Hello everyone :laugh:
I'm new here in this forum and as on android user as well so go soft on me
I have a problem regardless the root and unroot device, my nexus 7 in rooted (I dunno if it is rooted by manufacture or not)
I installed some online games like Iruna online and avabel problem is I always got the same error screen "Authentication Failed"
I heard it got something to do with rooted devices, so I tried some programs that un-root the device for certain apps but it failed too.
any suggestion or this error is duo to something else
Ps:Google play is restricted in my country so I'm using hotspot
Do you want to hide the root or unroot the device.
No Nexus 7's are sent rooted from the manufacturer if it is rooted then this has been done by a user. Wugfresh nexus toolkit has an option to unroot but this involves flashing an unrooted stock ROM and will wipe the device. I'm not aware of any other way to unroot the tablet. Some apps say that they can hide the su binary from other apps. For more info on what "root access" actually is see XDA university for a pretty concise explanation. Try hide my root by amphoras if you can't get that on hotspot PM me and I will send you the .apk file.
Sent from one of my 47 iPads running android C3P0
I tried multiple apps that hide root but all failed, I will try the one you mention,
and I'm asking about the error too "Authentication failed" is it because of root or else ?
Edit: I just tried the app and the same error

Hi, SheepRaider...
If your Nexus 7 is rooted with Chainfire, then unrooting it should be relatively straightforward...
------------------------------------------------------------
** Go into the App Drawer and locate the SuperSU app. By default, the icon should be a YELLOW triangle with a RED hash (#) overlayed on top of it. However, this may have been changed by whoever originally rooted the device. See the first thumbnail at the bottom of this post for the alternative icons. If it's been made invisible (hidden from launcher), then things become a little more technically challenging. See this post for more details on this.
** Once you have located the SuperSU app, run it and tap on the SETTINGS tab.
** Scroll down to the option, Full unroot - Cleanup for permanent unroot, tap on this and follow the on screen instructions.
** Reboot your Nexus 7... you should now be unrooted.
------------------------------------------------------------
Take a look at my attached thumbnail images for the sort of things you should expect to see.
Hope this helps... and good luck.
Rgrds,
Ged.

Hi,
PLEASE HELP ME!!
I've got a stock out of the box Galaxy S4 (4.2.2) and I'm having trouble with a couple of apps not installing.
The first app is Good Messaging for my corporate email, tries to install then says 'my phone is not within policy'
Just tried to install my mobile banking app and it bombs out and says my device is rooted.
I've have definitely not tried to root or modify the Android OS. I downloaded the free rootchecker app and it says I'm not rooted.
Is this an app problem or something weird on the S4 I need to modify so it appears unrooted? Never had this issue with my past S2.
Thanks in advance.

If you have to root your phone so that you can use this app, why you don't do it? It takes you a little 15 minutes, just follow the tuto carefully and everything will be easy.
Also if you want to go back to official stock for insurance issue, you can flash to the official stock.
I do not want to root my device. I want it unrooted (locked)- which out of the box it should be.
The 2 apps I'm trying to install will fail to work if the device is rooted.
Unfortunately the apps 'think' my device is rooted when its not.
How can I double check if my S4 device is unrooted/locked?
FYI- I'm with Vodafone UK (England). I wonder if their Android build is the problem? Is there an easy way to install a stock non branded ROM?

That is I tried to tell you, Root->Unroot = out of the box factory state. No one will notice that you have root...
That cannot be. Even if you device is root, you can still download any app. However if you device is not rooted, yo cannot download App who require the root.
Try to flash the official firmware of your phone through Odin, and see if it still displays that error warning.
First my phone's details:
Rooted
Model: Samsung-SGH-I337 (AT&T)
Android Version: 4.2.2
Build: JDQ39.I337UCUAAMDL
Here's the situation...
I'm an IT guy (low on totem) and we're in the Pilot phase for Android using MobileIron. I have a rooted AT&T 32GB S4 and I'm trying to fool MobileIron into believing my phone is compliant. I have done lots of reading on this subject, and nothing has helped, to this point. I have access to the MobileIron server, so I can register, and de-register, my device as often as I want. I plan on reporting this back to the people who get paid more than I do to let them know how secure this is.
Here's what I've tried:
1. I have installed Xposed Framework, and installed RootCloak, but it has zero effect on MobileIron. I couldn't even get to the point in MobileIron setup where I could download our 'secure apps'. (I am aware that RootCloak moved to Cydia, but I read it wasn't as good)
2. I tried using 'Hide My Root' from Play, and that also had zero effect on MobileIron; I got no further than I did with RootCloak.
3. I tried using 'Hide Rooting Lite' from Play, and I was able to download our 'secure apps', and MI required that I create a password/pattern to unlock my phone. In my opinion, this got past the first level of authentication that MI requires, which is a step in the right direction. I have recently learned that MI also scans your list of installed APPs for any APP that requires root.
Do any of you think that changing the names of some of my apps (Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, etc.) would help fool MobileIron? What about trying to DualBoot ROMS? If the secondary ROM that I setup is not rooted, and I have MI installed on it, would it be able to detect root from my primary ROM?
Any help, or ideas that I have not thought of yet, that you geniuses can provide would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi! Any luck with beating mobile iron?
MobileIron is kicking my ass. I have a Nexus 5 that's never been rooted and I can't get MI to install on this device. Is it because the bootloader is unlocked? I'm in IT as well, and our MobileIron administrators have NO IDEA what to do.

