Encrypt rooted Galaxy S6 Edge - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Im having trouble with my rooted European (Sweden) Galaxy S6 Edge G925F.
I have used
twrp-3.0.2-0-zerolte.img
SpaceX-Kernel_MM_RC2.1_G925F
BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328
XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4
I need to encrypt my device to be able to access the company e-mail but as i understand it, you cant encrypt becouse of the root? For me it fails.
When i trie to unRoot with the SuperSu app i get a message "Uninstalation failed!"
What to do, and can i root again after encrypting?

You will have to flash the stock firmware again to lose the root. The su app never unroots for me either.
As for after encryption you will not be able to root until a factory reset has been done.
You can try temporary unroot with supersu, then encrypt.
Interested to see what happens.

Anyone knowing of a app that can encrypt rooted devices?

[Q] Unroot method that DOESN'T wipe?

I have been searching and haven't found this, forgive me if it's out there.
Is there an unroot method for the GTab 10.1 Wifi that DOESN'T wipe and return to stock? I want to install a custom ROM and go back and forth between root as my company doesn't allow their Good for Enterprise app to work on a rooted device.
Thanks!
Delete /system/bin/su, then system/app/superuser.apk and reboot. I have done it and all the signs of root were gone. Also I've read that superSU from market does the job, but never tried it. Either way, afaik, the only way to be 10000% certain is to flash a clean, stock rom.

OTA root keeper is working with google play movies to temperarily unroot even works for OTA updates
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m9yZy5wcm9qZWN0dm9vZG9vLm90YXJvb3RrZWVwZXIiXQ..
Others have tried OTA root keeper without success with Good for Enterprise (GFE).
I tried SuperSU (which is a cool app!) without any luck. I tried it both with and without a rooted kernel. GFE still detects root even when it's been "turned off" in SuperSU.
I will next try to permanentally unroot via SuperSU and hope it doesn't wipe.

Permanent unroot works in SuperSU to unroot and allow Good for Enterprise to work on my tablet. I can always reflash the rooted update.zip file to gain root again if I need to.
Success! This allow root to be removed and not wipe the Galaxy Tab.

Which Galaxy Tab do you have? I have the Tab Pro 8.4 and I tried to do permanent unroot with SuperSU and GFE complained. What version of GFE was it? Did you do anything else after unroot?

Lol. This was from 2 years ago man. It was the original Galaxy Tab 10.1
I have no idea which version if GFE it was, but I'm sure this thread is old and dead now.

Root apps denied root access

So, after the OS upgrade to 4.3 from 4.2.2, I've discovered that some applications that requires root access deny my system root, YES I've checked that my device is rooted, I have the stock kernel, stock firmware but I've rooted it via Odin3 with CF-AUTO ROOT, and yes the operation was successful. Now, the apps that I'm talking about is Gamecih app and all the other apps like that, and Screen recording apps, all of then denied my root. I've tried wifi kill app (that app works perfectly). So what could be the problem? The app or the OS version itself? Please find me a solution to fix this god dam problem, I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-i9305) device.
You need to re-root your phone with 4.3 root script, and then install supersu..
i think the best way is flash philZ Recovery though odin.. good luck

Airwatch - Device is Compromised - not ROOTed !

Hi,
I am trying to access my company's VPN with Airwatch enrollment. However, Airwatch reports my S6 Edge as " device is compromised" and does not continue enrollment.
What's wrong and how can I solve this ?
My S6 Edge is not rooted.
Well it was rooted once but now it is not.
What may be remaining from the older root process which Airwatch detects ?
Thanks.

Yes. After flashing atock rom all trace of root should be wiped. Make sure you backup your personal stuff and anything you need as flashing stock wipes everything

The clean-up for u root on SuperSU app has never really worked properly.
What you need to do is flash the phone with stock firmware with Odin.

you can't use stock recovery you will need twrp
If you want to install magisk without twrp use the patch method
I have tried kingroot with no success it get stuck at 1%.
If I use magisk by patching the stock rom, then when an official samsung update comes out I can do it automatically as always?
By the way how can I check if the bootloader of my phone is unlocked ?

In develop section check to see if unlock option is there.
Download mode will tell you OEM state as well as KG/RMM state
If you modify your phone you won't get updates. Have to do manually.
Be aware rooting you phone will trip your knox. Won't be able to use knox related functions like secure folder,samsung pass, shealth etc.

ACtually I need root to try to recover some files on the internal memory with some data recovery programs...after that I don't need root anymore so maybe I could go back to full stock?

Once your modified phone knox will be tripped even when flash firmware again. There is no fix for a tripped knox.
If trying to recover lost files then using the patched method with magisk is a better option then using twrp.
I don't have much experience with recovering lost files as i have not had the need for it but i would try some non root methods first before rooting.
If you decide to root your phone you can unroot by magisk or flashing stock firmware.
Always backup your phone before doing anything.
Sadly all these program (one of the most famous is Dr. Fone) that go scanning the memory for deleted files need the privileges of root so I think that without rooting the phone it's not possible to do it anyway if I would lost the knox securty by rooting I'm not that happy too
"You may try looking into Extreme Syndicate root. It's used on the Snapdragon variants to root with a locked bootloader, so it doesn't trip Knox. I don't know if it will work on Exynos, but worth a look."
Editing doesn't work right on my phone. This won't work.
