Temporary turn off root - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My android box K1 Plus DV-BT S2 has root access.
It came that way, and I only found out today when trying to install another broadcaster app. The app I am trying to use, detects the box is rooted, and will not install.
I have tried ota rootkeeper 4-3, but it will not give me the option to suspend, like I have seen in the videos on line.
It is a Amlogic S905 Quad core 64-bit Cortex A53 with Android 5.1
I see many posts referring to say add SuperSu and so forth, but unsure now which to try, or is it a case of simply trying to worm my way through the playstore etc looking for something suitable?
many thanks

Can you clarify? I'm not sure what you mean. I don't find rooting instructions in a thread here.
Are you assuming the Trio Stealth Pro 7c and the Trio Stealth Pro 7 are the same thing, or do you know that they are?
Or do you mean it's already rooted out of the box, as the OP (a fellow newbie) reports here? (and what does that mean? That it even has a working Superuser.app and compatible su installed?
The manual (http://www.triomp3.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Droid-stealth-manual.pdf <sic; that's the link on the site, even though it's named "Droid-stealth-manual") for the Trio Stealth Pro 7 says that one can do this:
1) Tap the setting icon.
2) Tap About tablet.
3) Tap System update, follow the onscreen instructions.
4) Tap Install system update only if there is new version available and you have the update file saved to your SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30709653#post30709653 (newer posts especially) seems like a good place to start with custom ROMs.

Trio Stealth 7C is rooted
I've seen a number of posts questioning whether the trio stealth 7C is rooted or not. So I tried a couple of things on my new tablet.
Since receiving it, I have only put CWM recovery 6 on it, which AFAIK does not change anything about root access.
My conclusion is that my tablet is rooted.
1) Using "adb shell", type "su" and did not get an error
2) installed terminal emulator, and typed "su" and did not get an error and the prompt went to a "#" symbol
3) Installed Titanium Backup Root and did backups successfully.
For comparison, I tried the first item above on some other phone that is not rooted and got an error about no having permission.
I suppose its possible that I did something along the way to get it rooted, but it certainly was not on purpose!
Trio Stealth Lite
I bought the Trio Stealth Lite, the 4.3" mini tablet, for my 3 yr old daughter as a traveling tablet. It's a perfect size for her tiny hands to bring along everywhere. It's much more portable than her 10" Nabi 2, plus at just $50, I don't care if she drops and breaks or loses it.
I wanted to add that this tablet to my surprise did come per-rooted, straight out of the box! After charging it up, I wanted to see by any chance it was per-rooted, since another kids tablet she had, the Meep was also per-rooted. (Side note, the Meep is a horrible tablet, I don't recommend it, returned after 1 week. I won't go into details, it'd be it's own separate forum). So, I installed Aptoide onto it, then Titanium Backup, which will tell you right away after you install and open it, if you have root access and indeed it did, straight from the box. After that, I downloaded and installed SuperSU and Busy Box, with no problems, which adds to the fact it's fully rooted already. Then I downloaded Lucky Patcher, since it has an option to install the normal Google Play Store or the modded version of it, since this tablet only came with the Amazon Store for apps/games. The Play Store works great on it, haven't came across an app/game that can't be installed onto it yet.
The best thing I did probably was after installing Root Explorer, I changed the "void fastb" file to swap the internal/external SD cards, which had only 1.7GB originally for apps/games, to now with the externalSD, as the internalSD with 29.7GB (32GB microSD), for apps/games! At first using a class 4 sdcard I had laying around, it'd have glitches sometimes not recognizing the externalSD after rebooting, but then I popped in a class 10 sdcard, the Sandisk Ultra SDXC (red/gray color card), and have had no problems ever since and still has 23GB+ for more apps/games! I also tweaked a few things to make it faster and longer battery life, which helped a lot. Its definitely the best $50 toy she has, I think..
So since, this Trio tablet came pre-rooted, there's a good possibility the other Trio's come pre-rooted too, and to test of yours is pre-rooted or not, you can simply follow what I did with my smaller Trio, first downloading Aptoide, then it's repos (for more apps). Using Aptiode, search, download and install Titanium Backup, SuperSU and Busy Box to confirm root access. Lucky Patcher and Root Explorer can also be found in Aptiode.
Oh by the way, I only had to install the Play Store, using Lucky Patcher, the other Google Apps that usually accompany it, was already installed on the tablet.
I would like to install a custom recovery for it, in case it ever crashes or freezes, and install back the factory ROM. It does have its own recovery, but can only be accessed thru the settings menu, which is no good, if it was to ever freeze up or can't boot. I tried all the different combos with the power, volume, and reset button, but can't ever access the recovery menu that way. It just takes me to the Android guy, lying open with a red exclamation point sticking out of its belly. Using the recovery thru the settings menu, actually takes you to a regular recovery menu, where you can pick to reboot, factory wipe, upgrade from SD, ect..
I tried installing CWM thru Rom Manager but it didn't have a recovery specific to this tablet and I wasn't sure if I could install a different tablets recovery onto this one..
If anyone happens to know how or where I can find one for this tablet, please let me know, I'd greatly appreciate it! :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advanced!

