For several weeks I had a rooted stock firmware with just root and no other modifications. For all I know, it should have had official device status, but it was always "custom". I also noticed, that sometimes it went to official over the night and stayed that way until the next reboot.
I just figured out that the cause was adblock plus, which starts early after the boot and keeps running with root permissions, so SysScope detects it and sets the custom status. When it rescans the device during the next night, adblock isn't running because of deep sleep and so the status becomes official again.
After I deactivated ABP and restarted my phone, it got the official status right after the boot.

I have rooted my note 3 via towelroot (thank you so much geohot!!!). I have installed exposed framework, supersu, busybox and safestrap. Here is the question: my note switches from device status custom to official. On some boots it will have the custom status icon on screen. Some boots it does not. This corresponds to the system info as well....sometime shows custom and sometimes official. Why is this? Its no big deal i'm just curious. Thanks.

Once you rooted you customized the software. That custom padlock logo is a tattle tale telling on you! I believe your using an xposed module to "fake system status" in order to fool certain people. The xposed module is failing when you see this. It's possible an update, or setting was applied to the module making it fail. Or maybe it's losing it's superuser rights. I had the same thing happen to me. I used triangle away and haven't seen it again. It will surely come back on a factory reset I'm sure.
This happened to me as well and I know its not the xposed because I checked it. This has only happened 3 times and has not happen in like 4 days I checked my system and it says everything is official it did say custom the 3 times it happened I did do a factory reset and it still says official my question is has anyone found a way to unroot for warranty porpoises? Su will not unroot towelroot from what im seeing ...but if everything says official would you even need to worry about unrooting lol I mean if u just factory reset and sent it back I shows no sign of root its all official and no knox tripped ..just a thought ..

Freezing "sysscope " on my sgs4 removed the custom unlock boot logo /icon like a charm, however it still bounces back and forth between official and custom on device status when looking.

Remove "busy box" file in XBIN system folder. Found this solution on a "Galaxy S4" forum. For a some reason a system keeps some leftovers after the full recovery done. Kinda wrong.
So i just finished the process of rooting my s2 tablet 810 5.1.1 and every time i reboot or turn the phone on and off i notice a message that says
"Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit: kernel"
Ive done some google searches and i would like to think its normal becuase i read in a thread that this is because of the knox trip.
however i also see threads dedicatied on how to resolve this "issue"
As some of you guys might already know if the version is 5.1.1, then you need a kernel to load during the process of root.
when i attempted to root the first time the kernel boot did not restart my tablet for me, so i manually restarted even though the option was set to auto-reset.
I now believe the process was incomplete because the tablet entered a boot loop after i ran the auto-root file. (Failed 1st attemp)
Second attempt i ran the kernel file and then the tablet rebooted successful, howver THIS is when the "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit: kernel"
is something wrong or is all good? gonna check if i have root after this post.
SIDE QUESTION
in the thread of the guy who posted about how to root he mentions how to put a custom recovery. Is that mandatory? or can i do this later when i want to install a custom ROM?
will post agian if anything important comes up after i check if ROOT
Okay so something interesting did come up. It seems i am rooted, however i keep getting a notification that an unauthorized action haas been taken and i must click on a restart to undo the changes that have been done.
its kind of annoying because it keeps popping up. I assumw this is the knox security.
there is an option for "sperate work and play" where i can install knox app in a safe and isolated space. what is this?
should i just ignore this poppup ? or is there a way to get rid of it?
someone to talk to would be nice right now .
This is because your kernel was modified to be permissive in order to root your tablet.
Installing a custom recovery is a must and one of the main reasons of a rooted device, it will give you the possibility of making/restoring backups, installing apps and ROMs between other stuff.
The anoying pop-up can be disabled by freezing/uninstalling SecurityLogAgent

I understand what a custom recovery does, ive had it on my two previous phones and have tried TWRP and CW.
however i only installed them because i wanted to flash a custom rom on those two phones. With my s2 tablet im looking to just stay with root for now, that is why i am asking if the custom recovery is a must? because i dont see any use for it if i am just going to keep my tablet rooted and not flash any roms yet
also any idea on how to get rid of that pop up in notification saying i must click the restart to undo the changes that have been made

Originally I said I froze and unistalled SecurityLogAgent, however I did not. So I did it now. I will report back if I go error free.
Thank you!
I am having this same issue. I have twrp recovery installed, I have disabled/unistalled everything with knox security symbol . I continue to get this error. I have wiped everything and started fresh and cannot get rid of this error. The second problem i am having, I cannot reinstall those apps with TB, I tried each of them and I even let it set overnight while I slept and it was still going when I woke up.....
1. How can I get rid of this error?
2. If I can't how can i get tb to reinstall knox or can I unroot without having these reinstalled?
this is everything I have froze, backed up, and unistalled

Getting rid of all Knox apps is good when you are rooted but the anoying pop-up comes from SecurityLogAgent app and not from Knox apps, as soon as you freeze or uninstall it the message will stop.

