Using mods

Hi, I rooted my phone to install the hebrew fonts and it works great.
The phone is factory unlocked, I rooted it as I said and set up recovery. I am pretty sure I saw something about super user while doing that but not sure.
So when I try to install the n1 torch or other mods via the market after installing them I just get a black screen when running them saying it is accesing SU and then it crashes.
Do I need to do anything else or is it possible that there are different ways/versions of rooting the phone?
If I do need to something to update the SU will it delete all my current settings and apps? When I rooted the phone I lost all my installations and settings.
Also, can I safely install any OS updates now that the phone is rooted?
Thanks!

You need to to enable root access to use apps link N1 torch... aka. super user or su... to do this, either flash a cyanogen, enomther or madcao ROM or flash modaco's superboot boot image...
If you want to keep everything as is and just enable su, use the superboot boot image... you won't loose any setting or apps...
As long as you have the stock ROM, you can install all OTA updates even if the phone is rooted... else, if you installed a cooked ROM, you might have to wait for the cook to include that in his ROM (Of course, this is generally earlier than OTA updates)...

Thanks for the reply but I think I already did that while rooting the phone I double clicked on 'install-superboot-windows.bat' while in recovery mode.
Is that what you mean or am I missing something?
Also ,what do you mean by the stock ROM?
Thanks!

[Q] No Root on Kitkat (slimkat) + Unlock?

I don't know how this happen but it was previously on JB (slimbean) and I flashed Slimkat. It said it couldn't installation had failed a couple of times, so I did a factory reset and stuff and wiped the phone completely and tried again. The phone flashed correctly this time and I was able to boot into Kitkat, everything was working fine.
But when I tried to install Greenify etc. I found out that I had lost root. I'm not sure how this happened because obviously I was previously rooted otherwise none of this could have worked. I tried flashing another kernel (Mackay) nothing changed. I tried installing SuperSU etc. nothing.
Any ideas why? I just want to be rooted so that I can use the Galaxy S Unlock app to unlock the phone which is my main concern (need it for new sim). If there is any other method to unlock the phone without having to root it would be fine as well as long as I can unlock the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks

When you flash most of these KitKat ROMs it seems you lose the superuser facility in so doing. Go to Settings>About Phone>Build number .... and press it like 7 times until it says you have developer options. Then go to Developer options and allow root access to apps or apps and ADB depending on your preference.
Then try Galaxy S unlock.
If the unlock doesnt work (and I know some people who say it hasnt) go back to GB 2.3.6 stock, root it with cf-root as usual, and then try unlock there. Then move back up to your kitkat after its unlocked.
Incidentally when moving up to Kitkat be sure to flash fist Cyanogenmod ROM, CM10.2 (or above) to get the new CWM recovery and the correct partition so that the rom works well.
Let us know

Thanks for the response. What I did was flashed semaphore for KitKat using Odin. That did the trick for giving root. Used galaxsim unlock and everything succeeded except for one thing (network lock) but I think that may have been due to there being no Sim in the phone currently.

Thanks man!! I was also worried abt this. Installed SlimKat on my GT-N7000, everything worked ok (still testing) until I wanted root access, I installed SuperSU but it didnt get any response, I even reinstalled the CWM, which screwed my firmware (had to reinstall that too! :silly: )
After pressing "build number" as u said repeatedly, I got the developer options enabled, where I activated root permission. Then SuperSU installed n updated with proper root permission! :good:

Unlocked/Rooted Problems

Hi all!
Iv got a Galaxy S III I9305 here, and it has just been unlocked from EE, so it can be used with a Three sim instead.
But this seems to have caused some problems...
I have no idea how this person has unlocked it, but now when I try to open a Banking App, its telling me it cant be used as the device is rooted...
why would the person that unlocked it have rooted it too? just seems weird!
My question is, if I was to follow This guide to unroot it, would I also loose the unlock to use any sim, as I will probably have to flash a stock EE rom back on to it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
cheers
Keith

You just need to flash a Stock Sammsung rom.Wich firmware have you now?When for example you.'re on 4.1.1 you need to find and flash true Odin Stock 4.1.2 firmware.This will remove the root.

Im not actually sure what version has been put on it to be honest, because it just looks like a stock rom to me, which is weird haha
It says its version 4.3.
So if I use Odin to flash this file... http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/38008/I9305XXUENH1_I9305EVRENH1_EVR.zip/
It should let me use banking apps, and also stay unlocked for any sim?
Cheers for your help!