Greetings, had a quick question for you. This was a great post, as I was having issues rooting this and had heard this device is aleady rooted. I was able to install Aptoid onto it with no issue, but when I tried Titanium Backup, it said the device was NOT rooted..? Do I need to install SuperSU first, then titanium backup? Thanks in advance if you get a chance to respond. I was able to get this device for $20 with a giftcard and was stoked to see how you got it setup.
Thanks!
Trio Stealth Lite Flixster problem
Hi,
I got the Trio Stealth Lite 4.5 inch screen and got a problem. I cannot play videos from my flixster account. I downloaded a ota root keeper and it did not help. So, can someone help me on how to root the device so I can use this device better, I don't want to mess it up. Thanks
Tried and thought i got it, but...
I have a Trio Stealth Pro 7c that I have been working on for over a week now to get Google play. It came rooted out of the box so I followed the above post with success. I downloaded Aptiode market, Titanium Backup, Busy Box, and all the rest suggested in that order. I loaded a mod version of Play that worked and I was playing games and loving it!! Then I powered down and went to bed. Next power on it had done a system reset and taken out all old markets and left only google play which was great except it seemed to add a partition to the internal memory which now wont allow me to download any apps and has erased all previous apps i loaded. It will fully function and I can use other app programs but if I download a google play app it says no room ( i now have have 2 internal storage menus 1 showing full with 35.44 mb apps and the second showing 1.71 gb total space with 1.65gb available.) Any thoughts on how I can either undo the partition so i can change to the original settings and start over or how to just undo the system restore that some how takes place at each power off? Not sure how I did it either! Thanks!

[Q] Root Asus k011 - Android 4.4.2

Hello all,
I am newbie to this forum and also newbie to Android.
I recently got myself an ASUS Memo Pad tablet and I want to root it.
I did some searching and reading on the subject and I found some info about
Towelroot, superSU, CPU-Z, root checker, brick, app ops, etc'.
But I did not find any specific information about rooting the ASUS MemoPad 8" 4.4.2 .
Did anybody ever rooted this device ?
Can somebody direct me to a tool that can root this tablet ?
I want to root this tablet for two reasons:
- To enable me to install apps on the microSD card .
- To prevent apps from collecting data.
I would also appreciate it if anybody tell me about other advantages of a rooted Android device.
Here's the info:
ASUS Memo Pad 8"
Model Number: K011
Android version: 4.4.2
Kernel version date: Friday June 20th 2014
Processor: Intel ATOM
Architecture: X86
4 cores
Any help appreciated.

Well while I don't know how to root your tab, I can answer your other question. There are many benefits, and a couple of drawbacks. With root, you gain full read-write access to your device, which has many uses. For example you can set custom CPU clocks (to increase performance or save battery), you can remove bloatware apps which can also increase performance and save storage. Then there's adfree to block adds, you can get an app for permission management to increase security as well as firewall apps. You can also install UI mods and better customize the tablet to your liking. Finally there's the possibility of a custom recovery and ROMs like CyanogenMod. The downside is that if you fiddle too much and break something the tablet might not boot. And of course there's the problem of giving su access to a malicious app that can steal data, drain battery, slow down the system or just plain make your tablet unbootable. All in all, it's a good thing, just be careful.
Thanks neroTNS.
I guess I'll wait for more answers.

