Has anyone had a problem with the intial setup for Good for Enterprise on custom Android ROMs? I installed it (using an issued PIN) on stock eclair on my Captivate and it worked fine. I then rooted, backed it up via TIBU and restored on Froyo and it still worked fine. The same process worked recently on Gingerbread. However, I have tried multiple custom Froyo ROMs and 1 GB recently and if I try the initial setup (with a new PIN) on anything other than stock eclair (even rooted), it will stop at "retrieving policies" and never complete. I then have to ask for a new PIN from my IT support and revert to eclair and finish the setup, backup, and restore on the later custom ROMs. Has anyone seen this and have any idea why? My IT support has no idea. I am not in a policy checking for root access and it does continue to work with root.
EDIT: I wonder if it is that the device name used in build properties is referenced during that step and it fails due to an unknown device...
Also, I have found that after I have it working after a certain PIN used, if I ever restore to an ealier point (due to a theme gone wrong, etc) then it stops syncing even if the restore point is AFTER I had it working with that PIN. It seems like the local software either is exchanging a dynamic password with the server or there is a message index, etc that has to be in sync. Any thoughts?
When in the Good setup screen, go to Menu>Device Info. Does the Phone number appear? I've been using CM7 just fine with Good but after the last few nightlies, Good no longer works. The phone number doesn't appear in the device info. Good thinks there is no phone network present.
I am a heavy Good user, unfortunately also addicted to changing ROMs on a frequent basis. I have never had an issue with Good running on any ROM, just on restoring from TiBu. I can flash new kernels, themes, etc, and Good works just fine. If I re-flash the same ROM, it resides and works just fine. It is only when flashing a new ROM I have problems. Good appears to restore OK, but won't pull new emails to the inbox. I ave to get a new PIN and re-install.
Same here.. i am addicted to flashing as well.
I tried Titanium backup to backup and restore to new ROM, but somehow Good just keep crashing after i put in my password.
I am sure I can ask for new pin, reinstall and what not.. but how often can we ask IT people (for my company at least) for new pins, until one day they may say, bugger off you ROM addict!
Finally figured it out, I think. The trick is to NOT have Good running in persistent mode when you do the backup with TiBu. IOW, reboot and backup with TiBu before you start Good and log in. I did that the last couple of new ROMs and it restored and worked just fine.

GOOD for Enterprise on Imito AM801 Tablet
I am also getting the Phone network is off. This is a tablet and does not have any phone piece or sim card installed. No hardware is even inside the tablet. Has anyone ran accross this issue on tablets?
This works for me.

Good with custom roms
Just to share a recent experience on that topic:
I wanted to have a custom rom but need GFE for my work which of course has a policy of no root with GFE.
So after a little research and useful info from this forum I figured a very simple way to do it, as long as you don't consider root as critical for your day-to-day stuff
1. Install your custom rom which most likely requires rooting
2. Install SuperSU from the Play Store and use it to remove root completely
3. Install and activate GFE
That's it!
Hoope this helps someone else how got a little scared to have to go through scripts and stuff to do this

Does this still work?
I too need GFE on my Galaxy S4 but am sick of the poor battery life. I tried SlimKat and Google Play Edition roms, and removed root using Super SU in both cases. But GFE gives a message "Not supported for this type of Handheld". . Not sure if GFE is looking for a TW based ROM.
I will give it another go using Carbon ROM. Still, any other advice / experience on getting GFE working on a custom ROM would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You quoted a 1 year old post, might be hard to get a reply. Also this is for the S1, while the app (GFE) might be the same, the ROMs definitely aren't.
That being said, chances are that the app was updated to prevent that workaround. You could flash a TW based ROM and test it though.
Thanks for the reply. I will try posting a fresh question in the Q&A thread in case anyone has more recent experience with GFE. Cheers.

There is an xposed module for this.
Hi, are you referring to Wanam Xposed which has a "fake official system status" functionality?
As I understand, Xposed needs root, but Good for enterprise doesn't work on a rooted handset. Can Xposed work without root?
Also Wanam Xposed is meant to work with TW based ROMs whereas I don't want to go back to TW based ROM unless it is extremely light.

I'm a bit confused here, Custom ROMs are pre-rooted. Therefor, if you're not on TW, you're rooted.
And yes, Xposed does require root. As for Wanam, I duno if it works on AOSP but best way to know is you try
Thanks for replying.
Supersu has a Full Unroot functionality which removes root.
Yes I will try, but every failed attempt sends an email to office admin so I have to be prudent.

The link above mentions that root is required while installing XPosed, but later it can perform without root. Is this correct or not?

I have never personally tried it without root but you can test that fairly easily. I expect it would depend on the module you're using, some require more permissions than others.
I tried it out but it didn't work.
I have to go back to stock ROM
Hi, I recently rooted my Z3c using KingRoot. I ten installed custom Rom: SLiM ROM 4.9. Works great, but now I found out Kingroot is very untrustworthy. How do I remove/replace kingroot without loosing root?
I rooted as per these instructions:
whattechsays.com/root-xperia-z2-z3-lollipop
So I have SuperSU installed, but KingRoot does not appear in apps list - so no option to uninstall. I can see kingroot folder in internal memory. Is deleting this sufficient to remove kingroot and any potential back-door?
I am new to rooting, so please explain simply if you can.
Many thanks.
Better remove Kingroot, and unroot all at once. You have Slimrom installed so I'm assuming your bootloader is unlocked so simply flash SuperSu Zip via recovery to get back root.
Kingroot is unreliable and shady when it comes to rooting devices in fact its not even endorsed here in Xda

I already have SuperSU installed already. And when I run rootcheck it says SuperSU has root. I have ' uninstalled' Kingroot, however kingroot folder/files remain on internal memory and I assume it could still be active and hiding it's process?