Another option, would be to keep it rooted, install Xposed framework (which is great by the way) and then install Rootcloak.
Rootcloak lets you fool apps into thinking that the phone is not rooted.
I use it for some tv-streaming apps, which works quite well.

Tried giving this a go, but I cant get Xposed framework to install...
I just get a 'There was a problem while parsing the package" error :s
Its running Android 4.3 so it should be compatible.

need help with at&t note 3

Hello everyone... I just bought at&t note 3 unlocked version. Problem is that its on kitkat 4.4.2 and doesnt show any ota update so can anyone please provide me a link of stock rooted at&t lollipop rom which i can flash and root method with a proper guide please? I would be very thankful.

What you do is root what you have, install Towelroot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952593961 (open the app and click "make it rain" and it's rooted). Install Supersu and Busybox, then Safestrap https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952593962, open it and install it and this is rooted lollipop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2. Just one thing, (not saying you will) but flash the OC1 Kernel in Safestrap before you leave Safestrap. " 5. Flash the file called "SM-N900A_OC1_Kernel_Safestrap_Installer.zip" which is located under /sdcard/OC1_Kernel/ "

Hey Rooted, i have a 1.39gb file on my ext sd card called SM-N900A_0C1_Lollipop_Rooted_rom.zip, is it safe to delete this if i already have rooted oc1? or do i need it to flash safestrap? Also, for the past few weeks my oc1 rooted note 3 has been randomly rebooting itself in the middle of me using it, then entering a bootloop until it successfully boots up. Then sometimes when it successfully boots up, it reboots itself right when i put my password into the lockscreen. Sometimes clearing the cache doesnt help, i clear it multiple times for it to work. The other day i clicked the end button on a phone call, and right when i ended the call it rebooted itself. im lucky it didnt reboot during the call, i was on the phone with a towing company lol! Any idea whats going on?

If it's rooted, yea you can delete the file then. Do you have Xposed install, flash anything else with Safestrap, did you do a clean install of the Rom? When did the rebooting start, after you installed an app?

I do not have xposed framework installed, i heard its not compatible with the oc1 root. I never flashed any custom rom, im running just a stock rooted rom. Im not sure exactly when the rebooting started, its been going on for 2-3 weeks, i cant remember what i did before that. Last night i swapped sd cards to make sure it wasnt that, but i already had 1 random restart today. Do you think swapping sim cards is a good idea?

Xposed and 6.0.1 Errors

So... I had my N6 on 6.0 stock with root, made room in the system to install Xposed and had GB running great. Then I got greedy and installed 6.0.1, made room in system again and installed Xposed - on reboot I get constant NFC service errors and the phone is unusable. Go back to 6.0 and it works great. Tried installing a debloated stock 6.0.1 rom, w/ system-less root and get the same result after flashing Xposed.
Any insight? Tried searching with no results.

Seems like the issue was with the new root method. My solution was to remove the new root method using Update-unSU and then flash the Su2.52.zip. Xposed seems to be working fine now.

I am using sytemless root on 6.0.1 with xposed and don't have these issues

OK... The problem is back.
I was on 6.0.1 stick firmware - rooted with SU2.52 - removed the foreign language keyboards to make enough room in system to install the xposed framework (sdk78_arm version) - rebooted and get NFC services errors and phone is frozen.
Loaded the 6.0.1 lite rom - used unSU - installed SU2.52 and xposed and same result/error.
Loaded the 6.0.1 lite rom - left the system less root - installed xposed and same thing again.
Anyone have thoughts? I swear I am not that much of a newb but I can't figure this out. Even tried downloading a fresh copy of xposed but same thing.

It is most likely not updated to work with those root methods yet. With the updates in security each android update is gonna need xposed to be updated. Even to the point that it may stop working all together. So I would get used to not having it to be honest. It is only a matter of time before it stops working all together.

Same issue happening to me, all roads pointing to systemless root. I'm sure Rovo will update. I'm using SuperSu v2.6.2r3 btw

Try to do factory reset throughout TWRP.
I had same problem yesterday. After I installed xposed framework, I could not use my phone due to NFC service error popup message. But now, everything seems okay after factory reset. - no more error message.
