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.

Just backup and flash the stock rom to make sure everything is wiped
backup.
flash stock rom
then restore ?

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

Hi all, thanks in advance for any help on this. I have a few general s5 rooting questions. I'm an experienced 'rooter' having rooted and installed custom ROMs on many previous devices.
- I've ready that the s5 has an 'e-fuse' that gets 'blown' when the device is rooted. this then voids the warranty and prevents things like Fort Knox from running. I get that, and understand the risks. But, I've also read that the lollipop update will remove root. These two things seem to contradict themselves.
- on other devices I've rooted, I've then installed a custom ROM. I don't plan to do this with my s5. I haven't been able to find much written on the experience of a rooted s5 running the samsung stock ROM/firmware. I'd like to use something like xposed to change parts of the ROM (like the white background that's so pervasive in the s5 flavor of lollipop). I'm curious if anyone is running lollipop on an s5 that is rooted but running stock samsung firmware and xposed.
thanks!
Rooting won't trip Knox. Installing a custom recovery will. If you have insurance on your device tripping Knox doesn't matter, your covered anyway.
thanks!

very interesting, thanks! can I run xposed/titanium backup pro/other root things without a custom recovery? all I'm really interested in is modifying Samsung-dictated things (like apps that can't be frozen and colors/elements that can't be changed) + making complete backups to the SD card. If I recall from my previous experiences, a custom recovery was the way to create a nandroid backup...but I think perhaps titanium backup pro can do that from the android front-end (with root).
I assume that I should wait to root until the tmobile s5 gets lollipop? i.e. that update will kill root?

Right now there are threads that show you how to get rooted lollipop on your phone without tripping Knox which basically involves downgrading the kernel so you can root with towelroot, then using mobile Odin to flash lollipop and inject root in the process. It seems people are able to do this without issues. To this point, I do not think that anyone has found an exploit for lollipop.
The problem you will run into is that Xposed still does not run on lollipop so you cannot do much in the way of customization. Most of the G900F ROMs can run on the G900T so you might poke around in those threads to pick up more info.
Hope this helps a little.

System runtime is different. Art for lollipop compared to dalvik.. So it's not compatible as of now
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Free mobile app
This does not work with lollipop

I don;t know where you heard that rooting won;'t trip Knox but I beleive you are wrong about that At least I know that Flashing cf auto root - flashing recovery or flashing custom roms all trip knox. If your phone can use Towel Root - that rooting process does not trip knox - but I am not sure if Towel Root works on Lollipop or on the S5 for that matter. (I may be wrong about Towel Root - I have never used that process so I can't say for sure)
Flashing a new rom via ODIN does not trip knox. It is just like getting an UPDATE from the carrier OTA.
BUT, If you are already rooted - you already have tripped knox - flashing Lollipop will remove root - but it will not do anything to change the fact that you tripped knox on your phone already.
As far as I know everything I have said is correct - based on what I have learned thru reading - flashing and using several different samsung phones -
finally, I see a lot of people paranoid as hell about tripping knox - and I can tell you without any hesitation that I have never had a problem getting service or replacements after rooting a phone - there have been a few times back when I first started flashing roms that I had issues with my phone and I took it in and got a replacement without any issue - once I broke my screen and got a replacement then too - both times I was rooted, running custom recovery - etc.
I hope this helps you
I used towel root on NE6. You can downgrade to that via Odin and not trip knox. As far as flashing 5.0 and losing root. I came from Alliance flash Twisted lollipop and kept root. Then used Odin to flash the bootloader and modem for OB1.
Do you still have Knox 0?
How did you flash lollipop?
So currently I have an s6 edge from Wind Mobile Canada (SM-G925W8)
5.0.2
I am rooted using ping pong root but now I want to unroot because of the new update that should be released soon (5.1.1)
I was wondering whats is the safest method of unrooting without tripping knox or having to wipe everything.

The most effective way to remove root is by installing the stock firmware through Odin.
It works every time. No KNOX issues here.
The XDA post explaining this I have shared on many different threads.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
One warning though. Whenever I use this, ALL my data gets wiped.
I am sure there are other techniques of unrooting, but this is the only one I use.

When you mean by all ur data do you just mean apps/settings etc get wiped or like ur entire phone including internal storage?

Even internal storage. All my photos are lost. All downloaded music wiped, all call logs cleared, etc.

Just did the process of flashing stock firmware through odin, it didnt wipe anything and i was updated to the latest 5.0.2 update (I flashed the lastest update for my W8 device from samsung directly)
Everything is the same except im unrooted and on the latest 5.0.2 update
You only need to wipe if you want it truly back to stock/ factory experience
Thanks anyways
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?
I have s6 edge sm-925f which was rooted and so I didn't get the nougat update. so I used the permanent clean-up feature of super su. now my phone won't start. I can access recovery but it won't install update from external source. I have access to Odin too. but I don't have pc right now. I could arrange that. but I don't know how to recover. so please help me. also it has been brought from UAE. It has Android 6.0.1.

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.
I have a Smasung S9 Plus SM-g965F with Exynos on android 10, I would need to get root but I would like to avoid to install TWRP recovery, can I do it with the stock recovery?
Thanks.

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.
