Trying to Fixi Google Play - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Note 3 running 5.0 (model # SM-N900W8 ) that I rooted using Kingo Root and then I downloaded Freedom. This caused Google Play and several other apps to stop working so to try and fix this I uninstalled freedom, unrooted and factory reset my device. Turns out this wasn't a very good strategy now I get the error cannot establish reliable connection even though I know I'm connected. So I read that you have to have your phone rooted to fix this but Kingo Root isn't working anymore. If someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

[Q] HELP- 2 apps reporting rooted device on stock ROM

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.

[Q] Dissable Knox Security help?

Alright, I'll run down my problem and hopefully someone can help. I have looked at all of the threads and none have helped me . I am however, very confident one of you guys!!!
Alright, when I Updated to 4.3, I decided that I wanted to go to Cyanogenmod instead of the touchwiz from samsung. I had previously done it with my s3 and everything went well!! So I decided to give it a go. From the moment I tried to root my phone, a notification would pop up on my phone saying "Security information An application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. This attempt has been blocked."
It doesnt matter what method I use (mottochoper, terminal, mac, pc) I always get the same message and everything stops and whatever program I use tells me it couldn't finish.
I have a macbook, I tried uninstalling kies, rebooting my s4/mac, everything!! Nothing works because of this message.
I also tried to dissable and force stop Knox, but it just keeps happening.
I unchecked the box that allowed know to be activated under security, but it keeps happening!!!
I can't root my phone, and it makes me sad very sad ((( The closest I've come to rooting my phone was with the mac Cyanogenmod installer. It almost worked! But then, the security thing.
I have a Galaxy s4 from at&t, running 4.3, a macbook running 10.9, a bagged lunched I prepared for myself that could be yours, and internet access of course.
Someone help please!! Thank you in advance you beautiful folks you!!!!

[Q] Kingo and Samsung Note 3 v4.4.2?

Hey all, anyone try using Kingo on android 4.4.2? I tried using it to root my phone and I get this error: Stop! Offline Device. Anyone know how to fix this?
I haven't found anything in Google, nothing on their website (I just emailed them a few days ago) addresses this issue, and the search bar on this site is giving me error messages instead of results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you thought of using towelroot sir?
Yes I was trying to root my note3 N900 with Kingo since it has been declaring that Kingo will not flag the knox counter. In the beginning, It was on its way of rooting. I saw messages keep rolling on Kingo interface saying updating files or downloading things like that. At one stage, it stopped with error message that root was unsuccessful. I tried again but Kingo said not connected. When i checked the phone, it was bootloop. Crap software ever after. I keep connecting my usb and Kingo never detected my device. And to be honest, I was panicked and ran Samsung Kies and Kies didnt detect my device as well. I didnt touch or move a single millimetre while rooting process. Im very sure that I installed Samsung driver properly and have been using Kies for couples of month before and never face driver problem and I just used Kies a few mins before i started to run Kingo. I started to realized Kingo messed up my driver in mid-way of rooting. Since then I just kicked it out from my pc and never looked back at all.

I wanted to see if I could try fixing this first before exploring other options. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it if Kingo falls through.

Towelroot is also a KNOX 0x0 rooting procedure that works on a lot of Samsung 2014 devices
I used Kingo on 4.3 and it worked fine, but I thought Kingo wasn't working anymore on later firmware, since it was patched? Towel root works very well, but again the latest firmware is patched against it as well and developer works for Google now, so the way to do it properly is to load newest firmware, then downgrade just official Kernel to version before June 2014 with Odin, root with towelroot and then update just the kernel back to same version as the rest. This will give you root and keep Knox cool at least it did for me.

I'm unable to root my S5 Lolipop 5.1.1. keep getting error msg w/my apps???

Quick, recap, I own a galaxy S5 Lolipop 5.1.1 SM-G900W8 build #LMY47X.G900W8VLU1COI4, previously rooted.
It all begin, when my phone been experiencing some battery draining issue. So I decide to do factory rest. But get this at that time my phone was fully rooted, w/Lolipop 5.1.1...
So I've read all the informations I could get online made sure to unroot the phone ( using CF-Auto Root ktlevl-sm G900W8.), with Odin, and reflash the phone with custom recory (G900W8VLU1COI4.tar.md5 file). I've made sure to get the exact one matching my phone carrier.
And after rooted the phone...All went well...Then 24-48 hours after the **** hit the fan.!!!!
They weere dialogue box keep poping up, from Touchwiz has closed, to Unified Daemond has closed just to name a few...
I decided to factory rest the phone again, reflash and rooted same problem occuring occuring.
So I decide not to root and the issue stop but now I'm unable to fully use my phone because it anin't root so certain function of my phone can't benefit such like using Airplane mode or Mobile data toggle using tasker. When my phone was fully rooted I was able to take full advantage of my Tasker profile. I've google the web and came acrros people who expericing the same issue as I did, but can't find a solution.
If there anyone who had that problem and manage to solve it, kindly share your story and solution with me....
Thank you in advance on getting back to me,

Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized

Hi everyone,
Straight to the point, I bought Samsung S7 Edge second-hand and I get trouble in lagging and always show notification of "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes."
This problems also tangled me when I'm using Samsung Health...:crying::crying::crying:
As basic situation, I know it had been root and unroot before I bought this phone.
Is anyone can help me to get rid off?:crying::crying:
samsung health, android pay and secure folder won't work on device that has root or have been rooted. firstly, to get rid of the annoying notification, install titanium backup,grant root rights if you are still rooted, locate the apk "security log agent and freeze it. If not, install latest twrp and root with magisk or supersu, just search online how to do so. lastly , to get rid of the lagging and notification . flash latest stock rom via odin and everything would be fine ..just remember that your knox is tripped forever so don't expect samsung health would work after removing root or getting back to latest stock ..hope this helps and good luck