Roots for K011
I know what you mean by rooting. It seems like an impossible task. One good thing about this tab though is once rooted, IT KEEPS ITS ROOT! I rooted mine and 3 updates were done, all updates keeping the root. Asus does have an app called root.apk that you can install. There is also Kingo Root which requires you go into developer mode and turn on USB Debugging. The root.apk is hard to find, but Kingo Root is easy to find and fairly simple to use as long as you have an open USB port on your computer.
Hope that helps.

Allwinner A13/gs701b - Already rooted, on android 4.0.3, looking for an update

I have this fake china tablet, running android 4.0.3, but I would like to get an android version above 4.2.0, by any means, custom ROMs included, anything.
The tab looks like this: <electroniaychinas.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/new-q88-font-b-atm7013-b-font-have-hdmi-best-cheapest-7-inch-font-b-tablet.jpg>
So far, I managed to find its' firmware: <4shared.com/rar/-PVB60wZba/GS701B_ATM7013_Q8.html>
I found out how to root it, using MTK droid tools and this tutorial, including the files inside it (su, busybox, superuser.apk): <4shared.com/rar/_jWoAVtBce/gs701b-root.html>
My only purpose to this tablet is getting an app named "The World Of Magic" to work on it. @ <play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.com2us.imo.normal.freefull.google.global.android.common&hl=en>
The problem I'm getting with this game(The World Of Magic):
It installs correctly, from both the market and as an APK from the SD card.
The moment I try to run this application, it brings me to an uninstall prompt to this same application, which leaves me the only option to uninstall it.
Sometimes, if I agree to uninstall it, the tablet shows me a booting animation, as if I just turned it on (That could be a low battery issue, though).
Older versions of this application seem to load up, but not the newest, and the servers won't let me log in if I have an old version.
If anybody can only help me address this "uninstall" issue when starting the TWOM app, there won't be any need for looking for any updates for the android. I know, I should have messaged the developers of this game, and I did! Still waiting for a reply from them . I don't expect them to do anything, Com2us is famous for blocking their applications from being ran on computers, but I didn't expect older android versions not to be included in their game development.
Thanks in advance, but I guess I won't get much of a reply, because this device is old as hell. At least, I might have helped if anybody is looking for the firmware or how to root this thing.

[S905x] T95N Mini M8S Pro 2GB+8GB

Hi all,
I bought a cheap T95N Mini M8S Pro 2GB+8GB on AliExpress.
This is my second Android TV box and they all seem to come with a certain level of root.
The problem is that my Internet/TV provider has an app that blocks the streaming of live TV when it detects root. (Telenet Yelo)
Since I don't need root on this box, I tried un-rooting it.
I tried removing the SU files in the system\bin folder.
I now have flashed the 13.10.2016 version with the Amlogic USB Burning Tool. With this ROM version I was able to remove root through the SuperSU app. I even did a clear cache and factory reset to make sure there was nothing left.
Result: All root-checker apps tell me that the device is NOT rooted, but STILL that f*cking Yelo app gives me a notification that my device is rooted...
I spend more hours than I like to admit on this problem and I hope that someone can point me in the right direction.
Kind regards,

application showmax dont work, mxq pro 4k 2GB/16GB s905x

Hello. I have android TV Mxq pro 4k 2GB / 16GB, processor amlogic s905X,rtl8723bs, android 7.1. The problem concerns the application Showmax, when you try to play the video, the application displays the message "Your system is rooted" and the process is interrupted. Previously, I had android stick mk809III with android 4.4.2, showmax worked without a problem, because the stick was mechanically damaged, I had to buy something new. I have two questions, can I upload eg android 5.0 to mxq pro 4k? Is the problem on the side of the system? and the second question, is it possible to get around this showmax security? I've used several programs, including RootCloak, Magisk, RootSwitch. none helps. is there any solution to the problem? can edit build.prop file? please help.
Sorry for my english.
Will this software be good for my equipment?
"3x w" .chinagadgetsreviews.com/download-android-lollipop-5-1-1-stock-firmware-eny-mxq-pro-tv-box-4.html
To make it clearer, I need a factory firmware best without root, or such firmware that even after uploading, I will be able to perform a full unroot. Currently, on android, which I have 7.1 I can not perform a full unroot. I make it through SU and after rebooting everything returns to its original state. Root chcecker detects root.
I had a root done with the help of Magisk and as I wanted to uninstall it, it returns a message to me? what's the problem?
I would like to add before the "https" link