I had a similar issue in my non-rooted M8. MI started working after I did a factory reset .
Hello
I've seen plenty of posts around the net with people asking how to turn OFF the USB Port Cover warning that comes up when you unplug the cord. But, I want to turn mine back on. I actually like the warning popup, but I accidentally selected the "do not show again" box and now it's gone.
I do not have a rooted phone, and would prefer not to root if I don't have to at this time.
Model: SM-G900V
Android Ver: 4.4.4
Build: KTU84P.G900VVRI1ANI2
Thanks
..
Thank you. I'll look into that and see. (To be honest, it's my wifes phone and she doesn't want it rooted, I'll root my own once a Verizon root starts working again)

Not sure why your messages are both showing up as just two dots now, but I did get to read your reply in the email notification.
"Restoring a backup is always the best way to recover.
But most people don't bother to make them. And since you aren't willing to root, you can't edit the system property directly. Which means that your only option is to clear the preference you committed.
Go to the Application manager in the Settings menu and look on the "Al" submenu. You need to identify which app generates the reminder message and then choose clear cache and data for it to restore the warning. A Google search would identify the app or process name for youOnce a Verizon root starts working again?
You're misinformed. Verizon roots have been working all along.?
In regards to Verizon roots, they may work for others, it does not work for mine. I've attached two screen shots that show what phone I have, and the message that Towelroot gives me when I run it. If you could point me to something else that does work for my model phone, that would be great.
Hello guys
Well the problem is the next one hope u can give me some solutions, because I've tried everything I'm at the border of install a new ROM
Well I have a tablet which was messed up from the usage of hack apps with root usage like the freedom, kingroot, etc... and it stops connecting to the PlayStore
First: It was showing the label "No connection retry" over and over again without the capacity to connect to the PlayStore by any means, Youtube app was affected too
-After a factory reset by the Android software and from the bootloader (holding the keys) restart the Tablet and Youtube was working now, but Playstore remains with the same label
Second: Now we figured out that some rooted app was the one who causes all the trouble but it was gone with the FR, then I figured out that the problem was with the "HOSTS" file, then to use ES File Explorer along with Kingroot to grant it root access to modify the Host, I did it and restart and everything....and now it shows another label: "Error retrieving information from server. RH-01" And still remains with that label.
I tried many lines of code for the Host file:
127.0.0.1 localhost <<--- Alone
And
127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.47.231.138 android.clients.Google.com mtalk.google.com <------with this variant too
None worked, i even use ADAWAY with root permission and didn't work too.
Already did the Non-root methods of deleting the data of all GPlay services the app itself and the framework without success too.
I've already wipe out the user data and done many factory resets without any success too
I really don't know what the hell is blocking the access to the Playstore and dunno what to do now, so every another solution will be very appreciated.
Greetings and thanks in advance!
Dude flash your stock ROM using Odin. Find these files either the Galaxy Tab 4 General or Development or Original Development. Flash the correct one for your model, its OK to flash the different region ROM but do a factory reset. Reply here if it helps

I tough about flashing it, but there's one inconvenience it seems like this Tablet had Android 4.4 and just find 4.4 stock versions to flash it, but mine has 5.1 installed already and in the device model it's shown as Nexus 5 device dunno why
So in order to flash it, I'll end doing a downgrade from 5.1 to 4.4 dunno if this can be dangerous

Hi!
I have issue with app on my S7 Edge that demands me to unroot. I rooted my phone 5 years ago or more and I don't remember a thing about it. I did this to permanently remove bloatware. Only way I know to unroot is to flash stock-rom again but I don't want to loose my hard effort on debloating + data and so on. Is there any tricks for that? Like hide/remove su binary? I really don't remember where to start. Also with factory reset or something I cant remember I lost root access partially - that is apps can still tell that phone is rooted (root checker tells that root access is available but then also orange warning that root access is not properly installed on this device). But they can't request root privilege for some reason. But I still have this custom recovery rom installed where I have basically root access to phone - do you think I could use this to somehow hide temporarily root from my app that is complaining about it and then later restore root to the full - that is to make apps able to request root access again? I would like to keep my apps/data and I remember them getting lost in process of rooting due to some samsung encryption crap - not sure how to check data/app loss would be case now since I did it so long time ago. Could anyone help me out?
For documentation purposes. So in my case I had lost root with factory reset. I had to boot into TWRP and re-flash super su. Difference from official tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ial-twrp-for-galaxy-s7-edge-hero2lte.3334084/ was that in step 9 my phone did not complain about dm-verity,. I did not have to disable encryption and I did not loose my data. Someone may correct me but it was because I had already rooted in past and the most likely cause for "loosing" root was doing factory reset. PS I have european model so I am not sure how much it makes this tutorial different.
Now what is left to do is come up with ideas how to hide root from 1 specific app in Android 7.