Came across this thread from Google, but since it doesn't look like you really got an answer, here goes.
When you flashed Slim ROM, you would have replaced the system partition where Kingroot was installed, meaning it is no longer there at all.
The files left on the internal memory would have been written by Kingroot before and can just be deleted.

Oh dear, another Kingroot user stuck, how many warnings about Kingroot need to be posted on the threads before people listen.
Personally, knowing about what Kingroot does and the information it sends to China, I would wipe my phone and start from scratch.
There is a good guide written by bilboa1, which is very easy to follow.
Frenik is right, if you flash a rom, then the system should get wiped also. Just make sure you wipe data as well as dalvik/cache then you might end up with a Slim rom with SuperSU.

I used the version 2.4 and worked like a charm
Although as above... even though i have stepped on the same rake as you... don't use KingsRoot... there probably is a fake copy of my phone somewhere in china thanks to that...
"use SuperSu Me" app
Sent from my D5833 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Hi fellas. I write ehre in order to not open a new thread. I recently bought one of this little beasts. I'm running 23.4.A.1.264 (stock in phone), Android 5.1.1. I've succesfully rooted it with king root 4.9.5. I've tried to change it to Supersu without success. I've tried supersu me, the script to remove kingroot to supersu from ver 1.8 to 2.4 and always lose root permissions. Could someone tell me what the f*** I am doing wrong?
I just rooted my MXPE with 6.0 and stock rom using the systemless method, and I have a couple questions. First, I have a few apps that want to install themselves or addons as system apps, mainly battery apps. Better Battery stats is one, and in its case, it states "does not prevent from installing updates." Since altering /system negates the main benefit of the systemless root, I'm curious if installing apps as system apps changes /system, and therefore makes it more work to take an OTA update. And on that note, how about moving apps to the system ROM (I'm guessing this wouldn't affect it, as this should be something entirely different, but I'd like to know for sure).
My other question is with xposed. I would like to install it, but as far as I can tell doing so would alter /system and, again, cause issues with accepting an OTA. However, it's my understanding all that would need to be done would be to re-flash the stock boot and system images, take the OTA, then reroot and reinstall xposed. Is this correct?
I see that Root is gained through Magisk... correct?
What would happen if I simply flashed a SU zip -- like, SuperSU 2.8x or Superuser 3.x?
Then you'll gain root, just the same. People prefer Magisk over anything else because of its modularity, though.
Ok, next question.... lets assume I did a recovery/reset.
Using TWRP, I'd install SuperSu 2.8x..... Do I need to flash the DM verity? mod fstab? etc... all the stuff the guide has us do.
Or can I just use a fresh install of the OS.... Twrp, and flash supersu?
Sorry, things have changed quite a bit since I was active in the community. (Moto G3 - glory days!)
But flashing supersu instead of using magisk root will cause you to not pass safety net. Honestly magisk is better than supersu now Especially since chainfire stopped working on it. Just stick with the built in root on magisk and you'll be able to do everything supersu does but better lol. I came the Moto g4play so I kinda understand where your coming from bud but there's a reason the dev community recommends magisk over supersu now lol

Thanks for your response. I guess I'm just old fashioned. haha.
The last time I really got into the rooting scene, was like I said -- the Moto G3. And for a $100 back in 2015... it was a heck of a phone, with one of the most robust and diverse selection of devs. Literally had 50+ roms built, and 15-20 of them were nightlies.
I popped into the G3 section just a few days ago to see what all they were up to, and it blew my mind... people are still turning out rom after rom after rom! Kernels are getting updates on a frequent basis too.
I'm going to adjust to this magisk deal... i'm taking quite a liking to it now that I've had more time to dig around.
Quick question... do the sound mods/libraries have any benefits in the magisk module downloads? I use Viper4Android, and it can def tell a difference with it... especially in loudness. But what about the other sound libraries and mods? Do they have any benefit?
Thanks!
Hi,
At times like this I really wish that I knew more about android than I do, but then again that's part of the reason there are site's like reddit. What I'm trying to do is use the sudohide app to solve the issue I've been having as far as keeping it from trying to update itself and becoming enabled again. For my youtube stuff I use the vanced app which at least for me better than the real youtube app. When I open up the sudohide app I receive a prompt that says xposed framework is not installed. Does my lg v30 phone have to be rooted to be able to use the sudohide app? If so I really need to get it rooted, of course if it's rooted I can probably just get rid of youtube anyway.
Thanks

Sudohide is an (ed)xposed module, which needs root to run in the first place, so you need to unlock your device unless you haven't done so already (it will wipe all your data, backup first), flash TWRP which replaces your stock "recovery" program which is originally used to do factory resets etc, but twrp can do much more. Then flash magisk in twrp, your phone is now rooted, now you can install riru core (dependency for edxposed) and edxposed framework systemlessly, writing directly to system will definitely break safetynet, which is why this is the popular way of rooting these days. Some tinkering around is needed to keep safetynet passing (otherwise you'll lose access to some banking apps, some games, netflix will work, but you can't install it from play store). Just rooting lets you access all the read-only partitions and install magisk modules that take advantage of that, xposed lets you mess with the behavior of user/system apps.
Hi zipsu,
Of course thanks so much for your feedback, and as silly as it might sound..all I have to do now is work up my courage and attempt to root my lg v30 phone. I know that a lot of user's say that it's actually pretty simple, but I think they have more knowledge about android that I currently have. It probably doesn't matter but I'm currently running android version 9.0 on my phone.
