Hey,
i always rooted my old phones to get the latest android versions when they were out of support. Now my bank told me i need to use phototan, but i don't want this app on my daily phone. So i thought i can use one of my old once and just install that app. Since there is no need to have internet access to use the app, that'd work. But the problem is, that the app requires Android 5+ and does not accept rooted phones. My old one has 4.2.2 so is it possible to get a custom rom without root? Or do i always need root with custom roms?
And if it is possible, all (or at least the most) custom roms come automatically with root, how can i remove it?

I plan to root my Samsung Galaxy S Grand(the single SIM edition not the DUAL) to be able to update the phone to 4.3 or 4.4 and to be able to uninstall all the carrier software branded application. I would also the install a custom ROM. In other words I want to make my phone a "Google Play Edition" style, like they did with the HTC ONE & Samsung Galaxy S3. The ROM would then have to be a standard basic android ROM.
I plan to root with Kingo.
Here is then my problem, to be able to receive my work e-mail to my phone I need to have the Airwatch MDM Application installed, which then requires a non-rooted phone to work.
So would I be then able to Root my phone, install a custom ROM and then un-root my phone with the custom ROM and install the Airwatch App and getting it to work?
Anyone has any tips to offer? Is there a great guide of how to install a new ROM? Thanks!

First thing the kingo android root is the best rooting software in my opinion even though there is no air play in it so i contact them and told that they will have a new update for the software
so, if you want a custom rom on your device then go to google play an type in rom manager or goo manager both are the same
for any inquiries just mail me a message or just replay it:laugh::laugh::laugh:

I have the same challenge. So far I was able to succesfully use Airwatch on custom roms up to 4.2.2 on my Galaxy S4. After installing and tweaking the custom rom you need to remove root from the rom. From then onwards Airwatch is fine. As soon as you root again Airwatch will detect it and disconnect your phone from the service.
On the S4 on Android 4.3 and 4.4 roms Airwatch wants to use the Knox containers which is only available on stock firmware.
Any custom rom will fail therefore because Knox will be disabled on custom roms.
I am not sure if Knox will be part of the firmware on your phone as well, if not, you can try the approach above with removing root before start using Airwatch
I know this is an old thread, but for anybody who stumbles across it, I have created a module that should fix these issues:

Hi all
I'm a complete noob at this entire custom ROM thing, heck I can't even root a phone to save my life. But then I discovered CyanogenMod. It allowed me to run an app which rooted the phone and installed CyanogenMod without me having to do anything. This is awesome, I'm baffled!
But I have an HTC One X on which I also want to install CyanogenMod, but the one-click installer does not support that phone. So I was wondering; are there any other custom ROM's out there that root the phone and install themselves automatically with just one click?
Thanks in advance!
I was told to redirect my question here. My original post is :
Hi, my name is Anthony and I have a T-Mobile S5 running the latest version of android (I think it's 5.0.1 or 5.0). I'm kinda a newb with flashing and rooting. I had my phone rooted using towel root a while ago, but I lost that root in an update and it is no longer supportive of my phone.
I'm looking to install custom roms but before I do so, I would like to make a full backup of my current stock touch wiz so I can revert to it in case I don't like the new rom. I also would like to root my phone. Oh, and before anyone tells me that I need to install Odin, I have a Mac running Yosemite.... A lot of people have told me that I need to install clock work in order for this whole process to work.
Recap advice/how to:
1. Make backup rom
2. Root phone
3. Teach me how to flash roms using a Mac.
4. Include any other important info and links for downloads.
I mainly want to install CM12, but I still want a backup rom to revert to later
Thanks, and please don't post any hate

There is well written instructions on the web already. Maybe I could find a link for you.
That would be great. I've tried a couple with no success
Just use a windows pc... borrow one its 5 minutes to root.
Use odin.
You can downgrade to kit Kat also if u want u don't have to stay on 5.0
there are not many 5.0 roms or even customization for lollipop ,you will discover that fast.

Hi,
short question about my LeEco Le Max2 X820. Have bought the phone last year from tinydeals with Marshmellow stock rom 23s. They never released some security updates for this phone, no new android roms version. That's a shame because the phone has enough power to run the latest android versions.
maybe a stupid question but is it possible to flash a newer custom rom without rooting the phone ? I believe no in due to unlocking the bootloader. I don't like to root this phone because I want to play pokemon go without using magisk or any other root stealth programms.
Regards,
shredman
Heyyo, you don't need to root no, just unlock bootloader.
The only downside to this is of course no custom ROM will ever pass SafetyNet without using hacks like greenlight kernel to fake being SafetyNet certified.
Some ROMs do use this such as OmniROM Nougat, LineageOS Pro Oreo and I'm unsure which other ones do it...

Well, yes it's actually stupid question. Why do you want to root rom you are about to erase, why do even think about that? You only need to to unlock bootloader

On the snapdragon G965U and G965U1 -> Not possible
Snapdragon G9650 variant is rootable, so I would imagine once rooted (and TWRP installed) you can install a custom rom.
Pretty sure the Exynos variants you need to root (and install TWRP on) the phone. I personally haven't seen or heard anything that says this phone will let you install a custom rom without root.
Can't answer the apps part... Atypically in my rooting days I used an xposed mod that hid the fact I rooted my phone from apps and they worked. Some didn't because no matter what I did they detected a modified phone. Using a custom rom makes it harder to say if apps will work as the answer depends on how well the rom's code works with the apps.
It depends on the app... if just rooting is checked they will work but if rom needs to be certified aka official they won't (e.g. GPay).
