Hello,
I just purchased what was supposed to be a brand new Galaxy S8 in Hong Kong (I live in France) and once home found out it had been rooted. I am not sure if it is still rooted because I can't open Magisk Manager (the app says the version of Magisk on my phone is no longer supported by the app) and Root Checker says my device has no root access. Nonetheless, banking apps won't open, Samsung apps (Pass, Health...) either, and Netflix doesn't work.
I have gone through multiple threads to try and unroot my phone but flashing new firmware through Odin has failed and Smart Switch says my device is up to date (I have android 8.0 so it isn't).
My Knox has been tripped, my binary is 'Custom' and so is my Device status which leads me to believe my phone is still rooted.
There is no way for me to exchange my phone and Samsung have been unhelpful when it comes to providing a solution.
I would like to flash stock firmware on my phone but as I mentioned it consistently fails: either because of a PIT failure or a Bootloader Failure. My device model is said to be SM-G50FD but in Odin mode my phone says it is a SM-G950N which seems weird to me.
I am not experienced when it comes to rooting devices (and unrooting them) and am afraid of bricking my phone which is why I am asking for help here. If anyone could provide tips as to what I should do to get rid of the root I would be extremely grateful ! Thank you all.

Hi, I have bought an Ace ME ROM version for my fiancée that had Eclair installed. I rooted the phone using superoneclick v1.9.1 and everything was working fine. Then my fiancée connected to Kies and tried to upgrade to Froyo however the phone hang and she removed the battery and then the phone was not working anymore. I got the phone to work again by reverting to factory settings from the recovery mode screen, and the phone was upgraded to Froyo. However, the phone lost its root, and I am not able to root it again, once trying SuperOneClick the phone hangs on waiting for device (even though I tried all remedies to this issue that are available online). I tried to install Z4root on the phone to root without connection to PC however the application crashes when I click root or unroot.
By the way, the phone says that it is rooted in the settings/About phone/Kernel version screen.
I would appreciate any help on how to re-root the phone as due to low capacity, app to SD and removing stock apps is necessary.
Thanks in advance for your help.

hi ,
i think i have done something really serious with my samsung galaxy s2 andriod 4.0.4 ,
it was locked on T-mobile and i was trying to unlock it, i was told i have to first root the hand set,
while i was trying to Root , i installed kies, odin and i was looking for cf root file for bvlch as far as i remember, i think i rooted with the wrong file even though the kernel was passed on odin, but when that setup was completed the yellow triangle appeared on the set but i never got switched on , not it is just able to go on download mode but only when it is connected to my laptop,
I dont know what to do, please some one help,.......:crying::crying:
Regards::
samsung s3 att -4.1.1
Galaxy note 10.1 -4.1.2
Im a user of these 2 devices and not a developer maybe in the future i will (maybe), but still i recently updated a good app and now both rebooted at the exact same time and now booth stuck in a boot loop.
(reported the app)
NOT ROOTED ON EITHER.
ALL STOCK LEGIT UPDATES
I can access the odin screen and the recovery screen.
I need these devices back i use them as my computer and phone.
Some issues-
They wont show up on my computer when connected
kies has never worked on my computer right so thats out.
Ideas would be great and i know this isnt meant ofr this forum really since its more developer problems but i figure those who root and abuse the devices can fix them some how.
1) would having a legit version of the samsung 4.1.2 and tell the tablet to install that from the recovery would that fix it?
2) since i get in to odin!!! can i put a Rom on it and get that to work. ( no clue how to root and do this)
If so please link a video and everything i need to do it
Anyhting please anyone the information is priceless...

Hello everyone
I am very new to this website as I just signed up and registered today. I am currently having a problem with my android phone, and I cant figure out how to resolve it.
The problem that I am having is that last week I was updating my phone when something in the device and caused my phone to become bricked. And after spending many hours on Youtube I finally found a video that helped me recover my phone by flashing the phones memory with clockworks recovery using odin and I was able to get my phone back up and working. But now whenever I turn my phone on I see the yellow triangle appear on bootup and I want to get rid of the triangle.
I downloaded the apk file for triangleaway but in order for me to be able to run it on my phone my phone needs to be rooted, and I have tried many ways to root my phone but it still says that my phone does not have root access.
My phone is a Samgung Galaxy Ace X II
Model Name GT-S7560M
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
