I was one of the ones who had the install interrupted error over the weekend, but managed to get 4.4 installed. However, in order to do so my phone was wiped and I also assumed that 4.4 would break the root. I managed to get Isis working via an xposed module on 4.3, but now when I try to use isis it tells me that my phone is rooted.
My status is official and I do not have the pad padlock in addition to being on kit kat. How can I go about getting this app working again?
Thank you

you have to wait till we have a odin version of 4.4.2 or we have root so you can fully unroot if you look in your app drawer you will find the superuser app it is in system/app so you cant just uninstall it

So,
I've had the phone for 2 months now. Did not root originally. Updated to AT&T's push of MJ5. Recently noticed that I get lockups/crashes periodically on stock apps. Like camera would start with black screen, or Alarms crash when they suppose to ring and would not ring. Decided to root but since on MJ5 used Kingo root. Not too worry about things passing on to China.
I was trying to get Isis to work and for some reason neither Xprivacy nor Isis root fixer work for me. Xprivacy did not do a thing - still got "you've got rooted phone". And Isis root fixer would let Isis work, but it would never complete setup. So I decided to go back to original unrooted stock.
Tried going with "First 3 Steps" in the Root-de-la-vega but running the EXE flash failed and I am back to rooted MJ5.
Should it work using Root-de-la-vega's exe to downgrade to MI9, so I can then use AT&T update to get MJ5? Or should I wait for next update and just accept it?
Do NOT use Root De La Vega if you are on MJ5. You will hard brick your phone.

why dont you use the Factory reset option or enter recovery and wipe.
Hi Guys,
My company uses Good For Enterprise for email, which requires a phone to not be rooted. Well I was using Xposed and Rootcloak to hide root, but it appears an update patched that exploit. So I flashed the SBF for 4.4.2 and have Good running. Well I wanted to be able to use TWRP to go back to my rooted backups, but once I push TWRP to my device, my STOCK unrooted fresh SBF'ed received a "SuperSU Installer" in my apps and also a persistent notification wanting me to install SuperSU through Google Play or TWRP. Good then failed the Root check and locked me out. So I thought I could push the stock recovery back and it would go away, but nope, no dice. Any ideas? FWIW I'm running a DE Moto X from Verizon, unlocked bootloader on 4.4.2 system and bootloader.

Seems you did everything right BUT when TWRP ask if you wanna install root or superuser.. forget which it says. Just say no. Then you should be root free. Hope that helps!

Thanks, but when I was in TWRP recovery it did ask me to root, and I said no; but it still had the "SuperSU Installer" in the app drawer, and couldn't be removed.

hmm, well if you say you came from stock, flashed TWRP and SU installed itself. than maybe just removing root would work. There's a guide for that, probably in the general thread. also, I read that there is a way to load multiple ROMs that's stickied in one of the threads. That could be exactly what you need!!
Don't remember which thread so you have to find it.
So i was Rooted on NB4 and after being unable to do the KK update OTA I manually installed it through recovery and it worked. After rebooting after the KK update was installed I still have the "Custom" padlock on the boot-animation and to my surprise the SuperUser app is still on my phone. I have tried to go into Application Manager to attempt to uninstall it but there is no uninstall option: Only the option to "force stop" and "turn off." If i try and open the SU app it just says "there's no SU binary installed. I've checked in Odin Mode and Knox is still 0x0, Binary say "Offiial" and Status is "Custom."
Anyone have any idea how to remove the "Custom" status and SU App?
Try doing a factory reset in recovery, and wiping the cache in recovery.
Tried that 2 times already. Also just went to set up ISIS wallet and I get an error message saying that "This phone has been rooted, ISIS is not supported"

It's almost acting as if the phone is rooted but there is no Root access or binary. I'm gonna attempt to install the update again and see what happens.
Reinstalled update and still SU is installed. I just want to get this thing back to stock

Well when you root it installs certain files. When you update without unrooting, those files never get erased completely. Traces are left behind. Now that you've updated and don't have root access to remove them, you're stuck with them. You can try reverting back to mj5 (if it's possible because I don't know anyone tried yet) and updating again. Or you can patiently wait for root access to come along for the latest release.
2 routes that I see.
The XDA method of reverting back to MJ5 with Odin (but stop before rooting it)
or
megalomaniac's MJ5 for Safestrap. Install SS, install MJ5 to the stock slot. Reboot and you'll have to set the whole phone up again (AT&T Ready2Go will run), then you'll get the NB4 update almost immediately. If that won't load 4.4.2, at least it'll look like a stock NB4 (no "Custom" padlock) and Samsung (at BB) or AT&T will reflash it with their tool - which will let it accept the update to 4.4.2.
Here's what I did...
I went from the 4.4.2 leak back to MJ5 - no root - then accepted NB4 OTA. Then used Kingo 1.18 to root NB4. Explicitly copied all of the files from fix.zip and updated permissions.
Before accepting 4.4.2 OTA - go into SuperSu and go to options - fully uninstall root - then reboot.
Root will be gone - now proceed with 4.4.2 OTA (may need to set clock ahead or factory reset to trigger OTA download) and it installed w/o any issues.
Leak -> MJ5 stock/no root -> NB4 OTA -> root -> apply fix.zip -> Unroot -> 4.4.2 OTA
HTH - good luck!

What fix are you referring to? I'm on stock rooted NB4 with safe strap but I am thinking about going back to stock rom slot. Un installing safestrap. Then using SU to remove root. Then use king to u root after SU is gone. What do you think about that?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
If you un-root with superuser, you can't un-root with kingo too. Because you already un-rooted.
why are you giving up root?
I see so many people trying to go to stock KK but they will lose root forever - no? Why not use Knoxraid and have both (unless you are selling / taking it back)? Sorry - I'm a bit confused by this mass exodus from root ...
I am referring to the fix posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699321
It contains some system files to replace and a script.
I did not use SafeStrap at all.

Hi, I need to downgrade from kitkat to gingerbread in order to make Barclays pingit work. I tried many things but the damn app to my disgust won't work on rooted phones. Is it just a matter of using ODIN? And which gingerbread ROM should I use? Can you please send me some links thanks! :crying:
Have you tried temporary unrooting from the superSU/Superuser options then installing the app.

Hi, thanks for the reply, when I install SuperSU it tells me I need to update binary SU by doing a manual Re-root? What does it mean?
Just flash this in recovery http://download.chainfire.eu/370/Sup...erSU-v1.80.zip download link is at bottom of page.
EDIT: here's the latest update at bottom of page http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
Thank you, I flashed it, went to SuperSu, did the full un-root, it worked as the app disappeared but the damn Barclays app still finds the root and wont work...is there any other way around it? Or downgrading...
Found this but you need to install the 'Xposed Framework'' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577095
Thanks but I've already downgraded to stock rom, did what I had to do with Barclays Pingit and re upgraded to kitkat again...now I won't be doing this crap anymore, I will just buy a cheap 2nd hand mob, install the almighty Barclays apps and use that when needed...easy...:cyclops:
Yeah probably a better idea until the almighty Barclays app gets an update so customers can use it on rooted phone, but tbh i can't see that happening anytime soon.

You could install xposed and use root cloak. Apps that don't work if you have root are just stupid.
ok I rooted the phone with stumpRoot and everything Worked well i did a factory reset and lost my root I went back and read downloaded stumpRoot and installed it but it said I'm rooted but I lost my superuser permissions and no root apps are working I can't even log into the Play Store or my google mail keep getting an error message what do I need to do to fix these problems and get my Root back im on 4.4.2
