it's nice to know that there are forums like this to help keep me from really screwing up my phone. I'm sure I'll do it anyway but at least I can ask how to get it back. Thanks guys. Jesse
