I don't think that's possible.. and why do you want to do that? If you're using Jellybean then Rooting it takes just about 2 to 3 minutes...
Yes Rooting does VOID your warranty but if you just flash the stock firmware or do a factory reset then it will remove Root access anyway...
So yeah you can "hide" your root access if you're rooted BUT you can't show that you're rooted if you don't root it in first place... :silly:

I think the OP does'nt even know what rooting is.

I don't think that totally possible.. But why would you want to hide your root access from some apps anyway?
You can do this then... Open the particular app you don't want your root access to be seen and when the Grant and Deny message appears from SuperSU, simply select "Deny" and "tick" remember my choice (or something similar).. this should prevent that app from getting root access

That is only used to make sure that a user has Root access - nothing more than that...

Rooting your phone means giving yourself root, or superuser (think...admin) access, giving you access to system files and the ability to change things that normally are marked read only. This allows you to change all kinds of things that normally you wouldn't be able to, along with install custom versions of Android.
. If you root your phone and something happens while the phone is rooted and you go with it to father samm, your warranty is voided, unless you unroot the phone. As for how to root your phone here is a very usefull link with guide on how to root unroot: http://rootgalaxynote.com/

You'll be confused by the instructions...
If you do something wrong your note may brick badly.
I recommend you to update your note to ICS via Kies and don't root your note unless you have much knowledge about rooting and flashing ROMs cauz it bears your own risk.

You got a 'Thanks' because I hit the wrong button.
You have posted a question in Themes and Apps, and your question shows you have done no research by, for example, reading the sticky threads at the top of General or Development.....also by using the 'Search' function. Do your research before you flash anything.

I cant root on ics

I cant post in the dev forum cause im new so i thought id post it here. When i try the motifail root i get the error that it doesnt know what the adb drivers are. I followed the instructions to a T and it said it was completed but when i installed root checker it said i wasnt rooted. ( just asking when rooting are you supposed to turn off the phone or do you leave i on because i just left it on. I installed the drivers but idk what is wrong.) I am trying to root so i can get jb. Thanks for a help. And if im posting thus in the wrong place please tell me so everyone doesnt hate me. Thanks

so you installed motorola device manager to get the correct drivers right? if so just wipe caches on your phone from within recovery (power + vol-up simultaneously with power off) and try motofail2go again. make sure you are doing the bug report button combo correctly. just keep trying
When im doing motofail do i turn off my phone?

Homescreen is where you start the process.
Make sure you have unknown sources checked in settings and usb debugging turned on.
And when the process is successful will something
Happen? Like will the phone reboot or something?

[Q] Root and OTA

Hello everyone.
I have rooted my Mini with pre-rooted firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282
Looks like it uses stock ROM but with root access and does not change counter.
Does it support OTA?
Thx in advance,
Yes it does have ota

Thank you. Thread can be closed, I think.
Strange. I got root using presented guide. Tried to check for updates and it says that I have modified my device and it cannot check for updates.
Do I need to make factory reset or FOTA updates are not compatible with root?
Happens to me if u remove or delete certain apps, Samsung scan your phone and says u have custom or modified ROM .

There's no 'bad' to rooting. You just get root permissions, which in turn gives to access to the root directory, which also means apps that modify files in the root directory can run, this can add functionality to the phone.
If you don't have good reasons to root, don't do it. You'll know if you really need root or not.

Think of it as an upgrade. Rooting makes backing up your phone alot easier.

Crazy about android but noob on making root or etc....
rooting will allow apps to run with elevated user permissions (god mode)
Some apps like adblockers requires root rights. Usually a switch user (su) command is used to elevate rights.
If any app is requesting root rights, a popup will appear and you can confirm root access. This can be set permanently or each time on request.
heres a bit long process for 253 root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287149

As far as I know srsroot does not work.

Its funny they specifically put the model number and said it was supported. I would bet money that it does not work at all and they are just a shady group that should not be trusted.
I would wait for a video link to see if it works before anyone tries
I don't see the model number listed there. I wonder if someone just got overzealous with adding S5 variant model numbers and corrected it.
*edit* I see it now, I had to do a search. Hmmm... I don't know how this snuck under the radar if legit.

Loki is an instance of being able to use a custom recovery w/o unlocked BL. Coming from an i337, you begin to assume boot loader unlock isn't likely.

did SRSRoot install the SuperSU if so check your settings "Application Manager" in settings, if SuperSU is installed as a user app it will be listed in the "Downloaded" section if it is installed as a system app it will be in the"All" section.
or run a file explorer like esfile explorer that will allow you to view the /system/app folder (you cant write to it but you can still read from it) check and see if Supuser.apk exists in /system/app, if it does that means that at some point the srsroot app is gaining R/W access to system.

loki actually bypassed BL (to my knowledge) at any rate that was patched so isnt an option for our device