Before I updated to 5.1.1, I went into SuperSU and removed root. After updating to 5.1.1, however, my hosts file still maintained a list of blocked domains, AppOps settings still exist, and frozen apps from ROM Toolbox are still disabled. I hoped the MM update would be a full install of the android system, but it still remains in this state. I disabled system updates, for example, and I still can't check for updates, and most ads are still blocked. I kind of like the fact that my phone is still blocking ads, but it is annoying since I can't update any of the root settings. Is there anything I can do apart from a factory reset? Or do I need a full reflash of the OS?
Thanks you
I unrooted by using Odin then taking the ota. Appops is a feature of the phone so don't worry about that. I would strongly recommend you do as I did. Flash the latest stock firmware using Odin then install the app Root Checker Pro to find out if you have root and busy box removed

Hi guys,
I am using my 1+5T for almost 2.5+ yrs now and since beginning i rooted the mobile for trying new custom ROM's, installing substratum themes, ad blocking etc etc.
Now many banking/payment related apps, maadhar, etc are showing as my phone is rooted. Magisk HIDE is not helping anymore.
So, i uninstalled magisk root and still my OEM is unlocked. all the previous apps shows similar message as my mobile is rooted.
How should i completely unroot my mobile without leaving any trace so that these apps doesn't show rooted messages again ?
Any Idea ?
NOTE: Previously i completely unrooted my mobile & still many apps shows rooted so got to root my mobile and used magisk HIDE .....

As long as your bootloader is unlocked, they will report your device as rooted. If Magisk Hide alone doesn't work, try the "Repackage Magisk Manager" option in Magisk Manager settings. It works for me.

I unrooted my mobile but still magisk manager was installed so apps showed message "my phone is rooted". After that i uninstalled magisk manager and all apps started working fine.
Now i am unrooted but my bootloader is unlock.
Well, I still have that same problem. But only from Samsung Pass with an actual message box, which says that my device is rooted so can't use the app for security reasons.
I rooted my Galaxy S20 FE 5G SM-G781B with Magisk and afterwards uninstalled it with the Complete Uninstall method, but after automatic boot, that procedure only gave me some weird errors and I couldn't boot the phone.
It got stuck to this error filled download mode screen. There I saw an option to lock the bootloader back. Well, did that but then my phone got itself into a boot loop!
I managed to get to the download mode (in between the loops) and then it became even more errored and with all red alert stuff there!
Thought I bricked the whole damn device which I only bought like two weeks earlier rip.
Well then after some google fun time I downloaded original stock firmware to odin it. Well, nothing worked and always failed!
Then afterwards it became to my attention to try to flash the firmware that I originally flashed just before installing Magisk.
Heck yeaaah that actually worked lol and all bank stuff works and even software update and I now have all the newest updates etc and Magisk and Root Checker shows no root and then I removed Magisk for good and rebooted the phone to check any surprises.
No surprises and everything works, EXCEPT Paypal app and Samsung Pass!
Paypal just says after trying to log in "Please check your information and try again", but Samsung Pass actually says that "Your device has been rooted. Samsung Pass cannot be used on rooted devices for security reasons."
So what the heck!
I hate myself for rooting the new phone for nothing and now my ocd suffers for having that stupid whatever error stuff there, especially since I actullay USE Samsung Pass and Paypal!
EVERYTHING else works just fine, but not those two!
Grrr!
So all you wise people, can I actually do something about this or not??
Cheers!
@Hopeasilmu I would expect that the Samsung apps will now be complaining since you probably tripped the Knox fuse when you unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device. Once that's tripped you can't get it back...
If you need more info on Knox there's plenty available both here on XDA (check the Samsung forums) and on the web in general.

You can still lock the boot loader. There is a way. I did that on my Samsung M31 however I cannot recall the steps.
Hello,
The last couple of months and completely out of no where my 4g data randomly stops working. The status bar icon shows that it's stuck on upload and won't download any data. The only way I've found to fix it outside of restarting the phone is to change the cell band type from auto to wcdma then back.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Second issue is with Magisk and I know this is for Samsung but I figure why not ask anyway. As of yesterday after a reboot I lost root. Magisk apps shows I need to install magisk and install the app even though I'm in the app. Also a bunch of my apps are acting like I've never uzed them before and they need to be setup again. I haven't installed any updates so I'm not sure what caused it.
I've tried completely uninstalling Magisk and reinstall and that didn't do anything. The install went through fine but after launching the app it still says no root.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi, I think it has been updated and Magisk is useless due to new layers of security. I guess we'll wait until a new rom is made for the new update, including stock. I don't know if Magisk can release a new version and overcome this.
Thanks.
Reflashing the custom firmware then also Reflashing Magisk did get it working for me again.
I've since updated to the newest firmware, flashed OneOS and Magisk and it's been working fine until a little while ago when Magisk randomly shows as not installed again after a reboot.
I take it no one else has had this issue still?
Thanks
